The well－known Rushmore National Monument in the United States is built on the Rush Moore Peak，1829 meters above sea level，of the Black Hills in the south－west of South Dakota. It is a group of huge stone statues of four American presidents，George Washington，Thomas Jefferson，Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. President Washington is the founding father of the country；the 3rd President Jefferson drafted the U. S. Declaration of Independence；the 16th President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation and the26th President Roosevelt protected the average people’s right to compete fairly with trusts. All 1829 meters above sea level， made outstanding achievements for their country. They were pioneers of U. S. history.
The stone statues of presidents were built at the suggestion of an historian in the State of Dakota，with a view to carrying forward the U. S. pioneering spirit everlastingly.
The statues are 18meters high. They are the highest and greatest realistic stone statues in the world，taller than a 6－storied building and larger than the Great Sphinx of Egypt. The size of each head is 20sq mt，with a 20-meter- long face，a 7-meter -long nose，a 2.6-meter- wide mouth and two 1.5-meter -wide eyes. Though not facing the same direction，they are all lifelike and look ahead gravely in harmony with fixed gazes. On clear days，one can have a sight of the four presidents with their firm and steady expression at a distance of dozens of kilometers.
Since the stone sculpture is unique in style，the Monument is now the U. S. National Art Centre of Popular Education. Groups of people keep streaming everyday to the site for a visit and tourists across the world are also interested in taking a view of this great Monument.

I moved to this small town at the age of twelve．After getting 36 in our new house and starting school，I began to explore the 37 area．I was exploring the pond when I discovered the fish．
There were two of them，one about a foot long， 38 the other just a little smaller，and they were the most beautiful fish I had 39 seen．They had blue and yellow and red 40 from head to tail．Before they saw me，they swam 41 over the sand just under the front edge of the large cedar(杉)tree which had long before fallen 42 the pond．
I went back the next day after school 43 with about six feet of fishing line and a hook borrowed from our elderly neighbor．and half a dozen worms I had 44 out of the garden．We did not own any fishing tool，and 45 a city kid，my fishing experience, had 46 week long visits to my relatives．
I took a shortcut 47 some fallen cedars on my way to the pond．As I was climbing over one tree and ducking under another，I _48 my footing，and my soup can of worms went flying into the air．My 49 was only increased when I noticed that my worms had disappeared．
I went to the pond，looked down again，and there they were．I made a few 50 to catch them by hand，but I soon realized it was never going to 51 ．I had been trying to catch them for quite a while without actually even 52 either one．After each attempt，they 53 suddenly go around the pool，then settle back under the log．They could really go 54 ，but they were just too fast to be caught．I was wet and 55 and it was time to go home．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中(A、B、c和D)00，选出最佳选项，并在答卡上将该项涂黑。
Ryan and Lowry had been friends since high school， but it wasn’t until after college
that they hit on the idea of a home—care-products company．“We were shocked to learn how toxic cleaning products were，” says Ryan． Why couldn’t they create green products that would be just as environmentally pure as Aveda’s skin—and—hair—care lines?
When Ryan’s mom heard about the plan，she stared at him blankly: “I’ve never even seen you clean your room!” Not discouraged，Lowry experimented with nontoxic ways to clean． while Ryan focused on marketing． In February 2001，they mixed their first four cleaning sprays and convinced the managers of 20 grocers to try them· Once they had their approval，they tapped friends and family and pooled their savings to come up with $90，000 in seed money．
From the start，“Go big or go home’’was their mantra(口头禅)．Their first financing— that $l million—was due to be signed on September 11, 2001. By the time they got it, two months later，says Ryan, "we had$16 in the bank and personally owed$300，000·”
Seeking a national retailer(零售商)proved just as troublesome．The friends set their sights on Target，known for its trendy，affordable goods．“But Target didn’t like the product or the brand，”recalled Ryan．“We thought the deal was dead，but then a new buyer saw that even though we weren’t selling big volumes, we were profitable, just on a smaller scale．”They won over Target．
Consumers were hooked on the natural things and wonderful fragrance. Today，the partners sell 130 products in more than 8,000 stores，and taxes are over$100 million. Such rapid growth has at times stressed the men’s friendship． “Eric and I agree on ‘what’ but never on‘how，’” says Lowry． “Although we are willing to challenge each other，we come up with interesting and smarter solutions．There’s little fire and ice between us·
56．The underlined word“toxic”in Paragraph 1 most probably means——·
A．poisonous B．dirty C．expensive D．troublesome
57．When Ryan told his mom his plan, ___________.
A．he knew his mom was sure to support him
B．his mom asked him to clean his room
C．his mom suspected his ability
D．he was discouraged by his mom
58．We can learn：from the third paragraph that __________________．
A．Ryan and Lowry wanted to gave up and go home at first
B．their plan didn’t go smoothly at the very beginning
C．they made profit two months later after their first financing
D．$1 million was not enough as their seed money
59．The partners’cleaning products are sold very well because——．
A．the products are made of natural material and smell nice
B．their friends and family offered to use their products
C．they cooperated with a well—known national retailer
D．they convinced 20 grocer managers to try them
60．It can be inferred from the—passage that——．
A．Aveda’s skin—and—hair-care lines are not so successful as Ryan and Lowry’s
B．Target is a famous environment-friendly cleaning brand
C．The friends "cooperation with Target was very successful
D．The partners get on well with each other in their business

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后面的要求答题。
The success of a speech is often due to the skill of the speaker who is confident，knowledgeable and able to deliver a speech clearly and effectively．
But often it is not the speakers who write these moving speeches；it is a speechwriter. And polities is one industry in which this practise is common．．So what does it take to be a political speechwriter?
According to a recent job advertisement from the US Embassy in Britain，a political speechwriter needs to have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to demonstrate a deep knowledge of their subject．They must also work closely with speakers and be able to relate to the speakers’ style．
Some believe that the best speechwriters have a—born talent，a natural creative ability， and that speechwriting is an art.
What about those of us who _______? Can we still produce successful speeches?
In an interview with the BBC，Dr Atkinson(a communications specialist)outlined a
number of speechwriting techniques．He also explained how the．se techniques have been used in historic speeches．
One such technique is introducing contrast(对比)．This is extremely useful when presenting a positive influence on a negative issue. One of the most famous examples of this can be seen in a speech given by former American President John Kennedy：“Ask not what your country can do for you，but what you can do for your country.”
Another technique is the use of three—part lists．Dr Atkinson explains that this can be an excellent way of confirming a statement．Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was a fan of this technique．One of his most famous campaign Slogans(口号)was“education， education，education”.
