As you will be working hard, its important to get enough energy in your food. On long trips away from major towns-there may be little quality food available, so be prepared to live on candy bars, prepared meat products and the like if the need arises.SleepWhile you can take a tent with you, many hotels and especially campsites can acmodate cyclists. However, there are also some hotels that may be less used to acmodating cyclists. If you are exploring an unfamiliar world, asking about the acmodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.21Which of the following distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day?A50km. B130km. C90km. D250km.22Form the passage, we can learn that_.Ahigh quality food is easy to get on long tripsBcycling over a mountain is challenging but worthy Chotels seldom provide acmodation for cyclistsDit takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 100m of altitude23We can probably read this passage in_.Aa geography book Ba research reportCa science fiction Da travel magazineBIn seventh grade, Brittany Blythe dreamed of being a cheerleader. Her schools coaches were less than enthusiastic. “They said, I dont know how youll be able to do it, ” she recalls. “You wont be able to do it. ”But Brittany, now a junior at Strath Haven High School near Philadelphia, persisted (坚持). And when the junior team cheerleaders won a tournament last year, she was right there, dancing and cheering with the rest of the team. Not bad for someone whose legs were cut off below the knee when she was two years old. Brittany, 18, was born without shinbones (胫骨)“just blood and muscle tissue”, as she puts it. When she tried to walk, her legs twisted. After the operation, she adapted quickly. “From day one, I basically jumped up and wanted to do everything,” she says. Prosthetic legs (假腿) allowed her to move around upright, but too slowly to keep up with her friends. Brittanys solution: take the legs off and walk on her kneessometimes she still does when safety and fort permit. Shes rarely daunted. Other children laughed at her through the years, especially in junior high school, but she says the challenge only made her stronger. Now shes trying to convince her coaches to let her remove the prostheses and be a flyer, the cheerleader whos thrown in the air and caught by her teammates. Brittany doesnt think her problems are more difficult than the next persons. “My disability was the first thing I had to get through, and thats going to prepare me for the future,” she says. “Its all just a test: If someone throws you a curve ball (给你出难题), what are you going to do? ”24. What was the schools coaches attitude towards Brittanys idea of being a cheerleader? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive C. Hopeful D. Curious. 25. What did Brittany do to keep up with her friends? A. She used a pair of walking sticks. B. She practiced hard every day. C. She asked her friends for help.D. She walked on her knees. 26. The underlined word “daunted” in Paragraph 6 probably means _. A. discouraged B. happy C. confidentD. fortunate27. We can learn from the last paragraph that Brittany _. A. is not well prepared for the futureB. likes the challenge of learning new thingsC. takes a positive attitude towards life D. thinks that her problems are more difficult than others CAfter finishing my teaching for a school year, I thought that I should go back to Montreal, Quebec, my hometown for a visit. My main goal was to relax in preparation for the challenges of my retirement in the ing year.Through my stay in Montreal, I met lots of Chinese who are struggling to succeed and then lead a better life in Canada.Some traveled thousands of miles to get knowledge. When I spoke with some of them about the major barrier they had to face after they arrived in Canada, they all talked about the two official languages of Canada. But I was impressed by their ability to express their ideas while switching between English and French.Almost all of those people said they often felt homesick. They miss their families and friends. Though Montreal has lots of Chinese restaurants, they long for a home-cooked meal.I met some tourists who were trying to realize their childhood dreams of experiencing the life in a developed country. When I asked them if Montreal had lived up to their expectations, they hesitated. They said that reality never agrees with fantasies. However, they were glad to have the opportunity to visit Montreal and didnt regret taking the trip.Not all the Chinese people I met were happy. I once met a young lady who met with a gentleman through the Internet. However, to her disappointment, he disappeared after he promised to marry her in Montreal.I was served by another Chinese person who could not handle the challenges of studying in an English environment and ended up working in a restaurant with minimum pay.Exploring different parts of the world, without any doubt, is an enriching experience. However, one should be realistic when it es to leaving his hometown to set up a new life in a foreign country. One should take the time to examine the advantages and the shortings of the venture before they decide to chase an uncertain dream of achieving success or leading a better life.28. The writer went to her hometown to _.A. meet her old friends B. prepare for her retirement lifeC. go on with her teaching D. study a new language29. The main barrier for some Chinese to get knowledge in Canada is _.A. food B. homesickness C. language D. ine30. The writer thinks that _.A. people should think carefully before chasing the dreams abroadB. the trip to Montreal is a good chance for people to studyC. overseas Chinese feel disappointed at their life in CanadaD. overseas Chinese are good at munication in Canada31. What is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Life Skills in CanadaB. Exploring Different Parts of CanadaC. Going to CanadaYour Ideal Destination D. Struggling for a Better Life in Canada DWith only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. Thats a move similar to what Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called Noahs Ark.Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should bee extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & Ms College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds, reptiles will bee extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of being extinct in the next 25 years.This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal. The entire procedure could take from three to five years to plete.The nuclear transfer (核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem, Kraemer believes. They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy. It takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort, adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.They are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noahs Ark. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. Its a research that is very much needed.32. The aim of Noahs Ark project is to _.A. save endangered animals from dying outB. make efforts to clone the endangered pandasC. collect DNA of endangered animals to studyD. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another33. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _.A. host animals B. enough moneyC. qualified researchers D. available panda eggs 34. The best title for the passage may be _.A. Chinas Success in Pandas CloningB. Exploring the Possibility to Clone PandasC. The First Cloned Panda in the WorldD. China the Native Place of Pandas Forever35. The statement which best expressed its main idea may be _.A. scientists try to implant a pandas egg into a rabbitB. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dogC. two thousand species will probably die out in over a centuryD. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches第二节 七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。HomeworkDo arithmetic problems 15 through 25.
