Camp Extreme is the perfect test of your heart. Kite Surfing It’s the exciting mixture of kite, board and waves. The idea of using a kite to accelerate speed seems like a new challenge, yet the art of kite flying dates back to the 13th-century Chinese when it was used as a simple means of transport. Catch a wind and you’re moving — up, down and across the surf. “It’s always exciting. You’d jump 5 feet or 35 feet. You never know if you’re going to go up in the air, and your heart is just going boom, boom, boom.” Coasteering It is by far the best activity and the event that everyone is still talking about. This is exploring the coastline without worrying about a coastal path or finding a rocky bay blocking your route. You climb, dive and swim from one place to another.‎ ‎ With Coasteering, you don’t have to be able to swim as the wet suit and buoyancy(浮力) aid will keep you floating when you are in the water. Sky Diving Traditional parachuting(跳伞) doesn’t sound risky enough. So now sky diving is the name for jumping from a plane and listening to your heart beating heavily as you move fast towards the earth before you open your parachute at the last moment. Mountain Biking It’s been around so long that bikers are no longer satisfied with just going up and down a mountain. Mountain biking is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough land, using specially adapted mountain bikes. Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes, but include features designed to improve strength and performance in rough areas. For details, please call us on 1300-792-668 or click here: www.xtremecamp.com.au. 21. All the four extreme sports are mainly intended to test one’s _____.‎ ‎ A. heart beat B. physical health ‎ ‎ C. courage D. potential strength ‎22. The underlined word in the second paragraph “it” refers to _____.‎ ‎ A. kite surfing B. a kite C. kite flying D. the art of kites ‎23. Which of the following sports can be the most risky?‎ ‎ A. Kite surfing B. Coasteering ‎ ‎ C. Sky diving D. Mountain biking ‎24. We can infer from the passage that _______.‎ ‎ A. kites were the main means of transport in China ‎ B. swimming skills play a key role in Coasteering ‎ C. parachuting is the least popular sports at present ‎ D. mountain biking requires more than riding common bikes ‎ B ‎ My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.‎ ‎ Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill.And it was a cold April day.The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.‎ ‎ I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.‎ ‎ Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.‎ ‎ The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.‎ ‎ Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack.The first time I felf panic. Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family remainded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.‎ ‎25. The whole text is mainly arranged in_________.‎ ‎ A. result and inference B. cause and effect ‎ C. space order D. time order ‎26. The bear finally went away after it _________ .‎ ‎ A. felt safe B. got injured ‎ C. found some food D. took away the camera ‎27. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their _________ .‎ ‎ A. calmness B. patience C. pride D. cautiousness ‎28. When the bear moved back towards the forest, the family felt ________ .‎ ‎ A. excited B. threatened C. relieved D. puzzled ‎ C ‎ Who’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your strings? For the majority of us, it’s other people – society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it,“Most people are other people.Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿), their passions a quotation.” So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug—we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives,failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(一剂毒品), we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval． But just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they’re more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process. So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way: make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values—not values imposed from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.‎ ‎ 29.What Oscar Wilde says implies that ____________ . A.we have thoughts similar to those of others B.most people have a variety of thoughts C.other people’s thoughts are more important D.most people’s thoughts are controlled by others 30.What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph? A.Changing opinions may cost us our freedom B.We may lose ourselves to please others C.We need to pay for what we want to get D.The price of taking the drug is freedom 31.It can be concluded from the passage that____________ . A.we shouldn’t care what others think B. it’s better to do what we like C.we shouldn’t change our own opinions D.it's important to accept others’ opinions 32.The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by ________ .. A.analyzing causes and effects B.providing examples and facts C.discussing questions D.making suggestions ‎ D If you could have one superpower, what would it be?‎ Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life.‎ Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.‎ They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others.‎ We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after ‎ your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?‎ Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.‎ ‎ 33.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ ‎ A. Your life style. B. Your life value.‎ ‎ C. Your trouble in life. D. Your life experience.‎ ‎34.Why does the author say they are inspired every day?‎ ‎ A.They possess different kinds of superpowers.‎ ‎ B. They have got the power to change the world.‎ ‎ C. Some people around them are making the world better.‎ ‎ D. There are many powerful people in their life and work.‎ ‎35.What does the author stress in Paragraph 5?‎ ‎ A. Learning more and contributing more to a cause.‎ ‎ B. Rising above self and acting to help others.‎ ‎ C. Working hard to get a bigger opportunity.‎ ‎ D. Trying your best to help the poor.‎ 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。 ‎ ‎ Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you will have to stand up and say—problem, I don’t want you in my life.‎ ‎ 36 Problems with friends, parents , girlfriends, husbands and children— the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.‎ ‎ But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems.‎ ‎ Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 37 Talking helps you move on and let go.‎ ‎ Write your problems. 38 When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.‎ ‎ Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith. 39 ‎ ‎ Your problems are not the worst.
