27、e house was quiet at 5 a.m. and Tim's mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He'd dreamt of the cave last night? The purring (輕微顫動聲) of the freezer had been the sea. Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast.

28、 He'd eat after he'd been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea. He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches -but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches. She'd want to know why he had to le

29、ave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table. Gone to Michael's. Back tonight. Tim. The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn't up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea

30、was fresh and sweet. The sandhills still breathed heat from yesterday's sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves. The light changed suddenly.

31、The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world Over the first rocks, along to the point. Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky. He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand t

32、urned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn't go in all the way.61. What did Tim do at the beginning of the story? A. He left the h

33、ouse quietly. B. He had breakfast at home. C. He left a note on the freezer. D. He put a sweater in his schoolbag.62. "He settled for some biscuits" (in Paragraph 3) means that Tim A. had to leave the biscuits on the table. B. liked biscuits better than sandwiches. C. had to take biscuits

Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived. C. Tim was the only person on the beach. D. The sky got dark as Tim reached the

35、cave.64. In the story, Tim's mood changed from . A. loneliness to craziness B. anxiousness to excitement C. helplessness to happiness D. eagerness to nervousnessB After spending three days in a wheelchair, I was ready to quit. Not only did I have to battle cracked and uneven pavements, I had to

36、deal with the bad attitude of pedestrians and a cold rain. But I didn't give up because of people like Tiffany Payne. Payne, who has been using a wheelchair for 18 years, laughed at me, "Imagine trying to get around town in the winter," she said. I could see her point: You're battl

37、ing to get to a doctor's appointment, but no one has shoveled after a big snowfall. Your choices: Move out and risk getting stuck, or reschedule the appointment. Those of us fortunate enough to get around on our own two legs don't give a second thought to the person in a wheelchair next to u

38、s at a crosswalk. That would require us to look down. So I decided to try using a wheelchair to get a sample of what their lives are like. It wasn't long before I saw that people who use wheelchairs are forced to deal with a lot of trouble. During my experiment, I was ignored by store staff whil

39、e shopping and bumped into by inattentive walkers without so much as an apology. Some people even gave me angry looks as if I were the one at fault. Once in a store, a woman bumped into me trying to get to the new iPad. She didn't say, "Excuse me." When salespeople did offer assistance

40、, they talked to people who were with me, instead of me. I wanted to yell, "Hey, I'm down here!" Some salespeople talked to me as though I were a child or acted like they didn't want to be bothered with me. People who use wheelchairs want to be treated like everyone else. They also

41、 comprehend, so you don't have to speak to them in a childlike, sing-song voice. It's not very appealing, especially when the person is an adult. And most importantly, remember they have feelings that can be hurt just like yours. Spending three days in a wheelchair made me look differently a

42、t those who have to use one. I hope you do the same. 65. The author writes the story to .

People in wheelchairs are usually hard to get along with.68. Which of the following statements would the author agree to? A. Look d

45、own on a person in a wheelchair. B. Speak to a person in a wheelchair in a sing-song voice. C. Treat a person in a wheelchair as you would treat any other person. D. Offer assistance to a person in a wheelchair without asking for permission.C "Our aim is to take our art to the world and make pe

46、ople understand what it is tomove," said David Belle, the founder of parkour (跑酷). Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in

47、 the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide. Yes, that's parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one

48、 point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop. Parkour can

49、be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that. Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers

50、 as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, "I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything."Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyo

51、ne, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.69. Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of .

52、70. The underlined word "obstacles" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to" ". A. streets B. objects C. barriers D. roofs71. Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour? A. Sports and extremes. B. Excitement and popularity. C. Dreams and success. D. Determination and fre

53、edom.D The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised; and oil companies have not been allowed to

54、employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As a Norwegian politician said last week, "We will soon be changed beyond all recognition." Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success: Tromso
