24、s of Colorado.Wanting to enjoy the beauty of the mountains, my wife and I planned a day hike to the Browns Creek waterfall. The kids were exciteda day hike, a chance to experience a waterfall, and a day spent with Dad and Mom.Our hike would take us up the Browns Creek trail (小路) and after about 3 mi
25、les the waterfall would be on our left. After slowly climbing the first mile, the trail took us through a beautiful grassland and across the creek (小溪) a couple of times. We decided to turn back before reaching the waterfall, mostly because we were tired and still didnt know how much farther it was.
26、 While crossing the creek by walking on a downed tree trunk, our little Izzie fell into the creek and immediately started moving up and down in the current (水流).Immediately, I jumped into the creek after her. I managed to grab her and push her to the bank. But now, I was the one in need of being res
27、cued. I thought this might be the end and I wasnt sure if I could hold on. Then, I heard the voice of the love of my life, my wifes voice. She shouted loudlyStand up! Stand up!

28、ey were looking after Izzie, now safe in their arms. But I did hear one of the kids say: Thanks Dad, for saving Izzie. Youre our HERO！As we walked back down the trail, I enjoyed a rare, but one of those sweet moments in life, that I wouldnt trade for anything on earth. I didnt care about my wet clot
29、hes, the squish (咯吱声) of water in my boots, or the embarrassment of nearly drowning in water; none of that mattered. I just walked along following my family, with my head held up, my shoulders back and my chest pushed out proudly enjoying the fact that, at that moment in time, on that particular day

33、ate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold
34、 and heat. Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock. During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals ca
35、n be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat. People who live in or near cities do not usua
36、lly keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the suns rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat
37、. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving. House-building becomes a great challenge（挑战）to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by usi
38、ng modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses. 56. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap? A. The climate of their areas. B. The energy for their houses. C. The fashions for their houses. D. The building materi

40、hird paragraph refer to the fact that _. A. heat raises the temperature in the houses B. heat goes in the upward direction C. heat goes up if temperature is raised D. heat increases the temperature of rocks 59.

41、rials in the future B. energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the future C. almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocks D. energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology60. What is the meaning of the underlined word “livestock”? A. animals raised
42、 especially for economical benefitsB. furniture for decoration purpose C. plants kept in the houseD. general appearance of the whole family C Polar bears are born in dens（洞穴）on land and their mother stays with them for the whole winter without eating anything. The mother and the babies come out from
43、 the dens around March, famished from a long winter and must immediately go hunting to find food to stay alive. Now, the only hunting they know is to catch seals from floating ice in the open ocean. In March, polar bear mothers and babies have to swim from the land in Spitsbergen to the edge of the
44、polar ice cap.Normally this is a short swim, since in March the polar ice cap is very close to the land, and the polar bears, and even the babies, are good swimmers. However, last year we saw that the polar ice cap had become smaller in size due to global warming. Swimming hundreds of miles, especia
45、lly when they are hungry and have babies following them, is really hard, and many bears are dying because of starvation.The polar bear population in the Spitsbergen area was once threatened by hunters. In the 1970s, a ban on hunting was imposed (制定）and the polar bear population has been steadily inc
46、reasing from just a few hundred to about 2,000 to 3,000. This was a great success story. However, now, because of global warming, the population is again in danger.
