In the past decade the popularity of rock climbing has greatly increasedand 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 studypublished in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicinefound 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 74with 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 patients treated for a rock climbing­related injury” explained the study author Lara McKenziePhDdirector at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Hospital.“This trendcombined with the fact that rock climbers have a higher hospitalization rate than other sports and recreational injuriesdemonstrates the need to increase injury prevention efforts for climbers.”

26Which body part is most likely to get injured for a climber?

AThe arm.             BThe ankle.

CThe knee.            DThe hand.

27How many women climbers in America got injured while climbing a rock between 1991 and 2008?

Did you ever look up at the moon and think you saw a man’s face thereWhen the moon is round and fullthe shadows of the moon mountains and the lines of the moon valleys sometimes seem to show a giant nose and mouth and eyes.At leastsome 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 arehe could not stay on the moon.

The moon becomes veryvery hot.It becomes as hot as boiling water.And the moon becomes veryvery 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 alivehe couldn’t live on the moon because there’s no air there.(He’d have to carry an oxygen tankas astronauts do.)There’s no food on the mooneither.Nothing grows—not even weeds.

If the man on the moon liked to climb mountainshe would be very happy. There are many high places theresuch as the raised land around the holesor cratersof the moon.Some of these rims are as tall as Earth’s highest mountains.

But if the man on the moon liked to swimhe would be unhappy.There is no water on the moon—just dust and rock.

When you think of what it’s like on the moonyou 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 Earthastronauts will get a lot of practice in space travel.Things learned on moon trips will be of great help to astronauts who later take longlong 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 clearercloser view of the stars.

31Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

AThe Moon

BThe Man on the Moon

CResearch on the Moon

DWhat Is It Like on the Moon?

32What is the reason why our scientists are interested in the moon?

AThe moon is beautiful.

BThe moon is different from the Earth.

CThe moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to.

DThe moon is the easiest place in space to get to and it has no airunlike Earth.

33Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

AThe climate on the moon is quite different from that on the Earth.

BTraveling between the moon and Earth will do much good to astronauts.

CThere is some food and weeds on the mooneven though there’s no air.

DIf you want to drink hot water on the moonit’s not so hard to boil water.

34The underlined word “rims” in Paragraph 8 means ________.

Aball                  Bhill

Cround edge            Dheight

35What is the main idea of the passage?

AWe can learn much from research on the moon.

BThere may be human beings on the moon.

CIf there were a man on the moonthere would be many similarities between the man on the moon and on the Earth.

DA telescope on the moon would help scientists have a clearercloser sight of the stars.

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 arehoweverquite different ideas about how to teach itor how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability.The problem ishow 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 interestclearly 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 terribleThere are far too many spelling mistakes.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writingbut it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had omitted(略过) to read the compositionwhich contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelin gs.The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakesbut if his priority had concentra ted on the child’s ideasan expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement.

36Teachers differ in their opinions about________.

Athe difficulties in teaching spelling

Bthe role of spelling in general language development

Cthe importance of the basic writing skills

Dthe necessity of teaching spelling

37The underlined expression “play safe” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.

Awrite carefully

Bdo as teachers say

Cuse dictionaries frequently

Davoid using words one is not sure of

38Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that________.

Astudents will be able to express their ideas more freely

Bteachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes

Cstudents will have more trust in writing

Dstudents will lear n to spell words correctly

39The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is________.

Areasonable                Bunfair

Cfoolish                   Dcareless

40The major point discussed in the passage is______.

Athe importance of developing writing skills

Bthe importance of spelling

Cthe correct way of marking composition

Dthe relationship between spelling and the content of a composition

阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。

首先,请阅读下列应用文:

A“Organic produce is always better” Gold said.“The food is free of pesticides(农药)and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms.And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonalso it is more tasty.”Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trendand supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.

BMarket research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferencesbut their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.For examplesmall 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 yearso it is a very fast­growing market”said Sue Flocka specialist in this line of business.

CMany 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 glasspaperplastic and metal containers are producedand these are difficult to get rid of.

DHowevertodaymore and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be sa fe for the environment.Before they buy a productthey ask questions like these“Will this shampoo damage the environment”“Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once

EOnly a few years agoit was impossible to find green products in supermarketsbut 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.

FThe 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 ituse itthrow it awayand forget it.”The public pressure is onand gradually business is cleaning up its act.

                 Recently we co nducted a survey of 2,000 junior and senior students in order to learn more about students’reading habits.We found 37 percent of middle school students read fewer than 5 books per year.With regard to reading materialsit was shown that junior students preferred cartoon magazines and joke books whereas senior students preferred popular novelsclassic works and science fictions.As for why students read so littlesome of the junior students said they had no interest in reading while some of the senior students complained that they had no time to read because they had too much homework to do.

The findings suggest we need to encourage students to do more reading and give students more time for reading after class.

参考范文

          Enjoy Being Alone

The author prefers to spend his or her spare time with friends because he or she thinks friends can offer excitement and fresh ideas to a situation and they can comfort him or her if something bad happens.

   PersonallyI prefer to spend most of my time alone.Friends are important in our growthbut we should not forget the shortcomings of spending too much time with friends.

   Firstpeer 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.Moreovereven real friends may have different preferences.For exampleI like classical musicbut most of my friends love the noisy rock and roll.If we insist on spending our time togetherboth my friends and I would become unhappy.For this reasonI often feel like staying aloneespecially when I want to do some reading.

To sum upit’s good to have real friendsbut we also have something that is for us to do alone.
