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. 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. Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made 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 man-made 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 team work. 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. 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. 【1】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A.Differences between Golf and Mountaineering. B.Sports and Games. C.Mountaineering. D.Why are so many people crazy about mountaineering? 【2】The mountaineering can also be called a team sport because A.mountain climbers usually compete in,groups B.mountaineers depend on each other while climbing C.mountaineering climbers are free to use their own rules to climb D.mountaineering is a sport not a game 【3】In the author's opinion, one of the most important reason why so many people enjoy mountaineering is that A.there are no man-made rules, for mountaineers B.mountaineering is a sport and not a game C.it is one of the most dangerous sports D.mountaineering bring us more enjoyment than other sports |

Light pollution is blocking a starry view of the night sky for more than half of people across England, a research has found. Fifty-seven percent of stargazers struggled to see more than 10 stars, while just 2% of participants said they experienced a truly dark sky making them be able to count more than 30, according to the research by the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE). People in the countryside were encouraged to count how many stars they could see with eyes within the constellation of Orion, which is visible only in the winter months. Campaigners said the results of the star count, supported by the British Astronomical Association, showed the problem of light pollution and how it affected one of the countryside's most magical sights-a dark, starry night sky. They said the results of the research to map England's night skies suggested more could be done by the government, local councils and the general public to reduce the negative effects of artificial light from streets and buildings. Emma Marrington, dark skies campaigner at the CPRE, said "We're hugely grateful to the people who took the time to get out and take part in our star count. But it's deeply disappointing that the vast majority were unable to experience the natural wonder of a truly dark sky blanketed with stars. " Without any action, our night sky will continue to be lost under a covering of artificial light, ruining the health of the natural world. She added: "The star count results show just how far-reaching the light from street lights and buildings can be seen. Light doesn't respect boundaries, and careless use can see it spread for, miles from cities.” She suggested better-designed lighting, street light dimming systems and part-night lighting where some street lights are turned off during the small hours should provide an, opportunity to limit the damage caused by light pollution, reduce carbon emissions and save money. 【1】What causes the light pollution according to the text? A.More and more buildings. B.Less and less outdoor activities. C.The overuse of artificial light. D.The spread of light in the countryside. 【2】How does Emma feel about the stargazers' efforts? A.Disappointed. B.Surprised. C.Regretful. D.Appreciative. 【3】What is Emma's suggestion for dealing with the light pollution? A.Using street lights wisely. B.Turning off lights at night. C.Spreading light further. D.Changing the streets' design. |

Saving the giant panda from extinction isn't just good for the bears-it's good for the bottom line too,a new analysis by an international team of scientist shows. The results,published in the journal Current Biology,highlight the economic benefits that they say go hand in hand with environmental conservation. In order to protect giant pandas,the government must protect their forests,which provide a host of often-under appreciated services to the communities that live in and around them. For example,forests allow for the growing of crops and the grazing(放牧）of animals,store clean fresh water and supply firewood,lumber(木材）and many useful plants.They manage storm runoff and help prevent erosion(侵蚀）。 The pandas themselves also hold enormous cultural value that has risen rapidly in recent decades among Chinese residents,the study also points out. "From 1980 to 2010,the cultural values of pandas and their reserves almost doubled,largely driven by tourism use,rising 500-fold from 1980 to 2010, "they said. Taking all of these factors into account,the scientists calculated a total economic value of Approximately $2. 6 billion in 2010 in China. Keep in mind,the costs of preserving panda habitat at current levels come to about$255 million. The study authors said that including the global cultural Value of the animals would increase the total economic value to $6. 9 billion per year-or about 27 times the cost of habitat preservation. The researchers also noted that the investment in panda habitat has improved the living conditions of local residents. They pointed to data from the Chinese Statistical Yearbook showing that the annual income in Sichuan, Shanxi and Gansu provinces,which sit next to panda reserves,rose by an average of 56%from 2000 to 2010. Farmers in counties within these provinces that were next to the panda reserves saw their annual incomes rise by 64%,on average. The findings provide a promising example of how conservation efforts can pay off,and they could be applied to many other threatened and endangered species,the study authors said. 【1】What does the underlined words "bottom line"refer lo in the first paragraph? A.Moral standard. B.Economic profits. C.Overall development. D.Environmental conservation. 【2】Which is one of the results of preserving pandas? A.Less farmland. B.More foreign trade. C.More forest fires. D.Better farming conditions, 【3】In China,about how many times do economic values outweigh preserving cost? A.26. B.10. C.4. D.3. 【4】What's the main idea of the passage? A.Protecting pandas takes great efforts. B.Pandas are a major tourism attraction in China. C.Conservation of pandas is economically rewarding. D.Pandas make great contributions to the environment. |

Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn't matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting. 【1】 We're usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This 'self-talk' helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. 【2】 Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. 【3】 Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: 【4】 If what we want to say doesn't pass this test, then it's better left unsaid. Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. 【5】 Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours. A. Is it loving? B. How should I say it? C. We all talk to ourselves sometimes. D. Negative words destroy all those things. E. Generally people like positive and pleasant words. F. However, critical language may cause anger and defense. G. So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves. |

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 Long ago, there was a big apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the top of the tree, ate the apples, and took a nap under the shadow... He loved the tree and the tree also enjoyed playing with him. As time went by, the little boy grew up and he no longer played around the tree. One day, the boy came back to the tree, appearing sad. "Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy gently. "I am no longer a kid; I won’t play around trees anymore,” the boy replied, "I want toys. I need money to buy them." "Sorry, but I don't have money. However, you can pick all my apples and sell them. Then, you will have money." The boy was so excited that he picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy didn't come back after that. The tree was upset. One day, the boy returned and the tree was so joyful. "Come and play with me,” the tree said. "I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?" "Sorry, I don't have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house." So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left with delight. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn't appear since then. The tree was again lonely and sad. One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and play with me!” the tree requested. "I am sad and becoming old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?" "Use my trunk to build the boat. You can sail and be happy." So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and did not show up for along time. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1： Many years later, the boy finally returned. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： The apple tree is our mother. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ |
