Most young people enjoy physical activities, like walking, cycling, football, or mountaineering.
Those who have a passion 36 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 37 with astonishment. Why are men and women
38 to suffer cold and hardship, and to take a(n) 39 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the differences between mountaineering and other forms of activities 40 which men give their leisure.
There are man-made rules in many sports, 41 in golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to 42 , but it is this freedom from man-made rules 43 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own 44 .
If we 45 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that in mountaineering there is
no “teamwork”. 46 , this is only a misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no “matches”
47 “teams” of climbers, but when cli mbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may 48 , obviously, there is teamwork.

第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
Ａ
Everyone has good days and bad days. Sometimes, you feel as if you were on top of the world. But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and you can’t focus on your schoolwork.
For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high
self-esteem (自尊) is the key to success. Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail in something.
“Forget about self-esteem,” says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Michigan, US. “It’s not the most important thing.”
Ｆｅｅｌｉｎｇｇｏｏｄ
Crocker’s advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself. Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem. But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on
self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person. He believes that violent and wicked people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said, “There’s no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.”
Ｐｒｏｂｌｅｍｓ
“All types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos (自我) that can make them less likeable to their peers (同龄人),” said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University. “People with high self-esteem tend to depend more on themselves. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.”
Ｗｈａｔｔｏｄｏ
Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail in something, try to learn from the experience. “The best medicine is to recognize your faults,” Vohs said. “It’s OK to say, ‘I’m not so good at that,’ and then move on.”
56. The new research comes to the conclusion that high self-esteem ________.
A. is not important at all
B. has taken on a different meaning
C. may not be the key to success
D. does not help you do better in school
57. The underlined word “better” in Paragraph 4 most probably refers to “________”.
A. helpful or supportive
B. gentle or powerful
C. strong or healthy
D. friendly or kind
58. One of the conclusions of the new research is that ________.
A. feeling good about yourself doesn’t mean you lead a happier life
B. people with high self-esteem usually don’t seek help from other people
C. people with high self-esteem are more likeable
D. people with low self-esteem are often more popular
59. We can infer that the best medicine mentioned in the last paragraph is mainly for people ________.
A. with high self-esteem
B. with low self-esteem
C. who need support
D. who are focusing on building self-esteem
Ｂ

