I’ve often puzzled over something that happened to me one winter when I was eigh
题型：不详难度：来源：
There was a 32 near our house. In winter it was the greatest 33 place in the world. One 34 all I wanted to do was go skating. I had been waiting for weeks 35 the water was frozen solid. Mom had one rule: “Never ice-skate alone.” But I couldn’t 36 any longer that afternoon. So I 37 my skates under my coat and ran to the pond. Several people were skating near the shore, and some kids were playing hockey．I was not really 38 ．
The hockey game had attracted 39 audience, so I skated in the other direction until their cheering 40 . But another noise came soon. The ice was cracking beneath me. Freezing water 41 my body, and I sank like a rock. My feet 42 the bottom. Just when I thought I wouldn’t last another 43 , I felt a tap on my shoulder. “Don’t worry,” someone said. I swung my 44 around. I couldn’t see anybody. But I heard the voice again，“Push your feet into the bottom and you’ll shoot straight up to the surface.” I did as I was told and 45 . I crawled to the shore and lay down, 46 ．The next thing I knew was people were 47 around me, covering me with coats.
When I awoke, I was home in my own bed. Mom sat next to me, 48
my hand. “I saw nobody there. It must be an angel that came to my 49 ．” I said. Mom smiled, “I just thank God you’re safe.”For a long time I thought I would 50 a more realistic explanation if I just thought hard, but I never did.

He is the unknown shooter. The nameless, faceless triggerman who put a bullet in the head of the world’s most notorious（臭名昭著的）terrorist, Bin Laden.
He’s likely between the ages of 26 and 33, says Marcinko, founder of the “SEALs Team 6” that many believe led the attack on Bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan. He’ll be old enough to have had time to hurdle the extra training tests required to join the counter-terrorism unit, yet young enough to stand the body-punishing harshness of the job. The shooter’s a man, it’s safe to say, because there are no women in the SEALs. And there’s a good chance he’s white, though the SEALs have stepped up efforts to increase the number of minorities in their ranks, Marcinko and Smith say.
He was probably a high school or college athlete, Smith says, a physical specimen who combines strength, speed and wisdom. “They call themselves ‘tactical athletes,’” says Smith, who works with many future SEALs in his Heroes of Tomorrow training program in Severna Park. “It’s getting very scientific.”
Marcinko puts it in more conventional terms: “He’ll be ripped,” says the author of the best-selling autobiography “Rogue Warrior.”“He’s got a lot of upper-body strength. Long arms. Thin waist. Flat stomach.”
On this point, Greitens departs a bit. “You can’t make a lot of physical assumptions,” says the author of “The Heart and the Fist: The Education of a Humanitarian, the Making of a Navy SEAL.” There are SEALs who are 5 feet 4 and SEALs who are 6 feet 5, Greitens says. In his training group, he adds, there were college football boys who couldn’t hack it; those who survived were most often men in good shape, but they also had a willingness to show their concerns in favor of the mission.
The shooter’s probably not the crew-cut（平头）, neatly shaven ideal we’ve come to expect from American fighting forces. “He’s bearded, rough-looking, like a street naughty boy,” Marcinko supposes. “You don’t want to stick out.” Marcinko calls it “modified grooming standards.”
His hands will be calloused（长老茧）, Smith says, or just rough enough,” as Marcinko puts it. And “he’s got frag in him somewhere,” Marcinko says, using the battlefield shorthand for “fragments” of bullets or explosive devices. This will not have been the shooter’s first adventure. Marcinko estimates that he might have made a dozen or more deployments（部署）, tours when he was likely to have dealt with quite a number of dangerous situations, getting ready any time for explosive devices or bullets.
小题1:Which of the following is most likely to be the title of the passage?
| A．Who shot Bin Laden? | B．What do the SEALS do? |

