21、Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. 【1】 It may be mountaineering.

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment.

Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity from which men get their relaxation.

Mountaineering is a sport but not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. 【2】

If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. 【3】 There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams" of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. 【4】 His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve skills year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. 【5】 They may need more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

A．We should be mistaken in this.

B．He has to fight the forces of nature.

C．Teams compete against each other.

D．Climbing high mountains needs patience, skills and strength.

E．Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

F．It may be a game of some kind football, hockey, golf, or tennis.

G．But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps.

22、As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.

Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.

Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.

It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.

You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely.” Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things either, even if other kids do.

If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.

【1】For whom is the passage most probably written?

A. Spending more time with classmates.

B. Taking up more relaxing hobbies.

C. Choosing friends with no bad habits.

D. Helping others who are in trouble.

【4】What is the topic of the passage?

A. Friendship. B. Making decisions

23、Tang Zhou and his wife are planning to have their second child，a test—tube baby．His wife had a natural delivery when she was 34 and their first child，a boy, is now 7．The couple are now hoping to have a daughter through a surrogate mother(代孕)in the US．“My wife couldn’t bear another delivery because of her heart condition and her age．Surrogacy helps avoid the risks to older mothers，”Tang said，“Moreover, our second child will be born in the US and become a citizen there．That is not a bad choice．”

The couple spent weeks researching their move，looking for a reliable agency that provides surrogacy services overseas．Surrogacy is still illegal in many countries，including China．“We will be taking much higher risks by relying on a surrogate mother in China because we are not protected by any regulation or law．You pay a lot of money but may meet with many problems，”Tang said．“You might not even get your baby back．’’

Tang and his wife are part of an increasing number of Chinese couples who are turning to surrogacy services．Tang also considered surrogacy in Thailand but dropped the idea after recent reports about a baby with Down Syndrome(唐氏综合症)who was delivered through surrogacy and said to have been deserted in Thailand by the biological parents from Australia．Instead，Tang chose the California Surrogacy Center agency as his first option after reading the detailed introduction on its website．Compared with many other agencies that he could contact only via e．mail．the center has a consulting office in Beijing，Tang said．

The center is in San Diego，California，and has satellite offices in Los Angeles and Beijing．According to Liu，the center has been operating for more than eight years，and about 100 surrogate mothers live in California．

24、   Various studies have shown that increased spending on education has not led to measurable improvements in learning. Between 1980 and 2008, staff and teachers at U.S. public schools grew roughly twice as fast as students.【1】

Universities show similar trends of increased administration personnel and costs without greater learning, as documented in Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa's recent book Academically Adrift:Limited Learning on College Campuses.

A survey shows that 63% of employers say that recent college graduates don't have the skills they need to succeed and 25% of employers say that entry-level writing skills are lacking.

Some simplistically attribute the decline in our public education system to the drain of skilled students by private schools, but far more significant events were at work.

Public schools worked well until about the 1970s.【2】 It was the under performing students who were thrown out of public schools and went to private ones.

A prominent reason public schools did well was that many highly qualified women had few options for working outside the house other than being teachers or nurses. 【3】

Having such a large supply of talented women teachers meant that society could pay less for their services.Women’s liberation opened up new professional opportunities for women, and,over time, some of the best left teaching as a career option, bringing about agradual decline in the quality of schooling.

【4】Large education bureaucracies and unions came to dominate the landscape, confusing activity with achievement. Bureaucrats regularly rewrite curriculums, talk nonsense about theories of education, and require ever more administrators. The end result has been that, after all the spending, students have worse math and reading skills than both their foreign peers and earlier generations spending far less on education ---- as all the accumulating evidence has now documented.

A.They accepted relatively low pay, difficult working  conditions, and gave their very best.

B.In fact, until that time, public schools provided  far better education than private ones.

C. Achievement  tests have failed to truly reflect the quality of teaching.

D. The heavy  teaching loads left them little time and energy for family life.

E.Also around that time, regulations, government, and  unions came to dictate pay, prevent adjustments.

F.Yet students showed no additional learning in  achievement tests.
