He spent less time on basketball in the first year to win a scholarship, but during the off-season (淡季) at Chemeketa, Boucher practiced hard in the gym and made the biggest improvement of his career. He proved himself to his coach, David, and he went on to play an important role in future games. Boucher joined a professional team in 2003. Then he was given a new chance to play a smaller role in a national game at the end of 2004. Since then the door to success has been open to him. Up to now he has been able to play in about 20 countries outside the United States. Many people believe Boucher deserves his success for his endless hours in the gym. He loves basketball, and he has never given up his dream. He is sure to be happy to the end. 56. When Boucher was in high school, _________. A. he never took part in any game B. he often played basketball C. he was taller than his friends D. he didn’t catch people’s attention 57. People think Boucher is sure to get his honor for _____.

It can be concluded from the passage that "_______". A. Well begun is half done B. No pain, no gain C. Every road leads to Rome D. Failure is the mother of success B Ten years ago, Sang Lan, a 17-year-old Chinese gymnast, was competing at the Goodwill Games in New York. During a routine warm-up vault (跳马), Sang landed on her head and suffered an injury that left her paralyzed from the chest down. Ten years later, she is a college graduate, and has many admirers. According to New York Times, what happened was that, as Sang was making her sprint (短跑) down the runway, a coach moved the springboard (跳板) in a misguided (搞错旳) attempt to help her. She was running at full speed, and had no time to stop. Unfortunately, there was no cushion to receive her fall. "I heard a terrible sound," Octavian Belu, the Romanian coach, said at the time. "I don’t feel bad about it now," Sang said in an inter-view over the weekend, explaining that she still follows gymnastics. She provided her professional opinion on television and on the Internet during the Beijing Olympics. "I’ve had to learn to face reality. Sometimes, when I watch old videos of me flying in gymnastics, I’m proud that I used to be so good." She’s getting on with her life. At Peking University, from which Sang graduated last year with a broadcasting (播音) degree, friends had to carry her up stairs from class to class. She has her own caretaker (看护) and a personal assistant, or manager, provided to her by China’s General Sports Administration. "I can’t say I never feel regret, but I never complain," Sang said. "There’s no use in being regretful. You can’t live your life over again. I still love sports." 59. What caused Sang Lan to become injured according to the passage? A. She was running too fast at that time. B. She landed on the cushion in the wrong place. C. The coach didn’t know she was going to fall. D. A coach moved the springboard to a wrong place. 60. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Sang faces her past bravely. B. It was not Sang’s fault that she was injured. C. A caretaker has been provided by Sang’s own family. D. Sang feels a little regret sometimes. 61. Which of the following have helped Sang Lan since her injury? a. Octavian Belu b. Her caretaker c. Her manager d. China’s General Sports Administration e. The interviewer A. b, c, e B. b, d, e C. a, d, e D. b, c, d 62. From the passage, we learn that __________. A. one should never give up even in the face of great difficulty B. being realistic brings great rewards C. one always feels regret about the past D. it’s easy for a retired sportswoman to become popular C Guide dogs’ training begins when they are very small and lasts for about two years. To be chosen, puppies (幼犬) must be calm, good-natured and intelligent. They also must be willing to work and eager to please (取悦) their owners. The dogs learn to go around obstacles (障碍) and to stop at stairs and other possible dangers. Moreover, they must learn to ignore other things, which have nothing to do with their work, such as cats or other dogs. If you see a guide dog working, don’t talk to it or touch it. Remember, it has an important job to do! Once a dog has been trained, its new owner will come to a training center for one month. There, the dog and the person must learn how to work together. One blind man says, "Having a guide dog has given me back my dignity and my reason to live. Before I had Lila, I was ignored, had been attacked and was frightened to leave the house. Now I feel like a human being again." This is just one of the ways dogs help humans. They have truly earned the title "man’s best friend". 63. According to the text, a guide dog _________. A. is able to stop a car for its owner B. can do shopping for its owner C. works for its owner for about two years D. can lead its owner through crowded places 64. Before becoming a guide dog, the dog must ________. A. learn to read road signs B. learn to concentrate on its work C. accept its owner’s training from the beginning D. be familiar with its owner’s living environment 65. The underlined word "Lila" in the fourth paragraph probably refers to "__________". A. a doctor B. a housekeeper C. a guide dog D. a travel guide 66. We can infer from the text that ___________. A. any dog can be trained to be a guide dog B. it’s dangerous to talk to or touch guide dogs C. guide dogs sometimes attack their new owners D. guide dogs don’t always obey their owners’ orders D When we talk about robots, we tend to think of the robots we see on television or in the movies. These robots could catch criminals, tell jokes and do many other things. Actually, nowadays we have robots in many different fields for different purposes, so don’t let the following falsehoods stop you from buying a robot. 1. Robots are too expensive. I could never afford one. False. Robots are more affordable today than ever before. The wide use of robots has led to a large decrease in robot prices over the last several years. The typical robot costs as little as 20,000 dollars. Moreover, the benefits of robots are much more than the cost. Robots are designed to increase production and profits, but at the same time, they will mini-mize waste and accidents. 2. Programming and operating a robot is complicated. It can only be performed by a professional robot expert. False. You can learn to operate and program a robot wit
