Matt Scott，who was born with spina bifida(脊柱裂)，grew up in Detroit，Michigan，where he participated in a variety of sports alongside his healthy friends.Now as a member of University of Wisconsin-Whitewater wheelchair basketball team，Scott has won four national championships，and has recently been selected to the Paralympic team for the second time.The 23-year-old college senior owes his achievements to his hard work and the support of his friends and family，who never allowed him to use his disability as an excuse.“My mother was always great.Whenever I felt giving up，she had no sympathy.She really helped me build my independence by not babying me the way other mothers would have，”Scott says.
It was Scott’s independent nature and strong will，along with his on-the-court skills，that attracted the attention of America’s most influential sports apparel(衣服)company，Nike.Nike was searching for an ath lete with a disability to represent its“Just Do It’s trade mark.A handful of superstar athletes with disabilities came to audition_for the role，but the company picked Scott to star in the 30-second commercial.
“I think that they were looking for the pretti est face in America，and found me，”Scott jokes about the selection process.
After being picked，Scott flew to California to film the commercial with Oscarwinning documentary director Errol Morris.The ad gave Scott celebrity(名人)status in the community of disa bled athletes.He’s been asked to speak at a number of disability­related events，and feels it’s his duty to use the media to draw attention to those with disabilities.“I’ve been given a voice，and I want to do whatever I can to break down the social barriers that are still faced by disabled athletes，and make people realize that they have a very high athletic level，”Scott says. 36．When Scott was young，______.

Mosquitoes do not randomly perch on just anybody，but choose their victims selectively，searching for the most appealing humans，according to a study released recently.
“Mosquitoes use odor(气味)to sort attractive people from the unattractive to find those that are the most tasty，”said University of Florida entomologist，Jerry Butler，in a statement.
In a study of what attracted mosquitoes to people，Butler said he worked off a theory that they go for humans who provide the richest source of cholesterol(胆固醇) and B vitamins that they don’t produce themselves.
Butler found one sure way to stop attracting them—stop breathing.He said that mosquitoes can identify an attractive human dinner target far away.When human beings breathe，they send out carbon dioxide and other odors that travel through the air，which seems a dinner bell，telling mosquitoes that a warm meal is within range.
When a mosquito is trailing an attractive target，it zigzags following the breath plume until it makes contact，landing on the skin and patiently searches for the right spot to insert its stylet for an 8-to-10 second feeding session.
Bathing helps reduce the attractiveness of sticky bodies but strangely enough after-bath products do not.Skin care products may improve a person’s appearance，but are also tantalizing to mosquitoes.
Butler said that he conducted the research in order to explore the tastes of mosquitoes and help humans avoid mosquito borne diseases.
40．The passage is most probably taken from______.
A．a science magazine B．a doctor’s brochure
C．a survival handbook D．a tourist guide
41．Which shows the mosquito has the most highly developed sense of smell?
A．It searches for the most appealing human being.
B．It can sort attractive people from the unattractive.
C．It can identify a human target far away.
D．It can find out people who are sweating.
42．What does the underlined word“tantalizing”in the sixth paragraph probably mean?
A．Demanding. B．Appealing. C．Admiring. D．Promising. 43．What can you conclude about the mosquito?
A．It is a selective hunter. B．It is a fierce hunter.
C．It is a hunter of strong smells. D．It is a hunter of the night.

Astronaut Zhai Zhigang became the first Chinese man to walk in space on Saturday，clambering out of China’s Shenzhou Ⅶspacecraft in a technological feat that made the Chinese people excited.
“I’m feeling quite well.I greet the Chinese people and the people of the world.”Zhai said as he climbed out of the craft at around 16：40 Beijing time，a historic achievement telecast live on CCTV.Tens of millions of Chinese viewers clustered before TV screens to watch the moment.
Chinese President Hu Jintao and other top leaders had appeared at the Beijing Aerospace Control Center to watch the live transmission(播送)of Zhai’s spacewalk.
Zhai,42，chosen by an expert team f or the first“extra­vehicular activity”，unveiled a red national flag，helped by colleague Liu Boming，who also briefly popped his head out of the capsule.Zhai slowly made his way towards a test sample of solid lubricant outside the capsule，took a sample and handed it to Liu.Zhai safely returned inside the craft after about 20 minutes.
The walk marked the high point of China’s third manned space journey，which has received widespread media coverage.Zhai wore a $4.4 million Chinese-made suit weighing 120 kg.Liu wore a Russian-made one and acted as a back-up.The third crew member，Jing Haipeng，monitored the ship from inside the re-entry module.The risky manoeuvre is a step towards China’s longer­term goal of assembling a space lab and then a larger space station，analysts said.
“On this flight，Chinese people’s footprints will be left in space for the first time，”said a commentary by the Xinhua News Agency.The astronauts embarked on their walk after receiving a clean bill of health from doctors on the ground at mission control in Beijing，Xinhua said.Zhai’s suit has 10 layers and takes up to 15 hours to assemble and put on.
China’s first manned spaceflight was in 2003.A second，two-manned flight followed in
2005.The only other countries that have sent people into space are Russia and the United States.

