1．The Hermitage Museum
The Hermitage Museum is one of the most important sights to see for any visitor to St．Petersburg．There are lots of different paintings by the old masters in the Hermitage．Prepare to come face-to-face with classic Western artists．
2．Kizhi Island
Kizhi Island is an open-air museum of wooden architecture from the Karelia Region of Russia．These impressive structures are made entirely without nails-the wood fits together with joints and grooves（沟槽）．
3．Peterhof
Peterhof is as beautiful as it is fun．You'll be charged for admission，but go to Petethof when the fountains are working-during the day in the summer．They are shut off in winter evenings．
4．The Church of Our Savior on the Spilt Blood
Love it or hate it，the Church of Our Savior on the Spilt Blood in St．Petersburg is an wonderful must-see sight．The beautiful look may make your eyes brighten，and the painting inside the church will make you say"Wow!"
5．The Bronze Horseman Statue
The so-called Bronze Horseman is a part of Russian culture and a symbol of St．Petersburg．Made famous by Alexander Pushkin，this statue of Peter the Great sitting on his horse can truly show Peter the Great's influence on the Russian idea of greatness．

分析 本文主要介绍了在圣彼得堡观光旅游时，在圣彼得堡前必看的景点的特点．

解答 55．答案是B．细节理解题，根据The Hermitage Museum部分中"There are lots of different paintings by the old masters in the Hermitage"有许多绘画大师的不同作品以及在第四部分The Church of Our Savior on the Spilt Blood中"the painting inside the church will make you say"Wow!""在教堂里的这幅画会让你说"哇"，可见这两个地方的绘画作品最有名，所以答案选B．
56．答案是C．细节理解题，在第三个景点Peterhof中"You'll be charged for admission"你会被收取门票钱，可见A选项错误；在Peterhof中"They are shut off in winter evenings．"它们在冬季的晚上会被关闭，可知B错误；在Kizhi Island中"Kizhi Island is an open-air museum of wooden architecture from the Karelia Region of Russia"可知这个建筑物是木制的，因此C选项正确；文中没有提到俄罗斯最大的艺术品收藏，所以D选项错误，故答案选C．
57．答案是D．推理判断题，文章第一段是本文的主旨，其中"these are the top must-see sights in St．Petersburg"这些都是在圣彼得堡前必看的景点，可知文章介绍了这些必看景点的特点，所以答案选D．
58 答案是A．推理判断题，根据划线部分"If you are short of time，or just want to make sure to   hit the highlights，these are the top must-see sights in St．Petersburg"如果你想节省时间或者是确保在热点景点参观这些都是圣彼得堡前必看的景点，由此可知"hit the highlights"是指最让人们感兴趣、人们去的最多的景点，所以答案选A．

8．[1]The little country schoolhouse was heated by an old-fashioned coal stove．An eight-year-old boy named Glenn Cunningham had the job of coming to school early each day so that he could use kerosene （煤油） to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and his classmates arrived．One cold morning someone mistakenly filled the kerosene container he used with gasoline，and disaster struck．
[2]The class and teacher arrived to find the schoolhouse was in flames．Terrified on realizing that Glenn was inside，they rushed in and managed to take the unconscious little boy out of the flaming building，more dead than alive．He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was rushed to a nearby country hospital．
[3]From his bed，the badly burned，semi-conscious little boy faintly heard the doctor talking to his mother．The doctor told his mother that her son would surely die for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower part of his body．
[4]But the brave boy didn't want to die．Glenn made up his mind that he would survive．And somehow，to the amazement of the doctor，he did ___．Yet when the danger of dying was past，he again heard the doctor and his mother speaking quietly．The mother was told that since the fire had destroyed so much flesh in his legs that it would almost be better if he had died，since he was surely to be a lifetime cripple （瘸子） with no use at all of his legs．His mother refused to let the doctors cut off his legs．
[5]Once more this brave little boy made up his mind．He would not be a cripple．He would walk．But unfortunately，from the waist down，Glenn had no motor ability．His thin legs just hung there，all but lifeless．
[6]Eventually，Glenn was released from the hospital．Every day afterwards，his mother and father would massage（按摩） his legs，but there was no feeling，no control，nothing．Yet his determination that he would walk was as strong as ever．
[7]When he wasn't in bed，he had to be in a wheelchair．One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard to get some fresh air．This day，instead of sitting there，he threw himself from the chair．Glenn pulled himself across the grass，dragging his legs behind him．
[8]He worked his way to the white fence bordering their yard．With great efforts，he raised himself up on the fence．Then he began dragging himself along the fence，determined that he would walk．He started to do this every day until he wore a smooth path all around the yard beside the fence．There was nothing he wanted more than to develop life in those legs．
[9]Eventually，through the daily massage and his determination，Glenn did develop the ability first to stand up，then to walk with help，then to walk by himself-and finally miraculously-to run．
[10]Glenn began to run to school．He ran for the joy of running and being able to run．He ran everywhere that he could．The people in his town would often see him run by on his way who knows where and smile．Later in college Glenn made the track team where his tremendous determination paid off．He eventually received the nickname the"Kansas Flyer．"In February 1934，in New York City，this determined young man，Dr．Glenn Cunningham，ran the mile in four minutes and eight seconds，the world's fastest indoor mile!

