    A    
    12-year-old John Thomas Robertson is a born train fan. “I’ve liked trains probably from the day I was born,” he told Good Morning America. “When I was very little,” he said, “my grandpa got me a train model. I would just watch it go round for hours and hours.”
    When Robertson finally had the opportunity to ride on a train, he felt great. His journey was so mind-blowing that he couldn’t keep it to himself: he decided to take all his classmates to go on a ride with him. When he found that some of his classmates couldn’t pay the fares, he spent money he had saved by collecting cans (罐子) and bottles and raised more than ＄1,000 for them.
    That train was such a happy one that he made it yearly action. “It never gets boring for some reason; it’s just very fun,” he said. “It really lets people get away from their busy life and have fun.”
    Every October, Robertson takes a new group of disabled children to ride the train — but now, he has a problem. Several disabled children were refused because the train was not accessible (可用的) to disabled people. “He was angry to think that children of his own age couldn’t ride a train,” his mother said.
    But he wouldn’t say no: he recently sent a letter to the train office for help. To his surprise, the leader, Ty Pennington, took the letter seriously. He said that he and his workers would work on making a train accessible to disabled people.
    41. The first time John Thomas Robertson took a train, he_______
    A. felt extremely happy.           B. was frightened by it.
    C. watched it for hours.            D. acted as a driver.
    42. John Thomas Robertson is a born train fan, because he _______.
    A. was taken on a train the day he was born.
    B. his grandpa once worked on the train.
    C. took a group of disabled children on board a train.
    D. was greatly attracted to trains since early childhood.
    43. The underlined word “mind-blowing” can be replaced by “_______”.
    A. exciting       B. frightening       C. surprising    D. disappointing
    44. The disabled children were refused to get on the train because _______.
    A. they couldn’t afford the train tickets
    B. Robertson had not saved enough money for tickets
    C. the train didn’t have special services for them
    D. the workers there would not allow them to do so
    45. According to the passage, we can see that Robertson is a(n) _______ child.
    A. honest and crazy     B. kind and helpful
    C. clever but boring     D. lazy but kind

    Frederick Law Olmsted （1822 - 1903）, a Connecticut farm boy, saw his first public park in Liverpool, England, as he accompanied his brother on a walking tour. He was impressed by the park’s winding paths, open fields, lakes and bridges. Perhaps the most wonderful things of all was that the park was open to everyone.
    A moment beginning in 1840 to set aside park land on New York City’s Manhattan Island has successful result in 1856 with the purchase of 840 acres of rocky and swampy （沼泽） land, bought with about $ 5 million in state funds. Olmsted’s chance meeting with a project organizer led to his applying for the job of park manager. In 1857 Olmsted was appointed manager of the proposed park, and the clearing of the site began.
    Calvert Vaux, a British architect, asked Olmsted to collaborate with him on a park design, and Olmsted agreed. Vaux saw the park as a work of art, while Olmsted saw the park as a place for people to escape the noise of the city. Together they invented a plan that would give the persons and animals living in the city a quiet, green park and would also preserve and increase the good qualities of the natural features of the land. The commissioners voted in favor of Vaux and Olmsted’s plan, and in 1858, the two became the official designers of New York City’s Central Park.
    It took millions of cartloads of topsoil to build Central park’s gentle slopes, shady glens, and steep, rocky ravines. Five million trees were planted, a water – supply system was laid, and bridges, arches, roads and paths were constructed. The park officially opened in 1876, and today, well over a century later, people still escape the noise of the city in Olmsted and Vaux’s great work of art.
    53．What is the text mainly about?
    A．A history of the planning of Central park.
    B．An engineering plan for Central Park.
    C．A biography of Frederick Law Olmsted.
    D．A guided walking tour of Central park.
    54．Olmsted became manager of Central Park because of         .
    A．his friendship with Calvert Vaux
    B．his hard work in clearing the land
    C．his winning a design competition
    D．a chance meeting with one of the park’s organizers
    55．The underlined word “collaborate” in the third paragraph means         .
    A．disagree    B．comment   C．vote   D．work together
    56．Which of the following is true about Central Park?
    A．It is out of date nowadays.       
    B．The designers came from the same country.
    C．It is an old park in America.      
    D．It is only for people who can well afford it.

    D
    Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets(彗星)which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
    However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse(椭圆形).
    Now Halley set to work. He figured out(解决，计算出)the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearance had been 75 to 76 years apart.
    This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.
    It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain to make a prediction(预言)of what would happen in the future. He decided that this would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley’s prediction could be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet had been called Halley’s comet, in his honor.
    63. Edmund Halley figured out the orbit of ____.
    A. some different comets appearing several times
    B. the same comet appearing at different times
    C. three different comets appearing at the same time
    D. several comets appearing at the same time
    64. Halley made his discovery ____.
    A. by doing experiments
    B. by means of his own careful observation
    C. by using the working of other scientists
    D. by chance
    65. Halley made a surprising, but correct prediction in the year____.
    A. 1704          B. 1705     C. 1706           D. 1707
    66. This passage in general is about ____.
    A. Halley and other scientists        B. the orbit of a comet
    C. Newton and Halley             D. Halley and his discovery