From the beginning of human history，wild animals provided food，clothing and sometimes medicine.We may not depend as much on wild animals now.But we hear about them every day.Americans use the names of animals in many ways.Automobile manufacturers and gasoline companies especially like to use big cats to sell their products.They like lions，tigers and wildcats.When Americans say wildcat，they usually mean a_lynx，an_ocelot_or_a_bobcat.All these cats attack quickly and fiercely.So wildcats represent something fast and fierce.
An early American use of the word wildcat was quite different.It was used to describe members of Congress who declared war on Britain in 1812.A magazine of that year said the wildcat congressmen went home.It said they were unable to face the responsibility of having involved their country in an unnecessary war.
Wildcat also has been used as a name for money in the 1800s.At that time，some states permitted banks to make their own money.One bank in the state of Michigan offered paper money with a picture of a wildcat on it.Some banks，however，did not have enough gold to support all the paper money they offered.So the money had little or no value.It was called a wildcat bill or a wildcat bank note.The banks who offered this money were called wildcat banks.A newspaper of the time said those were the days of wildcat money.It said a man might be rich in the morning and poor by night.
Wildcat then was also used for an oil well or gold mine that had almost no oil or gold in it.Dishonest developers would buy such property.Then they would sell it and leave town with the money.The buyers were left with worthless holes in the ground.Today，wildcat oil wells are
in areas that are not known to have oil.
48．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Wildcats and their stories. B．Wildcats and their characters.
C．Varieties of animal species. D．Relationship between animals and humans. 49．The underlined words“a lynx，an ocelot or a bobcat”in Paragraph 1 may refer to“______”．A．gasoline companies B．automobile manufacturers
C．names of wildcats D．brands of automobile
50．Which of the following would people like to have or trust according to the passage?
A．Wildcat congressmen. B．Wildcat oil wells.
C．Wildcat banks. D．Wildcat cars.
51．It can be inferred that during the days of wildcat money______.
A．people couldn’t buy anything with the money
B．people didn’t know how to save money
C．the rich invested too much on oil wells
D．people complained and suffered a lot

FROM 1964 to 1978，Dazhai，with a population of 500，was the most famous village in lions of Chinese came to the Shanxi village to visit its terraced fields(梯田) and“splendid”irrigation systems.
It was not until 1978 when Guo Fenglian，head of the village，paid a visit to the US that China’s model village found how far it had fallen behind those in developed countries.
“I was astonished at their modern equipment in harvesting，which could even separate big tomatoes with small ones，”said Guo.“American farmers’life quality also impressed me a lot.Every day they had two cups of milk，which is something we don’t have even in our wildest dreams.”
“We have to learn their advanced technology and administration for our own development，”said then first Deputy Prime Minister Deng Xiaoping who was planning China’s reform and opening up policy then.“Through opening our doors，we would not only take advantage of foreign funds(资金)，but also create job opportunities and cultivate(培养) talents.”
In 1978 Japanese electricity giant Panasonic(松下) came to China as the first foreign business to invest(投资) here and its success attracted other world brands into exploring the Chinese market.So far China has for 15 years taken in the world’s second biggest foreign investment，following the US，to help set the country in a fast growth.
However，China’s 30­year road of reform was not always smooth.Doubts on the reform began to rise at the end of the 1980s as many people worried the country would turn to capitalism(资本主义)．
“The criterion for our judgment is whether it helps develop socialist productive forces，
whether it helps increase the overall national strength of a socialist country，and whether it brings about better living standards，”said Deng.
“China’s reform and opening up is a uni que success story.It has brought benefit to both China and the world，” said William Keller，chief manager of a Swiss pharmaceutical(制药的)company.
52．Dazhai was not famous for______.
A．the wonderful irrigation systems B．its terraced fields
C．its modern equipment D．the farmer’s life
53．Guo Fenglian was______at the sight of the modern equipment in harvesting when she visited the US in 1978.
A．shocked B．delighted C．excited D．attracted
54．______was the first big country to invest in China.
A．America B．Japan C．Swiss D．Panasonic
55．Many people have doubts about the reform______.
A．in 1978 B．in 1980 C．in 1981 D．at the end of the 1980s

Fights have both right and wrong sides but that really isn’t important. If you don’t want to lose your friend, forget your pride and apologize to him .The funny things is that , the earlier you apologize to friend, the more feels what he did was wrong.59
,What matters is that you realize that true friends are hard to find, and you’re not willing to give up a beautiful friendship just because of an argument.
Often , people who fight become even better friends in the end.60 That’s because a true friend is some whom you’ve trusted, whom you’ve shared all your secrets and dreams with, and whom you’ve learned to l ove. He or she can understand you and finally forgive you.
