Yes, you read that correctly. The sad truth of the matter is surviving an avalanche burial is rare. According to Jake Hutchinson, an avalanche rescuer and safety instructor in Utah, its very rare. And recent studies show large-scale avalanches might be on the increase because of climate change.“The hard part about the avalanche rescue world is that we can rarely get people there in time to make it a live find,” Hutchinson pointed out. “Realistically, people have a pretty good chance of survival if they can be fully dug out in the first 15 to 30 minutes of burial.”Hutchinson has been working in the avalanche rescue world for nearly 30 years. He said its not the cold and hypothermia(体温过低) that kill, but the lack of oxygen. “Unfortunately, that results in death really quickly. And so, time is really against us.”“I think people underestimate either the potential of a slope, like what kind of avalanche it can create, or they have overconfidence.” Hutchinson emphasized the best way for people to survive an avalanche burial is to have well-trained partners with proper avalanche rescue gear(器具). He advised people to always get the forecast before you go as well. And if it doesnt look safe, avoiding the area altogether is your best option. “To ski in powder is really fun,” Hutchinson acknowledged, but he added, “It doesnt matter what cool thing you did in the mountains if you didnt come home to talk about it, because coming home at the end of the day is the most important part of all this.”1. According to Hutchinson, what is the major cause of a skiers death when an avalanche occurs?A. The extreme cold.B. The hypothermia.C. The delay of rescue.D. The lack of oxygen.2. What might Hutchinson recommend skiers to do to stay safe?来源:中国%*教育出版网A. Learn to ski with a world-famous coach.B. Choose a snowy day to ski with best friends.C. Have experienced partners with avalanche rescue equipment.D. Avoid slopes and ski with an avalanche rescuer and safety instructor.3. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To inform the readers of the consequence of an avalanche.BTo stress the importance of skiing safety over thrill seeking.C. To share a story of a narrow escape from an avalanche burial.D. To call the readers attention to the catastrophic weather change.BUnknown to many Americans perhaps, the Japanese are huge fans of racing. They crowd racetracks throughout the country, especially near major cities like Tokyo. The country has some of the finest breeding farms and racehorses in the world.Japanese racehorse and Japanese racing success has increased dramatically. While Japan is enjoying its new success in racing, it was not always or need not always be that way. The idea that effort is greater than outcome extends to horseracing. There is no finer example of this than the near-legendary story of Haru Urara, a horse whose name means “Glorious Spring”, but whose racing career was anything but glorious.来源*:zzs#t%Haru Urara was born in 1996. Her father was NippoTeio, a highly successful racehorse whose wins included Tokyos famous horseracing competition of Yasuda Kinen, and whose mother was named Heroine. Her great-great-great grandfather was Canadas famed Northern Dancer, considered the foundational sire of North American Thoroughbred racehorses.Her owner NobutoBokulo tried to sell her when she was young and was surprisingly unsuccessful. So, with seemingly wonderful racing bloodlines, he trained her to race.She started her racing career with a fifth-and last-place finish on Nov.17, 1998 at Kochi Racetrack on the Japanese island of Shikoku. Of course, it is not unusual for a new racehorse to finish poorly in a first outing. What followed, however, was definitely unusual.An iron horse Haru Urara raced as often as twice a month over the next four and a half years-and never won a single race. By 2003, her losing record totaled 80 and that is when her story was picked up by media in Japan and eventually around the world. People respected the fact that, while she never won, she ran with all her heart. The “Haru Urara Boom” as it came to be known touched even the most unrelated areas of Japanese life.4. Why did the owner of Haru Urara decide to train her to race?A. Because Haru Urara showed a talent for racing.B. Because Haru Urara possessed outstanding racing bloodlines.C. Because NobutoBokulo failed to sell her at a reasonable price.D. Because NobutoBokulo thought a racehorse could earn him a lot of money.5. Which of the following can best describe Haru Urara?来源:中教&%*网A. Determined and inspirational.B. Independent and glorious.C. Powerful and lucky.D. Responsible and lovely.6. What message does the story of Haru Urara convey?A. Winning isnt everything: its the only thing.来源:中教&*网%B. Dont depend on your family: depend on yourself.C. Those who try hard and then lose still deserve our respect.D. Failure is the mother of success as long as you stick to your dream.7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Haru Urara: a Rising StarB. Haru Urara: a Shame of the FamilyC. Haru Urara: Janpans Lovable LoserD. Haru Urara: an Absolute LoserC“Cash or credit?” Is that statement becoming a phrase of the past? New technology and tools that support cashless payment options have speeded up this process and made us feel that were on our way towards a cashless society. Is this a good or a bad thing? Let's take a look at both sides of the issue.The most obvious benefits of a cashless society are simplicity and convenience. What can be easier than sending a P2P payment or tapping your phone? There's no need to visit a credit union branch or ATM to obtain cash or worry about not having enough cash on hand to make a purchase.来源#:中国教育出版网&%Plus, a cashless society saves cost. The manufacturing of bills and coins is expensive, and cash handling is even more so. Think about everything that a retail business needs to do with cashstore it, withdraw it, deposit it, etc. And, in the case of credit unions or other financial institutions, consider the cost of security, gas, truck maintenance, etc. when transporting large sums of cash between locations.However, with cash payments, you can send and receive funds safely and anonymously. But that's not possible with electronic payments, which leave a digital trace behind them with a wealth of information about both your transaction and you.Besides, electronic payments are fat targets for hackers whose goal is to obtain and use transferred funds for their own evil purposes. At the same time, a cashless payment is like an open door to identity theft since so much information about individual consumers can be stolen.Finally, when it comes to technology issues, making a cash payment is a simple, low-tech act. There's no need to worry about unsafe software, bad network connections, service breakdown, limited server space, or other technical problems. But in a cashless society, where even a dead cell phone battery can cut a consumer off from access to his or her funds, such technology issues can be quite challenging.8. What can we learn from the passage?A. In terms of technology, cashless payment is simpler.B. Cash-free business is cost-effective in many aspects.来源:%中国教育#出&版网C. Many young citizens still prefer cash or credit to e-payment.D. Electronic payments will not involve any of your privacy.9. What is the author's attitude towards a cashless society?A. Cautious.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Indifferent.10. Which of the following shows the structure of the text?www&.zz*%#=Paragraph1 =Paragraph2 =Paragraph3 Paragrapha4 =Paragraph5 =Paragraph6A. B. C.
