I will never forget the very moment that caused me to leave my gift behind because I wanted the gift that my older sister Maria had．
My family was spending a week at the beach．One morning，Maria went to the beach early，but I stayed behind to finish a drawing of a seashell．After finishing the drawing，I walked to join Maria．She was a top gymnast （体操运动员）．Her show was perfect as she wheeled along the beach．The beauty of that sight froze me，and I decided immediately that I too would become a gymnast like her．
I knew that I had never been very good at sports．However，when I told my parents I wanted to take a gymnastics class，they agreed with me in surprise．The next week，I went to a beginners'class．
If only my parents had talked me out of this misguided plan!Five minutes into the first class，it was clear that I didn't have the gift of a gymnast．But I kept at it．
During this time，drawing and painting-which had been my two favorites-all but left my mind．It must have been hurting for my family as they watched my hopeless efforts．I blindly decided to be like Maria．I just would not give up．
At the same time，on the advice of Ms．White，my art teacher，I hurriedly handed in my seashell drawing for an art contest in our town．One night as I was having a hard time practicing，the phone rang．It was Ms．White．"Alice，you won the contest!"she said loudly．
"Really？"was all I could reply．
"Yes，"Ms．White said．"They're going to give you a prize．And that's not all．The winner is also accepted into Wildale's Summer Fine Arts Institute．"I couldn't believe what I heard．Only a handful of young artists were accepted each summer．
That night I didn't go back into the living room to continue practicing．Gymnastics was Maria's gift，not mine．It had taken me a while，but I realized that I had a gift of my own．

54．Alice wanted to be a gymnast becauseB．
A．she had been good at sports
B．her sister's show was perfect
C．she hated drawing and painting
D．her parents wanted her to do so
55．How did Alice feel about learning gymnastics at last？D

A．Alice's parents disagreed with her choice of gymnastics
B．Alice did not realize her gift in drawing and painting at first
C．Alice spent a hard time preparing for the art contest in the town
D．Alice couldn't believe the news that she got the prize for painting
57．What does the writer want to tell us according to the passage？A
A．We should value our own gifts．
B．It takes time to find one's gifts．
C．We could develop different gifts．
D．It's never too late to show our gifts．

It is said that another acre of the world's forest will be destroyed forever．Why is this happening？There are two reasons-land and wood．In many countries the trees have been cut down because the land was needed for animals or crops．In other parts of the world the trees are cut down because their wood is wanted．This wood is used by local people for firewood or it is used for building．But many people don't know that in most places the trees won't be replaced．The soil in the forests is very thin，but it is protected by the trees．When the trees are cut down，the soil is washed away by the rain or blown away by the wind．Soon nothing can be grown on it．The  forest becomes a desert．Then more land will be needed，and more trees will be cut down．
When the forest is destroyed，it isn't only the trees that are lost-the homes of millions of animals and plants are destroyed，too．All kinds of animals are in danger-fish，reptiles，birds，mammals，insects，and shellfish-as well as thousands of plants．
Who is to blame for this？The answer is simple：all of us．There are just too many people in the world．The world's population is now six billion．Of course，it's very easy to blame the local people．We don't cut down trees．They do．But the products are bought by people like you and me-wood houses，beds，tables，chairs，paper…Why are the forests being destroyed？Just look around．You are probably using it right now．

51．People cut down large areas of trees in order toD．
A．grow crops
B．keep animals
C．build houses
D．get land and wood
52．In most places，Bafter trees are cut down．
A．new trees can grow better
B．forests will become deserts
C．most animals can live there
D．people build new house there
53．According to the passage，we shouldA to protect the forest．
A．use fewer wood products
B．plant more trees
C．blame the local people
D．protect the soil．

Recent research from the Pew Internet Project suggests that 90% of Americans aged from 12to 17use the Internet，and 51% of those teens use social networks．However，there are many possible problems with social networking sites and the teenagers who use them．
Apart from the social advantages，social networking sites can be used to record school research，develop artistic talents and experiment with other forms of subject creation．They provide a way to communicate with others who share the same interests and to get helpful advice on ongoing projects．
Along with these advantages come some dangers．For example，most social networking sites are open to all，especially MySpace，which is the most popular social network among teens in America．It means that they could be put in unpleasant and frightening situations．
A greater danger is that teens may become objects of the people with secret purposes．The secrecy of some social networking sites makes it easy for dangerous people to find young teens and invite them into dangerous conversations．It's easy for them to pretend as teens and draw children into dangerous real-world communication as well．Then further hurt might be on its way．
Another danger is identity stealing，which can happen when teens share too much information about their names，dates of birth and locations．
Therefore，it's very important to make sure teens are safe when they use social networks．
Many of the same rules that work for online chat work for these sites：
※Don't use your real name．
※Don't give out personal information to people you don't know．A last name and a town
are enough for a bad guy to find where you are．
※Don't believe that people are who they say to be．
※Immediately end any communication that makes you uncomfortable and report it to a
parent．
Only if you are sure of your safety，can you enjoy the fun brought by social networking．Besides，trying to deal with all problems on your own can lead to terrible results．Remember，asking your parents or school officials for help doesn't mean you are unable to do anything but wiser than many others．

