Many climbers now enjoy bouldering. Its more accessible and better for the environment.What is boulderin
4、g?Bouldering is a sport that involves climbing on, over, and around boulders up to approximately twenty feet above the ground. Participants employ no safety ropes.Why boulder? improve your climbing skills by focusing on basics places to climb, such as climbing walls at gyms and parks, easy to findBo

6、a boulder is referred to as the “problem“ that one must solve. The “solution“ is the sequence of moves one makes up and over a boulder.Here is an example of a climber addressing a bouldering problem.Figure 1: The climber has two routes she could take, one to the left and one to the right. The left o
7、ne appears easier because it has a jug within easy reach, but look what happens if she chooses that direction. She gets stuck on the rock and has to go back down. Sometimes that is even more difficult than going up.Figure 2: The climber takes the one to the right this time. Using a foothold and plac
8、ing her right hand in a crimp, she is able to lift herself up and locate other handholds. After only a few moves, she is able to throw her leg over the top of the boulder and pull herself up.21 Bouldering becomes popular because _.Ait challenges the limits Bit costs lessC it builds minds and bodies

10、 the ice rink. “We love hockey,” says Marion Alexander, a Canadian English teacher in Beijing. “It really is Canadas sport.”There is no other sport so close to the hearts of Canadians and no other sport in which Canadians have been so successful. But how much do you know about hockey?Hockey is playe
11、d on a court of ice called a rink. Each team has six players: a goalie (goal keeper), a centre, two defensemen, and two forwards. All of them wear ice skates.Instead of a ball, hockey uses a puck, which is a small black object that looks like a small, flat round cake made of rubber. Each team tries
12、their best to hit the puck with their hockey sticks into the other teams goal. The team which scores the most goals at the end of three periods is the winner.“Hockey has a lot of rules,” says Alexander, “but once you are used to it, it seems very natural.”In Canada, hockey is part of the national id
13、entity. Many Canadians play youth hockey when they are growing up, and many Canadian families make a tradition of watching the games.“I played goalie when I was younger,” remembers Alexander. “My family would always watch the Calgary Flames (a team in the National Hockey League) play on TV.”Hockey d
14、oesnt just unite families. It also brings the whole country together, especially during the Olympics. “Canada is a diverse country that doesnt have a strong unified culture like China. That is why hockey is so important. Supporting the national team brings all of Canada together,” says Alexander.24
15、The passage is mainly about _.Athe origin and development of hockey BCanadians diverse sports cultureC Marion Alexanders view of hockey Dthe role of hockey in Canadian culture25 Hockey is important to Canadians for all of the following reasons except _.Ait is Canadians favourite sport Bit is an even
16、t at the OlympicsC it is part of the national identity Dit helps unite the whole country26 What does the underlined sentence imply?ACanada is more diverse than China.BCanadians are not as united as the Chinese.C There are not many things that bring all Canadian people together.DThere are not so many
17、 sports in Canada as in China.27 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?AHockey Brings Canadians Together BHow to Play HockeyC The National Identity for Canadians DFinding Canadian CultureCMore than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, lots of which wer
18、e stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949. About 1.67mill ion pieces are housed no more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.Most of these treasur
19、es are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23, 000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.The major method to recover these national treasures was
20、to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels in to demand the return of relics.In 2003, a priceless bronze pigs head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by
21、 the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur(企业家)Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.Although buying-back is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is alwa
22、ys a big headache.In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevant information. It has signed several international
23、 agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.28 What is the passage mainly about?AThe ways to recover cultural relics.BThe efforts to recover Chinese cultural relics
24、.C Stanley Ho donated a bronze pigs head to Beijing.DChinese cultural relics were stolen by the Anglo-French Allied Army.29 We can infer from the passage that _.AChina has enough money to buy all the cultural relics backBthe Chinese government has done a lot to recover the lost cultural relicsC many
25、 countries have returned the lost cultural relics to China for freeDChina is preparing to set up a database to collect information about the lost cultural relics30 Which of the following statements about the bronze pigs head is NOT true?AIt was made in the Qing Dynasty.BIt is now in the Poly Art Mus
26、eum in BeijingC It was donated by the French government to China.DIt was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago31 The underlined word “feasible“ in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “_”.Apossible Bdifficult Cwonderful DcarefulDCurrent Culture: Is Common Culture Alive?The digitizing
27、and globalizing world is changing the working of culture. As some see it, cities and nations are losing their common culture and their general spirit: people can no longer count on those around them valuing any of the same music or films. Others argue that a common culture is not dying so much as ch
28、anging forms: it is less and less attached to a particular area and ever more linked to global networks. The facts lead to the change that anyone can become a cultural producer today, that the culture is increasingly available everywhere you want it, and whenever you want it, not just in the two mon
29、ths after the movie or book came out. Cultural possibilities have multiplied as a result, but the change also means fewer cultural moments. It is easy to find the change in terms of loss of diversity of society. So what will it mean if globalization turns us into one wide world culture?For the enthu
30、siasts of these changes, culture is not about popular artists or books, but centers on platforms like Google and Wikipedia, where every variety of culture brings about the exchange of knowledge and ideas, and makes connections across boundaries. It is perhaps debatable whether two people who have pa
31、rticipated in such websites, but in totally different corners of them, have had a cultural experience in common. In fact, these platforms become very successful with a large crowd of people, who build things together, share information, and forward articles back and forth. There are still more quest
32、ions. What does it mean for the future of countries that culture now goes beyond the limits of the nation? Is there anything to defend and preserve in the passing cultural world, or is that merely to favor pen over printing press, horse over automobile? Up to now a growing quantity of culture has be
33、en globally spreading and developing. More individuals (个人) than ever have the chances to be makers of culture, even if that means more to choose from and fewer standards to be reached in common. What it means is this strange feeling: that of being more connected than ever, with one-click access to
34、so much of the cultural harvest around the world, and yet, of being starved for having similar interests and opinions with others, concerned only with ourselves.32. In Paragraph 1 the author indicates _.Athe missing of common cultureBthe cultural diversity among peopleC the disadvantage in the digit
35、izing societyDthe double standard of cultural evaluation33. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that _.Apeople feel satisfied with the current cultureBenthusiasts look for current culture from famous artistsC disappearance of common culture is a problem to be solvedDcommon culture may exit into webs
36、ites that connect the world34. According to the author, the increase of cultural possibilities can be caused by _.Aagreement with common culture Bindividuals as cultural producersC popular artists and books available Da reduction in development of culture35. What is the authors attitude towards curr
37、ent culture?AUninterested. BApproving. CUncertain.
