　　“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。

　　The 400 phone messages said it all. Veterans(老兵) wanted to talk, and Jeff Beers, a military history buff and the son of a retired Navy man, was ready to listen. Beers had volunteered for the Veterans History Project, a program at the Library of Congress dedicated to preserving the oral histories of American’s 19 million veterans. Local newspapers listed Beer’s number, and the response was tremendous. He’s videotaped 52 vets ever since.

　　“Most of them are shocked that anyone would be interested in their small story,” says Beers, 33, an assistant engineer for the city of Poway, Calif. “They ask, ‘Why now?’ But it has to be now, before it’s too late.” The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 1,847 veterans die each day.

　　Beers and the other volunteers are collecting the I-was-there detail. One of the most moving came from a World War II POW (prisoner of war): “He had to march 500 miles through the Black Forest in winter. They ate bark soup and slept at local farm.”

　　The WW II generation comprises(包含) most of the 700 histories gathered since the program began in 2001. But, says director Ellen Lovell, they want to hear from vets of every war. “I interviewed my brother-in-law, an army surgeon in Vietnam,” she says. “He said he shared things with me that he’s never told anyone.”

　　1. What do we know from the text about the veterans?

　　A. They live a very happy life after the war.

　　B. They often told their stories to others.

　　C. They were highly respected by people.

　　D. They are becoming fewer and fewer in numbers.

　　答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节推理题。由第二段最后一句话 “The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 1,847 veterans die each day.”可知，每天有1847位老兵死去，也就意味着老兵的数目越来越少，故D选项正确。

　　2. How did the veterans feel when they were interviewed?

　　A. Happy.

　　B. Sad.

　　C. Surprised.

　　D. Disappointed.

　　答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节题。由第二段首句 “Most of them are shocked that anyone would be interested in their small story,” 可知，老兵对于有人对他们的故事感兴趣感到非常吃惊，故答案为C。

　　3. What does the underlined word “it” (Paragraph 1) refer to?

　　A. Veterans wanted to talk.

　　B. Jeff Beers was ready to listen.

　　C. The veterans had many stories.

　　D. There were many phone messages.

　　答案解析：答案为A。本题为词义推断题。由第一段前面的内容 “The 400 phone messages said it all. Veterans wanted to talk, and Jeff Beers, a military history buff and the son of a retired Navy man, was ready to listen.”可知，“it”指代的是紧跟着它后面的内容“Veterans wanted to talk”，故答案为A。

　　4. What kind of stories is Jeff Beers most interested in?

　　A. Historical records of World War II.

　　B. Stories written by newspaper reporters.

　　C. Stories most talked about by public.

　　D. Personal experiences of people during different wars.

　　答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节推理题。由倒数第二段 “One of the most moving came from a World War II POW (prisoner of war): ‘He had to march 500 miles through the Black Forest in winter. They ate bark soup and slept at local farm.’”可知，Jeff Beers最感兴趣的是战争期间人们的个人经历，故答案为D。

　　（2016高考阅读理解）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。

　　One windy spring day，I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites.Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds dashing and dancing in the exciting atmosphere above the earth.As the strong winds gusted against the kites，a string kept them in check.

　　Instead of blowing away with the wind，they arose against it to achieve great heights.They shook and pulled，but the controlling string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow(牵引)，facing upward and against the wind.As the kites struggled and trembled against the string，they seemed to say，“Let me go！Let me go！I want to be free！” They flew beautifully even as they fought the forced restriction of the string.Finally，one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose.“Free at last，” it seemed to say.“Free to fly with the wind.”

　　Yet freedom from control simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic gentle wind.It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a twisted mass of weeds and string against a dead bush.“Free at last”．Free to lie powerless in the dirt，to be blown helplessly along the ground，and to settle down lifeless against the first roadblock.

　　How much like kites we sometimes are.There always exist misfortunes and restrictions，rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength.Prohibition is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition.Some of us pulled at the rules so hard that we never fly fast to reach the heights we might have obtained.If we keep all the commandment(戒律)，we will never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.

　　Let us each rise to the great heights，recognizing that some of the prohibitions are actually the steady force that helps us climb and achieve.
