　I’ve always loved pigeons(鸽子). Some years ago I managed to persuade my wife to let me buy a few and start  21  them myself. They cost a lot of money and so it spoilt(破坏)our 　22  a bit, but my wife never actually stopped me so I  23  carried on. I learnt so much about them that I could   24 a good racer anywhere and I bought some beauties. My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of  25 .
　　You see, people are prepared to pay big prices if they get to know that your pigeons are   26 big prizes.
　　My wife had been changing her  27  to the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She was quite  28  of all the prizes we’d won. Then there was the traveling, which she liked. You see someone has to take the pigeons a  29 way off and release them. Some of the 30 were really nice. I never traveled. I used to like to wait at home and see them come in. They’ve got this wonderful sense of  31  , which can bring them back home so quickly. They’d flown hundreds of miles sometimes  32 storms or against strong winds. And there they’d come, tiny white birds against the great  33 . Then I’d watch them  34  round and come down onto the landing shelf. I’d look at my watch and think, “My goodness, that’s a good   35 .” And I’d take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to   36  what time he’d arrived. Then my wife would  37  up and say, “Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if we’d won  38  .
　　Then last year we had a  39 ! One  of them got some sort of flu(流行病)and died, then they all  40  . It was terrible, I had to burn them all. We lost a fortune, of course.

III．阅读理解(40分)
A
It is important to understand what Americans mean when they say believe in equality of opportunity. They do not mean that everyone is –or should be-equal. However, they do mean that each individual(个人)should have an equal chance for success. Americans see much of life as a race for success. For them, equality means everyone should have an equal chance to enter the race and win. In other words, equality of opportunity may be thought of as a moral rule. It helps ensure that the race of success is a fair one and that a person does not win just because he or she was born into a wealthy family.
There is, however, a price to be paid for this equality of opportunity ; competition. If much of life is seen as a race, then a person must run the race in order to succeed: a person must compete with others. If every person has an equal chance to succeed in the United States, then it is every person’s duty to try, Americans match their energy and intelligence against that of their neighbors in a competition. People who like to compete and are more successful than others are honored by being called “winners”. On the other hand, those who do not like to compete and are not successful when they try are often dishonored by being called “losers”. This is especially true for women.
The pressures of competition in the life of an American begin in childhood and continue until retirement from work. Learning to compete successfully is part of growing up in the United States. In a recent opinion poll(民意调查), 60 percent of the American people agreed with this statement: ”It is not healthy for young people to refuse to believe that winning in competition and the desire to win are healthy and desirable. Only 28 percent disagreed.
The pressure to compete causes an American man to be energetic, but it also places a constant emotional strain(压力) on him. When he retires at age 65 , he is at last free from the pressures of competition. But then a new problem arises. He tends to feel useless and unwanted in a society that gives so much prestige(威望)to those who compete well. This is one reason why older people in the United States do not have as much honor and respect as they have in other, less competitive societies. In fact, any group of people who do not compete successfully-for whatever reason-do not fit into the mainstream(主流)of American life as well as those who do.
41. When Americans say they believe in equality of opportunity, they mean ________
A. everyone is equal
B. everyone should have a right to compete for success
C. everyone should earn enough prestige.
D. everyone should have a good chance for a good job.
42. American people think of much of life as ___
A. a fight against others B. a success C. an equal competition
D. a right to gain prestige from the society.
43. Americans admire the people who ____
A. like to compete and make more achievements than others.
B. think it their duty to compete but are not necessarily successful
C. are successful in their careers.
D. don’t enter the race for success
44. From the passage we know ___
A. only men are required to enter the race for success.
B. more and more women stay at home because they are afraid of failure in competitions
C. women are not required to be successful
D. more and more women are going out and required to be successful like men.
B
You do not need every word to understand the meaning of what you read. In fact, too much emphasis(强调) on separate words both slows your speed and reduces your comprehension.
First, any habit which slows down your silent reading to the speed at which you speak, or read aloud, is inefficient. If you point to each word as you read, or move your head, or form the words with your lips, you read poorly. Less obvious habits also hold back reading efficiency (效率). One is "saying" each word silently by moving your tongue or throat; another is "hearing" each word as you read.
These are habits which should have been outgrown long ago. The beginning reader is learning how letters can make words, how written words are pronounced, and how sentences are put together. Your reading purpose is quite different; it is to understand meaning.
It has been supposed that up to 75% of the words in English sentences are not really necessary for expressing the meaning. The secret of silent reading is to find out those key words and phrases which carry the thought, and to pay less attention to words which exist only for grammatical completeness.
An efficient reader can grasp the meaning from a page at least twice as fast as he can read the page aloud. He takes in a whole phrase or thought unit at a time. If he “says" or "hears" words to himself, they are selected ones, said for emphasis.
45. This passage is mainly about ______.
A. improving eye movement B. reading more widely
C. changing poor reading habits D. reading as fast as you can
46. Saying each word to yourself as you read _____.
A. improves comprehension B. increases reading speed
C. gives too much emphasis D. reduces reading efficiency
47. Your reading purpose should be _____.
A. to understand all the words
B. to make fewer eye movements
C. to understand meaning
D. to understand the grammatical structures
48. While reading, efficient readers usually _____.
A. move their eyes quickly
B. take in whole phrases or thought units
C. point at key words
D. read only important points for speed

To Lauder Exchange Program:
Gaia Filicori was a student in my Humanities class for the 2002-2003 year. From the first week of classes it was obvious that Gaia was an excellent student and a very sociable young lady. She was always eager to join in class discussions. Gaia's ability to communicate her own ideas is a skill that many of us work for a very long time to achieve.
Gaia also has a deep curiosity about the world around her. The simple fact that she desires to spend a year in another country is proof enough. I have also seen her show this curiosity in class. She asked some of the most interesting and thoughtful questions of any of the students in her class. When others were content to accept a point, Gaia would see from a new angle(角度) that none of us had tried.
As a student in Humanities, Gaia was required to complete a group project. The project was to write a page for a Humanities textbook using text and multi-media. It was a challenging task and Gaia's group was experiencing some difficulties. Yet, they had an easier time of it because they did not hesitate to come to me with their problems and try to work them out. As a result Gaia and her group had one of the more successful projects. The ability it needs to recognize a problem and ask for help to solve it will be of great value if she is selected to be an Lauder Exchange Student.
Gaia's interest in the world around her will serve her well as a Lauder Exchange student. The ease with which she gets along with others and the ease with which she makes new friends will also help her as she tries to learn in a foreign setting. I have no doubts that Gaia would be a wonderful representative of the Lauder Program, Stuyvesant High School, and the United States.
