One of the young couples on the island wondered if we were sisters. We laughed. “Friends for 34 years,” I said. I could see by their 33 that they didn’t really understand that kind of time. We have been friends 34 than they have been alive.

35 dives, we talked about where to go next. I made lists 36 she slept. Our plans were now more theoretical, and the big trip to the South Pacific one day seemed a long way off. Cancer has become part of our 37 . We are well aware that our bodies are temporary gifts. Not knowing what comes next means 38 is possible. Perhaps I will be hit by a truck, or my heart will stop.

A

There are few places on earth where nature can be seen in almost primitive （原始的）condition. One is the Galapagos Islands, where, largely unspoiled by man, strange and unusual birds, animals and plants settle and grow —many of which are found nowhere else in the world. These islands lie directly on the Equator, about 1, 000 kilometers west of the South American mainland.

But the Galapagos is now facing a crisis （危机）. Its human inhabitants, who live on the island of Santa Cruz, want to develop the business and tourist possibility of the islands. Recently, they have been having a bitter struggle with the naturalists who work at the Charles Darwin Research Center, alto o n Santa Cruz. The naturalists want to keep the island’s wildlife alive, which is already suffering as a result of human activities.

The animals’ greatest danger used to be sailors who, hundreds of years ago, plundered （掠夺）the islands for food. They wiped out about 250, 000 Giant Tortoises, causing extinction of several species which lived on some of the smaller islands. The last survivor, an 80-yearold Giant Tortoise called Lonely George, lives under the protection of naturalists at the Darwin Center.

Some people believe that international sports create goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused mainly by minor national competitions.

One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation（愤慨）after a hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the loser’s objection to the final decision. They were sure that one o f their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was very angry and he said, “This wasn’t

hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.”The president of the Federation said lat er that such behavior could result in the suspension（停赛）of the team for at least three years.

The American basketball team announced that they would not give up the first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their competition. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player popped the ball into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.

Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sports are played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism（爱国主义）. 53．According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ________.

A. caused national pride for athletes

B. created goodwill between the nations

C. hardly showed any international friendship

D. led to less misunderstanding between countries

54．What did the manager mean by saying “Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”?

A. His team would no longer take part in international games.

B. There should be no hockey matches organized by the Federation.

C. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.

D. The International Hockey Federation should be dismissed forever.

55．By taking the basketball game for example, the author wants to prove that ________.

A. too much patriotism was displayed in the games

B. the announcement to prolong the match was wrong

C. the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision

D. the team was right in refusing to accept the silver medals

56．What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?

A. Sports should be played for the love of one’s nation.

B. Unfair decisions are common in the Olympic Games.

C. International competitions will lead to misunderstanding.

D. The organization for the Olympic Games must be reformed.

When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late April.

Liz Murray, a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.

Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets.“What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,”she wrote in her book Breaking Night.

She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”. She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. “I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time.”

Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “as simple as making a decision”.

57．In which order did the following things happen to Liz?

a. Her mother died of AIDS.

b. She worked at a petrol station.

c. She got admitted into Harvar

d.

d. The movie about her life was put on.

e. She had trouble finding a place to sleep.

A. b, a, e, c, d

B. a, b, c, e, d

C. e, d, b, a, c

D. b, e, a, d, c

58．The main idea of the passage is ________.

A. how Liz managed to enter Harvard University

B. what a hard time Liz had in her childhood

C. why Liz loved her parents so much

D. how Liz struggled to change her life

59．What actually made her go towards her goal?

A. Envy and encouragement.

B. Willpower and determination.

C. Decisions and understanding.

D. Love and respect for her parents.

60．When she wrote “What drove me to live on...I had only experienced a small part of the society”, she meant that ________.

A. she had little experience of social life

B. she could hardly understand the society

C. she would do something for her own life

D. she needed to travel more around the world
