36、t Saturday in March, a group of middle-aged men and a few women gather at sunrise on a beach near St. Petersburg, Fla. Above the high-water line are more than 50 small boats. At exactly 7 a.m., Steve Isaac stands at the waters edge with his arm raised and yells: “Go!”Most of the boats are part of th

37、e Everglades Challenge. They head for a finish line many days and 300 miles to the south, at Key Largo. But this Saturday, for the first time, 10 of the brave marinersincluding a journalist, whose progress will be available onlinewill compete in the worlds toughest small boat race, called the Ultima

38、te Florida Challenge. Instead of finishing at Key Largo, the 10 boaters will continue around the state, heading north past Miami, the Kennedy Space Center, and Jacksonville, then down the Suwannee River, eventually passing most of Florida before arriving back at the beach near St. Petersburg.It will

39、 be 1,200 miles of head winds and burning sun. But it will also take the challengers through some of the most impressive scenery in North America.The rules are no-nonsense: First one back to the beach wins. The voyage must be completed within a month. Human power or sails, only. No motors. No rides

40、in cars or tows from power boats. No help from family or friends. And at least once a day, participants are required to acknowledge by cell phone or radio that they are still alive. The race will be a replay of the tale of the tortoise (龜) and the rabbit. The trick, if there is one, is to be a torto

41、ise and just keep moving forward. But the one-month deadline means that being too much of a tortoise may result in failure. So challengers have to be a little bit of a rabbit, as well. 54.

42、ts will take part in the 300-mile race this year.C. The racers cannot take a rest during the race. D. The winner will act as a tortoise in the play. 55. This 1,200-mile race is unusual because _.

44、Challenge on lineDTurning on the TV, a wonderful scene comes to your eyes a group of men, tall, strong and handsome. and women , young, beautiful and attractive, too. Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure-ships. They are m

45、odels.Do you envy them? What sort of life are model leading? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man?A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a big money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like

46、. Theyd like to be modes just because they are attracted by what they imagine Models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expense

47、s are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be none.Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-mar

48、kets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose her work, demand and receive high fees and have her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. An agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intellige

49、nce, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and the tight figure. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell herself or himself in the face of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly

50、moral standards on the part of some employers.Immigration officials at airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “

51、Businessman” as their jobs in their passports.Modeling is a changeable world with great rewards for a tiny minority but not for the majority.58. For models, their looks and figures are_ , compared with their good qualifications and intelligence.A. more importantB. less neededC. less essentialD. more

52、 looked down upon59. Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage?A.A models travelling expenses are usually paid by his employer.B.lo be a model, good looks are the most important qualification.C.Most models have a fairly easy way of life with high pay.D. A model can hard

53、ly be successful without a good agent.60. Models often put “Secretary” or” Businessmen” instead of” Model” in their passports becauseA. they want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fansB. a person with the occupation of a model is easily attacked by black societies.C. models are sometimes

54、 looked down uponD. secretaries and businessmen are free of Customs duty61 .The underlined word “suspiciously” can most probably be replaced by _A. doubtfullyB. excitedlyC .proudlyD. sadlyEUnited States President George W. Bush is expected to issue a directive in the next few weeks. It will give the

55、 US Air force a green light for the development of space weapons, US media reported last week.This would potentially trigger a new global arms race, some experts have warned.To keep that from happening, last Wednesday the White House explained that it was not considering putting weapons in space. It

56、 said it was making a shift in US space policy to allow for protection of satellites.But some defense analysts and arms control advocates argue that the policy will pave the way for the US to put both defensive and offensive weapons in space.“No one should be fooled,” said Theresa Hitches, an Americ

57、an weapons expert.The US is now restricted by a 1996 directive signed by President Bill Clinton. Plans for space weapons were vetoed by the Clinton cabinet. The directive emphasized the peaceful use of space, in agreement with almost unanimous(一致的)global opinion.The US military has placed importance

58、 on space and has sent up numerous satellites for troop communications and to provide intelligence and data to guide bombs to their targets.The US Air force wants to develop space-based weapons that could strike targets anywhere in the world within 90 minutes of receiving the order to open fire.Thes

59、e new weapons under development cover a wide range. They include hunter killer satellites(殺手衛(wèi)星)and orbiting weapons（沿軌道運(yùn)行的武器系統(tǒng)）. And they use lasers, radio waves, or even dense metal tubes, known as “Rods from God”, dropped from space to do the damage.There are many barriers to the setting up of thi

60、s kind of program, experts say. First is cost. It is estimated that the budget may be US $ 220 billion to US $ 1 trillion. The technical difficulties of developing reliable space weapons are also a problem. And, the move will draw strong criticism from around the world. Experts worry about triggerin
