She was a good swimmer,and the coach thought she might be good enough to become a champion(冠军).But the club was a long way from her home,so it was difficult for her to fit in the training around her schoolwork.

When they were teenagers,Jamie,who loved cycling,bought himself a special track-racing(场地赛的)bike and started taking part in competitions.Vicky thought itlooked very exciting and decided to try it for herself.She said that was the best decision she ever made.Soon she was cycling every day and doing really well.The track was near her school,which meant it was no problem for her to train after school every day.

Vicky went on to have a successful career in track cycling and won several competitions.Then,when she was28,she retired(退役)from cycling.Vicky said,“For years I’d loved winning competitions but I began to get tired of the whole thing. Luckily,I went on to have a new career.”

Vicky got a job with a charity called Cyelezone“We work with young people who have never enjoyed sport,”she said.“The first thing we do is teaching them to ride a bike.We help them learn to believe in themselves and their own abilities.

You probably know that the African elephant is the world’s largest land animal. But do you know about the world’s largest fish?The whale shark is our biggest fish and lives in many oceans,but few people have even heard of it.Scientists have not been studying whale sharks for very long.Much more needs to be learned about them.

A whale shark is sometimes called a“gentle giant”.The biggest whale shark weighs over24,000pounds and is nearly40feet long.It has a very broad head with a huge mouth at the front.The upper half of its body is dark grey with white spots.The skin on its back is thicker and tougher than the skin of any other animal.It likes to be alone and hardly cares about humans.We do not need to be afraid of them.

For such a giant fish,its eyes are small.Unlike many animals,a whale shark has no eyelids.To close its eyes for protection,the whale shark rolls its eyes and pulls them back into its head.Scientists think that sight must not be an important sense for the whale shark.They do know that whale sharks have special nerve endings(神经末梢)to help them find food,even in the dark deep ocean.

Inside that huge mouth are great numbers of tiny teeth.The whale shark’s teeth are in rows.There are between eleven and thirteen rows(排)on each jaw and around three hundred teeth in each row.A whale shark has at least three thousand teeth.

It was only a few years ago that scientists discovered how whale shark babies are born.Strangely enough,a female whale shark hatches(孵化)eggs inside her body. Then she gives birth to live young called pups.One whale shark was recorded as having three hundred pups!

For a few months every year,a group of whale sharks comes to Ningaloo Reef (礁),off Western Australia.This gives scientists a wonderful chance to study the huge fish.Whale sharks do live in other oceans of the world,but no one knows their total population.It is possible that our biggest fish may need protecting.It is one of the reasons why scientists continue to learn about these gentle giants.

51.What’s the difference between a whale shark’s eyes and most animals’?

A.They have no eyelids.

B.They stay closed in water.C.They move from side to side.

D.They become dark during the day.52.In Paragraph4,how does the writer tell about the whale shark’s mouth?

A.By comparing sizes.

B.By using numbers.

C.By giving examples.

D.By describing shapes

53.Why do scientists know little about whale sharks?

A.Because scientists find them too difficult to watch.

B.Because scientists have studied them for only a short time.

C.Because scientists do not know the best places to find them.

D.Because scientists are not interested in learning about them.

54.Which sentence best supports the idea that whale sharks are gentle?

A.They leave humans alone.

B.They give birth to live young.

C.They have special nerve endings.

D.They have small eyes and tiny teeth.

55.We can probably find this article in__________.

A.My Life on the Sea:The Diary of a Sailor

B.Facts About Australia’s Reefs and Beaches

C.Getting to Know the Sea’s Unusual Animals

D.Larger than life:Great Animals on the Land

Ludwig van Beethoven was one of the greatest composers of all time.He was born in1770in Bonn,Germany.When he was4years old,his father started teaching him to play the piano.Later,Beethoven took lessons from other teachers.He also learned to play the violin and the organ.

In1787,when Beethoven was17,he visited Vienna,Austria.There,he played for a famous musician named Mozart.Beethoven moved to Vienna in1792to study with another famous musician,Haydn.Beethoven lived in Vienna the rest of his life.

Beethoven played music that other people had written.But he also liked toimprovise(即兴创作).Beethoven would ask someone to play a few notes on a piano. Then he’d sit down and play those same few notes and add more.Soon,he would create a whole new tune.

As a composer,Beethoven was a great talent.He liked to write,or compose,his own music.He heard music in his head.Then he wrote the songs down on paper. While writing,Beethoven played his songs on the piano to hear how they sounded. He would rewrite his music over and over.Finally,he would be pleased with his new music.

Around1798,Beethoven started going deaf.At first,he had trouble hearing people talk.Later,he couldn’t hear his own music.By1820,Beethoven was totally deaf.Though he couldn’t hear,Beethoven kept playing music.He even kept composing!When Beethoven composed,he“heard”the tunes in his mind.Then he wrote them down.How did Beethoven hear music in his head?Softly sing aloud a song you know well,like Mary Had a Little Lamb.As you sing,you can hear the song with your ears.Now silently sing the same song to yourself in your mind.Can you hear how it sounds inside your head?

Beethoven composed his most famous pieces of music after he was deaf.These pieces include Moonlight Sonata and his Symphony(交响乐)No.5and Symphony No
