transported to the United Kingdom. There they were either placed with other families or in hostels. Later, it was found that many of these children were the only survivors of their families. Nicholas Winton was among those people who helped to save Jewish children. He managed to rescue 669 children from Czechoslovakia and bring them safely to England. In 1938 around Christmas, 29-year-old Nicky was about to leave for a skiing holiday. Suddenly, Martin Blake, one of his good friends, contacted him from Czechoslovakia, asking him to travel there to help political refugees on the run from the Nazis. And Nicholas agreed.
Nicky spent his entire holiday of 3 weeks in the capital city of Prague where he saw the situation first-hand. Once back in England, he immediately started organizing the evacuation(撤离) of children from the Czech region. From advertising for the necessary permits, Nicky worked tirelessly. By August 1939, 669 children had been helped by Nicky and his friends. Haplessly, the last group of children due to leave Prague in the beginning of September could not do so— World War Ⅱ broke out, and swallowed them up.
Nicky did not discuss his particular task with his wife, Grete. It was only when she found a scrapbook in 1988, with names of the rescued children, their (lost) parents and the foster families that had taken them in, that his heroism came to light. Nicky has received several awards in Britain and the Czech Republic. 29.Kindertransport aimed to_____. A. help the homeless B. transfer the affected C. stop German attacks D. save Jewish children

Free soloing is rock climbing without a rope safety equipment. It is so dangerous that less than 1 percent of climbers ever attempt it.
Alex Honnold grew up in California around a climbing culture and started climbing at

10. He would go to a climbing gym six days a week for three hours a day. Honnold was a straight-A student in school. But climbing was his main interest, and free soloing quickly became his favorite style. Since those early days, the 27-year-old has made over a thousand climbs. He is considered by many to be the best climber in the world. Experienced climber, John Long says over half of the well-known free solo climbers are dead. According to him, Honnold’s greatest achievement is that he’s still alive!
Honnold climbs by fitting his fingers into the cracks of the rock face. With most of his weight supported by his fingers alone, he pulls himself up. However, his ability to stay focused is as important as his strength. Other climbers agree that the fear of climbing without a rope is a huge challenge to overcome. Everyone knows that a single mistake would probably be a deadly one.
Honnald’s great achievements have made him famous, but along with praise comes lots of criticism. Many blame him for taking too many risks. Honnold responds by saying, “I don’t think I’ll do this forever. But I don’t think I’ll stop because of the risk. I’ll stop because I lose the love for it.” For now he’s continuing to follow his passion and climbing to new heights.

A. The weight of the climber. B. Strength and great concentration. C. The fear of climbing with a rope. D. The conditions of the rock face. 35. How do people feel about Honnaold’s climbs? A. They all like him and feel proud of him. B. They want to be as famous as him in free soloing. C. They like to follow him into free soloing. D. Many of them criticize him for risking his life. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Last week my parents and I took a two-days trip to Emei Mountain in Sichuan. As everyone knows, it’s famous mountain with all kinds of plants and animals. The weather was fine. It was about noon we arrived at the foot of the mountain. The three of them were very excited. As we climbed the mountain, we fed monkeys, visiting temples and told stories. On the way up I was busy taking picture since the scenery was so beautiful. The time passes quickly. Evening came down. We spent the night in a hotel at the top of the mountain. The food was expensive and the service was good. I was so tired that I fell asleep at the moment my head touched the pillow.
