Long long ago, there was a small village. This village had a  1  tradition. At the beginning of every year, any boy who had reached the age of majority (the state of legally being an adult) was given land and money to build a home. The boy had to   2 his home before winter. If his home failed to endure the cold weather in winter, the villagers could not  3  him in any way.

After Marc saw several homes, he  8 the best ideas and went back to his own land. Paul, 9  , continued collecting more ideas. Soon he had so many great ideas that he began to  10 some of them. But he always believed he could find even better ideas in the next village.

举一反三
“Get out of the plane!” Justin shouted. Teddy and he dropped to the ground,….
When Kathy and Victor reached the edge of the grassland, flames(火焰)were shooting more than five meters into the air.
Kathy couldn’t believe what she was seeing. One glance told her they needed medical attention immediately. She questioned Justin, “ Is there anyone in the plane?”
“No,” he said.
“Where are you able to radio for help?”
“There was no time.”
“ I’m a distance runner.” Kathy said, “I’ll go for help.” Looking at the seriously injured men, she said, “It may take me several hours to get out.” She started out.
When she was 23, Kathy set a women’s-course record in a Marathon. She had run 42 kilometers. But now she was running the race of her life. She had nearly 30 kilometers of hard wilderness to cover to get help.
Kathy had been running for two hours. This was far back into the wilderness. The trail(小径) grew unclear. She stopped to take a quick compass(指南针) reading. She had run for more than 20 kilometers. Her heart fell, her muscle(肌肉) aching. Finally she saw her car in the distance.

During the wait she walked around, relaxing her legs and drinking water. It took almost two hours for a helicopter to reach her. They needed her for one more task.

Are you a media addict who would go mad after two hours without TV, friend requests, exciting online games and your mobile – or would you easily survive?
Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged. It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos, a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University. The experiment is now over but he doesn’t yet know the full findings. However, during the experiment, Dr Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers. He said: “They’re reporting withdrawal symptoms(症状), overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected.” During their 24-hour painful experience, three of the experiment’s guinea pigs had to endure one intrusion(侵扰) from the media: a BBC reporter plus cameraman who followed them around for the day. They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline, but of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops. Elliot Day wrote: “Today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air. Despite being aware of the social importance of the media, I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers.” From Caroline Scott, we read: “I didn’t expect it, but being prevented from the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual… I didn’t break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to, but it’s not something I would like to do again!” And Charlotte Gay wrote: “I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not only is it a social tool, it’s my main access point of communication.”
Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once. And a recent study by Nielson found that on average, US teenagers send and receive over 3,000 texts per month ---that’s about six texts per waking hour. So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?
小题1:What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To ask for information.B.To entertain the readers.
C.To lead to the topic.D.To present an idea.
小题2:About Dr. Roman Gerodimos’ experiment, we know that ________.
A.volunteers felt uncomfortable in it.
B.volunteers didn’t want to eat anything.
C.the experiment was still going on.
D.volunteers were allowed to take their laptops.
小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Three pigs were included in the experiment.
B.A BBC reporter discussed the experiment.
C.During the 24 hours’ experiment the volunteers wrote out their experiences.
D.The lecturer had expected sweat would suddenly appear on the volunteers through fear.
小题4:What does the sentence “…was thrown up into the air” most probably means?
A.went on normally.B.was completely disturbed.
C.turned out perfect.D.was badly designed.
小题5:Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A.Surviving without the Media.B.Unplugging Your Life.
C.Valuing Social Communication.D.Setting Aside Time for Sleep.

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the   1  was he found himself unable to ask for help-his mobile phone went out of   2  as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to
  3  in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the   4  of the rescue.
It is almost   5  that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his  6 : “First of all I checked up my   7  conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no    8  to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from  9 .  In this way I dozed (打盹) off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the   10  of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men   11  to explore a mountain cave and got lost.
  12  to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of   13 . Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the   14  
people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the
  15  of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to   16 
themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering (闪烁) not far away.
Don’t you think that you can compare it with   17  itself? When you meet with obstacles in life and work, you are lost in darkness.   18  you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle   19 . It seems to be a negative attitude,  20  a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place.