| B．the writer is a person who is curious about the shooter |

①. Marcinko ②. Greitens ③. Smith ④. Abbottabad
| A．①④ | B．③④ | C．②③ | D．①② |
His father was not so pleased and made his feelings known as he and Stephen were on their daily walk. It was the first step in his plans for Stephen to take over the estate（地产）when the time came, and although Stephen was well aware of this, he could think of no reason not to accompany him.
"Thought you"d forgotten that nonsense. Still, I dare say I could pull a few strings to get you to the Army..."
"No, Father! I have told you I want to learn to fly. What chance would I have to do that in the Army? I"d be better off in the Navy——at least they"ve got the Fleet Air Arm. But I have been put in the RAF and that"s where I want to be, so let"s leave it at that." His face went red. Sent to his father"s school and then to Cambridge, much to his satisfaction, he had never had to defend his own desires and his father was a hard man to oppose.
The father glared at Stephen, "No, I won"t leave it at that. I want to know what other ridiculous ideas are in your head. For a start, what"s all this about America?"
"America?"
"Yes. All those books I saw in your room the other day. Brochures about emigration（移民）．"
The big, silvered head lo
wered, like that of a bull about to charge．"Don"t trouble to deny it." "I won"t, Father. Some men at Cambridge have been talking about it. They want people like us here, mathematicians and scientists, for all kinds of research——the sort of research I could do．It would be a worthwhile life for me."
The father responded exactly as his son had known he would．"You"ve got a worthwhile life here！You"ve got an estate to run！"
"No, Father. You"ve got an estate to run. I never asked for it. Why not ask Baden to do this stuff? He perhaps can make a good job of it, but I..."
"If he were here, I might think about this silly idea of yours——only think about it, mind you but..."
小题1:If Father wanted Stephen to take over the estate, the first thing he did would__________．
| A．take a walk with Stephen as usual | B．wait till his son graduated from Cambridge |
| C．persuade Stephen not to go into RAF | D．send Stephen to the Army instead of RAF |
| A．Stephen preferred to go into the Navy rather than the Army. |
| B．Stephen also received his call-up papers as Roy. |
| C．The father didn"t like Stephen"s idea of going to America. |
| D．Stephen was eventually forced to stay to run the estate． |
| A．Stephen had never had to defend his desires before |
| B．Baden might be one of Stephen"s family members |
| C．Stephen wanted to fly in RAF and become a pilot in America |
| D．if somebody took over the estate, Stephen could realize his dream |
| A．It looked as if the father was angry when mentioning the brochures. |
| B．The father was very angry and wanted to beat his son Stephen． |
| C．Stephen was annoyed when his father referred to the brochures. |
| D．A big red bull was about to charge at Stephen. |
| A．RAF——a better choice than the Army | B．A talk between Father and Son |
| C．The dreams of a Cambridge student | D．Conflict between Father and Son |
Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: "Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care less about criticism"
"In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me."
She didn"t care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.
"Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn"t spoken to me since last year and if she really cared for me, I"m sure she would have contacted me."
Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens.
"In New York I wasn"t in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race."
Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday"s race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.
However, Radcliffe has not rule
d out in the future chasing her "final" world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times."I don"t think that ——although I can"t put a number on it," said. Radcliffe. "That changes from person to person."
Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance at some point in the future. Following a successful three-month training period in the United States, the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months lat
er.Radcliffe clocked a time of 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometre race three years ago.
Afterwards she set a "mixed
course" mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2:15:25 in the 2003 London event.小题1:Radcliffe’s failure in Athens made her___________.
| A．develop respect for Liz | B．love people around her more |
| C．rest for five months | D．face criticism calmly |
| A．Radcliffe broke the world record in the New York City marathon. |
| B．Radcliffe didn’t fully recover before the New York City marathon. |
| C．Radcliffe won her first marathon title in the New York City marathon. |
| D．Radcliffe had a 3-month training before the New York City marathon. |
| A．if she has the ability to set a new world record |
| B．if she can win another race though she has won many times |
| C．how many times a marathon runner can set the world record |
| D．if she has the ability to produce four or five world-class times |
| A．one | B．two | C．three | D．four |
| A．Practice makes perfect. | B．Well begun is half done. |
| C．Where there is a will, there is a way. | D．A friend in need is a fried indeed. |
Rather 28 , the king ordered, “You have three days’ grace. Any one who offers an answer will be handsomely awarded. Those who fail will be 29 .”
The time limit was due in the twinkling（闪烁）of an eye, yet the ministers were still at their wit’s end. At this time a child appeared who declared that he knew the answer. The king told his 30 ministers to go with the child for the measurement. To their 31 , the child refused the suggestion with a smile, “It is very easy. No 32 to go to the pond.” This made the king laugh 33 , “Alright, let us know what it is.” The child winked (眨眼) and said, “That 34 on the size of the bucket. If it is as big as the pond, there is one bucket of water; if it is half as big, two buckets; if one third as big, three buckets; if...”“Stop! That’s it. You’ve got the 35 .” The king was satisfied and the child was duly rewarded.
Why did the ministers feel it so different to settle the problem? Because they fell in a pitfall (陷阱), following a wrong way of thinking. People’s thinking often goes a habitual way — the beaten track of straightforwardness. 36 is a static (静态的) way presupposing every object definite and certain, i.e. the size of the pond and the bucket should be clearly 37 . If one of them is unknown, it will be difficult to do the measurement, let alone 38 . Why not change your mode of thought — from static to dynamic（动态的）, from concrete to 39 ? If you adopt an indirect way and try to find out the proportional relation between the pond and the bucket, you’ll get an answer — flexible yet 40 to solve the problem.
Sometimes to get out of the difficulty one must change one’s way of thinking, or simply change one’s approach towards a problem.
