An Extraordinary Change of Direction
Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail
round the world to raise money for charity.
As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for
classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team.
She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring
them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home.
She says, "When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was
bored because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed
before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They had
taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia. I
wanted to do the whole ten-month journey. '
Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn't prepared her for the worst
weather which they experienced. She tells one story. "One night the sea was very rough and
it was very cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured
two men on the deck. One of the men couldn't move because he had broken his leg. They
were taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time."
By the end of October last year, she had raised more than ~50,000 for charity.
She says, "Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think,
it's the same as being a dancer. Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very
fit and had prepared myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team
member."
26. What does the word "extraordinary" mean in the title?
A. Very ordinary. B. Very unusual and surprising.
C. Not special. D. Extreme.
27. The sentence "'" my husband thought I was bored '" "in Para. 4 meant that my
husband thought I felt
A. dissatisfied because I had nothing better to do at home
B. annoyed because I had to wait long for my children to come back home
C. happy because I could do something I was interested in instead of taking care of
children
D. sad because all the children left me when they grew up
28. The word "section" in Para. 4 most probably means here
A. group of people B. part of the training
C. part of the route of sail D. part of the job
29. Which of the following is nearest (closest) in meaning to "rough" in the sentence
"One night the sea was very rough '"" in Para. 5?
A. not exact B. difficult
C. not smooth because of huge waves D. pleasant
30. The last paragraph suggests that
A. the qualities she needed for the trip were the same as those for a dancer
B. many years of dancing had already prepared her for the sail completely, so she
needn't do anything before the journey
C. she should be kind to other team members during the trip
D. she should not forget dancing during the trip

People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the
problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often
artificial (人造的) substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased
amounts of a natural substance （物质) ,such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.
Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused
could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more
efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes
wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are
increasingly sold in bottles or tins which can't be reused. This not only causes a litter
problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper.
Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we
neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste
combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying,
excess use and careless disposal (处理) of the products we use in our daily lives.
31. The main cause of pollution is
A. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment
B. the production of new industrial goods
C. increased amounts of a natural substance
D. our ever-increasing population
32. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only
A. people would pay more attention to the problem
B. governments would take effective measures
C. all sides concerned would make more efforts
D. farmers would use less artificial fertilizers
33. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause
A. air and water pollution
B. both a litter problem and a waster of resources
C. to pay for the service
D. to produce the receipt
34. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution?
A. Cutting out unnecessary buying.
B. Eating.
C. Reduce excess use.
D. Carefully dispose our daily products.
35. What does the underlined word "litter" mean in paragraph 2?
A. not many B. serious problem
C. bits of waste things D. industrial pollution
36-40小题：阅读下列短文，并根据短文内容判断其后的句子是否正确(T)、错误(F)，还是文字中没有涉及相关信息(NG)。

Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, "London is not
a city, it is a nation." Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast range of
different ethnic groups, is a world.
Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world. The city was founded
by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and
prosperity.
Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the
growing number of Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born
in Britain. Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of
Russian-Irish couples. None of them will be English, but all of them will be Londoners.
Most of Britain's ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300
languages. Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of
Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of
Britain and 36o/00 of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant
community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population of
London.
There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with
most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan.
Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and
hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their
parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds, and their friends
and partners do also. They are "skilled cross-cultural travellers" without leaving their
home-town.
36. London is a nation.
37. The city of London was founded by the Romans.
38. All African population live in London.
39. 390% of the total population of London are Chinese.
40. Old people are also "skilled cross-cultural travelers".

Sample ~
In a modern city, there are many means of transportation, such as subway, taxi, bus
and so on. But my favorite means of transportation is by bike.
First, riding a bike is good for keeping healthy. I spend one hour riding a bike to my
office on my working day, and I think it is a good form of physical exercise. Secondly, it is
money-saving. Recently, the private car drivers always complain the price of gas is higher
and higher, but if you ride a bike, it will cost you nothing. Thirdly, it is beneficial for
protecting the environment, so it is a "green" form of transportation.
Therefore, although it has some disadvantages, I like riding a bike best.
