In 1977, Willing decided to climb the second tallest building in the world the World Trade Center in New York City. It is 110 floors high.Willig planned his climb carefully. He made a special steel claw to fit on the outside of the building. He found a strong rope to wrap around his body. Willig tested the equipment on the building five times late at night. Only his close friends knew about his plan.Willig began his climb at 6:30 a.m. on May 26. Soon a crowd of people gathered on the street. They watched the 27-year-old man make his way up slowly. Willig was 20 feet high before police found out what he was doing. They ordered him to come down, but he refused.The crowd got bigger as Willig finally reached the top. Police asked for his autograph and then arrested him. At first, Willig was fined $250, 000. But later the major of New York changed the fine to $1.10, or one penny for every floor of the building.Why did George Willig climb the World Trade Center? Many people said he wanted to be famous. But Willig said that is not true. He said he did it for the joy and challenge of climbing.1. How long did George Willig take to climb the building?A. One hour.B. About 3 1/2 hours.C. About 5 hours.D.

The police probably arrested Willig because he was .A. scaring peopleB. climbing too slowlyC. breaking the lawD. putting the police in troublePassage 2We all know that it is possible for ordinary people to make their homes on the equator, although often they may feel uncomfortably hot there. Millions do it. But as for the North Pole we know that it is not only a dangerously cold place, but that people like you and me would find it quite impossible to live there. At the present time only some scientists and explorers can do so, and they use special equipment. Men have been traveling across and around the equator on wheels, on their feet or in ships for thousands of years; but only a few men, with great difficulty and in very recent time, have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole. So it may surprise you to learn that, when traveling by air, it is really safer to fly over the North Pole than over the equator. Of course, this is not true about landings in the polar region (which passenger aeroplanes do not make), but the weather, if we are flying at a height of 5000 metres above the Pole, is a delight. At 4000 metres and more above the earth you can always be sure that you will not see a cloud in the sky as far as the eye can reach. In the tropics, on the other hand, you are not certain to keep clear of bad weather even at such heights as 18000 or 20000 metres.Aeroplanes cannot climb as high or as quickly in cold air as in warm. Nor can clouds. In practice, this is an advantage to the aeroplane, which is already at a good height when it reaches the polar region and so does not need to climb, while at the same time cold air keeps the clouds down low.1. “Millions do it.” is the second sentence. In this sentence “do it” refers to .A. feeling uncomfortably hot on the equatorB. flying over the North PoleC. flying over the equatorD. making homes on the equator2. The polar region is .A. a good place to land at by aeroplaneB. a good place to fly overC. a good place to travel to by landD. a good place to live at3. It is a delight to fly at the Pole because there .A. planes fly higher than at the equatorB. the eyes can reach about 4000 metresC. planes are clear of bad weatherD. planes fly more quickly than at the equator4. Aeroplanes can climb quickly .A. in warm airB. in cold airC. when it reaches the polar regionD. only when the clouds are down low5. Aeroplanes usually do not need to climb quickly or fly high in the polar region because .A. they do not land thereB. there are not any clouds at allC. they can cross the ice with special equipmentD. it is very coldPart II Cloze (10%)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Because an athlete succeeds by_(3)_ only-not by economic background or social connections(关系)-sports can be a fast route(途径) to wealth and many athletes play more for money than for love.This has not always been true.

At least one competitor (参赛选手) in the 1896 games met these qualifications (条件). He was Spiridon Loues, a water carrier who won the marathon race (马拉松比赛). After the race, a rich Athenian (雅典人) offered him anything he wanted. A true amateur, Loues accepted only a cart and a horse. Then he gave up running forever. But Loues was an exception (例外) and now, as the Chairman of the German Olympic Committee said, Nobody pays any attention to these rules. Many countries pay their athletes to train year-round, and Olympic athletes are eager to sell their names to companies that make everything from ski equipment to fast food.Even the games of modern Olympics themselves have become a huge business. Countries fight to _(8)_the Olympics not only for_(9)_, but for money.
