When I returned from a trip abroad, I sensed that something was wrong between Keith, one of my two sons, and me. So I asked him, “Keith, have I done anything that really 31 your feelings?”
Immediately, he said, “Yes. Last Christmas you promised us a special 32 that we really wanted but you 33 gave it to us.”
The 34 was that I had completely forgotten about it. I continued, “Is there anything else I've done wrong, but I haven't apologized for?”
Again, his 35 was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the hospital because Kate, my little sister, was going to be born? You left us at home and 36 in a hurry. Remember?”
“Well, you left and 37 the suitcase.” I couldn't believe he remember all the details! “After you came back from the hospital, you were 38 to see the suitcase had been opened and everything had been thrown all over the place, and then you 39 me.”
“And you didn't do it?” I asked.
“No, I didn't. I was just searching for my gift.”
My heart sank. I felt 40 . I hugged Keith and asked him to 41 me. His honesty made me think of my other son, Kevin. Maybe I'd hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the 42 question. Kevin answered as immediately as his 43 , “Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forgot about it.”
44 Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The 45 thing wasn't the toy. The problem was that I had made a promise too rashly (轻率地) and didn't keep it as their father.

Erik Weihenmayer was born with an eye disorder. As a child his eyesight became worse and then, at the age of 13, he lost his sight completely. However, he did not
lose his determination to lead a full and active life.
Erik became an adventurer(探险家). He took up parachuting, wrestling and diving. He competed in long-distance biking, marathons and skiing. His favourite sport, though is mountaineering.
As a young man, Erik started to climb mountains. He reached the summit of Mount McKinley in 1995 and then climbed the dangerous 1,000-metre rock wall of El Captain. Two years later, while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa with his girlfriend, they stopped for a time at 13,000 feet above sea level---in order to get married. In 1999, he climbed Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in South America. And then, on May 25, 2001, at the age of 33, Erik successfully completed the greatest mountaineering challenge of all. He climbed Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world.
Erik invented his own method for climbing mountains. He carries two long poles: one to lean on and the other to test the way ahead of him. The climber in front of him wears a bell to guide him. Erik is a good team member. He does his share of the jobs, such as setting up tents and building snow walls.
Although he could not enjoy the view, Erik felt the excitement of being on the summit of Qomolangma. He hopes that his success will change how people think about the blind. “When people think about a blind person or blindness, now they will think about a person standing on the top of the world.”

Imagination and fantasy(幻想) can play an important role in achieving the things we fear(害怕). Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.
Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.
The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terri bly afraid.”Maybe I could go as Superman,” he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated (犹豫) for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装), but finally she agreed.
The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation. The power of imagination need not be reserved (保留) for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it, “If you can dream it,you can do it”.
It doesn‘t mean that you should dress as a superhero for you r next job interview. But, next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it. Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.
61. What do we know about Tom?
A. He was seriously ill.
B. He was a dishonest boy.
C. He was crazy about magic.
D. He was Dr. Epstein’s patient.
62. What can be inferred about Tom’s mother?
A. She was a rich lady.
B. She refused Tom’s request (要求).
C. She wanted Tom to be a superhero.
D. She wanted to get Tom through the pain.
63. When Tom went for the third operation, he _________.
A. pretended to be painful
B. acted like a superhero
C. appeared in poor spirits
D. argued with his mother
64. In the last paragraph, you are advised _________.
A. to go through some difficult tests
B. to wake up from your wild dreams
C. to become a powerful person in your mind
D. to wear expensive clothes for job interviews
65. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To tell us an interesting story.
B. To help us make right decisions.
C. To advise us to care about children.
D. To encourage us to use our imagination.
C
When school year is nearing an end in the United States, students are preparing for their final examinations. But not all young people graduate from high school. Students who leave are not likely to be as successful in life as those who finish at least high school. Since the 1940s, students who do not complete high school have had another choice. This is a certificate called the GED. GED is short for General Educational Development. People who have earned a GED can get admitted to college and continue their education.
To earn a GED, students must pass five examinations. These are in writing, social studies, science, reading and mathematics. Testing officials say a person who passes the test is at the same level as sixty percent of graduating high school students. This is in the level of ability to read, write, work with numbers and understand information.
Each year, more than 500,000 people take the GED examinations and about 70 percent pass. But research has shown that only about 11 percent of GED holders complete a year or more of higher education.
Some critics say earning a GED is not as good as completing high school. They say the test does not force people to study the way they have to in order to graduate. Critics say this is one reason GED holders generally do not stay in college. They also say the possibility of taking the G.E.D. test makes it easier for students to leave high school early.
Testing officials have made changes in recent years designed to make the exams more difficult. And both critics and supporters of the G.E.D. agree that it performs a valuable service for those who can go on to complete college. Successful GED holders include the actor Bill Cosby, Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell and Delaware Governor Ruth Ann Minner.
66. The purpose of the GED testing is to _________.
A. increase high school student s’ education
B. meet the needs of the college students
C. let every student enjoy free education
D. meet the needs of early high-school leavers
67. How many GED holders complete a year or more of college per year?
A. 38,500
B. 55,000
C. 350,000
D. 300,000
68. According to some critics, the GED testing _________.
A. will make it easier to complete high school
B. will not perform a valuable service for society
C. will make it easy for students to leave school earlier
D. should be immediately forbidden
69. The text takes Bill Cosby for example in order to show that _________.
A. GED holders can become an actor in the future
B. the GED testing can also play a certain active part
C. Bill Cosby strongly supports the GED testing
D. the GED testing should have some changes
70. What exams should high school students pass in order to get GED in America?
A. Science, math, art, social studies and writing.
B. Writing, reading, science, art and math.
C. Listening, speaking, reading, writing and math.
D. Reading, math, writing, science and social studies.

One possible version:
The event of 1,500 meter final was held on the playground of our school last Thursday afternoon. Six brilliant runners from Senior 1 were competing against each other for the champion. I was very confident at the beginning, but after a while I felt very tired and wanted to give up. However, encouraged by my teachers and classmates, I kept running and won the second prize. Through this event, I came to realize that as long as you hold on, you will be able to pull through the difficulties and eventually succeed.
Tape script
(Text 1)
M: Hi, Linda. What are you doing this evening?
W: Hi, Mark. Nothing much. Why?
M: How about going shopping?
W: Well, I don’t like shopping. Why not go to a movie? I haven’t seen a movie for a long time, and I heard there is a good movie on at 8:00.
M: Good idea. You can come over to my house at about twenty to seven; le t’s have dinner together and then go to the cinema.
W: Ok. See you then.
(Text 2)
Josh and I have been best friends for over a year. We hang out together almost every day. However, about a month ago, we had a big fight. That day I went to Josh’s house to watch a movie with him. But Josh said he wanted to go and watch his older sister’s performance at school. When I asked if I could come too, Josh said no. I felt hurt.
I asked why I couldn’t come, and Josh said, “I want to do something without you!”
I ran home feeling sad. When my mother saw me, she asked why I was blue. I told her everything. She said, “If you really get along with someone and have a good time when he’s around, you will want to spend all your free time with him. But spending every single day with someone can be boring. Sometimes you both need some time of your own.” Hearing what my mother said, I knew that there wasn’t anything wrong with our friendship.
