It all started a year before when my daughter Suzanne and I were shopping in Sydney. In the window of a sports shop I noticed a photo of a group of young people climbing the rock   32   in a canyon. “That’s what I’m going to do next   33  ,” I said. Suzanne laughed. “Sure, Mum! Don’t forget you’re 65 years old!”

 

I didn’t feel I was that age! I   34   a club and trained weekly. Each day I felt my physical energy   35   and, along with it, my confidence (信心). Then Suzanne pointed out, “It’s good, but how can you clear away the   36   of height?” “I’ve got it all worked out,” I replied bravely. “We’re going to the indoor climbing centre.”

While I was going up the high wall, I was afraid to look down as if a terrible animal was after me. Some time later, as I reached the ground, I sat down   37   on the floor. Later that night, as I lay in bed, I encouraged myself, “You had climbed the wall! You will certainly make it!”

We set off with our packages to the Grand Canyon. When we reached it, I found the canyon was a huge black hole—far   38   than I had imagined. As the guide clipped (夹住) me onto the rope, my heart   39   double-time and I wondered why I had got myself into this. Time lost all meaning   40  I pushed my body forward. Only the strong rope kept me from   41   hope. I began to think it would never end when everyone had stopped. “This is as far as we go, and we can climb out after a few steps,” the guide said finally. Two and a half hours later, we returned to the car park at last. I began to shake, one hard step after another.

Getting onto the bus, I   42   into the seat I had left so confidently a lifetime before. Then, while I was in the seat catching my breath, a feeling of great happiness spread   43   me. I had done it, at 66 years of age.

London is planning to host the 2012 Olympic Games. They will need to plan carefully. Local people are worried that plans were made carelessly and too quickly because the organizers wanted to win the bid. So, while some Londoners are excited about what will happen, others are more worried. The Prime Minister, Tony Blair is convinced（使确信） the country will host a magnificent Games. Here are just a few things some ordinary people said in the week following the bid.

 

－It is really good news for the businesses in the area. London gets a lot of tourists anyway, but this will bring more. Local people are thinking of things to do that will make the area more fun over the Olympics and also make them some money.

 

－London is busy anyway. I’m not sure that the government will get the transport right. The underground and the buses are too full now. The underground is so full at rush hour that it is dangerous. It will be ten times worse in 2012. I’m going to rent out my flat and go on holiday when the Games are happening!

－It’s great! I love sports－it’s exciting! I like to watch it and I like to play it. We will see all these great athletes at the Games. It will be good afterwards, because the stadiums and swimming pools and so on will all still be there, so they will let us use them.

 

47. The 2012 Olympic Games will be held in ________?

A. Australia           B. China                 C. France        D. England

48. Why are some people in London worried?

Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better scholar if he or she wants to. Here’s how.

1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule (日程表) of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will make you realize what is happening to your time.

   2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

   3. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

   4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

   5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly-worried.

   There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

50. A schedule will help you___________.

A.     finish your work quickly

B.     solve all your problems

C.     find more time for your habits

D.     know what is happening to your time

51. If you listen carefully in class, you__________.

A.       can do less work after class

B.       don’t have to take any notes

C.       don’t have to do any work after class

D.       can remember everything the teacher says

52. Which of the following is true?

A.       Tests are the most important parts in your study.

B.       You should review everything your teacher mentioned in class.

C.       If you have a good place to study, you’ll become a top student.

D.       Planning work will make you clear about what to do and when to do it.

53. The best title for this passage is __________.

A.  How to make a plan           

B.  How to improve your study

C.  How to pass a test                   

D.  How to review your lessons

 

 

 

