       “The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium（千年）, was made up of three parts——“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”．Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.

       John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892．His parents died when he was a child．Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up his mind to play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.

       After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I．In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology（神话） for The Rings．As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers．The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.

       Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural（乡村的）class．Hobbits live in hillside holes．One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves（侏儒）．On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.

       One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft（草稿）．The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son．The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.

       It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation．Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers—new and old —after their publication.

46．What can we learn from the text?

       A．Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.

       B．People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.

       C．“The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.

     D．Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.

47．What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works?

       A．Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.

       B．Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.

       C．Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.

       D．Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.

48．Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?

       A．One of Tolkien’s students.                        B．Allen & Unwin.

       C．Stanley Unwin’s son.                                D．Bilbo Baggins.

49．What is mainly discussed in the text?

       A．a famous professor at Oxford University.

       B．A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.

       C．“The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.

       D．The power of the magic ring.

50．Which of the following shows the right order of Mr J.R.R.Tolkien’s life experience?

       a．He had his “The Hobbit” published.

       b．He became a member of the lnklings．   

 c．He served in World WarⅠ

       d．He became an undergraduate at Oxford.

       e．His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.

       f．He moved to England to live with his aunt.

       A．f-d-b-c-a-e            B．d-f-c-a-b-e             C．f-c-d-b-e-a            D．f-d-c-b-a-e

Good afternoon,everybody,

The first of the 2015 Nobel Prizes has been announced. Sweden’s Nobel Prize committee said the Nobel Prize for medicine would go to Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan for their discoveries about a therapy (疗法) against malaria (疟疾). The prize for medicine was also going to Chinese researcher Tu Youyou. Campbell and Omura were honored for their anti-roundworm treatment, while Tu came up with a new drug for malaria.

Tu, born in 1930, graduated from Beijing Medical College in 1955. She is a chief researcher and professor at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She is also the first Chinese citizen to be awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine. In the 1970s, Tu carried out the research, resulting in the discovery of artemisinin (青蒿素), a drug that has considerably cut the number of malaria deaths and saved millions of lives. The treatment is based on a herb (草药) used in Chinese traditional medicine, which is called sweet wormwood.

Tu got the award for three “firsts”. She was the first to bring artemisinin to her project team, the first to extract (提炼) a form of artemisinin that can prevent malaria, and the first to complete a clinical trial.

“Tu’s winning the prize shows China’s prosperity (繁荣) and progress in scientific and technological field, marks a great contribution of traditional Chinese medicine to the cause of human health and shows China’s growing strength and rising international standing,” Premier Li Keqiang said in a congratulatory letter Monday morning.

63. Which of the following is true?

A. Cambell, Tu and William shared the Nobel Prize for medicine.

B. Tu has led the research for more than 60 years.

C. Tu is the first Chinese citizen to win Nobel Prize.

D. Tu began her research in the 1970s.

64. How did Tu win the award?

A. She made artemisinin known to the world before all the other scientists.

B. She exacted artemisinin from a traditional Chinese herb, sweet wormwood.

C. She was the first to study artemisinin in her team, to extract it and to finish a trial.

D. She used artemisinin to cut the number of malaria deaths in large numbers.

65. What can we learn from Tu’s winning the prize?

A. China is developing fast both in science and technology.

B. China’s prosperity is the most important reason for her winning.

C. Human health gives a contribution to traditional Chinese medicine.

D. China’s growing strength shows its rising international standing.

Dear Disney,

Last weekend, the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom - Disneyland. And one event made our visit seem truly magical.

　　We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn’t take her ice-cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was not allowed on the ride.

　　Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff(员工) members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, "Promise?" Then she gave Murphy her ice-cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride.

　　Sure enough, as we walked out the exit, there was Gloria’s new friend with "her" ice-cream.

　　Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice-cream won’t last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew’ what time we would get off the ride;

　　she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit. Gloria said, "Thank you," but I’m sure she thought it was the same ice-cream.

　　We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!

　　Your fan,

　　Carmen Rivera

Today I went on a school trip. We visit the science museum and it was really interested. We got to there so fast by train. We saw some farms and village along the way. At the museum, I learned a lot about robots. I didn't know they could play chess about us. It was so cool! Then the guide taught us how make a model robot. I take a lot of great photos, too. after that, I went to the gift shop but bought some lovely gifts for my parents. They weren't expensive. All at all, it was an exciting day.

I had a lot of teachers that I loved. However, the teacher that I remember most was Mrs. Green from Marianna, Florida. She was my 5th grade teacher. Since I was a new student, not only in her class, but at the school, she made my time there much more pleasant. I immediately began to like her. She was really funny and I knew that she liked me. She made learning fun. I remember one day for Christmas holidays, she taught us how to make ornaments (装饰物) from eggs. My parents still have some of the ornaments I made.

She made me leader for many group projects and that made me feel special. I think that would make any child feel special, especially when a child is in a new place with no friends. She made me want to be like that. Not to pick a “favorite” student, but to make every student feel that they are special. That year, I received the Presidential Academic Award (美国总统学术奖). I was really proud and so were my parents.

Looking back at it, I think the reason why I did so well was that I felt important. Students do better when they feel like they are important or loved. Mrs. Green always gets to know her students and forms personal relationships with them, which I will try to do some day. I just hope that there will be students who find me to be their favorite teacher as I found her to be mine.

25．The author's life in the new school was very ________.

A. happy       B. common      C. hard      D. boring

26．What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. The author was once received by the President.

B. The author was Mrs. Green's favorite student.

C. The author was the pride of her parents.

I had just gone through life-saving brain surgery (外科手术). I came home from the 16 with a bald (秃的) head. Looking like Frankenstein (人形怪物), I felt very 17 . I would not let anyone see me 18 having a hat on my head. I didn’t even want anyone to 19 me about my life.

    Several days later, I came out of my 20 bedroom to go to the 21 across the hall. I did not have a hat on 22 I didn’t think anyone was at home. As I came out of the bathroom, I was 23 to see my little three-year-old grandson standing there.

    He 24 me and I looked at him. 25 a huge smile appeared on his face. He put his 26 around me and gave me a big hug (拥抱). He then looked at me again and said, "Bubba (that is what the grandkids 27 me), you got a haircut!" I looked at him and said, "Yes, I did." He asked who 28 it and I said the doctor did. He said the doctor did a good job. Well, that was 29 with him.

     He made me 30 that I was still loved no matter what I looked like. It was then 31 I held his little hand and 32 him to take me downstairs. I wanted to be with the rest of the 33 . If he didn’t 34 the fact that Bubba looked like that, I knew everyone else could 35 it too. That little boy is eight years old today and I am still Bubba, but with a little more hair.

When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team. That meant  41 Miller King, who was the best  42   I have been admiring at our school.

Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out. I carried my football everywhere for   43   .

Just before September, Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from   44  . He looked very   45  , but he didn’t cry.

That season, I  46  all of Miller’s records while he   47  the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player,   48  I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller’s   49  .

One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller  50  going over a fence—which wasn’t   51   to climb if you had both arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept  52  from. But even that challenge he accepted. I  53   him move slowly over the fence. When we were finally   54   on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did   55  .Thank you for filling in for  56  .”

His words freed me from my bad  57  . I thought to myself, how even without an arm he was more of a leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was  58  ahead of me. I was right to have  59 him. From that day on，I grew  60  and a little more real.
