16、5 points)Section ADirections: In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneSometimes a race is not enough. Sometimes a runner just wa

17、nts to go further. Thats what happened to Dennis Martin and Brooke Curran.Martin, 68, a retired detective form New York City, took up running after his first wife died. Curran, 46, a philanthropist(慈善家)from Alexandria, started running to get out of the house and collect her thoughts. Both she and Ma

18、rtin got good at running but felt the desire to do more. “The more I trained, the better I got,” Curran said,” but I would cross the finish line with no sense of accomplishment.”Eventually , they worked up to running marathons(馬拉松)(and longer races) in other countries, on other countries. Now both h

19、ave achieved a notable -and increasingly less rate- milestone; running the 26.2-mile race on all seven continents.They are part of a phenomenon that has grown out of the running culture in the past two decades, at the intersection of athleticism and leisure: “runcations,” which combine distance runn

20、ing with travel to exotic places. There trips, as expensive as they are physically challenging, are a growing and competitive market in the travel industry.“In the beginning, running was enough,” said Steen Albrechtsen, a press manager. The classic marathon was the ultimate goal, then came the super

21、 marathons, like London and New York. But when 90,000 people a year can take that challenge, it is no longer exciting and adventurous. Hence, the search for new adventures began.”“No one could ever have imagined that running would become the lifestyle activity that it is today,” said Thom Gilligan,

22、founder and president of Boston-based Marathon Tours and Travel. Gilligan, who has been in business since 1979, is partly responsible for the seven-continent phenomenon.It started with a casual talk to an interviewer about his company offering trips to every continent except Antarctica. And then in

23、1995, Marathon fours hosted its first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island. Off the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula; 160 runners got to the starting line of a dirt-and ice-trail route via a Russian icebreaker through the Drake Passage.21. At the beginning, Martin took up running just to _.A. mee

24、t requirements of his job B. win a running raceC. join in a philanthropic activity D. get away from his sadness22. Martin and Curran are mentioned as good examples of _.A. winners in the 26.2-mile race on all seven continentsB. people who enjoy long running as a lifestyle activityC. running racers s

25、atisfied with their own performanceD. old people who live an active life after retirement23.

The classic marathon no longer satisfies some peopl

26、e because _.A. it does not provide enough challenge B. it may be tough and dangerousC. it involves too fierce a competition D. it has attracted too many people25. The first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island indicates that _.A. international cooperation is a must to such an eventB. runcations

27、 are expensive and physically challengingC. Marathon Tours is a leader of the travel industryD. adventurous running has become increasingly popularPassage TwoBefore the 1970s, college students were treated as children. So many colleges ran in loco parentis system. “In loco parentis”is a Latin term m

28、eaning “in the place of a parent.” It describes when someone else accepts responsibility to act in the interests of a child.This idea developed long ago in British common law to define the responsibility of teachers toward their students. For years, American courts upheld in loco parentis in cases s

29、uch as Gott versus Berea College in 1913.Gott owned a restaurant off campus. Berea threatened to expel students who ate at places not owned by the school. The Kentucky high court decided that in loco parentis justified that rule.In loco parentis meant that male and female college students usually ha

30、d to live in separate buildings. Women had to be back at their dorms by ten or eleven on school nights.But in the 1960s, students began to protest rules and restrictions like these. At the same time, courts began to support students who were being punished for political and social dissent.In 1960, A

31、labama State College expelled six students who took part in a civil rights demonstration. They sued the school and won. After that it became harder and harder to defend in loco parentis.At that time, students were not considered adults until 21. Then, in 1971, the 24th amendment to the Constitution

32、set the voting age at eighteen. So in loco parentis no longer really applied.Slowly, colleges began to treat students not as children, but as adults. Students came to be seen as consumers of educational services.Gary Dickstein, an assistant vice president at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio,

33、says in loco parentis is not really gone. It just looks different. Todays parents, he says, are often heavily involved in studentslives. They are known as “helicopter parents.”They always seem to hover over their children. Gary Dickstein says these parents are likely to question decisions, especiall

34、y about safety issues and grades. They want to make sure their financial investment is not being wasted.26. Before the 1970s, many colleges ran in loco parentis system because_ .A. they could take the place of the studentsparentsB. parents asked them to do it for the interests of their childrenC. th

35、is was a tradition established by British collegesD. college students were regarded as too young to be treated as adults27. Who won the case of Gott versus Berea College in 1913 _A. Berea College. B. Gott.C. It was a win-win case. D. The students.28. The word “dissent”(Para.5) probably means “ ”.A.

