from the nearest road.her daily routine includes tending to her vegetable plot and collecting fruit, looking after her three goats, seven chickens and two horses and cutting firewood. she gets her drinking water from a nearby stream and only rarely goes to the shops for treats like rice and chocolate. her evenings are spent in the light of her stove, cooking her dinner and playing music. she then retires to her wool covers at about 7:30 p.m. mrs orbach said, “this is how i want to live. this lifestyle makes me feel really happy and at peace and this is my ideal home. ”living in the mountains of west wales, she named her home tir ysbrydol, which means “spirit land” in welsh. when her children, who are in their 20s and 30s and live in london, bristol and brighton, visit, they, like all guests at the roundhouse, are banned from bringing technology such as phones or laptops with them.it is all a far cry from the conventional trappings of mrs orbachs background. her father was a violinist and her mother a librarian. after graduating from oxford with a degree in chinese, she married architectural historian julian orbach. together they founded the brithdir mawr eco-community in the preseli mountains near newport, in pembrokeshire, round a 180-acre farm in 1993. for five years they enjoyed a simple life, then a survey plane chanced upon the “lost tribe(部落)” and they were involved into a decade-long battle with the authority.officials were unable to find any records, let alone planning permission, for the mysterious hillside village was surrounded by trees and bushes, and they insisted the eight grass-covered buildings should be pulled down.the eco-community suffered a decade of inquiries, court cases and a planning hearing before their fight, backed by more modern support for green issues, finally ended in victory in 2008 when the roundhouses were given planning approval.but by then mr and mrs orbach had divorced and the community split into three sections, including hers. each community is independent and they co-exist as neighbors in a more traditional style.explaining why she set up her own home just before 2000, mrs orbach said she felt a “very strong pull to live life even more simple”.she is in the process of building a sixth roundhouse there and has permission from the council to build four more. she runs a “healing an retreat(隐居) centre” on the site and usually has about five people living in the other roundhouses. they pay her a donation, which covers her63-a-month council tax payments, repair costs and supplies of grain.she said, “i dont miss anything at all about what is normally called reality. the quality of life, in my view, is decreasing and everything is speeding up and becoming more stressful. once or twice i have joked about getting a takeaway pizza delivered here when i am tired after a long day. but i dont think anyone would deliver a pizza across two fields anyway.”61. what does mrs orbach usually do at 7:30 p.m.? a. makes fire.b. has dinner. c. plays music.d. goes to bed.62. the underlined sentence implies (in para.4) that orbachs lifestyle _.a. is deeply influenced by her parentsb. is quite different from her backgroundc. is closely associated with her degreed. is strongly supported by her husband63. the officials insisted that the roundhouses be pulled down because they were built _.a. on the mysterious hillsideb. without planning permissionc. for commercial purposed. regardless of the record64. mrs orbach lives her self-built roundhouse in order to _.a. avoid her former husbandb. protect the local governmentc. lead a happy and simple lifed. struggle against the authority65. when talking about her present life, emma orbach is _.a. satisfiedb. desperate c. stressed d. regretful 第ii卷 非选择题（共75分）第五部分 任务型阅读 （共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的横线上填入最恰当的单词。 注意：每空只填一个单词many people live sedentary (久坐的) lives and pay the price with their health, so now many schools are encouraging children and teens to take an interest in activities that they are likely to continue into adulthood. it is a wonderful way to promote ongoing participation in sports. it will help them to stay healthy.the term “life sports” refers to exercises and activities which involve participation over the whole of your life.habits formed in childhood are often hard to break, so it is important that parents make an effort to help their children develop good habits right from the start.encouraging active play in babies helps them to develop strong muscles, improves their ability to make their bodies move in a controlled way, and increases their confidence. furthermore, life sports provide parents with the opportunity to establish traditions where the two generations can play together and enjoy each others company. children who play golf or another life sport with their parents as youngsters are more likely to continue doing so for years to come. they will possibly introduce their own children to the game at some point, so the three generations can spend their spare hours together.it is important that parents be patient teachers when introducing children to a new sport. if playing together is a fun and relaxing experience, children are far more likely to stick with it than if they feel stressed.in order to help children find the life sport that most appeals to them, they should be encouraged to try many different kinds of sports, hoping that one or two will keep them interested enough to continue. most children will find one or two sports that they enjoy enough to play for a number of years or even for a lifetime.often, children and teens express their interest in a new sport or activity only to lose interest a few months (or even weeks) later. for parents it is important to remember that participation in sports is helpful to ones good health in both the short and the long term, so it may be worth allowing their children to change their interests where possible. title:
