passion 36 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 37 with astonishment. why are men and women 38 to suffer cold and hardship, and to take a(n) 39 on high mountains? this astonishment is caused, probably, by the differences between mountaineering and other forms of activities 40 which men give their leisure. there are man-made rules in many sports, 41 in golf and football. there are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to 42 , but it is this freedom from man-made rules 43 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. those who climb mountains are free to use their own 44 . if we 45 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that in mountaineering there is no “teamwork”. 46 , this is only a misunderstanding. there are, in fact, no “matches” 47 “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may 48 , obviously, there is teamwork. a mountain

mountains in the alps. they may spend more 54 than younger men, but they probably climb mountains with more skills and less 55 of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.36. a. forb.

阅读理解（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）everyone has good days and bad days. sometimes, you feel as if you were on top of the world. but occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and you cant focus on your schoolwork. for more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem (自尊) is the key to success. now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. in some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail in something. “forget about self-esteem,” says jennifer crocker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the university of michigan, us. “its not the most important thing.” crockers advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself. studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem. but, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, roy baumeister, a psychologist at florida state university, found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person. he believes that violent and wicked people often have the highest self-esteem of all. he also said, “theres no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.” “all types of people have problems. people with high self-esteem can have big egos (自我) that can make them less likeable to their peers (同龄人),” said kathleen vohs, a psychology professor at columbia university. “people with high self-esteem tend to depend more on themselves. people with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.” researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. find positive ways to contribute to society. if you fail in something, try to learn from the experience. “the best medicine is to recognize your faults,” vohs said. “its ok to say, im not so good at that, and then move on.”56. the new research comes to the conclusion that high self-esteem _.a. is not important at all b. has taken on a different meaningc. may not be the key to success d. does not help you do better in school57. the underlined word “better” in paragraph 4 most probably refers to “_”.a. helpful or supportiveb. gentle or powerfulc. strong or healthy d. friendly or kind58. one of the conclusions of the new research is that _.a. feeling good about yourself doesnt mean you lead a happier lifeb. people with high self-esteem usually dont seek help from other peoplec. people with high self-esteem are more likeabled. people with low self-esteem are often more popular59. we can infer that the best medicine mentioned in the last paragraph is mainly for people _.a. with high self-esteem b. with low self-esteemc. who need support d. who are focusing on building self-esteemmost british parents give their teenagers pocket money. teenagers get between 7 and 20 a week. they spend it on fast food, clothes, the cinema, concerts, magazines and mobile

severely short of water by the end of the century, according to a global warming study published today. the study, which appears in the journal , is the first to identify how africas rivers will respond to climate change over the century. the extent to which slight changes in rainfall could impact on rivers had never been realized before. the researchers used a computer to divide the continent into 1,000 km wide squares (about 620 miles) and worked out the total length of streams and rivers in each block. they used climate change models to calculate the expected changes in rainfall across the continent and the effect they would have on river levels. the scientists found that in 75% of the countries that receive between 400 mm and 1,000 mm of rain a year, shifts in rainfall caused larger rises or falls in river levels than expected. in harare a 10% drop in rainfall is expected to lead to an 81% drop in fresh water from rivers, a situation which the scientists believe will be mirrored in madagascar, eastern zambia and angola. south africa, which is experiencing a long-drawn-out drought, can expect far less water from the orange river. a 10% fall in rainfall over johannesburg and bloemfontein will lead to a 70% drop in river levels. the study predicts that rain will increase over east africa. climate change is expected to bring 10% more rain to tanzania before the end of the century, increasing water course levels by 136%, while somalia faces a 20% rise in rainfall, leading to more than a 1,000% increase in the water it receives from waterways. however, increased rainfall could lead to more standing water, more mosquitoes, and widespread malaria.64. how many african countries are referred to in the passage?a. 5.b. 6. c. 7. d. 8.65.

2,000 animals are likely to be directly hunted by the three countries continuing whaling against world opinion japan, norway and iceland. japan is leading the way among the three. its whaling ships are firing harpoons (鱼叉) right now in the antarctic ocean, hunting for 935 whales. all of them are being hunted under the excuse of killing whales for research purposes. this label is a fiction which fools no one, as whale meat, popular with japanese consumers, is available on the open market. greenpeace has decided to take the fight directly to the japanese, and has sent two of its large campaigning ships to the southern ocean to try to hinder whaling operations directly. some campaigners are now calling for the anti-whaling countries to take legal action against japan over the “scientific” whaling problem. “scientific whaling needs to be stopped, and legal action needs to be taken against japan in the international court,” said joth singh, director of wildlife and habitats for the international fund for animal welfare. “we believe there is, in fact, an opportunity to do that, and we have contracted a lawyer in australia who has done an evaluation (评估) of the possibilities of legal action. we think that like-minded countries should look at it. “they need to take this problem to the international court, because international pressure is required. trade sanctions (制裁) should certainly be a possibility.” mr singh added, “i have been attending iwc meetings for years, and a number of resolutions (提案) which have been passed aimed at stopping scientific whaling have had no effect. diplomatic notes to japan have had no effect either. “if there is any seriousness about saving whales, this seems to be the way.”68. the following measures have been taken

believe what japan says about why they kill whales.c. japan is killing whales under the excuse of scientific research purposes.d. whale meat is enjoyed by japanese people and available on the open market.71. the authors purpose in writing the passage is to _.a. discuss the possibility of a legal action against japanb. disclose japans cruel attitude towards sealifec. tell us that whale meat is

mammals will disappear in the coming yearsto explain why he liked his art teacher the best, dainzin tanam could not write more words than a simple sentence, “because he teaches me painting.” in the eyes of his teachers at the lhasa special education school, the deaf boy was a little painter. five years ago, however, tanam could only stay in bed until noon and wait for his parents return. his mother yangzom said she had no choice but to lock him in the house every day. “every day when i came back home and saw my poor lonely son, i felt my heart hurt. but now i can finally feel a bit relieved,” the mother said. she said it was the school that changed her son. “without the school, i dare not imagine how my son will be now.” with a governmental fund of 4.5 million yuan, the special education school was founded in 2000. as the only government-run school for handicapped children in tibet, it now has 28 teachers and 120 sch
