Care Your Dream

I always have the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina(芭蕾舞女) twirling around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would twirl in the field of wildflowers that grew in my 36 . For hours I would dance 37 people were watching me. 38 woke me up when I heard a voice saying, “I don’t know why you 39 trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty, slim little girls. 40 , you don’t have the talent to 41 be a ballerina.” I remember how those words paralyzed(使麻木) every 42 in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours.

We lived in the country by a nearby lake and I would sometimes go there to hide. I enjoyed 43 by the water. I would sit there for hours and stare at my 44 . There I was, looking 45 like a pretty ballerina dancer. Reflections don’t 46 . Once the waves would come, my reflection was 47 , washed away just like my 48 . I sat there staring at the water, hoping that my reflection would reappear and be 49 .

As I grew older, I began to realize that the dream I had was never 50 , so it slowly died. It’s not that I wanted it to die, 51 I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words. “You can’t do it.” When I 52 woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you can’t just keep 53 in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the 54 . I still go to the lake sometimes and sit there. Looking at my reflection is different now too. When I was young, I looked at how others saw me. Now that I am older and 55 , I look at how God sees me.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分 30分）

JIUQUAN, Gansu Province, Sept. 6(Xinhua) ---- China’s manned spacecraft Shenzhou-7 will be launched at an appropriate time between Sept. 25 and 30 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern Gansu Province, a spokesman said here on Saturday. The mission will accomplish the first spacewalk by Chinese astronauts.

“All the major systems involved in the launching are now in the final preparation. The main tests for the spacecraft, the Long-March II-F rocket, suits for the space walk and a satellite accompanying the fly have also been finished, ” said the spokesman.

In addition, the ground control system is fully prepared, including the launch site, the landing site, and the communication for observation and control.

When Shenzhou-7 enters its orbit, one of the three taikonauts will conduct a spac walk, said Zhao Changxi, a senior scientist with the project, earlier.

According to Zhao, cameras would be fixed outside and inside of the ship for live broadcasting of the space walk.

While the last mission of Shenzhou-6, with a crew of two, was aimed at several days of manned flight, this time the task might be more stringent as one of its main goals is the space walk.

Earlier reports said a crew of six astronauts had been chosen for the mission, with three manning the spacecraft and three substitutes.

China successfully put two manned spacecrafts into orbit in 2003 and 2005 respectively, becoming the third country to send an astronaut into space after the United States and the former Soviet Union(now Russia).

56. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Shenzhou-7 is better equipped than the last two spaceships.

B. Shenzhou-7 will be more successful than the last two launches.

C. All the systems involved in the launching have been prepared.

D. China is ready for the launching of Shenzhou-7.

57. We can learn from the passage ________.

A. This will be the third time for Chinese astronauts to have a space walk

B. Three of the six astronauts chosen for the mission will walk in space

C. The space walk will be live broadcasted on TV

D. Everything has been prepared except communication system

58. The underlined word”stringent”most probably means

A. challenging B. encouraging C. interesting D. moving

B

You can tell a lot about people by looking at their hair — and not just whether they brush, spray or blow-dry. Scientists have found a way to use hair to figure out where a person is from and where that person has been. The finding could help solve crimes, among other useful applications.

Water makes up more than half an adult human’s body weight. Our bodies break water down into its parts — hydrogen and oxygen. Atoms of these two elements end up in our tissues, fingernails, and hair. But not all water is the same. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms can vary in how much they weigh. Different forms of a single element are called isotopes(同位素). And depending on where you live, tap water contains unique proportions(比例) of the heavier and lighter isoto- pes of hydrogen and oxygen.

James R. Ehleringer, an environmental chemist at the University of Utah, and his colleagues collected hair from barbers and hair stylists in 65 cities across the United States. Even though people drink a lot of bottled water these days, the scientists found that hair still reflected the concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in local tap water. That’s probably because people usually cook their food in the local water. What’s more, most of the other liquids we drink — including milk and soft drinks — contain large amounts of water that also come from sources within their area.

The new technique can’t point to exactly where a person is from, because similar types of water appear in different areas. But authorities can now use the information to analyze hair samples from criminals or crime victims and narrow their search for clues.

Based on the finding, Jurian A. Hoogewerff, a chemist at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, offers this advice: “If you’re a criminal, shave”

59. Which of the following is central to this technique?

A. water B. skin C. hair style D. drinks

60. According to the passage, we can infer that _________.

A. Ehleringer and his colleagues can exactly predict the birthplaces of criminals

B. the similar forms of a single element are called isoto pes

C. scientists already know how the composition of water varies throughout the countrv

D. all hairs have the same concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen isoto pes

61. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Water composition B. Change your hair C. Hair detectives D. No way out

C

Dear Mom,

It’s now two months since your passing. I survived your funeral, made it through my first motherless Mother’s Day and am slowly re-entering everyday life. But I need to tell you Mom, it’s not easy.

