As the first African American to play in the Major League in modern times, many believe he changed the country forever. Robinson was born in 1919. He lived in a time when rules controlled what African Americans could do. He was a top athlete, playing football, basketball and baseball. But playing for a major League team was off limits to Robinson because of his race. It wasnt easy. Robinson sometimes faced boos (嘘声) from fans. But he became a star, anyway. In 1962, he became the first African-American player chosen to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 2005, he was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal, the highest award Congress can give to an American. By breaking baseballs color barrier (肤色障碍), Robinson opened the door for many to follow his footsteps, not only in baseball, but in other areas of life as well. After he stopped playing the game, Robinson worked as a manager for a coffee company. He wrote a newspaper column (专栏). He also started a bank. 31. Before Jackie Robinson, no African-American players could _.A. play baseballB. play in the Major LeagueC. play football and basketballD. watch Major League games32. According to Branch Rickey, Jackie Robinson was _.A. poor but clever B. unlucky but confidentC. proud and strongD. brave and skilled33. We can know that Jackie Robinsons story _.A. changed many Africans ideasB. had an effect on many black peoples livesC. encouraged black people to fight with whitesD. started a hot discussion about the color barrier34. Which of the following is NOT what he once did?A. a newspaper column writer B. a bankerC. a university teacher D. a manager in a companyBLONDON: What could possibly be wrong with planting trees? The advantages are obvious; they firm the soil, soak up (摄取) extra water and take carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) out of the atmosphere.However, it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming.Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and central Asia. Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface. The dust fuels oceanic life.Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a tree-planting programme there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean.Andy Ridgwell, an environmental scientist from the University of East Anglia, has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work “shows clearly the complexity of the system and the importance of not tinkering(粗劣地修补) with it without understanding the results. For this reason there is the need to focus(集中) on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than monkeying (瞎弄) about with the land surface.”In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed(超过) by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground. Countries that plan to combat global warming by planting trees may have to think again. Solutions(解决办法) to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear, and understanding the Earths climate is a very great challenge.35People usually hold the opinion that Ahuge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxideBhuge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the earthChuge dust storms cant do anything beneficial for manDplanting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms36Andy Ridgwell, the environmental scientist, believes that Adust plays a more important part than treesBtrees shouldnt have been planted in dry placesCcarbon dioxide is harmful to everything on the earthDenvironmental problems are more complex than expected37Robert Jacksons experiment proves that Agrassland areas should be covered by forestsBtrees hold more carbon than grassCcarbon can turn grass into dustDless carbon can make trees grow faster38The underlined word “combat” in the last paragraph means Alearn aboutBfight againstClive withDgive upCSummer Holiday Fun 2010 !

To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the governments health budget be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctorDaily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For instance, keeping a balanced diet, such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stressIn addition, health education plays a key role in improving peoples health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education42Whats the best title of the passage?APrevention or Education?

At that time, it was also a common practice to steal women from neighboring villages. 47 A large number of competitors, people, and journalists from Finland to Canada attend the Wife-carrying World Championship every year. 48 The Wife-carrying World Championship is held on a 253.3 meters long official track. The track has two dry obstacles and a water obstacle, about a meter deep. The wife to be carried may be your own, or your neighbors. The minimum weight of the wife to be carried is 49 kg. If she is less than 49kg, the wife will be given a heavy bag to carry.
