I stood at Mrs. Blacks tone’s door. Before I tried the great escape, the door opened. “We’ve been waiting for you!” Mrs. Blackstone, my new fifth grade teacher, said loudly. With a smile my mom walked away and I was left taking center stage in front of a group of students.Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone made it her job to find me a new best friend. During history lessons, when I didn’t want to speak in front of the class, she’d not only call on me but have me stand up to address my classmates.One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “I’d like to speak with you, Amanda.” My mind raced. Had I got a bad grade? Had I hurt anyone’s feelings? “Are you enjoying your new school?” She sat comfortably behind her desk. “I want to tell you something, betwe en you and me, not to be shared with anyone else.” She continued, “I see something special in you. The way you communicate with others , and the kindness you show－I think you have great potential (潜力) to be something important.” I listened carefully to every word. “I have been a teacher for over twenty-five years; I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. That’s very important. Remember that and you’ll go far,” she said.Her voice was music to my ears that day. I walked out of her office, not staring at my shoes, but looking straight ahead with my head high. My teacher saw something special in me! Years later, her words still remain inside of me.46.

All theme parks in Britain have cafes, restaurants, picnic areas and gift shops, so you’ll still have plenty to see and do when you and the kids have been on enough rides. There are usually smaller “funfair”rides and games as well, so younger children won’t get bored. Several theme parks also have other attractions next to them, e.g. water parks often open all year round, unlike the theme parks.Wherever you are in Britain, there’s likely to be a theme park within one or two hours’drive, bus ride or train journey. Several theme parks even have accommodation(膳宿) so you can stay for a day or two if you want to make a trip into a short holiday.Prices for UK theme parks vary considerably; some have an entrance price which allows you to go on all the rides, while in others you have to pay for every ride individually. It can also make a difference whether you go during peak time or not. For example, tickets always cost more duringschool holidays and weekends than they do during the weekdays.Theme parks always get very busy during the summer months, so if you don’t like crowds, it’s usually a good idea to go earlier or later in the year!If you’re thinking of visiting a UK theme park, it’s worth having a look for special offers on tickets. Products such as chocolate bars and cereals sometimes have “buy one get one free”offers on theme park tickets, so keep a look out in shops and supermarkets.51. This passage mainly talks about all the following EXCEPT______.A. things to doB. prices for theme parksC. rules to obeyD. special offers52. You can’t______ in the theme park according to the passage.A. have lunchB. stay for the nightC. enjoy special offersD. have a skiing53.

According to the passage, what should you do if you are tired of crowds in the theme park?A. Avoid the busiest months.B. Go earlier or later in the daytime.C. Choose one with few visitors.D. Go there when no one is in it.55. The best title for the text would be______.A. What to Do in the Theme ParkB. Theme Parks in the UKC. Visiting the Theme ParkD. Introduction to Famous Theme ParksCLife doesn’t come with an instruction; I’m glad it doesn’t. Probably because if life was that easy we would all walk through it with perfect smiles and happiness I suppose, but something in us would long to make a big mistake.My first child was stillborn(胎死腹中的) in March, 2008. The memory of holding his weak lifeless body is still so clear. I didn’t know how I could deal with the pain of losing him. However, one important day I became pregnant(怀孕的) with my daughter and I started to see a little light. In the end I became a new person again filled with hope.It was a stressful experience, but once I was able to hold her part of my heart healed(恢复). She did not replace my son, but she gave me hope. That is what life is about, HOPE. We cannot experience full happiness without such life experiences.Of course not every experience is as painful as losing a loved one. There are people who have lived through it and become beacons(指路灯) of light. I have a friend who lost her 15-year-old son, and she carried on his memory through her photography. She is a great photographer and is able to give so much love and hope to other people.Extraordinary people are usually people who have suffered; they have become strong because they had to. We are all born with inner strength that we often don’t know until we have to unleash it. When bad things happen, people will surprise you --- love will come from unknown places to you to help you deal with everything. The only way for us to heal, and to go on living our lives, is to find that strength, and eventually help the next person who needs it. Let your experiences change you for the better, don’t let your loss ever be in vain, and reach out and give the next person a helping hand.56. We can learn from this passage that ______.A. people’s life is very weak and is full of painB. children can give mothers unexpected anxietyC. the second child of the author gave her new hopeD. the author became a responsible mother because of her daughter57.

The story of the author’s friend tells us the truth that ______.A. pains and difficulties are the main part of lifeB. any experience is valuable for our happinessC. when hard times come, it is difficult to see the lightD. how we deal with disasters can make all the difference59. What does the underlined word “unleash”probably mean?A. Let a strong force or emotion have an effect.B. Have a sense of one’s feelings.C. Think about something much more than necessary.D.
