Joe and Helen Mills had two small children. One was six and the other four. They always resisted going to bed, and Helen was always complaining (抱怨) about this and asking Joe for help. But as he did not come home until after they had gone to bed during the week, he was unable to help except at weekends.

Joe considered himself a good singer, but really his voice was not at all musical. However, he decided that, if he sang to the children when they went to bed, it would help them to relax, and they would soon go to sleep.

The year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single-engined aero plane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter (高度表) failed and she didn’t know how high she was flying. At night, and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. At times, her plane nearly plunged (冲) into the sea.

Just before dawn, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed fire coming from the engine. Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except to keep going and to hope.

In the end, Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the courage she had shown, she was warmly welcomed in England and Europe. When she returned to the United States, she was honored by President Hoover at a special dinner in the White House. From that time on, Amelia Earhart was famous.

What was so important about her flight? Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean alone, and she had set a record of fourteen hours and fifty-six minutes.

In the years that followed, Amelia Earhart made several flights across the United States, and on each occasion she set a new record for flying time. Amelia Earhart made these flights to show that women had a place in aviation (航空) and that air travel was useful.

64. Which of the following statements is NOT the difficulty which Amelia Earhart met in her flight from North America to England?

A. She was caught in a storm. B. The altimeter went out of order.

C. Her engine went wrong. D. She lost her direction.

65. When Amelia Earhart saw fire coming from the engine, what did she do?

A. She did nothing but pray for herself.

B. She changed her direction and landed in Ireland.

C. She continued flying.

D. She lost hope of reaching land.

66. According to the passage, what was Amelia Earhart’s reason for making her flights?

A. To set a new record for flying time.

B. To be the first woman to fly around the world.

C. To show that aviation was not just for men.

D. To become famous in the world.

67. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Amelia Earhart—First Across the Atlantic

B. Amelia Earhart—Pioneer in Women’s Aviation

C. A New Record for Flying Time

D. A Dangerous Flight from North America to England

People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive carelessly up and down America’s main streets. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.

I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral(葬礼) which happened in a church. A teenage grandson stepped forward. Softly he began:“I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would attack her, what would Nana say? ‘Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has.’ That was Nana.

“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpa’s career,” he said, with a voice now trembling. “That was Nana’s way.” Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up a fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”

There are no hearts as sensitive(敏感的) as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled. When that boy rose to speak about the woman who had been his dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide. I was moved and learned a lot.

68. According to the paragraph, what does “light” stand for?

A. not heavy

B. the positive side of things

C. a device for lighting or igniting fuel or charges or fires

D. having a relatively small amount of coloring agent

69. From the boy’s speech, we know his grandmother ______.

A. was a weak woman living in the shadow of his grandpa

B. liked dogs very much even if they often attacked her

C. could see everything around her though she was old

D. had great influence over the boy when she was alive

70. We can infer from the passage that the boy ______.

A. was filled with sadness and gave up finishing his talk

B. was always very good at expressing himself

C. practiced a lot in order to give a moving speech

D. had great difficulty in accepting the loss of Nana

71. The writer wanted to tell the readers ______.

A. the young people were too weak to face certain facts

B. the young people have learned to control themselves

C. the adults could learn something valuable from the young

D. the adults should teach the young how to deal with the death

第二节 阅读下面短文，用完整句子回答72—74小题，并对75小题的陈述进行判断。

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes(撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!

Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast-moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.

There are two sides of their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress(床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!

But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman's success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.

Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff(悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute(降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed.

In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls too!

72. Please define(给…下定义) “stuntman”.

___________________________________________________________________________

73. What do you think is the most important factor of a successful performance for stuntmen?

___________________________________________________________________________

74. What can be inferred (推断出) from the author's example of the Norwegian stuntman?

___________________________________________________________________________

75. Please decide if these statements are True (T) or False (F).

1)Most of those stunt actors do their jobs for a living. ____

2)The windows those stuntmen crash through are made of plastic. ____

3)The jobs of stuntmen are well paid and safe since there is a lot of protection for them.____

4)There are only men who are doing the stunt performance. ____
