Flying

Ever since I was old enough to dream, I have imagined myself soaring with the eagles. My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become. Two years ago, that passion rocketed to new heights when I had the opportunity to visit Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in

Arizona. For a whole week I lived in a college dorm, roomed with a total stranger and---best of

all---I flew!

My group took part in activities ranging from learning about the history of aviation (航空) to

flying in state-of-the-art pilot training simulators (模拟装置). At least once a day, I devoted myself

to learning one of the world’s best training aircrafts, the Cessna 182. Not only did I receive thorough

ground instruction, but I also got to fly. In total, I flew five hours to receive my private pilot’s license.

In that one joyous and oh-so-short week, my passion for aviation grew even stronger. Now, whenever I see a plane flying overhead, I feel a sense of pride thinking I’ve done that.

During my time in and above the Arizona desert, I learned not only about the mechanics and

techniques of aviation, but also about myself and how I see the world. As I floated in that seemingly

endless sea of air, I became aware of the variety and complexity of the humanity below. On the

ribbons of roadways, each tiny car carried people with hopes and dreams. I wondered if any of those

people had ever wished to fly like an eagle. Then I realized that each must have his or her own

dreams and ambitions. That’s what makes us unique. We try to respond to something special inside

us. I also realized that I was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true.

Everywhere I go, I hear, “Do what makes you happy and you will be happy.” It sounds like

standard advice, but I’ve really thought about it and taken it to heart. I couldn’t care less about how

much money I make or what benefits I receive. I know that I am already in hot pursuit(追逐) of my

dreams. And, even if they change, even if they finally don’t involve aviation, I’ll always aim to fly

with the eagles.

22、“A writer’s job is to tell the truth,” said Hemingway in 1942. No other writer of our time had so fiercely stated, or so consistently (一贯地) illustrated the writer’s duty to speak truly. His standard of truth-telling remained, moreover, so high and so strict that he was ordinarily unwilling to admit secondary evidence, whether literary evidence or evidence picked up from other sources than his own experience. “I only know what I have seen”, was a statement which came often to his lips and pen. What he had personally done, or what he knew unforgettably by having gone through one version of it, was what he was interested in telling about.

The primary intention of his writing, from first to last, was to seize and project for the reader what he often called “the way it was”. This is a characteristically simple phrase for a concept of extraordinary complexity, and Hemingway’s concept of its meaning subtly (微妙地) changed several times in the course of his career - always in the direction of greater complexity. At the core of the concept, however, one can invariably recognize the operation of three instruments of beauty appreciation: the sense of place, the sense of fact, and the sense of scene.

The first of these, obviously a strong passion with Hemingway, is the sense of place. “Unless you have geography, background,” he once told George Antheil, “you have nothing.” You have, that is to say, a dramatic vacuum. Few writers have been more place-conscious. Few have so carefully charted out the geographical ground work of their novels while managing to keep background so unnoticeable. Few, accordingly, have been able to record more economically and graphically the way it is when you watch the bulls running through the streets of Pamplona, Spain towards the bull-ring.

“When I woke it was the sound of the rocket exploding that announced the release of the bulls. Down below the narrow street was empty. All the balconies were crowded with people. Suddenly a crowd came down the street. They were all running, packed close together. They passed along and up the street toward the bull-ring and behind them came more men running faster, and then some stragglers (落后者) who were really running. Behind them was a little bare space, and then the bulls tossing their heads up and down. It all went out of sight around the corner. One man fell, rolled to the gutter (排水沟), and lay quiet. But the bulls went right on and did not notice him. They were all running together.”

【1】What’s the main idea of the first two paragraphs?

A．Hemingway’s writing began from reality and then he would let his mind wander.

B．Hemingway’s primary purpose in writing was to report faithfully reality as he experienced it.

C．Hemingway’s writing reflects his preference for a simple story that the reader would thoroughly enjoy.

D．Hemingway would construct a story that would reflect truths that were not particular to a specific historical period.

【2】It can be inferred from the passage that Hemingway preferred ______ as the sources for his work.

A．Stories that he had experienced rather than read about.

