The survival of Yates himself was 36 . That Simpson somehow found a way of 37 out of the crevasse after 12 hours and then crawled(爬行)and 38 himself six miles back to camp, 39 three days and might without food or drink, would be considered as a heroic fiction. But in fact it was so 40 .

三、阅读理解（每小题2分，共40分）
A
My parents knew their wealth: each other, their six children, and their faith. They tried to live simple lives so that they could have time for what was most important.
They didn’t busy themselves buying a bigger house, because that would mean working harder to pay the monthly mortgage(按揭贷款)，working overtime or taking second job. Who would go running with me then? Who would read stories to me?
They didn’t burden themselves with buying an expensive car because that would mean worrying about installment(分期付款) bills. Besides, walking to the shopping centre every Saturday afternoon with me gave my dad his needed exercise, and made me feel so special.
One of my heart’s delights was seeing Dad and Mom in their bedroom at night, after our nightly family prayer. The lights were turned off, and I’d see the figure of my father seated on his old chair and Mom standing behind him, gently massaging(按摩) his shoulders. I’d hear them talk about what happened during their day. Even as a child, I sensed their quiet pleasure in being together.
My question today: Could they have done this rich ritual(仪式) each night and nourished(滋润) their marriage if they had been busy paying for expensive clothes for themselves or their kids, or if they had been worrying about monthly bills for new hi-tech equipment? I don’t think so. And I’ve made a choice: I don’t want that of life either.

D. They went shopping together each day.
( ) 43. The author believed that his/her parents’ happiness was due to
A. their attitude towards life
B. their love for each other
C. their common interests
D. their ability to communicate with each other
( ) 44. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author .
A. got bored with his/her parents’ way of educating kids

The CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs’ story about death
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like : “If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered(遇到) to help me make the big choices in life.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor’ code for preparing yourself to die.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. I was completely in despair. Later that evening I had another biopsy(活组织检查) and my wife told me that tumor(肿瘤) turned out to be curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.
This was the closest I’ v been to facing death. To tell the truth, no one wants to die. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. It clears out the old to make room for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
Your time is so limited that you shouldn’t waste it repeating someone else’ life. Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people’ thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart. It somehow already knows what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

A.He thinks it is nothing to be scared of
B.He thinks it is impossible to avoid
C.He thinks it is not the end of life
D.He thinks it is the beginning of a new life
( ) 48. In the author’s opinion, we should .
A.follow others’ advice B.do what we want
C.keep a positive attitude towards life D.take exercise and keep healthy

Exploring space is a dream shared by many people, but few have ever experienced the thrill of space adventure. A few years ago, that field was open only to those who worked for NASA or the space programs of other nations. But now private companies are getting into the space race.
Google and the X PRIZE Foundation have joined forces to challenge ordinary people to explore the moon. The first team that successfully soft-lands a robotic rover(天体登陆车) on the moon will receive a $20 million prize. The second team to touch down on the moon will win $5 million. Teams can also win an additional $5 million in bonus prizes for completing tasks such as discovering water ice.
To win, contestants(竞争者) must land their craft on the surface of the moon and let it roam(漫游) for more than 500 meters, or 1,640 feet. The craft must also send video and Internet clips(片段) back to Earth in real time.

Teams are already gathering at the first commercial spaceport in the Mojave Dessert in California to work on their spaceship designs. Contestants have until December 31,2012 to qualify(取得资格)for the contest, which ends in2014.The last time humans went to the moon, the voyage inspired a generation of scientists and explorers.

Bert Bolin, a Swedish climate scientist and co—founder of the Nobel Peace Prize—winning UN panel (专门研究小组)on climate change, has died at age 82.
As early as the 1950s, Bolin produced research on the circulation of carbon in nature that remains related to the debate on climate change. He played a key role in communicating the dangers of climate change and served as the first chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) from 1988 to 1988.
The panel won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize along with former Vice President Al Gore for helping alert(警告)the world to the threat of global warming.
Bolin died on Sunday in a Stockholm hospital from stomach cancer, but was active until three days before his death, said his colleague Henning Rodhe, a professor in chemical meteorology.(气象学)at Stockholm University.
“He was a great organizer and leader and played an important role internationally in establishing links between scientists and decision—makers,” Rodhe said on Wednesday when announcing Bolin 's death.
“He was very happy that the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the IPCC and Al Gore. He was especially pleased about the fact that the prize was split (分割)in two, to award both the pure scientific work and the work of communicating these issues to the general public, ” he added.
According to Stockholm University, Bolin was initially supposed to travel to Oslo to accept the Prize on behalf of the IPCC, but was unable to do so due to poor health.
He received many awards for his research on climate change, including the Carl—Gustaf Rossby Research Medal in 1984, the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement in 1988 and the Blue Planet Prize in 1955.
