26、   Standing at the top of the world, I cleared the ice from my oxygen mask（氧气面罩）， bent a shoulder forward against the wind, and stared absently down at the land of Tibet. Finally I had made it-the top of Mount Qomolangma.

I understood on some dim level（隐约地）that the earth down there was a grand sight. I’d been longing for this moment, and the excitement that would come with it. But now that I was finally here, actually standing on the top of Mount Qomolangma, I just couldn’t collect the energy to care.

It was early on the afternoon of May 10, 1996. I hadn’t slept for fifty-seven hours. My stomach was upset because the only food I’d been able to force down over the past three days was a bowl of soup. To make things worse, weeks of violent coughing had made ordinary breathing a bitter process. At 29,028 feet above the sea level, there was so little oxygen reaching my brain that I couldn’t think better than a slow child. Right now I could not feel much of anything except cold and tired. After taking four quick photos, I turned and headed down. I’d spent less than five minutes on the roof of the world.

Looking down the route we had climbed, I noticed something that until that moment had escaped my attention. To the south, where the sky had been perfectly clear just an hour earlier, a blanket of clouds now hid the lesser mountains surrounding. Nothing I saw early that day suggested that a violent storm was approaching. To my oxygen-exhausted mind, the clouds coming up the grand valley of ice appeared no different from the harmless clouds that rose from the valley almost every afternoon.

As I was climbing down, I began to get extremely anxious. However, my concern at that moment had little to do with the weather; I had almost run out of oxygen. I ought to have checked earlier. I needed to get down, fast.

【1】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.The top of the world. B.The land of Tibet.

C.A grand sight. D.Reaching the top.

【2】Why did the writer leave the top so quickly?

A.He was exhausted and weak. B.He had dropped his camera.

C.An unexpected violent storm arrived. D.He had fear of heights.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A.The grand sight made the writer scream.

B.The weather on Qomolangma was changeable.

C.The writer was energetic and strong-minded.

D.The writer was experienced and well-prepared.

28、   As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments. Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.

Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.

One of the processes growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

【1】The author had _______ kind(s) of fears when she was a child.

A.One B.two C.three D.none

【2】_______ would scare the author at night.

A.Streetlight and car lights B.Wild animals and enemies

C.Moving curtains and wind D.Clothes and walls

【3】When she went to some other places, she would _______.

A.walk away without others B.take a bus by herself

C.follow others closely D.make sure not to take a wrong bus

【4】Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child______.

A.She thought being popular among people was important.

B.She was always the leader of the others.

C.She always got poor grades.

D.She was not liked by others at all.

29、   Nzulezo in Jomoro district of western Ghana has coexisted with nature for many centuries. Here, all of life’s chores (家常杂务) from the preparation of meals to children going to school take place on water.

The first people in Nzulezo came from Mali in the 15th century. Many centuries after, people in Nzulezo still live in wooden buildings. Every family in modern Nzulezo has its own street, and every street is named after the head of that family. Every family member also owns a boat. It’s the only way of travelling there.

People in Nzulezo have kept their traditional way of living for many centuries, but they have introduced certain modern comforts such as clectricity, which means they no longer depend on kerosene (煤油) and lanterns to power up.

They also hope to build a 24-hour healthcare center. The locals have to travel five kilometers by boat to see a doctor.

Being on water also makes it hard to find teachers to teach Nzulezo children. Cudjoe, a teacher in Nzulezo, says that there aren’t enough payments to make teachers stay. Though there are glaring challenges, some of Cudjoe’s students have left Nzulezo for further education, including university, and they are thriving, he says. “I have a lady, she’s now a nurse, and I have a man who is now in university. Plenty of them are now in senior high outside the village. They are doing well.”

But while people in Nzulezo are open to satisfying some modern needs, they still feel strongly about keeping their traditional lifestyle. “Our life here is very comfortable for us. We cook here, we enjoy ourselves, we entertain ourselves, the children also. We prefer to stay,” says a local elder, John Arthur.

【1】What does Paragraph 2 focus on?

A.The rise and fall of Nzulezo. B.Nzulezo’s dependence on boats.

C.The origin of streets in Nzulezo. D.Nzulezo’s traditional way of living.

【2】What does the underlined word “thriving” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.Suffering. B.Succeeding.

C.Returning. D.Researching.

【3】Which would be the best title for the passage?

A.Village over the River Coming to Shore

B.Nzulezo Giving Way to Modern Comforts

C.Floating Village Balancing Traditions in Modern World

D.Nzulezo Drawing Attention to Traditional Floating Life

In Times of Crists, We Need Classical Music

  It’s still lying in front of me on my desk. The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(愤怒) , was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官) Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and 【1】 as it is now.”

  But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利尔交响乐团) ?

  A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) 【2】 role right now.

  We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary 【3】. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力) is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.

  But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) 【4】 to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to 【5】 ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.

  They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(绿洲) of well-being.” They are timeless compositions that 【6】 all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is why there is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to 【7】 people forward.

  Classic music 【8】 our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It 【9】 to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(认知) of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.

  【10】 to explain this powerful impact of music will always remain unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(审美的) experiences can transform people.

32、   下面短文，根据文章的情节续写，使之构成―个完整的故事。

Eric was working in a selling business. He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn't wait to get back to see his wife and children. It was coming up on Mother's Day, and he usually tried to make it “back home", but this year he was just too busy and too tired. The day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, "I know what I will do, I'll send my mother some roses ."

He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young man talking to the girl in it “How many roses can I get for fifty dollars. Ms.? " the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with something else.

"No. I have to have roses,' he said, "my mom was badly sick last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. 1 want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite." He was stubborn,

The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy's voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been blessed（幸运的）in his business, and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the boy's roses.

The girl looked at the young man and said, "OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.' The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran down the store. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.

Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother. After that, with a relief he drove down the road. Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a graveyard（墓地）.
