11、 British landscape.Take a view is a desirable annual competition for photographers from all comers of the UK and beyond.Mike Shepherd(2011)Skiddaw in WinterCumbria, EnglandIt was an extremely cold winters evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised tha

12、t the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west.

16、 felt so tired after staying up for a night that even coffee doesnt give you the energy that you need? You may have an energy drink, but the benefits of drinking one arc heavily outweighed by the risks.In the past years, more and more studies have found the deadly effects of energy drinks on our bod

17、ies. The sugar, caffeine and energy supplements (补充)in energy drinks make up a deadly mixture of ingredients that can affect your heart function and send you to the hospital!A study by the University of Bonn, Germany found that frequent consumption of energy drinks can greatly change the way our hea

18、rt functions. The study went on to say that consuming energy drinks often causes significantly increased heart contractions in adults, which has the potential of putting you at risk for irregular heartbeats.It is possible that many people are unconscious of the alarming side effects of energy drinks

19、 because of the way they are labelled. Most energy drinks contain between 80 milligrams to over 350 milligrams of caffeine, sugar and energy supplements. When an energy drink is marketed as a diet supplement, it may be distributed without a nutrition facts label, which would show the harmful supplem

20、ents that are in the drink.

This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Lets state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face

25、 is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often whi

26、te men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. Its said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the clubwomen, or people of a different color or beliefthey were unackno

27、wledged and rejected by others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activi

28、ties said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesnt take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.Heres the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, were all positioned to se

29、e flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fort

32、l positions.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Geniuses Think AlikeB. Genius Takes Many FormsC. Genius and IntelligenceD. Genius and LuckD Around 1975 books were written about strange occurrences in the Bermuda Triangle, a part of the Atlantic Ocean off the southeast coast of the U.S. They t

33、old the stories of planes and ships that disappeared for no understandable reason and were never found again. They told about ships which were found undamaged but with no one on them. According to the books, more than 1,000 people disappeared in the Triangle from 1945 to 1975. According to some writ

34、ers, there were no natural explanations for many of the disappearances, so they suggested other explanations. For example, some strange and terrible power exists in the Triangle. According to another writer, people from space are living at the bottom of the Atlantic, and sometimes they need human sa

35、ilors and airmen for their research. These ideas were not scientific, but they were good advertisements. The books about the Bermuda Triangle were immediate successes. However, the books give little evidence to support their unusual ideas. In addition, they ignore at least three important facts that

36、 suggest natural reasons for many of the occurrences. First, messages from some of the ships and aircraft which later disappeared give us evidence of problems with navigational instruments. Similar stories are told by officers who were on duty on planets and ships which finally managed to come throu

37、gh the Triangle without disaster. Second, the weather in this part of the Atlantic Ocean is very unpredictable. Dangerous storms that can cause problems even for experienced pilots and sailors can begin suddenly and without warning. Finally, the Bermuda Triangle is very large, and many people, both

38、experienced and inexperienced, sail and fly through it. Perhaps the figure of 1,000 deaths in thirty years shocks some people, but, in fact, the figure is not unusual for an area of ocean that is so large and that is crossed by so many ships. The evidence which exists, therefore, supports one conclu

39、sion about Bermuda Triangle: We do not need stories about people from space or strange unnatural powers to explain the disappearances.32. What was strange about the occurrences in the Bermuda according to Paragraph 1? A. Ships survived but with no passengers on board. B. Not only ships but planes we

40、nt missing as well. C. There were as many as 1,000 deaths from 1945 to 1975. D. They happened across none other than the Atlantic waters.33. Why were the books about Bermuda Triangle unscientific? A. The books were written by unknown writers. B. Nearly no supporting evidence was given. C. The books

41、were written as advertisements. D. The writers pursued immediate success. 34. What reason for the disappearances may the author agree with? A. The sailors and airmen were taken away by strange species. B. People aboard could not stand the weather and died of diseases. C. The sailors and airmen were

42、to blame as they were inexperienced. D. Navigational instruments going wrong caused the sink or the crash.35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Bermuda Triangle Disappearances, Mystery Or Misreading? B. The Deadly Problems With Machines Of Last Century C. One Hundred Lives Lost In Thirty
