11、e faces the difficult task of taking the local teacher to her school. To do this, he first walks for an hour up to a place the locals call Los Pinos, right at the edge of the 400-foot deep gorge (峡谷) of the Negro valley. Here, one end of a thick metal cable has been fixed to a wooden post. The cable

12、 stretches right across the deep valley to the other side, a kilometer away. A metal hook is fixed to the cable, with leather straps hanging from it. Diaz fastens the straps around his shoulders and waist, does a quick safety check and then, without hesitating, throws himself off the edge of the mou

13、ntain. Attached to the cable by only the metal hook, he rapidly picks up speed and soon he is racing through the air.

14、e. As Diaz begins his trip, Diana Rios, a 23-year-old elementary teacher, is waiting on the other side of the gorge for the moment when he will come racing through the mist towards her at 100 mph.

18、For him, the dangers of this daily journey are insignificant. “What Im really scared of is snakes,” he says. “This is nothing in comparison.” Then Dianna straps herself into her harness and hooks herself up to the wire behind Diaz, holding on to him tightly.

26、ith a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests whom she hoped to enlist in a major charity drive.

34、 before the dinner was overCNot long ago, we argued in this space that because America has some of the best tap water available, it is time to start thinking twice about drinking commercially bottled water. One big reason is that a lot of petroleum is required to manufacture and transport the plasti

35、c bottles, thus adding to global warming and other environmental problems. Of course, in certain circumstances bottled water is necessary. It is essential during emergencies think Katrina and it is certainly a better alternative when the only other drinks come loaded with calories. What the rising u

36、se of bottled water leaves us with, however, is a huge recycling problem. Of the mountain of individual plastic water bottles created by Americans each year enough to hold more than seven billion gallons of water less than one-fourth are sent to the recycling industry for a second round. That makes

37、absolutely no sense for the environment or for the economy. The recycling industry sees plastic water bottles as a major commodity because they can be turned into anything from fleece jackets to a very durable set of luggage. One reason so few water bottles are recycled is that except in a very few

38、states, they cannot be redeemed at the local grocery store. But recycling rates are significantly higher in the 11 states that pay customers a nickel (and in some cases a dime) if they return their bottle. But only three of these states California, Hawaii and Maine include water bottles. Passing new

39、 bottle laws or expanding old laws to include plastic bottles should be an easy call for most Legislatures. But the grocery and drink industry have been able to use their clout, and campaign funds, to keep that from happening. That needs to change. There are other ways to encourage recycling. At man

40、y public places ballgames or city parks, for example it is often much easier to buy a bottle of water than to find a recycling bin to throw it away. And in some areas, like parts of Philadelphia, officials are experimenting with ways to pay homeowners by the pound for recycled trash, a trend definit

41、ely worth watching. Of course, for most people, the simplest recycling solution of all might be to wash a plastic bottle out and refill it with fresh water from the tap. 51. What is the writers attitude towards bottled water?A. It is completely unnecessary.B. It will make people fat easily because i

42、t contains calories.C. Producing bottled water will worsen global warming.D. It is less tasty than tapping water.52. What is a possible cause of low recycling rates of plastic water bottles?A. Plastic water bottles have little recycling value.B. In some public places, not enough dustbins are set up

43、to collect bottles.C. The recycling industry will cost much to recycle bottles.D. Consumers of bottled water are not willing to have their bottles recycled.53. The underlined word “redeemed” in the third Paragraph probably means _.A. changed into an amount of money B. returned C. collectedD. recycle

44、d54. We can infer from the passage that _.A. Americans will consume more than seven billion gallons of water each yearB. consumers of bottled water in California will get some money back if they return their plastic bottles to grocery storeC. new laws have been set up to encourage plastic bottle rec

45、yclingD. government should buy recycled garbage from people55.
