Sometimes a runner just wants to go further. Thats what happened to Dennis Martin and B
18、rooke Curran. Martin, 46 , 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 thoughts. Both she and Martin got good at running but felt the desire to do more. “
19、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 other continents. Now both have achieved a notable-and increasingly less rare miles
20、tone: 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,“ which combine distance running with travel to exotic places. These trips, as expe
21、nsive 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 goal, then came the super marathons, like London and New York. But when 90,
22、 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 today,“ said Thorn Gilligan, founder and president of Boston-based Marathon
23、 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 very continent except Antarctica. And then in 1995, Marathon Tours hosted its first Antarcti
24、ca 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. 21 At the beginning, Martin took up running just to_. （ A） meet requirements of his job （ B） win a running
25、 race （ C） join in a philanthropic activity （ D） get away from his sadness 22 Martin and Curran are mentioned as good examples of_. （ A） winners in the 26. 2-mile race on all seven continents （ B） people who enjoy long running as a lifestyle activity （ C） running racers satisfied with their own perf
26、ormance （ D） old people who live an active life after retirement 23 A new trend in the travel industry is the development of_. （ A） challenging runcations （ B） professional races （ C） Antarctica travel market （ D） expensive tours 24 The classic marathon no longer satisfies some people because_. （ A）
27、 it does not provide enough challenge （ B） it may be tough and dangerous （ C） it involves too fierce a competition （ D） it has attracted too many people 25 The first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island indicates that_. （ A） international cooperation is a must to such an event （ B） runcations a
28、re expensive and physically challenging （ C） Marathon Tours is a leader of the travel industry （ D） adventurous running has become increasingly popular 25 Before the 1970s, college students were treated as children. So many colleges ran in loco parentis system. “ In loco parentis“ is a Latin term, m
29、eaning “ 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. For years, American courts upheld in loco parentis in cas
30、es 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 parentis meant that male and female college students usua
31、lly 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 who were being punished for political and social dissent. In
32、 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 adults until 21. Then, in 1971, the 24th amendment to the Con
33、stitution 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 assistant vice president at Wright State University in Da
34、yton, 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 Dickstein says these parents are likely to question decisi
35、ons, especially about safety issues and grades. They want to make sure their financial investment is not being wasted. 26 Before the 1970s, many colleges ran in loco parentis system because_. （ A） they could take the place of the students parents （ B） parents asked them to do it for the interests of
36、 their children （ C） this was a tradition established by British colleges （ D） college students were regarded as too young to be treated as adults 27 WKo won the case of Gott versus Berea College in 1913? （ A） Berea College. （ B） Gott. （ C） It was a win-win case. （ D） The students. 28 The word “diss
37、ent“(Para. 5)probably means “_“. （ A） extreme behaviors （ B） violation of laws （ C） strong disagreement （ D） wrong doings 29 In 1960, the court ruled that Alabama State College_. （ A） had no right to expel the students （ B） was justified to have expelled the students （ C） shouldnt interfere with stu
38、dents daily life （ D） should support civil rights demonstrations 30 According to Gary Dickstein, todays “helicopter parents“ _. （ A） dont set their hearts at rest with college administrators （ B） keep a watchful eye on their childrens life and study （ C） care less about their childrens education tha
39、n before （ D） have different opinions on their childrens education 30 We tend to think of plants as the furniture of the natural world. They dont move, they dont make sounds, they dont seem to respond to nothing at least not very quickly. But as is often the case, our human view of the world misses
40、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 warnings all have the same purpose to spread i
41、nformation 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 explanations. They have identified one chemic
42、al 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 infested and placed upwind and the others were
43、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 studied leaves from exposed and unexposed
44、 plants. They found one compound showed up more often in the exposed plants. The substance is called HexVic. When the scientists fed HexVic to cutworms, it knocked down their survival rate by 17%. The scientists identified the source of Hex Vic, and sprayed it lightly over healthy plants. Those plan
45、ts 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 plant neighbors. It is a complex tale, and
46、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. 31 What does the author try to emphasize in Paragraph 1? （ A） How plants
47、 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. 32 According to Paragraph 2, what remains unknown is_. （ A） how plants receive and handle the signals from their neighb
48、ors （ B） why plants spread chemical information to their neighbors （ C） how many types of plants release compounds into the air （ D） whether plants send chemical warnings to their neighbors 33 The tomato plants in the experiment were_. （ A） placed separately but connected through air （ B） exposed to
49、 different kinds of pests （ C） exposed to the pest at the same time （ D） placed together in a closed compartment 34 The experiment shows that the infested plant helps its neighbors by_. （ A） making more HexVic to attract the pest （ B） releasing HexVic into the air to warn them （ C） letting them know how to produce HexVic （ D） producing enough HexVic to kill the pest 35 What may be the best title for the passage? （ A） Survival of Plants （ B） Plant Wo
