Fifty-three years ago Barbie Millicent Roberts first appeared in the world of toys. Since then, Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most successful toy doll in history. Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.
However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present. There are many similar dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life thirteen years ago. She looks more like today's pop stars with heavy makeup (浓妆) and miniskirts. And her company offers more kinds of clothes too.
It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls. "For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much fun. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern," says Vera Shepherd, a shop assistant in a New York toy store.
It is good news that on the international market, Barbie is still No.1. Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. In January 2009, Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designers for their own Barbies.
Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie's 53rd birthday.Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new dresses for Barbie. How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls? It is hard to say, but 53 is surely not the age to retire (退休).

A. Roberts B. Millicent C. Shepherd D. Bratz

In the modern world, pressure is a serious problem. Today, most student are under too much pressure. Some students can't get on well with their classmates. While others may worry about their tests. Even they can't get enough and good sleep. I'm always under pressure, too.
How can we solve the pressure problems? Here are my suggestions.
The first, tell your pressure to someone. I think a conversation with parents or teachers is necessary to solve the problem. We can talk our problems with our teachers or parents. My parents want me to be the top student in class. So they send me to all kinds of training classes at weekends. I feel tired and unhappy. Last Monday evening, I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy. I really felt tired. I needed time to relax. My mother agreed with me at last.
The second, learn to relax yourself. I think the most important way to relieve us from our pressure is to learn to relax ourselves. In order to relax ourselves, we can turn to some of our hobbies and interests. Different students have different ways. For example, we can listen to music, watch TV, or read some books. But for me I often exercise. I enjoy it. I think taking exercise can not only rest our brains and eyes but also help build our bodies. I think sports are really helpful to both my health and my study. We can also go for a trip. We can visit somewhere beautiful and peaceful to relax. And we can get close to the nature.

Denmark is one of the world's happiest countries, according to the World Happiness Report. Denmark is neither the richest nor the biggest country. So what makes its 5.7 million people so happy?
Denmark is famous for its health care and education. And their lifestyle is also the reason why Danish people are so happy.
Have you heard of the word "hygge"? In English, the word can be translated to coziness(舒适). But hygge is more than that: having a tasty meal with family, talking with friends in the sunshine on weekends, enjoying classical music or having a movie night. All these things can be called hygge, which is Danish people's everyday life.
Danish people also have a healthy habit: riding bicycles. In Denmark's capital, Copenhagen, bikes are used about 50 percent of the time on the way to school or work. Biking is not only helpful to reduce pollution for the environment. It is also good for people's health. Just 30 minutes of biking every day adds an average of one to two years to a person's life expectancy(预期).
Trust is also important for Danish people. They trust people they don't even know. In Aarhus, the second biggest city of Denmark, you can see people buy flowers even when the owner isn't there. People just put the money in the empty flowerpot. Trust helps make people happy.
41.Danish people are happy because of the following EXCEPT ________.
A. their large population B. their health care system
C. their education system D. their lifestyle
42.Which of the following may NOT be called "hygge"?
A. Having a big dinner with family members.
B. Chatting with friends on weekends.
C. Working hard in the sunshine.
D. Watching movies at night.

A. Many Danish people often ride bikes to work.
B. Danish people have to ride bikes 30 minutes a day.
C. Danish people trust others so they live longer.
D. Danish people don't have dreams.
44.How does the writer tell us Danish people trust others?
A. By using numbers.
B. By writing about his own experiences.
C. By following the order of time.
D. By giving examples.
45.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The welfare system in Denmark. B. The cozy lifestyle of the Danish.