“Time is a problem for children,” states a news report for a new Swiss watch. Children in some countries “learn time slowly” because “they don’t wear watches” and “parents don’t really know how to teach them time.” The children grow up with this handicap and become adults-and then can’t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? Of course-it’s the Flick Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company.
The Flick Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself does not teach children how to tell time, of course; it merely “takes their imagination” by presenting the “hour” hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the “minute” hand as a tall blue boy named Flick. Flick points to related “blue” minutes on the dial, while Flak points to “red” hour numbers. The characters and colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.
The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band (尼龙表带). Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flick Flak, calls it “childproof: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine.” The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing to tell time; it’s quite another for them to be on time.
小题1:From the news report we know that ______.
A.parents are patient when teaching children time
B.parents have little idea of how to teach children time
C.children are likely to learn time quickly
D.children enjoy wearing the Flick Flak watch
小题2:The author doesn’t seem to believe ______.
A.children will be on time if they have not learnt how to tell time
B.a Flick Flak can help parents teach their children how to tell time
C.the Flick Flak can take children’s imagination
D.children usually have trouble telling time if they don’t wear watches
小题3:The underlined word handicap (Para. 1) means ______.
A.displeasureB.discouragementC.disappointmentD.disadvantage
小题4:The United State sales manager calls the new watch “childproof” because ______.
A.it is designed to teach children to be on time
B.it proves to be effective in teaching children time
C.it is made so as not to be easily damaged by children
D.it is the children’s favorite watch

You want to have fun and adventure and so you decide to travel somewhere to do it. Sounds like a simple enough thing. And basically it is. But what is adventure? That is the key here and the answer can be different for different people.
For those who love sports, adventure travel can have a whole different meaning than for those who like history. The physical travel types that you can find include such adventure travel as white water rafting (白浪漂流), kayaking or climbing and hiking to some mountains somewhere. To the hiker, backpacking across Ireland might be their adventure. For this type of person, adventure travel almost always includes something physical. Often the goal is to push their body’s limits and test their individual endurance (耐力).
For those who less want to climb mountains, adventure travel might mean traveling to Nepal and taking in the local festivals. Wine tasting in Italy is also vacation adventure for the more relaxed traveler who enjoys peace and comfort. Anything that is opposite to the normal scope (范围) of the traveler’s lifestyle defines (定义) adventure.
Adventure travel is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all type of vacation. Adventure depends on the person’s physical limits, how much money the person has and what the person enjoys doing. Going beyond the normal is adventurous for many. If your life is quite busy, then sitting on a beach in the moonlight with your family might be adventure for you. The point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for YOU — not for the person next to you.
Do not sit home this year when vacation time rolls around. Go beyond your normal routine and try something new. If you usually spend your vacation sun-bathing on a beach, try hiking, instead, through the mountains. Look around you, think beyond your comfort zone and head out on an adventure vacation.
小题1:For a quiet traveler, he is most likely to choose _________.
A.backpacking across a country
B.wine tasting in a bar
C.hiking to some mountains
D.white water rafting
小题2:To have an adventure travel, the most important is _________.
A.whether you enjoy yourself
B.whether you try something dangerous
C.where you go for the traveling
D.what you do in the traveling
小题3:The underlined word “beyond” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_________”.
A.according toB.later thanC.more thanD.less than
小题4:From the passage, we can make a conclusion that _________.
A.adventure travel always includes something dangerous
B.adventure travel will cost you a large sum of money
C.anything that goes beyond the normal is adventure travel
D.adventure travelers like to do things to the limits of their body
小题5:The best title for the passage may be “_________”.
A.Tips on adventure travel
B.Who is interested in adventure travel
C.What is adventure travel
D.Popular places for adventure travel
