Todd Dorsey is one of them. He spent $100,000 on it and prepared for a year before going to Alaska. He brought his family and friends to help him out. He must get them mining (开矿) and a place to stay. He also had to keep their spirits up and kept everyone working as a team. They had to run off bears sometimes from their camp.
They had to face the fact that their lead mechanic’s (机修工的) health was not good. They called him Harness, and he was on medication that was hard for him to take, because out in Alaska it was not easy to get to the hospital and so he didn’t enjoy good health. He was the only one who could keep things running the way they were supposed to. There was one guy that didn’t seem to get along with anyone. But didn’t there always have to be someone that didn’t get along and messed things up?
They got excited when they found a few small pieces of gold, but they needed a lot more to cover the cost of mining every day. It cost Todd $1,000 a day to run everything they needed to mine. They had to make money before the Alaska summer came to an end or they would go broke （破产）.

Most people consider skydiving (高空跳伞) a product of the 20th century, but its history actually goes further back than that. The Chinese attempted to parachute (跳伞) in the 10th century, a thousand years before we did. The Chinese did what we would today call base diving; that is, they jumped off a place that would allow them to float from a height to the ground.
The first person to attempt to parachute was a Frenchman named Jacques Garnerin. He jumped from his hot-air balloon at the end of the 18th century and did tricks on the way down and stupefied the crowds by landing safely on the ground. At the end of the 19th century, Kathie Paulus, a brave German woman, became famous for her skydiving skills.
Once the airplane was invented, skydiving took on a whole new form. The airplane made it possible to dive from greater heights at greater speeds, allowing for more range in the movements in the air. A woman named Tiny Broadwick became the first woman to jump from a plane in 1913 and dive free fall in 1914.
Skydiving was not called skydiving until the middle of the 1950s, when Ronald Young invented the word. It had been called parachuting before this and was mainly used by the military to land troops in inland locations, or for pilots to jump out of their planes when necessary. Once World War I was over, parachuting became a sport, which we now call skydiving.
After World War II, this activity became more a hobby than a military action. Soldiers were trained in parachuting and enjoyed the thrill so much that they continued on for fun. From this, teams and competitions were formed. Skydiving schools appeared in the late 1950s and now it is a recognized extreme sport enjoyed by many.
59. The underlined word “stupefied” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.
A. disappointed B. encouraged
C. surprised D. attacked
60. Who was the first woman to jump from a plane?
A. Jacques Garnerin. B. Kathie Paulus.
C. Tiny Broadwick. D. Ronald Young.
61. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The Chinese attempted different skydiving skills in the 10th century.
B. Skydiving became popular after the airplane was invented.
C. The word skydiving was first used in a military action.
D. There were no skydiving schools until the late 1950s.
62. What would be the best title for this text?
A. The history of skydiving
B. The popularity of skydiving
C. What is skydiving?
D. Why is skydiving an extreme sport?
C ★★★
Most people looking for ways to quit smoking worry about weight gain, and with good reason. Smokers who quit tend to pack on an average of 5 pounds after they stop smoking cigarettes. A new study, published by the journal Science, explains why this happens.
The new research explains that nicotine appears to combine with appetite-regulating neurons (调节食欲的神经元) in the brain, besides the receptors (感受器) that bring about addiction. These neurons help regulate how much food gets consumed, but under the influence of nicotine, they lose their self-control. This is why when smokers quit, they tend to eat more and gain weight.
The researchers believe that their discovery will lead to the development of drugs that aim at nicotine receptors on brain cells that control appetite. In the future, weight gain may no longer be a reason for smokers to delay the decision to kick the habit, but that’s no reason to wait. Nicotine-replacement treatment, while not for everyone, can help. Here are a few more ways to quit smoking and stay slim.
Drink water. To improve metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates, make half of those glasses ice water. Juice can be too high in calories, something you’ll want to keep an eye on your journey toward being a slimmer non-smoker. Plan your snacks. Healthy snacks help keep your metabolism working, so you continue to burn calories while stopping wild hunger pain, or fake hunger.
Keep moving. Exercise kills two birds with one stone. It helps you burn calories and prevents you from eating when you’re not truly hungry. It’s also a feel-
-good stress reliever (缓解物). Focus on your fitness and how being healthy makes you feel. Make exercise a goal and think of quitting as your reward for being physically fit.
63. Which of the following changes people’s appetite according to the new research?
A. Nicotine.
B. Appetite-regulating neurons.
C. The receptors that bring about addiction.
D. The food that has been consumed.
64. By saying “but that’s no reason to wait” in Paragraph 3, the author means that ______.
A. some new drugs are going to be developed soon
B. nicotine-replacement treatment cannot help everyone
C. losing weight shouldn’t be an excuse for smoking
D. some ways to quit smoking while staying slim are available
65. The author believes that ______.
A. ice water can improve metabolic rates
B. smokers should eat fewer snacks to keep slim
C. stress can lead to fake hunger
D. exercise can help one eat less
66. The purpose of the text is ______.
A. to introduce the result of a new study
B. to explain the reason why smokers become slim
C. to prove the possibility of being a slim non-smoker
D. to tell us ways to quit smoking without gaining weight
D ★★

The benefits of walking to school
Encouraging your child to walk to school has many benefits. 71
The rates of childhood obesity and illnesses such as type II Diabetes (糖尿病) can be prevented by a healthy dose of walking. 72 On average around half of all children do not do the minimum one hour a day of physical activity advised by the Health Education Authority. A quick walk to school can help them get their daily exercise and arrive at school or home, refreshed and energised.
73 There was very strong evidence that walking to school improves children’s social development. This related to social contacts, independence and road sense. The walkers reported a happy social experience. It is believed that getting a lift to school each day can lead to a child becoming lethargic (无生气的).
According to research, the average drive to school and back releases 800g of CO2 into the air. 74 If walking to school once a week can save 20 per cent of CO2 gas produced by driving every day, how much CO2 can be saved a year!
Last but not least, encouraging your child to walk to school will save you money. 75
Since walking to school has so many health, social, environmental and economical benefits, why not let your child walk from now on?
A. It is enough to blow over 60 balloons.
B. The following are some of them in different aspects.
C. Walking can have a positive effect on a child’s
emotional health.
D. You will spend less money on transport fares or petrol of course.
E. Furthermore, 50 per cent of children still don’t regularly walk to school.
F. In fact, walking helps protect the body from many serious illnesses later on in life.
G. Parents, children and teachers are asked to think about the benefits of walking to school.

Dear fellow students,
As we all know, good health is so essential to our daily life and lays the foundation for our future development.
However, in modern times, many people don’t live a healthy lifestyle due to different reasons. In my opinion, we should have a healthy diet and play sports regularly to keep physically healthy. Besides, we should take a positive attitude towards people around us so that we can keep mentally healthy. Furthermore, I strongly advise that we should never sit too long in front of computers because it is bad for our health.
I hope all of us can live healthily and happily. That’s all. Thank you!
