Marco Polo wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s 17 years old when he set out (出发) on the most famous journey in history. In 1271 he left Italy with his father and his uncle, and he spent more than three years crossing the Middle East and Asia. He wanted to reach the court(宫廷) of China's powerful Mongolian ruler, Kublai Khan(可汗).
Marco ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arrived in China in 1275. The Khan liked him at once, and Marco became an important government official(官员). He traveled all over the country and brought back information for the Khan.
It was 24 y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ears before Marco returned to his home in Venice. When he finally arrived there, his family and friends were surprised to see him again, because everyone thought that he had died many years before.
At first, p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eople did not pay much attention to the stories Marco told. Then, When Venice went to war with Genoa, Marco joined the army. He was caught by the enemy, and put into prison. While he was there, he told his stories to his fellow prisoners to pass the time. One of the prisoners was a writer called Rustic Hello, and he wrote down Marco's adventures(冒险) in a book. This book is called “The Travels of Marco Polo”, and it is still famous today.
Marco did no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t make any more journeys after his book was published, but he dreamed that one day he would return to China. Almost seven centuries later his dream came true. In the 1980's, the historical film “Marco Polo”, made by a Sino-Italian team, brought Marco Polo to meet Chinese audiences(观众).
53. When did Marco Polo arrive in China
A. When he was seventeen B. In 1271
C. In 1275 D. After he left Italy
54. How long did Marco Polo stay in China

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure and those who have climbed unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who seek(寻找) a risky activity, which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.
Bungee jum ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ping is a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place 200 meters above the ground with an elastic(有弹力的) rope tied to your feet. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is reported that two million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping.
Why do peop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le take part in such activities like this Some psychologists(心理学家) suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. In ancient times, people had to face danger and difficulties. They had to go out and hunt for food. Diseases could not easily be cured, and there was a continuous battle for survival(生存).
Nowadays, ac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cording to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe environments; they buy food in shops; there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. It is necessary for some of these people to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
58. Why do people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) tie their feet with an elastic rope in bungee jumping
A. Because it's more exciting.
B. Because it's interesting.
C. Because it can protect people.
D. Because it's very high.
59. How many people have tried bungee jumping
A. More than 150. B. About 200.
C. Few people. D. 2,000,000.
60. In paragraph 2, what does the underlined sentence mean
A. Bungee jumping is a very popular activity.
B. Bungee jumping ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is a dangerous activity that only lasts a few seconds.
C. Bungee jumping is an activity that many people like very much.
D. Bungee jumping is an activity that is similar to sailing.
61. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. People in ancient times could be looked after well.
B. People in ancient times had to hunt for food.
C. Today people's life is safe.
D. Some people think that life today is boring.
62. What is the best topic(题目) of the passage
A. How to Keep Fit B. Sports and Health
C. Sports Activities in History D. Dangerous Sports Activities

I am 22. I used to work in a hotel. It was boring.
One day a g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uest and I had a conversation. She asked me, "Do you like your job " I was sad because I knew the answer, "No."
She wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s 74 and gave me the most beautiful advice that I remember in all my life, "You are too young to hate your job, young man. Go to get your passport and start your adventure(冒险)."
So I did.
Since ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I was a little kid I was dreaming to know Europe. So next day I had my passport. And one week later, my plane tickets.
It was imposs ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ible to have a long holiday. So I resigned(辞职). My boss said I was crazy. My friends said that I was not responsible. I just paid no attention to those voices.
It was Europe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in winter. Not the best time to travel there. But Europe in winter is really cheap.

I had ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )little money. I just walked and walked. I went to high mountains and big cities, saw some beautiful sunsets(日落). I heard some of the best musicians (for free). I discovered that there was still love in the world. I realized that sunrises are not always blue or yellow. Sometimes they mix.
I spent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )22 days and $1,500 (including the plane tickets). What I did to save money:
● Used CouchSurfing(沙发客).
● Ate 20-cents bread.
● Went to Burger King to get free potato chips and water.
● Learned to cook.
● Talked with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) local(当地的) people. They always know where to do cool and cheap.
● Only went to free museums (only in England).
Until this ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )point in my life, I never had a clear idea of how to deal with my life. Now I do. I want to be a photographer so that I can inspire(激励) people with my pictures.
Thanks to this travel. Thanks to that lady.

There have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )been many great inventions or things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was the one that is still very important today—the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distance.
For hundr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn't have to explore much anymore. They began to work instead to make life better.
In the sec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ond half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all play a big part in our daily life today.
The first p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )art of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wore.
The ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and allowed them to live longer. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.
By this t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ime most people in developed countries had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire(渴望) to explore again. The earth was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their own steps into space.
In 1 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This was certainly just a beginning, though. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.
68. This passage talks mainly about .
A. why cars were very important
B. when light was invented
C. how inventions affect people's daily life
D. which country made the first step into space
69. According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the passage man didn't have a desire to explore a lot .
A. at the beginning of 1800s B. in the 1960s
C. since the 1900s D. from the 1800s to 1960s
70. In the 1800s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), people began to work in order to make .
A. explorations B. their life better
C. discoveries D. a trip to space
71. Nylon came out five years later than .
A. radios B. cameras C. jet planes D. movies
72. People can li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve longer lives because that help cure diseases have worked very well.
A. doctors B. new ways C. medicines D. new hospitals
六、阅读与表达(问答式)（共5小题；共10分）
Are y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou the kind of person who likes staying in unusual places If the answer is “yes”, then try the world's coldest hotel in Jukkasjarvi in the north of Sweden. But go in winter or all you'll find is a pool of water, because the hotel melts every spring!
The man ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) who runs the ARTic Hall Hotel is Nils Yngve Bergqvist. He is also the man whose idea it was. He built his first hotel for an art show in 1991 and he designed the present hotel---over 200 metres square---himself. It took workmen about two months to put 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden board. As the weather got colder, the snow froze and then they removed the board. The whole building and everything in it is made of snow - except for the wooden front door. There's a theatre, a jazz club, a radio station and a large ice bar. As you can imagine, hot drinks are popular with the guests! The rooms have no doors, there is no furniture, no heating and everyone sleeps on…yes, that's right…ice beds. But the 800 people who have stayed at the hotel this winter seem to like it. If you want to stay in one of the ice rooms, it will cost you about ￡30 a night. You won't be very comfortable, but you will receive a survival certificate (生存能力证书) from the manager!
When the winte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r is over, Nils holds his competition every year to predict the day that the hotel will fall. The person that guessed the day correctly last year received a large painting from an ARTic Hall show. Bergqvist's ice hotels are becoming world-famous and he loves his work. He's already excited about his next project---an ice hotel that will be bigger and better, he says.
