At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls. That’s especially impressive, she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t how far away things are. When she was little, her mom that even though she couldn’t see , she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the right away and gymnastics became her favorite. Though learning gymnastics has been more for her than for some of her tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her stop her from doing anything that she wants to. She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go.” says Lola. To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10---- her highest score yet. Lola doesn’t want to be differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her attitude. Lola never thinks about . She is presently at Level 7 while the highest is Level 10 in gymnastics. Her is to reach Level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids she grew up. Lola is of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her for others is “just believe yourself”. 1.A. runsB. teachesC. trainsD. dances 2.A. sinceB. unless C. afterD. though 3.A. tellB. guessC. assumeD. predict 4.A. suspectedB. remembered C. imagined D. noticed 5.A. deeplyB. wellC. aheadD. closely 6.A. taskB. sportC. event D. show 7.A. boringB. enjoyable C. different D. unsatisfactory 8.A. talentB. qualityC. nature D. condition 9.A. doubtB. advantage C. challengeD. program 10.A. examineB. expressC. openD. trust 11.A. fearfulB. harmful C. unfair D. inconvenient 12.A. toB. onC. offD. against 13.A. greetedB. treatedC. servedD. paid 14.A. painsB. stressesC. injuriesD. problems 15.A. positiveB. friendlyC. flexibleD. caution 16.A. defendingB. quittingC. winningD. bargaining 17.A. standardB. rangeC. viewD. goal 18.A. untilB. asC. whenD. before 19.A. proudB. tired C. ashamedD. confident 20.A. planB. advice C. rewardD. responsibility

Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s. the sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable. Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable. People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it. Today, we know that the little iron in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid. It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along. 1.A good title for this reading passage is______. A. Popeye the Sailor B. The Truth About Spinach C.A Mistake with Numbers D. Folic Acid Makes You Strong 2.Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor? A. People liked folic acid. B. They thought Popeye was funny. C. Spinach had a lot of iron. D. They thought spinach made them strong. 3.A research group told people that spinach______. A. made Popeye strong B. was a green vegetable C. had less iron than other green vegetables D. had more iron than other green vegetables 4.The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______. A. ironB. spinachC. folic acidD. exercise

You have some great ideas. But they don’t come out because of what your friends say or because you think that only a few people can be creative geniuses(天才). And, you, of course, think that you couldn’t be one of them. But actually, this is not true at all. Anyone who is a creative genius will tell you that creativity is very much like a muscle that needs to be developed. If you don’t learn how to develop creative thinking, this skill, just like a muscle, will become poor and useless. On the other hand, keep working at it, and this skill will soon be ready for action whenever you need it. So how do you develop your own personal style of creative thinking? You should realize that your brain has a greater capacity (容量) and a higher speed than the world’s biggest and fastest computer. So it’s important to get as much information as you can every day. Read, watch and listen to everything around you —good and bad. The more you know, the more you’ll want to know, and the more your brain will be exercised. Try something new every day and let your experiences show you more about the world and people around you. You need to step out of your comfort zone (舒适地带) more and more each day. Follow these suggestions, and begin thinking beyond your "limits" from today. You’ll soon have a life full of interesting and exciting adventures. Who knows, your idea might be the next great idea to change the world. 1.Most people can’t be creative geniuses because they _______. A. don’t have great ideas B. don’t want to develop their ideas C. are too shy to talk about their ideas D. don’t believe they can be 2.The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph means ________. A. creative thinking B. the muscle C. personal style D. great capacity 3.What do we learn from the passage? A. No computer can store as much information as human’s brain. B. It is not necessary to remember everything around you. C. Try something new, as long as you are comfortable with it. D. It is harder to exercise the brain than the muscles 4.The passage is intended to tell readers _________. A. how they can learn from creative geniuses B. about ways to develop their creative thinking C. about the importance of exercising the muscles D. the reasons why they can’t be creative geniuses

A few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house，the same house I grew up in，I had a sudden，scary realization．When my parents bought the house，in 1982，they were only two years older than I am now．I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later． It seemed ridiculous．On a practical level，there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon．More importantly，I wouldn’t want to．I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years，or what kind of job I’ll have．And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one place． So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents．When our parents were our age，they’d got their education，chosen a career，and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives． My friends and I--“Generation Y”--still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives．Whatever we end up doing，we want to make sure we’re happy doing it．We’d rather take risks first，try out different jobs，and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place．We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account． This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”(自大的), “impatient”, and “overprotected”．Some of these complaints have a point．As children, we were encouraged to succeed in school，but also to have fun．We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cell phones，the Internet，instant messaging，and video games． Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation. Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did. 1.When the author walked through her parents’ house，she _______. A．had no idea what she wanted from life B．realized I should buy a house C．started to think about her own life D．wondered why her parents had settled down early 2.What is the main “generation gap” between the author and her friends and their parents according to the article? A．Their attitude toward responsibility． B．Their ways of making their way to the top． C．Their ways of gaining experience． D．Their attitude towards high technology． 3.Which of the following might the author agree with? A．It’s better to take adult responsibility earlier． B. It’s all right to try more before settling down． C．It involves too much effort to rise vertically． D．It’s ridiculous to call her generation “arrogant”. 4.What is the main theme of the article? A．The sudden realization of growing up. B．Criticisms of the young generation. C．A comparison between lifestyles of generations. D．The factors that have changed the young generation.
