18．Cancun is a seaside town in Mexico，where most tourists come here to enjoy the beach，water sports and night life．In fact，it is so modern and Americanized that you might think you were in southern California or Florida．
But just a short two-hour hike from the town lie the ruins of the city of Chichen-Itza，one of the capitals of the lost Maya（瑪雅）civilization．The center of the ruins of this city is the pyramid of El Castillo．The ancient Mayan religious people climbed this pyramid during festival to honor the Sun god．Tourists today climb it to view the architectural achievements of Chichen-Itza and to prove their fearlessness of heights and steep （陡峭的）climbs．There is a sign in Spanish，admonishing visitors"It's dangerous to go up．"I gladly ignored it and started my climb．
The climbing was tough．The steps were higher than one might normally take．，but the climb was not fearful at all．From the top of the pyramid，I had a wonderful view of the ruins of this Mayan city．What was most striking to me was that just beyond the ruins of splendid structures，gardens，temples and what looks like a modern sports stadium，you could only see forests for miles and miles．It was almost as if some race had mysteriously come out of nowhere，built it up and then suddenly disappeared from the planet，leaving only stones in its space．
The only remains on the top of the pyramid were the Temple of Kukulcan．During the festivals to worship the Sun god，only the high ranks would have the right to enter this temple．
After shooting a few pictures，I realized it was time to go down．Only then did I discover that what people fear about the climb is not the trip going up，but the way going down．I saw a few brave souls who were walking down as if they were in their own house．Looking down at the steepness of the pyramid，I desperately feared this great height．My first desire was to joke with a few people，"Where is the elevator（電梯）？"I figured that a civilization that was this advanced would have had the foresight（預(yù)見） to construct an elevator．Lacking such modern equipment，I had to use the chain provided by the Mexican tourist authorities and climb down on all fours．
My climb was complete eventually．I quickly got on the bus back to my comfortable hotel．Leaving the ruined city，I was still wondering what possibly happened long ago．But a few hours later，I was back in the modern world drinking cocktails on the beach，bathing in the sunshine before boarding the plane and waiting for my trip back home to the US，where all the modern things such as elevators are available!
62．Why did the writer pay a visit to the ruined city of Chichen-Itza？A
A．He wanted to climb the pyramid of EL Castillo and know about the Mayan civilization．
B．He would got to the Temple of Kukulcan to attend a religious festival to honor the Sun god．
C．He thought the city of Chichen-Itza was quite different from the modern town of Cancun．
D．He was attracted by the ruined ancient buildings there and wanted to take some photos．
63．The underlined word"admonishing"in Paragraph 2 probably means"C"．
A．urging          B．forcing          C．warning         D．frightening
64．Which of the following best shows climbing the pyramid of EL Castillo is a difficult task？D
A．The steps are very high and it is much more scaring to climb to the top．
B．The climbing calls for courage and patience，and also takes a long time．
C．When tourist climb up to the top，there is no elevator to take them down．
D．The pyramid is high and steep，and climbing down is much more fearful．
65．From the last paragraph，we can infer that the writerB．
A．had a bad impression of the visit and decided to leave as soon as possible．
B．thought modernization could offer people comforts and conveniences．
C．got tired of the modern life and tried a different one in his own way．
D．enjoyed himself in the climb though it was very tiring and dangerous．

19．The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby．Almost from the moment it is born，the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother．During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large，warm，and soft object in its environment，particularly if that object also gives it milk．After a week or so，however，the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on"mother"-the real mother or the mother-substitute．
During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby．The Harlows，a couple who are both psychologists，discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes-one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire．If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature，the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother．However，if the wire model was heated，while the cloth model was cool，for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites．Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother．
Why is cloth preferable to bare wire？Something that the Harlows called contact  comfort seems to be the answer，and a most powerful influence it is．Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers'skins，putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can．Whenever the young animal is frightened，disturbed，or annoyed，it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body．Wire doesn't"rub"as well as does soft cloth．Prolonged （長時間的）"contact comfort"with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk．
According to the Harlows，the basic quality of a baby's love for its mother is trust．If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother，the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be．It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball．If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom，the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life．After a few minutes of contact comfort，it obviously begins to feel more secure．It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys，but often rushes back for a deep embrace as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well．Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its"mother．"
29．Psychologically，what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two
weeks of its life？A
A．Warmth                  B．Milk                 C．Contact               D．Trust
30．After the first two weeks of their life，baby monkeys prefer the cloth mother to
the wire mother because the former isD．
A．larger in size                                       B．closer to them
C．less frightening and less disturbing     D．more comfortable to rub against
31．It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure，D．
A．it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toys
B．it spends more time screaming to get rewards
C．it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting
D．it cares less about whether its mother is still around
32．The main purpose of the passage is toB．
A．give the reasons for the experiment
B．present the findings of the experiment
C．introduce the method of the experiment

