36、lorEllen MacArthur started sailing when she was eight, going out on sailing trips with her aunt. She loved it so much that she saved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boat. When she was 18, she sailed alone around Britain and won the “Young Sailor of the Year” award.But Ellen

37、really became famous in 2001. Aged only 24, she was one of only two women who entered the Vendee Globe round the world solo race, which lasted 100 days. In spite of many problems, she came second in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when she returned.Ambition and d

38、etermination have always been a big part of Ellens personality. When she was younger, she lived in a kind of hut(棚屋)for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a transatlantic race. Then she took a one-way ticket to France, bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht, slept

39、under it while she was repairing it, and then she raced it 4,000 kilometers across the Atlantic in 1997, alone for 33 days.Ellen has had to learn many things, because sailing single-handed means that she has to be her own captain, electrician, sail maker, engineer, doctor, journalist, cameraman and

40、cook. She also has to be very fit, and because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time when shes in the middle of the ocean. She has trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time. And she needs courage. Once, in the middle of the ocean, she had to climb the mast(桅杆)of a boat to

41、 repair the sails at four oclock in the morning with 100 kph winds blowing around her. It took her many hours to make the repairs. Ellen says, “I was worn out when I came down. Its hard to describe how it feels to be up there. Its like trying to hold onto a big pole, which for me is just too big to

42、get my arms around, with someone kicking you all the time and trying to shake you off.” But in her diary, Ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile: “A beautiful sunrise started the day with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun. I have a very strong feeling of pleasure, b

43、eing out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this. I just feel lucky to be here.”60. In the Vendee Globe race, Ellen won_ . A. a gold medalB. the “Young Sailor of the Year” awardC. the “Best Woman Sailor” awardD. the second place 61. Ellen lived in a kind of hut for three years _.A. beca

44、use she was interested in country lifeB. while she was trying to get financial support for a race C. because she was ambitious for the coming raceD. while she was learning how to repair her sails62. The word “solo” in the title could be best replaced by _.A. self-starterB. single-handedC. self-madeD

45、. single-mast63. How does Ellen feel about the Vendee Globe race?A. It is relaxing. B. It is dangerous.C. It is surprising.D. It is enjoyable. CChildrens lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?Its difficult to look back on ones own c

46、hildhood without some element of nostalgia(怀旧的). I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them, playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearb

47、y woods. My parents scarcely appear in these memories, except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure. These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed dramatically. Firstly, families are smaller, and there are far more only children

48、. It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isnt time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result, todays boys and girls spend much of their time alone. Another major change is that yo

49、ungsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home, inside. More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldnt dream of letting their children play outside by themselves. Finally, the kind of toy

50、s children have and the way they play is totally different. Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood. The irony(令人啼笑皆非的事情) is that so many ways of playing games are called “interactive”. The fact that you can play electronic games on your

51、 own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today. Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same. 64. What is the purpose of the direct question

52、given in the first paragraph?A. To get peoples attention and lead in the topic.B. To gather peoples opinions on childhood.C. To show who the passage is written for.D. To compare the childhood lives of two generations.65. Which is NOT a reason for the changes?A. Families are smaller today.B. Parents

53、worried too much about their children.C. Toys can be played by children alone at home.D. Its too dangerous to play outside.66. What has the writer focused on in the fourth paragraph? A. Young people today shouldnt play electronic games.B. Some games that young people play today arent really good.C.

54、Computer and video games have replaced the board games.D. Board games are much more interesting than computer games.67. The writers attitude towards the childhood changing is _ .A. approvingB. unconcernedC. objectiveD. optimisticD Educating girls quite possibly gets a higher rate of return than any

55、other deal available in the developing world. Womens education may be unusual field for economists, but increasing womens contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social project. And economics, with its emphasis on incentives (激励), provides an explanation for why so many girls lose the chance of an education. Parents in low-income countries dont send their daughters to school because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody elses family and bear ch
