Over the past 20 years, I have watched the Lion King for more than a dozen of times.
When I first watched the movie, the__31___ of Mufasa's death made me--- a six-year-old girl at that time--- cry, and since then, I have always__32____ that part. Later on, during my middle-school years, I liked the love story part a lot, and Simba and Nala were really a ___33____ couple in my heart. Every time I watched the movie, I felt___34____.
Recently, I've watched the Lion King again. This time, what impressed me most was the ___35___ of Pumbaa and Timon--- they were ordinary and lived an ordinary life. Before joining Simba to regain his kingdom, all about their life were eating and singing.
To me, the best lesson that Paumbaa and Timon have taught us is that ___36____ they know they are ordinary and their life is ordinary, they still love and enjoy it.
In fact, in the real world, only quite a few people can achieve great things and become extraordinary, and the rest of us will just live our ___37___ life.
A sentence in an article recommended by the Fair (WeChat Subscription)__38___ me: by hard work, ordinary people only fight for the right to __39__ their ordinary life in the ordinary world. It is cruel, but it is true ( at least in my opinion).
The best solution is to accept and enjoy it. I know it's __40__ but this is a part of growing up. I'm not saying that we should not have great dreams, after all, just as Vince Lombardi has said, " Perfection is not attainable( 可达到的）, but if we chase perfection we can ___41___ excellence". However, I just think we should get __42__ if our great dreams would never come true.
I also dreamt about becoming extraordinary at a young age, same as most of my fellow classmates in primary school. In the senior high school, I was no longer one of the __43__ students, and then, for the very first time, I realized that maybe I couldn't be extraordinary.
Now, I'm well__44___ that I'm no more than an ordinary person but I'm __45___ with that. I went to an ordinary university and got my BA in English, and then to another ordinary university and received my MA in translation. Doing the editor's job, I now___46___ myself a life in Shanghai, such an expensive metropolitan city to live in ( and I'm not a local girl).
I can't __47___ Michael Kors or Issey Miyake, but I have comfortable clothes which fit me well. I usually go out dinner with a couple of friends on weekends, no fancy of first class restaurants but sidewalk cafe or common restaurants where we know there are delicious food and nice __48___.
I consider this not the passive acceptance, but a(n) ___49___ attitude of turning " this is life" to " this is the life". But all in all, I still have ___50___, just in case they would become true one
day.
Yes, be ordinary and be happy.
31.A. view B. spot C. scene D. effect

EVERY kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing house as a child — pretending to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.
But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid + adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle choice among young people across Asia.
Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.
Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, the British publisher Bloomsbury even released an edition of the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no o ne else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book.
―Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who love their childhood most and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,‖said Lee So-jung, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.
He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.
Tim Greenhalgh, an adviser in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up.
They hold on to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.
―So, they can escape from increasingly busy and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,‖ Greenhalgh said.
51 . Why does a kid wish to be an adult?
A. Because he wants to be an adult.
B. Because he doesn’t want to be controlled by adults.
C. Because he wants to experience the real world.
D. Because he believes there will be more exciting life ahead.
52. We can learn from the passage that kidults are________.
A. Some kidults refused to grow up.
B. Some kidults in Britain like reading on the subway.
C. Some kidults think childhoods is the best time of their life.
D. Some kidults want to escape from busy and stressful life.
52. One of the advantages of the kidult culture is that _________.
A. it can make adults face the real social life.
B. it can make our society young and full of life.
C. it can increase the sales of children’s books
D. it can lead to harmonious relationship between adults and kids
53. Which of the following is the best title for the article?
A. Kid or Grown- ups
B. Happy Childhood
C. Fearful Adulthood
D. Kidult Culture
B
Phyllis Wheatley is regarded as Ameica’s first black poet. She was born in Senegal, Africa in about 1753 and brought to America at about the age of seven. John and Susannah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave（奴隶）market in Boston in 1761. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family, which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley’s twin 15-year-old children, Mary and Nathaniel. At that time, most females, even from better families, could not read and write, but Mary was probably one of the best educated young women in Boston. Mary wanted to become a teacher, and in fact, it was Mary who decides to take charge of Phyllis Wheatley’s education. Phyllis soon s howed her remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics.
At the age of thirteen, Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation(引起轰动的人物)after she wrote a poem on the death of the preacher George Whitefield in 1770. It became common to read Phyllis Wheatley's poetry in polite society. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis Wheatley's poems, but once they heard she was black they weren't interested.
Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel, who was now a businessman, to London. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects. It was the first book published by a black American. In 1775 Phyllis wrote a poem about George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters. After both of her benefactors(恩人) died in 1777 and in 1778, Phyllis was freed. She married in 1778, moved away from Boston, and had three children. But after the unhappy marriage, she moved back to Boston, and died in poverty in 1783.
55. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Those days the black were looked down upon.
B. Phyllis read a lot of books when she was young.
C. Phyllis didn't move away from Boston until she got married.
D. Phyllis Wheatley's first poem interested and excited the public.
56. Which is the correct order of Phyllis Wheatley’s life according to the passage?
a. Us president sang high praise for her
b. People became curious about her poems
c. Mary began to educate her
d. Phyllis was freed as a slav
e.
e. She served Nathaniel all the way to London
A. a-c-e-d-b
B. e-c-b-d-a
C. c-b-e-a-d
D. d-c-e-b-a
57. Which statement about Phyllis is supported by the passage?
A. She died young.
B. She got a good school education.
C. Her first poem was published in London.
D. She was regarded as a poet after being freed.
C
Overweight seems to be a national trouble. Diets, books on dieting , dieting organization, and advice from doctors and health professions do not seem to be enough. Millions of people have turned to dangerous drugs or harmful diets to starve off their hunger.