55．How many dangers of using social networks are mentioned in the passage？B
A.2．
B.3．
C.4．
D.5．
56．The writer takes MySpace as an example to show thatB．
A．students could be put into unreal situations on the Internet
B．teenagers are facing unknown dangers on the social networks
C．Internet provides more social websites to American teenagers
D．social networks are very popular among teenagers in America
57．We can infer from the passage thatA．
A．the dangers are similar when chatting online and surfing social networks
B．more than half American teenagers aged from 12to 17use social networks
C．teens who ask for help are wiser when meeting problems on social networks
D．there are more disadvantages than advantages for teens to use social networks．

2．Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be．Places of business that used to keep daytime"business hours"are now open late into the night．And on the Internet，the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant（不相关的）．A half century ago in the United States，most people experienced dividing lines between days of rest and days of work，school time and summer time．Today the boundaries（界限） are still present，but they seem not clear．
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday； in most，it no longer does．It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer，in most，it still does．And whether the work week should strengthen（加强） its legal limits（法律限制），or whether it should become more"practical"is often discussed．How should we，as a society，arrange our time？Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other？
These are not easy questions even to ask．Part of the difficulty is that we seldom care about the"law of time"even when we meet it face to face．We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours，a certain number of days，a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer （督学），we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom（习惯） and parents'demand（要求） rather than to the law．As adults we are used to"extra（额外的） pay for overtime working"，but less used to the fact that"overtime"is a matter of legal definition．When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time，have we ever thought to ourselves；"Here is the law in action"？As we shall see，there is a lot of law that has great influence on how to arrange and use time：compulsory education law，overtime law，and daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing，holidays，being late to work，time zones，and so on．Once we begin to look for it，we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess（评价）．

49．What does"in most，it no longer does．"in Paragraph 2mean？B
A．Most states require stores to be open on Sunday now．
B．Most states do not require stores to close on Sunday now．
C．Stores are no longer open on Sunday in most of the states now．
D．Stores no longer close on Sunday in most of the states now．

A．fail to make full use of their time
B．enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C．do not care about the law of time
D．welcome practical working hours
51．According to the passage，most children go to school because theyB．
A．need to learn knowledge

20．Farmer Ed Rawlings smiles as he looks at his orange trees．The young oranges are growing well in Florida's weather．Warm sunshine and gentle rains，along with Ed Rawlings'expert care，will produce a good crop（收成）of oranges this year．
However，Ed has to guard against Florida's changeable winter weather．In January and February，temperatures can destroy Ed's entire orange crop．Having farmed in Florida for the past 35years，Ed is prepared for the frost（霜）．When temperatures drop below freezing，Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees．The water freezes and forms a thin layer（层） of ice around the trees．Strange as it may sound，this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm．
What happens is simple．When the trees are watered，the water loses heat and becomes ice．The warmth of the heat it loses is taken in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level．Ed has effectively used this method to save many orange crops．
But Ed still faces difficulties．The trees must be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point．Also，just the right quantity（数量）of water must be used．Too much water can form a thicker layer of ice that will break the tree's branches（树枝）．Another difficulty is that wind blows away the heat，so Ed has to worry about not only when but also how often his trees should be watered，and how much water should be used．
Computer technology may help Ed with some of these worries．With equipment（设备），air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured．The information is fed into a computer which can calculate（计算） when the temperature will drop below freezing．The computer can correctly decide the quantity of water to be used and how frequently the trees should be watered．Ed finds looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer，and，his customers will have the benefits（利益） of computer-age oranges．

58．The passage is mainly aboutA．
A．a farmer expert cares for his orange trees
B．the different uses of computers
C．growing oranges in Florida's changeable weather
D．different ways of frost protection
59．Ed tries to protect his crop byC
A．using a wind machine to drive away the cold air
B．equipping his orange trees with a computer
C．watering it at the proper time
D．picking his fruit at the first sign of frost
60．According to the passage，the computer technologyD．
A．removes the need for frost protection
B．prevents temperature from dropping
C．tells farmers why outdoor temperatures change
D．helps the farmer get a better harvest．
