Well, if you thought of “dangerous sports” like skateboarding, rock climbing, or scuba-diving, youd be wrong, because theyre not, in fact, that dangerous.According to recent statistics（统计资料）, the sport that causes most injuries is rugby, and football is a close second. Despite the popularity of these games, and although we teach school children to play them, they injure more people per 1,000 than motor-racing, skiing, or scuba-diving.Of course, people do get hurt in “adventure sports” and the most dangerous is climbing, which kills eight people a year. But it is not always obvious which activities are dangerous. For instance, two people die every year in skateboarding accidents, but the same number is killed by badminton, whereas six people a year die in fishing accidents! So “exciting” isnt always the same as “dangerous”.This is even true when you consider the activities of everyday life. Many more people die due to accidents in the home than from sports of any kind. Did you know that 160 people are killed per year by toothpaste and 3,600 are killed by curtains (although how this happens is a mystery)? And if you really want to live dangerously, then have a cigarette, or get in a car, because the three biggest killers in the UK are heart disease, cancer, and car accidents, in that order. So to live longer, stop smoking, sell the car, and start jumping out of airplanes!56. The purpose in writing this text is _ .A. to advise people against smoking and drivingB. to persuade people to go in for extreme sportsC. to prove how dangerous our daily life isD. to tell people not to do dangerous sports57. According to the article, which of the following is True?A. Heart disease is the biggest killer in the world.B. Football is a little safer than rugby.C. People who fish have the least risk of being killed.D. There are more car accidents in the UK than elsewhere.58. We can learn from the text that _ .A. risks dont exist in everyday activitiesB. extreme sports are always the most dangerousC. people ought to stay at home in order to avoid getting injuredD. rugby remains a popular game although its dangerous.59. The underlined sentence “So exciting isnt always the same as dangerous” means _A. people do get hurt in adventure sports.B. adventure sports are less dangerous than ordinary sports.C. adventure sports are popular because they are exciting.D. ordinary sports may cause dangerous accidents.BEd Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the worlds 14 highest mountains.His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asias snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.“It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous,” said Viesturs. “Theres no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches（雪崩）and ice falls that protect the mountain.”In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzogs tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzogs story was of frostbite（冻伤）and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.Viesturs got his start on Washingtons Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the worlds highest peaks. Finally, hes done.The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. “You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,” said Viesturs. “If we have the patience and the respect, and if were here at the right time, under the right circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down.”Whats next for a man who can stop climbing? “Im going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer,” says Viesturs. But for a man whos climbed the worlds 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.60. What record has Ed Viesturs set?A. He has succeeded in climbing to the worlds 14th highest mountain.B. He has been to the top of the worlds 14 highest mountains.C. He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545feet.D. He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.61.The underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “_”.A. frightened B. discouraged C. interested D. upset62. The author used Viestures words in Paragraph 6 to support a view that _.A. mountain climbing is a dangerous sportB. mountains should be regarded as living creaturesC. mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energyD. those who like mountain climbing wont stop climbing63. Whats the next probably plan of Viestures?A. Stopping climbing and staying with his family.B. Climbing to the top of the worlds 14 tallest mountains again.C. Climbing another one of the highest mountains.D. Writing down the experiences about his adventure.CYou could benefit from flipping through the pages of I Cant Believe You Asked That, a book by author Phillip Milano thats subtitled（副标题）, A No-Holds-Barred Q&A About Race, Sex, Religion, and Other Terrifying Topics.For the past seven years, Milano has operated , a Web site that was created to get us talking. Through the posting of sometimes foolish questions and the answers they produce, people are encouraged to have a barrier-free exchange on topics across racial, ethnic（伦理）and cultural lines. Often, the questions grow out of our biases（偏见）and fears and the stereotypes（古板）that fuel misunderstanding among us.As with the Web site, Milano hopes his book will be a social and cultural elixir（灵丹妙药）. “The time is right for a new culture of curiosity to begin to unfold, with people finally breaking down the last barrier to improve race and cultural relations by actually talking to each other about their differences”, Milano said in an e-mail message to me. Milano wisely used the Internet to start these conversations. In seven years, it has generated 50,000 postings many of them questions that people find hard to ask in a face-to-face exchange.But in his book, which was published earlier this month, Milano gives readers an opportunity to read the questions and a mix of answers that made it onto his Web site. “I am curious about what people who have been blind from birth see in their dreams,” a 13-year-old boy wanted to know. “Do African Americans pray to a white God or a black God?” a white teenager wanted to know.Like I said, these questions can produce a range of emotions and reactions. But the point of Milanos Web site, and his book, is not to get people mad, but to inform us “about the lives and experiences” of others.Getting people to openly say what they are thinking about things that give rise to stereotypes has never been easy. Most of us save those conversations for gatherings of people who look or think like us.64. The purpose of the website is to _.A. give people a chance to speak out B. prepare materials for a bookC. get people exchanging ideas freely D. solve the social and cultural problems65. The “last barrier” in Paragraph 3 mentioned in Melanos e-mail refers to _.A. the old culture of curiosity B. lack of direct communicationC. racial and cultural relations D. the differences between people66. The quotations（引用语）in paragraph 4 are intended to _.A. illustrate（阐述）the questions posted on the websiteB. justify the stereotypes existing in peoples mindsC. show different concerns of different groups of peopleD. show the possible emotions and reactions of the readers67. The authors positive attitude towards Milanos work is shown in _A. his confirmation of Milanos hope about his bookB. his explanation of the purpose of Milanos websiteC. his description of various emotions and responsesD. his quotation of the comments made by the experts68. What is the main idea of this passage ?A. A website narrows the gap between different cultures.B. A final barrier breaks down after continuous efforts.C. A man devotes himself to understanding among people.D. A book of tough questions helps deal with stereotypes.D（August 25, 2020, Xinhua News Agent）Pluto has been the ninth planet of the solar system for 70 years, which is controversial（富有争议的）since its discovery. Years of disputes among astronomers as well as fierce debate upon this International Astronomical Union Assembly, Pluto was dismissed of its planet status yesterday. From now on, orbiting the edge of the solar system, Pluto can only join its “brothers and sisters” of the similar size to be called as “dwarf” planet（矮行星）,similar to the former name of “minor planet”.International Astronomical Union Council （IAUC）declared the final draft（草案）, which was voted afterwards, saying the membership of solar system will be restricted to eight planets.This draft consists of two parts. In the first part, “Planet” is defined as a celestial body（天体） that is in orbit around the sun, having enough mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it takes on a nearly round shape, and has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.Those planets in solar system contains Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, all discovered before 1900. Some celestial body have same quality, round shape,but they can not clear other objects near the orbit. They are
