This is a story of the lake and the three big fish that were in it, one of them intelligent, another half-intelligent, and the third, stupid.
Some fishermen came to the edge of the lake with their 36 . The three fish saw them. The intelligent fish decided at once to leave, to make the long, 37 trip to the ocean. He thought, ―I won‘t 38 those two on this. They will only weaken my resolve (决心), because they love this place so much. They call it home. Their ignorance will 39 them here.‖
Then he left. The half-intelligent fish thought, ―My guide has gone. I should have gone with him, but I didn‘t, and now I‘ve 40 my chance to escape. I wish I‘d gone with him.‖
He mourned the 41 of his guide for a while, and then thought, ―What can I do to 42 myself from these men and their nets? Perhaps if I pretend to be already 43 ! I‘ll belly up on the surface and float like weeds float, just giving myself totally to the water. To die before I die.‖
So he did that. He moved up and down, helpless, within arm‘s 44 of the fishermen. ―Look at this! The best and biggest fish is dead.‖ One of the men lifted him by the tail and threw him up on the ground. He 45 over and over and slid secretly near the water, and then, back in.
46 , the third fish, the dumb one, was smartly jumping about, trying to escape with his smartness.
The net, of course, finally closed around him, and as he lay in the terrible frying-pan bed, he thought, ―If I get out of this, I‘ll never live again in the limits of the lake. Next time, the 47 ! I‘ll make the infinite (无限的) my home.‖ 36. A. nets B. fishing poles C. fishing boats D. fish 37. A. easy B. wonderful C. difficult D. exciting 38.

Directions: complete the following passage by filling in each blank with ONLY ONE WORD that best fits the context. One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored kites of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies 48 beautiful birds dancing. 49 the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in check(在控制中). Instead of blowing away with the wind, 50 rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (限制的) string and 51 heavy tail kept them in check, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, ―Let me go! Let me go! I want to be 52 !‖ They soared(翱翔) beautifully even as they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. ―Free at last,‖ it seemed to say. ―Free to fly 53 the wind.‖ Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic breeze. It fell 54 to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds. Let us each rise to the great heights, recognizing that some of the restraints that we may be annoyed about are actually the steadying force 55 helps us rise and achieve.
PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION (2‘×15=30‘)
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
Nathan‘s second-hand bike was good enough to get him anywhere he wanted to go. Of course, it couldn‘t match Tim‘s in a normal speed race, but all the fancy gears in the world wouldn‘t get you up Black Mountain. The slope was so steep in places that you had to get off your bike and push.
On this particular afternoon, the odds were all on Nathan‘s side. For a start , he was stronger. Tim had always been thin, but recently he‘d started to grow so fast that his arms and legs were like pieces of Spaghetti. As well as being considerably fitter than his friend, Nathan knew the shortcuts up Black Mountain. So when Nathan accepted the challenge, he was sure he‘d win. He nearly always did, in competitions with Tim. That was what was strange. Tim was so competitive, and yet he wasn‘t any good at physical things.
By the time the two boys were three quarters of the way to the top, Nathan was clearly ahead. While the road zigzagged back and forth diagonally up the mountainside, in certain places there were also vertical tracks(垂直的小径), where water rushing down the slope in winter had bitten erosion courses into the soil. These had in turn been so overgrown by bushes and long grass in the spring that they resembled tunnels through the bush. The trick was to know where you could cut off a whole bend in the road by leaving the road and pushing your bike up one of these semi- concealed（半隐蔽的）pathways. If you chose the wrong one you‘d struggle up for ten minutes and

B
He's an old cobbler (修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: ―I haven't time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street ; he'll fix them for you right away.‖
But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). ―No,‖ I replied, ―the other fellow can't do it well.‖
―The other fellow‖ was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys ―while-U-wait‖— without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair.
My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron ( 围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, ―Come back in a week.‖
I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.
―See what I can do?‖ he said with pride. ―Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.. ‖
When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hot, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.
These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any

old way as long as it ―pays‖, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities.

Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behaviour, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive（不坦率的）person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn（顽固的）, but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up（卷曲）, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.
66. According to the writer，you naturally show your secret and real personality _______.
