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 up 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 learnt about Ridgway’s cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, the decided that this would be his future. ‎ In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled up and over rocky rice. ‎ 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. ‎ ‎21.

It’s certainly one interesting theory that technology may be the cause of this in some way,” White added. ‎ ‎ A quarter of these using outdated computers in Britain said they were “quite” or “ very dissatisfied “ with their everyday job compared to the percent of those who had enjoyed an advantage from up-to-date technology. ‎ ‎ The survey also said that among workers dealing with outdated equipment, there was a 35 percent greater probability they would take six or more days of sick leave per year compared with the average worker.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 old 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 ‎ ‎ Results also showed that women in the three countries were more likely to be using outdated equipment.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 than of men. ‎ ‎ White pointed out that there were tow sides to this problem, saying that continuously having to deal with new technology and equipment can also be a source of worry. “Old and faulty equipment is a major cause of office dissatisfaction. There is 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.” ‎ ‎33. The underlined word “this” (paragraph 3) refers to ______. ‎ ‎ A. workplace dissatisfaction B. computer use in most jobs ‎ ‎ C. the aging off office computers D. the survey by care4@ free. net ‎ ‎34. How many office workers use old computers in Britain expressed their dissatisfaction? ‎ ‎ A. 16% B. 25% C. 35% D. 55% ‎ ‎35. 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 b satisfied with new technology. ‎ 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ With the development of Science and technology，mobile phones have been an important communication tool in our modern life． 36 ．‎ ‎ First, 37 If we have a mobile phone，it is possible for US to access anyone at any time and anywhere．We could call our clients and customers for business． And we can send messages，including text and picture messages to our friends for personal affairs．‎ ‎ Besides，mobile phones have been multi．functional nowadays since their advanced development．We can use them. take photos instead of digital cameras．They can download information from computers directly．They can be used as radios or recorders or for playing music． 38 ‎ ‎ 39 Sometimes we would not like to be available to anybody at any time；sometimes we receive go many rubbish messages． In conclusion， 40 ．They are really a great invention，which makes our life more convenient and colorful!‎ ‎ A.
