Many young people these days are interested in extreme sports, which mean very dangerous activities that need speed, height, or a high level of physical exertion(努力). Bungee jumping, snowskating, parkour and surfing are very popular extreme sports, but mountain climbing might be the first.
In 1985, two British young men, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates became the first west faces to climb the 6344-meter Siula Grande in the Andes(安第斯山脈). On the way down, Simpson fell and broke his leg, then he slipped(滑) down and lost connection with his friend. Yates had to get for help. Simpson fell more than 100 feet and landed on a bridge of ice. Finally he crawled(爬) for three days without food or water, until he reached the camp.
On April 26, 2003, when Aron Rolston was climbing alone in Utah, his arm was caught under a 360-kilo rock and he couldn’t move. After five days of waiting for help, the 28-year-old American ran out of water and finally he cut off half his right arm with a small knife to free himself. He also bandaged(包扎) himself in order not to lose too much blood. In 2004, he wrote a book named Between a Rock and a Hard Place. “In this book,” Aron said, “I want to tell the readers the importance of making good decisions, and of being in control of one’s life.”
小題1:How many kinds of extreme sports are mentioned in the first paragraph?
小題2:Did Simpson and Yates’s disasters happen on the way up the mountain?
小題3:How did Simpson get back to the camp?
小題4:What did Aron do to save himself when he ran out of water?
小題5:Why did Aron write the book Between a Rock and a Hard Place?

小題1:Five.
小題2:No(, they didn’t).
小題3:He crawled back to the camp.
小題4:He cut off half his right arm (with a small knife) and bandaged himself (in order not to lose too much blood).
小題5:Because he wanted to tell the readers the importance of making good decisions and of being in control of one’s life

試題分析：許多年輕人對極限運動感興趣，這是非常危險的活動，需要速度，高度，或高水平的體力消耗。蹦極，滑雪，跑酷和沖浪是很受歡迎的極限運動，但登山可能是第一個。因此接著描述了兩個關(guān)于登山愛好者，在探險的過程中出現(xiàn)的故事。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。問題：在第一自然段中提到了多少種極限運動？分析原文：Bungee jumping, snowskating, parkour and surfing are very popular extreme sports, but mountain climbing might be the first.句意:蹦極，滑雪，跑酷和沖浪是很受歡迎的極限運動，但登山可能是第一個。明確提到的運動有五種。故填：Five.
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。問題：辛普森和耶特的災害發(fā)生在上山的路嗎？他們成功的到達了山頂，但是在下山的時候發(fā)生了意外。分析原文：On the way down句意：在下山的路上。因此本題應該用否定回答。故填：No(, they didn’t).
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。問題：辛普森是如何返回到營地的？分析原文：Finally he crawled(爬) for three days without food or water, until he reached the camp.句意：最后在沒有水沒有食物的情況下，他爬了三天，才到達了營地。明確他回來的方式。故填：He crawled back to the camp.
小題4:細節(jié)理解題。問題：當阿隆從水里面出來，他為了救自己，他做了什么？分析原文：he cut off half his right arm with a small knife to free himself. He also bandaged(包扎) himself in order not to lose too much blood. 句意： 他用小刀砍斷了他的右臂一半。為了不失去太多的血他還用繃帶包扎了。短文詳細說明了他做了什么。故填：He cut off half his right arm (with a small knife) and bandaged himself (in order not to lose too much blood).
小題5:細節(jié)理解題。問題：為什么阿隆寫了《在巖石與硬地之間》這本書？聯(lián)系原文他說的一句話：I want to tell the readers the importance of making good decisions, and of being in control of one’s life.句意：我想告訴讀者們對于一個好的決定，把握自己的生命是重要的。從中明確了答案。故填：Because he wanted to tell the readers the importance of making good decisions and of being in control of one’s life

Six years ago, my interest in football started when I watched the 2006 World Cup.   小題1:  In fact, football has influenced me in many ways and I have benefited ( 受益 ) a lot from it.
First, 小題2:  Through talking about football, I have known many people with the same interest as mine. We often exchange opinions with each other in our spare time and have fun.
Second,    小題3:   For instance, I am a football fan of AC  Milan. My passion for Milan has stimulated(刺激) me to learn Italian by myself because I wanted to learn morn about that special Italian club. And most football games I have watched are aired in English, so I have the chance to practice my English listening comprehension and to learn more English words about sports.
Third, 小題4: I remember Bai Yansong once says in his book that playing a football match is just like going through an act of life. I quite agree with him. In a football match, at first you are perhaps in a leading position,  but if you don't keep working hard enough, your opponents may take advantage of your carelessness to win the match. Also in a football match, even you are left behind by a score of, say, 0--3 and you have limited match time left, you still have a chance and hope to win as long as you play really hard. I think it is the same in our real life.
In a word,   小題5:  I will go on living football and supporting my Milan.
A．Football has been an excitement for me to learn more knowledge, especially foreign languages.
B．Being a football fan gives me a lot of chances to make friends because common interest brings us together.
C．Since then, I have always been crazy for football
D．Football has influenced me much in a positive way.
E. Football has provided me with a deeper understanding of life.

Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking, Although I’m a shy man, I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say, then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience won’t, either.
Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin, what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(關(guān)鍵的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.
Keep your speech not long. The standard (標準的) length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反應)，the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.
Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.

Computers can injure (傷害) you. Most other injuries happen suddenly. For example, if you fall off a bike and break your arms, it happens very quickly. But computer injuries happen slowly. You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely.
Your eyes
Too much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be more than 50 centimeters from the screen. Don’t forget to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.
When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect on (反射) the screen. If the window is in front of you，the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.
Your hands and wrists (手腕)
Hand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times.
If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow these three rules:
1) Rest your wrists on something.
2) Keep your elbows (肘) as high as the keyboard.
3) Stop sometimes and exercise your hands, wrists and fingers in a different way.
Your back
Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way, you can injure your back or your neck. So you shouldn’t bend your back when you sit. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes. Your forearms, wrists, hands and the upper part of your legs should all be parallel (平行) to the floor. If you are sitting for a long time, get up every half an hour and exercise your arms, legs and neck.
Enjoy your computer, but use it safely.
