In the past decade the popularity of rock climbing has greatly increased,and so has the number of injuries.It has been estimated that rock climbing is now enjoyed by more than 9 million people in the US each year.Study findings revealed a 65 percent increase in the number of patients that were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbingrelated injuries between 1991 and 2008.
The study,published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine,found that about 40,000 patients were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbingrelated injuries between 1991 and 2008.The most common types of rock climbingrelated injuries were fractures (骨折) and sprains (扭伤).The ankle was the most common body part to be injured (40 percent).Climbers in the study ranged in age from 2 to 74,with an average age of 26.The study also found that women took up a quarter of the injuries.
Falls were the primary reason for injury with over threequarters of the injuries occurring as the result of a fall.The severity of fallrelated injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall.Patients who were injured after falling from a height over 20 feet were 10 times more likely to be treated than patients who were injured falling from 20 feet or lower.
“We found that the climbers who fell from heights higher than 20 feet took up 70 percent of the

B
Did you ever look up at the moon and think you saw a man’s face there?When the moon is round and full,the shadows of the moon mountains and the lines of the moon valleys sometimes seem to show a giant nose and mouth and eyes.At least,some people think so.
If there were a man on the moon—instead of mountains and valleys that just look like the face of a man—what would he be like?
He would not be like anyone you know.He would not be like anyone anybody knows.
If the man on the moon were bothered by too much heat or cold the way Earth people are,he could not stay on the moon.
The moon becomes very,very hot.It becomes as hot as boiling water.And the moon becomes very,very cold.It becomes colder than ice.
Whatever part of the moon the sun shines on is hot and bright.The rest of the moon is cold and dark.
If the man on the moon had to breathe to stay alive,he couldn’t live on the moon because there’s no air there.(He’d have to carry an oxygen tank,as astronauts do.)There’s no food on the moon,either.Nothing grows—not even weeds.
If the man on the moon liked to climb mountains,he would be very happy.
But if the man on the moon liked to swim,he would be unhappy.There is no water on the moon—just dust and rock.
When you think of what it’s like on the moon,you may wonder why it interests our scientists.One reason is that the moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to.
Going back and forth between the moon and Earth,astronauts will get a lot of practice in space travel.Things learned on moon trips will be of great help to astronauts who later take long,long trips to some of the planets.
Scientists are also interested in the moon because it has no air.The air that surrounds Earth cuts down the view of the scientists who look at the stars through telescopes.A telescope on the moon would give them a clearer,closer view of the stars.
31.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.The Moon
B.The Man on the Moon
C.Research on the Moon
D.What Is It Like on the Moon?
32.What is the reason why our scientists are interested in the moon?
A.The moon is beautiful.
B.The moon is different from the Earth.
C.The moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to.
D.The moon is the easiest place in space to get to and it has no air,unlike Earth.
33.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The climate on the moon is quite different from that on the Earth.
B.Traveling between the moon and Earth will do much good to astronauts.
C.There is some food and weeds on the moon,even though there’s no air.
D.If you want to drink hot water on the moon,it’s not so hard to boil water.
34.The underlined word “rims” in Paragraph 8 means ________.
A.ball B.hill
C.round edge D.height
35.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.We can learn much from research on the moon.
B.There may be human beings on the moon.
C.If there were a man on the moon,there would be many similarities between the man on the moon and on the Earth.
D.A telescope on the moon would help scientists have a clearer,closer sight of the stars. C There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling.No school I have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill.There are,however,quite different ideas about how to teach it,or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability.The problem is,how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling. If spelling becomes the only point of his teacher’s interest,clearly a bright child will be likely to “play_safe”.He will write only words within his spelling range.That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability. I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience:“This work is terrible!There are far too many spelling mistakes.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing,but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had omitted(略过) to read the composition,which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelin 36.Teachers differ in their opinions about________. A.the difficulties in teaching spelling B.the role of spelling in general language development C.the importance of the basic writing skills D.the necessity of teaching spelling 37.The underlined expression “play safe” in Paragraph 2 probably means________. A.write carefully B.do as teachers say C.use dictionaries frequently D.avoid using words one is not sure of 38.Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that________. A.students will be able to express their ideas more freely B.teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes C.students will have more trust in writing D.students will lear 39.The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is________. A.reasonable B.unfair C.foolish 40.The major point discussed in the passage is______. A.the importance of developing writing skills B.the importance of spelling C.the correct way of marking composition D.the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition D My life suffered a lot in summer five years ago.My father died in a car accident,leaving my mother,my two younger brothers and I alone.At that time,I was a senior high school student.After my father’s funeral,I had no choice but to drop out of school and work in a factory. I really wanted to return to school and wanted to go to college,but I couldn’t.I only hoped to bring up my two young brothers.Life was not easy for me,for I can’t afford their tuition even if I worked from day to night without stopping.Without my father’s protection,I thought I was a slave to the fate. Later on,something changed my life.I still remember tha Suddenly the rain stopped!I raised my head and found “the sky” was in fact a dark blue umbrella.Then I noticed a middleaged man with one leg on crutch(拐杖) standing behind me.He said to me,“Why not run without an umbrella?If you didn’t run,you would get drenched.” The man told me that he was a promoter.He once dreamed of being a policeman,but an accident ruined his dream.Though his present job was not suitable for his legs,it was a wonderful start to him.He was very happy that he didn’t lose heart and still “ran” on the road of life... I was encouraged by the man’s words.I went to a big city and became an assurance representative.After two years’running,I did well and my family condition turned better little by little.Later I returned to school and succeeded in my entrance to university. Life is like this.When you are in rainy days in your life,if you couldn’t find a way to prevent you from being wet,you would be overwhelmed.But if you decide to get rid of it,you’ll discover that the rainy days last not so long as you imagine. 41.What happened to the writer at the beginning of the story? A.His father died in a car accident six years ago. B.He had to drop out of school to look after his sick mother. C.He couldn’t afford his two brothers’ D.He didn’t have money to hold the funeral for his father. 42.About the middleaged man with one leg on crutch,which of the following is NOT true? A.He had dreamt of being a policeman. B.He was a promoter. C.He lost one leg in an accident. D.He had a good job which was suitable for him very well. 43.What does the underlined word “drenched”in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese? A.湿透的 B.干燥的 C.紧张的 D.舒服的 44.What’s the main idea of the sixth paragraph? A.The w B.The writer made friends with the middleaged man and they got on well with each other. C.The writer had to give up his dream and became a promoter as the middleaged man. D.The writer learned from the middleaged man and the situation soon got better. 45.What’s the best title of the passage?

