         Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the
    purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
         In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all-one
    can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for
    all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree; they refuse
    to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such
    countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer
    is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food.
    If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our
    towns.
         In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in
    such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that
    we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work. Only
    such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
    1. The writer of the passage thinks that _____.
    A. education can settle most of the world's problems
    B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
    C. free education won't help to solve problems
    D. all the social problems can't be solved by education
    2. The writer wants to prove that _____.
    A. our society needs all kinds of jobs
    B. our society needs free education for all
    C. a farmer is more important than a professor
    D. work with hands is the most important
    3. The purpose of education is _____.
    A. to choose officials for the country
    B. to prepare children mainly for their future work
    C. to let everyone receive education fit for him
    D. to build a perfect world
    4. The passage tells us about _______ of the education.
    A. the means
    B. the system
    C. the value
    D. the type
    1-4: DABC

    Living an Adventurous Life
    Nearly ten years ago, I was told that I had a brain tumor (瘤), and this experience changed my attitude about adventure forever. I thought that I was going to die and that all my adventures were over. I did not have a brain tumor, it turned out, but rather multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症), which meant that, although they were not over,the nature of my adventures could have to change.
    Each morning that I wake up is a fresh event, something that I might not have
    had. Each gesture that I make carries the weight of uncertainty and demands significant attention: buttoning my shirt, changing a light bulb, walking down stairs. I might not be able to do it this time. If I could not delight in them, they would likely drown me in anger and in self-pity.
    I admire the grand adventures of others. I read about them with interest. With Peter Matthiessen I have hiked across the Himalayas to the Crystal Mountain. I have walked with Annie Dillard up, down, into, and across Tinker Creek in all Seasons. David Bain has gone with me along 110 miles of Philippine coast, and Ed Abbey has
    rowed me down the Colorado River, I enjoy the adventures of these courageous figures, who can strike out on difficult trips - 2 miles, 250 miles, 3000 miles - ready to bear cold and tiredness - indeed not just to bear but to celebrate.
    But as for me, I can no longer walk very far from the armchair in which I read. Some days I don't even make it to the backyard. And yet I'm unwilling to give up the adventurous life, the difficulty of it, even the pain, the anxiety and fear, aud the sudden brief lift of spirit that makes a hard journey more attractive.
    I refine adventure, make it smaller and smaller. And now, whether I am moving on my hands and knees across the dining room to help my cat, lying wide-eyed in the dark battling another period of sadness, gathering flowers from the garden, meeting a friend for lunch, I am always having the adventures that are mine to have.

    A. sadness      B. sacrifice       C. security      D. satisfaction

    阅读理解。
         Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower.
    But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains.
         His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia's snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the
    10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.
         "It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous," said Viesturs. "There's no simple way to climb it. There
    are threatening avalanches (雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain."
         In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog's tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog's
    story was of frostbite (冻伤) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.
         Viesturs got his start on Washington's Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years
    ago, he set out to walk up to the world's highest peaks. Finally, he's done.
         The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with
    respect. "You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,"
    said Viesturs. "If we have the patience and the respect, and if we're here at the right time, under the right
    circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down."
         What's next for a man who can't stop climbing? "I'm going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back
    and enjoy the summer," says Viesturs. But for a man who's climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains, he will
    probably soon set off on yet another adventure.
    1. What record has Ed Viesturs set?
    A. He has succeeded in climbing to the world' s 14th highest mountain.
    B. He has been to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains.
    C. He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545 feet.
    D. He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.
    2. The underlined word "hooked" in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by "_____".
    A. frightened
    B. discouraged
    C. interested
    D. upset
    3. The author used Viesturs' words in Paragraph 6 to support a view that _____.
    A. mountain climbing is a dangerous sport
    B. mountains should be regarded as living creatures
    C. mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy
    D. those who like mountain climbing won't stop climbing
    4. What' s the next probable plan of Viesturs?
    A. Stopping climbing and staying with his family.
    B. Climbing to the top of the world's 14 tallest mountains again.
    C. Climbing another one of the highest mountains.
    D. Writing down the experiences about his adventure.