Africa’s rivers face dramatic disruption (中断) that will leave a quarter of the continent severely short of water by the end of the century, according to a global warming study published today.
The study, which appears in the journal ＳｃｉｅｎｃｅＴｏｄａｙ, is the first to identify how Africa’s rivers will respond to climate change over the century. The extent to which slight changes in rainfall could impact on rivers had never been realized before.
The researchers used a computer to divide the continent into 1,000 km wide squares (about 620 miles) and worked out the total length of streams and rivers in each block. They used climate change models to calculate the expected changes in rainfall across the continent and the effect they would have on river levels. The scientists found that in 75% of the countries that receive between 400 mm and 1,000 mm of rain a year, shifts in rainfall caused larger rises or falls in river levels than expected. In Harare a 10% drop in rainfall is expected to lead to an 81% drop in fresh water from rivers, a situation which the scientists believe will be mirrored in Madagascar, eastern Zambia and Angola. South Africa, which is experiencing a long-drawn-out drought, can expect far less water from the Orange River. A 10% fall in rainfall over Johannesburg and Bloemfontein will lead to a 70% drop in river levels. The study predicts that rain will increase over east Africa. Climate change is expected to bring 10% more rain to Tanzania before the end of the century, increasing water course levels by 136%, while Somalia faces a 20% rise in rainfall, leading to more than a 1,000% increase in the water it receives from waterways. However, increased rainfall could lead to more standing water, more mosquitoes, and widespread malaria.
64. How many African countries are referred to in the passage?
A. 5.
B. 6.
C. 7.
D. 8.
65. Researchers did the following kinds of work in their study EXCEPT .
A. dividing the continent into 1,000 km wide squares
B. working out the total length of streams and rivers in each block
C. calculating the expected changes in rainfall across the continent
D. working hard to prevent global warming
66. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. There is no relationship between shifts in rainfall and river levels.
B. A 10% drop in rainfall will lead to an 81% drop in fresh water from rivers in Africa.
C. It is believed that global warming will cause a serious river crisis in Africa.
D. The rise in rainfall will benefit east Africa a lot.
67. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Forecast shows Africa will face a river crisis.
B. The effect of global warming.
C. Lack of water in Africa.
D. Rainfall and river level.
Ｄ
A danger is waiting for the world’s largest mammals; many of them will become endangered species in the coming years.
In the biggest whale killer, more than 2,000 animals are likely to be directly hunted by the three countries continuing whaling against world opinion — Japan, Norway and Iceland.
Japan is leading the way among the three. Its whaling ships are firing harpoons (鱼叉) right now in the Antarctic Ocean, hunting for 935 whales. All of them are being hunted under the excuse of killing whales for research purposes. This label is a fiction which fools no one, as whale meat, popular with Japanese consumers, is available on the open market.
Greenpeace has decided to take the fight directly to the Japanese, and has sent two of its large campaigning ships to the Southern Ocean to try to hinder whaling operations directly. Some campaigners are now calling for the anti-whaling countries to take legal action against Japan over the “scientific” whaling problem.
“Scientific whaling needs to be stopped, and legal action needs to be taken against Japan in the International Court,” said Joth Singh, director of wildlife and habitats for the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
“We believe there is, in fact, an opportunity to do that, and we have contracted a lawyer in Australia who has done an evaluation (评估) of the possibilities of legal action. We think that like-minded countries should look at it.
“They need to take this problem to the International Court, because international pressure is required. Trade sanctions (制裁) should certainly be a possibility.” Mr Singh added, “I have been attending IWC meetings for years, and a number of resolutions (提案) which have been passed aimed at stopping scientific whaling have had no effect. Diplomatic notes to Japan have had no effect either.
“If there is any seriousness about saving whales, this seems to be the wa y.”
68. The following measures have been taken to stop whaling EXCEPT _______.
A. trade sanctions
B. resolutions
C. diplomatic notes
D. taking direct fight
69. The underlined word “hinder” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “_______”.
A. give a hand to
B. get in the way of
C. put an end to
D. give hope and confidence to
70. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. Japan refused to admit that its action of killing whales is wrong.
B. People in the world believe what Japan says about why they kill whales.
C. Japan is killing whales under the excuse of scientific research purposes.
D. Whale meat is enjoyed by Japanese people and available on the open market.
71. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _______.
A. discuss the possibility of a legal action against Japan
B. disclose Japan’s cruel attitude towards sealife
C. tell us that whale meat is popular with Japanese people
D. call on people to take measures to prevent some countries from killing whales 72. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. Greenpeace is an organization whose aim is to keep Japan from killing whales
B. the international court will deal with the problem of Japan’s whaling
C. Japan is still killing whales although many counties are against it
D. the world’s largest mammals will disappear in the coming years Ｅ
To explain why he liked his art teacher the best, Dainzin Tanam could not write more words than a simple sentence, “Because he teaches me painting.”
In the eyes of his teachers at the Lhasa Special Education School, the deaf boy was a little painter. Five years ago, however, Tanam could only stay in bed until noon and wait for his parents’ return.
His mother Yangzom said she had no choice but to lock him in the house every day.
“Every day when I came back home and saw my poor lonely son, I felt my heart hurt. But now I can finally feel a bit relieved,” the mother said. She said it was the school that changed her son. “Without the school, I d are not imagine how my son will be now.”
With a governmental fund of 4.5 million yuan, the special education school was founded in 2000. As the only government-run school for
handicapped children in Tibet, it now has 28 teachers and 120 school children in 9 classes of 5 grades.
Students can enjoy free food, boarding, clothing and medical services in the school.
Tibetan sign language and Tibetan Braille are basic courses here. Children also have Chinese, math, science, painting, dancing and sports lessons.
A “black and white” textbook seemed ap pealing among the colorful books in Tanam’s schoolbag. The tex t was handwritten.
It was the Tibetan language textbook compiled and written by teachers themselves.
“As textbooks for students in ordinary schools are too abstract and hard for our kids to understand, two other Tibetan language teachers and I comp iled the textbook to make things easier for them,” said Dawa, a teacher in the school.
Those books created with the love of all the teachers will surely help children enjoy their life by supporting themselves after leaving the school.
73. Which of the following words can best describe Yangzom’s feeling about the special school?
A. Relieved.
B. Grateful.
C. Excited.
D. Lighthearted.
74. Who wrote the “black and white” textbooks for the children?A. Only Dawa.
B. All the teachers in the special school.
C. Dawa and another two teachers.
D. Not sure as they were sent by the government.
75. We can infer from the passage that _______.
A. the children in this school pay less money than those in common schools
B. all the students are of the same age in this school
C. the teachers wrote the textbooks so that the students can study more easily
D. education will have little effect on the children’s future life 第四部分写作?穴共两节, 满分35 分?雪

Ｒｅｃａｌｌｉｎｇｍｙｓｃｈｏｏｌｌｉｆｅ
Though now I work as a professional lawyer, I always think about my school life in my senior middle school.
Then I lived in school with some other students whose homes were far away from our school too. As we all left home at an early age, we had lots of problems in our daily life. We had to do the washing, cleaning and shopping by ourselves. However, we seldom felt lonely or helpless. At weekends, we would play basketball, swim in the pool or go for a picnic. We treated each other as brothers and sisters. If any one of us had any difficulty, the others would help him or her. We felt comfortable in the humorous atmosphere.
It has been almost ten years since we graduated, but those memories are as sweet as ever.
