    本文是叙述Christopher Reeve以扮演与邪恶势力作斗争的超人而出名。在一次骑马运动中被摔伤致残，他坚强地战胜病魔的故事。
    1. C。根据上文和后面 victory 可得出答案，stand for 意思是“代表、象征”。
    2. D。他以前扮演与邪恶势力作斗争，“现在”跟自己的病魔作斗争。
    3. A。根据后面句子的动作和前面分词所表示的动作是同时发生的，因此答案选 when，其余不符语境。
    4. C。从下文的He cannot move a muscle …his shoulder level 可知他的“背部”摔伤了。
    5. B。因为肩以上没有多少肌肉，再根据前面的 paralyzed(瘫痪)和背部摔伤来判断是肩“以下”(below)的肌肉不能动弹。
    6. C。从病情的严重性和后面的 without help 可知不通过帮助连“呼吸”都困难。
    7. B。根据下文主句的意思，前面是表示转折关系，因此选however。
    8. A。根据前面让步状语判断，虽然他受伤非常严重，但是他的目标是尽可能地像“正常”(因为瘫痪，不是普通)人一样生活。
    9. D。从上文来看，因为他瘫痪了，他花了许多时间游遍全国，所以只能是“游说”(speaking)。
    10. C。根据上文叙述他残废了，再根据后面的 as he is 得出答案：像他那样情况(situation)的人。
    11. B。根据上文美国有215,000脊髓受伤的人，有90%幸存并能活到很大年龄，从每年花费90亿美元判断，使用这些钱是为患者“治”病的，即“关心，照料”这些人。
    12. A。根据后面的 to find a cure 得知花费500万美元是为了“研究”(research)发现治愈的方法。
    13. C。根据上下文判断，他是一位“意志坚强的”(determined)人。
    14. D。因为他是一位意志坚强的人，所以他不能接受“不能再走路”的事实。
    15. B。根据上下文 research 一词可以得出是科学家(scientists)。

    It is an exciting start to the college football season. A team that many people never heard of defeated one of the best in the country. If you follow American sports, then you know we are talking about the Michigan-Appalachian State game, which took place on September 1st at Michigan Stadium, in front of more than 100,000 people.
    Appalachian State University is in Boone, North Carolina. Its team often plays in a stadium that holds about 25,000 people. Also, Appalachian State plays in the Football Championship Subdivision. Michigan is in the newly named Football Bowl Subdivision, the top level of college football. So the Mountaineers of Appalachian State and the Wolverines of the University of Michigan normally do not even play each other.
    But they decided to meet for the first time. Michigan agreed to pay Appalachian State 400,000 dollars, win or lose. Teams like Michigan need victories, even a victory over a lower division team, to get into big, nationally broadcast bowl games. These games are worth millions of dollars at the end of the season.
    Fans expected an easy Michigan win. After all, in the preseason, sports experts had considered Michigan the fifth best college football team in the country. But Appalachian State is a two-time national champion at its own division level. Its players wanted to show they could play well against a nationally ranked team. And they did. The final score was Appalachian State thirty-four, Michigan thirty-two. The game quickly became known as one of the greatest upsets in college football history.
    The win has brought national attention to Appalachian State. Local stores reported a huge increase in orders for college clothing and other items. And the university official head expects more students to seek admission next year. Last Saturday, at home, Appalachian State defeated another North Carolina school, Lenoir-Rhyne College, forty-eight to seven.
    小题1:The Michigan-Appalachian State game ________.
    A．is a regular competition held in the US every year
    B．is a state competition held for the football championship
    C．is part of a national competition held on September 1st every year
    D．was an occasional football competition between two universities
    小题2:Michigan wanted to play with Appalachian State because Michigan ________.
    A．needed money to support its development
    B．wanted to test the skills of Appalachian State
    C．was a new football team without experience
    D．needed victories to enter nationally broadcast bowl games
    小题3:After the game, the Appalachian State University got _________.
    A．much economic support from the government
    B．much national assistance
    C．national recognition
    D．many applicants for admission

    My Forever Valentine我永远的“情人”
    Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly (天真的) thought   1  him as my “Valentine man”.
    My first recollection of the   2  he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was   3  “Love, Dad” and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to   4  my birthstone, a ruby (红宝石). There is   5  difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember   6  that ring with pride that all the cards in the world   7  not surpass (超越).
      8  I grew older, the gifts gave   9  to heart-shaped boxes filled with my   10__  chocolate and always included a   11  card signed “Love, Dad”. In those years my thank-you became   12  of a perfunctory (敷衍) response. The cards seemed less   13 , and I took for granted that the Valentine would   14  be there. I had   15  my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others” and “Love Dad” just didn’t seem quite   16 .
    His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a   17  of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a   18_       of love with simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.
    Those things never   19 , nor does the memory of a man who never   20  being my Valentine.

    One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that ,”and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong ,and you were right about that.” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago .He told me he had been the manager of a cartons (纸箱).Then he talk of an incident and I began to remember the incident he was describing.
    I was about eight years old at the time , and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.
    There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was a big show of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were put three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of them to admire the show. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the pile of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the cartons back together, so I went to work.
    The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees checking some of the cartons to if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as if I was the person who was to blame .He scolded me loudly and wanted me to pay for those broken eggs. My face turned red and I tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot the incident, but the manager did not.

    MOST recently, my world has been shaken by the death of a teacher at my school. He was Dr Allan Woolley and he was only 52. Suddenly he took his own life, which remains a mystery.
    That morning, everyone sensed that something wasn't right. During our lessons, an announcement was made that an assembly (集会) was scheduled for morning break, which was only done in emergencies.
    Once morning break came, the entire school gathered in the main hall. As our headmaster marched out to announce the "momentous (重大的) news", it felt like the air around us trembled . Many students broke down in tears, and the reaction afterward was intensely powerful and unifying .  
    The headmaster said that students were allowed to miss lessons and have a free period to collect themselves if they found the news too distressing (悲伤的). Many students went outside and shared memories of Dr Woolley to control theirselves.
    Dr Woolley taught me chemistry two years ago, but up until his death he still taught many of my close friends. Many of my friends were so shocked that they still couldn't believe the person that they had owed (欠) some homework to was now dead.
    It was heart-warming to spend time with teachers that morning and get to know more about them. Despite the time of sadness, I feel that every cloud has a silver lining. Although Dr Woolley's death is something nobody wanted to see, we must move on.
    小题1:What did the students feel at the news of his teacher’s death?
    A.unhappy   B shocked    C.surprised    D.silent
    小题2:What does the underlined word “collect” in Paragraph4 mean?
    A．bring something togetherB．calm down
    C．increase in amountD．get and keep
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．The real cause of Dr Woolley’s death is known to us.
    B．Many students didn’t prepare themselves for the bad news so that they felt very sad.
    C．It takes the whole school some time to recover from the dispressing news.
    D．Dr Woolley’s death allows students to understand teachers better.
