Diana Nyad was dozens of miles into her dream to complete a 103-mile swim from Cuba to Key West. Because of the currents in the Florida Straits, Nyad would have to last 60 hours-if everything went perfectly.For two years, this dream of swimming from Cuba to Florida had been part of her every waking hour. She was about to turn 60. "I wanted to be filled with commitment to the best of myself so that 1 wasn't looking back later saying, 'What have I done with my life?''' says Nyad.Those extreme physical struggles are not new to her. In 1974, 25-year-old Nyad became the first person to swim across Lake Ontario against the current. A year later, Nyad's 28-mile swim around the island of Manhattan made the front page of the New York Times."Physically, I'm stronger. I weigh a lot more," Nyad said after a training swim in Key West in June. "There are also mental advantages to being older," says Steven Munatones, an expert in swimming.Feeling a sharp pain in her right shoulder, she changed the angle of stroke (划), telling herself to go gently until her hand caught the water. In the 17th hour, she swam over to the boat, and the crew located a pain reliever. Nyad took it. She lay on her back, rolled onto her belly and continued swimming, and then she'd turn on her back again, gasping, unable to fill her lungs. "I'm trying to make it. I'm barely going forward. I feel so sick. This has been my dream forever, but I can hardly make it another hour," Nyad told David Marchant, the boat's navigator (领航员). Between the 23rd and 27th hours, Nyad had gone just five miles. "OK, Diana, I'm going to touch you, and it's going to be over," Stoll said. Nyad agreed. And with that, 29 hours and 43 minutes after she'd leaped into the water, the swim came to an end."She just wouldn't quit. It was more amazing to see her not make it the way she fought than if everything had gone exactly right and she'd made it the whole way," says Mark Sollinger, who piloted Nyad's lead boat.At a press .conference in Key West after being pulled onto the support boat, Nyad choked back tears and said, "Sometimes the will is so strong. But I was shaking and freezing, and I thought, 'There's no mind over matter anymore.' I think I'm going to have to go to my grave without swimming from Cuba to Florida."But when Nyad returned home to Los Angeles, the pain began to fade. "Something says to me the goal is still there," says Nyad.21. Nyad decided to swim from Cuba to Florida because she _______.A. wouldn't swim against the currentB. wanted to prove she was stronger than beforeC. had David Marchant as her navigatorD. wanted very much to fulfill her dream22. We can learn from the passage that Nyad _______.A. refused any help as she struggled in the water to make itB. has given up the dream of swimming across the Florida StraitsC. appeared on the front page of the New York Times at the age of25D. began the swim from Cuba to Florida when she was about 60 years old23. What can we conclude from what Mark Sollinger says in Paragraph 6?A. He didn't expect Nyad to succeed.B. He was disappointed at Nyad's failure.C. He really admired Nyad for her struggle.D. He was not sure about Nyad's success.24. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Highly Skilled SwimmerB. The Unsinkable Diana NyadC. A Regrettable ExperienceD. The Inspiring AdventureＢThe cost of raising a child from birth to age 18 is about $ 160,140! That doesn't even touch college tuition. For those with kids, this figure might lead them thinking how much they could have banked. For others, that number might confirm the decision to remain childless.But $ 160,140 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into $ 8896. 66 a year, $ 741. 38 a month, or $171. 08 a week. That's a mere $24. 44 a day! Just over a dollar an hour.Still, you might think the best financial advice says don't have children if you ever want to be "rich". It is not.What do you get for your $ 160,140?•Naming rights.•Giggles under the covers every night.•More love than your heart can hold.•Kisses and hugs.•Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.• A hand to hold usually covered with jam.• A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites, and building sandeastles.For $ 160,140, you never have to grow up! You get to finger-paint, carve pumpkins, play hide-and-seek, and never stop believing in Santa Claus. You have an excuse to keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh, watching cartoons , going to Disney movies, and wishing on stars.For $ 160,140, you get to be a hero just for taking the training wheels off the bike, and coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.You get a front row seat to history; to witness the first step, first word, first date, and first time behind the wheel.You get to be immortal(不朽的)You get another branch added to your family tree.You get an education in nursing, criminal justice and communications that no college can match.In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there with God.You have all the power to correct a mistake, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a party, and love them without limits, so one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost.……25. Which of the following is NOT true after you have a child?A.You enjoy the right to name your children.B. You never seem to get old.C.You still need to learn.D.

February 7 marked the 200th anniversary of his birthday. Yet for many, his language is old-fashioned and his stories often improbable. Then why do so many people know and read Dickens today?One reason is the British government's insistence that every child study a Dickens novel at school. Alongside William Shakespeare, Dickens is on every English literature school reading list.His stories, though often long by today's standards, are great moral tales. They are filled with colorful characters.Earlier this month, a ceremony was held in Portsmouth, where Dickens was born. Prince Charles said at the ceremony: " ...(Dickens) used his creative talents to campaign passionately for social justice... His characterization is as fresh today as on the day it was written."His books stand out from many other writers because of his insight (洞察力) into human nature. Dickens, like Shakespeare, tells us truths about human behaviour. They are as true in the 2Is1 century as they were to his readers in the 19th century.Readers have returned to Dickens' books again and again over the years to see what he has to say about their own times.No surprise then that it was Dickens whom Britons turned to during the economic crisis in the last couple of years. Dickens helped them make sense of a world that was rapidly falling apart. The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels, Little Dorrit, into a popular television drama that introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time. A dark story about greed and money, it was the perfect illustration of bad times.As long as Dickens' novels have something to say to modern audiences, it seems likely that he will remain one of Britain's best-loved writers.29. In the article, the author intends to tell us .A. why Dickens' novels still appeal to readers in modern timesB. that Dickens' works are no longer popular among young peopleC. why the British government puts Dickens on school reading listsD.that Dickens and Shakespeare's works are required for study at school30. In Britain, people still read Dickens because of .a)romance in his booksb)moral value in his booksc)his colorful charactersd)his insight into human naturee)government education requirementf)his description of the current economic crisisA. abdfB. bcdeC. bdefD. abed31. We can infer from the article that .A.it's better to read Dickens in time of difficultyB. Dickens was a great social observer of his timeC. human nature seems worse during bad timesD. Dickens predicted economic crisis would happen32. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Dickens' novels are still of realistic significance to today's world.B.Dickens' novels are of greater value during economic crisis.C.Dickens' works have gained more popularity than Shakespeare's.D.Some of Dickens' less well-known novels have been discovered recently.三、单词拼写33.–The TV seems broken.