3．Many of us may be eating food containing GM（轉(zhuǎn)基因的） ingredients without realizing it．Are GM foods safe for people？Can they help solve the poverty problem？They have been the subjects of a hot debate．
This debate is related to increasing challenges from rising climatic change，population growth，urbanization，and natural resource consumption．According to the Food and Agriculture Organization，food production needs to increase by 60percent by 2050in order to feed 9billion people．Scientists and policymakers are searching for effective ways to gain nutritious food，for today and future．Unlike previous agricultural methods （such as the Green Revolution），GM crops are to fight food safety and poverty challenges．
The great expansion of GM crop varieties over the last two decades can be seen easily．The total area devoted to GM crops has increased 100times from 1.7million hectares in 1996to 170million hectares in 2012．Developing countries now grow more GM crops than developed countries （in terms of area），largely driven by Brazil's rapid adoption of GM crops．China is home to about 4percent of the total global area devoted to GM crops．Beans，corn，and cotton are main global GM crops，while China's focus is on cotton，papaya，and poplar．
Recently，a scientific study shows that GM crops are safe for people and the     environment．According to a 2010report on the safety of GM crops by the EU，"the main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130research projects，covering a period of more than 25years of research，and involving more than 500research groups，is that biology methods，are not more risky than traditional planting technologies，for example．"Other international and national scientific bodies，such as the World Health Organization，have reached the same conclusion．
24．As for GM crops，what do people mainly focus on？C
A．Food production．
B．Food nutrition．
C．Food safety．
D．Food variety．
25．What does Paragraph 3talk about？D
A．More GM crops in developing countries．
B．Less GM crops in developed countries．
C．Rapid adoption of GM crops in Brazil．
D．The expansion of GM crop varieties of the world．
26．From a recent scientific study，we can infer thatB．
A．traditional planting technologies are more risky
B．the safety of GM crops has been proved in many ways
C．the safety of GM crops was reported by the EU in 2010
D．present GM crops are safe for people and the environment
27．What's the writer's attitude towards GM crops？A

13．Some years ago，on a hot summer day in south Florida，a little boy decided to go for a swim in the cold swimming hole behind his house．
In a hurry to dive into the cool water，he did not realize an alligator（短吻鱷）was swimming towards the shore．His mother in the house，looking out of the window，saw the two as they got closer and closer together．In fear，she ran towards the water，yelling to the son as loudly as she could．
It was too late．The alligator reached him．
From the dock，the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator got his legs．That began an incredible tug of war（拔河）between the two．The alligator was much stronger than the mother，but the mother would not let go．A farmer happened to drive by，heard her screams，ran from his truck，and shot the alligator．
Amazingly，after weeks and weeks in the hospital，the little boy survived．His leg were extremely scarred by the animal's attack，and on his arms were scratches （抓痕） from mothers'fingernails where she had tried to hang on to the son she loved．
The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show him his scars．The boy lifted his pant legs．And then，he proudly said to the reporter："But look at my arms．I have great scars on my arms，too．I have them because my mom would not let go．"
You and I can identify with （理解） that little boy．We have scars，too．No，not from alligator，or anything quite so dramatic．But the scars of a painful past．Some of those scares are ugly and have caused us deep regret．
But some wounds，my friend，are because someone has refused to let go．In your struggle，maybe someone has been there holding on to you．
24．Upon seeing the alligator getting close to her boy，the motherC．
A．dived into the cool water at once
B．was too afraid to move
C．shouted a warning to her boy
D．got ready to fight the crocodile
25．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text？A

B．The mother won the"match"because of her strength．
C．A farmer scared the alligator away by hitting it in the eyes．
D．A crocodile attacked the boy when he and his mother were swimming．

B．what a brave boy he was
C．how recently he had survived an attack
D．how great his mother was

A．We can be brave and never let go of our loved ones．
B．We may be faced with danger in our lives．
C．We may have to depend on the kindness of strangers．

16．MELBOURNE，Australia-A kangaroo frightened by a man walking his dog attacked the pair，throwing the pet underwater and hitting the owner in the stomach with its back legs．The Australian，Chris Rickard，was in stable condition Monday after the attack，which ended when the 49-year-old struck the kangaroo in the throat．
Rickard said he was walking his blue dog，Rocky，on Sunday morning when they surprised a sleeping kangaroo in Arthur's Creek northeast of Melbourne．The dog chased the animal into a pond，when the kangaroo turned and knocked the pet underwater．
When Rickard tried to pull his dog free，the kangaroo turned on him，attacking with its back legs and tearing a deep cut into his stomach and across his face．
"I thought I might take action to drag the dog out from under his grasp，but I didn't expect him to actually attack me，"Rickard，49，told The Herald Sun newspaper．"It was a shock at the start because it was a kangaroo，about 5 feet high，they don't go around killing people．"
"I was stuck having to hold on to the dog with both hands because it was half drowned and I couldn't really see anything because the kangaroo just attacked me．"
He added，"All I could do was just keep pushing for the bank and he was trying to push me under the water，so at that point I struck him in the throat and that made him back off a little bit．
"I don't think I'll ever be able to watch kangaroo programs quite the same as I used to-it might bring back a couple of bad memories．"
Kangaroos rarely attack people but will fight if they feel threatened．
Dogs often chase kangaroos，which have been known to lead the pets into water and defend themselves there．
Rickard said he ended the attack by hitting the kangaroo in the throat adding Rocky was"half-drowned"when he pulled him from the water．
59．Rickard and his pet dog were attacked whenC．
A．swimming in the pond
