But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England. It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon. The following year he met John Ridgway and started to work as a teacher at Ridgways school of adventure（冒险）in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgways coldwater exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures; he decided that this would be his future. In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first longdistance expedition (探险) towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his sled up and over the rocky mountains. Saunders has become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and hes skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change. 50.

He is a good teacher at school.CHotels can make a persons stay away from home as restful as possible. Hotels provide warm beds to allow guests a peaceful nights rest. Besides, some hotels offer guests special services such as newspapers to read in the morning, fresh coffee, and even breakfast. Hotel workers want their guests to feel warm and welcome when they stay in their hotel.One hotel near the Arctic Circle, however, is different. This hotel gives its guests a cold welcome. The Ice Hotel, in Sweden, is all made of ice. The Ice Hotel might sound strange, but in some ways it is a special hotel. It has a front lobby where guests check into the hotel, plenty of rooms to sleep in, and even room service, which guests can use to have food delivered to their rooms. The Ice Hotel is different, though, because most of the items are made from ice.It takes more than 30 tons of ice and snow to build the Ice Hotel. It melts(融化) in the summer and is rebuilt each winter. Different builders and artists create the Ice Hotel, so each winter this famous hotel has a new shape and design.The effort of building the Ice Hotel is worth it, however. Walking into the Ice Hotel is like walking into a diamond. The walls reflect even the smallest bits of light. Ice pillars（柱子）support the roof. The floor below shines like glass. Almost every inch of this hotel sparkles inside. Visiting the Ice Hotel is truly an unusual experience.Temperatures inside the Ice Hotel are usually below freezing. Guests wear warm jackets, hats, gloves, and thick boots. Even the owners of the Ice Hotel know that staying in a building with walls of ice four feet thick can be a bit cold. They have a solution though. The Ice Hotel has a sauna for its guests. A sauna is a room filled with steam, where guests can warm themselves. In a way, then, one could say that the Ice Hotel does give their guests a warm welcome after all.53. Why must the Ice Hotel be rebuilt each year ? A. Because the hotel melts during the summer. B. Because guests suggest changes to the hotel. C. Because the hotel is damaged by the sauna. D. Because more rooms are needed at the hotel.54. From paragraph2 we can infer that _. A. the Ice Hotel has temperatures below freezing but is warm inside B. guests of the Ice Hotel check in at the front lobby C. the Ice Hotel is like other hotels except that it is made of ice D. guests of the Ice Hotel may order food that is delivered to their rooms 55. What is the purpose of the writer writing the article?A. To describe the temperature inside a hotel. B. To give information about an uncommon hotel. C. To compare different kinds of hotels. D. To encourage people to visit hotels.D It is easy for us to tell who our family members are, but do plants recognize(识别) their own family? Some do, scientists say, according to a report by Science News in early 2010.Guillermo P. Murphy and Susan Dudley are two plant scientists from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. They did a few experiments with Jewelweeds, a kind of flower that grows in wet, shady spots. They found that the flowers seem to know their own flower family. In their experiments, Murphy and Dudley planted jewelweeds in pots with either siblings or strangers. When jewelweeds were planted in pots with strangers, the plants started to grow more leaves than if they had been planted alone. This response(反应)suggests that plants are competing with strangers for sunlight, since a plant with more leaves can receive more light and make more food. Jewelweeds usually grow in the shade, where sunlight is not enough. When jewelweed seedlings(幼苗)were planted with siblings, they grew a few more branches than they usually would if they were alone but they did not start growing lots of extra leaves. This behavior suggests the plants are more likely to share resources, rather than compete.According to the Science News report, Jewelweeds are not the first plants that plant scientists have studied for family recognition. In 2007, Dudley and her team studied the Great Lakes sea rocket, a plant that grows on the beach where it may be hard to get fresh water. In that experiment, the scientists found that when sea rockets were planted with siblings, they tolerated each other. But when they were planted with strangers, the sea rockets reacted by working extra hard to grow lots of roots. Dudley says this just because sea rockets, on the beach, get plenty of sun but struggle for water so when theyre threatened, they compete for water. Jewelweeds have plenty of water but have to compete for sunshine, so they grow more leaves.56. What does the underlined word siblings mean?A. Flowers come from foreign countries.B. Plants growing in different environments.C. Flowers planted with lots of strangers.D. Plants that are the same kind.57. In the text, the writer mentioned the experiments of Jewelweeds to .A. make a comparison B. introduce a topicC. describe a pretty flower D. build a new theory58. According to the passage, flowers planted alone will .A. grow more leaves than those planted in groupsB. become taller than those with more branchesC. grow fewer leaves than those planted with strangersD. become ill easily because they cant get enough shade59. What can be the best title for the passage?A. New Discoveries about Plants B. How Plants Compete with Each OtherC. Family Recognition among Plants D. Jewelweeds and the Great Lakes Sea Rockets七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分） What is a spelling bee? 60 , but it is so popular in the Unite States.
