Short and shy, Ben Saunders 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.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.
The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man’s cold-water exploits(成就).Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.
Journeys to the 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 are 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 closer encounter(遭遇) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.
Saunders has since 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.
This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1,800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.
56. The turning point in Saunders’ life came when _____
A. he started to play ball games B. he got a mountain bike at age 15
C. he ran his first marathon at age 18 D. he started to receive Ridgway’s training
57. We can learn from the text that Ridgway _______.
A. dismissed Saunders’ dream as fantasy B. built up his body together with Saunders
C. hired Saunders for his cold-water experience
D.won his fame for his voyage across the Atlantic
58. What do we know about Saunders?
A. He once worked at a school in Scotland.
B. He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.
C. He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.
D. He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.
59. The underlined word “Intrigued” in the third paragraph probably means_____.
A. Excited B. Convinced C. Delighted D. Fascinated
60. It can be inferred that Saunders’ journey to the North Pole ______.
A. was accompanied by his old playmates B. set a record in the North Pole expedition
C. was supported by other Arctic explorers D. made him well-known in the 1960s

Connecting with Patients
Dr. Paris often treats several generations of a family over many years. “He’s seen us through two births, one operation, multiple earaches, a broken wrist and a recovery from a serious traffic crash,” says Jill Farrow, a 43-year-old lawyer whose first visit to Dr. Paris was as a teenager. During the birth of her younger son, Farrow began bleeding badly. Dr. Paris managed to solve the problem in a delicate procedure. “Twenty years ago, she probably would have died,” he says. Today, when he performs school sports physical examinations for the Farrow boys, 10 and 11, he is always reminded that lives are changed forever by doctors just doing their jobs.
To be a mix of country doc and somewhat adventurer, the 55-year-old family physician moved to Hailey after completing his residency（医生实习期）. He hoped to practice medicine there and ski at nearby Sun Valley. Unfortunately, the only job opening was for an emergency-room doctor in Missoula, Montana, 300 miles away. Dr. Paris took it. "I'd ski all day and then drive all night to be in Missoula for a 48-hour shift," he recalls. "I'm lucky to be alive." Knowing he couldn't keep up with his eight-hour commute（通勤）, he began taking flying lessons.
In 1981, Dr. Paris joined a small medical practice in Hailey, a former mining town with a population at the time of 2,109. As Hailey grew in the shadow of Sun Valley's booming popularity, Dr. Paris's own practice expanded to seven physicians, including his wife, Kathryn Woods, who is also a family doctor. They met in 1986 at a certification exam in Denver when, in a room full of men in stodgy suits, Woods arrived wearing a Lycra biking outfit and carrying the front wheel of her bicycle (which she couldn't lock up outside). Dr. Paris asked her out on the spot. In 1989, they married.
What Jill Farrow says is to indicate ________.
A. how weak the bodies of her family
B. how hard it is to be a doctor
C. how brilliant the physician’s skill is
D. how easy it is to deal with such problems
Dr. Paris often reminds himself that ________.
A. lives of people should not always stay the same
B. people can rely on themselves to change their life
C. doctors should change their own life
D. it is the duty of a doctor to heal the patients
Why did Dr. Paris move to Hailey?
A. Because he can be a doctor and an adventurer there.
B. Because he has to finish his residency there.
C. Because his children are fond of skiing at nearby Sun Valley.
D. Because he has to be an emergency-room doctor there.
We can infer the doctor got married probably at the age of ________.
A. 27. B. 37. C. 17. D. 47.
This passage is intended to ________.
A. introduce Dr. Paris
B. praise the doctor’s excellent medical art
C. describe the doctor’s adventurous experience
D. tell the doctor’s love affairs

科目：高中英语 来源：2012-2013学年四川省成都高新区高三9月统一检测英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
Most people believe they don't have imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us，once we became adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve，a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First，think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image，word，idea or object，for example，a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles：light，fire，matches, wax，night，silence，etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.
Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money，etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If，for example，your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December，or every Monday in January.
Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators use this technique in business，and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can't she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself “in their shoes”. The best fishermen think like fish!
1.According to the passage, when we become adults, _________ .
|
A．most of us are no longer creative |
B．we can still learn to be more creative |
|
C．we are not as imaginative as children |
D．we are unwilling to be creative |
2.The second technique suggests that you just imagine
|
A．setting a goal is as simple as skiing |
|
B．new possibilities will soon appear |
|
C．December and January are the best months for skiing. |
|
D．you have every resource to achieve your goal |
3.The phrase “put yourself in their shoes” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______ .
|
A．dress yourself like them |
B．think as they would |
|
C．do as they ask you to |
D．put on their shoes |
4.We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself “ _________ ?”.
|
A．what do I usually do |
B．what did my boss tell me to do |
|
C．what are my customers' needs |
D．how should I sell my products |