The meat industry and the fast-food restaurants have more to do with America's weigh problem then anything else. Each day we are filled with powerful TV and radio ads promoting(推介) the idea that it's perfectly OK to have bacon and eggs for breakfast, hamburgers and French fries for lunch , and fried chicken and French fires for supper.
Is there a healthy diet that people can use to lose weight and keep themselves slim and fit forever？There is indeed .But it requires removal of meat, fish, and milk products from the diet forever .
A healthy diet-and-exercise regimen(养生之道)is actually pretty simple. That is to cut meat, fish, and milk products out of the picture completely(and I do completely).
●Do not eat any meat, fish, eggs, or milk products. No cheese, no ice-cream, no pizza, and no butter.
●Eat only low-fat, and low-sugar foods. Eat fruit (in reasonable amounts) for desserts.
●As much as possible, avoid drinks with caffeine, such as coffee, tea, or cola.
●Use soya drinks instead of milk. Soya drinks are high in protein and generally fairly low in fat.
●Eat cereals, grains, bread, and pasta in reasonable amounts (with no cheese, but always with high-protein foods).
●Jog or fast-walk at least one mile per day. If you are unused to this level of exercise, start with smaller distances and build up to a mile.
It has been known for years that it is possible to get all the protein we need from high-protein vegetarian foods. Many restaurants now serve vegetable-protein meals, such as veggie-burgers or refried bean tacos and burritos; be sure to ask for them without cheese or sour cream!
58. The underlined words "starve off their hunger" in the first paragraph most probably mean _____.
A. satisfy their need of losing weight
B. slow down the feeling of huger
C. make themselves feel hungry
D. wish for being slim
59. The meat industry and the fast-food restaurants have more to do with America's weight problem because______
A. they convince people to eat more food rich in fat
B. they make powerful ads on TV and over radio
C. they fill people with the idea to have bacon and eggs
D. they make people take dangerous drugs or harmful diets
60. To keep slim and fit, the author things it better______.
A. to change the picture of meat, fish, eggs, or milk products
B. not to eat any meat, fish, eggs, or milk products
C. to eat cereals, grains, bread, and pasta as much as possible
D. not to take soya drinks high in protein
61. From the passage, we can infer that ____
A. it’s healthy to jog or fast-walk at least one mile every day
B. high-protein vegetarian foods don't have all protein we need.
C. proper foods play a very important role in keeping healthy.
D. it's inappropriate to ask for veggie-burgers without cheese or sour cream.

On my way to coaching basketball yesterday, I was listening to WGN, my favourite talk radio station. Icould tell right away that there was something wrong by the serious mood of the speaker. There had been a plane crash. Two small planes crashed into each other over a northern suburb of Chicago. What made the story hit was that Bob Collins, the morning show man for WGN, was the pilot of one of the planes and had been killed. Later that night, as I made my 40-minute drive home, I listened as the station reminisced (缅怀) and paid admiration to a man who was loved by many. They told story after story, describing him as the greatest friend and a man who had lived life to the fullest. True love and affection poured in from all over the country. The more I listened how this man had influenced those around him, the more discouraged I became.
I was discouraged because I wanted to know why we, as a culture, wait until somebody has passed away before we let them know how much we love them. Why do we wait until someone can't hear before we tell them how much they mean to us? Why do we wait until it is too late before we recall the good qualities of a person? Why do we build someone up after they have gone into eternity (不朽)? What good does it do then? We share memory after memory, as we laugh, cry, and think back about what was positive in a person's life. Yes, it does help us deal with the great sadness of losing someone who was special to us. And yes, it does bring those who are closer together. But as we lovingly remember this person, our words fall short of the ears that most needed to hear them.
Just once I would like to see a celebration of life, instead of a gathering of death. A celebration where stories are told, eyes mist over, laughter rings out. I would like to see, as the speaker concludes his or her loving admiration, the person they are honoring rising from their chair and giving them the biggest bear hug! Wouldn't that be something! The special person gets to hear the stories and come to the realization that they have made a difference on this earth. And all this is done well before they leave their earthly bodies and go into eternity. And when the unavoidable funeral (葬礼) finally comes, we can say goodbye with the knowledge that they knew exactly how people felt about them while they were here on earth.
I now have a stronger resolve (决心) to tell those around me how much they mean to me. I am going to let my wife know just how loved and appreciated she is, not only by my words, but also by my actions. I am going to play Batman with my four-year-old more often, and in the middle, I am going to steal into my sleeping baby's bedroom, place my lips on his chubby cheek, and thank God for the bundle of joy he has brought into my life. Each day I will make a point to tell both of my boys how much I love them, whether they are four or eighteen! From there, I am going to let family and friends know the huge influence they had on my life. And last but not least, I am going to let the high school players I coach know that I look forward to each and every minute that I get to spend with them in the gym.
Do you love someone? Then tell them! Has someone been an influence in your life? Then give them a call! Has someone made a difference in your life? Then write them a letter or send them an e-mail! Don't let another day go by without letting that person know. There is something special about a written letter that expresses feelings of love towards another. I don't know about you, but I have letters and cards from people that I have saved for years, and from time to time, I get them out and reread them. They can turn an unpleasant day into one where you realize just how blessed and loved you are.
Life is too short to leave kind words unsaid. The words you say, or the letters you write might just make all the difference in the world.