B．Stories that he had read about in newspapers or other sources.

C．Stories that he had heard from friends or chance acquaintances.

D．Stories that came to him in periods of deep thinking or in dreams.

【3】The author calls “the way it was” a “characteristically simple phrase for a concept of extraordinary complexity” because ______.

A．it shows how Hemingway understated complex issues in his books.

B．it reflects Hemingway’s talent for making ordinary events difficult to understand.

C．Hemingway’s obsession for geographic details overshadowed the dramatic element of his stories.

D．the relationship between simplicity and complexity reflected the relationship between the style and content of Hemingway’s writing.

【4】Why does the author include an except (节选) from The Sun Also Rises in the last paragraph?

A．To vividly illustrate how exciting the bull run is.

B．To demonstrate that all kinds of runners can take part in the bull run.

C．To show Hemingway’s delicate description of the background of the bull run.

D．To place greater emphasis on the importance of geography, economically speaking.

23、   I believe that my actions show my beliefs, not my words.

I wrote a letter to my kids a few years ago. It’s three pages long, and it sums up my life experience of four decades. By the time they reach adulthood, they will have heard most of their father’s advice in that letter: live in the moment, do not attach yourself to physical things, treat others the way you would like to be treated, etc. I sealed the letter in a white envelope, and wrote instructions that nobody should open it unless something horrible happened to me.

As a police officer, I have seen life disappear in an instant. I realize that could happen to me at any time. Yet knowing that letter is there in my locker makes me more comfortable with my own death.

Every day, when I open my locker, I see the letter. It makes me aware that I should be careful at work, and show my children and the people I have connection with that I try to practice everything I have written. If that day comes and my children finally read the letter, I hope that because of my actions, they will take my written beliefs to heart and improve upon my example.

But for me, it’s not enough to write down my beliefs. I try to be the best person I can be every day---even in very difficult circumstances. I am more successful some days than others, but sometimes I curse too much. Sometimes I am cynical, unwilling to believe that people have good and honest reasons for doing something. I also get stressed and upset, yelling at my kids sometimes, and sometimes I am not as loving or as sympathetic as I should be. In fact, I am far from perfect, but I hope my children will eventually realize that perfection is an illusion. What really matters is that, instead of just writing down our beliefs, we all take action to be the best humans we can be.

【1】Which of the following can best describe the author?

A.Hardworking and humorous. B.Courageous and sensitive.

C.Selfless. D.Considerate.

【2】Why did the author open the locker to see the letter every day?

A.He wanted to confirm his beliefs.

B.The letter served as a reminder.

C.He kept adding something new to it.

D.His kids asked him to check it.

【3】What can we learn about the letter written by the author?

A.The author was in his forties when writing it.

B.The kids were too young to understand the tips in it.

C.The author was sure of its positive effects on his kids.

D.The author hoped it wouldn’t be opened until bad things occurred.

【4】Which can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?

A.Doubtful about others’ motivations.

B.Curious about everything around.

C.Particular about himself.

D.Unsatisfied about his profession.

【5】What is the author’s understanding of life?

A.That fathers should take care of their children.

B.To become a perfect man.

C.To be better today than yesterday.

D.That bad guys deserve to be punished.

25、I believe in miracles because I’ve seen so many of them. One day, a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old. “There’s a _________ in my upper jaw, ” she said. “I told my own dentist it was nothing, but he _________ I come to see you. ”

Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her. He would _________ to add something, but she stopped him. She wanted to tell everything herself. I found a large cancer that spread over much of the _________ of her mouth. A careful examination later _________ that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.

During her next appointment, I explained to her the _________ of the problem. She clasped my hand in hers and said, “I know you’re worried about me, but I’m just _________. ”

I thought otherwise. After considerable _________ on my part, and kindness on her part because she wanted to please me, she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon. She saw him, but as I expected, _________ treatment.

About six months later she returned to my office, still energetic and __________.

“How are you?” I asked.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. The cancer that had covered nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness __________.

I had read of such things happening, but had __________ seen them with my own eyes. That was my first miracle. Since then I’ve seen many others, because they keep getting easier to see.
