分析 本文讲述了美国影视演员Christopher Reeve的故事，早期他出演了许多成功的电影，不幸的是1995年，因一次意外落马事故而瘫痪，医生预料他可能会死去，但他却又凭借顽强的毅力和勇气开始了一种新的生活．

解答 41．was；考查系动词，be born in 是固定短语，意为"出生于…"．
42．when；考查时间状语从句，分析句意为"当他8岁的时候出演了一部校园剧"，故用when引导一个时间状语从句．
43．successful；考查形容词，此处用形容词形式successful作定语，修饰名词films．
44．for；考查介词，be famous for 是固定短语，意为"以…著名"．
45．Unluckily；考查副词，后面讲到的是 Christopher Reeve 的不幸遭遇，又因在句中作状语，所以这里要用luck的否定副词形式Unluckily．
46．broke；考查并列成分，句子中的动词fell和broke是并列谓语，故时态保持一致，用一般过去时．
47．However；考查连词，空格前面讲到"医生认为他活不下来了"，后面又说"他取得了惊人的进步"，所以前后应是转折关系，故用However．
48．amazing；考查分词作形容词，现在分词作形容词修饰物，过去分词作形容词修饰人，此处要修饰的是progress，故用现在分词形式amazing．
49．his；考查固定搭配，on one's own 是固定短语，意为"独立地；独自地"．
50．a；考查冠词，此处不定冠词a表示泛指，意为"一种新的生活"．

12．Some of the most popular programmes on British television，all with their regular millions of loyal viewers，are‘soaps'such as Coronation Street，Eastenders and Emmerdale．（A‘soap'is an informal word for a‘soap opera'，which is a television story，in daily or weekly episodes （连续剧集），about the daily lives of the characters in it．）
In every soap there is comedy and tragedy，and storylines of all kinds．In every soap there is the inevitable gossip，and there is the essential character who brings misfortune on himself-or herself，the spiteful woman who hates the success of her sister in marrying a man with money and whose childish behavior splits the family．
To some degree，of course，the regular episodes provide many people with an adult kind of comic，rather like Dickens'serialized novels did．At times，the actions and characters in them seem quite realistic； at other times，they go to the other extreme and show actions that look as if they are straight from the pen of the best fiction writers．But perhaps the fall into clearly fictional comedy or tragedy is necessary to remind regular viewers that their daily amount of‘soap'is no more and no less than a shot of fiction，and that the characters are not real．
Certainly life is never dull in a soap．If one of the adolescents buys a motorbike and a young child lives round the corner，you can bet the two will meet in an accident．If two people fall in love and get married，you can be sure that a friend will cast an insult on the character of one of them，enough to break up the marriage．After all，this is not life； this is a soap!Reality makes way for fiction．The viewers who think that they are watching even a reflection of reality only bring disappointment to themselves．But there are still viewers who follow the comings and goings of the characters on screen with unreasoning faith，believing that the events are real when characters are injured or ill，or even die，and send cards or flowers with best wishes，congratulations or sympathies．
What many of us find difficult to understand is just why soaps have become so popular？

