Twist was the name of an old champion racing horse. He was past thirty years old, but the heart of the true 36  still beat with the great spirit. However, I knew little about the   37  that the old horse’s spirit would have on my daughter.
My daughter Stacy had ever had a   38  experience with a runaway horse. She was just eight at the time, and a terrifying   39  accompanied the disaster. Although she broke no bones, her   40  , love for horses and the desire to learn to ride were   41 . No matter how my wife and I tried, we had no   42  in curing the damage caused that day. But when she was thirteen, a turning point came. One day as I saw Stacy look into the eye of the   43  fellow in the stall(牲口棚), I knew this was going to be the beginning of a   44  relationship.
Fortunately, Stacy’s accident had not weakened her love for   45  in general, and this small opening was all that Twist needed to create an unusual bond(纽带). In the following weeks, Stacy began to express daily   46 in coming to the stall with me. She   47  spent time with him, feeding, brushing and combing him, all the 48  talking to him about her life.
Then one day   49  I was readying one horse for a ride, I noticed the old guy’s   50 expression and desire to be included, too. So I asked Stacy if she wanted to take Twist out for a ride. In   51 , Stacy looked once again into the old man’s eye. That moment, their two spirits   52  and completed the bond that had been forming over a couple of months. Continuing to look deep into his eyes, Stacy didn’t   53  . She only nodded yes. Moments later, I saw them riding   54  together, Stacy winning renewed confidence and desire, and Twist winning his medal of a child’s 55 .

My husband and I were once in Nepal(尼泊尔)to see sunrise over the Himalayas.
One morning we awoke to total darkness at 5 o’clock.As we rushed through a town with cameras in hand,I noticed the calm,gentle way the Nepalese people greeted the morning.One man boiled a huge pot of milk tea,and other villagers gathered around his fire,cupping their hands around small glasses of the steaming sweet mixture.It was fascinating,but not to be left behind,we joined the stream of tourists moving quickly up to the lookout point.
The top was crowded when we arrived,but after 10 minutes of cold waiting,the assembled group gave up.“The cloud cover is too heavy,”one said.Then one by one they rushed down the hill to the next item on their sightseeing list.I was disappointed as well,but suddenly I noticed a small Nepalese boy absently playing with a stick and shooting quick glances at the clouds.He must know something we don’t,I thought.I decided to wait with him.
The boy and I didn’t have to wait long.Moments later,a tiny stream of golden light burned through one thick cloud,then another.Rose-colored fog warmed the backs of the clouds,and suddenly the morning sun stole a glance around the side of the mountain,mile above where I’d expected it to be.
Nothing I’d seen before prepared me for the moment the clouds withdrew with bowed heads,and the magnificent Himalayas were revealed before,around,and above me.I sat in astonishment,not breathing,not daring to look away,certain that God had placed me here at the backdoor of Earth to show me what Heaven really looks like.I certainly got the message.Never again will I rush a sunrise.I now know Nature will supply her fruits to me only when I am truly ready to receive them.

As an experienced photojournalist in Nashville, Tennessee, I was hired by USA Today newspaper to photograph a spinal bifida (脊柱畸形) corrective surgical procedure. It was to be performed on a twenty-one week old fetus（胎儿）in uterus（子宫）at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. At that time, in 1999, twenty-one weeks in uterus was the earliest that the surgical team would consider for surgery. The worst possible outcome would be that the surgery would cause premature delivery, and no child born earlier than twenty-three weeks had survived.
The tension could be felt in the operating room as the surgery began. A typical C-section cut was made to access the uterus, which was then lifted out and laid at the junction of the mother’s thighs（大腿）. The entire procedure would take place within the uterus, and no part of the child was to breach the surgical opening. During the procedure, the position of the fetus was adjusted by gently moving the outside of the uterus. The entire surgical procedure on the child was completed in one hour and thirteen minutes. When it was over, the surgical team breathed a sigh of relief, as did I.
As a doctor asked me what speed of film I was using, out of the corner of my eye I saw the uterus shake, but no one’s hands were near it. It was shaking from within. Suddenly, an entire arm thrust out of the opening, then pulled back until just a little hand was showing. The doctor reached over and lifted the hand, which reacted and squeezed the doctor’s finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shook the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. I took the picture! Wow! It happened so fast that the nurse standing next to me asked, “What happened?” “The child reached out,” I said. “Oh. They do that all the time,” she responded.
The surgical opening to the uterus was closed and the uterus was then put back into the mother and the C-section opening was closed.
It was ten days before I knew if the picture was even in focus(对焦). To ensure no digital manipulation(篡改) of images before they see them, USA Today requires that film be submitted unprocessed. When the photo editor finally phoned me he said, “It’s the most incredible picture I’ve ever seen.”
小题1:What may be the best title for the passage?

A．An Amazing Moment	B．A Pitiful Fetus
C．An Honorable Job as a Photographer	D．An Impressive Surgeon

小题2:In 1999, people believed that it was ________.

A．possible for a fetus 21 weeks born to survive

B．likely for a fetus born 21 weeks to become abnormal

C．right time for a fetus born 21 weeks to receive an operation

D．risky for a fetus 21 weeks in uterus to receive an operation

小题3:From the second paragraph, we can see that the surgery was ________.

A．challenging but successful	B．demanding and unsuccessful
C．simple and short	D．long-lasting and difficult

小题4:The underlined “It” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.

A．the uterus	B．the arm of the fetus
C．the picture	D．the head of the fetus

科目：高中英语 来源：不详 题型：阅读理解

When she was twelve, Maria made her first important decision about the course of her life. She decided that she wanted to continue her education. Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school, though some attended private Catholic "'finishing" schools. There they learned a little about music, art, needlework, and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested Maria or her mother. By this time, she had begun to take her studies more seriously. She read constantly and brought her books everywhere. One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study in the dark.
　　Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way. That meant attending the public high school, something that very few girls did. In Italy at the time, there were two types of high schools: the "classical" schools and the "technical" schools. In the classical schools, the students followed a very traditional program of studies, with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature, and Italian literature and history. The few girls who continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools.
　　Maria, however, wanted to attend a technical school. The technical schools were more modern than the classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages, mathematics, science, and accounting. Most people including Maria's father believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects. Furthermore, they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.
　　Maria did not care if it was proper or not. Math and science were the subjects that interested her most. But before she could sign up for the technical school, she had to win her father's approval. She finally did, with her mother's help, though for many years after, there was tension in the family. Maria's father continued to oppose her plans, while her mother helped her.
　　In 1883, at age thirteen, Maria entered the "Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti" in Rome. Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine. Though the courses included modern subjects, the teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way. Teachers were very demanding, discipline in the classroom was strict, and punishment was severe for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient.
小题1:In those days, most Italian girls________.

A．went to classical schools

B．went to "finishing" schools

C．did not go to high school

D．went to technical schools

小题2:Maria's father probably________.

A．had very modern views about women

B．had very traditional views about women

C．had no opinion about women

D．thought women could not learn Latin

小题3:High school teachers in Italy in those days were________.

A．very modern	B．very intelligent
C．quite scientific	D．quite strict

小题4:We can infer from this passage that________.

A．girls usually attended private primary schools

B．only girls attended classical schools

C．girls did not like going to school

D．Maria was a girl of strong will

Mr. Robinson had to travel somewhere on business and as he was in a hurry, he decided to go by air. He liked to sit beside a window when he was flying. So, when he got on to the plane, he looked for a window seat. He found all of them had already been taken except one. There was a soldier sitting in the seat beside this one and Mr. Robinson was happy that he had not taken the one by the window; but, anyhow, he at once went towards it.
