He loves to climb, and there is no place greater for climbers than the Himalayan peak of 29,035 feet, he world’s highest mountain.Weihenmayer is blind. He has been blind since age 13, when an eye disease robbed him of his sight. His new book, Touch the Top of the World, A blind Man’s Journey to Climb Farther than the EyeCan See, describes his blindness and climbing. He is the first blind man to attempt Everest. The team reached base camp at 17,800 feet last Wednesday and begins its climb Saturday. If all goes well, Weihenmayer will reach the top on or about May 15.“I’m not just some token blind guy,”Weihrnmayer, aged 32,said hours before he left Los Angeles on Friday for Katmandu, Nepal.“I put my life in my fellow climbers’ hands, and they put their lives in my hands. It’s an honor to reach that state.”“I want to experience the sense of adventure. Blindness has nothing to do with that But a message of the climb is that a blind person can join a team and climb the highest mountain in the world.”Weihenmayer has climbed the highest peaks on four continents North America’s Mount McKinley, South America’s Aconcagua, Africa’s Kilimanjaro and Antarctica’s Vinson Massif. He is an expert rock and ice climber, having scaled EL Capitan in Yosemite National Park. When he was 16,he attended a school that taught blind people to be independent.

Participants(参加者)are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people.The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humor. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh.This is a subject that has long interested psychologists（心理学家）and philosophers（哲学家）.Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects of us and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves.By December 2001 over 10,000 jokes had been submitted. This gave the scientists enough evidence（证据）to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humor, for instance.“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor,” said Dr. Wiseman. “Males use humor to appear superior（优越）to others, while women are more skilled in la nguages and prefer word play.”Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humor. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humor”. But the French like their jokes short and sharp: “You’re a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $500?”“Y es. What’s the second question?”The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humor. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I don’t know, but let’s say yes, just to be safe.Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief. Computers already seem like they can do everything. At least they should leave the funny stuff to us.7. Scientist started “the laugh lad ” project .A. to find the funniest joke in European countriesB. to know what funny people are from different nations and culturesC. to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humor.D. to get more personal details about participants8. We can infer from the passage that .A. most of the people all over the world are completely honestB. psychologists and philosophers take interest in the “laugh lab”projectC. ordinary people are not interested in “the laugh lab”project at allD. people tell the truth about themselves only when they laugh9. What is the main idea of the 4th and 5th paragraph?A. Man and woman have different senses of humor.B. Male and female have similar senses of humor.C. About 10,000 jokes have been submitted from September 2001 to December 2001.D. Scientists have collected enough evidence to make conclusions.10. The writer gave the examples of the British, the French and the Germans .A. to show that the French people have a better sense of humorB. to prove the British people have a sense of “toilet humor”C. to show people from different nations have different senses of humorD. to prove that the Germans have no sense of humor11. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. The jokes by computer are less funny than those by humans.B. The Germans cannot find the submitted jokes amusing.C. Males are better at word play compared with women.D. Females like to use humor to show that they are superiors.DRome—Doctors and medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition to the news that an Italian specialist is on the brink of cloning (克隆) the first human baby.Dr. Severino Antinori, who is the head of a hospital in Rome, has been referred to in an Arab newspaper as claiming that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant（怀孕）with a cloned baby.Antinori refused to comment on the reports, but in March 2001 he said he hoped to produce a cloned embryo（卵）for implantation within two years. So far seven different kinds of mammals have already successfully cloned, including sheep, cats and most recently rabbits.Doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admit that human cloning would finally come true unless there was a world wide ban on the practice.Professor Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology：“I find it astonishing that people do this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby. It is using humans as guinea pigs. It makes people feel sick.”But Ronald Green, director of the Ethics Institute at Darmouth College in the US, said it is unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead to a birth.So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders, many of them dying soon after their births.Doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the cloned child if there is one.“There are no benefits of cloned human beings, just harm,”said Dr .Michael Wilks of the UK.12. What do the underlined words“on the brink of”in the first paragraph mean most probably?A. on the side ofB. on the point ofC. in search ofD. in favour of13. What is the doctors’ general attitude to cloning of humans according to the passage?A. They are against itB. They support itC. They welcome itD. They pay no attention to it.14. What does the underlined word“ban”in the third paragraph mean most probably?A. order that forbids cloningB. suggestion to carrying on cloningC. anger at cloningD. cheer for cloning15. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Dcotor Severino Antinori is strongly opposed to cloning human beings.B. Up to now, seven kinds of animals have been cloned, including sheep, cats humans and rabbits.C. Professor Rudolf Jaenisch is carrying on an experiment on cloning an eight-week-old embryo.D. Ronald Green doubts about the future successful birth of the so-called cloned embryo.16. Which is the best title for the passage?A. The Success of Cloning HumansB. The Anger at Cloning HumansC. Failure of Cloning HumansD. First Cloned Human?EWhile it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.Try physical activityWhen you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you to relax. Y our body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.Share your stressIt helps to talk to someone about your anxieties and worries .Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher or even your leader can help you a better view of what’s troubling you. If you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist or a doctor. Knowing when to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later.Take care of yourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well e nough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor.Make time for yourselfSchedule time for both work and entertainment. Don’t forget, play can be just as important to you over-all well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.Make a list of the things you need to doStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”.Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first.Go ahead and cryA good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety. It might even help you avoid a headache or other physical effect of anxiety and stress.17. What is most probably the writer’s purpose in writing the article?A. To release his or her wrong pressure.B. To help solve the universal problem of stress.C. To reduce his or her anxiety.D. To have more people cry out.18. Physical activity can help people release stress in that .A. only your body movement can help you relaxB. your mind can work better to free you of anxietyC. your body and mind can cooperate in releasing stressD. physics can always play an important part in reducing nervousness19. What is similarity between“Share your stress”and“Go ahead and cry”?A. They both help you let out your feelingsB. They both need physical movement.C. They both require mental relaxationD. They can help you live an orderly life.20. The sentence “Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything.” is close to the meaning of“ ”.A. Strike the iron while it is hot.B. More hurry, less speed.C. Practice makes perfect.D. Quietness wins time.高一英语清华北大班入学选拔卷答题卡姓名: 分数:注意: 答案须填在答题卡上有效。
