His son, Dallas Seavey, now 26, ended up ranking fourth, behind the older competitor, 43-year-old Aliy Zirkle, who followed four-time champion Jeff King, now 57.Mitch Seavey, who lives in Seward, Alaska, operates a seasonal sled-dog touring business. The race was Mitch Seaveys 20th Iditarod.This years contest was marked by unusual conditions and unseasonable rain in the northern part of the trail, and conditions that Seavey said helped his team. “It seems like the tougher it is, the better we can do.”He also thought highly of Zirkle, a New England immigrant（移民）who now lives in Two Rivers, Alaska. “Shes a great musher（赶狗拉雪橇的人）, and shes going to win the Iditarod sometime, and probably more than once. We just had a little more energy, I think.” Zirkle, one of the most popular mushers, was greeted by shouts of “Aliy, Ally” from the fans as she drove her dog team approaching the finishing line on Nomes Front Street. “I am pretty happy to be here,” she said. “I was going for it.”The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is one of the few major U. S. sports events in which men and women compete on an equal footing. The name “Iditarod” dates from a local Athabascan term meaning “a far, distant place”. Youthful mushers in the race may have some physical advantages-they can do some things more easily. But more importantly, winning the race needs the experience in dog race.The years event started on Saturday, March 2 with a ceremonial nm in Anchorage. Of the 66 mushers who started the race, 10 had dropped out of competition as of Tuesday night. For his victory, Mitch Seavey will take home $50,400 and a new truck.56. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Mitch Seavey is the oldest competitor in the sled-dog race in 2013.B. Mitch Seavey, who operates a touring business, is a New England immigrant.C. Mitch Seavey won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 2004 and 2013.D. Mitch Seavey managed to help his son become the youngest winner in 2012.57. On which day did Mitch Seavey probably win the champion in the 2013 Iditarod?A. On Saturday, March 2. B. On Monday, March 11.C. On Saturday, March 9. D. On Tuesday, March 13.58. Who ranked the 2nd place in the 2013 Iditarod according to the passage?A. Aliy Zirkle. B. Dallas Seavey. C. Mitch Seavey. D. Jeff King.59. According to the passage, we can learn that _.A. the sled-dog race is the most important sports event in the USB. experience also has a major influence on the result of the race besides ageC. men and women cant compete in the sled-dog race together at the same timeD. all the athletes in the sled-dog race are limited by age to win the sled-dog raceBWhich comes first, happiness or money? Are richer people happier? And if so, how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer.The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29. Those who were happiest earned an average of $8,000 more than those who were the most depressed.The researchers, from University College London and the University of Warwick, say that very gloomy teens, no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the ha ppier ones earned up to 30% more.Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life. It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends, who are often the key to homework help or networking.A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness. In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women, Alas （the same gene doesnt appear to have the same effect on men）. And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier k id s, is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework? The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades. Studies do show, after all, that more education leads to better-paid jobs, which may give us a deep thought.“These findings show that the teenagers happiness is important to their future success,” one of the reports authors writes. “But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork.”60. What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study?A. Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.B. Money can make people become happier.C. Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.D. Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.61. The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that _.A. they are easy to communicate with othersB. they are good at doing their schoolworkC. they are hopeful and optimistic about their lifeD. they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day62. The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”.A. upset B. glorious C. happy D. wealthy63. What can be the best title for the text?A. The way to educate kids. B. The source of happiness.C. How to achieve your goal. D. The secret of being wealthier.CAnother day begins with the call of the phones alarm, Where are you? Open your eyes. Turn the alarm off and you will start working out on your apps（应用软件）.First stop, weather: Sunny day. Look outside the window. Oh, no, it isnt. Second stop, Air Quality Index: 344, dangerous, Level 6 Severely Polluted. Mental recheck required: It really is a sunny day and the weather app isnt lying or in need of being replaced, its just that you cant see the sun throug h the thick fog. Note to self: Cycling to work is out, face mask is in.Has the world stopped turning? News app merely confirms that its business as usual. Another government has fallen, your soccer team has lost again, and Chinas economy is still increasing steadily.Diary app informs you of all the things you failed to do the previous day and loads you up with another half-dozen tasks. Next, browse a couple of social networking apps to determine the status updates of friends.Another sound from the phone, its a message from your significant friend who is already at work, saying the Taobao. com order for Italian cheese is about to arrive.Apps have become part of our “every-moment” lives. Apps provide so much information. But the dark side to all this connectivity would be lack of privacy, being a slave to the app. The only real problem is that once you lose your smartphone, you lose your life.Some friends and family do not have smartphones, but prefer the old-fashioned Nokia that merely makes phone calls and sends instant messages. While I respect their purity and desire to be free of the control of technology, its obvious they are outsiders, and their lives are loaded up with paper and old devices. Theyre still buying books at stores, complaining the lack of CDs on the market, watching TV and missing out on complete news cycles. Though I would add, the y have lives that arent spent inside small screens.My phone is a palm-sized one-stop shop and about the only thing it doesnt do is teleport（心灵运输）. Whats not to like?64. The functions of apps mentioned in the passage can be listed as follows EXCEPT that _.A. the apps can show you weather forecastB. the apps can tell you how to work directlyC. the apps can inform you the latest newsD. the apps can tell you what you failed to do 65. According to the passage, the author thinks that _.A. peoples life is governed by apps B. people feel bored about the use of appsC. people cant live without apps D. people hate apps with powerful functions66. It can be inferred from the last paragraph but one that _.A. more and more people like Nokia more than appsB. using Nokia can be free of the control of technologyC. all people dont like the advanced smartphonesD. ordinary people dont like shopping onlineDFestivals play an important role in a cultures identity. I cant think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. Here are some special festivals around the world. Boryeong Mud Festival-Boryeong, South KoreaFor two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as a way of promoting the regions mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party , complete with music and fireworks. While the mud is usually only available in cosmetic products, here you can cake yourself in grey as you want. Holi-lndiaHoli, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of Indias most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of bright colored powder. The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, but the cheerful spirit is common throughout Hindu communities around the world.
