Romulus and Reruns, founders of ancient Rome, were said to have been brought up by wolves. It is believed that when a she-wolf loses her litter, she tries to find a human baby to take its place.This seemingly unreasonable idea did not become believable until the nineteenth century when a French doctor actually found a boy wandering in a forest. The boy had no clothes on and was judged to be ten years old by some experts. He did not walk straight up like a human being, but with both his hands and feet touching the ground. The boy could not speak but howled like a wolf. He did not eat any cooked food but raw meat such as hare, deer, or goat meat. He knew nothing about the relationships among human families. Finally the doctor won the boy's trust,and the boy started to obey him. After many long years of devoted and patient instruction, the doctor managed to get the boy to dress himself in clothes and feed himself as a human being does. With great difficulty, the doctor was able to make the wolf-boy recognize and speak quite a few words.11.According to the passage, it is believed that _____ .答案：human beings are curious about wolf children12.

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between a writer and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours at a ty pewriter. “You have got to want to write,” I said to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for many years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who died wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to test (even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure). This is the shadow-land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.1．阅读理解(4.0) 分The passage is meant to _______ .A、warn young people of the hardship that a successful writer has to experienceB、advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC、show young people it is unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealthD、encourage young people to pursue a writing career2．阅读理解(4.0) 分What can be concluded from the passage?A、Genuine writers often find their work interesting ａｎｄrewarding.B、A writer’s success depends on luck rather on effort.C、Famous writers usually live in poverty ａｎｄisolation.D、The chances for writers to become successful are small.3．阅读理解(4.0) 分Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first years of his writing career?A、He was not able to produce a single book.B、He hadn’t seen a change for the better.C、He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.D、He found his dream would never come true.4．阅读理解(4.0) 分In “…people who died wondering”, “who” refers to those _______ .A、who think too much of the dark side of lifeB、who regret giving up their career halfwayC、who think a lot without making a decisionD、who are full of imagination even upon death5．阅读理解(4.0) 分“Shadow-land” in the last sentence refers to _______ .A、the wonderland one often dreams aboutB、the bright future that one is looking forward toC、the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedD、a world that exists only in one’s imagination第2题(20) 分In many stories on TV and in science-fiction books, men travel to faraway stars. They have quick, easy journeys. But so far, men have been able to reach only the earth’s own moon.Suppose a man wanted to reach a distant star. Even if he traveled his whole life, he would have to move faster than the speed of the light. Nothing can move that fast except light itself.Strange things happen to an object when it moves rapidly. The object weighs more. An object moving at 86 percent of the speed of light is twice as heavy as it is at rest. A stick appears shorter.A clock runs more slowly. A man would not age so fast as he would on the earth.Light travels more than 186,000 miles a second, or about 11 million miles a minute. In one year, light travels six trillion miles. That great distance is called a light-year. It is used to measure distance in space.The star closest to our sun is Alpha Centauri. It is more than four light-years away. If one traveled at the speed of light, he could make a round trip to Alpha Centauri in nine years. But, even at that speed, he could not reach Alcaid (北斗星) in the handle of the Big Dipper. A one-way journey to Alcaid would take almost 200 years.1．阅读理解(4.0) 分In this passage the words “closest to our sun” means the star _________ .A、the earth we live onB、Alpha CentauriC、the Big DipperD、the moon2．阅读理解(4.0) 分A one-way journey to Alcaid would take _________ .A、about nine yearsB、less than four yearsC、almost 200 yearsD、less than 100 years3．阅读理解(4.0) 分Why do we measure the distance in light-years instead of miles?A、Units of light-years sound better.B、Using light- years reduced the number of figures used.C、We used to measure distance in light-years long ago.D、We do not make mistakes when we ｕｓｅlight-years.4．阅读理解(4.0) 分If a stone moved at the speed of light, it _________ .A、would weigh twice more than it is motionlessB、would weigh as much as it is on earthC、would weigh less than it is on earthD、would not have weight at all5．阅读理解(4.0) 分This story is mainly about _________ .A、the distance between the sun ａｎｄthe other starsB、the problems of traveling to faraway starsC、what happens when we travel faster than the speed of lightD、the tool we ｕｓｅwhen we go to faraway stars第3题(20) 分Students can travel in the United States without spending too much money if they follow these suggestions.A travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains, buses and planes. Think about hiking or biking for a par t of your trip, too. You’ll not only save money, but you’ll also see a lot more of the country.Some students may want to travel by car. Be sure to think about going with other students—many colleges have “ride boards” that list when and where other stude nts plan to travel. Many radio stations provide the same sort of service —they announce who’s driving where, when, how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.There are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel guide for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night.You don’t have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don’t recommend a diet of candy and cola, either. You can usually get a healthy, cheap breakfast in a restaurant. If the weather is warm, you can buy food in supermarkets or at roadside stands and have a picnic for lunch. For dinner you can get the names of good, cheap restaurants from travel guides or friends.1．阅读理解(4.0) 分The passage tells students _______ .A、how to make travel plansB、how to get help while travelingC、how to ｕｓｅless money while travelingD、how to choose hotels2．阅读理解(4.0) 分To see more of the country, you’d better travel _______ .A、by planeB、by busC、by trainD、by bike3．阅读理解(4.0) 分If you want to share rides with others, you can get information _______ .A、on the blackboards in classroomsB、from school administratorsC、through certain radio programsD、from travel agents4．阅读理解(4.0) 分According to the passage, staying at youth hostels is _______ .A、cheapB、convenientC、comfortableD、enjoyable5．阅读理解(4.0) 分To save money, you can _______ .A、have more candy ａｎｄcolaB、invite your friends for a picnicC、take some food with youD、eat in restaurants sometimes第4题(20) 分If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure, for it isn’t defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without feeling ashamed, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing else can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you fully use the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than what you are capable of.1．阅读理解(4.0) 分The author _________ .A、orders you to analyze defeatB、wants you to face defeatC、advises you to let a baby grasp a rodD、warns you not to confuse defeat with fail2．阅读理解(4.0) 分Defeat is valuable ________ .A、because it is a factorB、because it isn’t defeat that makes you failC、because it provides the guide ａｎｄencouragement to successD、because it is not a thing to be ashamed of3．阅读理解(4.0) 分What does the author know? ________ .A、he knows every success in lifeB、he knows the factor making for successC、he knows every man who is able to analyze defeatD、he knows the life of every man4．阅读理解(4.0) 分The person who was able to analyze the defeat is likely ________ .A、to be a successorB、to face it with feeling ashamedC、to achieve successD、to be ashamed of it5．阅读理解(4.0) 分What does the author advise one to do with the power which defeat gives? One should ________ .A、explore itB、explain itC、let a baby grasp a rodD、learn it第5题(20) 分No man can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather.

I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between a writer and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours at a typewriter. “You have got to want to write,” I said to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.
