         I wasn't interested in becoming a model at first. I worked as a receptionist in a beauty shop during high school. It was in South Dakota. A woman who had worked for Vogue-a famous fashion magazine said to me, "Why don't you go to New York and be a model?"
         So I went to New York at eighteen. I went to the first model agency, they thought that I was too
    long-waisted. It was too bad since I came from South Dakota. I looked up in the telephone book. Hunting Hartford had just bought the agency. So I went there. I was in such a hurry that I couldn't give my name to the receptionist. About half an hour later, the man who had just taken over the agency-he had been a male model before-came in. I was just staring at this unfamiliar man when he said, "You! Come into my office!"
         How do you feel as a fashion model? Quite OK, I should say. But you stop thinking when you are
    working. It takes a lot of nervous energy as well because the camera goes one, two, three very fast and
    you have to move very fast. I like my job because it gives me freedom. I can have half a day off to do
    things I like. I can't do that if I do a normal job. I never like becoming a secretary. They have to sit in the
    office for eight hours a day, facing the same people.
         Most models, after one or two years, can't be still very interested in it. But I like being a model.
    Maybe I was a born one, as many people say.
    1. Who inspired the author's desire to become a model?
    A. A woman customer in the beauty shop.
    B. Hunting Hartford.
    C. The author herself.
    D. The author's father.
    2. Why didn't the author return to South Dakota when she was first refused?
    A. Because she had a strong desire to become a model.
    B. Because South Dakota is far away from New York.
    C. Because Hunting Hartford asked her not to go back.
    D. Because she liked to be a receptionist at a beauty shop.
    3. Which of the following is not true?
    A. Hunting Hartford had an experience as a model.
    B. Hunting Hartford thought the author might be a good model.
    C. Hunting Hartford had always been a model agent.
    D. Hunting Hartford accepted the author as a model.
    4. Why did the author like being a model?
    A. Because she liked the woman customer.
    B. Because she liked the freedom.
    C. Because she liked to have a regular work schedule.
    D. Because she liked Hunting Hartford.
    5. What can we learn from the passage?
    A. Perseverance leads to your success.
    B. Finding a job you like to do is important.
    C. Both A and B.
    D. Becoming a model is quite easy.

         In America, drivers' education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her
    second year of high school is required to take a class in driver's education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.
         The course is divided into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to
    practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a driver's
    license(驾照).
         Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel(steering wheel) and practice starting,
    steering(驾驶), backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers(操作)
    required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students and the
    instructor go out driving for two-hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time
    per outing. The instructor and "driver" sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.
         Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes(刹车), one on the driver's
    side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into
    difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a
    sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution
    (谨慎)because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to(易于…的)
    driving slowly.
         After the student has passed the driver's education course and reached the appropriate(适当的)age to drive(this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a
    designated(指定的)state office to take their driver's test, which is made up of an eye examination, a
    written test, and a road test. The person must pass all the three tests in order to be given a driver's license. If the person did well in his or her driver's education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors a
    nd get a driver's license.
    1. In America, the driver's course mentioned above is ________.
    A. considered as part of the advanced education
    B. given to anyone wanting to get a driver's license
    C. carried on at the same time as other courses
    D. required of all the students of Grade 2 in high schools
    2. To prevent accidents, a driver's ED car ________.
    A. has a sign inside it
    B. has two sets of brakes
    C. is big enough to hold five persons
    D. can't run very fast
    3. We can infer that the students are required to ________ in their whole driving practice.
    A. go out driving for twelve times
    B. spend at least six hours driving
    C. drive for two-hour blocks of time
    D. get half an hour driving
    4. Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their driver's license?
    A. They must be 16 years of age.
    B. They should go to have their driver's course.
    C. They must have their eyes examined.
    D.They ought to do well in their driver's course.
    5. In the last sentence, "with flying colors" means _________.
    A. happily
    B. successfully
    C. colorfully
    D. quickly

         Short and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football, tennis, cricket-anything with a round ball. I was useless," he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the
    object of jokes in school gym classes in England's rural Devonshire.
         It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest, then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his
    mind on building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first
    marathon.
         The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat
    across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's School of Adventure in
    Scotland, where he learned about the old man's cold-water exploits(成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all
    he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.
         Journeys to the Pole aren't the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his
    dream as fantasy. "John Ridgway was one of the few who didn't say 'You're completely crazy," Saunders
    says.
         In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the
    North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a close encounter with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.
         Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.
         This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 1,800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.
    1. The turning point in Saunders' life came when _________.
    A. he started to play ball games
    B. he got a mountain bike at age 15
    C. he ran his first marathon at age 18
    D. he started to receive Ridgeway's training
    2. We can learn from the text that Ridgway _________.
    A. dismissed Saunders' dream as fantasy
    B. built up his body together with Saunders
    C. hired Saunders for his cold-water experience
    D. won his first fame for his voyage across the Atlantic
    3. What do we know about Saunders?
    A. He once worked at a school in Scotland.
    B. He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.
    C. He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.
    D. He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.
    4. The underlined word "Intrigued" in the third paragraph probably means "_________".
    A. Excited
    B. Convinced
    C. Delighted
    D. Fascinated
    5. It can be inferred that Saunders' journey to the North Pole _________.
    A. was accompanied by his old playmates
    B. set a record in the North Pole expedition
    C. was supported by other Arctic explorers
    D. made him well-known in the 1960s

         Endangered languages are languages that wouldn't exist any longer, much like endangered species of
    plants or animals. Languages are considered to be endangered when parents are no longer teaching the
    language to their children and are not using it actively in everyday life. A language is considered to nearly
    disappear when it is spoken by only a few elderly native speakers.
         The world faces enormous challenges in order to protect different kinds of languages. Of the more than 6,912 languages, half may be in danger of disappearing in the next several decades.
         It is caused by many reasons: small numbers of speakers, the regular use of other languages, attitudes
    towards their languages, moving of the younger population, government policies, and languages used in
    education and so on. A language may lack important things such as a body of literature, and people who
    read and write it. A language may also lack prestige (声望) and support of its speakers.
         The survival of a language is also threatened when speakers move to other areas where different
    languages are spoken, or when government policies improve the use of a specific language in school,
    official business and the media. These situations encourage people to learn the wider-known language and may cause them, especially the young, to stop using their mother tongue. Often those speaking
    lesser-known languages will choose to learn a more prestigious language with the hope of greater
    economic opportunities. Most of the world's parents are teaching their children English, French, Spanish,
    Chinese, Arabic, Russian or some other main languages instead of their own languages for social and
    economic reasons.
    1. What's the main idea of this passage?
    A. Languages in the world.
    B. Reasons why languages become endangered.
    C. What an endangered language is.
    D. Languages spoken by few speakers.
    2. About _________ languages will probably disappear in this century according to the passage.
    A. more than 6,912
    B. more than 3,456
    C. 6,912
    D. less than 3,456
    3. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
    ①=Paragraph1②=Paragraph2③=Paragraph3④=Paragraph4

    4. We can infer that the best way to maintain an endangered language is to _________.
    A. forbid the speakers to move about
    B. pass laws to protect the language
    C. raise the salaries of the people who speak the language
    D. teach the language to young children and encourage people to speak it as much as possible
    5. All of the following about languages are true EXCEPT __________.
    A. many languages will be probably endangered in this century
    B. government policies have a big effect on languages
    C. the endangered language is a language that is spoken by few people
    D. languages are related to their speakers' social and economic position
