A

There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me.I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven years old,just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage(孤儿院) turned me into an old man.

I would get up every morning at the orphanage,make my bed just like the little soldier that I had become and then I would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.

After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the bushes scattered around the orphanage.

I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures,one after another,and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings,pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.

How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty.I had walked many times out into the bushes,all by myself,just so the butterflies could land on my head,face and hands so I could look at them up close.

When the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back cement(水泥)step and went inside to answer the phone.I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the one butterfly who he had just pinned to the large paper.It was still moving about so I reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out.It started flying around and around trying to get away but it was still pinned by the one wing with the other straight pin.Finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just trembled.

I picked up the torn wing and the butterfly and I spat on its wing and tried to get it to stick back on so it could fly away and be free before the house parent came back.But it would not stay on him.

Do you want to see the effects of global warming?Then head north.Will Steger is going to take all of us there.

Steger,64,the first person to make a dogsled trip to the North Pole,is a very famous and admired polar explorer.He’s at home in frozen parts of the world where few humans ever step on.Steger is also a devoted environmentalist who was early to ring the alarm bell on global warming.He saw its effects firsthand in frequent polar expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica.

Now Steger is about to lead a team of six young adventurers on a 1,400-mile,60-day-long dogsled trip across Ellesmere Island,in the Canadian Arctic.The sea ice in that region should still be frozen.“We want to take our audience to the front lines of global warming,” says Steger.The team will be uploading videos,stories and photos to the website global warming 101.com as they march along,allowing armchair adventurers and kids in classrooms to follow their progress day to day.“We can actually bring the audience up there,” Steger says.

Steger’s team will include some already-famous young explorers.Sam Branson,the 22-year-old son of British airline tycoon (大亨) Richard Branson,is an experienced Arctic traveler.Also on the journey will be 27-year-old Norwegian Sigarid Ekran.Last year,Ekran became only the second woman in history to win Rookie (新秀) of the Year for the Iditarod Sled Dog Race.

What they will see may be very surprising.Even Steger doesn’t know exactly what to expect.Climate change has already reshaped the geography of the Arctic.“Within a decade or less,it’s going to be impossible to reach the North Pole by dog team without flotation (漂浮),”says Steger.

Climate change is happening,but people can change too.Their willingness to change will determine the shape of the Earth’s future.

It’s a nightmare for Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST): within a week,two students committed suicide by jumping off dorm buildings.

Officials from the university are reluctant to give interviews.

“We had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides,” said Zhang Jingyuan,one official of HUST.

“Media coverage may arouse some students’ negative emotions again.Suicide can be contagious,” Zhang said.

The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23.

Advisors and class leaders conducted dorm-to-dorm checks to find students suffering depression.Then psychologists offered one-on-one counseling to them.

Notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers’ mental problems and offering help were set up in front of dorm buildings.Leaflets carrying similar information were handed out to each dorm.

However,the second suicide came seven days later.

Both students were described as men of few words.Their schoolmates didn’t see anything to indicate suicide.

Zhang revealed that the two students had been bothered by mental disorders.But the school didn’t know this until the students’ close friends outside school and their parents unveiled the truth after the suicides.

According to Zhang,there are only three full-time counselors working in the university’s counseling center for its 60,000 students.He complained: “It’s unrealistic to rely only on counselors to detect students’ mental problems.”

Effective prevention comes from long-term education for life instead of temporary intervention to meet an emergency,said Hu Yi’an.Hu delivers a course of lectures on life and death at Guangzhou University.He worries that universities have paid little attention to education for life.

“Education for life helps students respect and love life so they won’t resort to ending their lives when they have difficulties,” said Hu.

According to Hu,the principles can be incorporated into everyday teaching.

Hu is also concerned that some universities are conveying discriminatory message that will hold back students from seeking help.

When HUST conducted the dorm-to-dorm examination,students with poor academic performance were paid special attention.In March,Peking University also released a controversial policy,which required teachers to have a chat with students “with biased thinking”.

However,Hu suggested that students step out of their comfort zone to seek real-life communication.

66.The underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably means “        ”.

A.willing     B.unhappy      C.refused     D.decided

67.Why did the advisors and class leader go to the students’ dorm?

