preparation: it will be on thursday mornings from 8:10 to 8:50. this helps children who ride the bus and cannot stay for the after-school period. it also helps avoid conflicts with after-school activities.danielle and marina will be working with the recent new test takers 6 days on the following thursdays: 15th, nov; 29th, nov; 6th, dec; 13th, dec.; 20th, dec. and 3rd, jan.besides the test preparation lectures on these dates, teachers are already putting test preparation into their usual courses. we are finding that we can help our students to be both skillful and whole-hearted readers and test takers after all, we all know that the best test preparation is good reading and writing training.what can you do at home? again, the best and most effective test preparation for the ela test is reading and more reading. the research is quite clear students who do well in the tests are those who are good readers. reading not only builds reading ability, it also helps build confidence important for successful test taking! but do discourage your children from spending too much time on books that are too hard or even a bit too hard. children best develop comprehension skills when

swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. it may be a game of some form-football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. it may be mountaineering.those who have a passion(激情) for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with surprise. why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? this astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their free time.mountaineering is a sport and not a game. there are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. there are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.if we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. we should be mistaken in this. there are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.the mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. he has to fight the forces of nature. his sport requires high mental and physical qualities.a mountain climber continues to improve in skills year after year. a skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. but it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the alps. they may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.33. why does the author mention some physical activities in the first paragraph?a. to compare them. b. to bring up the topicc.to offer some information d. to give the readers some advice34. mountaineering is a sport, not a game because _. a. it requires no skills b. it is too dangerous for climbers c. it cant bring people joy and leisure d. it is free of man-made rule是 for climbers to follow. 35. from the text, we can learn_.a. a mountain climber needs to have high mental and physical qualities b. men and women have to suffer hardship only in mountaineeringc. there is no man-made rules in games, such as golf and footballd. mountaineering is not suitable for middle-aged people第二节 （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。problems, which are a part of our