D

 Have you seen Avatar? It’s a popular movie this year. It is three-dimensional (3D), so you may have to wear a special pair of glasses to see it. The 3D glasses make the images (图像) from the movie look like they are coming straight at you.
    More and more 3D movies are coming to theaters. Some say that 3D TV sets will come into our homes in the near future. Three-dimensional technology can make TV and movies more exciting. But people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3D movies. Why?
    When we look at an object, each eye sees it at a different angle (角度). Our eyes send the two images to our brain, and the brain puts them together. That’s how we see depth.
    Three-dimensional technology uses two film projectors (投影机). One projects a left eye image and the other projects a right eye image. 3D glasses allow us to see a different image in each eye.
    There are a lot of people walking around with very small eye problems, for example an eye muscle imbalance. Under normal situations, the brain can get used to their eyes so they can see things normally.
    But when they are watching a 3D movie, the images projected to their eyes can’t be put together by their brain.

So the brain needs to work harder at “reading” the images. That makes it easier for these people to get dizzy or develop headaches.
    Dr John Hagan, an eye doctor in Kansas City, said some people who do not see depth normally cannot see in 3D at all.
    He said people whose eyes can’t focus on the same object at once will have trouble seeing 3D images.

54. When we wear a pair of 3D glasses, ____________.

A.       Our brain will get a different image from each eye

B.       Our brain will put the different images together

C.       Our eyes will focus on the same object easily

D.       Our eyes will see an object at the same angle

 

 

55. What does the underlined words “normal situations” mean?

A.       When people see things normally.

B.       When people have no eye problems.

C.       When people don’t have a headache.

D.       When people aren’t seeing a 3D movie.

56. What does the writer want to tell us in this passage?

A.       Seeing 3D movies can bring us eye problems.

B.       Not all the people can watch 3D images.

C.       The 3D glasses make the movie seem alive.

D.       The 3D movies will be very popular soon.

Be Careful about Energy Drinks

Be careful what you drink; something that looks cool may not be good for your health.

The weather is getting hotter and you'll be getting thirstier playing basketball or riding home from school. ____1_____ But be careful what you pour down your throat; something that looks cool may not be good for your health.

There are plenty of so-called energy drinks on the market. ____2_____ But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have high levels of caffeine. These drinks are specially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.

______3______ Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited their use. The amount of caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as high as in a strong cup of coffee or strong tea.

Research by Australian scientists has found that many teenagers are affected by caffeine. The results of their study show that 27 percent of boys aged 8-12 take in more caffeine than their parents. _______4_______ Just one can of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart attacks. “Teenagers should not be encouraged to have drinks with high level caffeine in them,” a scientist from the Australia Nutrition Foundation said. 

 

A. Caffeine raises your heartbeat. B. But remember to drink less energy drinks. C. There are hidden health problems connected to energy drinks. D. Most of them have an attractive color and cool name. E. A cold drink may be just the thing.

Climbing is our life

Last summer Annabelle Jones and Claire Hippert, two 17-year-old English schoolgirls, decided to climb the Matter-horn, the famous snow-covered mountain in Switzerland. The Matterhorn is popular to mountain climbers because it is so difficult to climb.  

The girls first got the idea for a climbing expedition (探险) a few years ago, when a well-known disabled climber, Norman Croucher, gave a talk at their school. Norman lost both his legs in a train accident when he was nineteen, but he has climbed some of the world's highest mountains on his artificial legs. “He inspired (激发) us,” said Claire.  

Then the girls met a well-known mountaineer called Turbo Thomas and he became their trainer. For the next two years he took them climbing in the Swiss Alps during the summer holidays and they trained very hard. “It wasn't easy,” said Annabelle. “The weather was often a problem. Sometimes it was so cold that we didn't want to get out of bed, but Turbo dragged (拉) us to the foot of the mountain and made us climb.”

The girls kept going and finally they were ready to try the Matterhorn. They made a date for the last week in August and travelled to Zermatt. They started to climb, but unluckily the weather beat them. “It rained every day so it was impossible to climb very far,” said Claire.  

Are they disappointed？“Of course not,” said Annabelle. “I know we didn't get to the top, but we'll be back next summer to try again！Climbing is our life.” 

1.        Who inspired the girls to start mountain climbing？
