　　“So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become certain.” Christopher Reeve

　　Recently, for the first time in 5 years I simply went out back, put my cane down, and started walking. I made it 42 yards.

　　Today I walked 5 miles.

　　My medical team had said this would be impossible. My brain could no longer send the signals for walking because those nerves in it had been destroyed. Though certainly unintentional, my doctors did take something very important away from me: hope.

　　A while back, a psychologist pal of mine urged me to try to help myself. I was angry. I said, “They’re four of Boston’s leading neurologists. They all said I’d never get any better.” “They could have all been wrong.” “They said there’s nothing I can do! No rehabilitation(复原). No physical therapy(治疗). I’m not putting any effort into trying to walk and then be miserable when I fail.” “Trying is never failure.”

　　What made me finally try? The answer is simpler than I’d have ever imagined. That day I tried walking on my own, I had simply said to myself, “Why not?”

　　When I walk I have a Frankenstein-style gait. I get embarrassed so I explain. I met a gal who said, “Stop excusing yourself. Walk proud!” She’s just one of the many who’ve taught me that if I open my heart to acceptance, the world is filled with support teams.

　　One morning my husband, Bob, said there was a huge present for me in our driveway. He had researched “bicycles for disabled people.” It was a 300 pound cycle for two. The seats were side by side. He could pedal while I sat by him and enjoyed the outdoors again.

　　Um... did I mention it came assembled with a set of pedals for me too?

　　Now, hundreds of miles later, after exhaustive hours of pedaling along beautiful bike trails, I only wish that we owned stock in Ben-Gay. 1. What’s the best title of this passage ?

　　A. Having a tour

　　B. Realizing an Impossible dream

　　C. Walking with a cane

　　D. Suffering from disability

　　2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ?

　　A. My doctor concluded that I can walk again.

　　B. My brain could no longer send signals.

　　C. They're four famous doctors in my medical team.

　　D. My medical team’s conclusion took my hope away.

　　3. The author didn’t want to try walking because_______.

　　A. his doctors said he couldn’t get any better

　　B. his friend’s words is unbelievable

　　C. he was miserable when he failed that time

　　D. trying is never failure

　　4. The bicycle Bob found can be _____.

　　A. a 150 pound cycle for one

　　B. a bicycle for disabled people

　　C. a huge present that he sent.

　　D. of the same size as a normal one.

　　这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者当被医生诊断不能走路后所作出的骑车旅行的活动，从而实现了看起来不能实现的事情。

　　1.B 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become certain可判断。

　　2.D 细节理解题，根据文中第四段my doctors did take something very important away from me: hope科判断医生的话使作者绝望。

　　3.A细节理解题。根据文中第五段they all said I'd never get any better可知作者相信医生的话，认为自己再不能走动了。

　　4.B 细节理解题。根据文中倒数第二段bicycles for disabled people可判断。

　　阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　Once upon a time, on his way to the Himalayas, was a saint(圣徒). He came across a shallow river he had to cross. Just when he was about to wet his feet, he saw a scorpion(蝎子)helplessly trying to come out of the river. It was almost touching the bank but not enough to gain hold of the ground. The saint saw scorpion’s struggle and decided to save it.

　　He picked up the scorpion in his right hand with the intention to place it on the dry surface. No sooner did he do that than the scorpion stung and rushed off the hand, landing in the water again. It struggled to come out of water again. The saint’s body was in pain but his mind, calm.

　　Seeing that the scorpion could lose its life, the saint used left hand this time to lift the scorpion out of water. However, it panicked and stung again. Once again, it sped off the hand and fell in water. He was left with both hands filled with pain. He was not the one to give up either.

　　He tried again. This time, he cupped his hands together and lifted the scorpion in one swift movement. Before it could react, he safely dropped it on the land. The scorpion disappeared into the pebbles that lay near the bank. He felt happy, for he succeeded in carrying out his rescue, for saving another life. It was worth the pain he thought.

　　At a distance, a man, surprised and shocked, had watched the whole process. He approached the saint and said, “Can I ask you a question please? ”

　　“Yes, you may. ”

　　“First of all, there was no need to save a scorpion. It does no good to anybody. Secondly, if you must save it, you could have simply tried once. I’m surprised that even after it stung you, you still went on. Why? ”

　　“Oh! That’s pretty simple, ”he replied softly rubbing his stung hands against each other. “This was a scorpion, a creature really low on the food chain, a creature whose nature is to sting(蜇), to panic, to harm. It is supposed to be weak. However, I am supposed to be a saint, a person whose job is to love everybody, to offer love. I am supposed to be the strong one, the one higher up on the food chain. With my principles, my philosophy(人生观)and practice, I am supposed to save other creatures. Right? ”

　　The man nodded.

