As a boy，Tim was much influenced by books about the sea, but in fact by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a dentist and as a result Tim had the opportunity of meeting many doctors either at home or elsewhere. When he was fourteen he was already hanging around the clinic of a local doctor where he was supposed to be helping to wrap up medicine bottles，but was actually trying to listen to the conversations taking place between the doctor and his patients in the next room.

During the war Tim served in the Navy as a surgeon（外科医生）.“That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with very real suffering and on the whole making a success of it .”In California he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skills to himself and his ability to take decisions. Thus，while he was able to tell them what to do, he could feel he was serving them. After the war, he got married and chose to be a doctor in the countryside，working under an old doctor who was popular in the area，but who hated the sight of blood and believed that the secret of medicine was faith. This gave the younger man many opportunities to go on working as a life –saver.

Tim Burton attempts to work his gothic magic over one of the best loved stories of all time—Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.

Alice, now 19, attends a party at a Victorian estate, only to find she is about to be proposed to by a rich suitor（求婚者）in front of hundreds of snooty（傲慢的）society types. She runs off, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland—a place she visited many years before, yet she doesn’t remember. The white rabbit claims to have come back for Alice because she is the only one who can slay（杀死)the Jabberwock, the beast who guards the Red Queen’s empire. Alice remains completely unaware of why she is in Wonderland, and is confused about the fact that she had once visited Wonderland years before.

Now, Wonderland has changed into a dark, scarier place than it used to be. Alice then embarks on an adventure of self discovery, and to save Wonderland from the Red Queen’s reign（统治）of terror with the help of her Wonderland friends.

Nathan’s second-hand bike was good enough to get him anywhere he wanted to go. Of course, it couldn’t match Tim’s in a normal speed race, but all the fancy gears (齿轮) in the world wouldn’t get you up Black Mountain. It was so steep in places that you had to get off your bike and push.

On this particular afternoon, the odds were all on Nathan’s side. First, he was stronger. Tim had always been thin, but recently he’d started to grow so fast that his arms and legs were like pieces of spaghetti. As well as being considerably fitter than his friend, Nathan knew the shortcuts up Black Mountain.

So when Nathan accepted the challenge, he was sure he’d win. He nearly always did, in competitions with Tim. That was what was strange. Tim was so competitive, and yet he wasn’t any good at physical things.

By the time the two boys were three quarters of the way to the top, Nathan was clearly ahead. While the road zigzagged back and forth up the mountainside, in certain places, there were also vertical tracks, where water rushing down the slope in winter had bitten erosion courses into the soil. These had in turn been so overgrown by bushes and long grass in the spring that they looked like tunnels through the bush. The trick was to know where you could cut off a whole bend in the road by leaving the road and pushing your bike up one of these half-hidden pathways. If you chose the wrong one you’d struggle up for ten minutes and then suddenly reach a dead end. Then there was no choice but to go back.

60. What did Tim challenge Nathan to do?

A. test who had the fastest bike

B. decide who was the most competitive

C. find the secret tracks on the mountain

D. race to the top of Black Mountain

61. It was sometimes quicker to use the tracks rather than the road because the ___________.

A. tracks were partly hidden.

B. tracks were easier to ride bikes on.

C. road had many bends in it.

D. road was overgrown after the winter.

62. Which of the following advantages did Nathan have over Tim?

A. Nathan had a better bike and knew the shortcuts up the mountain.

B. Nathan was fitter and knew the quickest ways up the mountain.

C. Nathan was stronger and more competitive than Tim.

D. Nathan was stronger and had a better bike.

63. The quotation “ the odds were all on Nathan’s side” means that __________.

A. Tim would not try very hard in the race

B. Tim had not yet grown as big as Nathan

C. Nathan had a greater chance of winning the challenge

D. Nathan had more friends who thought he would win

     As the new term starts, freshmen around the world are asking the same question: how can I make the
best of four years at college? The New York Times received suggestions recently from PhD students and
seniors at some of the top US universities. Here's their advice.
     "Many young people today are raised in a protective cocoon (茧)", wrote Tim Novikoff, a PhD student
at Comell. "College is a time to explore the world beyond and a chance to learn new things about yourself.
Take classes in different subjects. Try lots of different clubs and activities."
     Remember also to take some time away from campus, suggested Willie Lin, a student at Washington
University. "If you spend all of your time in school, then it becomes too easy to let criticism from an unkind
professor or a conflict with a roommate take up large proportions."
     Try to find work assisting a researcher or a professor-this is the advice from Aman Singh Gill, a PhD
student at Stony Brook University. And he also said, "With a window into the world of research, you will
find yourself thinking more critically, accepting fewer states at face value and perhaps developing a brave
sense of what you can accomplish."
     Many young people cannot imagine even a single day without devices such as computers and cellphones.
But try to keep yourself off them, cautioned Christine Smallwood, a PhD student at Columbia University.
     Start by scheduling a few Internet-free hours each day, with your phone turned off. It's the only way
you'll be able to read anything serious. "This will also have the benefit of making you harder to reach, and
thus more mysterious and fascinating to new friends and acquaintances (熟人)," she suggested.

1. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 means we should ____.

A. spend more time at school
B. take some time out of school
C. listen to criticism more
D. not argue with roommates

2. Who thinks it is important to consider something critically?

A. Tim Novikoff.
B. Aman Singh Gill.
C. Christine Smallwood.
D. Willie Lin.

3. As for modern information devices, the last two paragraphs mean to tell us ____.

A. not to use them
B. to turn them off
C. to keep ourselves off them forever
D. to make a schedule to use them

4. This passage is mainly about ____.

A. tips from some students for college life
B. ways to read something serious regularly
C. days without cellphones and computers
D. chances to go to university you really like
