．．A
．．Homeboy Goes to Harvard University
．．On January 11, 2007, as students sat and listened, a very important guest speaker named Richard, spoke to the students in the lecture hall. He not only showed the potential（潜能）within young adults, but encouraged them to work hard at their lessons.
．．Richard was a young child when his mother died and his father walked out. He was forced into many different foster homes（寄养家庭）where he felt unhappy. He did not know that his life was taking a turn for the worst.
．．His uncle, after getting out of prison, got him into drugs and alcohol. His uncle taught him that his place in life was either to be in pris on or die trying to be “a man.” His uncle’s teaching almost started affecting him until a very important person came into his life: a teacher. This teacher taught him there is a place in the world for everyone and it isn’t related to drugs.
．．Richard is now a Harvard University graduate and has a great and loving family. Why? He was taught to have respect not only for others, but for himself.
．．After the meeting, it was hoped that the students realized within them there is a potential, and within everyone a round them, is knowledge. As Richard reminded them, “Knowledge is power.”．．56. On January 11, 2007, students listened to a speech made by Richard, who graduated from ________.
．．A. Harvard University B. a foster school
．．C. his teacher’s school D. his uncle’s university
．．57. Richard encouraged the students ______.

．．About fifty years ago, when television first came out, people thought that radio was no longer useful. Television has both sounds and images（影像）. It is much more real and interesting to watch television than to listen to the radio.
．．However, fifty years later radio is still very popular and it will be here for a long time. One reason is that we don’t need to see an image when we listen to the music on the radio. In fact, listening with your eyes closed is the best way to listen to a piece of music. You can imagine yourself on a sandy beach or up high on a mountain. In other words, you can create your own images.
．．Moreover, while listening to the radio, you don’t have to take your eyes off your work. For example, you can listen to the radio and drive at the same time. Or you can read a book and listen to the radio. Television, on the other hand, doesn’t have this advantage.
．．A radio is much smaller than a television. You can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime you want. In a quiet place you can use headphones to listen to the news or music on the radio. In this way you won’t disturb anybody.
．．Moreover, a radio is much cheaper than a television. For less than $ 20 you can buy a small radio and have fun with it.
．．60. What is the passage mainly about?
．．A. Music. B. Radio. C. Sound. D. Television. ．．61. People like to watch TV because _______.
．．A. it has headphones to listen to the news B. they can drive while watching TV ．．C. it has both sounds and images D. they can watch with their ears
．．62. We learn from the passage that _______.
．．A. people can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime
．．B. television came out 50 years ago and it is useless now
．．C. a radio is more expensive than a television
．．D. people can use headphones to read books

．．May 5, 1884

Flying through Time
1. The first
machine to carry
people up in the
air was a big ball.
People put a lot of
hot air inside it.
Because hot air is
lighter than cold air, it can fly into the air. It was built by the Montgolfier brothers in 1783.
4. In 1919, John Alcock and Arthur Whiteen Brown made the first flight across the Atlantic. They made the flight without stop. It was a great success.
5. Then in 1939,
Igor Sikorsky made
the first helicopter.
A helicopter is a
kind of plane with
something long and
thin turning on top.
It can take off
straight up and land
straight down.
2. Over the next
hundred years,
people tried to make
other kinds of
machines fly.
6. The De Havilland
Comet was the
world’s first
commercial
passenger jet. It
made its first flight
in 1949. From then
on, more and more
people began
traveling by air
because it can save
a lot of time.
3. In 1903, the first real
plane was made but it
could fly in the air for
only 12 seconds. It was
made by Orville and
Wilbur Wright. They
joined the engine to
something that went
round fast to make the
plane go forward.
7. In 1969, Concorde
was made. It was faster
than sound. But because
it cost too much money,
it stopped flying in
2003.

You will have a lot of reading to do in your grade this year. You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly.
Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have
been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.
Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions:
A. Do you move your lips when reading silently?
B. Do you point to those words with your fingers as you read?
C. Do move your head from side to side as you read?
D. Do you read one word at a time?
E
If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and stop them moving.
If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin in one hand, and hold your head still.
If you read no more than one or two or three words at time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance when your eyes are traveling across the lines of words.
Even if you do read fairly fast now, you can learn to read even faster. As you probably have been told, the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read in groups and force your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these two things will be able to read faster.
71. You ____those habits that we are talking about in reading if you want to read fast.
A. must remember
B. must get rid of
C. must have
D. must keep
72. You may hold your finger over your lips while reading so as _____.
A. to hold a piece of paper between them
B. to keep yourself from talking to others
C. to tell others to be silent
D. to feel whether your lips move or not
73. When your eyes travel across the lines of words, ____.
A. you need to read the words out
B. you need look at every word carefully
C. you need to read several words at a time
D. you need to remember every word
74. When you read, ____.
A. don’t use your finger to point to the words
B. don’t hold your books with your hands
C. don’t keep your head still
D. do all of the things mentioned in A, B and C
75. If you can read fairly fast now, ____.
A. you don’t need to learn to read faster
B. you can go on reading like that
C. you can learn to read even faster
D. you can enjoy reading

straight hair, and a pair of big eyes. She is tall and thin. But she is a little unhealthy, because she doesn't have a balanced diet, that means she always eats junk food, although I have told her not to do that any more!
．She likes watching soap operas to spend her spare time, and I also feel strange that she never surfs the Internet. She gets on well with her classmates. And we usually help each other with subjects, she is the very person who gives me a hand when necessary. I'll always feel lucky to have a friend like her!
．I hope she can be admitted into a university./ May joy and health be with her always./ May happiness follow her wherever you go!/I wish her to make more progress in her study.