13．Acid rain is a very serious environmental threat faced by our planet today．Millions of people get affected by it on a daily basis．This problem is more serious in the northern hemisphere （半球） where there's a huge growth in the number of industries．Winds absorb more and more quantities of harmful gases produced by various kinds of industries．Acid rain occurs when high levels of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide enter in the atmosphere and start chemical transformation．These harmful gases are absorbed by water droplets in the clouds and they fall on the earth during rains．They can damage the natural soil by increasing the acidity levels and pollute rivers and lakes．Dead and weakened trees are a very common sign of acid rain，while in cities worn off or scarred buildings are also a result of acid rain．
Acid rain is actually a broad term which is used to describe different types of acid that fall from the atmosphere on earth．It's mainly divided into wet and dry．Parts of the world which experience wet weather have acid rain，acid snow and fog．Other parts which experience dry weather for most of the year experience acid gas and acid dust．
One of the main causes of acid rain is a sudden drop in the pH levels of water and that happens because of absorption of harmful gases by the atmosphere．The best way to bring back the pH balance of water is to limit the use of items which run on petrol．Instead use products which run on electricity．
Another great thing that all people can do is to learn how to drive cars efficiently．To reduce smoke emission from cars，drivers should ease up as soon as the yellow light rather than slamming on the brakes and they shouldn't rush away as soon as the lights turn green．These small practices help reduce the wastage of petrol．
Limit the use of buses or cars for small things，people can also make use of cycles or walk to cover small distances．
Another great tip which almost all of us can practice is to always keep the vehicle tyres full of air，which will provide users with a better fuel economy．
Turn off your lights，computers and other appliances when not in use．
Learn about the different sources of energy besides fossil （化石） fuels and try to use them in daily life．Many nations like France and Germany are using electrical，nuclear，wind and solar energy on large basis．

10．When 19-year-old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation （基金会），nobody understood what she was talking about．But Sophia knew just how important Make-A-Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one her best friends．We were interested in finding out more，so we went along to meet Sophia listen to what she had to say．
Sophia told us that Make-A-Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980．"It's a charity（慈善机构）that helps children who have got very serious illnesses．Make-A-Wish help children feel happy even though they are sick，by making their wishes and dreams come true，"Sophia explained．
We asked Sophia how Make-A-Wish had first started．She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris，who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman．Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris's dream come true----so，with everybody's help，Chris，only seven years old at the time，had been a"policeman"for a day．"when people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true，they decided to try and help other sick children too，and that was the beginning of Make-A-Wish，"explained Sophia
Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special，happy time．A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world．Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true．They do this either by providing things that are necessary，or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can．

17．If you feel stressed by responsibilities at work，you should take a step back and identify （识别） those of（56）greater （great） and less importance．Then，handle the most important tasks first so you'll feel a real sense of （57）achievement （achieve）．Leaving the less important things until tomorrow （58）is （be） often acceptable．
Most of us are more focused （59）on our tasks in the morning than we are later in the day．So，get an early start and try to be as productive（60）as possible before lunch．This will give you the
confidence you need to get you through the afternoon and go home feeling accomplished．
Recent （61）studies （study） show that we are far more productive at work if we take short breaks（62）regularly  （regular）．Give your body and brain a rest by stepping outside for （63）a while，exercising，or doing something you enjoy．
If you find something you love doing outside of the office，you'll be less likely（64）to bring （bring） your work home．It could be anything-gardening，cooking，music，sports-but whatever it is，（65）make（make） sure it's a relief from daily stress rather than another thing to worry about．

Boys and girls!I'd like to share my swimming experience with you．My swimming experience is extreme interesting．There was a time when I swim like a rock．This went on till one day when I was fishing with a friend of mine at the pond．I slipped into it．Had my friend not come to my rescue，I would have drowned．Since then，I had come to know the important of learning to swim．I didn't attend at any training class but learned it all by myself．Strange to say，I have  no difficult swimming at all now．Though the way I swim looks awkward （笨拙的），at least it can keep me floating．Think of this，I feel quite satisfying．
Yours，

5．"Confidence"is probably one of the most noticeable quality in the Americans．They show confidence in the way they talk，the way they smile，the way they dress and the way they walk．Living and competing with all these confident American students，I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and teacher．As a student，being confident means you should dare to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind．Don't mind if it sounds simple or silly．Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all．What's worse，the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the topic---this is the last comment any graduate would not like to receive．
Being confidence for me as a foreign teacher means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it．Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself uneasiness or even shame．But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches．（The course I'm teaching here is Public Speaking．） Modesty（谦虚） is a quality highly valued in China，but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program．