B.Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences,but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.For example,small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products.And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand.“The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year,so it is a very fastgrowing market,”said Sue Flock,a specialist in this line of business. C.Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted.Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environmentfriendly products have contributed to the pollution problem.One result is that millions of tons of glass,paper,plastic and metal containers are produced,and these are difficult to get rid of. D.However,today,more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be sa E.Only a few years ago,it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets,but now there are hundreds.Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green.Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasized it in their advertising. F.The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business.No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it,use it,throw it away,and forget it.”The public pressure is on,and gradually business is cleaning up its act. 请阅读以下读者的信息,然后匹配读者和他/她最适合的杂志。 46.How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood!But everything has changed,that is,the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were.Above all,a great deal of waste hardly rots away. ( ) 47.More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment,which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up. ( ) 48.Organic products are getting more and more popular among people,but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides. ( ) 49.I’m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden,for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides. ( ) 50.Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.

I prefer to spend most of my time with friends,because friends offer excitement and new ideas,they can comfort me when something bad happens,and spending too much time by myself can be boring. Friends can offer excitement and fresh ideas to a situation.For example,if I am shopping,a friend makes the experience more fun.We can look at things together,and explore our likes and dislikes. Friends can also comfort me if something bad happens.If I get bad news,and a friend is around,I do not have to feel bad by myself.A friend will try to cheer me up,and attempt to take my mind off whatever negative things happen.For example,last year I broke my leg and was in a cast all summer.I had friends around me to cheer me up and distract me from the misfortune. Overall,I think having friends around me is the best way for me to spend my time. 写作内容 1.以约30个词概括作者喜欢与朋友共处的原因。 2.然后以约120个词写一篇短文,包括以下要点: (1)你愿意独处还是与朋友共处?

Personally,I prefer to spend most of my time alone.Friends are important in our growth,but we should not forget the shortcomings of spending too much time with friends. First,peer pressure may direct us into some wrong doings.In order to please their socalled “friends”,teenagers may let their friends talk them into doing bad things.Moreover,even real friends may have different preferences.For example,I like classical music,but most of my friends love the noisy rock and roll.If we insist on spending our time together,both my friends and I would become unhappy.For this reason,I often feel like staying alone,especially when I want to do some reading. To sum up,it’s good to have real friends,but we also have something that is for us to do alone.
