Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

1.What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?

A. Soccer and golf. B. Skiing and skating.

C. Cycling and hockey. D. Mountaineering.

2.The underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _ _____.

A. strong emotion B. good way

C. better feeling D. enough affection

3.Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because_______.

A. it has man-made rules

B. it is too dangerous for climbers

C. it is free for climbers to use their own methods

D. it can’t bring people joy or leisure

4.We know from the passage that _______.

A. mountaineering has no appeal for people

B. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers

C. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirty

D. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps

5.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Sports in winter B. Team work in climbing

C. Mountaineering D. The quality for mountaineering

Along with global warming and the Ebola virus，this year, something far less life-and society-threatening also spiraled out of control：email．

It was long ago invented as something to make us more productive．But what productivity expert would ever say that it's a good thing that instead of working，we now“answer email? Or that on some days，I am unwilling to leave my desk to head into a meeting because it means taking my finger off the keyboard and knowing 1 will return to a flood of new messages waiting patiently for my total attention?

Some people struggle for“inbox zero”．But like many people，I now get so much junk mail that if I were to adopt such a goal，I would spend every workday doing nothing but deleting emails．To make sure nothing important gets buried，I have developed an embarrassinglv old system of keeping a pen-and-paper list of emails that need responses on a series of Post-It notes．As far back as 2007，F(xiàn)red Wilson famously declared “email bankruptcy”．I'm close to doing the Same．

But I may not need to．I predict that 2015 will mark the beginning of the end of emails．Already, some tools have emerged(出現(xiàn))over the years，like software Freedom which disables access to the Internet for chosen periods of time．Corporations have gradually been adopting stricter email policies：A few years ago，Volkswagen said it would stop sending emails from its servers to company-owned BlackBerrys after the end of its workday．

But this great hope is largely the optimist in me speaking，and I give this prediction small chances compared to some of our others．As Tony Hsieh once told me，the problem with email is that it is a“good—enough”solution．Some technologies stay around just because there isn’t anything better．It’s probably right．But my wish is that 2015 is the year when truly effective email management solutions go from good to great-and that email volume goes from crazy to reasonable．We’ll a11 be better for it．

1.The underlined word “spiraled” in Paragraph l probably means “_____________”.

A．increased rapidly B．moved in circle

C．changed unexpectedly D．a(chǎn)ppeared suddenly

2.The writer is unwilling to attend a meeting because____________.

A．he has to return with quantities of emails

B．a(chǎn)nswering emails calls for great attention

C．more emails will flood in waiting for him to check

D．he doesn’t want to take his fingers off the keyboard

3.From Paragraph 3，we may infer that____________.

A．the goal “inbox zero” is hard to obtain

B．the writer is devoted to deleting emails

C．pens and paper are highly favored at work

D．Fred Wilson famously declared “email bankruptcy”

4.The writer may agree that____________.

A．emails will come to an end

B．emails will still hold a place

C．existing email management is perfect

D．emails will never be sent to BlackBerrys

The girl was hanging by her hands from the railings of a balcony(陽臺的欄桿). The balcony was on the twelfth floor of the high-rise block next to his. His flat was on the ninth floor and he had to look up to see her. It was half-past six in the morning. He had been awakened by the sound of an aircraft flying dangerously low overhead, and had got out of bed to look. His sleepy eyes, moved from the blue sky which was empty of cloud, empty of anything but the bright disappearing arrow of the aircraft, and then rested on the hanging figure.

He really thought he must be dreaming, for this sunrise time was the hour for dreams. Then, when he knew he wasn’t, he decided it must be a scene in a film. There were cameramen down there, a whole film unit, and all the correct safety precautions had been taken. Probably the girl wasn’t even a real girl, but a dummy(假人). He opened the window and looked down. The car park, paved courts, grass spaces between the blocks, all were deserted. On the balcony rail one of the dummy’s hands moved, desperately. He had to believe then what was obviously happening. The girl was trying to kill herself. She had lost her courage and now was trying to stay alive. All these thoughts and conclusions of his occupied about thirty seconds. Then he acted. He picked up the phone and dialed the emergency number for the police.

The arrival of the police cars and the rescue of the girl became the focus of talk for the people of the two blocks. Someone found out that it was he who had called the police and he became an unwilling hero. He was a modest, quiet young man, and was in relief when the talk began to die away. Again he was able to enter and leave his flat without being pointed at as a kind of St George and sometimes even congratulated.

About a fortnight after that morning, he was getting ready to go to the theatre, just putting on his overcoat, when the doorbell rang. He didn’t recognize the girl who stood outside. He had never seen her face. She said, “I’m Lydia Simpson. You saved my life. I’ve come to thank you.”

1.What did the man do first after he got up?

A. He looked down from the window.

B. He went to see the noisy aircraft.

C. He called the police to save the girl.

D. He hurried to check who was outside.

2.The moment the man saw the girl hanging there, he felt it was _________.

A. scaring B. desperate

C. unbelievable D. dangerous

3.We can learn from the passage that __________.

A. the man disliked to be talked about

B. the girl was unwilling to be rescued

C. the police arrived quickly on the scene

D. the girl was actually an actress in a film