　　【文章大意】一个圣徒从河里拯救一只蝎子时, 先后被蜇了两次, 但他仍旧努力把它救了出来。这让一位路人非常不理解。这位圣徒告诉他: 作为一个圣徒, 我的职责是向所有的生命传达爱, 拯救其他的生命是我最大的幸福。

　　1. When a saint saw a scorpion struggling to come out of the river, he　.

　　A. was in the shallow river

　　B. was climbing the Himalayas

　　C. was on the river bank

　　D. had just crossed the river

　　. Why did the scorpion sting and rush off his right hand?

　　A. Because it was full of panic at that time.

　　B. Because it wanted to get to the bank itself.

　　C. Because the saint harmed it badly.

　　D. Because the saint tried to kill it.

　　【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第三段中的However, it panicked and stung again. 可知, 当时是因为惊慌失措, 蝎子才对他进行攻击。故答案为A。

　　A. Happy.

　　B. Angry.

　　C. Frightened.

　　D. Puzzled.

　　【解析】选D。观点态度题。根据第七段内容: 首先, 拯救一只蝎子是没有必要的, 对谁来说这都是没有好处的。其次, 您救它一次就够了。令人惊讶的是, 即便它蜇了您, 您却仍旧努力去救它。这是为什么? 由此可判断出他对圣徒的行为感到迷惑不解。故答案为D。

　　阅读理解(2014·西安模拟)

　　If you’re a dog lover, you probably know about the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Held annually in New York City, the event attracts thousands of dogs and their handlers, each competing for the top prize, Best in Show. Westminster is so popular that some people call it a Canine(犬科)Super Bowl.

　　But did you know that lots of smaller—and very different—dog shows take place each year across the country? One of them was held recently in Jacksonville, Florida. It was the Pals and Paws Agility Trial.

　　About 100 dogs took part in the three-day event, held March 8—10 at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center. In a dog contest, dogs compete on an obstacle course. They run through tunnels, weave through poles and jump through hoops and over hurdles. Handlers direct the dogs through obstacles. Dogs are judged on how long it takes them to complete the obstacle course and how well they perform each of the challenges. Ribbons and titles are awarded as dogs complete different events.

　　Dog agility(灵活)is a popular sport, widely practiced around the world. Participants say it strengthens the bond between handler and dog while providing exercise for both.

　　Does your dog have what it takes to compete? Liz McGuire says preparation is key. “You can keep your dog in condition by exercising them and feeding them the right foods, ”she said. “The dog has to train, sort of like a football player. ”McGuire competes in agility trials with five Australian shepherds(牧羊人).

　　Suzanne Wesley’s gray poodle(狮子狗), Raya, was in top shape at the Jacksonville event: Raya won the Agility Dog Champion title. It is one of the competition’s highest awards. Other owners and dogs taking part in the trials included Terry Herman and her miniature poodle, Idgie, and Stuart Mah with his four-year-old border collie, Ares.

　　For dog owners like Hunter Moore, however, the Pals and Paws Agility Trial was pure entertainment. He has a pug named Bessie, but he doesn’t compete. What did Moore like most about the Jacksonville event? “Seeing everyone try their best, even the dogs! ”

　　【文章大意】这是一篇资讯报道, 介绍流行在美国佛罗里达州的Pals and Paws Agility Trial大赛的情况。

　　1. The first paragraph is mainly intended to　.

　　A. advertise the dogs

　　B. introduce the topic

　　C. entertain the readers

　　【由广东省广州市201阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。Stage fright or performance anxiety is the anxiety, or fear which may occur in an individual by the requirement to perform in front of an audience. It is most commonly seen in school situations, like stand-up projects and class speeches. It has numerous forms: heart beating fast, trembling hands and legs, sweaty hands, dry mouth etc.

　　In fact, most of the fear occurs before you step on stage. Once you’re up there, it usually goes away. Thus, it is a phenomenon that you must learn to control. Try to think of stage fright in a positive way. It heightens your energy, adds color to your cheeks. With these good side effects you will actually look healthier and more physically attractive.

　　Many of the top performers in the world get stage fright so you are in good company. Stage fright may come and go or decrease, but it usually does not disappear permanently. You must concentrate on getting the feeling out and present what you have prepared calmly.

　　Remember “Nobody” ever died from stage fright. But, according to surveys, many people would rather die than give a speech. If that applies to you, and you are an unlucky guy who is with stage fright the whole time, try out some of the strategies(策略) as follows to help get yourself under control. Realize that you may never overcome stage fright, but you can learn to control it, and use it to your advantage.

　　Strategies are as follows when the program begins:

　　1) If legs are trembling, lean on table or shift legs or move.

　　2) Don’t hold notes. The audience can see them shake. Use three-by-five cards instead.

　　3) Use eye contact. Look at the friendliest faces in the audience.

　　Remember nervousness doesn’t show one-tenth as much as it feels. Before each presentation, make a short list of the items you think will make you feel better. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations. You never know which ones will work best until you try. Use these steps to control stage fright so it doesn’t control you. Once you are used to stage fright, you will find you on the road to a great speech-maker.
