Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Overcoming extreme cold，cruel ice and people dismissing him as mad, Slovenian Davo Kamicar became the first person to ski non-stop down Mount Everest.
After a dramatic fall over almost sheer cliffs of snow, stones and ice, 38-year-old Kamicar emerged in his base camp after five hours of skiing. “I feel only absolute happiness and absolute tiredness,” he said.
At one stage he had to speed over stretches of ice that collapsed and broke underneath him and could have sent him falling into the deep crevasses(裂缝) that dot the mountain.
The descent(下落) had been seen by many as insanely dangerous. The Darwin Awards website, which documents deaths which are foolhardy, urged people to log on to Internet broadcasts of the attempt. “Keep your eyes peeled for a live Darwin Award,” it said.
However, the only body to make the news was the corpse(尸体) of an unknown mountaineer which Kamicar zipped past as he descended, one of an estimated 120 corpses, thought to litter the slopes.
“This mountain is always full of surprises. Seeing a dead man out there was a really shocking experience,” he said.
Thanks to strategically placed cameras on the mountain and one attached to his safety helmet, hundreds of thousands of people witnessed his descent on the Internet, which was one of the record highs ever. During the run more than 650,000 hits were registered on his expedition website jamming it for a time as others tried to access the site.
Weather conditions were so severe that Kamicar had to abandon plans to rest on the summit before attempting to descend. Instead, suffering from fatigue, as soon as he reached the top he put on his skis and flung himself back down the mountain.
Dealing with the mountain had already cost Kamicar two fingers when a previous failed attempt saw him get frostbite as a fierce storm lashed the peak.
Kamicar comes from a skiing family and took part in his first Himalayan skiing expedition in 1989. Since then, he has been tireless in raising funds and sponsorship for more expeditions, with Everest as the permanent goal.
56. Davo Kamicar made history by ______.
A, skiing down Mount Everest without rest
B. descending Mount Everest within the shortest time ever.
C. attracting largest number of audience online for his descent.
D. becoming the first to film his descent down Mount Everest
57. The underlined word foolhardy in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.
A. sudden and hard to accept
B. taking unnecessary risks
C. attracting public attention
D. working hard to fool others
58. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Kamicar saw about 120 dead bodies littering the slope.
B. The broadcast of his descent online was cancelled because of the website jam.
C. Kamicar’s family had a tradition to conquer Mount Everest.
D. This was not Kamicar’s first attempt on Mount Everest.
59. The best title for the passage is ______.
A. Mad man skis down Everest.
B. Darwin Award for Davo Kamicar
C. Extreme sports hero slides to a record
D. Body of mountaineer found on Everest

THE GREAT DUNES（沙丘）3 DAYS
THE EXPERIENCE
This 3 days desert trek is a straight-line route, bringing you to the longest sand dune field in Morocco, the Erg Chigaga great dunes, approx. 60km from your trek start point at Mhamid. You will therefore require 4×4 transport back out of the desert, with two onward journey options.
On reaching Erg Chigaga, you can choose to camp a third night at the foot of the great dunes or, if short on time, travel back out of the desert to Mhamid on the third evening (the 2hrs journey by 4×4 to Mhamid will be made shortly after sunset, to allow you time to enjoy the day’s end from a vantage point on the dunes). If you camp at Erg Chigaga on the last night, you are able to take a vehicle transfer out of the desert next morning to Marrakech (or Ouarzazate), exiting the desert to the north-west at Foum Zguid and expecting to reach Marrakech late afternoon, or transfer back to Mhamid during the morning.
Your trekking route will take you via the regions marked Lotide and Bougarn on our Map. You will stay north of the Draa River course.

However, if you choose to upgrade to ‘trekking with comfort’, your nights camping out in the Sahara will be altogether a different experience. The camps, as with the standard trekking, are not fixed by location and are entirely private for your trek.
Sleep on a plush mattress, with linens, quilt and pillows, hot water bottle (in Winter), inside a spacious, carpeted Berber tent (5mx4m). In warmer conditions, have your bed set up outside.
We provide a separate tent for evening meal-times, with table and chairs, and pouffes/cushions for relaxation
near the campfire, or for star-gazing. Lunches are al fresco and under shade.
Hot water and towels are available for bucket-washing (which conserves water).

