Is it better to live with hope or without hope? Sometimes when I hear human 53 , I think it is you, or perhaps another human who will love me. It 54 is. Then I feel terrible. Visitors are only interested in puppy dogs, not old-timers like me.

Just six days after Rankin first attended Congress in 1917，American President Wilson called for a vote to go to war against Germany, as German submarines（潜水艇）attacked American ships during World War I. When Jeanette was called upon to vote，she said，“I want to stand by my

country， buy I cannot vote for war. I vote no.” Forty-nine other congress members also voted no, but she was the person who was criticized most. Newspapers said her decision came from weakness and she was anti-American.

In the Second World War, Japanese warplanes attacked the American base at Pearl Harbor in 1941. The time came again for the US Congress members to vote for or against going to war. Everyone was waiting for Jeanette Rankin to vote, who rose and said, “As a woman, I can’t go to war, so I refuse to send anyone else.” Out of 471 members, she was the only member who voted against war. After that, she received thousands of letters. Most people criticized her, but some praised her for her courage.

Shortly before she died in 1973, she was asked if she regretted voting “no” to the two wars. “Never. ”she answered.“If you are against war, you’re against war regardless o f what happens.”

Today, in the US Congress Building，there is a statue of Jeanette Rankin. On the base of the statue are her words: “I cannot vote for war.”

A group of eight public high school students in Massachusetts, aged l5 to l7, designed and ran their own school within a school. They named their practice the Independent Project. They represented the usual range: two were close to dropping out before they started the project, while others were honors students.

Their guidance teacher was their adviser, consulting with them when the group encountered difficulties. Though they sought advice from English, math and science teachers, they were responsible for monitoring one another’s work and giving one another feedback. There were no grades, but at the end of the term, the students wrote evaluations of their classmates.

The students also designed their own course. In addition to some regular courses, they each took on a n ‘individual project’, learning to play the piano or to cook, writing a novel or making a video about domestic(国内的) violence. At the end of the term, they performed their new skills in front of the entire school. The last part of their self - designed course was to do a ‘collective project’ that had social significance. Because they felt the whole experience

had been so life –changing， they ended up making a film showing how other students could start and run their own schools.

The project was a success. After returning to their traditional study, the students have high motivation and are doing well. One student who had failed all of his previous math courses spent three weeks teaching the others about probability. The lesson learned here is that if students are given the opportunity to take control or contribute significantly to their own learning they will become more accomplished, more engaged and more knowledgeable.

The students in the project are remarkable because they demonstrate the kinds of learning and personal growth that are possible when teenagers feel ownership of their high school experience，learn things that matter to them and learn together.

60. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Some students might drop out of high school.

B. Th e teachers monitored the students’ homework.

C. The students themselves solved all their problems.

D. The teachers evaluate the students’ performances.

A. didn’t need to learn common lesso ns

B. tended to escape from the whole society

C. were unwilling to share their experiences

D. focused on self-study and working together

62. The project made the students outstanding because .

A. they are unusually talented

B. they have better backgrounds

C. they have supportive teachers

D. they are owners of their education

C

For six hours we shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I'd bought in a market in Mozambique.

Southern Africa was full of stories and visions. We were almost drunk on sensations: the roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometer from clean water.

As we drove towards the setting sun, quietness fell over us. The road was empty -- we hadn't seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them -- brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.

I shouted to Dan: "Look!", but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet.

They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.

"Wild horses?" he said. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds."

"Are you sure you didn't dream it?"

"You were the one who was sleeping!"

'Typical, he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take."

We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.

63. During their journey in Africa, the two travelers________

A. made friends with local residents

B. complained about the poor living conditions

C. enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most

D. recorded their experiences in different ways

64. What does the phrase "heroic forms" in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Racing cars.

B. Wild horses.

C. Eye-catching locals.

D. Running dogs.

65. What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened?

A. He always missed out on the best thing.

B. He had already taken beautiful pictures.

C. A sound sleep was more important.

D. The next trip would be better.

66. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to view wildlife in Africa.

B. Running into wildlife in Africa.

C. Tourist attractions in southern Africa.

D. Possible dangers of traveling in the desert.

写作：

In some middle schools, iPads are introduced into classrooms to replace traditional textbooks

and assist teachers as well as students in teaching and learning. For us students, we have

different opinions toward this phenomenon. Some of us hold t he view that it’s a better way to

save paper, which definitely does good to environment protection. Moreover, using iPads brings

us efficiency and convenience.

However, others tend to believe that iPad costs so much money that not everyone can afford

it. Besides, if we spend large quantities of time playing games on it, there is a high risk of

being addicted to it, which of course will have bad impact on study.

As for me, I’m in favor of using iPad for we can search for abundant information which can’t

be found in traditional textbooks. Of course, every bean has its black. Therefore, it’s a matter

of how we can use it properly, not whether we should use it.
