14、etimes a runner just wants to go further. Thats what happened to Dennis Martin and Brooke Curran. Martin, 68, a retired detective from New York City,took up running after his first wife died. Curran, 46, a philanthropist(慈善家)from Alexandria, started running to get out of the house and collect her th
15、oughts. Both she and Martin got good at running but felt the desire to do more. “The more I trained,the better I got,” Curran said,” but I would cross the finish line with no sense of accomplishment.” Eventually , they worked up to running marathons(马拉松)(and longer races) in other countries, on othe
16、r countries. Now both have achieved a notable -and increasingly less rate - milestone;running the 26.2-mile race on all seven continents. They are part of a phenomenon that has grown out of the running culture in the past two decades, at the intersection of athleticism and leisure: “runcations,” whi
17、ch combine distance running with travel to exotic places . There trips ,as expensive as they are physically challenging ,are a growing and competitive market in the travel industry. “In the beginning,running was enough ,”said Steen Albrechtsen, a press manager. “The classic marathon was the ultimate
18、 goal, then came the super marathons , like London and New York. But when 90,000 people a year can take that challenge, it is no longer exciting and adventurous . Hence, the search for new adventures began.” “No one could ever have imagined that running would become the lifestyle activity that it is
19、 today,” said Thom Gilligan, founder and president of Boston-based Marathon Tours and Travel. Gilligan, who has been in business since 1979, is partly responsible for the seven-continent phenomenon. It started with a casual talk to an interviewer about his company offering trips to every continent e
20、xcept Antarctica. And then in 1995,Marathon Tours hosted its first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island. Off the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula: 160 runners got to the starting line of a dirt-and ice-trail route via a Russian icebreaker through the Drake Passage. (分数:1.00)(1).At the beginning,

So many colleges ran i
25、n loco parentis system. “ In loco parentis” is a Latin term meaning “in the place of a parent.” It describes when someone else accepts responsibility to act in the interests of a child. This idea developed long ago in British common law to define the responsibility of teachers toward their students.
26、 For years, American courts upheld in loco parentis in cases such as Gott versus Berea College in 1913. Gott owned a restaurant off campus. Berea threatened to expel students who ate at places not owned by the school. The Kentucky high court decided that in loco parentis justified that rule. In loco
27、 parentis meant that male and female college students usually had to live in separate buildings. Women had to be back at their dorms by ten or eleven on school nights. But in the 1960s, students began to protest rules and restrictions like these. At the same time, courts began to support students wh
28、o were being punished for political and social dissent. In 1960, Alabama State College expelled six students who took part in a civil rights demonstration. They sued the school and won. After that it became harder and harder to defend in loco parentis. At that time, students were not considered adul
29、ts until 21. Then, in 1971, the 24th amendment to the Constitution set the voting age at eighteen. So in loco parentis no longer really applied. Slowly, colleges began to treat students not as children, but as adults. Students came to be seen as consumers of educational services. Gary Dickstein, an
30、assistant vice president at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, says in loco parentis is not really gone. It just looks different. Todays parents, he says, are often heavily involved in students lives. They are known as “helicopter parents.” They always seem to hover over their children. Gary D
31、ickstein says these parents are likely to question decisions, especially about safety issues and grades. They want to make sure their financial investment is not being wasted. (分数:1.00)(1).Before the 1970s, many colleges ran in loco parentis system because . (分数:0.20)A.they could take the place of t
32、he students parentsB.parents asked them to do it for the interests of their childrenC.this was a tradition established by British collegesD.college students were regarded as too young to be treated as adults(2).Who won the case of Gott versus Berea College in 1913?

35、s about their childrens education than beforeD.have different opinions on their childrens educationPassage Three We tend to think of plants as the furniture of the natural word. They dont move, they dont make sounds, they dont seem to respond to anything at least not very quickly. But as is often th
36、e case, our human view of the world misses quite a lot. Plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical. Over the years scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, release compounds into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warn
37、ings all have the same purposeto spread information about one plants disease so other plants can defend themselves. But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still mysterious. In this weeks Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers in Japan offer some expl
38、anations. They have identified one chemical message and traced it all the way from release to action. The scientists looked at tomato plants infested(侵害) by common pest, the cutworm caterpillar(毛虫). To start out, they grew plants in two plastic compartments connected by a tube. One plant was infeste
39、d and placed upwind and the others were uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later exposed to the cutworm caterpillar. The results showed that plants that had previously been near sick neighbors were able to defend themselves better against the caterpillar. The researchers also s
40、tudied leaves from exposed and unexposed plants. They found one compound showed up more often in the exposed plants. The substance is called Hex Vic. When the scientists fed Hex Vic to cutworms, it knocked down their survival rate by 17%. The scientists identified the source of Hex Vic, and sprayed
41、it lightly over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to start producing the caterpillar-killing Hex Vic. Researchers confirmed that uninfested plants have to build their own weapon to fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to play defense? They are warned first by their friendly p
42、lant neighbors. It is a complex tale, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. For now though, we know that plants not only communicate, they look out for one another. (分数:1.00)(1).What does the aut
43、hor try to emphasize in Paragraph 1? (分数:0.20)A.How plants communicate is still a mystery.B.Enough attention has been paid to plant talk.C.Plants are the furniture of the natural world.D.Plants can communicate with each other.(2).According to Paragraph2, what remains unknown is _ (分数:0.20)A.how plan

45、ely but connected through airB.exposed to different kinds of pestsC.exposed to the pest at the same timeD.placed together in a closed compartment(4).The experiment shows that the infested plant helps its neighbors by _ (分数:0.20)A.making more Hex Vic to attract the pestB.releasing Hex Vic into the ai
46、r to warn themC.letting them know how to produce Hex VicD.producing enough Hex Vic to kill the pest(5).What may be the best title for the passage? (分数:0.20)A.Survival of PlantsB.Plant WorldC.Talking PlantsD.Plant Bug KillerPassage Four Vancouver is the best place to live in the Americas, according t
47、o a quality-of-life ranking published earlier this month. The city regularly tops such indexes as its clean air, spacious homes and weekend possibilities of sailing and skiing. But its status as a liveable city is threatened by worsening congestion(拥挤).Over the next three decades, another I million
48、residents are expected to live in the Greater Vancouver region, adding more cars, bicycles and lorries to roads that are already struggling to serve the existing 2.3 million residents. A proposal by Vancouvers mayor seeks to prevent the worsening conditions. Upgrades would be made to 2,300 kilometre
49、s of road lanes, as well as bus routes and cycle paths. Four hundred new buses would join the fleet of 1,830. There would be more trains and more “seabus” ferry crossings between Vancouver and its wealthy northern suburbs. To get all that, residents must vote to accept an increase in sales tax, from 7% to 7.5%. Polls suggest they will vote no. Everyone agrees that a more efficient transport system is needed.
