6．Around the Word by Wheelchair
 
Rick Hansen was always an active kid and loved to fish．When returning in a pickup truck one day from a fishing trip，the truck hit a tree and he was thrown from the back of it．Hansen received a spinal（脊柱的） injury and lost the use of his legs．However，he didn't give up．Many months later he began to compete in wheelchair sports．Hansen won national championships on wheelchair volleyball and wheelchair basketball teams．
At the age of 27，Hansen started his Man in Motion World Tur to raise awareness and money for spinal research．Though public attention was low at the beginning of the tour，he soon attracted international media attention．His tour took him through 34 countries between1985 and 1987．He wheeled 24，900．miles，which is equal to the distance around the earth．Bad weather and difficult rocky roads often provided Challenges，but he continued to push himself to complete the trip．Even mountains did not stop Hansen．He wheeled himself up the Rocky Mountains and several other major mountains in the world．He even wheeled himself along the Great wall of China！Hansen completed his world tour raising 26 million dollars．
"Never give up on your dreams"is his motto and he hasn't given up yet．Hansen is most famous for his Man in Motion World Tour and was officially introduced into the Canada's Sports Hall of fame in 2006．He was one of the final torchbearers（火炬手） in the 2010 Winter Olympics．In addition，with Hansen as CEO，the Ricky Hansen Foundation has run programs supporting treatment and quality of life programs for people with spinal injuries as well as related disabilities．During 2011 and 2012，the Foundation was also part of a cross-Canada tour called the Rick Hansen 25th  Anniversary Relay that followed the same way as Hansen's original Man in Motion Tour about 25 years after it began．

1．All plants need water to grow．Watering plants seems like a simple task but it actually requires many considerations．For example，plants growing in areas with low rainfall or areas （33）exposed（expose） to dry wind require more water．On the other hand，plants which have a good adaptation to dry conditions or have the ability to store water in their cells require（34）less frequent（frequent） watering．The watering of plants should not be viewed as a minor process in gardening （35）as/for/because/since this task plays an extremely important role in ensuring healthy plant growth．
Let's first take a closer look at plants growing in gardens．Since watering is a critical gardening task，（36）an accessible water supply is vital．A garden tap with a hose of sufficient length to reach the furthest part of the garden （37）is preferred（prefer）．This tends to make watering much easier and ensures adequate water is provided for the plants．Most inexperienced gardeners water little （38）butvery frequently．This is undesirable as it encourages shallow root growth．In addition，watering in full sun causes leaves to lose water quickly from the surface of the soil．Therefore，some experts recommend（39）installing（install） an automatic watering system．
As for plants growing in pots or containers，they tend to lose water rapidly．One way to reduce such a risk is （40）to grow（group） the plants close together to keep moisture．Try to move them to a shady place if you are away from home for a few days．Otherwise，you will return home to see your plants dead．

18．Before the print was brought to England in 1476，everything was written by hand．The few people who knew how to write were trained in schools set up by the church．Those who made a living by writing for other people were called scribes（抄写员）．
The work of scribes was not easy．Much of it had to be done fast in order to meet the needs of the King．the church and traders．Most of the writing was in Latin（拉丁），but some of it was in the English of the day．And no one was quite sure how some English words should be spelled．
One problem was that several letters were written with short vertical strok（竖笔）that all looked like each other．Among them were the letters，i，u，v，m and n，Thus．five straight lines in a row might stand for uni nui uvi or mii．
As a result．reading was sometimes difficult，especially when the writing was done in a hurry．
The scribes solved（解决）the problem in part，by changing the letter u to o when it came before m．n or v．This is how sum and cum came to be written as some and come．
At some point，too，the scribes seemed to have decided that no English word should be ended by u or v．Thus，in time an e was added to such words as live，have，due and true．It was added，but not pronounced．

25．Which of the following is true according to the passage？B
A．Everything has been written by hand in English since 1476．
B．The church set up schools to train scribes before 1476．
C．More than 500years ago no people made a living by writing for other people．
D．Scribes in England worked only for kings and traders．
26．Sometimes people couldn't read easilyC
A．because there were too many u's and v's in sonic English words．
B．because most of the writing was in Latin．
C．When tile writing was done hurriedly．
D．when the writing was in English．
27．The scribes changed u before m to o becauseD
A．the change helped them write faster         
B．om was the right order
C．um and om had the same pronunciation      
D．the change made reading easier
28．It is believed that some scribes thoughtB
A．it important to add an e to every English word
B．an English word should be ended neither by n nor by v
C．it natural to change the spelling of sonic Latin words
D．the letter e at the end of any word shouldn't be pronounced．
