Multicolored 21 of various shapes and sizes filled th
10、e bright sky like beautiful birds darting(飞奔) and 22 . As the strong wind blew against the kites, a 23 kept them under control. Instead of blowing away with the wind they arose 24 it to achieve great 25 . They shook and pulled, 26 the control string and the long tail 27 them in tow(牵引), facing upwar
11、d and against the wind. As the kites 28 and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be 29 !” They soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction(约束) of the string. 30 , one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “ Free at last,” it seemed to say.
12、“Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom from 31 simply put it at the 32 of an unsympathetic breeze. It dropped ungracefully to the ground and 33 in the wild mass of weeds, string against a dead bush. “Free at last” - free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown 34 along the ground, and to lodge li
13、feless against the first obstruction.How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversities and restrictions, rules to 35 from which we can grow and gain strength. Control is a 36 counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of us tug at the rules so hard that we 37 soar to reach the
14、heights we might have obtained. We keep part of the commandment and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us 38 rise to the great heights, 39 that some of the controls that we may be unhappy about are actually the steadying force that helps us 40 and achieve.21 Acreations B unif

18、ess there is a united global effort to hold back greenhouse gas outpouring. In the decades to come, Asia-home to more than half the worlds 63 billion people-will change from one climate extreme to another, with tired farmers battling droughts, floods, disease, food shortages and rising sea levels.“I
19、ts not a pretty picture,” said Steve Sawyer, climate policy adviser with Greenpeace in Amsterdam. Global warming and changes of weather patterns are already occurring and there is more than enough carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to drive climate change for decades to come
20、.Already, changes are being felt in Asia but worse is likely to come, Sawyer and top climate bodies say, and could lead to mass migration and widespread human disasters. According to predictions, icebergs will melt faster, some Pacific and Indian Ocean islands will have to evacuate or build sea defe
21、nses, storms will become more intense and insect-and water-borne diseases will move into new areas as the world warms.All this comes on top of rising populations and earnest demand for food, water and other resources. Experts say environmental worsening such as deforestation and pollution will likel
22、y enlarge the results of climate change.In what could be a sign of the future, Japan was hit by a record of 10 typhoons and tropical storms this year, while two-thirds of Bangladesh, parts of Nepal and large areas of northeastern India were flooded, affecting 50 million people, destroying livelihood
23、s and making tens of thousands ill.The year before, a winter cold strike and a summer heat wave killed more than 2,000 people in India.41This passage is mainly about .Awhat kind of weather we like best Bthe weather predictions for Asia in the future and the reasons Chow to improve our environmentDth

25、 according to the passage?AAsian climate will change greatly.BSome islands may be flooded in the future.CMore than 50 million people have been killed in Asia the year before.Dpeople may meet with some new diseases borne from water.BIn a society such as the United States or Canada, which has many nat
26、ional, religious and cultural differences, people highly value individualism-the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize all possible basic kno
27、wledge. Instead, they work individually and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.In most Asia societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reaso
28、n, the educational system in much of the orient reflects societys belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments.There are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education. For example,
29、 one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more about math, physics, biology and chemistry than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares stud
30、ents for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.The advantage of the educational sys
31、tem in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from school, they havent memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other
32、countries have.45The writers purpose of writing this passage is .Ato share his idea with others in a new wayBto introduce two different systems of education through contrastCto criticize the society that values memorization Dto prepare students for society46Which is NOT true according to the passage
33、?AThe system of education in the West is more creative than that in the EastBJapanese students learn much more about science than American students.CCanadian students are more individual than Korean students.DStudents in North America are not so friendly as those in Asia.47From the facts, we can inf
34、er that .AAsian students are more likely to do better in teamwork than American studentsBChinese students are more hard-working in their studies than Mexican studentsCthe Western educational system is much better than the Eastern educational system.Dthe Eastern educational system is as difficult as
35、the Western educational system.48What is the best title for the passage?AAdvantages and Disadvantages of Educational System.BThe Value of Individualism.CEducational System-an Obvious Difference between the East and the West.DMemorization-an Important Learning Method.CAn Australian man has beaten 75
36、other contestants from around the world to win a race up the stairs of the worlds tallest building, Taipei 101.Paul Crake,30, ran up 91 floors containing 2,046 steps in 10 minutes, 29 seconds. Mr. Crake, who has won a similar race up the Empire State Building five times, won $5,920 in prize money. T
37、he womens race was won by Austrian Andrea Mayr, who finished in 12 minutes,38 seconds and also won a $5,920 prize.Austrian Rudolf Reitheiger, who beat Mr. Crake in this years Empire State Building Race, came second in the mens competition.Mr. Crake and Ms. Mayr missed out on the offer of $30,000 for
38、 completing the grueling race in under 10 or 12 minutes respectively.A further 1,001 people took part in a so-called “self-challenging” race up the skyscraper.Taipei 101 is 508 meters tall and was finished in 2003, although Chinese developers have said Shanghais World Financial Center will be taller
39、 when completed in 2007.“Tower-running” races take place up the tallest buildings and structures across the world.The Sears Tower in Chicago, the CN Tower in Toronto and the Azrieli Tower in Tel Aviv have all held recent events.Runners also race up the longest staircase in the world-the service stai
40、rcase for the Niesenbahn railway near Spiez, Switzerland, which has 11,674 steps.At event for the longdistance stairway runners also takes place in Radebeul, Germany, where competitors run up 397 stairs 100 times to equal the height of Mt everest.49According to the passage, we can infer that there w

45、longest stairs in the world.DThere are several explanations for why the circle is divided into 360 parts. Probably the best explanation is connected with the Babylonians.Many, many centuries ago, large distances were measured in the Babylonians mile. The Babylonians mile equaled about seven of our miles. Because of its length, the time needed to travel the Babylonians mile became a measure of time. One day was said to be twelve Babylonians time-miles.About one thousand years before Christ, the Babylonians began keeping records of star movements. They needed a way to record how much ti
