I was very excited when it arrived because I bought it with money I saved from doing odd jobs over su

17、mmer. Unfortunately, I have experienced several problems with my Skunk Scooter. First of all, the front wheel shakes from side to side, making the scooter difficult to ride. And also, it makes a horrible sound. The sound is louder and more annoying than a roaring engine. My dad and I had to tighten

18、the screws (螺丝). However, it did not help. The wheel continues to shake. The scooter is faulty and cannot be repaired.In addition, I cannot adjust the handlebars. According to your website, they can be easily raised to a height of thirty-six inches. This does not seem to be true. The handlebars are

19、set at thirty inches, and they cannot be raised or lowered. It appears that the knob that is used to adjust the height is jammed into the handlebars, which makes it impossible to turn in either direction. Although you advertised the Skunk Scooter as “the quickest, slickest scooter on the planet,” my

20、 purchase was an exception. Since your website promises to accept returns, I want my money back. I have sent you a copy of my receipt. Please let me know how I should ship the scooter back to your company. I know that you would not want customers to keep broken products. Therefore, I would like to t

21、hank you in advance. My money can be mailed to me at 3260 N. Main Street, Clarks, TN 37040.Sincerely，Natasha Greene56. Natasha bought her scooter _. A. on a websiteB. at a supermarket C. in a second-hand store D. from a scooter factory57. According to Natasha, the scooter _. A. loses its front wheel

22、 B. makes a loud noise C. has no handlebars D. runs too slowly58. Natasha felt _ about her purchase. A. nervousB. pleasedC. disappointed D. excited59. Natasha wrote this letter to _. A. buy a new scooter B. get her money back C. advertise the scooter D. ask how to use the scooterB Climbing in the Cl

23、oudsEdmund Percival Hillary was one of the greatest explorers of the twentieth century. He was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1919. He discovered an interest in mountain climbing while he was still in high school and began climbing New Zealands Southern Alps. Like his father, Hillary earned his l

24、iving as a beekeeper. However, he continued to climb mountains. His goal was to climb Mt. Everest, which is the highest mountain in the world. By the early 1950s, several expeditions (探险队) had attempted to reach the summit of Everest, but all had failed. Then, in 1953, Hillary and a Nepalese climber

25、 named Tenzing Norgay became the first two people to reach the top of the world. Hillarys spirit of exploration was not satisfied. He joined an expedition to Antarctica and reached the South Pole in 1958. He also made an expedition up the Ganges River to its source in the Himalayas. Sir Edmund Hilla

26、ry was a brave adventurer. He went where no man or woman had gone before. Although Hillary was best known as the young man who climbed to the summit of Mt. Everest in the 1950s, he continued his journeys to far-off places into his senior years. For instance, in his mid-sixites Hillary flew to the No

27、rth Pole with Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Moreover, Hillary authored many books. However, his most lasting gift, perhaps, was the Sir Edmund Hillary Himalayan Trust (信托基金). It raised millions of dollars and contributed to schools, hospitals and many other public improvements in the Sh

28、erpa villages of Nepal. In January 2008, Sir Edmund Hillary died at the age of 88.Despite being a great adventurer and known for the treasure he left, Sir Edmund Hillary always modestly referred to himself as a simple beekeeper from New Zealand.60. Hillary was interested in _ when he was in high sch

29、ool. A. mountain-climbing B. bee-keeping C. money-raisingD. story-writing61. Hillary became well-known because _.A. he reached both the South Pole and the North Pole B. he was the first to reach the top of Mt. Everest C. he lived in places where no humans had gone D. he made a lot of money as a beek

30、eeper62. _ is the right order of Hillarys expeditions.a. He traveled to the source of the Ganges River. b. He climbed New Zealands Southern Alps.c. He reached the summit of Everest. d. He explored the North Pole.A. a-c-d-b B. b-d-c-a C. a-b-c-d D. b-c-a-d63. We can learn from the passage that Hillar

31、y is _. A. outgoing and fearless B. talented and honest C. determined and caring D. hardworking and careful CThroughout childhood, kids are encouraged to take good care of their bodies by getting enough rest, exercising regularly, eating healthful foods, and drinking plenty of water. But recently ch

32、ildren and teenagers have been warned to protect their skin. Skin cancer is on the rise among young people. Teens should make some basic lifestyle changes to help slow this trend. Melanoma, a skin cancer, is the second most common form of cancer for people aged 15 to 29. Unfortunately, the risk of d

33、eveloping it has increased in recent years. One of the most important causes of melanoma is UV radiation (辐射) damage. Scientists think that some of this damage is directly linked to the use of tanning beds (皮肤美黑床). Now they have found that these beds produce UVA radiation and UVB radiation, both of

34、which are dangerous. Clearly, avoiding tanning beds is one way teens can protect their skin, but they must do more. They need to protect themselves from too much sun exposure as well. They must learn to stay out of the sun in summer. Doctors say that to avoid the harmful rays of the sun, young peopl

35、e should stay indoors between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the rays are the strongest. When teens have to be outdoors during these hours, they should use sunscreen that provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Protection is the most effective weapon in the battle against melanoma, but paying clos

36、e attention to the skin is also vital. Melanoma often begins as a mole (痣) on the skin. If its caught before it spreads below the skins surface, its highly curable. Therefore, teens should watch for both new moles and existing moles. If they see anything that looks unusual, they should visit a skin

37、doctor right away. Teens who continue to bake in the sun to achieve that perfect tan should realize the potential consequences of their behavior. Is a sun-kissed look really worth the risk of melanoma? Its not too late to change your habits and reduce your exposure to harmful UV rays. Take action no

38、w to protect your skin and avoid this deadly disease later. 64. Teens are warned to protect their skin because _. A. their lifestyles are not healthy B. skin helps slow the radiation damageC. skin cancer is growing among teenagers D. they spend longer time staying outdoors 65. In Paragraph 2, the au

39、thor mainly talks about _ of melanoma. A. the cause B. the prevention C. the symptomD. the treatment66. _ is the effective protection of skin. A. Using tanning beds B. Eating more healthful foodsC. Visiting a skin doctor frequently D. Reducing exposure to strong UV raysDThe biggest criticism (批评) of

40、 social networking is that our young people are losing their offline friends to online friends. In fact there is a lot of research that shows these criticisms are generally unfounded. Research by Allen et al. found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using th

41、em to support their offline relationships. They also found that our online friendships actually allow us to have discussions with a much more diverse set of people than in the real world and improve our psychological happiness. However, there is one part of social networking that is deeply worrying.

42、 We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night, excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character. Professor Larry D. Rosen

43、, in his book iDisorder, presents evidence that social networking is turning us into narcissists (自恋者). He says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become vain, aggressive, and show anti-social behavior in their offline lives. But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that

44、one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearingempathy. This is the emotion that bonds us together; it allows us to see the world from our friends points of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships. Sherry Turkle, a professor of social science

45、s at MIT, suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone. This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours. Many admitted an addiction to their online social network; most complained that they felt cut off from family

46、 and friends. But being alone is a time, Turkle argues, when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others. She believes, as is the title of her 2011 book, that we are simply “Alone Together.”These potential changes in our characters are rather disturbing. If nothing is done, our young people could well be in trouble. Therefore, suggestions about ways to encourage our young people to avoid the problems of