We often see people waiting in line at supermarkets, theaters and amusement parks. Surprisingly, they even have to wait in line at Qomolangma.
During this year's climbing season, crowds of climbers became a long line near Qomolangma. The line is above the mountain's highest one—about 8,000 meters above sea level.
However, most people can only spend a few minutes at the summit without extra oxygen supplies (氧气补给). Twenty-one mountaineers have died in the Himalayan mountains so far this year. Non-experience and poor weather have been the most common causes of death, USA Today reported.
Why do so many people risk their lives to climb the mountain?
Studies suggest that people who take risks tend to believe they are different from people who avoid risky activities. But for adventurers who are drawn to the Himalayas, reaching the summit of Qomolangma is a lifelong dream, according to Discovery News.
"Qomolangma is like a light that attracts people once they hear about it." US mountaineer Alan Arnette said.
Technological advances have also encouraged more people to climb the mountain. People can get high-tech safety equipment more easily than before. And with the Internet, climbers know better than ever about how to reach the summit safely, Yahoo Travel noted.
The best time to climb the Himalayas is during the months of April and May, as well as some days in September and October.
46.Where do crowds of climbers wait in line?
A. At the top of Qomolangma.
B. Far from Qomolangma.
C. On the back of Qomolangma.
D. Near Qomolangma about 8,000 meters above sea level.
47.Some died because of ______ during mountain climbing.
A. hunger B. the hot weather C. non-experience D. health problems
48.What does the underlined word "equipment" mean in Chinese?
A. 措施 B. 设备 C. 季节 D. 信息
49.When is the best time to climb the Himalayas?
A. In early autumn. B. In early spring.
C. In summer. D. In winter.
50.What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to climb Qomolangma
B. Ways to Qomolangma
C. Reasons for climbing Qomolangma
D. A long history of climbing Qomolangma

A
Fifty-three years ago Barbie Millicent Roberts first appeared in the world of toys. Since then, Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most successful toy doll in history. Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.
However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present. There are many similar dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life thirteen years ago. She looks more like today's pop stars with heavy makeup (浓妆) and miniskirts. And her company offers more kinds of clothes too.
It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls. "For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much fun. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern," says Vera Shepherd, a shop assistant in a New York toy store.
It is good news that on the international market, Barbie is still No.1. Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. In January 2009, Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designers for their own Barbies.
Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie's 53rd birthday.Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new dresses for Barbie. How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls? It is hard to say, but 53 is surely not the age to retire (退休).

C. other dolls are trying to beat her in the market
D. it has become less popular in the international market

But for me I often exercise. I enjoy it. I think taking exercise can not only rest our brains and eyes but also help build our bodies.