36、extreme behaviors B. violation of lawsC. strong disagreement D. Wrong doings29. In 1960，the court ruled that Alabama State CollegeA. had no right to expel the students B. was justified to have expelled the studentsC. shouldnt interfere with students daily life D. should support civil rights demonstr

37、ations30. According to Gary Dickstein, todays “helicopter parents_.A. dont set their hearts at rest with college administratorsB. keep a watchful eye on their childrens life and studyC. care less about their childrens education than beforeD. have different opinions on their childrens educationPassag

38、e ThreeWe tend to think of plants as the furniture of the natural world. They dont move they dont make sounds, they dont seem to respond to anything at least not very quickly. But as is often the case, our human view of the world misses quite a lot. Plants talk to each other all the time. And the la

39、nguage is chemical.Over the years scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, release compounds into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings all have the same purposeto spread information about one plants disease so other plants can defend the

40、mselves. But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still mysterious.In this weeks Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers in Japan offer some explanations. They have identified one chemical message and traced it all the way from release to action.The sci

41、entists looked at tomato plants infested(侵害) by common pest, the cutworm caterpillar(毛蟲). To start out, they grew plants in two plastic compartments connected by a tube. One plant was infested and placed upwind and the others were uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later expose

42、d to the cutworm caterpillar. The results showed that plants that had previously been near sick neighbors were able to defend themselves better against the caterpillar.The researchers also studied leaves from exposed and unexposed plants. They found one compound showed up more often in the exposed p

43、lants. The substance is called Hex Vic. When the scientists fed Hex Vic to cutworms, it knocked down their survival rate by 17%. The scientists identified the source of Hex Vic, and sprayed it lightly over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to start producing the caterpillar-killing Hex Vic

44、. Researchers confirmed that uninfested plants have to build their own weapon to fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to play defense They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.It is a complex tale, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also b

45、e happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. For now though, we know that plants not only communicate, they look out for one another.31. What does the author try to emphasize Paragraph 1 _.A. How plants communicate is still a mystery.B. Enough attention has been paid to plant

46、 talk.C. Plants are the furniture of the natural world.D. Plants can communicate with each other.32. According to Paragraph 2, what remains unknown is _A. how plants receive and handle the signals from their neighborsB. why plants spread chemical information to their neighborC. how many types of pla

47、nts release compounds into the airD. whether plants send chemical warnings to their neighbors33. The tomato plants in the experiment were _A. placed separately but connected through airB. expose to different kinds of pestsC. exposed to the pest at the same timeD. placed together in a closed compartm

48、ent34. The experiment shows that the infested plant helps its neighbors by _A. making more Hex Vic to attract the pestB. releasing Hex Vic into the air to warn themC. letting them know how to produce Hex VicD. producing enough Hex Vic to kill the pest35.What may be the best title for the passageA. S

49、urvival of Plants B. Plant WorldC. Talking Plants D. Plant Bug KillerPassage FourVancouver is the best place to live in the Americas, according to a quality-of-life ranking published earlier this month .The city regularly tops such indexes as its clean air, spacious homes and weekend possibilities o

50、f sailing and skiing. But its status as a livable city is threatened by worsening congestion(擁擠).Over the next three decades, another 1 million residents are expected to live in the Greater Vancouver region, adding more cars, bicycles and lorries to roads that arc already struggling to serve the exi

51、sting 2.3 million residents.A proposal by Vancouvers mayor seeks to prevent the worsening conditions. Upgrades would be made to 2,300 kilometres of road lanes, as well as bus routes and cycle paths. Four hundred new buses would join the fleet of 1,830. There would be more trains and more “sea bus” f

52、erry crossings between Vancouver and its wealthy northern suburbs. To get all that, residents must vote to accept an increase in sales tax, from 7% to 7.5%. Polls suggest they will vote no.Everyone agrees that a more efficient transport system is needed. Confined by mountains to the north, the Unite

53、d States to the south and the Pacific Ocean to the west, Vancouver has spread in the only direction where there is still land, into the Fraser Valley, which just a few decades ago was mostly farmland. The road is often overcrowded.Yet commuterssuspicion of local bureaucrats may exceed their dislike

54、of congestion. TransLink, which runs public transport in the region, is unloved by taxpayers. Passengers blame it when Skytrain,the light-rail system, comes to a standstill because of mechanical or electrical faults, as happened twice in one week last summer, leaving commuters stuck in carriages wit

55、h nothing to do but expressing their anger on Twitter. That sort of thing has made voters less willing to pay the C$7.5 billion in capital spending that the ten-year trafficupgrade would involve.Despite the complaints, Vancouvers transport system is a decent, well-integrated one on which to build, r

56、eckons Todd Litman, a transport consultant who has worked for TransLink. “These upgrades are all-important if Vancouver wants to maintain its reputation for being a destination others want to go to.”He says.36.

57、B. climate changeC. shortage of land D. lack of money37.