A.To learn the first suicide.

B.To avoid the second suicide

C.To learn about the students’ suffering depression

D.To offer help to the students

68.Which measure the university took to the first suicide is correct?

A.Conducting checks to find out the students’ depression.

B.Offering counseling to the students.

C.Setting up notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers’ mental problems and offering help.

D.Handing out leaflets to each student.

69.Which of the following is right according to the text?

A.Officials of HUST were willing to give the details about the suicide.

B.HUST didn’t respond to the first suicide.

C.What the university about the suicide was a success.

D.Their close friends and parents did know the students had mental disorder.

70.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.Two students of HUST committed suicide.

B.What can we do to prevent the student’s suicide?

C.The reasons why the students committed suicide.

D.The dangers in the universities in China.

Down on the beach of Dover,56-year-old Channel swimmer Jackie Cobell bravely set off for Calais.The time was 6:40 am.28 hours and 44 minutes later the exhausted,successful mother from Kent crawled (爬行) to the shore and walked proudly into the record books.After five years in training,Mrs.Cobell became the slowest person to cross the Channel under her own steam.The previous record for the slowest crossing,set by Henry Sullivan at 26 hours and 50 minutes,has stood for 87 years before Mrs.Cobell started at Dover Saturday morning.

She had struggled through changing tides that swept her first one way,then the other.It turned the 21-mile crossing into a 65-mile one.She declared,“Time and tide wait for no man—and they certainly didn’t wait for me.I was fully expecting it to get dark before I got to Calais but I never imagined I’d also see the dawn again.But I wasn’t going to give up.”

Her feat(壮举) raised more than $2,000 in charity sponsorship for research into Huntingdon’s disease,a sum that was continuing to grow as news of her achievement spread.That was why she did it.“I don’t really know myself,” she said.“I just kept thinking of all the people I’d be letting down if I stopped.”

Mrs.Cobell took to the water so well at school.But after bringing up two daughters,she started to gain weight.Five years ago she took up swimming again and decided to prepare for the Channel challenge to lose weight.She became much fitter.Then came the big swim.“I practiced on Windermere Lake,” she said.“it’s about half the distance of the Channel so I just doubled it,added some extra time,and worked out I could probably get to Calais in about 16 hours.”

Her husband David,trainer,official observer and friend sailed alongside her on a boat.She said,“I sang to keep myself going.When they told me I was a record breaker I thought they were just having a joke—until I realized it was the record for the slowest crossing.But maybe next time I might be a bit quicker.”

71.Which of the following is right according to the passage?

A.Mrs.Cobell crossed the Channel in order to set a slowest record.

B.Mrs.Cobell raised $2,000 in all.

C.Mrs.Cobell used to swim very well.

D.Mrs.Cobell crossed the Channel in a day.

72.According to Paragraph 1,Mrs.Cobell_____________.

A.started to learn swimming five years ago

B.arrived at Calais on late Sunday morning

C.wanted to break the record for the slowest crossing

D.was too exhausted to move after crossing the Channel

73.Why did Mrs.Cobell spend so much time crossing the Channel?

A.Because the tides changed her direction.

B.Because she was not in good condition.

C.Because she wasn’t good at swimming.

D.Because the winds kept her from swimming fast.

74.Mrs.Cobell crossed the Channel for the main purpose of____________.

A.taking a risk       B.losing more weight

C.raising money for charity     D.becoming famous worldwide

75.How did Mrs.Cobell feel about the record she set?

阅读下面的短文,并根据文章后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet,chat and go where we’ve never been before.But just as in face-to-face communication,there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when online.

The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself,“Would I say this to the person’s face?”If the answer is“no”,rewrite and reread.Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.

If someone in the chat room is rude to you,your instinct(本能反应) is to fire back in the same manner.But try not to do so.You should either ignore that person,or use your chat software to block their messages.If it was caused by disagreement with another member,try to fix the situation by politely discussing it.Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.

If you do decide to tell someone in the chat room about a mistake,point it out politely.At the same time,if you find you are wrong,be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those who you have offended.

It is not polite            such as their age,sex,and marital status.Unless you know the person very well,and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information,don’t ask such questions.
