Raised on a farm in the Alps,Saudan didn't have the resources to train as a competitive skier, and worked as a laborer and truck driver before becoming a ski instructor.Teaching through icy winters in Scotland helped prepare him for deadly slopes.After skiing the Spencer Couloir,he spent twenty years "looking for greater challenges and testing new methods,"said The Washington Post. He developed a new skiing style and introduced equipment innovations for steep slopes,but ignored safety measures as he shot down Oregon's Mount Hood,Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro,and Nepal's Dhaulagiri. Saudan completed his last major journey in 1986 by skiing down Mount Fuji on bare rocks, walking away without a single cut.He "spent his life challenging gravity,avalanches ()and obituary (writers,"said The New York Times.He insisted that mental preparation helped keep fear cornered,yet death was never far from his mind."There's really only one way out,"he said, “Don't fall down.” 24.How did people react to Saudan's achievement on the Spencer Couloir's 55-degree slope? A.They considered it as a fact at once. B.They were not aware of it completely. C.They thought of him as a skiing pioneer. D.They doubted it till evidence(证据)arrived. 25.Which of the following can best describe Saudan? A.Adventurous and devoted. B.Brave and generous. C.Creative but frightened. D.Reserved but famous. 26.Why did Saudan go skiing? A.To test new skiing equipment. B.To push himself to new limits. C.To keep track of adventures for fame. D.To escape his past life as a laborer. 第4页/共10页 27.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A.Sylvain Saudan:A Life-long Laborer and Truck Driver B.Sylvain Saudan:The Pioneer of Extreme Skiing C.Sylvain Saudan:A Fearless Alpine Farmer D.Sylvain Saudan:The Creator of Skiing Styles C Many people have an immediate negative reaction to the word fat But according to a new study, fat tissue (itself is very,very important for health.It's an important place to store the extra energy in our body.Fat tissue is supposed to be stored under the skin.If it can't go there,it's going to other places such as your liver,heart or pancreas().More fat in those organs could affect how well they function.Exercising regularly over time makes fat tissue a more accommodating place for extra energy under conditions when we do gain weight. To see how exercise impacts fat tissue,researchers compared fat tissue just under the skin from two groups of 16 people with overweight problem:those who reported exercising at least four times a week for at least 2 years,and those who did not exercise regularly.People who had a history of regular exercise in the past had fat cells with features that allowed them to store more fat. Result from the former group showed several structural changes in fat tissue,including slightly smaller fat cells and more of them,and changes in proteins (that adjust body fat remodeling. However,many of the above changes disappeared when regular exercise stopped.Dr.Horowitz, professor of movement studies at the University of Michigan,said,"This is one of the big reasons why it is so important to be physically active most days.A lot of the body's exercises help you to keep going longer or push harder in your works." The key takeaway of the study is that we're broadening our understanding of why it is helpful to exercise.There are so many ways to exercise,and figuring out a way to make it part of the daily routine plays an important role.Of course,you should check with your doctor first to make sure it's safe. 28.What can we learn about fat tissue from Paragraph 1? A.It is most energy-demanding. B.It has little to do with fatness. C.Its location makes a difference. D.Its function is to control health. 29.How are the participants in the research grouped? A.By their health problem. B.By their body weight. C.By their workout habit. D.By their personal hobby. 30.What is stressed in Paragraph 3? 第5页/共10页 A.Weight loss depends on less fat tissue. B.Exercise can reshape protein structure. C.Harder training results in stronger fat tissue. D.Fat tissue is closely related to regular exercise. 31.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Fat tissue is harmful to health. B.Regular exercise improves fat tissue function. C.Exercise should be done only a few times a week. D.Avoiding weight gain is the key to health. D The way you learn most effectively will impact many different aspects of your life.Visual )learners process information best when it's presented with images drawn on a whiteboard,charts or graphs.Visual learners usually process pictures before they read printed text and are also able to visualize concepts quickly.People who are visual learners would prefer it if instruction is printed rather than given verbally(口头地)，and may often write or draw when attempting to make sense of a new topic.Many visual learners remember something better once they've written it down or drawn it out. Auditory learners process information best when it's said out loud,such as in a lecture setting or spoken presentation.This type of learners can easily recall what others say and prefer to talk through topics they find complex or difficult to understand.People who are auditory learners prefer verbal directions and may use repetition or repeat things aloud to memorize things.They may ask questions to understand the subject matter better and may need to hear something repeated more than once before they fully comprehend.Auditory learners also often benefit from listening to recordings as a method of absorbing new concepts. Kinesthetic (learners process information through experience rather than by being shown or told.This type of learners prefer to do things that are more "hands-on".They prefer to touch and feel items and can easily recall things they've done.People who are kinesthetic learners like to make and create things using their hands,and remember information best when they are physically involved.Kinesthetic learners like to take part in the process by shadowing others,and prefer to practice concepts as a way to absorb new information. Take time to consider how you prefer to take in new information.Think about the last time how you worked to ensure you retained the information.The answers to these questions will help you discover which learning style works best for you. 32.What do visual learners do to form an idea in mind? A.Visualize or read something. B.Process or present something. C.Recall or speak. D.Write or draw. 第6页/共10页 33.Who can understand something repeated better? A.Visual learners.
