    7．They survive in some of the coldest environments in the world-but even penguins（企鹅） appreciate a warm woolly jumper（套头毛衣）once in a while．
    The mini knitted garments have helped save hundreds of flightless birds caught in oil spills，providing protection from the elements and stopping them from eating poisonous pollution．
    Knits tor Nature，a program run by The Penguin Foundation，which protects the little penguin population of Phillip Island，140km south-east of Melbourne，has created up to 300different designs over the years-and it's all thanks to talented volunteers．
    "There's a lot of hidden creativity out there，"said Lyn Blom，of the Phillip Island Nature Park．"People love to know that they're helping the penguins because they're so cute and small and they waddle up the beach and they're so strong and determined．But they need to be，they 1ive in a pretty tough sort of environment．''
    A thumbnail-sized patch of oil can kill a little penguin，the smallest of the species，measuring just l3inches and weighing l kg．The oil separates and mats their feathers，breaking natural waterproofing and heating functions．
    Ms Blom estimates she has knitted between 200and 300penguin jumpers over the years．
    A staff member read an article in an English women's magazine about knitting for guillemot（海鸠）birds and decided to adapt the designs．
    "There's a lot of ladies out there who used to knit for their children and grandchildren．These ladies have spare wool and idle hands，and they love to feel loved and needed and we love and need them，"said Ms Blom．
    The Pengu in Foundation recently staged a competition for the most creative jumper，which received an enthusiastic response．
    The Penguin Foundation rescues approximately 20birds a year．They even have a stockpile of jumpers in case of emergency-such as the large oil spill Phillip Island in 2001．In that instance，453little penguins were affected，96percent of which were saved-most thanks to the jumpers．

    B．they live in a rather tough environment
    C．they're so lovely and smart
    D．they're so strong and determined
    49．Why can a patch of oil kill little penguins？A
    A．The oil ruins their feather's natural functions．
    B．Little penguins are too small to survive．
    C．The oil benefits their natural waterproofing．

    18．As the new semester begins，millions of college students across the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper or，more likely，how best to delay that paper．
    Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it．They can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space，eating snacks，surfing the Internet，watching videos and looking at other students sitting around them，who，most likely，are doing nothing either．
    Paralyzed （使失去活力） by their habit to procrastinate，they write micro blogs about their fears，asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue．But this does nothing to break the spell （魔咒）．
    According to a recent report，95percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20percent of the world's population are always procrastinating．The figures are disappointing．Procrastinators are less wealthy，less healthy and less happy than those who don't delay．Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior，but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong．
    Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure．Pelling says this is nonsense，as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time．The behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel ashamed，inconveniences others and annoys loved ones．
    Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent （过失的）in a society that thinks of speedy action as admirable，and，at times，even as a moral good．
    Fortunately，social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral mistake and offer strategies to control it．Piers Steel，a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation，believes human is"designed"to procrastinate．Nevertheless，he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand．

    69．From the first two paragraphs we can learn thatD．
    A．procrastination is beneficial to many students
    B．many students are under great pressure in their study
    C．lots of college students work hard to write good essays on time
    D．many students have the habit of delaying finishing their tasks
    70．Which behavior belongs to procrastination？D
    A．Never dream away the time．
    B．Always complete the tasks ahead of time．
    C．Never put off till tomorrow what should be done today．
    D．Always wait to work until the"good mood"or"good time"．
    71．According to the passage，which of the following statements is not true？B
    A．Procrastination makes people waste their time．
    B．Procrastinators usually complete their tasks perfectly．
    C．Speedy action is considered as a moral standard in the society．
    D．Procrastination is common among people．
    72．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows？A
    A．Measures to deal with procrastination．
    B．Approaches to handling the study pressures．
    C．More examples to illustrate procrastination．
    D．Introduction to the book The Procrastination Equation．

