Guirec Soudee, a 24-year-old man from France, chose his pet chicken.Soudee has been sailing around the world for two years. No matter which country he sails to, Monique, the hen, is by his side. He found her in the Canary Islands and knew right away they were meant to be best companions. “I didnt speak any Spanish and she didnt speak any French, however, we could always have a small talk, even though she didnt understand me.” Soudee joked.He had always wanted a companion for his journey and originally thought about bringing a cat, before deciding it would be too much work to look after on a boat. Upon meeting Monique, Soudee realized a hen was the perfect choice. He believed they could communicate with each other well.Not only does it cost little to raise Monique, but she lays eggs as well some things that are always a plus in a situation where storing a lot of food can be a challenge. She lays about six eggs a week on average, even in cold climates like Greenland, where Soudee and Monique are docked(进港) now.And what happens when the weather at sea gets bad? Usually Soudee lets Monique stay freely on the boat, but when the winds get terrible he ensures she is safe in her hutch so that she doesnt fall out of his boat and into the sea. Another thing Soudee must care for is the rule in every country he visits. They had met with customs officials in Canada. He was permitted to keep her, but he knows they might not always be so lucky.Although Monique can sometimes get on his nerves, Soudee says shes much better than a human companion aboard. “She follows me everywhere. All I need to do is shout Monique! and she will come to me, sit on me, listen to my small talk and give me company,” he said.After visiting Greenland, theyll head down the Bering Strait to Nome, Alaska. From there the destination is undecided, but Soudee will certainly discuss where they should travel to next with Monique.25. What is so special about Soudees sailing around the world? A. He sails with a pet friend for company. B. He sails around the world for just two years. C. He had no difficulty communicating with anyone. D. He travelled around the world with only one companion.26. Why does Soudee choose Monique as his companion? A. She can understand him best. B. She adds more pleasure to his trip. C. She helps him store a great deal of food. D. She lays eggs and listens to his small talks.27. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Monique does a better job than humans. B. Soudee enjoys Moniques company a lot. C. Monique is perfect but sometimes annoys Soudee. D. Soudee feels grateful for what Monique has done.28. Where are Soudee and Monique now? A. In Canada.B. In Greenland.C. In France.D. In Alaska. CMisael is three times the size of other children at his age due to a symdrome(综合症状) which means he is unable to stop eating.He is so heavy that he often stops breathing while sleeping leaving his parents fearing that one day he may not wake up. His dad Manoel Abreu, 38, said, “Everything is hard for him he is a baby carrying an adults weight. His heart must be working under a lot of pressure. If he doesnt get the treatment he requires, there is a very good chance that he will pass away.”Miseal, from Sanot, Brazil, was born a healthy 6lb 6oz, but immediately he started piling on the pounds. Doctors believe he may be suffering from Prader-Willi symdrome, a rare genetic condition that leaves him with greed. He now weighs a heavy 178lb and is still gaining despite following a low-fat diet and walking for 40 minutes each day.Mum Josiane, 37, said, “He has been putting on a lot of weight since he was a babyeven when I was breastfeeding him. But it was only when he was one and a half years old that we began to worry. He was gaining 3kg a month and was starting to get very heavy. We know we could lose him at any time. Sometimes when he is sleeping, I watch him to see if he is breathing. I cry a lot because we want to help him. But I am also very proud of him because he doesnt surrender(投降).”Misael visits a doctor every three months to try to control his condition, but currently there is no cure for Prader-Willi symdrome. Paediatric neurologist(儿科神经科专家) Lucio said, “Every time we meet, he has put on a lot of weight sometimes up to 5 kg. I think Misael could get help from someone outside Brazil both medically and financially so that he can get the laboratory and genetic testing he needs.”29. What do Misaels parents most worry about? A. He may die of too much weight. B. He doesnt do exercise to lose weight. C. They dont have any financial support. D. They have to seek medical help abroad.30. Suppose Misael is 20kg when he is 18 months old, how heavy will he be when he is two years old? A. 26kg.B. 30kg.C. 38kg.D. 42kg.31. What can we learn about Misaels disease from the last paragraph? A. Genetic testing may help him find solutions to his disease. B. Misael should have gone abroad to have his disease cured. C. Misael stopped gaining weight as he visited doctors regularly. D. Misael needs more medical help than financial help to cure his disease.DRock climbing is not just for grown-ups. Your children can also enjoy this fun-filled activity as well as getting its advantages. Aside from its heart-health benefit, it is also known to increase their self-confidence and esteem(尊重). While it may not be an impromptu(即兴的) activity like running or biking, there are many climbing walls that are now available, especially with the development of fitness centers and camps.The great thing about having your kids join these activities is that it follows up on their natural quality. As you know, children are natural climbers. You can see them going up on trees or climbing tall ladders. With rock climbing, you can satisfy their urges to be a climber.Whats more, it is fairly easy for the kids compared with adults. With a high strength-to-weight rate, they have less body weight to pull up, and they are more flexible(灵活的).It is also a low-impact workout that tests your childrens endurance(耐性). Its easy on their joints(关节) as they burn energy during their ascent. In addition, climbing walls are like giant puzzles begging to be solved. Not only does it test the physical aspects of your childrens development, but it also wakes their mental abilities.This exercise also helps develop your childrens essential strength and flexibility. Kids are challenged physically as they pull, lift, stretch, and twist their way up. This activity also develops their eye-hand coordination(协调) as they perform their climb.Almost anyone can do it although it may vary in skill level, namely beginner, intermediate, or advanced. But despite its reputation as an extreme sport, children can do this. One does not need to be super-fit to join a rock climbing class. However, good technique is more necessary than strength when doing this sport.32. When it comes to climbing, compared with children, adults _. A. find it much easier B. must bear more body weight C. have a higher weight-to-strength rate D. follow up more on their natural quality33. The underlined word “ascent” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “_”. A. testB. climbC. challengeD. improvement34. What do we know about climbing according to the passage? A. It encourages children to be good climbers. B. Its an extreme sport which only super-fit people can join in. C. It requires your eyes and hands to cooperate with each other. D. It tests more about physical condition than mental abilities.35. What may the next paragraph talk about after this passage? A. What technique children need to climb rocks. B. What more advantages climbing has for children. C. How much strength people need to climb rocks. D. What training classes there are to teach children.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Every student has his/her own style of studying and its up to you to use the available resources to be as effective and productive as possible.
