People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms (体育馆). Here, people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.

How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes and a harness (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes (绳索) tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the next piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult part is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.

Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.

46. What can we infer from the passage?

A．People are fairly interested in climbing nowadays.??

B．It’s impossible to build up one’s body by climbing.

C．People can only learn the skill of climbing outdoors.

D．It’s always easy to see holding places in climbing.

47. The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is _________.

A．to tie ropes to your harness?????????? B．to control your fear

C．to move away from the wall?????????? D．to climb straight up

48. The word “workout” underlined in the last paragraph most probably means ??????.

A. settlement?????????? B. exercise C. excitement?????????? D. tiredness

49. Why does the author write this passage?

A．To tell people where to find gyms.

B．To prove the basic need for climbing.

C．To encourage people to climb mountains.

D．To introduce the sport of wall climbing.

B

They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon (大峡谷): on foot, on mules (骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early, my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.

As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizona’s famous heat seemed to roast (烘烤) us. There was no shade (阴凉处) and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.

The next day, after we’d had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon—by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.

We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed (翻转) the plane around, pretending (假装) he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.

As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I’d suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.

50. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?

A. They made a careful preparation before the trip.

B. The children were more joyful than their parents.

C. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.

D. The summer heat didn’t prevent them from enjoying the view.

51. The underlined expression “our leg were like jelly” probably means ________.

A. we were weak.?? ????????????? ??? B. we were unhappy

C. we were dissatisfied????????? ?? D. we were disappointed

C

The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light， I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff（东西）they call“books”.

I was going to have my examination the next day.“When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer. In fact I dared not.

The clock struck twelve.“Oh， dear！” I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed！” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.

The clock struck one. I was quite desperate（绝望的）now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed，“Oh，God，please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards，Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later，with my head on the desk，I fell asleep.

54. When the author was going over his lessons，all the
