ADo you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale？Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.Yes, that's parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, and jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, "I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything."Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at anytime, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.21. Which of the following is TRUE of parkour?A. It is a team sport.B.It challenges human abilities.C. It needs special training.D. It is a good but boring sport.22. The underlined word ―obstacles‖ in Para 1 means ________.A. barriersB. objectsC. fencesD. gaps23. Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?A. Dreams and success.B. Excitement and popularity.C. Determination and freedom.D. Sports and extremes.24. What is the passage mainly about?A. When we can do parkour and how we do it well.B. What parkour is and where can do it.C. Why we do parkour and what we get from it.D. What parkour is and what it can bring us.ＢVisiting Joshua Tree National Park, CaliforniaJoshua Tree National Park is nearly 800,000 acres (英亩) large and surrounds parts of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts in South-central California.

In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity.However, there are also plenty of things that astronauts can't do because of their weightless environment, and that's very sad. What's worse, they can't even let their sadness show -- because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity.Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space, reported The Atlantic in January. Without gravity, tears don't flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go -- they just stick to your eyes.In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. "Tears," he said, "don't fall off your eye... They just kind of stay there."Besides making your vision unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that's not the case in space. The space environment dries out astronauts' eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. "My right eye is painful like crazy." Feustel told his teammate during the walk.Since gravity doesn't work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait -- "When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around," astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.There are lots of small things – things like crying – that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted, until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astronauts can't talk to each other directly. They also can't eat or drink in normal ways. They can't even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center.Thus, perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say: "Gravity, you're the best."28. What can we conclude from paragraphs 2 and 3?A. Astronauts are unable to feel sad in space.B. Astronauts produce fewer tears in space.C. Tears produced in space flow down more slowly.D. Tears produced in space don't flow downward.29. What effect do tears have on astronauts?A. They cause physical pain.B. They bring comfort to them.C. They make their vision clearer.D. They float around and cause trouble.30. What's the second-to-last paragraph mainly about?A. Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in space.B. Other basic things that are difficult to do in space.C. Why burping is impossible in space.D. Things that humans can't do without gravity.31. When of the following can be the best title for the text?A. In the sky, you can't burpB. Better life with gravityC. In the sky, you can't cryD. No Gravity, no tearsDIt was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apple's case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday."We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information," Mr. Schumer said. "They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed."On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further."It worries people to think that one's personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission," Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F.T.C. "If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and that's exactly what must happen."Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. "I'm optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation," he said. "If it's not changed, then we'll turn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn't work then we'll consider legislative approach."The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.32. Which of the following statements is True?A. Mr. Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously.B. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.C. Privacy invasion from Google has existed for a long time.D. Apple and Google have decided to make a change.33. The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google___________.A. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information.B. to urge them not to invade consumers' privacy.C. to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos.D. to keep them from obtaining the location information for each photo.34. If the privacy concerns can't be solved with the help of the F.T.C., ___________.A. The companies will be fined.B. The companies will be closed.C. The senators will turn to legislation.D. The senators will force the companies not to invade privacy.35. Where can we read about the passage?A.In a textbook.B. In a magazine.C. In a science report.D. In a newspaper.第二节七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