5．Will you get a good job？What will you do？Many new graduates feel lost when they consider the endless list of career choices．They've invested a lot of money for their diploma（文凭）and now an important question stares them in the fact．
I've seen so many now graduates who do not know how to use the degree they have just earned．An example was Dave，who loved sports and had played baseball throughout his college years．He had his heart set on working for Nike．But he had never made clear in his own mind what kind of job he could do for Nike，so nothing ever happened．Another example was Allison，who was a history major．She wanted to work as an event planner，but unfortunately，no one hired her．Why？No experience．
Failing to do some solid career exploration first，to get a clear idea of the types of jobs you can do，is a big error that many college students make．After our suggestion，Dave and Allison both found their jobs．To ensure a brighter future，follow these effective strategies：
-Make educated career choices．Identify the job you want．Conduct research．Ask parents to advise you on actual job duties．Consider what your natural talents are，and look for positions where you can use them．
-Don't rely on the Internet．Networking is an effective tool-be sure it's a job-hunting strategy you use．New studies from the Department of Labor state that only 4% of job-seekers found their job on the Internet．The fact is that 63% of all jobs are filled by contacts．
Employers are making quick decisions．Most people lose the job in the first minute of the interview．It's deadly to let the employers focus quickly on how well you can perform the job．
-Practice your interviewing skills．Be ready for the tough questions by first writing out good answers to possible questions and having a role-playing interview with your friend．

60．What does the author seem to be most probable？D
A．A job-hunter．       B．A magazine editor．
C．A website owner．    D．A job-seeking adviser．

12．I am a writer．I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language-the way it can evoke（唤起）an emotion，a visual image，a complex idea，or a simple truth．Language is the tool of my trade．And I use them all-all the Englishes I grew up with．
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California，I've been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks．Like others，I have described it to people as"broken"English．But I feel embarrassed to say that．It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than"broken"，as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed，as if it lacked a certain wholeness．I've heard other terms used，"limited English，"for example．But they seem just as bad，as if everything is limited，including people's perceptions （认识） of the limited English speaker．
I know this for a fact，because when I was growing up，my mother's"limited"English limited my perception of her．I was ashamed of her English．I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say．That is，because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect．And I had plenty of evidence to support me：the fact that people in department stores，at banks，and at restaurants did not take her seriously，did not give her good service，pretended not to understand her，or even acted as if they did not hear her．
I started writing fiction in 1985．And for reasons I won't get into today，I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with：the English she used with me，which for lack of a better term might be described as"broken"，and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese，her internal （内在的） language，and for that I sought to preserve the essence （本质），but neither an English nor a Chinese structure．I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show：her intention，her feelings，the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts．

61．By saying"Language is the tool of my trade"，the author means thatD．
A．she uses English in foreign trade      B．she is fascinated by languages
C．she works as a translator              D．she is a writer by profession

B．The author's mother was not respected sometimes．
C．The author'mother had positive influence on her．
D．Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts．
64．It can be inferred that the English the author's mother used wasD．
A．well structured                     B．in the old style

65．What is the passage mainly about？D
A．The author's experiences of using different Englishes．

D．The changes of the author's attitude to her mother's English．