I never thought we were terribly close. We actually spent more time butting our Irish heads together than not. Affection was not part of our history either. The turn of your cheek as I kissed you was the sum total of our physical touch. But one thing we always could do was talk. Usually from opposite ends of the phone line, mind you, but nonetheless we talked.

I called you every day. Our routines rarely varied. I’d ask about your lunch. You’d review CNN news. We’d talk about your grandchildren. Occasionally, you’d mention neighborhood happenings. Then I’d wish you good night and say good-bye. For the last 15 years, that was our routine.

In the fall of 1995, you fell ill. Time and a careless lifestyle were seeking their revenge(报应). Hospitalization was necessary. Doctors predicted the worst.

“Not my mom, ” I thought.

Little did they know about the strong-willed Irish woman lying in their ward bed. You survived and returned home. The daily patterns of our phone calls continued. You were unbeatable. Or so it seemed to me.

Three years later, almost to the day, you again lost a fight against the vices battling for your body. Again you traveled to the hospital. Again the doctors predicted the worst. “Not my mom” I insisted. You people still don’t know who you are dealing with. Again you won the battle and came home. Only this time to my place.

Your advancing diseases would no longer allow you an independent lifestyle. Health officials warned me against bringing you into my home. They felt you were too tough a patient to handle.

“Not my mom!” I decided living together would make up for time we missed while I was growing up and you were working. On a rainy Thanksgiving Eve, I brought you to my home.

In March, five days before St. Patrick’s Day, you died. You basically stopped eating and slowly wasted away. Nothing I could say or do made a difference. We argued regularly about diet and nutrition. I even stood over you for the “you know you are killing yourself” lecture.

You calmly responded that you didn’t have a death wish. You just weren’t hungry. At the time I didn’t understand. Today it is very clear to me that there is an essential difference between a death wish and a desire to live.

Now you are gone. I wish every day for the chance to call you. To talk about nothing, to argue about everything.

I think now were I not your daughter, I would have judged you a truly remarkable woman. Unfortunately, the characteristics that made you strong as a woman and successful as a career person are the same ones that put us in opposition as mother and daughter.

My witnessing of your death allows me now to see that so clearly. But what’s the use of that?

I just miss you and want to talk.

Love, Christy

66. The underlined phrase in Paragraph Two “butting our Irish heads together” probably means the mother and daughter _________.

A. conflicting with each other B. getting along well with each other

C. hugging each other to show affection D. meeting each other for something

67. What mainly resulted in the mother’s illness?

A. The daughter’s neglect of her in everyday life.

B. Too much workload and too little rest.

C. Aging and too careless a lifestyle.

D. Bad nutrition and diet.

68. What did the doctors say about the mother’s disease the second time she went to stay in hospital?

A. She was in too bad a mood and it affected her health.

B. She was badly ill and had not long to live.

C. She must change her lifestyle to survive her illness.

D. She had to have a strong will to fight her disease to survive it.

69. Why did the writer decide to take her mother to her house against the doctors’ advice?

A. Hospital fees were too much for her and her mother.

B. The hospital and her home made no difference to her mother’s illness.

C. She wanted to change her mother’s diet and nutrition.

D. She wanted to make up for the time she and her mother missed with each other.

70. Why did the writer write this letter to her dead mother?

A. To make a summary of her mother’s life.

B. To show her dissatisfaction with her mother’s way of life.

C. Because she missed her mother and also regretted not having spent more time with her.

D. Because she regretted having done her mother so much injustice.

Manners nowadays in metropolitan cities like London are practically non-existent. It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside to take the last remaining seat on the underway or bus.

This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men, who say that since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with politeness and that those who go out to work should take their turns in the rat race like anyone else. But women have never claimed to be physically strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, the fact remains that courtesy(礼节) should be shown to the old and the sick. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently(冷漠地) reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves, “First come, first served” while a grey-haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple(残障者) stands? Yet this is all too often seen.

Older people, tired and impatient from a day’s work, are not always considerate either — far from it. Many arguments break out as the older people push and squeeze(挤)each other to get on buses. One cannot approve this, of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.

It seems urgent, not only that communications in transport should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite. Shop assistants won’t bother to assist; taxi drivers shout at each other as they dash dangerously around corners; bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have time to get on or off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that it is up to the young to do their small part to stop such lowering of moral standards.

This summer, I took part in the voluntary work ofthe Beijing Olympic Games in Beijing UniversitywherealltheOlympictable—tennismatcheswereheld.

Before the Games began, we spent several weeks training for the Olympic services, improving our Enghsh both in speaking and listening. We had to get familiar with all the roads, streets and traffic of Beijng. In addition, we were trained to know the cultures of different nations.

During the Games, our work began around 11:00 a. m. and ended about 10:00 p. m. We led people to their seats and answered all their questions. Using English, we introduced Beijing to foreign friends and gave them accurate information. Sometimes we provided the audience with some rules for table-tennis matches.

Through my services for the Olympics, I now know more about our capital city and different cultures of the world. I had lots of practice with many native English speakers. More importantly, I have learned to help and understand different people and learned to be a more unselfish person. This will be the most precious memory in my life.
