And 36 otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.‎ All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 41 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.‎ Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first started 43 the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much 44 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 46 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 47 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 48 “just yet”.‎ I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive ‎50 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!‎ With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “‎53”‎ in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 54 raising my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.‎ ‎36. A. as B. until C. unless D. though ‎37. A. hoped B. agreed C. meant D. chose ‎38. A. continued B. changed C. settled D. started ‎39.

I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time,I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community（社区）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.‎ In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this.I deeided to realize my dream,even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.‎ On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air ballon. I was just enjoying it.‎ Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.‎ ‎56. What happened to the auther in 2001?[高考资源网KS5U.COM]‎ A. She flew an airplane B.

I also love my laptop computer ，as it holds all of my writing and thoughts .Despite this love of technology ,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices（设备） and truly communicat with others.‎ On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas .Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom ,I have a rule —no laptop ,iPads ,phones ,etc .When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy .‎ Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology . There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology . There’s no truth in that at all . I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.‎ The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas . I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion .‎ I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create .Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge , they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom .‎ I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change ,I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.‎ ‎63.Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____‎ A. the course material B. others’ misuse of technology ‎ C. discussion topics D. the author’s class regulations ‎ ‎64.The underlined word “engage ”in para.4 probably means ____‎ A. explore B. accept C. change D. reject ‎ ‎65.According to the author ,the use of technology in the classroom may ____‎ A. keep students from doing independent thinking ‎ B. encourage students to have in-depth conversations C. help students to better understand complex themes ‎ D. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation ‎66.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____‎ A. is quite stubborn ‎ B. will give up teaching history ‎ C. will change his teaching plan soon ‎ D. values technology-free dialogues in his class ‎ ‎【文章大意】议论文，文章论述的主题是，"students and technology"，文章以教师的口吻谈到为何不允许学生在课堂上玩ipad、手机等通讯工具，因为technology会影响我们的深入交流。‎ ‎63.答案D。细节理解题。由文章第二段内容可以得出。‎ ‎64.答案A。细节理解题，由I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. 可知technology会影响我们深入的交流。Engage与explore探索意义表述与之为吻合。‎ ‎65.答案A。推理判断题。Students realize that with dep conwersation and challenge,they leam at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom..可以推知作者认为technology 会阻碍我们的独立思考能力。‎ ‎66.推理判断题。由文章最后一段作者深信自己的technology会影响我们的深入交流。并且坚信 持她的values technology-free dialogues in his class的观点。‎ D As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electhical generating（发电）and transmission（输送）systen for the 21th century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the suurouding community. The same is true of big solar ppants and the power lines that will be laid dowm to move electricity around.‎ The 19th century saw land grants（政府拨地）offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads ,leaving public land in between privately owned land . In much of the west ,some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped ,and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management ,with the completion or the interstate highway system ,many of the small towns which sprang up as railway stops and developed well ,have lost their lifeblood and died .‎ Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the west .this is not an argument against building then ,we need alternative energy badly .and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now .‎ So trade-offs will have to be made .some scenic sport will be sacrificed .some species (物种)will be forced to move ,or will be carefully moved to special accommodations ,deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects .‎ The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter .the 21st century development of the American west as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money to do a lot of good .but it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind ,just like the railroad and the highway .‎ The money set aside in negotiated trade –offs and the institution that control will shape the west far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines .so let’s remember the effects of the railroad and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the west .‎ ‎67.What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways ?‎ A. Small towns along the railways became abandoned.‎ B. Some railroad stops remained underused.‎ C. Land in the West was hard to manage.‎ D. Land grants went into private hands.‎ ‎68.What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs ?‎ A. The transmission of power. B. The use of money and power. ‎ C. The conservation of solar energy. D. The selection of an ideal place. ‎ ‎69.What is the author ‘s attitude towards building solar plants ?‎ A. Cautious B. Approving C. Doubtful D. Disapproving ‎ ‎70.Which is the best title for the passage ?‎ A. How the Railways Have Affected the West ‎ B. How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West ‎ C. How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced ‎ D. How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled ‎【文章大意】说明文。文章说明的是一种新的太阳能电力系统是如何或好或坏的影响美国西部地区的。‎ ‎67.答案C。细节理解题。由文章第二段in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management ,with the completion or the interstate highway system可知。‎ ‎68.答案B。细节理解题。由文章alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and ‎69答案A,态度题。作者由铁路和高速公路在西部建设过程中出现的好的和坏的影响来说明solar plants 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ A. Rather Public speaking and critical thinking What is critical thinking ? to a certain degree ,it’s a matter of logic （逻辑）—of being able to spot weaknesses in other people ‘s argument and to avoid them in your own ,it also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence .‎ In the broad sense ,critical thinking is focused ,organized thinking –the ability to see clearly ‎ their lationships among ideas. 71 the greatest thinkers ,scientists ,and inventors have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas.that,too,is critical thinking.‎ ‎ 72 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical（机械的）exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking. If the stucture of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also discovered and confused. If, on the other hand ,the stucture is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not a matter of arraging the ideas your already have. 73‎ What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will Improve your ability to think clearly and accutately. 75 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class. You will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.‎ If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as critical thinker in many circumstances.
