Lindsay Binegar of Greenfield, Ohio, made her first $ 100 at the age of four, when she won a prize for showing a pig from her family's farm to the local 4­H Club. Most kids would be thrilled to spend that money on toys, but not Lindsay. “I didn't get the money; it went to the bank,” she told the Columbus Dispatch.

Over the years, Lindsay kept on raising and showing pigs, and kept on winning prizes. Some were $ 100 for small wins, but she won thousands of dollars for championship prizes at county fairs. Before long, she earned an impressive amount of cash—but, aside from a purse when she was 14, Lindsay had never spent a dollar of her savings. By the time she was 18, she had got more than $ 40,000, which she planned to put towards her college education at nearby Ohio University.

But her parents said that if she continued living at home while attending school, they wouldn't have to pay for her dorm housing, and would be willing to cover the entire cost of her education. It sounded like a good deal to Lindsay. But what should she do with her savings?

 Her father had an ideabuy a house, just as he'd done when he was young. He used the house's sale to help him buy the family farm where Lindsay had grown up and raised all those lucrative(赚大钱的) pigs. Lindsay was able to buy a house in Greenfield, paying for the entire purchase in cash. She did a bit of painting and then rented it out for $ 450 a month.

After finishing college, Lindsay plans to marry Heath McNeal, and use the income from her house to buy a block of land and build a new house. But she'll never move too far from home. “I would like to stay in Greenfield,” she said. “I just love everybody here. ”

    At her current rate, she'll probably be the town's biggest real estate tycoon(房地产大亨) by the age of 25.

21What did Lindsay do with her first prize?

A. She kept it as pocket money.

B. It was spent on toys.

C. She used it to buy more pigs.

D. It was put in the bank.

22By the time she was 18, Lindsay had got more than $ 40,000 by ________.

A. winning prizes for raising and showing pigs

B. selling pigs

C. getting the interest from the bank

D. trading houses

23Lindsay's father advised her ________.

A. to pay for her college education with the money

B. to pay the money for her dorm housing

C. to buy a house with the money

D. to save the money for her future life

24What can we learn about Lindsay's parents from the passage?

A. They are very rich.

B. They are considerate.

C. They don't know how to manage money.

D. They don't care for money.

Phonetics Professor Henry Higgins first meets Eliza Doolittle, a flower girl, near the Royal Opera House, late on a cold March night. Eliza is selling flowers. Higgins is out on his endless search for new dialects of London’s speech. 

     Higgins makes a bet with Colonel Pickering that he can turn the cockney(伦敦腔)flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a lady within three months. To do so, he must change her thick London accent, teach her to speak proper English and teach her manners.

     Higgins looks upon her not as a person but as raw material for his experiment. He trains Eliza for weeks. When no progress is made, Eliza, loses her courage, Higgins loses his temper, and even Pickering’s patience wears thin.

     At last she improves. In order to test Eliza, he decides to introduce her to his mother’s guests at the Ascot Race Meeting. Eliza proves to be a success. Pickering and Higgins are very proud, and neither of them takes into account Eliza’s personal accomplishments in the matter. Eliza has absorbed the sophistication(世故) and the courage to see the unfairness of  this, and she blows up, demanding recognition. The Professor is astonished. It is as though a statue has come to life and spoken. Eliza rushes out of the house angrily.

     Higgins discovers that he is hurt because Eliza leaves him. He meets her at his mother’s flat where she has gone for advice. They argue violently and she storms out. It is only a moment after her departure that Higgins finally wakes up to the fact that Eliza has become an entirely independent and admirable human being. He realizes that he will have a difficult time getting on without her.

25. From the passage we can see that ___________.    

  A. Eliza has made rapid progress during the first week

  B. turning Eliza into a "lady" is not an easy job

  C. Higgins gives up when no progress is made    

  D. Pickering often loses his temper when teaching Eliza

26. What does the underlined phrase "blow up" mean in this passage?

  A. To become very excited.         B. To be very disappointed.

  C. To become very angry.            D. To be very interested.

27. Why is Higgins astonished when Eliza demands recognition?

  A. Because he thought Eliza was only a statue.

  B. Because his mother’s friends don’t like Eliza at all.

  C. Because he thinks highly of Eliza’s personal achievements.

  D. Because he didn’t realize that Eliza had become an independent person.

Our world is a noisy place, but quiet places remain. Eight years ago, audio (声音的) engineer Gordon Hempton identified the quietest place in the continental United States. He calls the place “One Square Inch of Silence.” He has used his symbolic spot in a northwestern rain forest to campaign against noise pollution. But the self-described “Sound Tracker” is now going deaf.

