Would you like to join an all-women’ s expedition to Annapurna? You must be an experienced high altitude climber, strong, enthusiastic and a hard worker! If you think this is for YOU, please contact: Arlene Blum, Berkeley, California, USA.

Many women wrote to them from all over the world, but they could only choose ten. When the final team was chosen, the youngest was twenty years old, the oldest was fifty.

For Arlene, finding the climbers was only the first step. The team needed another important thing: money. There were long talks at Vera Watson’ s house, when they discussed how to make the 80,000 dollars they would need for the expedition. With the help of enthusiastic friends, they organized dances, sports, and parties. They even sold expedition T- shirts. After many months, and a lot of hard work, they finally had the money they needed.

Now at last they were in Kathmandu, the city where their great adventure would begin. Arlene looked round at the women in the airport. They looked tired after the long journey from Francisco, but happy to be in Nepal at last. There had been so many friends and families at the airport to say goodbye. It had been difficult to leave the people they loved. Irene had looked so sad when she said goodbye to her daughters. Arlene had found it very difficult to leave her boyfriend, John. For all of them there was the chance that they would never see their families or friends again.

All climbing in the Himalayas is dangerous. One in ten of the people who go there do not come back. Annapurna was very dangerous because of its avalanches. Arlene knew the avalanches very well. On the expedition film she said…

21. Which of the following is not a must for the interviewees?

C. A woman in good figure. D. An enthusiastic woman.

C. organizing birthday parties D. selling expedition T-shirts

23. Kathmandu is located in ______ .

A. California. B. America. C. San Francisco. D. Nepal.

24. What would Arlene say in the following paragraph?

A. The sense of achievement when she climbed on the top of the mountains.

You put a great deal of effort into reaching the college of your choice. It’ s time to get started. But what’ s next? Beginning college can be an exciting but awkward time. Follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience.

● To save time and money, use the college’ s bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. You won’ t have to locate or afford a place to park either. It’ s also a good way to be environmentally aware.

● Save pennies on books by waiting until class starts. You might not even need all of the recommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks — it’ s a surefire way to save money and serves the purpose as well.

● Do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities. But there is a whole lot more to college if you’re serious about graduating. Having a good college experience is all about balancing work and fun.

● Be mindful of your diet. Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that are processed or high in sugar. The “freshman 15”is real. Many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year.

● While electives（选修课）can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldn’t entirely rely on them. Clubs and other organizations exist around. Get involved. Make sure, though, that you still have time to study. Having too much on your plate can hurt your grades.

25. Which of the following ideas can be financially wise?

A. Driving your own car. B. Renting an apartment.

C. Buying used books. D. Attending activities.

26. The “freshman 15”tells the fact that some freshmen ______.

A. take relaxed attitudes to their diets

B. have little regular physical exercise

C. focus less on their academic work

D. attend limited activities on campus

27. The underlined phrase“ having too much on your plate” probably refers to ______.

A. using too much money for meals

B. taking part in too many after-class activities

C. eating too many unhealthy foods

D. taking an elective that has too many students

C

PEOPLE may use the expression “birdbrain” in English to talk about someone who is stupid, but crows prove that this is unfair. Now it has been discovered that crows may understand analogies（类推法） .

To test this ability in animals, scientists do “relational matching-to-sample (RMTS)”tests. If a pair was AA, for example, then picking BB to match it would be correct.

An international team led by Edward Wasserman in the US first trained two crows to match things by color, shape, and number in what is called“ identity matching-to-sample (IMTS)” , then moved onto RMTS.

For the IMTS test, the birds were put in a cage with a plastic tray that had three cards and two cups in it. The card in the middle was the sample card. The cups on either side were covered with the other two cards. One was the same as the sample, while the other wasn’ t. The cup with the card that matched the sample card contained two worms to eat.

In the second part of the experiment, the birds were tested with relational matching pairs. A card with two same- sized circles, for example, meant they should pick the test card with two same-sized squares and not two different-sized circles.

The birds did well in the more difficult test and picked the correct card more than three quarters of the time.

Wasserman was surprised that crows were able to solve the problem without any training in RMTS. He said in a news release: “Honestly, if it was only by force that the crows showed this learning, then it would have been an impressive result. But this was spontaneous.”

So perhaps it’ s time to stop saying ” birdbrain” permanently.

28. Why does the author mention the expression “birdbrain” in the opening paragraph?

A. To get the reader interested in the origins of the expression.

B. To urge people to stop saying that birds are stupid.

C. To introduce the topic of Edward Wasserman and his experiment.

D. To introduce recent findings about crow’ s intelligence.

29. Which of the following is TURE about the tests on the crows?

A. The birds did better in RMTS than in IMTS.

B. The birds were first made to do RMTS, then IMTS.

C. The birds picked almost all the correct cards in RMTS

D. In the IMTS test, the birds needed to identify the sample card to get rewards.

30. The underlined word“spontaneous”is closest in meaning ______.

A. natur
