6.A marathon(馬拉松) is a long-distance running race.Now it is not only a competition,but some people organize marathons for charity(慈善).Runners get friends,families and other people to(51)support(支持) them.They promise to provide a certain amount of money for every race.For example,if the runner runs one(52)kilometer(千米),the providers each give the runner $1 for the charity.A(53)plenty(充足) of money can be raised this way.However,not everyone can run,so people in the USA have thought of other ways to raise money,using the idea of a marathon.
Walk-a-thons     A walk-a-thon is(54)similar(相似的) to a marathon,but people walk(55)instead(代替) of running.This is a common  way  for people to raise money.
Read-a-thons      Many schools organize read-a-thons to raise money.Students can get money(56)easily(簡單地) for the number of books they read.They might be given a certain (57)period(階段) of time to read.Little kids can (58)enter(進(jìn)入) the reading competition according to the  number of pages they read.The read-a-thons are(59)held(舉行) not only to raise money,but also to encourage teenagers to read.
Bowl-a-thons     Bowling is a(60)popular(受歡迎的) sport in the USA.In a bowl-a-thon,people raise money for every point they get in the game.The higher the score is,the more money they make for the charity.

14.In Europe,small cars have always been more popular than large cars. In the United States,large cars and midsize cars are more popular than smaller cars.As a result,European automakers used to make different kinds of small cars while American automakers used to build bigger,heavier cars.However,these days,automakers in both America and Europe produce cars of different sizes.This is because most automakers export their cars all over the world.
The price of gasoline (汽油)is one reason for differences in car choices.Since gasoline is more expensive in Europe,many Europeans want smaller,lighter cars that will travel a long way on a gallon(加侖)of gasoline.
Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision.Many European cities have narrow,winding(彎曲的) streets.In these cities a small car is easier to control than a large one.
For a long time,few Americans bought small cars.Instead they chose large cars,because these roomy cars were more comfortable for large families and long trips.Some people also liked the powerful engines(發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)) that large cars had.Since gasoline was cheap,drivers did not mind that the large cars used a lot of gasoline.
But in the 1970s,there were gasoline shortages in the United States.The price of gasoline went up.Though large cars were still more popular than smaller cars,sales of small cars increased.Some people also bought small cars because these cars caused less air pollution than larger cars.
Today,Americans'car preferences are still changing.Though Americans are still buying many small cars,the fastest growing sales are for certain kinds of large cars.These types of cars are called minivans and sport utility vehicles(SUV).They are very popular today.But of course,that could change tomorrow.
37.In the 1970s,C.
A.large cars were less popular than smaller cars.
B.European cars finally came to the United States.
C.the price of gasoline went up in the United States.
D.people in the United States stopped buying small cars.
38.Which of the following does the article lead you to believe?C
A.Sport utility vehicles small cars.
B.Minivans are becoming less popular.
C.European car companies sell many cars in America.
D.Cars with powerful engines caused less air pollution.
39.What does"roomy"in Paragraph 4mean?A
A.having much space                 
B.having little space
C.having a large room                
D.having a small room
40.What can we infer(推斷)from the article?D
A.Small cars are better than large cars.
B.The price of gasoline is always rising.
C.Large cars will always be popular in the United States.
D.People like to have different kinds of cars to choose from.

1.In 1990,Ed Viesturs started for the top of Mount Everest (29,029 feet) from a high camp at 27,000 feet.He planned to climb it without oxygen tank,something only a few climbers had managed to do.He'd failed twice,once getting with 300 feet of the top before turning back.
He left his high camp at 1a.m.,using a headlamp to find his way in the dark.He'd already been on the mountain for two months,receiving endurance and strength training in preparation for the Everest climb.He'd also lived through terrible cold,strong winds,and separation from friends and family.
"The common practice was to use oxygen when climbing,as it,in fact,lowers the altitude (海拔) of the mountain by several thousand feet,"says Viesturs."If I couldn't climb Everest without oxygen tank,I wouldn't climb it."
"You have to be physically fit,"he says."But the mental (精神的) part is big.It's so hard to keep going above 20,000 feet."
While making that final climb on Everest,he breathed 15times for every step.He would tell himself to first reach the rock 100 yards ahead.Then he'd find another rock,then another.Finally he stood on the top,with the whole world at his feet."It was one of those dream-come-true moments,"Viesturs says.
Today,Viesturs makes his living in part as a speaker,talking about his climb of Everest and of the world's 13other highest mountain,all without oxygen.He helps people find the strength to overcome their difficulties.
Finally,in his words,"The art of mountaineering is knowing when to go,when to stay,and when to turn back.We should go step when working toward our dreams.There are no shortcuts to the top."
38.What does the article mainly talk about?A
A.Viesturs'first successful climb of Mount Everest.
B.Viesturs'physical preparation for climbing Everest.
C.The difficulties that Viesturs has met in his life.
D.The lessons that Viesturs can share with others.
39.What do we know about Ed Viesturs?B
A.As soon as he reached Mount Everest,he set out for Everest climb.
B.He's been to the top of the world's 14highest mountain without oxygen.
C.Well prepared,he had no difficulty climbing the top of Mount Everest.
D.So far,he is the only one to have reached the top of Mount Everest without oxygen.
40.The first"it"in Paragraph 3 refers to (指的是)C.
A.being physical fit                         
B.climbing Everest
C.C.using oxygen when climbing                
D.climbing without oxygen
41.Which sentence should go in the empty box in the last paragraph?B
A.I like being near the top of a mountain.
B.Life is like climbing a mountain.
C.You never climb the mountain twice.
D.Over every mountain there is a path.
