    5．Life offers two choices．We can live to survive or to soar to unlimited heights．The choices are modeled by two creatures．
    A few months back while sitting in a boat fishing with a couple of friends，I noticed a field mouse on the river bank．He ran out of his hole，ran in a couple of directions，and then ran back inside．I thought of the existence of this little creature．His life is spent running around，frightened and panicky，following his nose．
    He darts here，dashes there，turns in circles，but never really sees much beyond his nose．He is trying to smell his way to successful living，which，defined by a mouse's existence，is finding some daily food to sustain himself so that he can carry on for the rest of his life，frightened and frantic．Sounds familiar．
    A few minutes later I glanced up and noticed，soaring high above，was an osprey（鱼鹰）．I saw a wide winged creature using air currents to fly high．
    Rather than simply fighting to exist，this keen-eyed hunter with a broad view of the river，lake and mountains was waiting for the appropriate time to catch his prey（猎物）．This amazing creature glides（滑翔）toward a nest at the top of the tallest of trees instead of returning to some tiny hole in the riverbank．
    The strength in his wings，the power in his talons （爪子），the amazing ability of his vision，the effortless capacity to soar…it is the osprey，not the field mouse，that models our human potential．
    I don't know about you，but it is easy for me to decide which creature I want to represent my life．I want to soar．I want to explore．I want to see the big picture．I want to conquer．I want to climb higher，go farther，dive deeper and experience more．
    I want my soul enlarged，my mind expanded，my heart enlivened and my spirit energized．I want to stop running．I want the frantic chasing of my nose to end．I want new strength，fresh thinking and clear vision．I want to be more and more like the osprey．

    59．What is the author's main purpose in writing the article？B

    C．lives in fear in order to survive

    61．What is the author's impression of the osprey？D
    A．It is a strong and friendly creature with keen eyes．
    B．It reminds us of the importance of patience and timing．
    C．The way it preys has much in common with that of humans．
    D．The way it lives can inspire us to reach our full potential．
    62．Which of the following best describes the author？A

    When Jeanne Calment entered the world in 1875, telephones and automobiles still lay in the future. Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso were not yet born. The Eiffel Tower was 14 years from being built. As a teenager, she met Vincent Van Gogh, near her home in Arles, in the south of France. He was “very ugly, ungracious, impolite, sick—I forgive him, they called him loco (精神失常的)”, she recalled. When she died last week at age 122, she was the world’s eldest person. (There are others who claimed to the title, but only Calment had the official documents to prove her age.)

    Each February 21, her birthday, she would share the secrets of long life. Some years it was “a sense of humour”, others it was “keeping busy”. “God must have forgotten me,” she once explained. The truth probably was that her mother reportedly lived to be 86 and her father 94.

    Her life had its sadness: she outlived her husband, her only daughter and her grandson. According to a friend, she was imperturbable. “If you can’t do anything about it,” she reportedly said, “don’t worry about it.”

    In her last years she was nearly blind and deaf, but her health remained good. She ate a few bars of chocolate each week and continued smoking until a few years ago, when she could no longer light her own cigarettes. She never lost her sense of humour. On her 110th birthday, she commented, “I’ve only ever had one wrinkle, and I’m sitting on it. “Her longevity made her famous; her spirit made her eternal (永恒的).

    1.Why does the author mention Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso and the Eiffel Tower?

    A. To show that Calment had seen famous people and things.

    B. To emphasize that Calment was born a long time ago.

    C. To indicate that Calment is just as famous.

    D. To admire the knowledge that Calment had.

    2.The author believed that Calment’s longevity is mainly due to ______.

    A. a sense of humor B. being kept busy

    C. belief in God D. good genes

    3.What is the meaning of the underlined sentences?

    A. She paid much attention to the wrinkle.

    B. She felt sad for the wrinkle.

    C. She just put the wrinkle aside.

    D. She sat down and some one helped her deal with the wrinkle.

    10．After my sixth voyage I was quite determined that I would never go to sea．One early spring day，however，I was brought to see the Caliph．He said，"Sindbad，I have chosen you to deliver a letter and a gift to the King of Serendib in return for his message of friendship．"
    The Caliph's commandment fell upon me like a thunderbolt（晴天霹雳）．
    "Your Majesty，"I answered，"I am ready to do all that your Majesty commands，but I have made a promise never again to leave Baghdad．"
    "I admit，"said he，"that you have indeed had some extraordinary experiences，but I do not see why they should prevent you from doing as I wish．You have only to go straight to Serendib and give my message，and come back as you will．"
    At last，I agreed．The Caliph was delighted and gave me a thousand sequins （gold coins） for the expenses of the voyage．Soon I sailed quickly and safely to Serendib after a nearly 30-day voyage where I was well received，and brought into the presence of the king．
    I displayed the Caliph's gifts：a bed which cost a thousand sequins，and more beds of different fashion．The King received the assurance of the Caliph's friendliness with satisfaction．Since my task was accomplished，I was anxious to depart．The king dismissed me with many presents，and I left immediately on the end day of May．On the fifth day we suffered from pirates（海盗） who killed some of us and made the rest prisoners of whom I was one．On a distant island they sold us for slaves．I fell into the hands of a rich merchant．
    The merchant asked me to shoot elephants in the forest．When he left，he said，"When you have succeeded in killing one come and tell me．"
    So saying，he gave me a supply of food and returned to the town．I settled myself in the tree and kept watching．The next morning I saw a large group of elephants passing by．I shot one to death and run back to tell my master of my success，for which I was praised and regaled（宴请，款待） with good things．Then we went back to bury the elephant I had killed，in order that when it became a skeleton my master might return and keep its tusks safely．
    I hunted for two months．One morning as I watched the coming of the elephants which paused instead of passing the tree，trumpeting（嚎叫，吼叫） horribly．I was terrified．The largest of the animals brought me to the ground．I thought now that my last hour was surely come； but the huge creature，picking me up gently enough； set me upon its back，then turned into the forest．After what seemed a long time to me，I was standing on a great hill where there was filled with bones and tusks of elephants which are more than I could carry away in a lifetime．
    I run to my master's house，and was received by him with joyful surprise．He asked me what had happened to me and why I was still alive．I soon satisfied his curiosity，and the next day we went together to the Ivory Hill，and he was overjoyed to find as many tusks．
    He said，"My brother，these wild elephants have killed numbers of our slaves every year．You alone have escaped； therefore you must be under the special protection of Heaven．You deserve your liberty，and I will give you a fortune．"
    I only asked liberty to return to my own country
    "Well，"he answered，"the monsoon will soon bring the ivory ships here，and then I will send you on your way．"
    So I stayed with him till the time of the monsoon．When the ships at last arrived，my master put on board for me a great store of supply，also lots of ivory，and said me goodbye．I left without feeling at ease upon the sea after what had happened．I sold my ivory and bought many expensive presents．I joined a traveling team of merchants．Our journey was long and boring，but gradually，I did not to fear storms，or pirates，or any of the other dangers．When the fall wind came blowing，we reached Baghdad．
    I brought myself to the Caliph and told him everything about my experience．My story was written in letters of gold，and laid up among his treasures．I took my leave of him，well satisfied with the honors and rewards he gave me； and since that time I have rested from my labors，and given myself up wholly to my family and my friends．

    67．According to the passage，we can infer thatB．
