He was just 23 years old and he built the plane himself. How did he achieve this?Irving’s interest in flying started when he was 15. He was working in his parents’ bookstore in Miama, Florida. One of the customers was a pilot, Gary Robinson. One day, Robinson asked Irving if he was interested in flying. Irving didn’t think he was smart enough. But the next day, Robinson took Irving to an airport. He showed Irving inside the cockpit (驾驶舱) of a Boeing 777. That experience changed Irving’s life. Irving really wanted to fly, but a flight school was expensive. To achieve his dream, he did different jobs. He washed airplanes and cleaned swimming pools. At home, he practiced flying on a video game. In the end, he got enough money for a flight school. At the flight school, Irving achieved his dream of learning how to fly. But he wasn’t finished. Next, he planned to build his own plane and fly alone around the world. Building the plane was difficult. Irving asked more than 50 companies for airplane parts. Most said no, but he insisted (顽强地坚持) in asking. Three years later, he had parts worth $300,000. Columbia, an airplane company, agreed to build a plane using the parts. Soon, his plane was ready to fly On March, 2007, Irving began his round-the-world trip. After 97 days—with 145 hours in the air—he landed back in Miami. A cheering crowd of people were there to welcome him. Irving saw many young people in the crowd, and this had a powerful effect (影响) on him. He wanted to use his experience to help other young achieve their own dreams.“Everyone told me what I couldn’t do,” says Irving. “They said I was too young, and that I didn’t have enough money. But even if no one believes in your dream,” he says, “you have to pursue (追求) it.”24．Why was Gary Robinson important in Irving’s life?A．He got Irving interested in flying.B．He sent Irving to a flight school.C．He helped Irving build a plane.D．He taught Irving how to fly.25．What does the writer want to show us by writing the 3rd and the 4th paragraphs?A．To show us how we can achieve our dreams.B．To show us that interest is the best teacher.C．To show us that Irving tried very hard to achieve his goals.D．To show us that Irving was a lucky person.26．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Becoming a Pilot. B．Life in Flight School.C．Achieving a Dream. D．Building You Own Plane. These days, teenagers are heavily influenced by the media. Many of them have watched thousands of hours of TV. That’s more time than they spend with teachers at school. And we haven’t considered the hours they spend using the Internet and reading newspapers.However, several studies have shown a serious problem: today’s teenagers lack media literary (媒体素养). In other words, they have difficulty critically thinking about the information they see. One study that was done on middle school students showed that more than 80 percent of them didn’t tell the difference between real stories and ads that looked like news.Standford professor Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects. He tries to help his students learn media literary. The professor gave an example that shows why media literary is important. In the example, two news stations report a snowstorm. The other focuses on kids playing in the snow. “With a news story, news stations tell you what they feel are the important details (细节). These details mostly depend on the opinions of the news director,” said John. “A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is about one side at this time. There is more going on.”Some experts think the school is the best place to teach media literacy. Others believe everyone — from parents to reporters — should help teenagers learn the skills.As for the best time to start learning literacy, many experts suggest the age of 12. But some basic ideas can be taught even earlier. “It’s never too early to start learning media literacy,” John said.27．The underlined word “lack” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____________” in Chinese.A．提高 B．降低 C．关注 D．缺乏28．Professor Kevin John agrees that _________.A．everyone is supposed to help children learn about media literacyB．children should be taught media literacy at an early ageC．teenagers should focus more on news report than on other reportsD．children should spend more time on their school work than on other things29．By mentioning the example, Kevin John wants to tell us that _________.A．it is not right to describe those kids playing happily in a snowstormB．teenagers should know that there are different sides to the same thingC．snowstorms may cause a lot of trouble for peopleD．news reports are usually more serious and we can always believe it30．The passage is mainly about _________.A．how to develop teenagers’ media literacyB．where teenagers should be taught media literacyC．why teenagers are supposed to have media literacyD．when teenagers should learn media literacy  四、阅读还原7选5In western society, especially in the English-speaking world, the chance for young people to visit other countries is considered important. Many young people spend a year traveling in different countries after they finish high schooly at the age of 18 before they go to university (They call “it” a gap year). ____31____.Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like, some parents may be worried about their children’s safety but more think that the advantage of independence are worth the worries. ____32____.Young people also want to experience freedom and see what life is like on the other side. This other side could be the other side of the world or just the other side of life. ____33________34____ A little bit of growing up and experience will help them make their important decisions about jobs, especially when they are unsure about what they want to study in college.Another reason for a gap year is to get a break from studying before they start the next few years of university.
