16、d statements ,each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage One Sometimes a race is not enough. Sometimes a runner just wants to go further. Thats what happened to Dennis Martin and Brooke Curran.Martin, 68, a retired detectiv

17、e from New York City,took up running after his first wife died. Curran, 46, a philanthropist(慈善家）from Alexandria, started running to get out of the house and collect her thoughts. Both she and Martin got good at running but felt the desire to do more. “The more I trained,the better I got,” Curran sa

18、id,” but I would cross the finish line with no sense of accomplishment.”Eventually , they worked up to running marathons(马拉松）（and longer races) in other countries, on other countries. Now both have achieved a notable -and increasingly less rate - milestone;running the 26.2-mile race on all seven con

19、tinents.They are part of a phenomenon that has grown out of the running culture in the past two decades, at the intersection of athleticism and leisure: “runcations,” which combine distance running with travel to exotic places . There trips ,as expensive as they are physically challenging ,are a gro

20、wing and competitive market in the travel industry.“In the beginning,running was enough ,”said Steen Albrechtsen, a press manager. “The classic marathon was the ultimate goal, then came the super marathons , like London and New York. But when 90,000 people a year can take that challenge, it is no lo

21、nger exciting and adventurous . Hence, the search for new adventures began.”“No one could ever have imagined that running would become the lifestyle activity that it is today,” said Thom Gilligan, founder and president of Boston-based Marathon Tours and Travel. Gilligan, who has been in business sin

22、ce 1979, is partly responsible for the seven-continent phenomenon.It started with a casual talk to an interviewer about his company offering trips to every continent except Antarctica. And then in 1995,Marathon Tours hosted its first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island. Off the tip of the Anta

23、rctic Peninsula: 160 runners got to the starting line of a dirt-and ice-trail route via a Russian icebreaker through the Drake Passage.21. At the beginning, Martin took up running just to .A. meet requirements of his jobB. win a running raceC. join in a philanthropic activityD. get away from his sad

24、ness22. Martin and Curran are mentioned as good examples of .A. winners in the 26.2-mile race on all seven continentsB. people who enjoy long running as a lifestyle activityC. running racers satisfied with their own performanceD. old people who live an active life after retirement23.

Marathon Tours is a leader of the travel industryD. adventurous runni

27、ng has become increasingly popularPassage TwoBefore the 1970s, college students were treated as children. So many colleges ran in loco parentis system. “ In loco parentis” is a Latin term meaning “in the place of a parent.” It describes when someone else accepts responsibility to act in the interest

28、s of a child.This idea developed long ago in British common law to define the responsibility of teachers toward their students. For years, American courts upheld in loco parentis in cases such as Gott versus Berea College in 1913.Gott owned a restaurant off campus. Berea threatened to expel students

29、 who ate at places not owned by the school. The Kentucky high court decided that in loco parentis justified that rule.In loco parentis meant that male and female college students usually had to live in separate buildings. Women had to be back at their dorms by ten or eleven on school nights.But in t

30、he 1960s, students began to protest rules and restrictions like these. At the same time, courts began to support students who were being punished for political and social dissent.In 1960, Alabama State College expelled six students who took part in a civil rights demonstration. They sued the school

31、and won. After that it became harder and harder to defend in loco parentis.At that time, students were not considered adults until 21. Then, in 1971, the 24th amendment to the Constitution set the voting age at eighteen. So in loco parentis no longer really applied.Slowly, colleges began to treat st

32、udents not as children, but as adults. Students came to be seen as consumers of educational services.Gary Dickstein, an assistant vice president at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, says in loco parentis is not really gone. It just looks different. Todays parents, he says, are often heavily i

33、nvolved in students lives. They are known as “helicopter parents.” They always seem to hover over their children. Gary Dickstein says these parents are likely to question decisions, especially about safety issues and grades. They want to make sure their financial investment is not being wasted.26. B

34、efore the 1970s, many colleges ran in loco parentis system because .A. they could take the place of the students parentsB. parents asked them to do it for the interests of their childrenC. this was a tradition established by British collegesD. college students were regarded as too young to be treate

35、d as adults27. Who won the case of Gott versus Berea College in 1913?A. Berea College.B. Gott.C. It was a win-win case.D. The students.28. The word “dissent”(Para.5) probably means “ ”.A. extreme behaviorsB. violation of lawsC. strong disagreementD. Wrong doings29. In 1960，the court ruled that Alaba

36、ma State College_A. had no right to expel the students B. was justified to have expelled the studentsC. shouldnt interfere with students daily life D. should support civil rights demonstrations 30. According to Gary Dickstein, todays “helicopter parents”_A. dont set their hearts at rest with college

37、 administratorsB. keep a watchful eye on their childrens life and studyC. care less about their childrens education than before D. have different opinions on their childrens educationPassage Three We tend to think of plants as the furniture of the natural word. They dont move, they dont make sounds,

38、 they dont seem to respond to anything at least not very quickly. But as is often the case, our human view of the world misses quite a lot. Plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical. Over the years scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to toma

39、toes, release compounds into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings all have the same purposeto spread information about one plants disease so other plants can defend themselves. But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still mysterious. In this weeks P

40、roceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers in Japan offer some explanations. They have identified one chemical message and traced it all the way from release to action. The scientists looked at tomato plants infested(侵害) by common pest, the cutworm caterpillar(毛虫). To start out, the

41、y grew plants in two plastic compartments connected by a tube. One plant was infested and placed upwind and the others were uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later exposed to the cutworm caterpillar. The results showed that plants that had previously been near sick neighbors w

42、ere able to defend themselves better against the caterpillar. The researchers also studied leaves from exposed and unexposed plants. They found one compound showed up more often in the exposed plants. The substance is called Hex Vic. When the scientists fed Hex Vic to cutworms, it knocked down their

43、 survival rate by 17%. The scientists identified the source of Hex Vic, and sprayed it lightly over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to start producing the caterpillar-killing Hex Vic. Researchers confirmed that uninfested plants have to build their own weapon to fight off bugs and diseas

44、es. How do they know when to play defense? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors. It is a complex tale, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. For now though, we know that plants

45、 not only communicate, they look out for one another.31. What does the author try to emphasize in Paragraph 1? A. How plants communicate is still a mystery. B. Enough attention has been paid to plant talk. C. Plants are the furniture of the natural world. D. Plants can communicate with each other.32

46、. According to Paragraph2, what remains unknown is _ A. how plants receive and handle the signals from their neighbors B. why plants spread chemical information to their neighbors C. how many types of plants release compounds into the air D. whether plants send chemical warnings to their neighbors33

47、. The tomato plants in the experiment were _ A. placed separately but connected through air B. exposed to different kinds of pests C. exposed to the pest at the same time D. placed together in a closed compartment 34. The experiment shows that the infested plant helps its neighbors by _ A. making more Hex Vic to attract the pest B. releasing Hex Vic into the air to warn them C
