Sometimes a race is not enough. Sometimes a runner just wants to go further. Thats what ha

ppened to Dennis Martin and Brooke Curran. Martin, 46 , a retired detective from New York City, took up running after his first wife died. Curran, 46, a philanthropist(慈善家)from Alexandria, started running to get out of the house and collect her thoughts. Both she and Martin got good at running but felt the desire to do more. "The more I trained, the better I got," Curran said, " but I would cross the finish line with no sense of accomplishment. " Eventually, they worked up to running marathons(马拉松)(and longer races)in other countries, on other continents. Now both have achieved a notable-and increasingly less rare milestone: running the 26. 2-mile race on all seven continents. They are part of a phenomenon that has grown out of the running culture in the past two decades, at the intersection of athleticism and leisure: " runcations," which combine distance running with travel to exotic places. These trips, as expensive as they are physically challenging, are a growing and competitive market in the travel industry. " In the beginning, running was enough," said Steen Albrechtsen, a press manager. " The classic marathon was the ultimate goal, then came the super marathons, like London and New York. But when 90, 000 people a year can take that challenge, it is no longer exciting and adventurous. Hence, the search for new adventures began. " "No one could ever have imagined that running would become the lifestyle. activity that it is today," said Thorn Gilligan, founder and president of Boston-based Marathon Tours and Travel. Gilligan, who has been in business since 1979, is partly responsible for the seven-continent phenomenon. It started with a casual talk to an interviewer about his company offering trips to very continent except Antarctica. And then in 1995, Marathon Tours hosted its first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island, off the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula: 160 runners got to the starting line of a dirt-and ice-trail route via a Russian icebreaker through the Drake Passage.

At the beginning, Martin took up running just to______.

A．meet requirements of his job

B．win a running race

C．join in a philanthropic activity

D．get away from his sadness

听力原文： Alaska is known for its cold snowy weather. For many years, dog sleds were the o

nly means of transportation. Many Alaskans combine fun and hard work in an annual dog sled race. The trail race is the longest dog sled race in the world. It lasts from two to three weeks and covers almost 17 hundred km. The race goes across Alaska from Anchorage to Rome. It follows the trails that were once used by the people who looked for gold in Alaska's wilderness. The race also follows the route of several brave Alaskans who brought medicine from Anchorage to Rome in the winter of 1925. They carded the badly needed medicine through bad storm and helped save many lives. The race from Anchorage to Rome which is held in March is very hard for the drivers and sleigh dogs. Each day the dogs run for about four hours and then rest for four hours. They run day and night, and sometimes travel as much as one hundred and ten km. a day. The drivers must feed and take care of the dogs at race periods. Sometimes they only sleep for about two hours each day. Because the race is so hard, many drivers do not expect to win. For most of them just being able to finish is a victory.

(30)

A．Winter in Alaska.

B．The brave Alaskan people.

C．Alaskan transportation today.

D．A dog sled race.

第4题

I have been asked on occasion whether I would like to live my life over again. On the whol

e it has been a pretty good life, perhaps better than most peoples, but I should see no point in repeating it. It would be as idle as to read again a detective story that you have read before. But supposing there were such a thing as reincarnation, belief in which is explicitly held by three quarters of the human race, and one could choose whether or not one would enter upon a new life on earth, I have in the past sometimes thought that I should be willing to try the experiment on the chance that I might enjoy experiences which circumstances and my own idiosyncrasies, spiritual and corporeal, have prevented me from enjoying, and learn the many things that I have not had the time or the occasion to learn.

第三篇 Some Things We Know about Language

Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some things we do know.

First,we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one mother. Furthermore,in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a langUage． Second , there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are undevel oped,who are,as we say,uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.

This has not always been well understood;indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated. Popu- lar ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are,or were,hundreds of American Indian languages,and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with,but they are no more primitive five than English and Greek.

A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.

Finally, we know that language changes. It is natural and normal for language to change;the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds,and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.

In the second paragraph the author thinks that

A.some backward race doesn't have a language of its own

B.some race in history didn't possess a language of its own

C.any human race,whether backward or not, has a language

D.some races on earth call communicate without language.

第7题

The philosophy of the Cyrenaic school, founded by Aristippus, proceeds on the assumption t

hat happiness is, in point of fact, the good, the supreme good, or chief end of man; and this assumption, so far from being discountenanced by the philosophy of Socrates, is involved in that philosophy as one of its most vital principles. Viewed as a matter of fact, we must admit that his own happiness, whatever it may consist in, or whatever may be the means to be employed in the attainment, is the end which each individual has most at heart, and at which he ultimately aims. This is the end after which all men most eagerly strive. Happiness is the goal, which, consciously or unconsciously, we are all struggling to reach. Milton has written two epic poems in which he commemorates our fallen and our restored condition. He has written Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. But the true epic of humanity—the epic which is in a constant course of evolution from the beginning until the end of time, the epic which is daily poured forth from the heart of the whole human race, sometimes in rejoicing paeans, but oftener amid woeful lamentation, tears, and disappointed hopes—what is it but Paradise sought for？

From the start of the modern Olympics, male athletes of every race, religion, and national

ity have been allowed to participate. No women competed in 1896. A few female golfers and tennis players were allowed to take part in the 1900 Games. Female gymnasts and track-and-field athletes first competed at the 1928 Games. Womens Olympic sports have grown hugely since then. Today women make up about half of the total number of competitors. This has not been the only change. Figure skating was part of the Summer Games of 1908 and 1920, and ice hockey was played in 1920. They then became part of the Winter Olympics, which was first held in 1924 in France. Although founded to help world peace, the modern Olympic Games sometimes become a stage for political arguments. The most controversial Olympics were the Berlin Games of 1936. Under the rule of the Nazis, German Jewish athletes were banned from the German team. The Olympic Games were interrupted twice during the First and Second World Wars. The event was not held in 1916, 1940 and 1944.
