    B
    Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.
    His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia’s snow-capped Himalayas. At 26, 545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.
    “It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous, ” said Viesturs, “There’s no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches (雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain.”
    In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog’s tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog’s story was of a lot of difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.
    Viesturs got his start on Washington’s Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world’s highest peaks. Finally, he’s done.
    The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. “You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,” said Viesturs. “If we have the patience and the respect, and if we’re here at the right time, under the right circumstances (情况), they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down. ”
    What’s next for a man who can’t stop climbing? “I’m going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer. ” says Viesturs. But for a man who’s climbed the world’s 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.
    59. What record has Ed Viesturs set?
    A. He has succeeded in climbing to the top of the world’s 14th highest mountain.
    B. He has become the first American to climb to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.
    C. He has become the first to climb to the height of 26, 545 feet.
    D. He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.
    60. The underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “__________”.
    A. frightened               B. discouraged                 C. interested              D. upset
    61. The author used Viestures’ words in Paragraph 6 to support a view that __________.
    A. mountain climbing is a dangerous sport
    B. mountains should be regarded as living creatures
    C. mountain climbing needs more strength than skills
    D. those who like mountain climbing won’t stop climbing
    62. What’s the next probable plan of Viestures?
    A. Stopping climbing and staying with his family.
    B. Climbing to the top of the world’s 14 tallest mountains again.
    C. Meeting other challenges.
    D. Writing down the experiences about his adventure.

    If you are a mother and you have to give up your dream of receiving higher education due to the need to raise a family. Yet always keep that dream in the back of your mind while a tight schedule of lack of funding (资金)keeps you from pursuing it, then President Barack Obama may be able to help.

    B
    By now there were several people standing around me, my mom, and the little broken bush(灌木丛).
    “Son, would you like me to call an ambulance?” some men said.
    “No,” my mom yelled. “I’m fine. Please go away!”
    “She’s learning to ride,” I tried to explain to all those who were not going to go away.
    “Oh, all right!” My mom sat up and brushed the grass and leaves off her sweater. Finally she stood up. Everyone began to clap(鼓掌), and my mom’s face turned bright pink.
    “Thank you very much, but as you can see, I’m just fine.” Mom took a few steps around to show them that she wasn’t hiding a broken leg. Everyone clapped again and then went on their way.
    “Enough for today?” I asked hopefully.
    “No,” she said in a way that surprised me. “I almost had it, and then I let myself get scared. I know I can do it this time!” Now this sounded more like my mom, for I’d never known my mom to be afraid of anything before. I helped her pull the bike out of the bush and push it up the hill.
    She didn’t look quite so pale this time. She got on the bike again and went down the hill. I ran down the hill after her. She had ridden quite a way ahead of me when she looked back over her shoulder, smiling. Then she gave me a thumbs-up(翘拇指) sign.
    “No, no!” I yelled. “Use both hands!”
    But it was too late. Again.
    “Mom! Are you hurt?” I ran up to her in the grass.
    This time she was laughing. “Did you see me? I did it! I really did it!” Then she stopped and looked at me. “I mean,” she said, “we did it.”

    When I called for the contributions the next day，I discovered that almost everyone had forgotten，except for Willard P. Franklin．The boy dug deep into his pants pockets as he walked up to my desk．Carefully, he dropped two quarters into the small container.

    Dear Editor,
    I’m a Senior 1 student in a middle school. This term, my favourite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches us. I want to see her, but I’m afraid that she no longer likes me and I don’t want to trouble her. I really miss her. What should I do?
    Tian Yan  
    Dear Tian Yan,
    It’s bad luck that you have lost your favourite teacher. But, if she is still in your school, nothing can stop you going to see her. When she isn’t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her she was your favourite teacher. Everyone is happy to know they are liked!
    If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always come and go in our lives. We can’t rely on（依靠） them being with us all the time.
    You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best qualities.  
    You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new teacher a chance. In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.
    Finally, you can not completely rely on other people getting you through your studies, or even your life.
    Editor      
    35. Tian Yan ______.
    A. is a troublemaker     B. likes Miss Mao very much    
    C. is happy these days     D. doesn’t like to tell her secret to anyone

    C. Tell Miss Mao she likes her.      D. Keep quiet about the thing.
    37. The expression “in time” in this passage means “______”.
    A. over a period of time    B. on time        C. at the right time      D. a long time ago
    38. According to the passage, students can make progress in their studies ______.

    Mary went out at night. She never forgot the night when she met a robber many years ago.
    That evening, she was invited to a birthday party which lasted until two o’clock in the ?morning. Without company Mary walked along the quiet street.
    Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her. “Good evening, lady,” the man said in a low voice, “I don’t think you wish to die here.”
    “What do you want?” Mary asked.
    “Your earrings （耳环）.Take them off!” Slowly Mary’s eyes looked down. She tried to cover her necklace with the collar（领子）of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings, and then she quickly threw them on the ground.
    “Take them and let me go.” she said. The robber looked at her only feeling uncertain. He saw the girl didn’t care for the earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace. He realized the necklace would cost more. So he said, “Give me your necklace.”
    “Oh, sir. It’s not worth much. Please let me keep it.”
    “Stop rubbish. Quick!”
    With shaky hands, Mary took off her necklace. As soon as the robber disappeared, she picked up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to one of her friends.
    The earrings cost 480 pounds and the necklace the robber had taken away cost only six pounds ten shillings.
