Being productive is important; but did you know that downtime is equally important? When your body has a chance to rest, your productivit

28、y, problem solving, and creativity are all strengthened. Work some downtime into your schedule and use it well. Find out more in our article “Using Your Downtime Wisely.” (page 32) One way to use your downtime is to make a vacation. My favorite kind of vacation usually involves water and the beach;

29、and as many of you know, I love scuba diving! The world under the waves is so beautiful and interesting. Learn more about it in “Diving With Sharks in the Bahamas.”(page 16) You dont even need to get wet! Part of your scheduling also involves balancing your life. You need to make time for life. At l

From the passage, we can identify the author as_. A. a productive naturalist B. an expert on family education C. an editor of a mon

33、thly magazine D. a professional scuba diverBThe western obsession (迷恋) with rights makes it difficult to see their limitations. We speak about rights as if they were the only moral value with meaning, ignoring other important moral values like responsibilities or duties. In fact, responsibilities ar

34、e the counterparts to rights. Philosopher Carl Cohen writes that, “If animals have any rights, they must have the right not to be killed to advance the interest of others.” Another way of putting this is that those who assert (坚持) the rights of animals are in effect assertingfirst and foremosta righ

35、t to life for all animals. But for an animal to realize its right to life, farmers, hunters and researchers must collectively accept a duty not to kill them. Similarly, citizens, consumers and patients must refuse to eat, wear or use food, clothes and medicine that require an animal to die. But the

36、assertion of an animal right to life makes no sense. It would require usjust as one exampleto stop animals from hunting one another, just like we stop humans from killing one another. But more importantly, it is unnecessary to achieve what is required to improve the lot of animals. Even Peter Singer

37、, one of the fathers of the animal rights movement, doesnt believe animals have a right to life. He says we must refuse to contribute toand act to stopthe unnecessary suffering of animals. But he does not claim that animals have a right to life or that they suffer by having their life taken from the

38、m. Instead, what he claims is that animals farmed on a large scale suffer because of the cruel ways they are made to live and are butchered. We have a duty to do what we can to stop this by boycotting businesses that treat animals cruelly. We can go without wearing make-up and without eating or wear

39、ing animal flesh that required the torture (折磨) of animals, or we can source and buy cruelty-free make-ups and eat and wear ethically-farmed animal products. In other words, while it might have been true that when Animal Liberation was written in the 1970s, the result of a boycott was a vegetarian l

40、ifestyle, this is no longer the case. Today, there is more than one way to achieve our duties to get rid of the unnecessary suffering of animals.58. We can infer from the first paragraph _. A. rights can contribute to responsibilities B. responsibilities are contradictory to rights C. rights cant be

41、 secured without responsibilities D.responsibilities are more important than rights 59. Carl Cohen might agree that _.A. animals can enjoy a variety of rights for the time being B. animals can be conditionally used for clothes or medicine C. animals have the right to advance the interest of othersD.

42、 animals have the right to survive by hunting one another 60. Why do some people think it makes no sense to assert an animal right to life? A. The balance of the animal world should not be interfered with. B. People may find it possible to stop animals killing each other.C. It is hard to assert a ri

43、ght to life for the animals on the earth. D. Humans cant refuse the contribution to suffering of animals. 61. How can we boycott businesses that treat animals cruelly? A. We should maintain a vegetarian lifestyle. B. We should turn to cruelty-free animal products. C. We should protect animals from s

44、uffering. D. We should stop wearing make-ups in daily life.CBefore boarding the virtual reality roller coaster, riders put on a VR headset across their face. They wont see where the steel track is going, or whats coming up next. As the ride launches into a series of steep drops, banks and loops (环形)

45、, riders are involved in high-definition imagery and 360-degree virtual views. Theres even a story lineto follow as theyre screaming their heads off. In the competitive world of who can go higher, faster and deliver more G-forces (离心力), this new kid on the block is making a splash at amusement parks

46、 across North America. Next spring, Six Flags will present nine virtual reality roller coasters at its parks in Texas, California, Maryland, and New York. “Its perfect to have this virtual reality technology that gives you the thrilling feeling of being in a different world,” said Thomas Wagner, CEO

47、 of VR Coaster, which developed the system for Six Flags, “and to combine it with a coaster that delivers motion (运动), G-forces, zero-gravity momentsits a totally new kind of attraction.” What makes the experience different from 3-D motion simulator (模拟器) rides is that the imagery playing inside the

48、 headsets is completely in sync (同步) with what the physical roller coaster is doing on the track. So while riders are flying amid (在.之间) high-rise buildings in the virtual world, theyre barreling through a corkscrew (拔塞钻) in real life.At Six Flags Magic Mountain outside Los Angeles, VR technology wa

49、s added to longtime favorite “Revolution” and rebranded as “The New Revolution.” Built in 1976, it was the first looping roller coaster in the world. Today, riders no longer experience a twisting journey through green trees and hills. Instead, theyre knee-deep in a mankind vs. aliens story line. At

50、Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, thrill seekers who board the new “Superman: Krypton Coaster Virtual Reality Coaster” are fully involved in the comic-book world of Metropolis. Some skeptical park-goers have questioned whether the VR effects cause motion sickness. “Its crucial to have the virtu

51、al reality ride precisely synced to the real ride,” Wagner said, “because otherwise, you would get dizzy and have motion sickness.”“The entire VR industry, especially gaming developers, are fighting with this motion sickness problem. If youre sitting at home in a chair and youre watching this convin

52、cing 3-D movement, you get dizzy. But when youre on the coaster, and you actually feel the same movements that you are watching and seeing, you dont.” Of course, “Its still a roller coaster, and its still kind of fierce.” So far, Wagner said, the VR roller coasters have attracted every type of dared

