      I had never noticed her. She was not the kind of girl who could draw attention. She  was not tall   1   looked ordinary. In class, she liked sitting at the back, reading or writing notes. One day I asked her   2   aloud the text. When I heard her standard （标准）American English, I looked at her with new eyes. And I remembered her  name—Kelly. Later on, the National College Speech Competition would be held. One student in our school   3   to attend. I thought it over and filled in her name. Kelly practised   4   for the competition. However, I was a little worried   5 she was always too quiet. Could she really   6    well in the competition?
     7    the night of the competition, I sat in the front row of the hall very early. I  told her to take it easy. Her face turned red and she said nothing.   8     seemed that she was really nervous. I felt upset, but I just patted her on   9      shoulder and let her go to draw lots （抽签） . As a result, she drew No. 9 while No. 8 was a boy who was very good at giving speeches.
   Sure enough, No. 8 was very   10   . The whole audience made a warm applause.
While they   11    about his speech with excitement, Kelly appeared on the stage. I with no courage to look at her. It was her   12    time to go up the stage, so I couldn’t be angry with her for any small mistakes. But at that moment, I found    13    I was so afraid of her failure（失败）.
    The strong spotlight and large hall made   14    so small that nobody seemed to notice she had been on the stage. I felt hopeless.
   But the moment that surprised me came. I clearly heard a voice, a very loud voice, “Now, please focus on me.”
    Three times in all, louder and louder.
   The whole audience fell silent.
   I could hardly believe that loud voice came from the girl, who was usually soft-voiced and didn’t catch attention at all. She gave a perfect speech.
    I think I will never forget this touching lesson   15    my student taught me — never underestimate（低估）the power of the silent people.

 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从 16～25 各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
      A game of catch is simply two people throwing a ball back and forth（来回地）. It seems a little  16   and many people may not be interested in it. The two people are close enough to talk, but too far to touch. They might have baseball gloves, or they  might use their hands.
       In fact, playing catch is part of   17     practice—to make you get used to using a ball and glove. But anyAmerican kid will teach you it’s much more than that. Playing catch is a time for kids to   18    with your father. It’s a time when there’s     19     to worry about except catching a ball. It’s a time when words move asseamlessly（准确不误地） as the ball itself, back and forth, easy and relaxing. It’s an excuse to    20    timetogether.
 
       Because baseball is an American sport, and a big part of being American, playing catch is kind of an all-American dad activity. In the suburbs（郊区）, most people have backyards — not   21    enough to play baseball in, but just big enough for a game of  catch. Those who have no   22   can play in the street or in the park.
       When adults are asked to talk about the good   23   of their dads, many of them will say something about playing catch. Why? Probably because dads are usually very      24      . A catch game is a time that is only for one thing. This is a time when a kid has her dad's    25    . There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you. For the time that it takes to play a game of catch, your dad is all yours.
16. A. interesting      B. boring               C. amazing                D. exciting
17. A.basketball         B.baseball               C.football                 D. volleyball
18. A.fight              B.compare             C.have                              D. be
19. A. nothing        B. something           C. everything                D. anything 
20. A. waste           B. save                   C. spend                          D. forget
21. A. small           B. large                 C. clean                        D. tidy
22. A. time              B. money                 C. yards                     D. friends
23. A. jobs            B. achievement       C. education                 D. memories
24. A. busy             B. brave               C.strict                        D. kind
25. A. help              B. worry                 C. courage                      D. attention

 （A）
     Feeding a crowd of hundreds doesn’t make Kenny Seals-Nutt nervous.
     In fact, he does well and successfully in the kitchen. He’s in his perfect place when  dicing tomatoes, making salads and baking cakes.
    By the time Kenny, 16, reached his third year of high school at Hickory Grove,
 North Carolina, US, he had become president of his school’s cooking club. He also  opened his own food company, called Modern Fusion.   
    Kenny said he developed his love of cooking by watching his mother, and his grandmother, who owned a catering business（饮食业）. Kenny helped them both in order to remember their tips: how long to cook chicken so it stays wet, and the right amount of tomatoes to add to the noodles or fishes.
       At the age of 5, he cooked his first dish. Taking it for his school lunch, he warmed  it up in the school’s microwave, while the other kids ate their sandwiches.
    “I love to eat, and it started to become more fun to cook than to use a microwave,”  he said.  
    Cooking came easy to Kenny, and he enjoyed adding new ingredients （作料）  into
common dishes. “It started with a strong interest and I wanted to know more,” he said.
He began to watch the Food Network and read chef（大厨）blogs.
    Last summer, Kenny put his skills to the test by working with his grandmother to cater（备办食物）for his uncle’s wedding. While she cooked traditional dishes, Kenny  wanted to add something new to them.
     Now Kenny spends his weekends catering his own events: weddings, birthday  parties, baby showers and so on. Kenny’s dishes are always a hit.
    Chef Frederick Mookie Hicks, owner of a catering business, said Kenny’s success comes from his ability in the kitchen. Hicks said he has asked Kenny to cook with him on jobs three times now, and he presents Kenny as a positive example of a good chef to  the students in his cooking classes.
       “He’s so smart at cooking that he doesn’t let anything stop him,” Hicks said. “I
 knew in the first five minutes of working with the kid that he is something special.”

 The following are some tips for becoming a successful businessman by Michael Bloomberg. They are based on his experience of building a company from the ground  up, leading New York City as mayor（市长）, and so on.
  Take Risks
   Life is too short to spend your time avoiding failure.
    In 1981, at the age of 39, I lost my job. The next day I took a big risk and began my own company. In 2001, when I was debating whether to run for mayor, most people advised me not to do it. But one person said, “If you can imagine yourself giving a concession（败选）speech, then why not go for it?” That was the best advice I received, and I followed it.
    In order to succeed, you must first be willing to fail— and you must have the  courage to go for it anyway.
 Make your own luck
   Luck plays a part in success. The harder you work, the luckier you get. 
   Whatever you choose to do, even if it’s not the job of your dreams, always work hard at it. Be the first person at work in the morning and the last to leave at night. Hard work creates chances.
 Never stop learning 
   The most powerful word in English language is “why”. There is nothing so powerful
as an open, inquiring mind（探究精神）. Whatever field you choose for starting a business — be a lifelong student. 
 Give back
   You are responsible for your success and failure, but you only succeed if you share the reward with others.
   My first donation was a $ 5 check to my alma mater （母校） . And while the checks（支票）may be bigger today, they come with the same spirit.
   You don’t have to be wealthy to give back. You can give back by giving your time  and talents.
36. In this passage, Michael Bloomberg is the name of a          .
 A. newspaper        B. place       C. company       D. person
 37. What did the writer do at the age of 59?
 A. Lost his job.                           B. Ran for mayor.
C. Built a company.                     D. Became a teacher.
 38. From the passage, we can infer that the writer          .
A. is a young mayor                    B. seldom cares about others
C. is lucky all the time                 D. is a hard-working man
39. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the tips?
A. Failure is the mother of success.             B. It’s never too old to learn.
C. Money is everything.                              D. Luck comes from hard work.
 40. In which of the following columns（栏目）can you find the article?
 A. Family Life         B. Interesting Stories        C. Experience Sharing       D. Adventures
 
                                                                              （D）
    Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember  the number of your credit card when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
     The eye-recognition（眼睛识别）program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.
    Eye-recognition is a course of recognizing iris（虹膜）, which includes the following steps. First, a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one’s iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to take out money, this machine will have iris feature extraction（采集）. Then, this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction. Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same, this person will be identified, and he will take out the money from the bank successfully.
     However, scientists are also working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.
     Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, and don’t get dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. So the eye-recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programs may only be 51% correct now. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of
eye-recognition.
     In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye. So smile! 
41. The program has been tested in shops and banks in          .
 
A. America and China                     B. Spain and Japan
 
C. Britain and Turkey             D. Italy and German
42. According to the steps in Paragraph 3, which picture shows how the eye recognition happens?
     
43. According to Paragraph 4, for now, machines can identify people by       .
A. fingers and smell                               B. face and voice 
 C. voice and finger                              D. hand and face
44. What does Paragraph 4 also talk about?
A. Other kinds of systems to identify people.
B. Some special things of other programmes.
C. The places where other programmes are tested.
D. Some old machines used to identify people.
 45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. All the eye-recognition programs can be up to 94% correct.
B. In Britain, 91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye recognition.
C. Everyone’s eyes are different, even twins have different eyes.
D. Some other programs used to be 51% correct.

     Mostly it’s damming（筑坝）and global warming that make rivers dry.    (49)    Now about 45, 000 of them lie across the world’s rivers. They hold back around 15% of the world's fresh water from running to the sea.
    (50)    Warmer weather takes water away. The glacier（冰川）are becoming smaller. The source of the Yellow River is drying up because of it. Global warming has had certain effects on water sources. Droughts （干旱） happening around the world make people pay more attention to this fact.
