My neighbor Jennifer is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other  36  , including her "sixth sense", that she hardly gives the impression that she has   37  anything. Jennifer looks after her children much like the rest of us,  38  that she doesn’t push too hard on them,  39  really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that   40  often don't realize she's blind.

I  41  this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very   42  about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was   43  excited about her finger-painting project.

“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to   44  colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Jennifer  45   with us”. To my great  46  , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, “Jennifer told me my   47  showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment（成就感）. She really _48   what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt   49  Jennifer showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.

I realized Kayla didn't know that Jennifer was blind. It had just never  50  in conversation. When I told my daughter that Jennifer was blind, she was  51  for a moment. At first, she didn't believe me. “But Mommy, Jennifer knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla  52  . And I knew my child was  53   because Jennifer had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Jennifer had also heard Kayla's  54  in her work.

We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Jennifer really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my   55  .”

Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

IN a 30-minute film called The Chase, a girl tries to catch a thief and finally takes him down with martial arts (武术) skills.

Anything special? Thirteen-year-old US girl Sophia Tran wrote, shot and performed in the film. She played the girl in the movie and her father, Steven, played the thief.

Now an eighth-grader at Ladera Ranch Middle School, California, Tran wrote The Chase over the summer of 2008. She shot the film in the fall of 2008 before holding the premiere (首映式) at her home in January the next year.

“It is important to have passion in filmmaking or you are not going to make it,” the quiet teenager said with a smile. “Also, you should read a lot of books about filmmaking.”

Tran thinks that many screenplays don't have any “suspense (悬念) as the film progresses.” She is now working on a movie which she says will be a suspense story.

Steven says his daughter has enjoyed drama and action movies since she was 7.

“She started to be interested in how stories are adapted (改编) to a screenplay,” Steven said. “And she wrote her own books when she was in second grade.”

But Tran also has a big heart. She sold DVD copies of her film The Chase for $10 each to family and friends. She then donated $400 from the DVD sales to her school to buy new computers.

57.   Sophia Tran played _____ in her movie.

A. a thief          B. a doctor                       C. a girl           D. a police woman

58.   Sophia Tran shot the film _____.

A. last year        B. in January                            C. last summer     D. less two years ago

59.   Sophia Tran thinks ______ are important for successful filmmaking.

A. characters         B. stories       C. passion and knowledge D. passion and experience

60. According to Sophia Tran, many screenplays are poorly written because _____.

A. they don't keep readers excited                      B. they mostly end in an unexpected way

C. their dialogues are not interesting                   D. they are not inspiring

Mexico City is truly one of the most amazing cities in the world with a mixture of both the old and new world. From the moment your plane starts to land in this vast city, you know that your trip will be quite an adventure.

Once in your taxi and the moment you leave the airport, you are amazed at the large amount of slow traffic. The volume of the traffic can be stressful to some.

The "Paseo de la Reforma (改革大道)", running southwest across the city, is one of the major tourist and business areas in Mexico City with many high quality hotels only walking distance from great restaurants and other tourist attractions. The only problem you will have is trying to see all of these sites during your vacation time.

One of the most popular attractions in this area is the National Museum of Anthropology along the northwest part of the street. There are thousands of artifacts on display showing the history of the area and numerous items found from the many Aztec sites in the area. Walking southwest from the museum, you will soon reach the Mexico City Zoo, which is a great place to spend an afternoon.

Across the street from the museum is the Chapultepec Castle, once an important site in the Mexican-American war. It's also a good idea to take the train up the hill to where the castle is located as the hill is steep (陡峭的). It's important to keep in mind that Mexico City is over 7,000 feet above sea level and some feel it difficult to breathe when walking.

You can take a taxi to the Coyoacan market during the evening on a weekend. It's a great place to get some cheap souvenirs to bring back home and to enjoy some traditional Mexican cuisine. However, you must be careful where you eat and that the meat is well cooked.

55．The tourists in Mexico City may not be satisfied with______.

A．the high speed of the traffic                      B．the heavy traffic of the city

C．the polluted air in the city                                D．their safety in the city

56．From the third paragraph, we can learn that______.

A．the number of the city attractions can't meet the needs of the tourists

B．it is convenient for tourists to visit the city from where they stay

C．tourists have problems when visiting the sites in Mexico City

D．tourists often have their three meals in the high quality hotels

57．Which of the following shows the correct positions of the following places?

P = Paseo de la Reforma            M = the National Museum of Anthropology

C = the Chapultepec Castle        Z = the Mexico City Zoo

58．Which of the following attractions may interest those who want to study the military (of the army) history of Mexico City?

A．The National Museum of Anthropology.    B．The Coyoacan market.

C．The Chapultepec Castle.                           D．The Aztec sites.

James Joyce was an Irish novelist who revolutionized the methods of depicting characters and developing a plot in modern fiction. his astonishing way of constructing a novel, his frank portrayal（描画, 描写）of human nature in his books, and his complete command of English have made him one of the outstanding influences on literature in the 20th century. Many critics judge that he is second only to Shakespeare in his mastery of the English language. Joyce was deeply influenced by Ireland and wrote all his books about Dublin.

When he was in Dublin College, he studied languages and spent his spare time reading books. He refused to take part in the nationalist movement like his fellow students, but he became passionately（热情地, 热烈地）interested in literature. He wrote outspoken articles of literary criticism that shocked his teachers and even taught himself norwegian（挪威语）so that he could read Ibsen’s（挪威剧作家及诗人）works in the original.

When he graduated in 1902, he knew he would become a writer and an exile（流犯, 被放逐者）, because he felt he could not be one without the other. In order to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully, fully, and as objectively as he knew how, about the people and places he knew best, he had to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion or public life. He went to France, Italy and Switzerland, where he lived in poverty and obscurity for the first 20 years, only returning to Ireland when his mother was dying. Except for a couple of brief trips, he stayed abroad all his life.

66．How many examples are used to show his passion in literature?

A．2.         B．3.         C．1.          D．4.

67．Why did James Joyce stay abroad almost all his life?

       A．Because he wanted to live in poverty and obscurity.

       B．Because he wanted to write the people and places he knew best.
