ADavid Beckham was born in 1975 in London, at a place called Leytonstone. When he was a young boy, his greatest passion was in football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award. This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led him to go for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy he played for schools of Essex and also for his county team.In 1991, he became a trainee with Manchester United. This meant that he could practice football as much as he wanted to and play for the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cup team and Under-21 team. In April, 1995 he played his first football league game against Leeds Untied. During 1995 and 1996, David became a regular member of the team and Manchester United won in both football seasons, with David scoring many goals.His goals made him a household name. In the first game of the 1996-1997 season, he scored a surprising goal from beyond the halfway line; seeing the goalkeeper a little way out of his goal, Beckham became famous overnight. He continued to score astonishing goals, especially from free-kicks. The speed of one of his shots was timed at 157 kph. He also had the ability to make the ball go from left to right, or right to left, whenever he chose. Goalkeepers were never sure where the ball was going, and it regularly ended up in the goal.21.Which word can take the place of the underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 1?A. successB. interestC. prizeD. skill22.The unusually surprising way that he scored goals .A. helped him to gain many prizes for EssexB. kept him playing for Leeds UnitedC. offered him the chance to join the national teamD. made him popular and famous23.Which of the following shows the right order of what Beckham experienced?a. Beckham played his first football league gameb. Beckham won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills awardc. Beckham played for Manchester United Youth Cup teamd. Beckham went to Spain to join a football training campe. Beckham played for the schools of EssexA. e, d, a, c, bB. b, e, d, a, cC. e, b, a, d,c D. b, d, e, c, a24.The passage mainly talks about .A. how Beckham became a successful football playerB. what abilities Beckham had to score so many goalsC. when Beckham became famous all over BritainD. why Beckham could win in football league gamesBIf you ever visit an English village, make sure to look out for morris dancing. Undoubtedly one of the strangest traditions of English culture, morris dancing is a form of folk dancing that dates back to the 15th century. If you ever get the opportunely, you really have to see it.Men and women wearing old-fashioned, shabby clothing dance in the streets of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods. Women wear long, frilly(有褶皱边的) skirts and men wear short trousers with bells attached to them. They dance to traditional folk music which is often played on traditional musical instruments.Some groups carry heavy black sticks which they beat against each other while they dance. Other groups wave handkerchiefs in the air while they perform. The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when it’s over, the dancers and audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer. The celebrations will often continue long into the night, by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again.Morris dancing is a great English tradition but it’s facing a big crisis. As the years go by, fewer and fewer young people are joining morris dancing groups.The dancers are getting older and older and eventually, if nothing is done to change this trends, the tradition will die out within the next few decades.If you’ve ever had the fortune to see morris dancing, you may understand why teenagers aren’t rushing to sign up. Putting it to the point, it’s not exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-old to be doing. Why dress up in bells and funny costumes when you could be going clubbing? Or playing sport? Or doing anything else?However, it would be a great shame to lose such a fun and lively part of England’s history and culture. It’s important to look after some traditions and customs especially when it’s something as harmless and happy as morris dancing. So here’s a toast to the next generation of would-be morris dancers! Let’s hope they don’t leave it too late.25.What is the passage mainly about?A. The origins of morris dancingB. The popularity of morris dancingC. The protection of morris dancingD. The introduction of morris dancing26.What to we know about morris dancers?A. They dance in pubs late into the nightB. They sing folk music while they danceC. They wear long dresses with bells attachedD. They perform with sticks or handkerchiefs27.What is the present situation of morris dancing?A. It is losing appeal among young peopleB. It is keeping pace with people’s demandC. It is witnessing great changes in historyD. It is being criticized by modern people28.What does the author think about morris dancing?A. It help stay healthyB. It is fun for teenagersC. It deserves mole attentionD. It is too old-fashionedCDogs Don’t Tell Jokes-By Louis Sachar Winners Never Quit-By Mia HammTwelve-year-old Gary Booneknows he was born to be acomedian.

Due to being laughed at by his classmates, Gary Boone thought winning the school talent show would be his dream of proving himself to be a real comedian, but on the big night his dream went wrong with funny results.Mia Hamm, American soccer champion, tells a true-to-life inspiring storyof learning that winning and losing aren't as important as being part of a team. More than anyone, soccer superstar Mia Hamm knows the value of teamwork. She shares this lesson, paired with energetic pictures by Carol Thompson, and this story is perfect for soccer kids and their soccer moms.Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage-By Alfred Lansing The astonishing adventure of polar explorer ErnestShackleton's survival for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctic seas, as Time t magazine put it, "defined heroism". To write the authoritative story, Lansing consulted with ten of the surviving members and gained access to diaries and personal accounts by eight others. The book has a first-hand account, expanded with maps and illustrations especiallyfor this edition.The Alchemist-By Paulo CoelhoThe Alchemist, by PauloCoelho, continues to changethe lives of its readers forever. It tells the magical story of Santiago, an Andulusian shepherd-boy(牧童) who desires to travel in search of treasure.

