As the teacher at the skydiving school,Ron was surprised when he saw the grey-haired man drive up to the airfield. He was more surprised when the man said that his name was Walter and asked if he could take skydiving lessons. 1. Ron explained to Walter that anyone over 50 had to be checked by a doctor before they could learn to jump from a plane.

   “I'm afraid you should have thought about that before coming here,” Ron said. “I'm sorry,but I can't let you start learning without a letter from your doctor. ” Walter smiled. u Here is a letter from my doctor. 2. ”

   So Walter was able to join the skydiving school. He came to all the lessons and worked very hard,although the other students were much younger than him,mostly about 30. 3. Ron asked him if he was feeling OK. Walter replied that he had never felt better. However,he added that there was something he should have told Ron earlier. Ron asked what it was and Walter smiled. Then,just before he jumped,he told Ron that he wasn’t 60. 4.

   Walter's first jump from a plane was six years ago. And yesterday he made his eighteenth jump. “I should have started skydiving a long time ago!” he said.

  閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從方框里的五個選 項(xiàng)中選出能填人空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng) 為多余選項(xiàng)。

   C. Walter's daughter Betty worries about him.

   D. Ron asked Walter how old he was and Walter replied that he was 60.

   E. Soon it was time for him to make his first jump.

 Ron是一名跳傘學(xué)校的老師，當(dāng)一位頭發(fā)花白的老人問 他自己能否參加跳傘課程時，Ron很驚訝，老人對Ron說自 己60歲了，并且拿到了證明其身體條件的醫(yī)生的信，因此 Ron同意了老人跳傘。但是在跳之前，老人對Ron說自己其 實(shí)已經(jīng)75歲了。

1. D下文Ron向Walter解釋50歲以上的人要接受醫(yī)生的 檢查，由此可知空格處應(yīng)該討論的是Walter的年齡，故

D項(xiàng)描述符合此處語境。

2. A上文提到Walter向Ron出示了醫(yī)生的信，下文要講的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該與醫(yī)生有關(guān)，故選A項(xiàng)。

3. E 由空格后的“Ron asked him if he was feeling OK. ”可知，Ron問Walter是否感覺良好。由此可推斷應(yīng)該輪 到Walter開始自己的第一跳了，故選E項(xiàng)。

4. B上文1空處講到Walter說自己60歲了，而現(xiàn)在又說自己不是60歲，故接下來Ron應(yīng)該問Walter的真實(shí)年 齡。由此可知B項(xiàng)描述符合此處語境。

   William Shakespeare was the greatest English writer of all time. He wrote thirty-seven plays in all. His stories are almost known in every comer of the world.

   William Shakespeare was bom in Stratford,a small town in England,in 1564. He decided to be an actor when he finished school at the age of fourteen. In 1582,he married the 26-year-old Anne Hathaway who was a farmer's daughter. Their first child was a daughter. Later they had twins. In 1585,Shakespeare left his hometown. His wife and children stayed behind. No one knows why he left or what he did between 1585 and 1592. These years are called “the lost years”. In his youth,he moved to London and began a career as a playwright. By 1594,he had become a key playwright of a popular acting company in the city.

   Although Shakespeare is famous as a playwright,he once was an actor and poet. He usually acted in his own plays. He earned almost no money from his writing. But he made a lot of money from acting. At the age of forty-nine,Shakespeare retired. Shakespeare spent the last five years of his life in Stratford. He died on 23 April 1616.

   Of course,Shakespeare wrote 400 years ago and his English was very different from that of today. He is a master of words. He coined about 1 ,700 English words,including everyday ones like “ lonely ” and “hurry,”according to the New York Post.

   Do you love taking photos with a camera? People who always take photos may actually be harming their memory,because they’re not concentrating on the event itself.

   “People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly (不費(fèi)心思地) to catch a moment,and they are missing what is happening right in front of them ,” said Linda Henkel,from the university. Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened a visitor's memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum,and either take photos of the items on display,or try to remember them. The next day,the group was tested.

   People who took photos in the museum were less likely to remember what they had seen. In addition,the amount of detail they remembered was worse than those who didn't take photos. “These results show how the mind's eye and the camera's eye are not the same,” said Henkel.

   But don't put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event,compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinking of taking a photo,just think： is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes,or behind the eye of the camera?

1. When we take photos,we .

   A. fail to focus on the event itself

   B. can't record the details

   C. remember what we have seen

   D. are likely to have a poor memory

2. The underlined word “weakened” in the passage probably means “”.

   A. 支持   B. 撫養(yǎng)

   C. 增強(qiáng)   D. 減弱

3. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment?

   A. It aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.

   B. They asked a group to take photos of everything in the museum.

   C. People who didn't take photos did better in the experiment.

   D. People who took photos in the museum could remember more details.

4. Where can we probably read this passage?

   A. The entrance of a museum.

   B. A scientific report.

   C. An instruction of how to use a camera.

   D. A guidebook on how to take good pictures.

   I had hidden the long black bag in the garage for the past two days. Tonight,in the dark,I would finally take it away. If everything went OK,it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one,not even my wife,saw me.

   It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.

   First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10：30 pm was not early. As usual,I read them a bed time story,but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.

   Silence finally came,and feeling like a thief in the night,I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end,I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.

   It was already eleven o’clock. By the light of the moon I started working,trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (鋸子) and a hammer.

   After much effort,my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn’t be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year.
