Climbing, I once thought, was a very manly activity, but as I found my way into this activity, I came to see that something quite different happens on the rock.
Like wild swimming, rock climbing involves you into the landscape. On the rock, I am fully focused. Eyes pay close attention, ears are alert, and hands move across the surface. Unlike walking, where I could happily wander about absent-mindedly, in climbing, attentive observation is essential.
As an arts student studying English literature, I discovered a new type of reading from outdoor climbing. Going out on to the crags (悬崖), I saw how you could learn to read the rocks and develop a vocabulary of physical movements. Good climbers knew how to adjust their bodies on to the stone. Watching them, I wanted to possess that skillful “language”.
My progress happened when I worked for the Caingorms National Park Authority. Guiding my explorations into this strange new landscape was Nan Shepherd, a lady too. Unlike the goal-directed mindset of many mountaineers, she is not concerned with peaks or personal achievement. Shepherd sees the mountain as a total environment and she celebrates the Caingorms as a place alive with plants, rocks, animals and elements. Through her generous spirit and my own curiosity, I saw that rock climbing need not be a process of testing oneself against anything. Rather, the intensity of focus could develop a person into another way of being.
Spending so much time in high and stony places has transformed my view on the world and our place in it. I have come into physical contact with processes that go way beyond the everyday. Working with gravity, geology (地质学), rhythms of weather and deep time, I gain an actual relationship with the earth. This bond lies at the heart of my passion for rock climbing. I return to the rocks, because this is where I feel in contact with our land.
14.Why does the author like rock climbing
A.It challenges her to compete with men. B.It allows her a unique attitude toward rock.
C.It teaches her how to possess a new language. D.It makes her feel connected wth the earth.
15.What does the writer find important in climbing
A.Balance. B.Concentration.
C.Determination. D.Perseverance
16.What does the writer learn from Nan Shepherd
A.Climbing goes together with nature. B.Every mountain top is within reach.
C.The best climber is the one having fun. D.You can not achieve high unless you change.
17.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A.Time. B.Transformation. C.The world. D.My view.
C
A recent study has found that using wood for construction instead of concrete and steel can reduce emissions. But Tim Searchinger at Princeton University says many of these studies are based on the false foundation that harvesting wood is carbon neutral (碳中和). “Only a small percentage of the wood gets into a timber (木料) product, and a part of that gets into a timber product that can replace concrete and steel in a building,” he says. Efficiencies vary in different countries, but large amounts of a harvested tree are left to be divided into parts, used in short-lived products like paper or burned for energy, all of which generate emissions.
In a report for the World Resources Institute, Searchinger and his colleagues have modelled how using more wood for construction would affect emissions between 2010 and 2050, accounting for the emissions from harvesting the wood. They considered various types of forests and parts of wood going towards construction. They also factored in the emissions savings from replacing concrete and steel.
Under some circumstances, the researchers found significant emissions reductions. But each case required what they considered an unrealistically high portion of the wood going towards construction, as well as rapid growth only seen in warmer places, like Brazil. In general, they found a large increase in global demand for wood would probably lead to rising emissions for decades. Accounting for emissions in this way, the researchers reported in a related paper that increasing forest harvests between 2010 and 2050 would add emissions equal to roughly 10 percent of total annual emissions.
Ali Amiri at Aalto University in Finland says the report’s conclusions about emissions from rising demand are probably correct, but the story is different for wood we already harvest. “Boosting the efficiency of current harvests and using more wood for longer lived purposes than paper would cut emissions,” he says. “We cannot just say we should stop using wood.”
18.What is wrong with previous researches according to Searchinger
A.They got wrong statistics. B.They included too many factors.
C.They used an incorrect concept. D.They were applied in limited countries.
19.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A.The process of the new research. B.The background of the new study.
C.The challenge of the new research. D.The achievements of the new study.
20.When will the emissions drop off greatly according to the new study
A.When wood grows slowly. B.When wood is used to make paper.
C.When wood is used to build a house. D.When wood is harvested in countries like Brazil.
21.What is Ali Amiri’s attitude toward the new result
A.Favorable. B.Doubtful. C.Critical. D.Objective.
D
While scientists have many ideas, they are not certain why humans yawn(打哈欠). Still, there is one thing experts know—yawns seem to be contagious(传染)!
Have you ever caught a yawn from someone else Most people have. In fact, a person is six times more likely to yawn after seeing someone else do so. Experts have done many studies into why yawns seem to pass from person to person. As a result, they have a few theories(理论) for the reason behind it.
One possible explanation has something to do with social mirroring, which is caused by mirror neurons(镜像神经元) in the brain. These mirror neurons help the brain notice useful behavior of others and then copy it. When one person sees another yawn, his mirror neurons observe the action and consider it to be beneficial. That may cause him to yawn, too.
Another popular theory is that yawns are contagious because of social relationships. Being social creatures, humans form friendships, families and live together in groups. That’s why many people mirror others, such as smiling when another person smiles. Yawning may be just another example of this. In fact, research has shown that one is most likely to catch yawns from another person if the two share a social relationship.
The answer could even be that yawns aren’t truly contagious at all. Instead, people yawn together simply because they’re in the same environment. Experts say many things may cause yawning, including temperature and time of day. Whatever the explanation is, experts do know that contagious yawns aren’t limited to humans. One study found that lions in South Africa also caught each other’s yawns.
22.What kind of behavior may be copied by mirror neurons
A.Important and attractive. B.Useful and beneficial.
C.Hard to understand. D.Easy to copy.
23.Whose yawns are people most likely to catch according to Paragraph 4
A.Those who yawn a lot. B.Those who like smiling.
C.Those closely connected with them. D.Those sharing the same interest with them.
24.What might the author continue talking about in the following paragraph
A.Tips on how to avoid yawning in public.
B.A real explanation for contagious yawning.
C.Other examples of animals yawning together.
D.Things that may cause yawning among humans.
25.Which of the following serves as the best title
A.Why yawns are contagious B.What causes people to yawn
C.Who yawns more than others D.Why humans yawn now and then

