You 42 from a high place about 200 meters above the ground with an elastic rope 43 to your ankles. You 44 at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from 45 the ground. It is said that 2 million people around the world have now 46 bungee jumping. Other activities, 47 most people would say are as dangerous as bungee jumping, 48 jumping from tall buildings and 49 into the sea from the top of high rocks.Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists(心理学家) suggest that it is because life in 50 societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, peoples lives were constantly under 51 . They had to go out and hunt for 52 , and life was a continuous battle for survival.Nowadays, according to many people, life offers 53 excitement.

It continued keeping time, but stopped again at 10:20 p.m. and remained still for about 90 minutes before starting up again, a spokeswoman for the House of Commons said.A recent period of hot weather may have been to blame. Temperatures in London reached 90 Saturday, and forecasters called it Englands hottest day in May in the past fifty three years, since 1953.Big Ben, which is operated by the Palace of Westminster, survived attack by German Luftwaffe bombers during World War,continued to mark the time within11/2 seconds of Greenwich Mean Time.However, the clock has experienced occasional problems. In 1962, snow caused the clock to ring in the New Year 10 minutes late. In 1976, the clock stopped when a piece of its machinery broke. Big Ben also stopped on April 30, 1997, and once more three weeks later.Big Ben is actually the clocks 13-ton bell, which was named after Sir Benjamin Hall, the British commissioner of works at the time the clock was built. The official name for the Gothic tower holding Big Ben is St. Stephens Tower. Standing 315 feet tall, it was completed in 1859 after an 1834 fire destroyed most of the Palace of Westminster.56. How many times has Big Ben gone wrong up to now? A. Three. B. Five. C. Six. D. Eight.57. Which of the following is NOT true about Big Ben according to the text? A. Big Ben was by the name of Sir Benjamin Hall.B. Big Ben was famous for its accuracy and chimes.C. Big Ben once made mistakes in telling time.D. Big Ben was damaged in 1834 in a big fire.58. The probable reason for Big Ben stopping ticking for 90 minutes is . A. high temperature B. low temperature C. broken machine D. heavy snow59. Which of the following may be the beat title of the passage? A. Big Bens History B. Solution to Big BenC. Symbol of London D. Big Bens SilenceBIts 5:00 in the morning when the alarm(闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. Its not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmothers chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned its okay to just say “no”. I shouldnt feel sorry for refusing food that I dont want to eat.So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self-confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. Its through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.60. Why is there a smile on the authors face in the morning?A. Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.B. Because she finishes her favorite exercise. C. Because she enjoys the interesting DVD. D. Because she feels a sense of achievement.61. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A. She doesnt treat others politely.B. She likes to make others surprised C. Others dont understand what she does.D. Others try to help her by offering her food.62. What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?A. Good health. B. Firm belief. C. A strong power. D. A regular habit.63. What can we learn about the author from the text? A. She acts in a strange way. B. She wants to look different from others.C. She aims to develop a good body shape.D. She has difficulty getting along with others.CThink about what you usually have for a meal: Is it a hamburger? What about vegetables? Would it surprise you to learn that what you eat can affect the whole planet?It canin a big way. Scientists attending the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Chicago presented new studies showing how food and its production affect the globe and its warming climate. It is generally believed that global warming is caused by the large amounts of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. One of these greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide(二氧化碳).What does this have to do with food? A big part of the carbon dioxide comes from the process of making and eating food, the scientists reported in Chicago. The production of meat contributes a lot of that carbon dioxide.The process of making a hamburger, for example, requires a lot of energy. A cow has to be fed and raised on farmland, and cow manure(粪肥) is a major source of methane(甲烷)-an especially powerful greenhouse gas. By the time a hamburger is finally served on a dinner plate, it has done great harm to the environment.The message from the research is clear: We can greatly reduce the production of greenhouse gases by eating less meat.All kinds of meat, the scientists reported, are harder on the planet than vegetables. To grow and eat a pound of potatoes, for example, sends less than onequarter pound of carbon dioxide or other warming gases into the air. So shifting our diet to less meat and more vegetables, as it turns out, may do the world some good.64. Generally speaking, people believe that global warming is caused by . A. cutting down too many trees. B. raising too many cowsC. growing too many vegetables D. releasing too much greenhouse gases65. The production of meat produces a lot of .A. green houses B. carbon dioxideC. cow manure D. methane source 66. Which of the following is NOT true?A. To make and eat meat requires a great deal of energy.B. To feed and raise cows on farmland contributes greenhouse gases.C. To grow and eat vegetables does no harm to the environment.D. To make and eat hamburgers sends harmful gases into the air.67. Writing the passage, the writer seemingly intends to . A. encourage us to grow more vegetables to reduce greenhouse gasesB. persuade us to develop a good eating habit to keep healthyC. advise us to make less hamburgers in order to save energyD. appeal to us to protect the environment by eating less meat foodDJust Released New 2010 Version!The Best Selling Phone Spy Software in the world!MOBILE PHONE SPYING SOFTWAREORIGINALLY DEVELOPED BY E-STEALTHFOR CLASSIFIED SURVEILLANCE MISSIONSNow 100% Legal!Regular Price: $ 149.95Your Savings: $ 80.00 DOWNLOAD AND TRY RIGHT NOW!Valentines Price: $ 69.95I read the above advertisement the other day. They have cell phone spy software that can let someone listen in to all your calls. It sends a message to the spy every time you get a call, and it even sends all copies of any text messages you write or receive. And if that isnt bad enough, the person can even remotely turn on the speaker in your cell phone, so even if you are not on a call, they can listen in to you! And if all that arent bad enough, they can also pinpoint your exact location and SEE YOU with satellites in real time. They know exactly what you are doing! Shortly after I posted the news, different opinions flooded in.Watermonkey: Sounds pretty unlikely to me. Getting a screen shot from a satellite would be nearly impossible unless you were an FBI agent.Echo of thunder: Hacker(黑客) are very smart and can come up with anything given the time and effort to do so. If a hacker really wants to listen to your cell calls, he can.Sheepdog: Its not a phone anymore. Phones are getting “smarter” and more capable.D. Benitez: Maybe they can help catch criminals (罪犯), but it is pretty troublesome, because all this technology means that it is hard to find privacy nowadays, with people spying on you and everything. They can actually track where you are walking with your girlfri
