第一节阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）

(A)

A newly-wedded couple on a four-month honeymoon were hit by six natural disasters, including the Australian floods, Christchurch earthquake and Japanese tsunami (海啸).

Stefan and Erika Svanstrom left Stockholm, Sweden, on December 6 and were immediately stranded (搁浅) in Munich, Germany, due to one of Europe's worst snowstorms.

Travelling with their baby daughter, they flew on to Cairns in Australia which was then struck by one of the most violent cyclones in the nation's history.

From there, the couple, in their 20s, were forced to shelter for 24 hours on the cement (水泥) floor of a shopping centre with 2,500 others.

"Trees were being knocked over and big branches were put down across the streets, " Mr. Svanstrom told Sweden's Expressen newspaper. "We escaped by the skin of our teeth."

Mr. Svanstrom said they then headed south to Brisbane but the city was experiencing massive flooding, so they crossed the country to Perth where they narrowly escaped burning bush fires.

The couple then flew to Christchurch, New Zealand, arriving just after a massive magnitude (震级) 6.3 earthquake attacked the city on February 22.

Mrs. Svanstrom said, "When we got there the whole town was a war zone. We could not visit the city since it was completely blocked off, so instead we travelled around before going to Japan."

But days after the Svanstroms arrived, Tokyo was rocked by Japan's largest earthquake since records began.

"The trembling was horrible and we saw roof tiles fly off the buildings," Mr. Svanstrom said.

"It was like the buildings were swaying back and forth."

The family returned to Stockholm on March 29 after a much calmer visit to their last destination China.

But Mr. Svanstrom -- who also survived the devastating (毁灭性的) Boxing Day tsunami that hit southeast Asia in 2004 -- said the marriage was still going strong.

He added, "I know marriages have to experience some difficulties, but I think we have been through most of them. We've certainly experienced more than our fair share of disasters, but the most important thing is that we're together and happy."

(B)

When it comes to President Obama, most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha, however, has been kept a little more under wraps.

The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House, as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children

The girls must write reports about what they’ve seen on their trips, even if it’s not required by their school.

Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends, and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.

Malia and Sasha have to play two sports one they choose and one selected by their mother.

Malia must learn to do laundry before she leaves for college.

The girls have to eat their vegetables, and if they say they are not hungry, they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.

While these might be shocking to some, Michelle said, “They’re not little princess. It’s just basic rules, boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”

Michelle also mentions another set of rules

The girls must do their chores, though the White House has a large staff. Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.

They must play a team sport, because it’s about learning how to play on a team, how to lose and how to win gracefully.

…

51. What’s the passage mainly about?

B. The first family rules.

C. How to be good parents.

D. How to be good students.

D. Reports.

B. The girls must do their chores though there might be lots of help around.

C. The girls must play a team sport to gain team spirit by working together.

D. The parents want to make the girls grow healthily as common children.

(C)

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.

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risk on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different thing that it 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 and 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 linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than men. 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 not 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 efforts, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

56. What's the meaning of “leisure” in Paragraph 2?

A. spare time

B. rest

C. entertainment

D. enjoyment

57. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because _________.

A. it is an Olympic event

B. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing

C. teams compete against each other

D. there are five climbers on each team

58. Why are many people attracted by mountaineering?

A. Because they doesn’t have to be restricted by rules while climbing.

B. Because they can improve their skill when they are on a rock face.

C. Because they can learn to fight the forces of nature while climbing.

D. Because they can enjoy a lot of fun while climbing.

59. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. people show interest in mountaineering because it is a team game

B. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers

C. a mountain climber would pass his best by the age of thirty

D. it is possible for an old man of sixty to climb the Alps

60. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football.

B. Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other Sports

C. Mountaineering

D. Mountain Climber

One possible version

Last Sunday, May 19, all 25 members of our school bicycle club including myself went on a wonderful trip. We gathered at the school gate at 745 am, and set off at 800. After arriving at the botanic g arden at 900 am, we explored the park’s amazing collection of rare and precious plants, which broadened our understanding of nature. Then we spent half an hour riding to the reservoir, where we enjoyed picnic lunch and some fishing. Through these activities, not only did we get closer to the nature and breathe fresh air, but we also strengthened our awareness of protecting the environment.
