Alexander von Humboldt was born in 1769 in Berlin, Germany. As a young boy, he wanted to learn about the world. Humboldt followed his dream. In 1799, he traveled with a friend to Central and South America.
On their trip, Humboldt and his friend saw and did many things. They sailed down the Amazon River. They watched dolphins play in the ocean. They explored the rain forest and climbed mountains and volcanoes. They were able to make the first maps of the northern part of South America.
Humboldt set a world record for mountain-climbing. He also made a discovery. During his climb, Humboldt became very sick. He found out that the higher he climbed, the less oxygen there was in the air. This made it more difficult to breathe. Later, this became known as mountain sickness.
Science was another part of Humboldts interests. He wanted to write about all of the new things he saw. He described the new plants, animals, and rocks which had never been seen by scientists before.
Humboldt also studied the way of life of the local people. He learned how the native people along the Amazon River used plants in their daily lives. For example, they used a strong poison from a vine (蔓生植物) to make poisoned arrows. The natives used these arrows for hunting their food.
The Amazon Indians also used a native plant to treat malaria (瘧疾), a serious illness. The plant grew wild, but after it was dug up, it was never replanted. Humboldt warned the natives that the plant was in danger of dying out. He looked for ways to protect the plant and to make it grow strong.
Although Humboldt took many risks during his trip, he lived to be 90 years old. In his lifetime, he made many discoveries and shared them with the world. As a tribute (颂扬) to Humboldt, there are rivers and mountains named after him.
24. Humboldt and his friend made maps of ___ .
A. the southern part of Central America B. the northern part of Central America
C. the northern part of South America D. the central part of South America
25. What do we know about mountain sickness?

C. It is a serious illness like malaria. D. It can be treated with a plant.
26. We can tell from the last paragraph that Humboldt was ___ .
A. imaginative B. easy-going C. optimistic D. respectable
27. What does Humboldt probably do?
A. An explorer. B. An inventor. C. A doctor. D. A writer.
C
Trekking (跋涉) 500 miles across Spain is no easy task for anyone, but for wheelchair user Justin Skeesuck, achieving the dream seemed nearly impossible. However, Skeesucks lifelong best friend, Patrick Gray, simply didnt accept that idea. He said, “Weve done everything together so far. Why dont we have one more adventure?”
Thats exactly what he did—pushing Skeesuck across northern Spains Camino de Santiago. Though Skeesuck has a muscle disease similar to ALS (肌萎缩侧索硬化) and high blood pressure, he first got the idea to go on the journey after he watched a travel show about the trail. He said, “I knew immediately since my heart was just telling me, ‘You need to do this.
Finally, the two best friends from Idaho set off to make Skeesucks dream of going for the journey a reality. However, neither Gray nor Skeesuck realized how physically and emotionally arduous the trip would be. Not only did they have a strict time limit—about six weeks to get from start to finish, but they also faced extremely difficult obstacles (障礙). The pair crossed mountains, rivers and a desert. “Ive never been that exhausted physically in my entire life,” Gray said. The pair came across countless kind people during their trip who were eager to help them finish their journey, but they refused their help with gentle words. 34 days later, the two best friends finished their journey.
Gray recorded their incredible trip in a book—appropriately titled Ill Push You: A Journey of 500 Miles, Two Best Friends and One Wheelchair, which would be published soon. Skeesuck and Gray are also working on a childrens book that will tell the story of their adventure. They hope that the book will give kids strength when they deal with difficulties.
28. What can we learn about Patrick Gray from Paragraph 1?
A. He is a wheelchair user.
B. He had been to Spain several times before.
C. He didnt think trekking 500 miles was an adventure.
D. He wanted to challenge what was thought impossible.

31. Why did the two friends write a childrens book on that journey?
A. To persuade kids to take a trip to Spain. B. To earn some money by selling the book.
C. To encourage kids to face difficulties bravely. D. To show kids the beautiful natural scenery of Spain.

As the most common and popular forms of energy are being used up quickly, the search to find new sources of energy is underway. These sources of energy must be renewable and not cause the pollution that fossil fuels do. Among them are solar energy, geothermal energy, wind energy and tidal energy.
We can get endless solar energy from the sun. The main problem is to collect and store this energy in an economical way. We can receive energy from the sun with plates or cells. Collectors put on roofs of houses and other buildings turn solar energy into heat. With this energy we can heat up water or the air inside. Solar cells transform the suns light directly into electricity.
Geothermal power can be produced in places where water comes into contact with hot rock below the earths surface. The water that reaches these hot areas turns into steam, which then produces electricity. Geothermal heat is an important source of energy in countries or regions that lie in volcanic areas, like Iceland, Italy, New Zealand or California.
Windmills have been used for centuries to grind grain into flour between two large stones or pump (用泵输送) water out of areas that have been flooded. Today, large wind generators turn the power of wind into electricity. Such devices, however, can only be used in places with strong and constant (恒定的) winds. At the moment, though, costs are too high to produce wind energy on a big scale.
Tidal energy comes from the movement of ocean waves. One way to use the power of waves is to seal off a bay with a dam. When water moves into and out of the bay it turns a turbine (渦轮), which produces electricity. There are some coastal areas around the world where the difference between high and low tide is up to 10 meters or more. Great Britain, Germany and France have coastal regions where such power can be created.
32. The main problem about solar energy is how to ___ .
A. find the right place to fix plates or cells B. collect and store it economically
C. use cells to store electricity D. cut down the costs for it
33. Geothermal energy comes from ___ .
A. heat below the earths surface B. tides from the sea
C. the wind D. the sun
34. How can windmills be used?
a. To grind grain into flour.
b. To move a turbine by boiling water.
c. To pump water out of flooded areas.
d. To turn the power of wind into electricity.
A. a, b, c B. a, b, d C. a, c, d D. b, c, d
35. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Tidal energy was used in our daily life centuries ago.
B. We can collect and store energy from the sun for free.
C. Some kinds of energy mentioned in the text will cause air pollution.
D. Environmentally-friendly and renewable sources of energy are badly in need.

Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want. 36
Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. 37 One of the first kinds of money was shells.
Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money for a long time. Elephant tusks (象牙), monkey tails and salt were used as money in parts of Africa.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. 38
Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. 39 Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later some countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. 40 The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
A. They began to use paper money.
B. The first coins in England were made of tin.
C. Money, as we know, is usually made of paper.
D. When they work, they usually get paid in money.
E. But people used to use all kinds of things as money.
F. No one knows for certain when people began to use money.
G. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.
