Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

Special Olympics is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) an international nonprofit organization devoted to allowing individuals with intellectual disabilities to become physically fit，productive and respected members of society through sports training and competition.Special Olympics offer children and adults with intellectual disabilities year round training and competition in 30 Olympic type summer and winter sports.[Special Olympics is recognized as a tax exempt (免除) organization under U．S.Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3)．]
The Special Oly ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mpics story began in 1963 when Eunice Kennedy Shriver started a summer camp for people with learning disabilities in Maryland.The camp was set up to explore the capabilities of these people in a variety of sports and physical activities.Five years later Shriver Kennedy's Foundation planned and underwrote(负担费用) the First International Special Olympics Summer Games in Chicago.100,000 athletes with learning disabilities from 26 American states and Canada competed in athletics，floor hockey and aquatics.The Games grew in size but continued to have their North American home.In 1995 the founders were approached(请求)about the possibility of staging the event outside the United States.Later that year the board of Special Olympics International decided on an open bidding process for the Games.
Special Olympics pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )esently serve 2.5 million people with intellectual disabilities in more than 200 Programs in over 180 countries.
Today，Special Olympic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s stand as a leader in the field of intellectual disability.It is a truly global movement，with more than 500,000 athletes in China，more than 210,000 in India，almost 550,000 in the United States，more than 600 in Afghanistan and 4,400 athletes in Rwanda.Special Olympics World Games were held in Ireland in 2003，in Japan in 2005 and in China in 2007.Most importantly，Special Olympics sharpened the focus on its mission as not just“nice”，but critical，not just as a sports organization for people with intellectual disabilities，but also as an effective means for social change.
Children and a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dults with intellectual disabilities who participate in Special Olympics develop improved physical fitness and motor skills，greater self confidence and a more positive self image.They grow mentally，socially and spiritually and，through their activities，exhibit boundless courage and enthusiasm，enjoy the rewards of friendship and ultimately discover not only new abilities and talents but“their voices”as well.

B
My family and I li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ved across the street from Southway Park since I was four years old.Then just last year they put a chain link fence around the park and started bulldozing(用推土机推平)the trees and grass to make way for a new apartment complex.When I saw the fence and bulldozers，I asked myself，“Why don't they just leave it alone？”
Looking back，I thin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k what sentenced the part to oblivion(被遗忘) was the drought (旱灾) we had about four years ago.Up until then，Southway Park was a nice green park with plenty of trees and a public swimming pool.My friends and I roller skated on the sidewalks，climbed the trees，and swam in the pool all the years I was growing up.The park was almost like my own yard.Then the summer I was fifteen the drought came and things changed.
There had been almos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t no rain at all that year.The city stopped watering the park grass.Within a few weeks I found myself living across the street from a huge brown desert.Leaves fell off the park trees，and pretty soon the trees started dying，too.Next，the park swimming pool was closed.The city cut down on the work force that kept the park，and pretty soon it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore.
As the drought la ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sted into the fall，the park got worse every month.The rubbish piled up or blew across the brown grass.Soon the only people in the park were beggars and other people down on their luck.People said drugs were being sold or traded there now.The park had gotten scary，and my mother told us kids not to go there anymore.
The drought finall ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y ended and things seemed to get back to normal，that is，everything but the park.It had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way.Then about six months ago I heard that the city was going to“redevelop”certain worn out areas of the city.It turned out that the city had planned to get rid of the park，sell the land and let someone build rows of apartment buildings on it.
The chain link fenc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing and the bulldozers did their work.Now we live across the street from six rows of apartment buildings.Each of them is three units high and stretches a block in each direction.The neighborhood has changed without the park.The streets I used to play in are jammed with cars now.Things will never be the same again.Sometimes I wonder，though，what changes another drought would make in the way things are today.
40．How did the writer feel when he saw the fence and bulldozers
A．Scared. B．Confused.
C．Upset. D．Curious.
41．Why was the writer told not to go to the park by his mother
A．It was being rebuilt.
B．It was dangerous.
C．It was crowded.
D．It had turned into a desert.
42．According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the writer, what eventually brought about the disappearance of the park 21cnjy.com
A．The drought.
B．The crime.
C．The beggars and the rubbish.
D．The decisions of the city.
43．The last s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )entence of the passage implies that if another drought came，________.21·cn·jy·com
A．the situation would be much worse
B．people would have to desert their homes
C．the city would be fully prepared in advance
D．the city would have to redevelop the neighborhood【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】

The Cost of Higher Education
Individuals(个人) should pay for their higher education.
A university educa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more than non graduates.Meanwhile，social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree.However，only some people have it.So the individual，not the taxpayers，should pay for it.There are pressing calls on the resources(资源) of the government. Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.
Full government fun ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ding(资助) is not very good for universities.Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees.He knew and looked down upon 18th century Oxford，where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries，Smith argued，were the enemy of hard work；and when the academics were lazy and incompetent，the students were similarly lazy.
If students ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have to pay for their education，they not only work harder，but also demand more from their teachers.And their teachers have to keep them satisfied.If that means taking teaching seriously，and giving less time to their own research interests，that is surely something to celebrate.
Many people belie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy(经济)．Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth，but so do all the businesses that invest(投资) and create jobs.If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive，you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs and anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest.Therefore，it is the individual，not the government，who should pay for their university education.
48．The underlined word“them”in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A．taxpayers
B．pressing calls
C．college graduates
D．government resources
49．The author thinks that with full government funding ________.
A．teachers are less satisfied
B．students are more demanding
C．students will become more competent
D．teachers will spend less time on teaching
50．The autho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to ________.
A．argue against free university education
B．call on them to finance students' studies
C．encourage graduates to go into business
D．show their contribution to higher education
Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
Mountain climbing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) as a form of recreation began in Europe in about 1880.In 1857，a group of mountaineers founded the Alpine Club in London.The club was the first to promote mountain climbing as an organized sport.The most famous climb in mountaineering history took place in 1953.In that year Sir.Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay of Nepal reached the top of Mount Everest，the world's highest mountain.www.21-cn-jy.com
There are three ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )basic forms of mountain climbing：(1) rock climbing，(2) snow and ice climbing，and (3)mixed climbing.Each has its own special equipment and techniques.【出处：21教育名师】
Rock climbing mea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns climbing up the rock cliffs and mountains.Rock climbing is popular with beginning climbers，who generally practise on nearby cliffs that are not too difficult.Rock climbers must learn the proper use of basic equipment，including ropes and such specialized devices as pitons(岩钉)，snap links(扣)，and chocks (防滑楔子)．
Snow and ice ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )climbing include climbing in winter on glaciers(冰河)，in ice gullies(峡谷)，or on slopes(斜坡)covered with snow and ice.Beginners must learn to use crampons(钉鞋)，which serve the purpose of gripping(抓紧)ice or hard snow.Climbers should also understand what happens to ice and snow under various conditions.
Mixed climbing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )combines elements of rock climbing and snow and ice climbing.Mountaineers must face rough rocky land as well as snow and ice and risky slopes.As a result，mixed climbing requires the most experience.Certain routes on Mount Mckinley in Alaska and Mount Rainer in Washington are examples of mixed climbing.

“I grew up on mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nkey bars，and I never forget how good it felt to get to the top of them with other children，”Mr.Stern said.“I don't want to see the playground without them.”21教育网
His philosop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hy is shared by some researchers who question the value of safety first playgrounds.Even if children do suffer fewer physical injuries，researchers say that these playgrounds may prevent emotional development，leaving children with anxieties and fears that are worse than a broken bone.21cnjy.com
“Children need ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to meet risks and overcome fears on the playground，”said Ellen Sandseter，a professor of psychology at Queen Maud University in Norway.“I think monkey bars and tall slides are great.As playgrounds become more and more boring，these are some of the few facilities that still can give children exciting experiences with heights and high speed.”www-2-1-cnjy-com
“Climbing equip ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ment needs to be high enough，or else it will be too boring in the long run，”Dr.Sandseter said.“Children approach thrills and risks in a progressive (渐进的) manner，and very few children would try to climb to the highest point when they climb for the first time.The best thing is to let children meet these challenges from an early age，and they will then progressively learn to master them through their play over the years.”【出处：21教育名师】
Falls are the com ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mon form of playground injury.But these rarely cause long lasting damage，either physically or emotionally.While some psychologists and many parents have worried that a child who suffers a bad fall would develop a fear of heights，studies have shown the opposite pattern: a child who's hurt in a fall before the age of 9 less likely becomes a teenager who has a fear of heights.
1．What's the point of this passage
A．Can children easily get hurt on the playground
B．Do children need to be overprotected at school
C．Should children keep away from the playground
D．Should a playground be too safe for children
2．The underlined word“them”in Paragraph 1 refers to“________”．
A．other children B．monkey bars
C．playgrounds D．parents
3．Which of the follo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wing statements about safety first playgrounds may Ellen Sandseter agree to
A．They are never too safe.
B．They make children safe and happy.
C．They cannot prevent physical injuries.
D．They may prevent the emotional development of children.
4．According to P ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aragraph 4，by climbing high equipment，children will learn ________.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
A．the value of safety
B．how to reduce injuries
C．how to deal with challenges
D．how to work well with others
5．The writer would probably agree that ________.
A．safety first play ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )grounds are better for the emotional development of children
B．children who have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )suffered a bad fall may be less likely to develop a fear of heights21·cn·jy·com
C．children usu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ally try to climb to the highest point when they climb monkey bars for the first time2-1-c-n-j-y
D．a teenager ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )'s fear of heights often results from a fall from monkey bars before nine years old 21*cnjy*com

Why play games？Beca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )use they are fun，and a lot more besides.Following the rules，planning your next move，acting as a team member...these are all“game”ideas that you will come across throughout your life.21·cn·jy·com
Think about so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me of the games you played as a young child，such as rope jumping and hide and seek.Such games are entertaining and fun.But perhaps more importantly，they_translate_life_into_exciting_dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives，such as taking turns and cooperating(合作)．21·世纪*教育网
Many childre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n's games have a practical side.Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown ups.For instance，some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones，which sharpens the hand eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting.
Many sports ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )encourage national or local pride.The most famous games of all，the Olympic Games，bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition.People who watch the event wave flags，knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country，not just the athlete who earned it.For countries experiencing natural disasters or war，an Olympic win can mean so much.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Sports are also an eve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt that unites people.Soccer is the most popular sport in the world.People on all continents play it－some for fun and some for a living.Nicolette Iribarne，a Californian soccer player，has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer.He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.

Ⅳ.任务型阅读
Whenever we meet with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )difficulty or failure，teachers，parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves，“Never give up.”These can be encouraging words and words of determination.A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails.In my opinion，the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have.Therefore，I believe that we should never give up.21世纪教育网版权所有
One reason is that if ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) we give up too easily，we will rarely achieve anything.It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new，so we should not feel disappointed and should try again.Besides，if we always give up when we fail，we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Another reason we sho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones.If we do not try again，the lesson we have learned is wasted.
Finally，we should nev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er give up because as we work to reach our goals，we develop confidence，and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives.If we never challenge ourselves，we will begin to doubt our abilities.
In short，it is imp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ortant that we do not give up when working for our goals.Whether we succeed in the end or not，we will learn something，and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident.Furthermore，if we give up，we have no chance of attaining our goals any more，but if we keep making great efforts，there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.
Topic：Never Give Up
Possible meanings and the author's opinions ▲The words“Never g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ive up”can 1.________ others or oneself and express one's determination.▲A person who wants to 2.________ should have the quality.So we should never give up.
The 3.______ ▲If we give up too easil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y，maybe we will achieve 4.________，so when we fail in our first attempt at something new，we should not 5.________ ourselves but try again.▲Always giving up mea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns that we will not be able to 6.________ any progress.▲Never giving up will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) make us learn from the mistakes we've made before and learn the 7.________ so as not to make the same mistakes.▲To reach our goals and develop the confidence which can help us 8.____ ourselves，we must not give up but challenge ourselves.

Bill's wife insist ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed that he go to Paris.But after much soul searching，Bill decided to stay at home，where he could support his wife when the child arrived.As it turned out，the United States four man canoe team won the gold medal in Paris.And Bill's wife was late in giving birth to their child.In fact，Bill could have competed in the event and returned home in time to be with her when she gave birth.People said，“What a shame！”
The child finally born ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to Bill and his wife was a boy，whom they named Frank.Twenty eight years later，in 1952，Bill received a telegram from Frank.It was sent from Helsinki，Finland，where the 1952 Olympics were being held.The telegram read，“Dad，I won.I'm bringing home the gold medal you lost while waiting for me to be born.”Frank had just won the gold medal for the United States in a rowing event，a medal his father had dreamed of winning but never did.When people asked Bill about his decision he made twenty eight years ago，he said he would make the same choice if he was in such a situation again.

Short and shy，Ben Saun ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team.“Football，tennis，cricket anything with a round ball，I was useless，”he says now with a laugh.But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England's rural Devonshire.21世纪教育网版权所有
It was a mountain bik ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e he received for his 15th birthday that changed him.At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest.Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend.Gradually，Saunders set his mind on building up his body，increasing his speed，strength and endurance.At age 18，he ran his first marathon.

Journeys to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Pole aren't the usual holidays for British country boys，and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy.“John Ridgway was one of the few who didn't say，‘You're completely crazy，’”Saunders says.In 2001，after becoming a skilled skier，Saunders started his first long distance expedition toward the North Pole.He suffered frostbite，had a close encounter(遭遇)with a polar bear.
Saunders has sinc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole，and he's skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton.His old playmates would not believe the transformation.www-2-1-cnjy-com
