But her record has been questioned because someone thought that she has not sailed far enough. She will also not be recognized by the World Speed Sailing Record Council, as it was too dangerous for someone under 18 years old.Ms Watson sailed into Sydney port on Saturday, seven months after leaving on a hard voyage. Family, friends and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd have gathered to greet her. Thousands of well-wishers waited at the port and watched from boats as Ms Watson sailed her pink, 10m boat over the finishing line. Many more Australians watched the event broadcast live on television. Watson said she was just an “ordinary girl who believed in her dream”.Ms Watson left Sydney on 18 October, despite that some people disagreed to her plan. Watson traveled northeast through the South Pacific and across the equator (赤道), south to Cape Horn at the tip of South America, across the Atlantic Ocean to South Africa, through the Indian Ocean and around southern Australia. The route took her through some of the world’s most changeful waters, and she battled through huge storms and suffered seven accidents of her boat.People around the world have followed Ms Watson’s adventures on her blog, which she has daily updated (更新). On her blog, she wrote down beautiful sunrise over seas, the excitement of meeting a blue whale and the bright, terrible sight of a shooting star flying across the night sky above her boat. Ms Watson has reportedly sold her story to a news company for $700,000. She is planning to write a book on her experience.46.

We can make a conclusion from this passage that Watson __________.A. would make another voyage for moneyB. made the world round voyage for moneyC. had no way to communicate with others during the voyage.D. is so confident and brave that she could overcome troubles on her own49. All the following can be inferred from this passage EXCEPT that __________.A. her book about her voyage is a best sellerB. p eople in Australia had much interest in her voyageC. she spent more than 200 days alone at seaD. people have different attitudes towards her voyageB50.

They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to ke ep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Y et, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities can’t be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they oft en feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, where it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.54. What is TRUE about children when they play games?A. They can stop playing any time they like.B. They can test their personal abilities.C. They want to pick a better team.D. They don’t need rules.55. One of the reasons that a child likes playing games is that __________.A. he can be someone other than himselfB. he can become popular among friendsC. he finds he is always lucky in gamesD. he likes the place where he plays a game56. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about children who play games?A. They have equal chances to win.B. Everyone obeys the rules.C. They are afraid of their partners.D. The situation they think of is in their control.57. The writer believes that __________.A. children should make better rules for their gamesB. children should invite grown-ups to play with themC. children’s games can benefit them a lotD. children play games without reasonsDScience can’t explain the power of pets, but many s tudies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.Any owner will tall you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband or wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New Y ork measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people---half of them pet owners---while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband or wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松)around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge.A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn’t lo se any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall---mostly with their dogs---and found it worth doing.58. What does the text mainly discuss?A. What pets bring to their owners.B. How pets help people calm down.C. People’s opinions of keeping pets.D. Pet’s value in medical research.59. We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if__________.A. he has a pet companionB. he has less stress of workC. he often does mental arithmeticD. he is taken care of by his family60. According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?A. They have lower blood pressure.B. They become more patient.C. They are less nervous.D. They are in higher spirits.61. The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that __________.A. people with dogs did more exerciseB. dogs lost the same weight as people didC. dogs liked exercise much more than people didD. people without dogs found the program unhelpfulEPeople travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines (宗教圣地). Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places．But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resort and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it’s getting worse. The French can’t figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.None of this, however, is spo iling anyone’s fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water and solitude(独居). They bear traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches．They don’t even mind the pollution．No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.62. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that __________.A. they want to see historic remains or religious spotsB. they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customsC. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sitesD. they wish to escape from the cold，dark and rainy days back at home63. In paragraph 2，cities like London，Copenhagen，and Amsterdam are mentioned __________.A. to show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climateB. to tell us how wealthy their people areC. to suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beautyD. to prove that they have got more tourism than they handle64. According to the passage，which of the following countries attracts more tourists than theoth ers?A. Italy.B. Spain.C. Greece.D. France.65. The latter half of the last sentence in paragraph 3, “or one tourist for every person living inSpain” means __________.A. all the 37 million people living in Spain are touristsB. every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that countryC. every person living in Spain has to take care of a touristD. every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year四．单词拼写1.