Denmark is one of the world's happiest countries, according to the World Happiness Report. Denmark is neither the richest nor the biggest country. So what makes its 5.7 million people so happy?
Denmark is famous for its health care and education. And their lifestyle is also the reason why Danish people are so happy.
Have you heard of the word "hygge"? In English, the word can be translated to coziness(舒适). But hygge is more than that: having a tasty meal with family, talking with friends in the sunshine on weekends, enjoying classical music or having a movie night. All these things can be called hygge, which is Danish people's everyday life.
Danish people also have a healthy habit: riding bicycles. In Denmark's capital, Copenhagen, bikes are used about 50 percent of the time on the way to school or work. Biking is not only helpful to reduce pollution for the environment. It is also good for people's health. Just 30 minutes of biking every day adds an average of one to two years to a person's life expectancy(预期).
Trust is also important for Danish people. They trust people they don't even know. In Aarhus, the second biggest city of Denmark, you can see people buy flowers even when the owner isn't there. People just put the money in the empty flowerpot. Trust helps make people happy.
41.Danish people are happy because of the following EXCEPT ________.
A. their large population B. their health care system
C. their education system D. their lifestyle
42.Which of the following may NOT be called "hygge"?
A. Having a big dinner with family members.
B. Chatting with friends on weekends.
C. Working hard in the sunshine.
D. Watching movies at night.
43.What can we learn from the last three paragraphs?
A. Many Danish people often ride bikes to work.
B. Danish people have to ride bikes 30 minutes a day.
C. Danish people trust others so they live longer.
D. Danish people don't have dreams.
44.How does the writer tell us Danish people trust others?
A. By using numbers.
B. By writing about his own experiences.
C. By following the order of time.
D. By giving examples.
45.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The welfare system in Denmark. B. The cozy lifestyle of the Danish.
C. The happiest place in Denmark. D. The expectations of the Danish.
【答案】A、C、A、D、B
【解析】
41. 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句So what makes its 5.7 million people so happy?可推知,Denmark并不是人口众多的国家;又根据第二段可推知,丹麦人生活幸福基本源于完善的医疗、教育环境以及生活方式,因此只有A项的表述不正确,所以A项为正确答案。
42. 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句But hygge is more than that: having a tasty meal with family, talking with friends in the sunshine on weekends, enjoying classical music or having a movie night.可推知,A、B、D三项的描述都属于hygge,只有C项不属于,因此C项为正确答案。
43. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句...bikes are used about 50 percent of the time on the way to school or work.可推知在丹麦,人们经常骑车去上学或者上班,因此A项是正确的;根据本段最后一句Just 30 minutes of biking every day adds an average of one to two years to a person's life expectancy(预期).可推知,每天骑车30分钟可延长寿命,文中并未涉及B项,因此B项是不正确的;根据最后一段最后一句Trust helps make people happy.可推知,信任使丹麦人觉得幸福,所以C项的表述也不正确;同时文章中并未提及丹麦人的梦想,因此D项的描述也不正确,所以A项是正确答案。
44. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中...you can see people buy flowers even when the owner isn't there. People just put the money in the empty flowerpot.可推知,作者通过讲述一个买花的例子,举例说明丹麦人是如何信任他人的,所以D项为正确答案。
45. 略
D
We often see people waiting in line at supermarkets, theaters and amusement parks. Surprisingly, they even have to wait in line at Qomolangma.
During this year's climbing season, crowds of climbers became a long line near Qomolangma. The line is above the mountain's highest one—about 8,000 meters above sea level.
However, most people can only spend a few minutes at the summit without extra oxygen supplies (氧气补给). Twenty-one mountaineers have died in the Himalayan mountains so far this year. Non-experience and poor weather have been the most common causes of death, USA Today reported.
Why do so many people risk their lives to climb the mountain?
Studies suggest that people who take risks tend to believe they are different from people who avoid risky activities. But for adventurers who are drawn to the Himalayas, reaching the summit of Qomolangma is a lifelong dream, according to Discovery News.
"Qomolangma is like a light that attracts people once they hear about it." US mountaineer Alan Arnette said.
Technological advances have also encouraged more people to climb the mountain. People can get high-tech safety equipment more easily than before. And with the Internet, climbers know better than ever about how to reach the summit safely, Yahoo Travel noted.
The best time to climb the Himalayas is during the months of April and May, as well as some days in September and October.
46.Where do crowds of climbers wait in line?
A. At the top of Qomolangma.
B. Far from Qomolangma.
C. On the back of Qomolangma.
D. Near Qomolangma about 8,000 meters above sea level.
47.Some died because of ______ during mountain climbing.
A. hunger B. the hot weather C. non-experience D. health problems
48.What does the underlined word "equipment" mean in Chinese?
A. 措施 B. 设备 C. 季节 D. 信息
49.When is the best time to climb the Himalayas?
A. In early autumn. B. In early spring.
C. In summer. D. In winter.
50.What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to climb Qomolangma
B. Ways to Qomolangma
C. Reasons for climbing Qomolangma
D. A long history of climbing Qomolangma
【答案】D、C、B、A、C
【解析】【文章大意】本文主要分析了登珠峰很危险,为什么还有这么多人去冒险的原因。
46. 第二段先后提到near Qomolangma和about 8,000 meters above sea level可知,登山的人们在海拔约8000米处的珠峰附近排队。故选D。
47. 由第三段中Non-experience and poor weather have been the most common causes of death可知,缺乏经验和恶劣的天气是最常见的死亡原因。故选C。
48. 根据倒数第二段Technological advances have also encouraged more people to climb the mountain. People can get high-tech safety equipment more easily than before.(科技的进步也鼓励了更多的人去爬山。人们可以比以前更容易地获得高科技安全……。)可知,此处介绍的是高科技的设备给登山带来的便利。equipment意为“设备”。故选B。
49. 由最后一段中The best time to climb the Himalayas is during the months of April and May, as well as some days in September and October.可知,攀登喜马拉雅山的最佳时间是在4月和5月,以及9月和10月。这属于晚春和初秋季节。故选A。
50. 根据第四段Why do so many people risk their lives to climb the mountain?并结合文章内容可知,本文主要分析了登珠峰很危险,为什么还有这么多人去冒险的原因。因此C项“攀登珠穆朗玛峰的原因”适合作为本文标题,故选C。
