But on a day in August, it seemed that all sports were about to be taken away from him. Though injuries were nothing new for Jack, this one was much more serious. He would miss both the football and wrestling seasons. “I had to experience a long and painful recovery,” said Jack.Curtis Urbina, a famous coach, admired Jack’s drive to keep going on the wrestling mat. After Jack got injured, he had an idea when sensing his sadness. He decided to bring Jack to practices to help him out.Curtis Urbina asked Jack to watch how he and the other coaches worked with wrestlers. As expected, Jack wanted to take part in wrestling instead of being kept indoors all day. He offered to coach the toughest kids. He was a natural coach. He kept the kids interested and made it fun for them. He showed patience and persistence (坚韧不拔) needed to deal with those kids. “Making sure that they stayed in the room as required was the biggest part of my job,” Jack said. “But I wanted to teach others some of the same lessons that wrestling had taught me.”One kid Jack coached was Stephen S inglak, aged 4. Stephen’s parents were amazed when they watched Jack work with their son. “You can guess how Stephen felt atfirst as he was often wrestling with kids bigger than him,” said Stephen’s dad. “But Jack started going one-on-one with him. Jack would be on all fours, and Stephen was trying different moves. Stephen started liking wrestling instead of getting discouraged.”After struggling to win even one match early on, Stephen won about half of his matches in this season. “It was a great feeling w hen I knew I had played a part in Stephen getting to where he was,” Jack said. “That coaching experience was just wonderful. I’m glad that I have a chance to help others. ”24.What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A.Jack loved playing sports very much.B.J ack’s sports career was ruined by the new injury.C.Injuries were quite common for Jack.D.Jack couldn’t bear the pain caused by the new injury.25.Why did Curtis Urbina bring Jack to practices?A.To give him a chance to take exercise.B.To develop his interest in teaching.C.To help him get rid of his sadness.D.To teach him some new wrestling skills.26.After Stephen was coached by Jack, he .A.thought he was a natural wrestlerB.easily got discouraged during his trainingC.liked playing with kids bigger than himD.showed a great interest in wrestling27.According to the last paragraph, Jack’s coaching experience .A.made him win many matchesB.helped him make a lot of new friendsC.gave him a sense of achievementD.made him popular among young kidsCIn the past several years, air travel has become less appealing for some travelers. Tighter security regulations mean longer waits. Rising fuel prices can lead to more expensive tickets. Despite ( 尽管 ) the inconveniences, air travel still has a number of advantages over car, train and bus travel.For a long distance, air travel is the fastest way to get to your destination, but even on shorter trips planes are much quicker. On a medium-length trip fromhours (including an hour’s New York City to Detroit, a flight will take about 41/2driving to and from the airport and an hour’s waiting in the terminal ( 终点站 )hours, a bus ride almost 15 hours and a train ride while a car ride will take 91/2about 161/hours. Buses, cars and trains only begin to become competitive on2extremely short trips such as from NYC to Philadelphia.Plane crashes are tragic events that can result in hundreds of deaths.Fortunately, they are extremely rare. According to Chance News, the odds ( 可能性 ) of dying on a 1,000-mile flight are significantly less than those from dying on a 100-mile car ride. Car, bus and train travel are also more dangerous than flying on a plane.The cost of tickets for airplane, bus and train travel can vary greatly. In many cases, however, air travel is the cheapest way. A trip from New York City to Detroit costs $86 by plane. This is comparable to slightly cheaper train tickets ($75) and bus tickets ($80) and cheaper than car travel ($115).On the longer New York City to Los Angeles trip, the advantages of air travel shine: airplane tickets are more than 30 dollars, less than train tickets, the cheapest alternative.28.Which means of transportation takes the longest time from New York City toDetroit?A. A train ride.B. A car ride.C. A bus ride.D. A flight.29.The underlined word “shine” in the last paragraph means“”.A. cast a shadowB. are obviousC. are unclearD. reflect light30.It can be concluded from the text that the author .A.is worried about the safety of air travelB.is familiar with the trip between New York City and DetroitC.prefers traveling by car rather than by busD.chooses to travel by train while travelling around the U.S.31.What’s the best title for the text?A.The Traffic System in AmericaB.The Disadvantages of Air, Train and Bus TravelC.Different Ways of Traveling Around the U.S.D.The Advantages of Air TravelDWhatever we do, let’s not forget the burbot ( 江鳕 ), a dark, mysterious, unusual creature which lives down deep in the bottom of deep lakes.The fish is “fat looking and a little bit soft”. With large flat heads, small eyes, downturned mouths full of sharp teeth, they are not exactly pretty. They are also extremely slimy (粘糊糊的) and under the chin is a single long, fleshy barbel (鱼的触须), giving the impression of a goatee (山羊胡子). These characteristics are important. Their teeth are essential for catching a huge variety of food.“They’re a very greedy animal,”says Steve Simpson, marine biologist and lover of burbot at Exeter University. “There are reports of them eating birds, eating snakes, eating frogs—they really will eat anything they can get. ”Once upon a time, they were ice-age fish that once swam freely in a cold world, until the ice moved away 10,000 years ago leaving small populations throughout the northern hemisphere ( 半球 ), including eastern England. For several months a year burbot can be trapped under ice—they need cold temperatures to lay eggs and all that unpleasant thick ice provides excellent protection.Although still present throughout the rest of Europe and North America, the only burbot in England today can be found in the rooms of the Natural History Museum in London, preserved in jars. The Angling Times offered a reward of ￡100 to anyone who found one in the UK, but that money lies unclaimed.When it comes to animals threatened with extinction, the cute and soft ones tend to get the mostattention. But what about the unattractive ones that go unnoticed when their numbers start to become gradually smaller and smaller? Someone has got to speak up for the burbot.32.Which of the following best describes burbot’s appearance?A. Ugly.B. Mysterious.C. Small.D. Attractive.33.For what purpose do burbot stay under ice?A. To go to sleep.B. To meet friends.C. To look for food.D. To produce eggs.34.What does the underlin ed part “that money lies unclaimed” mean?A.A reward of ￡100 is not appealing at all.B.The burbot has disappeared in British waters.C.The burbot only lives in the bottom of lakes.D.The English don’t care much about money.35.What is the author’s attitude towards t he burbot?A. Worried.B. Critical.C. Crazy.D. Proud.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
