21、

Meet Ben Saunders: adventurer, athlete, motivational speaker. Ben, at the age of 23, was the youngest man to ski solo (单人滑雪) to the North Pole. He dragged a 180-kilogramme sledge (雪橇) over 1,420 miles through the worst Arctic conditions. This year, as well as planning a return to the Arctic, Ben plans to ski solo from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back in the autumn, carrying all his supplies on his sledge.

Ben Saunders was fired after persuading the firm to support his disorganized first adventure. “Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. We were attacked by a bear. We started running out of food. It was just desperate. And we didn't get to the Pole; we didn't get there, so we had no media interest. No one heard about it: no book deal, and no speaking. I was so unhappy.”

People said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole. I said, “No, I can get there,” and I did. Self-belief, I see it as being a bit like a muscle — it's my belief that the more you stretch (伸展) yourself the stronger it gets. If you never do anything that's uncomfortable or risky then your self-belief gets weaker. So that's one of the lessons I've figured out along the way. The thing that I've stretched and tested is my self-belief.

“My Antarctic adventure is just practicable and that's what is exciting to me. If I knew it was possible, if I knew I could do it without too much bother, I wouldn't be interested.” Why? “Personally I'm attracted by the human performance element to it. Not that long ago, running a marathon was seen as the top point of human attempt, and now I wouldn't be that surprised if my mum said she was going to run one next year.”

People's horizons (见识) are changing. “I'm not particularly gifted, and I'm absolutely average. I've just chosen this one goal to achieve and I've been working hard to realize it. That's it. And that's the thing that attracts me: with enough training and enough determination, enough focus and preparation, how far can we go? And I don't think I've found out yet.”

【1】What do we know about Ben Saunders' first adventure?

A. There was no press coverage.

B. It was supported by his company.

C. It was well planned and organized.

D. He actually reached the North Pole.

【2】According to Ben Saunders, if you want to stretch your self-belief, you should _____.

A. often test your confidence   B. try something adventurous

C. aim to reach the North Pole   D. always stretch your muscles

【3】Ben Saunders was excited about his Antarctic adventure because _____.

A. he liked running a marathon

B. he wanted to exercise his body

C. he knew it might be achievable

D. he was sure he could do it easily

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. We have to change our views about adventure.

B. We can never know our possibilities and energies.

C. We should have a reason for going on an adventure.

D. We have to be especially talented to have an adventure.

22、Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.

I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.

Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.

After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.

Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

D. faced strong competition from other candidates

A. asked to lead a farming team

B. sent to teach in a schoolhouse

C. received warmly by local villagers

D. arranged to live in a separate house.

23、The smilodon(剑齿虎)died out probably about ten thousand years ago. Although it is also known as the saber-toothed tiger, it is not a close relative of the modern tiger.

The more scientists study the two big cats, the more differences they find.

Tigers are not sociable animals. They generally travel by themselves. The smilodon, on the other hand, probably lived in groups. Tigers run fast while hunting their prey (猎物). But the smilodon, with much shorter tails than today's tigers, did not have the balance to run at top speeds. It probably caught its prey by hiding quietly until ananimal came near.

Another main difference between today's tiger and the smilodon is the size of teeth. The smilodon is known as a saber-toothed cat because of two huge teeth that grew from the top of its jaw(颌). These teeth grew up to nearly 18 cm long and were easily broken and damaged. The smilodon probably used the teeth to bite(咬) into soft parts of its prey's body, such as its stomach. A modern tiger's teeth are much smaller, but they are stronger.

The smilodon lived in North and South America from about two million years ago until about ten thousand years ago. Tigers of course, still exist today and live in eastern and southeastern Asia. No one knows for sure why the smilodon disappeared.

【1】Why was the smilodon slower than tigers?

A．Because of its big body.

B．Because of its living habits.

C．Because of its huge teeth.

D．Because of its shorter tail.

【2】What caused the smilodon to disappear according to the text?

A．Its living places.

B．Human activities

C．No exact reason.

D．Natural disasters.

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A．The smilodon died out about 1,000 years ago.

B．The smilodon was not sociable.

C．Tigers are more likely to get their prey than the smilodon.

D．People have known the importance of protecting tigers.

【4】What could be the best title for the text?

A．Why the smilodon died out

B．The smilodon and the tiger

C．How to protect modern tigers

D．The study of the smilodon

24、   Why doesn’t the Leaning Tower of Pisa fall over during its over 800 years history? To understand their situation, it's helpful to understand why the tower tilted in the first place.

In the 12th century, the wealthy maritime republic of Pisa set about turning its cathedral square into a magnificent landmark. In 1173, construction began on a free-standing bell tower. The engineers and architects of the time were masters of their craft but knew far less about the ground they stood on. Less than five years later, the tower's southern side was already underground. If workers added more weight, the pressure from upper stories would sink the structure and fatally increase the lean. But construction stopped at the fourth story for nearly a century, which allowed the soil to settle.

When construction began again in 1272, workers compensated for the tower's minor tilt by making the next few floors taller on the southern side. But the weight of the extra masonry made that side sink even deeper. By the time they completed the seventh floor and bell chamber, the angle of the tilt was 1.6 degrees.

In 1838, engineers dug a walkway around the base to examine the sunken foundation. But removing the supporting sand only worsened the tilt. In 1935, the Italian Corps of Engineers injected mortar to strengthen the base. However, the mortar wasn't evenly distributed throughout the foundation, resulting in another sudden drop and moving the tower closer to its tipping point.

With exact data and new computing technology, in 1992, the construction team drilled diagonal tunnels to remove 38 cubic meters of soil from under the tower's north end. Then, they temporarily counterbalanced the structure, with 600 tons of lead ingots before anchoring the base with steel cables. More than six centuries after its construction, the tower was finally straightened to a tilt of about four degrees.

Today the tower stands at 55– or 56– meters tall, and it should remain stable for at least 300 years as a monument to the beauty of imperfection.

【1】The passage is developed mainly in the form of ______.

A.time and events B.definition and description

C.contrast and conclusion D.examples and statements

【2】What does the underlined phrase “compensated for” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.arranged for B.made up for C.called for D.accounted for

【3】What has finally led the tower to approach closer to its tipping point?

A.Engineers’ misjudgment of the soil under the tower

B.Making the next few floors taller on the southern side

C.Removing the supporting sand from the sunken foundation

D.The unevenly distributed mortar throughout the foundation

【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A.Who is to blame for the leaning?

B.Why doesn't the Leaning Tower of Pisa fall over?

C.How did the Leaning Tower of Pisa get its name?

D.Will the Leaning Tower of Pisa fall over？