ANo matter where you live or how you define yourself, these are some of the best activities to get in touch with nature.HikingOne of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old hike. Hiking generally doesn’t require any special equip ment or special skills; just a good pair of boots, a map, and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it. Suggestion: consider doing a little advance research on or Every .Backcountry CampingWhy limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend (or longer) adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping bag, food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If you’re an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wildness. Many parks require backpackers to obtain permits, so make sure toregister and map your route before stepping on the trail.Mountain and Road BikingUnlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther while still being in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires aren’t suited for a rock y path, consider taking a road bike or a hybrid on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.21. What is especially suggested before hiking?A. Having a new pair of boots.B. Having a map.C. Having athirst for adventure.D. Doing some advance research on the websites.22. Which of the following items is NOT necessary when taking backcountry camping according o the passage?A. A tent.B. A cell phone.C. Food.D. Some water.23. What is the typical character of the mountain biking?A. You have to get permits.B. You have to do some research in advance.C. You can ride up and down the mountains.D. You must have a road bike.BTwo weeks ago, Ray Johnstone, an elderly man living alone in South Australia, posted a classified advertisement in search of a friend. Specifically, he was on the hunt for a fishing partner, as he no longer had anyone to share his hobby with. “I’m a widowed retired man who is looking for a fishing mate,” he wrote on Gumtree, “My fishing mate is now deceased. He will never accompany me to go fishing. I am a land-based fisherman. I have all the gear for all types of fish that is required for land-based fishing.”Like all of us, 22-year-old Mati Batsinilas was touched by the man’s advertisement, so he reached out to him and arranged an outing. Rather than simplyspend the day with Johnstone somewhere local, however, he and his family offered to take him on an all-inclusive weekend fishing trip of Stradbroke Island in Queensland. And, as expected, the y had a good time. “While on the island we covered four-wheel driving, site-seeing, fishing, swimming, chats with the locals and the best of all... just relaxing and chatting like mates,” Batsinilas wrote in a Facebook post. “Once you reach a level of maturity in life, age should only be a number. My respect for Johostone is obviously very high, but I treated him exactly the way I would have treated one of my 22-year-old mates.”Fortunately, it sounds like Johnstone won't have to place more classified advertisements any time soon.

But for some inspiring young musicians from the Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul, the road to the famous concert hall was more difficult.The Afghan Youth Orchestra( AYO) is made up of young people who study at the Afghanistan National Institute of Music. It was the first orchestra created in Afghanistan in 30 years.Gulalai Norestani, 14, plays a traditional string instrument. Like many students, Culalai became an orphan when her parents were killed during the ongoing war. Music is her salvation. “Music for me is a language of peace,” Gulalai said. “It connects people.”Milad Yousufi, 18. is a piano student “Music is my life,” he said. Milad also lost many of his family members during the war. W hen music was banned, he couldn’t even touch a piano. So as a 12-year-old boy, he started painting and drawing. “I used to draw a piano, he said. Finally, Milad was free to play a real piano. “Our dream came true,” he said. “It is everyone’s dream to play in Carnegie Hall.”And he has more dreams, “I have a dream to continue my education in America, he explained. I am working hard to make that happen. Then I have a dream to come back to Afghanistan and teach and serve people.Because of continuing limits in Afghanistan, Gulalai and Milad listen mostly to the kind of classical music they played at Carnegie Hall. But Culalai says she’s heard a bit of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira and she likes them. Miad says he has heard of Lady Coga and Justin Bieber, but hasn’t yet had a chance to listen to them.Before Milad went onstage that night with the band of Afghan kids who had survived a war, I asked him if he had ever experienced true peace. “No, not yet,” he answered, adding, “I hope I will be able to.”Later during the performance, as he played one of Carnegie Hall s famous grand pianos, the look of pure joy on his face convinced me that he found peace in music.28.

A Peace in MusicDWhen seeing the doctor, you feel better to know you will get some medicine. But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed. Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well. In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo.A placebo is a sugar pill, a harmless shot, or an empty capsule. The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better. How does this happen?The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself. It is as if there was a doctor in each of us. The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it. But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body. Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself. These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine, then it will act as if it did, and the body will feel better.Placebos don’t always work. The success of this treatment s eems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor. If the patient has lotsof trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient, then the placebo is more likely to work. So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all.A placebo can also have bad effects. If patients expert a bad reaction to medicine, then they’ll also show a bad reaction to the placebo. Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used. They think there is still not enough known about it.The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is. There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind. And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo.32. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The placebo.B. The bad effect.C. The body.D. The medicine.33. What do we know about the placebo according to the passage?A. It contains some sort of medicineB. It won’t function if you are negative about medicineC. People who don’t believe placebo can’t be healed by itD. Patients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body34. Why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo?A. Because patient needs help badly.B. Because patient believes in the doctor and the doctor wants to help the patient.C. Because doctor knows better about the patient’s body.D. Because doctor has carefully studied medicine.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Placebo: Work on Your MindB. Placebo: The Most Powerful MedicineC. Placebo: The Best DoctorD.