53、evil. “People who are even afraid of coasters like it better in VR, because they feel a little bit safer,” he said, “They dont think a video game environment can harm them in any way.”62. Which helps create a special story line? A. A VR headset. B. A roller coaster. C. High buildings. D. Zero-gravit

54、y. 63. When you ride a VR roller coaster, you _. A.will experience a series of story-based views B. can clearly see where the steel track is going C. will suffer from serious motion sickness D. can compose a story line of your own 64. What do the underlined words “making a splash” in Paragraph 2 pro

55、bably mean? A. struggling to exist B. taking the lead C. following ones example D. attracting much attention65. People wont feel motion sickness because _. A. they know it is safe to ride VR roller coasters B. what they feel keeps pace with what they seeC. a VR ride is not so fierce as a traditional

56、 one D. they are concentrating on a game environmentDOn a warm November day, as a skydiving instructor, I, Sheldon McFarlane, arrived at Perths Jandakot Airport at 7.30am, as I do every morning. Id been really busy doing tandem (串联) jumpswhere the student is attached to me with a harness (安全带)as wel

57、l as teaching students to jump by themselves. I hadnt taken much notice of the 22-year-old Christopher Jones, though this was my first jump with him. Christopher was lucky to have the opportunity to do three jumps in one day. Students can get stressed when there are long gaps between their jumps. So

58、metimes they are more nervous on their second jump than their first. I think the more jumps you do in a day the easier it is. I have been skydiving for 25 years and I still love it. Its a very dynamic sport and there are a lot of challenges. I still learn something new every day. Christopher was goi

59、ng to do his fifth jump, which is the first solo jump. He climbed out of the plane fine and did a reasonable exit. Then he over-rotated and became unstable for a second, but he quickly moved himself back into the stable position again. Then when he was stable and level, he turned himself so he was f

60、acing me and waited for my signals. He started a left-hand turnand then he suddenly stopped.We were 9,000 feet above the ground. Maybe, I thought, hes misunderstood the technique for doing turns?I didnt know what he was up to. It never entered my head that he might have been having a sudden violent

61、attack of an illness. For the next 30 seconds or so, Christopher was free-falling at speeds up to 200 km an hour. I dived down but I was moving downwards too fast. I was worried about coming in over the top of him, as he might have pulled the rip cord (开降绳) and then I would be falling into an open p

62、arachute (降落伞). So I approached to the side of him to observe how his body was flying. He wasnt just falling, he was spinning and moving repeatedly at the same time, and his head was pointing downwards. I realized then that Christopher was completely unresponsive and doing nothing to get himself fac

63、ing the earth. We were at 5,000 feet and I needed to reach him and get his parachute above his head. Even though our students are fitted with two automatic parachutes, the first wouldnt have opened until 2,000 feet above the drop zone. That wouldnt have given him much time to sort himself out before

64、 hitting the ground. He could have flown into a tree or a river and hurt himself. It had come to the point where he needed to get under that parachute sooner rather than later.I quickly moved my arms back and lifted my chin. It takes just a split secondits the position you get in when you want to di

65、rect your flight. Then I pointed my head down to build up speed and, as I came close, tried to slow down. It s possible to be 1,000 feet above somebody and still dive down and join them in a formation (队列). Within seconds, you can match their fall speed. At 4,500 feet I caught hold of him and pulled

66、 on his harness with one hand and rolled him sideways to angle his body so the parachute could open properly. The chute rushed out and swung him round. I believed everything would now be fine. I reached the ground about two minutes before him. After I picked up my parachute, I went over to Donna, ou

67、r ground instructor. She then came behind me and said “hes just had a seizure”. I couldnt believe it. If Id realized while we were up there that he was unconscious, I dont know if I would have been that calm. A few months later, Christopher uploaded the training video taken from mine helmet camera t

68、o YouTube. In December last year, the Royal Life Saving Society, Western Australia, awarded me a Gold Cross for my courage.66. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? A. The differences in students skills will make them nervous. B. A higher altitude of the next dive will make them more wo

69、rried. C. Jumping too frequently will put students under great pressure. D. A wide interval before next attempt will make students stressed. 67. Which of the following statements about the writer is true? A. He thinks there is nothing to learn any more from skydiving. B. He was aware that something

70、was wrong with Christopher. C. He managed to open the parachute for Christopher at last. D. He instructed Christopher to correctly open the parachute, 68. Which is the correct order of the following events? I caught hold of Christopher.I approached to the side of him. Christopher did a reasonable ex

Reading books is vital for

73、 human development.Why should we bother reading a book? All children say this occasionally. Many of the 12 million adults in Britain with reading difficulties repeat it to themselves daily. In a world of accelerating technology, increasing time poverty and decreasing attention, should they invest pr

74、ecious time sinking into a good book?The discovery that our brains are physically changed by the experience of reading is something many of us will understand instinctively(本能地), as we think back to the way an extraordinary book had a transformative effect on the way we viewed the world. This transf

Thats why studies have found this kind of deep reading makes us more sensitive to the inner lives of others.Rationally, we know that reading is the foundation stone of all educa

But perhaps even more significant is its emotional role as the starting point for individual voyages of personal development and pleasure. Books can open up emotional, imaginative

77、and historical landscapes that equal and extend the corridors(走廊) of the web. They can help create and strengthen our sense of self. If reading were to decline significantly, it would change the very nature of our species. If we, in the future, are no longer wired for self-reflection and creative th

So the ability, offered by devices like e-readers, smart phones and tablets, to carry an entire library in your hand is an amazing opportunity. Publishers need to us

79、e every new piece of technology to embed (使融入) long-form reading within our culture. We should concentrate on the message, not worry about the medium.
