26、   Hannah McKeand was born in Bristol in 1973. She got a degree in Classics at Lampeter University. After working as a marketing manager, she decided at the age of 31 to devote herself entirely to her primary passions (热情), exploring, adventure and the outdoors. She would take part in various expeditions (探险), in the Egyptian desert first, then in the remote valleys of northeast of Afghanistan, and then in Antarctica.

In 2001 her urge to explore began to develop with a trip to the Western Desert on the borders of Egypt, Libya and Sudan in search of prehistoric rock art. This trip took Hannah to the center of the second biggest wilderness on the planet, an uninhabited (无人居住的) area the size of India.

In 2004 Hannah joined a British expedition to explore the Wakhan Corridor in the northeast of Afghanistan in search of the source of the River Oxus. The upper (上部的) areas of this mountain valley had rarely been visited by Westerners.

Later that year Hannah turned to a cold desert in a 56-day expedition from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole. Crossing one of the harshest (最严酷的) environments in the world, the team of five battled with physical and mental exhaustion, injury, hunger and some of the lowest temperatures on earth.

In 2006 Hannah returned to Antarctica and once again skied from Hercules Inlet to the South Pole, but this time alone and unsupported. She set a new world record for the journey of 39 days 9 hours and 33 minutes.

In October 2007 Hannah began her first full adventure season traveling from Australia across to Chile and from there around Cape Horn and down to Antarctica.

Hannah hopes that by writing and speaking about her experiences in the world and sharing them with those who care to read or listen, she will inspire people to go after their own dreams and achieve their own goals.

【1】What did Hannah decide to do at 31?

A.Work on Classics B.Apply for a job.

【2】Why did Hannah go to the Wakhan Corridor?

A.To guide Westerners.

B.To find the source of the River

C.OxusTo study prehistoric rock art.

A.It was smooth. B.It was completed alone.

C.She achieved a world record during the expedition. D.She stood up to the test of extreme environments.

【4】What’s the best title of the text?

A.A polar expedition B.A life in Antarctica

I was enjoying the luxuries of a rustic nineteenth-century boyhood, but for the women Morrisonville life had few 【5】. Their lives were hard, endless, dirty labor.

For baths, laundry, and dishwashing, they hauled buckets of water from a spring at the foot of a hill. To heat it, they chopped kindling to fire their wood stoves. They boiled laundry in tubs, scrubbed it on washboards until knuckles were 【6】, and wrung it out by hand. Ironing was a business of lifting heavy metal weights heated on the stove top.

They scrubbed floors on hands and knees, thrashed rugs with carpet beaters, killed and plucked their own chickens, baked bread and parties, grew and conned their won vegetables, patched the family’s clothing on treadle-operated sewing machines, 【7】before the men to start the stove for breakfast and pack lunch pails, polished the chimneys of kerosene lamps, and even found time to tend the flowers that grew around every house. By the end of a summer day a Morrisonville woman had toiled like a serf.

At sundown the men drifted back from the fields exhausted and 【8】. They scrubbed themselves in enamel basins and, when supper was eaten, climbed up onto the porch to watch the night arrive. Presently the women 【9】 them, and the twilight music of Morrisonville began.

The swing creaking , rocking chairs 【10】 on the porch planks, voices murmuring approval of the sagacity of Uncle Irvey as he quietly observed for probably the ten-thousandth time in his life, “A man works from sun to sun, but a woman’s work is never done.”

40、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

You may know that vitamin C is important to your body，but do you know that vitamin D is important to your body as well? Vitamin D has a significant role in calcium homeostasis(钙稳态) and metabolism(新陈代谢). It is sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin” because it’s produced in your skin in response to sunlight.

Vitamin D can help bones and muscles grow strong and healthy. If a person is short of vitamin D，he or she may have problems like rickets(佝偻病) and osteoporosis．Rickets is mainly found in children. Osteoporosis，the thinning of bone，is a common problem as people get older. Studies in these years have found that vitamin D may also have other uses. If someone is short of vitamin D, he may have heart problems or die from some cancers.

The easiest way to get vitamin D is from sunlight. But many people worry about getting skin cancer and skin damage from the sun. Also, even skin color has an influence. Darker skinned people get less vitamin D than lighter skinned people. Older people get less vitamin D than younger people. You can also get it from foods. Some food such as cheese and egg yolks (蛋黄) have some vitamin D．But most of vitamin D in the American diet comes from food like milk with the vitamin added.

Now more doctors are testing for vitamin D in their patients. However, some doctors worry that if people take too much vitamin D, it might be bad for their body. At the same time, skin doctors tell people to be careful with strong sunlight.