60．What should we do most if we want to compete with American students？A
A．Be quite confident．B．Be polite and friendly．
C．Have more discussions．D．Know what they think about．
61．A professor will have the worst opinion of a student whoD．
A．gives a silly or simple answerB．tries to seize any chance to speak in class
C．shows no interest in the courseD．is considered to have no opinion of his own
62．The author is most likely to feel uneasiness ifC．
A．he asks a student to repeat what he has saidB．the students bargain with him
C．he pretends to know what he doesn't D．he has to give a speech
63．The passage is mainly organized byB．
A．giving examplesB．describing personal experiences
C．giving different figuresD．making comparisons．
2．Nobody can avoid making a mistake at some point in their life．We might as well accept that something will go wrong and we will be to blame．It is therefore wise to work out some strategies for apologizing，and the best way to apologize is by letter．
We all say or do something that we wish we hadn't said or done．You may say something that accidentally hurts someone，or you may provide a service which doesn't come up to the standards that a client or customer expected．You may feel that it was a genuine mistake which couldn't be avoided． Rather than dwell on the mistake，you should quickly try to remedy（补救） the problem．An effective letter of apology is an important part of that process．
For the content of the letter，just remember TABS-Timing，Action，Briefness，Sincerity．
The time of a letter of apology is important-it must be sent as soon as possible．Any delay in sending the letter will only worsen the problem．In this case"Better late than never"is not the best motto!The longer you wait before writing a letter of apology，the more it will seem that you have been forced into writing it．
Although it is important to recognize what has gone before，it is also essential to detail the action you plan to take to correct whatever you did wrong．
A letter of apology should be brief and the word"sorry"should appear no more than twice．Indicate that you are aware you are using it a second time"once again，I am so sorry for…"or"as I said earlier，I am really sorry about…"
32．What's the passage mainly about？C
A．Advice on making fewer mistakes
B．Strategies for making an apology．
C．Advice on writing a letter of apology
D．Importance of a timely letter of apology．
33．The underlined part in Paragraph 2means youB．
A．don't have to take the mistake you made seriously
B．don't waste time worrying about what happened
C．forget about what happened
D．analyze who was at fault
34．What can we learn from Paragraph 4？A
A．It's important to apologize timely．
B．A mistake is not always easy to clear．
C．People are always unwilling to apologize．
D．People should think twice before apologizing．
35．What will be discussed following the last paragraph？A
A．The sincere tone of the letter．
B．The proper length of the letter．
C．An apology email，choice of the 21st century．
D．The importance of saying"sorry"more than twice．
3．Take a walk
Think that daily walks are exercise for old people？Think again．Taking a fast walk for as little as 30 minutes a day can greatly improve your overall physical health and even have a positive effect on your mental condition．Walking can fit into any guy's lifestyle and is generally considered as a way to stay in shape．Consider the benefits of walking：
Walking helps you maintain a healthy weight．Since the only real way to lose weight is to in-crease the amount of calories you burn，the benefits of fast walking for at least 30 minutes a day help you take off pounds．It may not happen so fast if you run three miles a day，but over time you will find yourself in much better shape than if you spend that half an hour sitting on the couch watching TV or at the computer．
Walking strengthens muscles．When you walk，you work your muscles．In fact，walking brings into motion almost as many muscle groups as running or swimming．You will end up getting similar benefits in your muscle tone as well．
Walking helps to reduce stress and calm your emotions．Psychologists have long known that you feel better after a long walk．Getting your body moving lets out endorphins （内啡肤）that help you deal with tension from a long day or a stressful life．If you put a nice walk at the end of an otherwise stressful routine，you will find a lot of mental benefits that you won't get if you just start to deal with your family responsibilities after a hard day's work．
Adding a daily walk to your routine is not as interesting a choice as finding a tennis partner for three sets or joining a gym and increasing the latest exercise program．But it is a simple 9 healthy and totally free way to add exercise to your day no matter what your schedule or responsibilities．
Title：Take a walk
