Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind of football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering (mountain climbing).

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with much surprise. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This surprise is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity in which men relax themselves.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods. If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face joined by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is clearly teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is no unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

67. The main difference between a sport and a game lies in _______.

　 A. uniform　　　 B. rules　 　　C. activity 　　 D. skills

68. Mountaineering is also a team sport because ________.　　　　　

　 A. it connects to rules

　 B. it is about matches between teams

　 C. it needs mental and physical qualities

　 D. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing

69. Which of the following statements is true? ________

　 A. Mountaineers fight against nature.　

B. Mountaineers fight against other teams.

C. Mountaineers fight against each other.

D. Mountaineers fight against international standard.

70. The best title for this passage will be _________.

　 A. My favorite mountaineering

B. The required skills of mountain climbing

C. Dangerous but attractive mountaineering

D. A sport proper for the old and the young

Maggie was very glad that James did not often visit the house. In the children’s opinion, they had something that they couldn’t explain or understand about him and that excited their imagination. He caused Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “It’s a pity that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.”

In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be put off. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Indeed, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her.

Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to stay around her, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James’ voice. Very late, they fell asleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to say goodbye to them with four pence before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was unwilling to give or share what he had. He always went home by the last train, just after two o’clock.

Maggie’s children secretly looked at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother’s words,“lost two wives and taken a third.” They wondered about those two unlucky, lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate（命运）had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.

63. Maggie never prepared anything special for James because ________.

A. he was a man difficult to please

B. she never knew when he was coming

C. she was too busy looking after her children

D. he never stayed long enough for a meal

64. About James’ behavior we can learn that ________.

A. He was a kind man, with love for the family

B. He was unselfish, especially towards his brother

C. He hoped to please the family, especially the children

D. He was rude to his sister-in-law

65. Maggie felt pleased when ________ .

A. James thanked her for the nice supper

B. James gave some money to the children

C. she had to wake James up to catch his train

D. she paid James the money that she should give him

66. The children did not realize that two of James’ wives ________.

A. were dead                             B. suffered from loss of memory

C. had run away from him                       D. might re-appear one day

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants（居民）of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that make tourists feel much interested. Tourism should also advance the well being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.

Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.

On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.

Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, large underground pipes to handle waste and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.

59. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes

before the passage?

A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.

B. Building roads and hotels is essential.

C. Support facilities are highly necessary.

D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.

60. It is good for local people to well realize that tourism will ________.

A. use up a large amount of water

B. weaken their economy

C. help improve their life

D. help build up their traditions

61. The word “handle” in the last paragraph most probably means ________.

A. carry away        B. pick up            C. get in           D. take down

62. What’s the main idea of the passage? _________.

A. Advantages of tourism developing

B. The bad effects of tourism without well planning

C. The effects of tourism on the local industries

D. Disadvantages of too much tourism

Xiang Xiaowen is a student who survived the earthquake in China’s Sichuan Province. Like thousands of others, she is now living in a tent in the hard-hitting city of Mianyang.

We are now sleeping in a tent city.

The earthquake happened last Monday and our rooms in school were destroyed. There are four tent cities. Everybody is sleeping under tents. The tents are so wet and we feel so cold. Many students feel uncomfortable but we must live in the tent. Although there are many difficulties after the earthquake, we will do our best to solve them.
