Having taken a _41_ of action without thinking, we find at once too many difficulties, small or big, preventing our progress. If we avoid acting hurriedly, we can avoid most of our troubles. For instance, a young man has a gift for teaching and doing research work. What a foolish act it would be for him to go and work as a businessman! Most people fail to have a satisfactory life because they have _42_ a job for which they didnt mean to go in. Without taking into consideration our _43_ and abilities for a particular business we should not run _44_ into it. However, too much care and fear results in failure. It is a mistake to hesitate or delay action when _45_ action is called for. When a swimmer has to save a drowning man, he must act at once without delay. Similarly, to rescue a child or a woman from a burning house, we must rush in without hesitation. Where there is no room for delay and hesitation, there must be no hesitation or delay. So only with _46_ of consideration, courage and confidence can we get over any difficulty. We can be _47_ and realize our aims in life only by just getting the three points put together. Foresight and _48_ combined with courage and confidence in taking unavoidable risks are necessary. With them we can prove ourselves able to deal with _49_ problems and ensure success. III. Cloze Test (15%) While some of the best professional big-wave surfers in the world looked out over 40-foot waves crashing onto the shores of Oahu s Waimea Bay, the _50_ seemed disappointingly clear. The Quicksilver Invitation surfing competition had to be _51_. The waves were just too big. But on that same late-January day, relatively unknown big-wave rider Greg Russ had to be physically _52_ by lifeguards from launching out into the biggest surf in more than a decade. The guards were interfering with his right to make _53_, he said. The incentive: $50,000 from the surf-equipment manufacturer K2 to anyone who can ride the biggest wave of the year and get it _54_. From ice climbing to mountain biking to big-wave surfing, more people are becoming extreme athletes, putting their lives in danger for the _55_ thrill. But the K2 contest, and the growing popularity of extreme sports worldwide, has _56_ questions about the financial and human consequence for athletes and rescuers who watch over them. For many, the incident at Waimea perfectly _57_ the dangers unleashed when big money, big egos, and big challenges are mixed. Although exact figures on how many extreme athletes exist are hard to come by, isolated statistical evidence _58_ a rapid increase. For example, the number of climbers _59_ to climb Alaskas 20,300-foot Mt. McKinley -the tallest peak in North America-increased from 695 in 1984 to 1100 in 1997. “It s a numbers deal, and clearly there are more people getting hurt than there were when I started doing_60_ 20 years ago, ” says Dan Burnett, a mission coordinator with the all-volunteer Summit County Search and Rescue Group in Colorado. “We re responding in areas now that even four years ago I would have thought we didn t need 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 4 页，共 11 页 - - - - - - - - - - 5 - to check because _61_goes there.” Some efforts have been made toward creating a(n) _62_ extreme-sports world. Three years ago, Denali National Park in Alaska, _63_, instituted a mandatory $ 150 fee for climbers seeking to ascend Mt. McKinley. The fee pays for an educational program that park rangers credit with dramatically _64_ the number of search-and-rescue missions and fatalities. 50. A. decision B. surprise C. devotion D. mission 51.

(B) Australian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sleep in order to cut the greenhouse gases they send out, which is thought to be responsible for global warming. Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence (胃肠气胀 ) contains no methane (甲烷) and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who produce large quantities of the harmful gas. While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a billowing smokestack (烟囱) pushing out carbon dioxide, farm animals passing wind contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions in some countries. Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia is from enteric methane from cattle and sheep, said Athol Klieve, a senior research scientist with the Queensland state government. And if you look at another country such as New Zealand, which has got a much higher agricultural base, theyre actually up around 50 percent, he said. Researchers say the bacteria also makes the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers. But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate the bacteria, before 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 6 页，共 11 页 - - - - - - - - - - 7 - they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep.