    2．There is no second chance…there is no chance of making mistakes．"
     That's why Dr．Omer Mei-Dan and others who enjoyed base-jumping and wingsuit（翼装） flying were sad but not surprised by the recent deaths of three extreme sports enthusiasts．
    Mark Sutton，the English parachutist（跳伞者），died on August 14 in Switzerland when he flew into a rocky ridge（山脊） in a wingsuit．Not even a week afterward，Mario Richard，a Canadian base-jumper，died in Italy during a wingsuit flight，when he"apparently failed to clear a rock by three meters．"And most recently，Hungarian wingsuit flyer Victor Kovats died in Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park in Zhangjiajie on Oct.9 during a practice flight ahead of the World Championships．
    According to Mei-Dan，six to seven percent of the 3，000 or so base-jumpers who use wingsuits or parachutes die each year-a huge number when you consider the most dangerous job in America，logging which has an annual death rate well under one percent of the workers．
    Base-jumpers and wingsuit flyers are experienced．They have hundreds of practice before trying to fly from buildings，cliffs and towers．The same goes for those who drop from helicopters above mountains and valleys and then use their wingsuits to try to whiz by（飞速掠过） as close as possible to the rocks and ridges below．
    Among the dangers，said Mei-Dan，is the temptation to"push the envelope"：To try to get close to a rock wall，for example，than anyone else．"When you push the envelope and you can not have any error at all，or you have to pay for it with your life．"
    So why do it？The experience of flying toward the ground in a wingsuit is almost indescribable．"It's something that you really have to try to understand-what type of feeling you get when you're free falling next to a cliff，"Mei-Dan said．
    41．What's the main idea of the first paragraph？D
    A．Trying wingsuit flying once is enough．
    B．Wingsuit flying is always easy to do．
    C．Wingsuit flying lasts only a short time．
    D．Even a single mistake in wingsuit flying is disastrous．
    42．How did other flyers react to the recent deaths of their fellows？D
    A．They thought the deaths could have been avoided．
    B．They felt the need of reconsidering the safety of wingsuit flying．
    C．They were sad and were in deep sorrow．
    D．They felt sad but did not find the deaths surprising．
    43．What does the third paragraph tell us？A
    A．How the three wingsuit flyers died
    B．Why wingsuit flying is so dangerous．
    C．Where wingsuit flying is most dangerous
    D．What a wingsuit flyer's career is like．
    44．What does the underlined phrase"push the envelope"mean？D
    A．To attempt to push further in a wingsuit．
    B．To risk moving the envelope away．
    C．To be determined to give up on oneself．
    D．To try to go beyond the normal limits of something．
    45．The extreme sports enthusiasts like wingsuit flying because theyC．
    A．want to know what it feels like           
    B．wish to describe the experience
    C．enjoy the wonderful experience        
    D．devote themselves to scientific research．

    19．Last spring my husband，Lawrence，and I agreed that it was time for us to move．Although we adoredour home in the northern district of New York，all our children and grandchildren had moved to the West Coast．We needed to be near them．
         But We didn't want to sell our house to just any buyer．We had three requirements in mind．The first was to find someone who loved our place as much as we did-after all，We'd lived there for more than thirty years．The second was to find a buyer who would share our faith and not bargain with us over the price of me home．And lastly，since moving rates dropped in the fall，we didn't want to move until mid-October．
        In this market I found out there was little hope that We'd sell our place，let alone find that perfect buyer，but still，I hoped for all three things．Weeks went by with no takers．Finally our real estate（房地产）agent phoned in August．"I've found someone who's indeed in love with your house．She's made a good offer．"He brought over some papers to sign and I made a note of the woman's name．
         Days later I was looking up a friend's phone number in our church directory（电话薄），running my finger down the long list of members．Suddenly I came across her name．Our buyer!"She loves our home and she's even a member of our church，"I said to Lawrence．"This could be perfect．"
         I practically held my breath for the next few days，the calls going back and forth to our agent．Finally he came by with the papers to sign．Pen in hand，he hesitated．
    "This buyer has just one more requirement，"he said．
        Oh，may no change happen，I thought．"What is it？"
    "She can't own the house until mid-October．"

    I know （67）a man who has a coin collection worth $250．He was very happy about his purchase and（68）thought（think） the price was reasonable．On the other hand，my youngest brother collects matchboxes．He has almost 600of them but I doubt if they are worth any money．However，to my brother they are （69）extremely （extreme） valuable．Nothing makes him（70）happier （happy） than to find a new matchbox for his collection．
    This is what a hobby means，I guess．It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for fun．The value in dollars is not important．We do it for the pleasure it gives．
