14.Thirteen can be a challenging age.Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body,I also had to deal with my parents'bitter divorce,a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded town.
When we moved,my beloved companion,a small brown pony had to be sold.I was heartbroken and terribly lonely.I couldn't eat or sleep and cried all the time.Finally,realizing how much I missed my pony,my father bought me another horse,Cowboy.
Cowboy was without doubt the ugliest horse in the world.But I didn't care.I loved him beyond all reasons.
I joined a riding club.When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance,we were quickly"shown the gate".I knew nothing could turn Cowboy into a beauty.My only chance to compete would be in the timed speed events.I chose the jumping race.
For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home,totally exhausted.
All of our hard work didn't make me feel confident by the time the show came.One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events.She always won the blue ribbons.I sat at the gate and sweated all out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place.
My turn finally came.At the signal,we dashed toward the first fence,jumped over it without trouble and raced on to the next one.Cowboy then flew over the second,third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.
No cheers filled the air.The end of our run was met with surprised silence.Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds.
I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day.At thirteen,I realized that no matter what the odds,I'd always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.I can be the owner of my fate.

21.Why did the author like Cowboy so much in spite of its ugliness?B
A.Because she loved horses more than anything else.
B.Because she was sad and lonely and needed a companion.
C.Because Cowboy had a lot in common with her pony.
D.Because Cowboy was a strong and smart young horse.
22.The audience fell into silence at the end of the run probably becauseC.
A.they didn't like cowboy,for it was too ugly
B.they were unhappy that Becky was beaten in the event
C.they didn't expect Cowboy would win the event
D.they never saw a horse running as fast as Cowboy
23.After the competition,the author came to realize thatC.
A.she ought to gather the courage to solve all the problems
B.it was time to forget her pony and treat Cowboy better
C.she could be the god of her own fate if she tried hard enough
D.she needed to work harder to win more blue ribbons
24.It can be inferred from the story thatB.
A.all of their hard training was totally in vain
B.Cowboy lost in the event of being judged by appearance
C.a blue ribbon must be the second highest prize
D.both Becky and the author won in the jumping event.

5.Virginia is set to begin enforcing the toughest drunken-driving punishment,one that will require thousands of first-time offenders-whether they were highly drunk or slightly over the limit-to install in their cars blood-alcohol testing devices that can lock the ignition.The devices work like this-A driver must blow into a blood alcohol device linked to the car's ignition.If the result is higher than the legal limit,the car will not start.The device also requires random"rolling retests"once the driver is on the road.
Virginia's current law requires only repeated offenders or those with a blood alcohol level of 0.15 or higher to have an ignition interlock device in their cars.
    The new law,which takes effect in July,will roughly increase the number of people required to use ignition interlock devices four times,and offenders will have to pay about $ 480 for a typical six-month installation.
    The measure has caused a debate between groups battling drunken driving and those representing offenders.Such groups as Mother Against Drunken Driving and The Washington Regional Alcohol Program say that Virginia's 274 alcohol-related road deaths and more than 5,500 injuries in 2010 remained unacceptably high despite years of cracking down on drunken driving.Ignition interlock devices,they say,reduce repeat offenses.But some public defenders and lawyers argue that the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders at the legal blood alcohol limit 0.08,and that the court system will be burdened by more cases going to trial and lower-income drivers will be affected by the fees.
    Del.Sal R.Iaquinto,who sponsored the bill,had a simple reply for concerns about the costs of the interlock devises:"How much does a life cost?""Blowing into a tube for six months,you will remember that,"Iaquinto said,"And you're not likely to offend again."
66.The underlined word"ignition"in Paragraph 1 probably refers to the part in a car whereB.
A.the alarm goes off    
B.the engine starts  
C.the door opens    
D.the car is fueled
67.Who are required to install the blood alcohol devices according to the current law?C
A.The first time drunken-driving offenders.
B.The drivers who are not able to pay offence fees.
C.The repeat drunken-driving offenders.
D.Drivers whose blood alcohol level is below 0.15.
68.The reason why some defenders and lawyers oppose the new law is thatD.
A.fewer cases go to trial
B.lower-income drivers will not afford to drink again
C.interlock devices increase repeat offenses
D.the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders
69.The debate aroused by the measure implies thatB.
A.prevention is better than cure               
B.no law is absolutely perfect
C.punishment is the key to all             
D.justice has long arms
70.What is Del.Sal R.Iaquinto's attitude towards the new law?D
A.Negative
B.Indifferent
C.flexible
D.workable.
3.It happened to me recently.I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was,in his words,"a brilliantly (精彩地)written book".However,he then went on to talk about Mr.Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that my friend is not the only one.Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't.In the World Book Day's"Report on Guilty Secrets",Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books,and various authors,which people have lied about reading,and as I'm not one to lie too often (I'd hate to be caught out),I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten.But I am pleased to say that,unlike 42percent of people,I have read the book at number one,George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it.It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen,Charles Dickens,Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven't read him,but haven't lied about it either) and Herman Melville.
Asked why they lied,the most common reason was to"impress"someone they were speaking to.Thiscould be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy,people named J.K.Rowling,John Grisham,Sophie Kinsella (ah,the big sellers,in other words).Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I'll come clean:I do this and am astonished that 58percent said they had never done so).

32.How did the author find his friend a book liar?D
A.By judging his manner of speaking.
B.By looking into his background.
C.By mentioning a famous name.
D.By discussing the book itself.
33.Which of the following is a"guilty secret"according to the World Book Day report?B
A.Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.
B.42% of people pretended to have read 1984.
C.The author admitted having read 9books.
D.Dreams From My Father is hardly read.
34.By lying about reading,a person hopes toB.
A.control the conversation                               
B.appear knowledgeable
C.learn about the book                                     
D.make more friends
35.What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers?C
A.Favorable.
B.Uncaring                 
C.Doubtful                  
D.Friendly.
