A
Audrey Hepburn won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.
Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey’s father was British and her mother was Dutch. Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War II, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员). So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies. But it was Audrey Hepburn’s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.
Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tifany’s in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.
She was married two times and had one son by each husband. In 1989, the UN Children’s Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会) projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects. Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War II. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.
21. In Paragraph 1, “her aid work” means ___________.
A. winning an Academy Award as Best B. taking acting parts in stage shows Actress
C. making her own movies D. acting as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF

C. Audrey was made to give up dancing
D. the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play was her most popular role

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(养马场). He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events. The last time I was there he introduced me by saying: “I want to tell you a story. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.
He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’
The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive an F?’ The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’
4 D. ①②⑤③④
The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’ Finally, after a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’ ”
Monty then turned to the group present and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two years ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, ‘Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough courage not to give up yours.’ ”
“Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what,” Monty at last concluded.
25. The teacher asked the boy to rewrite the paper because __________.
A. the boy was too poor to achieve his dream
B. the teacher doubted his chance of success
C. the boy was not good enough to achieve his goal
D. the teacher looked down on the boy absolutely
the words before
leaving the ranch two years ago?
A. Regretful and proud.
C. Honest and sorry.
A. the boy was an unrealistic person
B. the boy’s father was irresponsible for his education C. the boy had great courage and determination
D. the teacher often found fault with his students
28. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Set a practical goal
C. Prove yourself through success B. Regretful and guilty. D. Embarrassed and proud. 26. Which of the following could best express the teacher’s feelings when she said 27. From the passage we can conclude that __________. B. Try to be realistic D. Keep your dream
C
Why Are Pig Farmers Still Using Growth-Promoting Drugs?
It’ s one of the most controversial practices in agriculture: feeding small amounts of antibiotics to animals in order to make them grow faster. But what if the drugs don’ 5
t even work very well? There’ s some good evidence that they don’ t, at least in pigs. They used to deliver a boost in growth, but that effect has disappeared in recent years or declined greatly. The reason for this is interesting and even paradoxical. Researchers think the antibiotics used to work by suppressing low-grade infections. In recent years, however, pork producers found other ways to accomplish the same thing through improved hygiene (卫生). As a result, the drugs have become largely superfluous — yet many farmers still use them.
To understand how this happened, you have to step back in time, says Steve Dritz, a specialist in pig nutrition at Kansas State University. Sixty years ago, when antibiotics were new, “people started treating animals, and feeding the antibiotics, and finding that they had increased growth rates and feed efficiencies,” he says. Nursery-age pigs, for instance, grew 12 to 15 percent faster with antibiotics. The animals also needed less feed to reach full weight. Other studies showed similar results in chickens and cattle. In the 1980s, a new set of studies found similar effects. So the growth-promoting effects of antibiotics became standard practice among meat producers. Fast forward to the 1990s. Dritz was starting his career as a scientist at Kansas State University, and pork production was changing dramatically.
Previously, pigs were born and raised in one barn or in several barns close together. This meant infections could easily pass from one generation to the next, the way that kids share germs between their friends on the playground and their parents at home. Under the new system, when piglets are weaned, they move to a whole different place. That new site is carefully scrubbed and free of disease.
Craig Rowles, who runs a large swine operation in Carroll, Iowa, shows me one such room. There’s not a piglet in sight. “This room just got completely washed and disinfected, and now it’ s going to sit here and dry for a while,” he says.
A whole group of pigs will come in here together, and later they will move out together to yet another site. “That group of pigs will stay together until they go to market,” Rowles says.
The groups are kept strictly separated from each other. If workers move between the groups, they first have to change their boots.
When farmers adopted multisite production, it cut down on disease — and pigs actually grew faster.
29. One of the advantages of using antibiotics in the past is that it __________.
A. helped animals grow faster B. decreased the death rate of animals
C. helped animals have a better appetite D. increased animal reproduction
30. Pigs were more easily infected in the past because __________.
A. they used antibiotics
B. they were always close together 6
C. they were raised on the playground
A. abused
A. optimistic B. necessary B. worried D. they moved from one farm to another C. available C. doubtful
D D. addictive D indifferent 31. The underlined word “superfluous” most probably means __________. 32. The author seems __________ on the issue of dropping antibiotics on pigs.

Then he began 54 .
Before long, the young violinist was 55 with people, who were all attracted by the 56 on that paper, which said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put something important into my hat 57 . Please come to claim(认领) it soon.” After half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and 58 through the crowd to the violinist and said, “Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would 59 come here.” “Are you Mr. George Sang?” The man nodded.
“Did you 60 something?”
“Lottery (彩票). It’s lottery,” said the man.
The violinist 61 a lottery ticket on which George Sang’ s name was seen. “Is it？” he asked.

Moreover, continuous learning is 74 it takes to keep pace with the times in the Information Age.
School is where we 75 (teach), but it is by no means the only workshop for learning. On the contrary, learning should be 76 never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. In a 77 (rapid) changing world, to stop learning for just a few days will make a person fall behind. What’s worse, the animal nature 78 (hide) deep in our mind will come to life, 79 can weaken our determination to achieve success. Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning 80 a lifelong career.
