He once found himself and two of his men at the top of an icy mountain ridge (山脊) . They had no way to get down to its side. Their destination had been the tiny Whaling Station of strummers, near the South Pole. Shackleton knew if they didnt get down from the ridge, no one would ever hear from them again.Shackleton knew there was only one thing to do. He explained that they would all have to slide down. He instructed the two men to wind(绕) their ropes into a coil(卷) .Then each of the men sat down on a coiled and slid down the icy slope into the darkness. When they found themselves at the bottom, unhurt, Shackleton said, You know, we shouldnt do that kind of thing too often. The laughter broke the tension all the men were feeling. They arrived later than expected, but safely at the Whaling Station.41.Sir Shackleton was _A. both brave and bright B. neither brave nor smartC. either shy or foolish D courageous and stupid42.It would be _ if they couldnt slide down the ridge.A. safe B. dead C. dangerous D. good43.

Thats what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.Al Herpin died at the age of 95.46.The main idea of this passage is that _A. large numbers of people do not need sleepB. a person was found who actually didnt need any sleepC. everyone needs some sleep to stay aliveD. people can live longer by trying not to sleep47.The doctors came to visit Herpin, expecting _A. to cure him of his sleeplessnessB. to find out whether his sleeplessness was really trueC. to find out why some old people didnt need any sleepD. to find a way to free people from the need of sleeping48. After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that Al Herpin _A. needed some kind of sleep B . was too old to need any sleepC. needed no sleep at all D .often slept in a chair49.One reason that might explain Herpin s sleeplessness was _A. his mothers injury before he was bornB. that he had gradually got rid of the sleeping habitC. his magnificent physical conditionD. that he hadnt got a bed50.Al Herpin s condition could be regarded as _A. a common one B. one that could be curedC. very healthy D. a rare oneCWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities（配套设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.51Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection？A. It is extremely important to develop tourism. B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary. D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.52The underlined word“ inhabitants” （in Paragraph 1 ）probably means_.A. tourists B. passengers C. population D. citizens53Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT _ .A. a bad effect on other industries B. a change of tourists customsC. over-crowdedness of places of interest D. pressure on traffic54It can be inferred from the text that _ .A. the author doesnt like tourism developing so fastB. local people will benefit from tourist attractionC. other parts of a countrys economy wont benefit from tourism muchD. we cant build too many support facilities55The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will _ .A. waste a lot of money B. weaken their economyC. help establish their customs D. help improve their lifeD We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.So, you have to give a speechand you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, its over. Im just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheep up! It doesnt have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Dont talk over their heads, and dont talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you dont have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! Youre not convinced yet?
