But now it has become a popular outdoor activity. While rock climbing may still be necessary for mountain climbing, most people just climb low mountains for fun. If you have ever done rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing both need practice. What most people dont know is that rock climbing is one of the sports that depend on your body and mind. To climb successfully, one must use wonderful skills. One of the important rules is to always have three parts of your body on the rock face. Another important rule is that your arms only hold you close to the rock face while your legs are pushing you up. The closer you are to the rock face, the easier it is to climb. Rock climbing is a wonderful sport. Once you start to learn how to climb, youll find more fun. People who like games such as chess playing or problem-solving may love rock climbing, because they are nearly the same in the way of thinking. For anyone who wants to get into beautiful shape, rock climbing is a fun and good way. Anyone who enjoys a difficult game and loves the outdoors should think of taking rock climbing as a new hobby. （1）Rock climbing depends on _.

She was told that her neighborhood used to be rich farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at the new road, beautiful parks and supermarkets, to her surprise, Yang couldnt see any sign that food was once grown there.Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more grown there. But these changes have caused big problems too, warns Gan Zangchun, an official（官员）at the Ministry of Land and Resources(国土资源部）Chinese cities are growing very fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller than before. This is really bad for the countrys ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers, said Gan last Monday.As the population of China is growing all the time, the country needs more farmland to grow food for the increasing people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale. So you can see, the shortage of the farmland is now a very serious problem.Pollution, such as, oil pollution, industrial(工业) pollution and water pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in Chinas farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.Today, can we use less farmland to grow enough food for more people? Of course not! The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares（公顷） of farmland. Only in this way can we raise such a big population. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. It will be really difficult to reach the goal, Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal(非法的) land use and something useful must be done to stop farmland from becoming desert.（1）The article seems to tell us that_.A . farmland is in dangerB . countryside is turned into townsC . farmland has been soldD . Chinese cities are growing fast（2）From what Gan Zangchun said, we know he is worrying about _.A . Chinas development is too slowB . the population of China is growing fastC . Chinese people have worse life than beforeD . the reduction(减少) and pollution of the farmland（3）What size of the land have been polluted and turned into desert?A . 120 million hectares.B . 121.8 million hectares.C . 2.67 million square kilometers.D . Millions of square kilometers.（4）Which statement of the following is NOT true?A . Yang Nans new home is in a northern area of BeijingB . The country needs enough farmland so that the farmers can grow enough food for the people of China.C . Chinese cities are growing too slowly so the government encourages people to change the farmland into towns.D . Pollution is also an important reason for the big drop in Chinas farmland.（5）What will the government do with the problem of the drop in Chinas farmland?A . Government needs farmland to grow food for the people of China.B . Government will order not to build new towns any more.C . Government will stop the growth of the cities in order to stop selling farmland for business.D . Government will fight illegal land use and stop farmland from becoming dessert14. （8分）根据短文理解, 完成下列各题。ELong long ago, there was a spider. She found a beautiful farm.

Scientists have found a way to make power. They use nothing but movement of the human body.According to a team of scientists from Georgia, America, anything from walking to a standing heartbeat can produce certain energy. Then it will be caught and used by the nanogenerators (纳米发电机). The nanogenerator at a meeting of the American Chemical Society, showed how a small chip (芯片) with millions of small wires could use the human heart to make power. The wires are 500 times thinner than a humans hair. The scientists used a nanogenerator to provide power for a light and a LCD screen.Any kind of body movement can be used to produce power, and nanowires can also make electricity when wind blows，car runs and so on. It is not new, but scientists are trying to make it perfect.Scientists believe it has a future. While a few volts (伏特) may not seem like much, it has grown fast, said the projects lead scientist, Zhong Lin Wang (Z. L. Wang). According to him, if more nanowires and more nanogenerators are put together, they can produce enough energy for powering larger electronics, such as an ipod or a cell phone.（1）Why can our body produce electricity? A . Because our hair can make power.B . Because we have strong hearts.C . Because nanogenerators can catch us.D .
