White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised 70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. Whites second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle（车座） and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road. The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For l,000 kilometers he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.21. When Phil White returned from his trip, he_.A. broke the world record B. collected money for Oxfam C. destroyed several bikes D. travelled about 1 300 hours 22.

Which of the following words can best describe Phil White?A. Imaginative. B. Independent. C. Modest. D. Determined. BReading is the key to success. Apparently every successful person develops a passion for reading. This is because reading is a key element to obtain the information required to understand something. For instance, lawyers have to study and learn every established law on their specific branches. Sometimes the law changes according to peoples needs. A good lawyer has to be informed about the latest news in the court. A doctor has to be informed of the latest advances in medicine.Reading is very important for all mankind. Everything is relative in this world, especially reading. Reading can open any doors and it can lead you into a path of success. Studies have confirmed that reading to your unborn child is very good. This way your child will develop a passion for reading.How do you develop a passion for reading? There is only one way you can boost your passion for reading. Let me explain this to you. If you want to learn how to ride a bike, you have to get on the bike as many times as possible until you have learned. It works the same way with reading. If you want to boost your reading, take a book and read it all the way through. When you finish reading your first book, take another book and do the same. Try to read as much as you can. If you are going out, grab a magazine, a book, an article or something to read.There is a very important factor behind the readingreading comprehension. Its what makes you understand the meaning behind the text. Lets assume that you read a document and you are supposed to explain the meaning of the document. How would you explain the document if you couldnt capture the message of the author?25The first two paragraphs mainly talk about .A. the key to successB. the importance of readingC. what reading comprehension isD. how to develop a passion for reading26We can define reading comprehension as.A. a strong passion for readingB. the latest information in readingC. the most important factor behind the readingD. something that makes people understand what they read27The author develops the passage mainly by .A. following the natural time orderB. presenting opinions and giving examplesC. comparing the opinions of different peopleD. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects28What do you suppose the following paragraph will talk about ?A. Popular reading websites.B. Famous people who love reading.C. The importance of reading at school. D. Ways to improve reading comprehension.CMost people have some common sense. When we see something suspicious on TV, in the newspaper, or on the Internet, we roll our eyes and wonder how anyone could believe something so stupid. Nevertheless, there are stories that even educated people still believe. These tales may or may not be true, but they leave us wondering whether they are real or not. On National Geographic Channel, these stories are dissected(剖析) in full detail in the series Is It Real.Thousands of years ago, aliens landed on the Earth. They tampered (破坏) with the evolution of humans and the results of this can be seen practically everywhere. Sound ridiculous? Not to some people. Believe it or not, there are those who believe that alien astronauts had a hand in making the human race what it is today. Travel back in time with Ancient Astronauts and visit our “alien ancestors”.In the autumn of 1888, Jack the Ripper roamed(漫游) the streets of Londons East End. After his reign(统治) of terror was over, five women had been killed. To this day, the mystery of who killed these ladies remains unsolved. No one knows for sure, but the truth may be revealed on Jack the Ripper. Vampires(吸血鬼). Just the thought of these fictional beasts is enough to make your blood run cold. While we may think that they only come to life in books and movies, vampires are actually based on real people. Historians, folklorists, scientists and doctors all work together to investigate the plausibility(合理性) of vampires. Take a bite into this juicy mystery on Vampires.No other channel can offer this type of programming other than National Geographic Channel.