Choosing the Right Career
You will be leaving this school and the unavoidable question many people will ask you is, “ 26 ” Some of you may have already decided on a career path, but many of you still don’t have a clue! Here are some things you might want to consider.
First, does the career you are considering have staying power 27 Rapid technological change is disruptive(扰乱性的), and we need to be forward-looking at our future prospects. While many occupations are being taken over by new technology, jobs that require high-level of critical thinking, emotional intelligence and human interaction, remain in high demand. These jobs are not easily replaced by machines or technology. So think carefully about this before you choose your professional path.
Second, choose a career that interests you. Some people might think this is unimportant, but if you are truly passionate about your job then going to work every day won’t seem a chore. 28
Before making a choice, you should examine your values, skills and personality type. This can help you decide if a career path is a good fit for you.
Third, of course you will want to consider your chosen profession’s earning power. Although high pay plays a part, you should know that a job with a big salary will likely require more time to get to the top, much more effort and a higher level of stress. 29 If you have interests outside of work, or are struggling with other demands in your life, you might want to choose a less demanding line of work.
30 Let me leave you with an old saying: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
A.You are on the right track.
B.So, what do you want to be
C.Will it be in demand in 20 years’ time
D.It’s also likely that you will stay and grow in this career.
E.They simply want you to be the best of the best to your best ability.
F.Only the truly motivated will likely to be able to meet these challenges.
G．Thinking about a life-long career at this stage in your life is surely disturbing.

Superman Learns How to Ride
It was the summer of 1967, and the moment was nearing when I would cast off my training wheels and learn to ride a bike.
As an adventurous little boy, I sure put my overactive imagination to good use. I would pretend to be the bookish reporter, Clark Kent. Then, at the first sign of something wrong, I disappeared and emerged moments later with a red towel hanging from the collar of my dirty blue T-shirt and an ironed-on letter “S” on my chest.
“This is a job for Superman!” I would cry out as I flew to meet imaginary dangers that threatened the world.
“Hey, Superman, when are you going to learn to ride a bike ” the neighborhood kids would taunt as they rolled past. “The Man of Steel still uses training wheels!” they laughed.
As I watched them ride away, I realized I was being left behind. To claim my place among their ranks, I needed to cast off my training wheels and learn to ride with the big kids. I turned to my father for help.
“Okay, I’m going to let go, and you just remember to balance,” Dad advised patiently on my tenth try. Suddenly I was riding! I dared to smile as my father’s shouts of encouragement faded into the background. My smile widened. Victory was mine.
You are going to fall. The thought was at first a whisper and then grew louder and more convincing until I believed it must be true. After all, I had always fallen before. Why should this time be any different Fear seized me, and my confidence weakened and I couldn’t grasp the handlebars tightly. Sure enough, I fell to the grass.
“You almost had it,” Dad said, catching his breath. “You are seized with a sense of fear so you fell.”
“I quit,” I said angrily, trying to fight back the tears of frustration. “I don’t want to learn to ride.”

【答案】
Dear Tom,
I’m glad to hear that you’ve developed an interest in learning to write Chinese characters after watching The Chinese Characters Dictation Competition. It is true that Chinese characters are difficult to write, especially for foreigners, but don’t worry. I’d like to offer you some practical suggestions.
First of all, as proper guidance can help you learn more easily, it’s a good idea to learn some basic writing skills either from a Chinese teacher or from teaching videos on the Internet. Furthermore, I strongly suggest you use copybooks as we Chinese do at our beginning stages. What’s more, practice with patience and you will make progress in time.
I hope my advice will be of some help to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
八．读后续写
【答案】One possible version:
However, on thinking of Superman, I decided to behave like a real hero. Holding back tears, I asked my dad to tell me the reason why I fell. I observed my dad and other kids’ performance of riding bikes and kept every movement in mind. But most importantly, I must overcome the sense of fright when riding, so I read more stories of Superman and gradually knew that bravery could be learned through constant practice. On a sunny day, having much practice and enough courage, I begged my dad to accompany me to have a try.
I gripped the handlebars with strong determination. I took a deep breath and began to pedal. With my Superman cape flapping, I rounded the front of our house at full speed. “Look, Dad! I’m riding!” I shouted. He smiled and waved as I took a turn up the dirt road. Superman had beaten an enemy called “fear” and once again the world was as a safer, happier place.
