But her record has been questioned because someone thought that she has not sailed far enough. She will also not be recognized by the World Speed Sailing Record Council, as it was too dangerous for someone under 18 years old. Ms Watson sailed into Sydney port on Saturday, seven months after leaving on a hard voyage. Family, friends and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd have gathered to greet her. Thousands of well-wishers waited at the port and watched from boats as Ms Watson sailed her pink, 10m boat over the finishing line. Many more Australians watched the event broadcast live on television. Watson said she was just an “ordinary girl who believed in her dream”.Ms Watson left Sydney on 18 October, despite that some people disagreed to her plan. Watson traveled northeast through the South Pacific and across the equator (赤道), south to Cape Horn at the tip of South America, across the Atlantic Ocean to South Africa, through the Indian Ocean and around southern Australia. The route took her through some of the worlds most changeful waters, and she battled through huge storms and suffered seven accidents of her boat.People around the world have followed Ms Watsons adventures on her blog, which she has daily updated (更新). On her blog, she wrote down beautiful sunrise over seas, the excitement of meeting a blue whale and the bright, terrible sight of a shooting star flying across the night sky above her boat. Ms Watson has reportedly sold her story to a news company for $700,000. She is planning to write a book on her experience. 46.

They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They dont care much about who wins or loses, and it doesnt seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cant be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself. Grown-ups can hardly find childrens games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, where it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught. It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win. 54. What is TRUE about children when they play games? A. They can stop playing any time they like.B. They can test their personal abilities. C. They want to pick a better team.D. They dont need rules.55. One of the reasons that a child likes playing games is that _. A. he can be someone other than himselfB. he can become popular among friends C. he finds he is always lucky in gamesD. he likes the place where he plays a game 56. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about children who play games?A. They have equal chances to win.B. Everyone obeys the rules.C. They are afraid of their partners.D. The situation they think of is in their control.57. The writer believes that _.A. children should make better rules for their gamesB. children should invite grown-ups to play with them C. childrens games can benefit them a lotD. children play games without reasons DScience cant explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer. Any owner will tall you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband or wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people-half of them pet owners-while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband or wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松)around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets dont judge.A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didnt lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs-and found it worth doing.58. What does the text mainly discuss? A. What pets bring to their owners. B. How pets help people calm down. C. Peoples opinions of keeping pets. D. Pets value in medical research.59. We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if _. A. he has a pet companion B. he has less stress of work C. he often does mental arithmetic D. he is taken care of by his family60. According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks? A. They have lower blood pressure. B. They become more patient. C. They are less nervous. D. They are in higher spirits.61. The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that _. A. people with dogs did more exercise B. dogs lost the same weight as people did C. dogs liked exercise much more than people did D. people without dogs found the program unhelpfulEPeople travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines (宗教圣地). Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous placesBut most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resort and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italys 30,000 hotels are booked every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spains long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain. But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, its getting worse. The French cant figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution. None of this, however, is spoiling anyones fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they dont go there for clean water and solitude(独居). They bear traffic jams and seem to like crowded beachesThey dont even mind the pollutionNo matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, its still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo. 62. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that _. A. they want to see historic remains or religious spots B. they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites D. they wish to escape from the cold，dark and rainy days back at home63. In paragraph 2，cities like London，Copenhagen，and Amsterdam are mentioned _. A. to show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate B. to tell us how wealthy their people are C. to suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty D. to prove that they have got more tourism than they handle64. According to the passage，which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?A. Italy.B. Spain.C. Greece.D. France.65. The latter half of the last sentence in paragraph 3, “or one