（C）
Pluto-which famously was degraded from a “major planet” in 2006--- captured our imagination because it was a mystery that could complete our picture of what it was like at the most remote of our solar system .
Pluto’s underdog discovery story is part of what makes it so appealing . Clyde Tombaugh was a Kansas far boy who built telescopes out spare auto parts , old farm equipment and self-ground lenses. As an assistant at Lowell Obser vatory in Flagstaff , Arizona , Tombaugh’s task was to search among millions of stars for a moving point of light , a planet that the observatory’s founders thought existed beyond the orbit of Neptune . After years ‘ efforts , Tombaugh finally found it . Pluto was the first planet discovered by an American , and represented a moment of light in the darkness of the Great Depression.
For decades , Pluto thrived in its role as the ninth major planet of our solar system ,even though it was tiny compared to the others and so far away.
However , 62 years after its discovery , two astronomers discovered another planet-like object beyond the orbit of Neptune. Six months later ,they discovered a third object. It looked like Pluto might actually be a member of a sort of asteroid belt , similar to but way beyond one we’ve known about for a long time between the orb its of Mars and Jupiter.
Another 14 years passed , dozens more objects beyond Neptune like Pluto had been discovered , so the International Astronomical Union elected to degrade the planet. It now shares its dwarf designation with three of the 1,200 bodi es that have been located beyond Neptune today , collectively known as “Kuiper Belt Objects.”
The Kuiper Belt is populated by icy bodies that are remnants of the solar system’s formation. These are the building blocks of planets. We now also know the surface of Pluto contains ices composed of methane, nitrogen,
and other compounds familiar to us . It also seems to have a bright polar cap, like on earth . Its atmosphere is very thin, but it’s composed largely of nitrogen , like our own.
So, as we finally get within 7,800 miles of Pluto today , we scientists are hoping we can finally understand how the chaos at the beginning of the solar system, could have created objects so similar and yet so foreign as Earth and Pluto. Pluto is much more than something tha t is not a planet. It’s a reminder that there are many worlds out there beyond our own----that the sky isn’t the limit at all. We don’t know what kinds of fantastic variations on a theme nature is capable of making until we get out there to look.
1. Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in ________
A. 1930
B.1939
C. 1992
D. 2006
2. Now the official designation of Pluto is __________

3. Pluto and Earth are to some extent similar for_______
A. both of them are populated by icy bodies that are remnants of the solar system’s formation 4.6 billion years ago.
B. the atmosphere of either of them is mainly made up of nitrogen.
C. there are ices throughout the surface of both
D . both of them have bright polar caps on the north pole as well as the south pole.
4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. There are nine major planets in the solar system .
B. There is an asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
C. Pluto now shares its designation with 1,200 bodies that have been beyond Neptune.

Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proer sentence given in the box. Each
Criticisms in life
Criticism can be divided into two types.
The first type is when someone expresses their disapproval. This is the type of criticism that can be the most hurtful. Parents might express their disapproval of your choice in career, friends or lifestyle. People may criticize how you dress or the way you act. It can be terribly unpleasant to tolerate it
The second type of criticism involves pointing out your weaknesses and mistakes. No one is perfect, yet may imperfect people seem to find it extremely easy to “let us know” when we mess up. ___1______And the fact that they are telling us what we already know makes it much more annoying. When people express their disapproval of some area of your life you first need to consider how you feel about it You need to be secure in who you are and the decisions that you make._____2_____
Remember that there is a difference between being firm in your choices and being stubborn. Don’t be stubborn.
Be mature enough to truly hear what they are saying, even if you don’t agree with it at first. ____3______ If not, just let it go and trust that they meant well, but what they were saying is not for you Do not be mad at them.
_____4______ improving yourself works best if you can see yourself from different angles.
Other people have different views on what you are doing and can help you. If you are one of those people who just want to learn the hard way, try listening to some advice for a change. It might do you some good.
Iv. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
A severe drought across some East African countries (Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda and Djibouti) has left at least ten million people in urgent need of help.
It is the worst drought in over 60 years. Crops have failed and many animals have died, leaving people with no food. The United Nations says that 250,000 children are seriously malnourished.
Sabria, 15, from Kenya, is looking after her niece in drought stricken Africa.
“We go to bed hungry every night. I sing for the small ones when they are crying, but they always end up crying themselves to sleep. Water has also become a problem. We don’t wash any more. We drink all the water we get, and it is still not enough.”
Sabria, her sister and her-sister’s children live with her mother, Zeinabu, in a small room in another family’s house. Zeinabu used to have 180 cows and 200 goats. However, they have all died because of the drought and she can no longer afford to pay for Sabria to go to school.
“We live on the food the charity gives us: maize, beans, porridge and cooking oil. What we get for a month would normally only be enough for a week.”
In Kenya, the charity ActionAid is working hard to give emergency help to people. However, in spite of the charity’s efforts, five million people are in urgent need of food and the situation is likely to get worse over the next few months. Some families are only eating one meal a day and children are missing school in order to help their families.
Despite such extreme circumstances, Zeinabu and Sabria are both hopeful for the future. Sabria is hoping to go back to school and wants to become a police officer when she is older.
