阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Two runners stand side by side at the starting line of a race. Both look very strong and fast. 36one runner speeds ahead and wins the race. The other falls behind.
Some athletes can reach great 37 such as the achievement of an Olympic gold medal. Others never live up to their 38. What kind of 39 before a race or another event makes the 40?
Everyone knows that athletes work out to strengthen their 41.But research shows that strengthening the mind may be just as 42. Careful study indicates(表明) that the best athletes win 43 because they think they can win.
Thinking positive thoughts seems to give possibility for 44 in sports. People who say to themselves over and over,“I know I can do this,” often find they have the 45 to win. On the other hand, people often 46, who think,“I can’t win.”
One procedure that helps many athletes is creating 47 in the mind. They are told to think of each 48 they must make to win. Some use pictures that are more fanciful. One skater liked to 49 a star bursting inside her, 50 her with energy. Another athlete who wanted to feel 51 pictured himself as a 52 floating in the air.
Next time you want to do something well, try training your 53 to help you. Perhaps a teacher or another instructor can help you plan your training. If you imagine yourself doing better, you may soon see54in what you55can do .Positive thinking and pictures created in your mind can help you win!

A Hints on safety
Nearly everyone is attracted to water, whether it is the sea, canals, rivers or the village pond. Beautiful as it is, water should be regarded with respect as it can be hazardous. Around 300 children up to the age of ten die each year from drowning. It should be every parent's responsibility to ensure that both he and the child can swim and that as the child get older, he has some knowledge of lifesaving and artificial respiration(人工呼吸).
The basic rule of water safety are:
—don't leave small children playing alone in water.
—never swim an hour before or an hour after a main meal.
—if it's a danger area, find out before you start swimming where the lifeguard is or where a life belt is available(可提供的).
—as children get older, try to teach to remain calm in an emergence(紧急情况)
—look out for warning signs to see whether you're in a danger area(see under this).Be especially careful of inland stretches of water-pools, reservoirs(水库) and dykes(沟)
—where there are often fewer people about than at the seaside.

Let's pretend we're sailing down the Rhine River on a pleasure boat. The Rhine is one of the main waterways of Germany, and the river traffic is heavy. It's interesting to watch the many boats going up and down the river. But the river traffic is not nearly so interesting as the beautiful scenery along the banks and hillsides. The boat is passing many old castles. We can see people working in the vineyards (葡萄园) on the hillsides. There are vineyards as far as the eye can see. Wine from the Rhine Valley is famous all over the world.
Suddenly our boat slows down and begins to turn a little. We are coming to a sharp bend in the river. On our right we can see a rocky cliff over 400 feet high. At first it looks quite ordinary, but there is nothing ordinary about it. There are many stories, poems, and songs about the cliff. We are looking at the Lorelei.
The someone on the boat begins to sing in German, the song of the Lorelei. It is a song about a beautiful siren (美女) who has lured many sailors to their deaths.
The siren is supposed to sit on the rock combing her long golden hair and singing. The sailors who hear her forget to steer, and the current of river hurls their boats on the rocks and dashes them to pieces.
Soon other people on the boat begin to sing. The beautiful song adds to special magic to the moment, and you begin to realize why so many people have made this trip down the Rhine to see the rock of the Lorelei.
64. The more interesting thing to those who are sailing down the Rhine River on a pleasure boat is .
A. to watch many boats going up and down the river
B. to see the beautiful scene along the banks and hillsides

With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most heated argument across the United States today is the death penalty(死刑). Many argue that it is an effective deterrent(威胁) to murder, while others think there is no enough proof that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.
The argument advanced by those opposed(反对) to the death penalty is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is the tile mark of a bad society and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime(罪行) anyway.
In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary action. Throughout recorded history there have always been those peculiar persons in every society who made terrible crimes such as murder. But some are more dangerous than others.
For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in time of blind anger, but quite another to coldly plan and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of different degree. While it could be argued with some reason that the criminal in the first instance should be merely kept from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.
The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to discussion. But the majority of people believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is proved by the fact that the death penalty prevents murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was carried out from time in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100,000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been done only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10. 4 murders for each 100,000 population. The sharp climb in the state's murder rate, which began when killing stopped, does not happen by chance. It certainly shows that the death penalty does deter many murderers. If the law about death penalty is vetoed(否决), some people will be murdered some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is really a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of people must be protected.
68. The main purpose of this passage is to .
A. speak for the majority B. support a veto
C. speak ill of the government D. argue for the value of the death penalty
69.Which of the following is among the heated arguments across the USA besides death penalty?
A. Air pollution. B. The war against Iraq.
C. Equal rights. D. Election fo president.
70. The numbers in the last paragraph show that .
A. if they stick to death penalty, the number of murders will be reduced
B. death penalty almost stopped from 1954 to 1963
C. the population of California has risen
D. death penalty is of little value
71. It can be inferred that the writer thinks that .
A. the death penalty is the most important problem in the United States today
B. the second type of murderers (in Paragraph 4) should be sentenced to death
C. the veto of the law about penalty is of little importance
D. the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be discussed

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind—football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering(登山).
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure(闲暇).
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no manmade rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from manmade rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a“team game”.We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between“teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps(阿尔卑斯山）.They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
72.Mountaineering lovers may suffer from the following except .
A.cold B.hardship
C.risk D.astonishment
73.The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of .
A.activity B.rules
C.uniform D.time
74.Mountaineers compete against .
A.nature
B.each other
C.other teams
D.international standards
75.The best title for the passage might be .
A.Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football
B.Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other Sports
C.Mountaineering
D.Mountain Climbers

Three of them were piled high with valuable things. The fourth room held a huge coffin. In it, there were three more coffins, one inside the other .

Dear Mr. Brown,
I’m now safely back home. Thank you very much for all the kindness I got from you during my stay. Hope everything is fine with you there.
Now I wonder whether I could ask you a favor. When I came back, I suddenly realized that I had left my English dictionary behind at your place. It is a precious gift from my American teacher. Would you please be so kind as to send it back to me? I’ll pay for the postage. The dictionary must be on the bookshelf in my bedroom. It is the one with a red cover.
Thanks and all the best.
Yours,
Li Hua
