Fat 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 one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.

It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the

bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.

The following year, he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about Ridgways’s cold water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, then decided that this would be his future.

In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long –distance expedition（探险）towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite（冻疮）, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply loaded sled（雪橇）up and over rocky ice.

Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.

Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900 – kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.

41．What change happened to Saunders after he was 15 years old?

A．He became good at most sports. B．He began to build up his body.

C．He joined a sports team. D．He made friends with a runner. 42．The underlined word “exploits”（paragraph 3） is closest in meaning to .

43．Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Saunders?

a．He ran his first marathon. b．He skied alone in the North Pole.

c．He rode his bike in a forest. d．He planned an adventure to the South Pole.

A．a,c,d,b B．c,d,a,b C．a,c,b,d D．c,a,b,d

44．What does the story mainly tell us about Saunders?

A．He is a success in sports. B．He is the best British skier.

C．He is Ridgway’s favorite student. D．He is a good instructor at school

It’s 2035. You have a job, a family and you’re about 40 years old. Welcome to our future life.

Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror. “Turn red,”you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronics（智能电子元件）are rearranged in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe you’re 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You’re not even middle-aged!

As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you hear, “To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that,” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your s hoes. “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appear on the counter as kitchen che eks its food supplies.

“Ready for your trip to space, ” you ask your son and daughter. In 2020 only specially-trained astronauts went into space—and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for daytrips or longer vacation. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical adv ances, vaccination shots （防疫针）are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door.

It’s time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My o ffice, a utopilot,” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video film rather than read it.

45．What changes the color of your shirt?

A．The mirror. B．The shirt

itself.

C．The counter. D．The medicine. 46．How do the shoes know that you shouldn’t eat the breakfast cereal?

A．By pouring the breakfast into a bowl.

B．By listening to the doctor’s advice.

C．By testing the food supplies in the kitchen.

D．By checking the nutrition details of the food.

47．The strawberries the children eat serve as ______.

A．breakfast B．lunch

C．vaccines D．nutrition

48．How is the text organized?

52．What are volunteers for an experiment over the Internet supposed to do?

Old Computers Make for Unhappy Workers --- Survey

LONDON（Reuters）---Dealing with the dissatisfaction of ageing and unreliable office computers leads to workers’unhappiness and more sick –leave, a survey showed on Wednesday.

A survey carried out by https://www.360docs.net/doc/da10661345.html, of over 2,700 European office workers from the UK, France and Germany found that workplace dissatisfaction increased greatly with the age of computer equipment.

“We do know that job satisfaction is falling in Britain and in most advanced nations,” said Stephen White, a researcher from the Work Foundation. “The actual reasons for this are the subject of very heated discussion. It’s certainly one interesting theory that technology may be the cause of this in some way.” White added.

A quarter of those using out-dated computers in Britain said they were “quite” or “very dissatisfied” with their everyday job compared to 16 percent of those who had enjoyed an advantage from up-to-date technology.

The survey also said that among workers dealing with out-dated equipment, there was a 35 percent greater probability they would take six or more days of sick-leave per year compared with the average worker. In France, where more workers use older computers, the probability jumped to 55 percent.

Results also showed that women in the three countries were more likely to be using outdated equipment. In the UK, where more workers have up-to-date computers than in the other countries surveyed, the number of women using old equipment doubled that of men.

White pointed out that there were two sides to this problem, saying that continually having to deal with new technology and new equipment can also be source of worry. “Old and faulty equipment is a major cause of office dissatisfaction, there’s no question about it, but you also have to say that the frequent change of equipment is also, or could be, a main cause of

dissatisfaction.”

53．The underlined word “this” (paragraph3) refers to________.

A．workplace dissatisfaction B．computer use in most jobs

C．the ageing of office computers D．the survey by

https://www.360docs.net/doc/da10661345.html,

54．How many office workers using old computers in Britain expressed their dissatisfaction?

A．16% B．25% C．35% D．55%

55．According to White, why were the women surveyed more likely to use old computers?

A．Most office workers use old computers

B．They do some of their work with computers.

C．Dealing with new equipment can cause anxiety.

D．They are easier to be satisfied with new technology

56．What is the subject of this news story ?

A．Poor working conditions in offices

B．Research work of the Work Foundation

C．Influence of technology in the workplace

D．Different attitudes to old computers

MUNICH— Albert Einstein and Leonardo Da Vinci were in the club; Bill Clinton and Bill Gates are also among its most famous members.

Left-handed people, however, are considered less intelligent or unskillful with their hands.

Schools in many countries may allow children to write with their left hands, but in the meantime “the idea that children should be re-educated to write with right hands has not yet been removed from the heads of many parents and grandparents,” says Elizabeth Werthmueller of the Left-handers’ Initiative in Fulda in central Germany.

International Left-handed Day was held on August 13, 1976 ---it was a public

holiday-- in the USA.

Nowadays interest is steadily growing and there are several advice centers to provide advice and actively campaign against the opinion that left-handers are unskillful.

Psychologist and psychotherapist（精神病医生）Johanna Barbara Sattler, who founded the first advice center for left-handers in Munich in 1985,can only shake her head over some of the conclusions she’s heard. “Left-handed people die nine years earlier than the right-handers” is one rumor.（谣言）Sattler says that the process of changing writing hands means a sudden attack on the brain. Memory and speech defects（缺点）are the results, she says, because left or right-handedness, which scientists say is in any case inherited （遗传）, is controlled by the hemispheres（大脑半球）of the brain. These are connected to the opposite body-half by crossed nerves.

In left-handers, the right hemisphere is functionally dominant（支配）. It is primarily responsible for determining space preferences and thought. This explains why left-handed people are often described as particularly creative.

But in the workplace, they often have problems in using technical devices. However, it is always better to choose another job than to be forced to use the right hand, says Expert Sattler.

In contrast to 30 years ago, left-handers are no longer forced to switch to their right hand in German schools, yet many teachers still have no idea how they can help left-handers with practical advice. Instead, these children often have to hear that they have to get along with “the problem” themselves. 57．The first paragraph tells us that ___________.

A．scientists in the world are all left-handers

B．artists in the world are all left-handers

C．famous people all over the world are members of this special club D．some famous people may be left-handers

58．From the third paragraph, we learn that ___________.

A．students in many schools must write with their left hand

B．students in many schools sometimes write with their left hand

C．many parents insist that students write with their right hand

D．many parents insist that students write with both hands

60．It shows in this passage that left-handers are ____________.

A．unskillful in the workshop B．often full of imagination in their work

C．always trying to defeat right-handers D．often simple-minded and foolish

61．From the last two paragraph we find that ________.

A．people’s opinion about left-handers has changed

B．German students seldom get help from their teachers

C．left-handers at German schools feel disappointed

D．left-handers at German schools find no trouble using anything
