As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around then, I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community organized an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.

I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and pretty healthy. At first I heard nothing. But then they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family and my doctor were against it.

On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered to watch my dive. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was very noisy, but I wasn’t frightened—I was just looking forward to the experience. Reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落傘）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt. I was just enjoying it.

Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.

41. What happened to the author in 2001?

A. She flew an airplane.

B. She entered a competition.

C. She went on a hot air balloon ride.

D. She moved into a retirement community.

42. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to 　　　.

A. make her argument persuasive

B. show her admiration for him

C. compare their health condition

D. build up her own reputation

43. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?

A. Excited.　 　　　　　 B. Regretful.　 　　　　 C. Nervous.　 　　　　　 D. Scared.

44. What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?

A. The beautiful clouds.　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. The wonderful view.

C. The company of Jay.　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. The one-minute free fall.

45. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Impossible is nothing. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. A dream made come true.

C. An unforgettable skydiving.　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. I Went Skydiving at 84!

Manager,

I am an exchange student from China. Yesterday, I went to your cinema to see a film. The film was very well, but I did not enjoy it because there were some problem in the cinema.

First, the film was delayed as there were so much advertisements at the beginning. It was rather annoyed. Second, the sound of the film was too loud that I could hardly bear. The EXIT signs could not be seen clearly, which presented potential safety hazards. If something terribly should happen, it will be difficult for people to get out quickly.

As a visitor to your city, I’m disappointed with my experience in your cinema. I am writing a letter in the hope that you can consider about these problems and make some improvement.

Yours faithfully,

Li Hua

As the sound of footsteps behind her grew louder, she quickened her pace. She didn’t want to turn around as the memory of that morning’s newspaper headline made her afraid of what she would see: “City Killer Claims Fourth Victim.”

“Why did I stop for a few drinks in the bar after work?” she thought to herself. Now it was dark and the streets deserted. She was alone and a sitting duck.

She felt as if she was walking in the rain. Her clothes were damp from nervous sweat and as each short hot breath hit the night air, it turned to steam, coating her glasses in a thin film so all she saw seemed covered in fog.

The footsteps were closer now. She needed to get off this street. Her eyes began a useless search for an open store or lighted window. Passing a small lane she looked through，for a possible escape route. But the lane was a dead - end and she laughed to herself at the irony.

The sound of a car behind her turning onto the street interrupted her self – pity. Escape was at hand. But as she was about to throw herself onto the road and shout for the car to stop, the car’s headlights cast a shadow that paralyzed （使癱瘓） her with terror.

It was the footsteps’ owner. The figure was huge and in its raised arm it held what looked like a lead-pipe, no doubt the one that was about to claim victim number five.

The shadow dissolved as the car passed by and disappeared into the distance. She felt a hand on her shoulder. It was all happening as if in slow – motion. She was waiting for her life to flash before her eyes like all those novels said it would – but it didn’t. The only thing she thought of was her dear husband. She recalled phoning him from work that very afternoon and joking about, of all things, the city killer. It was a night full of ironies.

There was a voice talking to her now but she was lost in thoughts of her fate and didn’t respond. The hand then began turning her around. It was surprisingly gentle given what was about to come. She allowed it to guide her without resistance. （抵抗；反抗）

She looked up. She recognized the face, but she didn’t know from where. Its mouth was still talking to her but she couldn’t understand. Then she remembered. The face belonged to the foreign looking man who had served her at the bar. She looked down to his hand and saw in it not a lead – pipe but a rolled up copy of a work report she had been correcting in the bar as she drank.

His words suddenly started to register in her brain and she could hear him. “Miss, Miss. Are you OK? You left this in the bar and it looked important so I thought I’d better give it to you.”

1.The woman was feeling nervous because        .

A．she had left her report in the bar

B．there was a killer in the city

C．she was being followed by someone

D．the streets were dark and empty

2.The underlined expression “a sitting duck” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “        ”.

A．an easy target                          B．a frightened person

C．a foolish animal                         D．a still position

3.What is the correct order of events that happened to the woman on the day of the story?

a. She went for a drink in a bar.   b. She corrected the report.

c. She heard loud footsteps.    d. She read the newspaper.

e. She called her husband.  f. She felt a hand on her shoulder.

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

A．She was excited because she thought it may be a way to escape.

B．She felt bitter because she had no chance to escape.

C．She was becoming more and more nervous.

D．She realized that she was behaving foolishly.

5.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
