Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “When anything happens, believe in yourself”. When I was a young boy, I was so shy that I was afraid to talk to anyone. Later, something happened, and it changed my life.

It was an English speech contest (竞赛). My English teacher asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of school! “Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win.” Then my teacher and 1 talked about many different topics. At last I chose the topic (话题) “Believe in yourself”. I tried my best to remember all the speech and practised it over 100 times. With my teacher’s great love, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers and students. All said “Congratulations (祝贺)!” to me. My teacher hugged me and cried excitedly.

Since then, everything has changed. When I do anything, I’ll try to tell myself to be sure and I will find myself.

Modern life is impossible without travelling. The fastest way to travel is by air. With a modern plane you can travel in one day to places which took a month or more one hundred years ago.

Travelling by train is slower than by air, but it has its advantages. You can see the country you are travelling in. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.

Some people prefer to travel by sea when it is possible. There are large liners (邮轮) and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different places. Travelling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.

Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish: where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or a hotel to spend the night. So travelling by car is beloved for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are travelling on business.

61. What is the advantage of travelling by plane?

A. It’s quieter. B. It’s cheaper. C. It’s faster. D. It’s cleaner.

62. What can we do when travelling by train?

A. Have a good service.  B. Make own timetable.

C. Stop at any place.  D. Enjoy the country.

63. What can we know about travelling by sea?

B. It has large liners and river boats.

C. It’s the slowest way to spend a holiday.

D. It’s a good choice of travelling for business.

64. What does the underlined word “beloved” probably mean?

A. Popular. B. Impossible. C. Terrible. D. Safe.

65. What can be the best title of this passage?

A. Modern Life  B. Ways to Travel

C. Future Transportation  D. Advantages of Travelling

Ⅸ. 任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，按要求完成66～70题。

We each have a memory. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have surprising memories.

A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a little child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the students have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. But your memory will become better when you do more exercises.

66、67题完成句子；68题简略回答问题；69题找出并写下第二段的主题句；70题将文中画线句子译成汉语。

Henry Ford truly changed the world. He was born on July 30, 1863. He was the    71    (old) son of a farmer. He grew    72    on a farm in Michigan. Like most farmers at that time, his father William    73    (wish) him to help on the farm.    74    Henry did not like the farm work at all. He thought it was boring. Once he wrote, “What a waste it is for a man to spend hours behind a    75    (slow) moving horse.”
