Dash of Hope

"Dash" is a symbol which represents every day we've spent alive on earth. Therefore, how youspend your "dash" is important.

Recently I 36 about a little girl named Hope. After learning more about her life, I couldn'thelp but feel it was not by 37 , nor happenstance（意外事件）, that she had been named "Hope". Thestrong feeling of sympathy and generosity 38 in her young heart made a lasting impression on meand countless others. 39 I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had.

Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was 40 a "wish" in early December 2010 by the"Make-A-Wish" Foundation after being 41 that she had a rare type of bone cancer.

She also asked that it be done 44 January 16, 2011. Unfortunately, however, theorganization informed her that her 45 request could not be granted as the funds weresimply 46 . They calculated that they would need to raise more than one 47 dollars in thirtydays in order to grant her wish. 48 , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into anenthusiasm that inspired caring 49 to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children,and eventually 50 as well. Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations51 the story of this caring young girl who had 52 the hearts of so many and as word spread,the community was challenged. Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and variousorganizations assisted in 53 money to help make Hope's dream come true.

Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only 54 , but spirituallyand emotionally as well. At the gathering to celebrate her life, "A Celebration of Hope" on January16, 2011 , the 55 was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than onemillion dollars. Her wish had been granted!

The English, as a race, are very different in many ways from all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, the Belgians and the Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities.

Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems restrained, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corner, and no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, if broken, makes the person immediately suspected.

In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc, often accompanied by appropriate gesture. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than anyone of a different nationality, but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. A more emotional man might describe her state “Oh, she is a goddess”, whereas an Englishman might just say “Oh, she’s all right.” An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoyable film recommends it to a friend by commenting, “It’s not bad you know”, or on seeing some very unusual scenery he might convey (表达) his pleasure by saying, “Nice, yes, very nice.” The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement. Instead, he must realize that “all right,” “not bad,” and “nice,” very often have the sense of “first-class,” “excellent,” “beautiful”. This unique style of language use is particularly common in England, and is known as restrained statement.

36．According to the passage, the English are different from other nationalities in_______.

A. habits B. attitudes C. character D. all of the above

37．The underlined word “restrained” in the second paragraph probably means “_______”.

A. calm and controlled B. polite and friendly

C. nervous and quiet D. silent and kind

38．In Britain, if you don’t want other people to think you are strange, you’d better _______.

A. talk with others as much as possible

B. behave just like the English do

C. say nothing about yourself

D. shake hands with everyone you meet

39．If an Englishman says “all right”, it may mean “_______”.

A. not bad B. correct C. quite right D. wonderful

40．From the passage, we can infer that an Englishman _______.

A. doesn’t like to show his feelings so much

B. has less emotion than people of other nationalities

C. finds it easy to express his emotion

D. likes to have a joke with strangers

I stood outside New York's Madison Square Garden and just stared, almost speechless. I was a farm boy from County Kilkenny, a child who some thought would never walk, let alone go as far as I had in the world.

From the day I was born, there was a problem. The doctors at the Dublin hospital told my parents I had phocomelia, a deformity that affected both legs below the knee, which were outward and shorter than normal and each foot had just three toes.

Life was tough. I couldn't stand, much less walk. I rarely, left the farmhouse---and then only in someone's arms. Mam bundled me up whenever she took me to town, no matter the season.

“The world will see him when he can walk,” she told Dad. “And he will walk.”

Mam devoted herself to helping me. She tried everything to get me on my feet. When I was three, she and Dad took me to a clinic in Dublin.

A few weeks later we returned to Dublin with my artificial limbs (肢). Back home I practiced walking with my new limbs.

“There's nothing anyone can do but you can't,” Mam said. “You and I are going to walk through town.”

The next day Mam dressed me in my finest clothes. She wore a summer dress and fixed her hair and makeup. Dad drove us to the church. We stepped out of the car. Mam took my hand. “Hold your head up high, now, Ronan,” she said.

We walked 300 meters to the post office. It was the farthest I'd walked, and I was sweating from the effort. Then we left the post office and continued down the street, Mam's eyes shining with a mother's pride.

That night, back on our farm, I lay exhausted on my bed. It meant nothing, though, compared to what I'd done on my walk.

Then I began to pursue my dream of singing. And at every step Mam's words came back to me—Ronan, you can do anything anyone else can do—and the faith she had in God, who would help me do it.

I've sung from the grandest stages in Europe, to music played by the world's finest musicians. That night, I stood at the Madison Square Garden, with Mam's words chiming in my ears. Then I began singing. I couldn't feel the pulse of the music in my feet, but I felt it deep in my heart, the same place where Mam's promise lived.

41．What was the problem with the author as a baby?

A. He was expected unable to walk.

B. He was born outward in character.

C. He had a problem with listening.

D. He was shorter than a normal baby.

42．The underlined word “deformity” in the second paragraph most probably means_______.

A. shortcoming B. disadvantage C. disability D. delay

43．Why did Mam dress him and herself in finest clothes?

A. To hide their depressed feeling.

B. To indicate it an unusual day.

C. To show off their clothes.

D. To celebrate his successful operation.

44．From the story we may conclude that his mother was _______.

A. determined B. stubborn C. generous D. distinguished

45．According to the writer, what mattered most in his success?

A. His consistent effort. B. His talent for music.

C. His countless failures. D. His mother's promise.

JK Rowling, the Harry Potter author, has signed a deal with Little, Brown and Company, to publish her first ever novel for adults, which is set to become one of the most anticipated (期望的) book in years.

