10、the First TimeI began flying lessons at the age of 14; but the Federal Aviation Administration requires you to be 16 before you make flight by yourself. So I had to wait for two long years until I could fly a plane by myself. I used that time to master the basic maneuvers (要領(lǐng)) of flying. I learned e

11、mergency procedures and practiced hundreds of takeoffs and landings until I could land the airplane smoothly without bouncing it down the runway. It wasnt always easy, and many times I would come home feeling discouraged and thinking maybe everyone was right I would never learn to fly, but by the ne

12、xt day, I was always eager to try again.On the day of my 16th birthday, I made my first solo flight, which meant I could finally fly alone. The night before, my dad, who was my flight instructor, explained that the winds were forecast to be high. He said if we were in the air by dawn, the winds woul

13、d probably be calm enough for me to solo. The next morning it was cold, but the sky was completely clear, and the winds were calm. I expected my dad to stay in the plane for at least three takeoffs and landings. But after the first one, he told me to pull off the runway, and he got out of the plane.

14、I was alone. As I climbed higher and higher, the world began to change. Everything on the ground became miniature. Houses, cars, and all looked like tiny toys that could fit in the surface of my hand. I made three takeoffs and landings that day. Each landing was perfect. It was one of the happiest d

15、ays of my life.Today, as a flight instructor, I stand alongside runways watching as my own students take to the sky on their first solo flights. I understand the joy faces, which always bring me back to that day when my dream came true. I learned that no matter how people tell you that you cant do s

Think hard and you can achieve your dream.BAre you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? You might be better off i

19、f you stopped looking at that picture of your family and friends.New research from Columbia University found that prompting (提示) someone who is learning a new language with images and reminders of their own culture could temporarily ruin everything that the brain was trying to build. When nativ

20、e Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar (白種人的虛擬頭像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their spe

21、ech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers. To make sure it wasnt just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volun

22、teers were 85% more likely to use a literal (照字面的) translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because thats literally what the Chinese word for pistachio means. When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture would change how th

23、ey look at the photo. With Chinese prompt, like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, while an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or Superman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fish.The bottom li

24、ne is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself with that culture than create an island of the old one. 25. Why does the author use a question in the first paragraph? A. To raise a question. B. To arouse readers awareness. C. To introduce the topic.

28、ts delicate style and small setting. This wise and funny film works small miracles in describing such a moment when kids turn from the wishfulness of childhood into shaping the world for themselves.The sweetly reflective hero, a sixth-grader named Koichi, starts out by wishing for a volcano to erupt

29、. Not just any volcano, but the one that towers above his town, smoking heavily and giving off ash. An eruption would lead to a withdrawing, which would lead, at least in his mind, to a reunion with his father and kid brother, whove been living in Hakata while Koichi lives with his mother and retire

30、d grandparents in Kagoshima. The volcano, knowing nothing of this, refuses to erupt, but Koichi hears of another approach to realizing the desired miracle.One of the pleasures of I Wish is watching how kids behave how Koichi attacks his dinner, for example. Another pleasure is rediscovering how kids

31、 think. These kids can be logical and ever so tricky. But childrens thought processes can also be fancy. A boy wishes he could play baseball like one of baseball stars, who eats curry for breakfast; so he, too, starts eating curry for breakfast, instead of practicing on the field. Another boy tries

32、to wish his dead dog, Marble, back to life. And what does Koichi finally wish for? I wish youd see this delightful film to find out.29.

35、were voted as one of the worlds top five performance groups by audiences of Japan Broadcasting Corporations Amazing Voice program.Thinking back the groups first tour in Europe, Camake Valaule, a physical education teacher and the founder of the Taiwu Elementary School Folk Singers, admitted that he

36、felt very nervous. He was worried that the audience would fall asleep since most of the 75-minute performance was a cappella, that is, singing without instrumental sound. Surprisingly, the audience listened with full focus and high spirits. Camake said, “They told me afterward that through our perfo

37、rmance, they had a vision of our country, our village, without having to visit it. This experience greatly increased our confidence.”According to Camake Valaule, singing traditional ballads has helped students and their parents to re-understand their culture. “It used to be that the only ones who co

38、uld sing these songs were tribal elders aged between 50 and 60. Now with the children performing the pieces, parents are beginning to ask, Why do we not know how to sing these ballads? Many times nowadays, it is the children who teach the songs to their parents, putting back the pieces of a blurred

39、memory.” Winning international fame, however, was neither the original intention nor the main reason why Camake founded the group in 2006. The most important thing was to make children understand why they sing these songs and to preserve and pass on their culture. Referring to the relocation of

40、 Taiwu Elementary School and Taiwu Village following Typhoon Morakot in August 2009, Camake said, “We could not take the forest or our houses in the mountains with us; but we were able to bring our culture along. As long as the children are willing to sing, I will always be there for them, singing w

41、ith them and leading them to experience the meaning of the ballads.” 32. Which of the following is true about Taiwu Elementary School Folk Singers? A. The group was first established in 2009. B. The group was founded by a PE teacher. C. The singers usually sing popular folk songs

43、y could understand the language and the meaning of the songs. D. The audience could not visualize the theme sung by the school children. 34. What does the underlined part “the pieces of a blurred memory” in the third paragraph most likely refer to? A. The fading memories about old tri

44、bal people. B. The childrens ignorance of their own tradition. C. The broken pieces of knowledge taught at school. D. The parents vague understanding of their own culture. 35. What did Camake realize after the incident of Typhoon Morakot? A. The significance of the relocatio

45、n of Taiwu Elementary School.B. The need to respect nature to avoid being destroyed by it.C. The importance of passing on the traditional culture.D. The consequence of building houses in the forest.第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Do you have a spare room in
