She loves rock, but she cant sing or play the guitar! She is a rock climber and a big star in France and Italy. She is the most famous woman climber in the world because she often climbs without ropes. She climbs in many countries but most often in the French Alps near Chamonix, where she lives. She started climbing near her home in Paris when she was five. Then, at fourteen, she joined the French Alpine Club to learn more, but immediately she climbed better and more quickly than the older members of the club. She won her first competition in Italy in 1995.Three years ago she found a new route up the Dru Mountain near Chamonix. The climb took eleven days and for four days the snow was so heavy that she could not move. Last year other climbers tried to follow the new Destivelle Route, but they failed. They are going to try again this year.People always ask her about her climbing. She says, “I climb because Im in love with mountains. I like touching the rock and reading the face of the rock. I like it a lot. I felt at home on the side of a mountain. I prepare well before I go, so Im never worried.”Catherine chooses new mountains from bookslike buying from a shopping catalogue (目录)! “I see a nice mountain and I go to climb it!” Her next mountain is in Pakistan. She is going there next month. “Its much bigger than the Dru, so its going to take longer to climb. An American climber, Jeff Lowe, is coming with me to help.”51Catherine Destivetle is called “a star” because _.A. she won a competition in 1995B. she loves rocksC. shes a famous woman climberD. she found a new route up to the Dru Mountain52She had great trouble finding a new route up the Dru Mountain because _.A. she lost her wayB. the climb took 11 daysC. she needed help from an American climberD. there was heavy snow53On the side of a mountain she feels _.A. worriedB. easy and happyC. like staying at homeD. well54We can infer from the passage people often ask her “_”.A. Why do you like climbing?B. Are you in love with an American climber?C. Do you enjoy reading books on mountains?D. What do you do before you go climbing?B Most American kids love Halloween treats, but a bucket of Halloween candy can be a dentists nightmare. Some parents try to get rid of half of the candy after their children go to bed, but dentists say parents also need to separate the good kinds of treats from the bad. It is not exactly what a child eats that truly matters, but how much time it stays in his mouth. According to pediatric dentist Dr. Kaneta Lott, the most damaging stuff is something that is sticky or very hard and thus stays in the mouth for a long time. This is because we all have bacteria in our mouths. When we eat, the bacteria take our food as their food and produce an acid that destroys the surface of the teeth, causing cavities to form. The longer the food stays in the mouth, the more likely cavities will develop. Therefore, potato chips are worse than candy because they get stuck between teeth. For the same reason, raisins and crackers are not the best choice. Hard candies take a long time to consume and are also a bad choice for Halloween treats If children really love candy, dentists recommend that they eat chocolate instead. Unlike hard candies, chocolate dissolves quickly in the mouth. Besides, chocolate contains tannins, which help to kill some of the bacteria in the mouth. But no matter what a child eats, brushing after each meal is still the best way to fight cavities. 55What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To discuss how cavities can be treated. B. To point out the problems with Halloween celebrations. C. To tell parents what sweets are less damaging to their childrens teeth. D. To teach parents the meaning of Halloween candies for their children. 56Why are hard candies especially bad for teeth? A. They may break the childs teeth. B. They contain too much sugar. C. They help bacteria to produce tannins. D. They stay in the mouth for a long time. 57According to the passage, which of the following is a better choice for Halloween treats? A. Chocolate.B. Crackers.C. raisins.D. Potato chips.58According to the passage, which of the following is true of tannins? A. They are produced when the bacteria digest the food. B. They help to get rid of some bacteria in the mouth. C. They help chocolate to dissolve more quickly. D. They destroy the surface of the teeth. C The largest television network in America is not ABC, CBS, or Fox. Nor is it one of the cable networks such as CNN, which carries only news and news stories. It is not ESPN, the all-sports cable net-work, or even MTV, which is famous for its music videos. Rather it is PBS, Public Broadcasting System, a non-profit public broadcasting TV service. PBS has 349 member television stations in the U. S. and some member stations by cable in Canada. PBS only attracts a minority of all TV viewers, about 2 percent. The industry leader, NBC, however, attracts 11 percent of viewers. But the growth of public television in the past two decades has been dramatic. This is especially noteworthy when one considers that public television stations must often survive on very limited budgets, on viewers donations, and on private foundations and some governmental funding. The level of quality of PBS programs, whether in national and international news, entertainment, or education, is excellent. Almost a whole generation of children throughout the world is familiar with Sesame Street and the characters of The Muppet Show. PBS is especially well known for the quality of its many educational TV programs. Over 95 percent of all public television stations have tele-courses. These courses are accepted and supported by more than 1,800 colleges and universities throughout the US. Each year, over a quarter of a million students take courses this way. 59According to this article, PBS received part of its funding from._. A. private organizationsB. public schoolsC. advertising agenciesD. other television stations60What is PBS most famous for? A. Cable services.B. Generous donations.C. Educational programs.D. Live news broadcasts.61Which of the following is true about public television stations? A. The majority of their viewers are minority people. B. Ninetyfive percent of their programs are telecourses. C. They are shrinking in number because they make no profits. D. Their courses are accepted by many universities in America. 62Which of the following has the highest percentage of viewers? A ABCB. PBSC. NBCD. FoxD Last week Jay McCarroll and The HSUS(The Humane Society of the United States) made a bold fur-free statement on the runway, marking a new chapter for the fashion industry and animal protection. The encouraging response to McCarrolls show confirmed that change is happening in fashion. McCarroll has good reasons for rejecting fur. Each year, tens of millions of animals, including dogs and cats, needlessly suffer and die to fuel the fur industry. But what did Jay McCarroll use in place of fur? “I have patchwork pieces that contain all sorts of combinations of fabrics. The rest is cotton, nylon, polyester . . . you name it. I even have some stuff made out of bamboo/cotton blend. Anything but fur and leather, ”he told Fashion Wire Daily. “So many people want to protect animals and live their lives without causing unnecessary cruelty. More than two thirds of Americans have pets, and we share a bond with animals every day. Saying no to fur can help millions of animals, and we want to show our respect to leading designers like Jay who embrace compassion as the fashion, ”said Michael Markarian, executive vice president of The HSUS. “It is great to see leaders in the fashion industry recognizing that the animals need their fur more than we do.”63Which of the following is true about Jay McCarroll? A. He is a famous fashion designer. B. He is the executive vice president of the HSUS. C. He is an editor of Fashion Wire Daily. D. He is the head of all animal protection organization. 64What does “a new chapter” in line two, paragraph one mean? A. A new unit of a book.B. The beginning of a new trend.C. The latest issue of a magazine. D. A newly established organization. 65Which of the following is NOT recommended for clothing by Jay McCarroll? A. Polyester.B. Bamboo.C. Leather.D. Patchwork pieces.66What do we learn from this passage? A. Human beings depend emotionally on animals. B. Fashion can go hand in hand with compassion for life. C. Fur is more effective than bamboocotton blend for clothing. D. Fur is more expensive than other materials for fashion designers.E Twenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. Its hard to cling to that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children. For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (反过来), boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away too hear the teacher. Likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of t
