    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

    　　Nick Goldsmith remembers the moment he decided to become a hospice(收容所)volunteer．His mother was telling him a story about a friend who worked at a hospice, about how one day, she was walking past a patient's door when the patient cried out to her．But there was nothing wrong, he only wanted some companionship．He didn't want to be alone, so she sat with him．Goldsmith thought to himself, "There's no reason I can't do that．"

    　　Not only did he do it, but he started a student volunteer program at Dowling Catholic High School to ensure the work he started at Taylor House Hospice will continue after he graduates．Last month, Iowa Health Hospice honored Goldsmith, 18, for his volunteer work with the organization by naming a ＄500 annual scholarship for him, which will be open to any student who volunteers with Iowa Health Hospice．

    　　“ That was by far the least we could do to recognize Nick, " Susie Flood said．"He hasn't just given of his own time and energy, but he's encouraged others to do the same．" Goldsmith hadn't had any experience with hospice before entering the door of Taylor House．He chose it because his mother's friend, whose story had forced him to volunteer, works there．

    　　"They're really excited about my being there and there's a real need for teen volunteers, " Goldsmith said．"The principal at Dowling approved my being able to offer service hours to anyone who would like to volunteer．" Students must earn a certain number of service, or community－service, hours to graduate from Dowling．

    　　When Goldsmith leaves Des Moines next fall to attend college, he'll give up leading the hospice service－learning program．"I want us, as Dowling students, to keep making a difference, " he said．'It's easy to talk about things you can do to help people,, but what many teenagers don't realize is how good it can make you feel inside．"

    PITTSBURGH, Sept. 7 — At 26, many people haven’t even decided on a career. Luke Ravenstahl, cashing in on his family’s political tradition, is already the mayor of Pittsburgh, the youngest mayor of any major city in the country. Although mayors elsewhere have been younger, Jeff Dunkel was 18 in 2001 when he was elected mayor of Mount Carbon, small towns in New York, and elsewhere have also elected teenagers as mayors. But, Tallahassee, is the only other city with a population over 100,000 that has had a mayor as young as Mr. Ravenstahl. A supporter of Mr. Ravenstahl said concerns about Mr. Ravenstahl’s age would dissipate once the city saw his work ethic.

     But now comes the hard part. As he strives to be taken seriously and take charge of a city only recently back from the brink of bankruptcy, the baby-faced mayor said that even the smallest decisions felt weighty, even what to wear in the Steelers game matters.

    And another pressing issue is to strengthen the city’s economy. Pittsburgh has lost all its mills, nearly half its population and much of its downtown commercial district in the last several decades. “But Pittsburgh has 50,000 college students, and our challenge is to figure out how to retain them and to increase downtown development.” He said.

    But one of the biggest uncertainties is how long he will remain in office. According to the city charter, Mayor Ravenstahl’s term will not expire until November 2009. Some city lawyers, however, have argued that he must face the electorate next year. And residents in Pittsburgh are still withholding judgment on him. Deli, Jimmy Cvetic, a sandwich shop owner, said “I call him Cool Hand Luke. He’ll be all right, but he’s going to need a cool hand to get through this.”

    Mayor Ravenstahl said he was still coming to terms with the challenge he faced.

    41. About Luke Ravenstahl, which of the following statements is correct?

    He is the youngest mayor in the U.S.A.

    His family background has contributed to his successful political career.

    His young age has won support from media and young voters.

    He will be mayor of Pittsburgh at least until 2009.

    42. The underlined word “dissipate” in the first paragraph probably means________.

    A. disappear                 B. appear                      C. spread               D. reduce

    43. What can you infer from the article about Pittsburgh?

    A. It is a small town in New York famous for steel mills.

    B. It has always enjoyed prosperous economic success.

    C. Many young college students there are the new hope of the district.

    D. It is a major city in the U.S.A with a population slightly smaller than 100,000.

    44. Where can you find this article?

    A. A magazine      

    B. A brochure about politicians

    C. A newspaper

    D. An advertisement about some mayor candidates

    45. What kind of Challenges will not Luke Ravenstahl cope with?

    A. Distrust from his citizens                      B. pressure from other outstanding young majors

    C. economical standstill of his city              D. decreasing population in his city

    Michael Lewis writes about the inner strategies of sports to fans’ delight, and yet describes the personalities and worlds of his real-life characters with such depth that nonfans will enjoy his writing just as much. He looked successfully at baseball management with Moneyball.  Now The Blind Side examines the increasing value placed on the left tackle(左后卫)position in football, the high pressure world of college football recruiting(招收队员), and in particular, the life of one promising young left tackle, Mike Oher.

    Oher’s story’s attractive. The big boy was silent to the point that many people thought he was mentally disabled. Then, in a lucky break, Oher and a friend are admitted to a very white, private high school, far across town from their own poor African-American neighborhood. Oher is unbelievably far behind academically, but he’s taken under the wing of Sean Tuohy, one of the school’s coaches, a wealthy man whose family Oher eventually joins. Before long, though Oher almost completely lacks football experience, he leads him to new athletic heights and brings on a fierce competition from eager college coaches.

    Lewis’s book brings on many interesting questions: How did a kid like Oher get so lost in the college recruiting system at first? How far should the system bend to meet the needs of a few student athletes? Are the Tuohys the most selfless, or are they using Oher themselves? If so, does it matter, if it benefits him? And what should we think of the college recruiting system that comes after him? These are just a few subjects raised by this highly readable book.

    No fan of football should pass on this good one, but even if your interest in sports is only mild, consider tracking down the works of Michael Lewis.

    72．Michael Lewis is ________.

    A. a football player              B. a high school student       C. a book writer     D. a football coach

    73．People thought Oher was mentally disabled because ________.

    A. he was too tall and heavy                                     B. he seldom spoke with others

    C. he was too academically poor                               D. he was an African-American

    74．The third paragraph is intended to ________.

    A. explore deep meanings of the book              B. tell how hard it is to understand the story

    C. question the poor quality of the book                    D. show what a hot topic the book becomes

    75．Which of the following would be the best title?

    A. The Blind Side: Progress of a Game               B. Michael Lewis: Thinker of Real Life

    C. Where Is College Recruiting System Going?   D. Where Are the African-Americans Going?