The deal means that Rowling’s long-standing relationship with Bloomsbury, the London-based publisher that launched (发行) the Harry Potter books, has come to an end, at least in terms of new works by the author.

Rowling is keeping her fans guessing about the characters and plot of her new book.She only said that the new novel will be nothing like the Harry Potter series, which was soldover 30 million copies in the UK alone. She thought that with the move from children’s toadult fiction, a switch to a new publisher seemed like a natural and reasonable step.

She said,"Although I've enjoyed writing it every bit as much, this book will be verydifferent from the Harry Potter series. The freedom to explore a new field is a gift thatHarry’s success has brought me."

Ian Rankin, the Edinburgh-based author whose highly-successful detective novels arealso set in the city, suggested Rowling’s book will be a crime novel.

"Wouldn’t it be funny if JK Rowling’s first novel for adults turned out to be a crimestory set in Edinburgh?"he said.

Industry insiders guessed that the deal is worth more than ￡5 million and the newbook is expected to come out later this year.

A spokesman said,"JK Rowling’s audience is vast and her position is unique. HarryPotter books were a global success and her fans are very loyal. Children that were eight,nine, or ten when the books first came out in the 1990s are now in their 20s. Plenty of adults,loved the books regardless of whether they had children, so the potential market for her ishuge."

49．What does the text mainly tell us?

A. JK Rowling has signed a deal with a new publisher.

B. JK Rowling's new book will be more successful than her Harry Potter series.

C. JK Rowling’s first book for adults will be published later this year.

D. JK Rowling has to switch to a new publisher in order to publish her new book.

50．JK Rowling’s new book for adults.

A. has been sold 30 million copies in the UK alone

B. is poorly thought of by the London-based publisher Bloomsbury

C. has nothing in common with the Harry Potter series

D. is expected to bring her more money than the Harry Potter series

51．The author used Ian Rankin’s words in order to.

A. tell us that some famous novelists offer to give Rowling some advice

B. show that many readers are curious about Rowling’s new book

C. tell us that many readers prefer to read detective or crime novels

D. prove that a crime story set in Edinburgh is sure to be successful

52．We can learn from the text that.

A. Little, Brown and Company is specialized in publishing adult books

B. the author has no doubt about the success of Rowling’s new book

C. JK Rowling will be a crime novelist as good as Ian Rankin

D. it was in Edinburgh that Ian Rankin got to know JK Rowling

Ban Fur? Then Why Not Leather?

Much to the displeasure of some local businesses, the City Council in West Hollywood,California, voted without opposition last week to ban the sale of fur products. Should laws be involved in this issue? Is it unfair to ban sales of fur, but not sales of leather and hides (兽皮)?

Animals Do Not Have Rights

By Tibor R. Machan

My view is that animals do not have basic rights. It is a matter of ethics (伦理学) and not of the laws of human societies. If animals had such rights as human beings do, theywould have to be held responsible for killing fellow animals in the wild. That way ofthinking about animals makes a category mistake. Using animals, including their fur ororgans, to improve people's lives is acceptable.

A Small Step Against Cruelty

By Kate Carter

Both fur and leather are the skins of dead animals. Why should we think that thelovable furry ones deserve more of a life than the less pleasing ones? Some say leather is less cruel because it's a byproduct (副产品) of the meat industry. But this isn't really true. Some cheap leather may be a byproduct of the meat industry, but often it's the other way round. In South Africa, where there is a developing market for ostrich(鸵鸟)farms, the skins account for roughly 80 percent of the slaughtered (宰杀)birds' value, a mere 20 percent of which comes from the meat.

"Who" Are You Wearing?

By Marc Bekoff

West Hollywood's ban is a move in the right direction. However, we must work to banthe sales of leather and hides, too. Furs come from animals who are attacked to become clothing, while some leather and hides come from slaughterhouse(屠宰场) animals. We must remember that when people choose to wear fur, leather and hides, they are wearingformering conscious beings. So it's a matter of who they are wearing, not what they arewearing because these animals must be referred to as who and not what or that.

53．What is the passage mainly about?

A. West Hollywood's ban on fur products.

B. Differences between fur and leather sales.

C. The government's role in protecting animals.

D. The ecological imbalance in West Hollywood.

54．Tibor R. Machan seems to believe that.

A. laws should be passed to protect animals

B. humans are respornsible for killing animals

C. it is not reasonable to use animals to improve life

D. animals and humans aren't supposed to share equal rights

55．What is Kate Carter's opinion about wearing fur and wearing leather?

A. Both are decided by the meat industry.

B. There is little distinction (区别) between them.

C. Wearing fur is generally more acceptable.

D. Wearing leather is cheaper than wearing fur.

56．What is Marc Bekoff’s attitude towards sales of fur?

A. Sympathetic. B. Careless. C. Tolerant. D. Opposed.

58．

Dear teachers, my fellow friends,

It is a great honor for me to recommend Li Hua, monitor of our class, as the Touching Figure On Campus of 2011.With a loving character, Li Hua is such a kind and helpful person as we cannot praise too much. Whenever there is a trouble, his timely encouraging words always push us forward.

Yet what has impressed us most is his unconditional love to those unprivileged children. Knowing that some children had little access to reading materials, he started to donate books as early as junior high. Two years ago, he volunteered to teach English and painting in a small village during the summer vacation, which has inspired some other students to join in and thus helped open up a new world to those children as well.

Proud enough, we strongly support Li Hua as the Touching Figure of 2011, for his selfless love that touches our heart, his perseverance that inspires us to keep going forward and his action that suggests even the smallest efforts can make a big difference to those in need.

Thank you for listening.