      For Gordon Hempton, it started with an experience known to many people. “I was lying in the bed in the springtime about a year ago. The sun was shining. The birds could be singing. They should be singing. But I was hearing none. I knew my life was going to be different.”

      Hempton’s eyes get watery as he describes his cruel situation. More than 20 years ago he trademarked his nickname as “The Sound Tracker.” Sharp hearing defined his career as an Emmy award winning sound recordist. It also led to his activism against noise pollution. He has circled the globe three times in search of the perfect sounds of nature.

      Hempton says his hearing loss is quickly getting worse but he has to finish his project.

      “I am running a race to finish the Quiet Planet collection.” That’s the title of a planned 19-volume set of nature recordings. The sound tracks could be licensed for use in movies, video games, exhibits, plays and the like. Volunteer assistants now help Hempton review and edit sound files and identify imperfections.

      The exact cause of his hearing loss is not clear. Doctors say it may be the result of an infection, or a tumor (肿瘤) or a combination of things. Hempton is self-employed. His health care plan does not pay for hearing loss treatment. So, for now, he’s directing his attention to completing his “greatest hits” album. “After I get it finished, I have an economic cash flow to get my hearing back. That’s the first thing on my to-do list.” He’s hopeful his hearing loss can be recovered.

32. How did Gordon Hempton feel when he knew his ears were going deaf?

    A. Curious.        B. Sad   C. Annoyed.         D. Inspired. 

33. What contributed most to his successful career?

    A. Travelling experiences.                    B. His reliable assistants.

    C. His sharp hearing.                     D. The sounds of nature.

34. What is Gordon Hempton doing now?

A. Listening to the birds in the forest.  

B. Working on the Quiet Planet collection.

C. Doing activities for noise pollution.           

D. Receiving medical care in the hospital.

35. What may be the best title of the text?

A. Searching for the sound of nature.             

B. Hoping to get the hearing back.

C. Deaf fighter against noise pollution.           

D. Successful Sound-Tracker going deaf.

When Pat picked up the receiver, her face became the only bright spot in that gloomy(阴沉)day.

It was our son, David, an army helicopter pilot. Three months   36  , he had begun a one-year assignment in South Korea. David made an effort to sound   37  , but his voice suggested homesickness.

  38   a booming clap of thunder shook the windows only inches  39  the phones Pat and I were using.

“What was that?” David asked, “It sounded like a(n)   40   .”

“Just thunder,” Pat said, “It’s been raining here all week.”

There were several seconds of   41  . “David,” I asked, “Are you still there?”

“I was   42   what Mother said‘Just thunder.’  43   parents, do you know what many of the men here  44   most of all? Thunder. We have rain, wind, snow and some violent storms, but it  45  thunders.”

“I wish I were there now to listen with you,” he said softly.

  46  I hung up the phone, I got my tape recorder, my large umbrella and a wooden chair and   47   out. I sat in the driving rain under my umbrella and   48   half an hour of the finest Mississippi thunder a   49  man could ever want to hear. The next day I mailed the tape to David with a single line: “A(n)  50  gift.”

Three weeks later David called again, “Dad,” he said, “You won’t  51  what I did last night. I   52  some friends over to my quarters(营房)for a thunder party. When we heard the tape, we all   53   the same way. Instant silence, followed by a few minutes of   54  . But once we realized we were listening to the sounds of   55  , we felt better and enjoyed a great party. I can’t tell you how much that tape meant to me.”

Some years ago on a hot summer day in South Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house.

In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went.   56   His mother saw the two as they got closer and closer together in the house, looking out of the window.   57   Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a return to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him. From the shore, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile seized his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war between the two.  58   A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the crocodile. Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal and, on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother's fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.   59   The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter. “ But look at my arms.   60    I have them because my mom wouldn't let go.”

You and I can identify with that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from a crocodile, or anything quite so dramatic. But, the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friend, are because God has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, he's been there holding on to you.

A. I love my mother very much.

B. I have great scars on my arms, too.

C. The mother managed to pull her son from the water at last.

D. The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show him his scars.

E. The crocodile was much stronger than the mother, but the mother didn’t let go.

F. He flew into the water, not realizing that a crocodile was swimming toward him.

G. Dead scared, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could.