    Select the best heading from the list below for each paragraph in the reading passage. Use each letter ONCE only. Write the appropriate letters A~E, in the spaces numbered 61-65 on your answer sheet. (NB  There are more heading than paragraphs, so you will not use all of the headings.)
    Intellectual Disability
    61.______   People with intellectual disability form one of the largest single disability groups in a community. Intellectual disability refers to a general slowness to learn and function within society, and the identification of intellectual disability is usually based on an assessment of a person's performance in a variety of tests. An individual's level of performance, as assessed, can change with time and circumstances. With skilled training and opportunity for development, people with intellectual disability have much greater potential for acquiring skills and for participation in community life than previously had been thought possible.
    62.______   In many western societies, five categories of intellectual disability have traditionally been used in order to indicate the perceived degree of difficulty an individual has with learning. All five may occur in either children, adolescent or adult, and show as mild, moderate, severe, profound or multiple intellectual disability.
    63.______   For the majority of intellectual disabilities, there is no identifiable cause but there are some causes that are well documented. They include: brain damage at birth due to lack of oxygen--- prolonged labor during childbirth; brain damage before birth due to factors such as rubella, drug or diet-related problems; damage after birth due to illnesses such as encephalitis or accident; hereditary defects in the genes; abnormal chromosome count resulting in, for example, Down Syndrome.
    64.______   Like everyone else, people with an intellectual disability need a rewarding job, a satisfying place to live and a good social life. But they may need extra support to achieve these things. Good support services are based on the principle of normalization---which means enabling people to be part of the community like everyone else.
    65.______   With the introduction of the intellectually disabled into communities, there is a need to promote awareness of communication. Although many people may have little experience in talking with an intellectually disabled person, there are common guidelines that can simplify the interaction. Firstly, it is useful to remember that people with disabilities have feelings .Speaking in the same friendly manner as you would to anyone else is also recommended. Being prepared to wait a little longer for replies during a conversation with an intellectually disabled person would undoubtedly benefit the exchange.
    List of Headings
    A． What do people with an intellectual disability need?
    B． What is intellectual disability?
    C． How do people with an intellectual disability talk?
    D． What are the forms of intellectual disability?
    E.  What causes intellectual disability?
    F.  How do you talk to a person with an intellectual disability?

My mommy is my best friend and we are angels for each other. She always thinks of others first. I think she should be the Angel Among Us winner. Please pick my mommy.

Mom is a really good-hearted person with a beautiful spirit that always shines through even during my darkest days. She definitely earns her angel wings.

He picks me up because I am still really too short to pick something up.
    F. From Sharon Williams, Uniontown
    I met my special angel 32 years ago starting my first job. She trained me as a friend. She introduced me to one of her sons to whom I’ve been married for 20 years. She lovingly raised seven children, and after retiring helped to raise a grandchild who is now in college. Living next door she was always there to help with our two sons, babysitting, fixing them snacks, or teaching them how to make peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

    (C)
    When I decided to apply for a summer job, I was a freshman. After several attempts（尝试）, I got an interview with Dave Hensley, a manager in the games department at Cedar Point Amusement Park. I was a very shy and quiet boy, but I put aside my shy nature for the interview, and was as outgoing（外向的） as I knew how to be. Apparently（明显地）it worked. I was informed (通知) to go to the park the next day. However, when I arrived, Dave told me he was assigning (分派) me to be a guesser. That position required standing all alone, speaking to thousands of people over a microphone. I never dreamed Dave would assign me to that position.
    Dave must have sensed my fear as he said, “Don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll do fine.” Then he took me to the Guessing Game location in an area of the park. Along the way, Dave talked to me, trying to improve my confidence. He told me to just relax and be myself, and then the microphone was put into my hand.
    My mind was disorderly, but I knew I wanted to work at Cedar Point, and that desire meant I had to make it. After thirty minutes, Dave took the microphone and gave it to another guesser. He turned to me and said, “Well, at least you’re not afraid of the microphone!” Thanks to Dave’s trust and encouragement, I went on to become a very successful guesser. His support in helping me overcome that fear improved my life in more ways than Dave could ever imagine. In that same spirit, I successfully completed my Master’s degree in electrical engineering which I had once wanted to give up.
    64. In order to get the job, the author _______.
    A. had to have several interviews with Dave Hensley
    B. often went to the amusement park at Cedar Point
    C. let the manager know he was a very shy and quiet person
    D. made the manager believe he was good at dealing with strangers
    65. Right after the author heard that his position was a guesser, he was ____.
    A. excited       B. afraid     C. happy       D. regretful
    66. After reading the whole passage, we can infer that the author _______.
    A. didn’t do well in electrical engineering at first
    B. wanted to be a guesser all his life
    C. could learn new things very quickly
    D. wanted to be a person like Dave Hensley
    67. By writing about his own experience, the author wants to tell us _______.
    A. how to be a successful guesser as a freshman
    B. how to be a popular person in a company
    C. the importance of trust（信任）and encouragement
    D. the importance of having a good manager
