Section A
Directions:In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements ,each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Sometimes a race is not enough. Sometimes a runner just wants to go further. That’s what happened to Dennis Martin and Brooke Curran.
Martin, 68, a retired detective form New York City,took up running after his first wife died. Curran, 46, a philanthropist(慈善家)from Alexandria, started running to get out of the house and collect her thoughts. Both she and Martin got good at running but felt the desire to do more. “The more I trained,the better I got,”Curran said,”but I would cross the finish line with no sense of accomplishment.”
Eventually , they worked up to running marathons(马拉松)(and longer races) in other countries, on other countries. Now both have achieved a notable -and increasingly less rate - milestone;running the 26.2-mile race on all seven continents.
They are part of a phenomenon that has grown out of the running culture in the past two decades, at the intersection of athleticism and leisure: “runcations,”which combine distance running with travel to exotic places . There trips ,as expensive as they are physically challenging ,are a growing and competitive market in the travel industry.
“In the beginning,running was enough ,”said Steen Albrechtsen ,a press manager. The classic marathon was the ultimate goal, then came the super marathons ,like London and New York. But when 90,000 people a year can take that challenge,it is no longer exciting and adventurous .Hence, the search for new adventures began.”
“No one could ever have imagined that running would become the lifestyle activity that it is today,”said Thom Gilligan, founder and president of Boston-based Marathon Tours and Travel. Gilligan,who has been in business since 1979, is partly responsible for the seven-continent phenomenon.
It started with a casual talk to an interviewer about his company offering trips to every continent except Antarctica. And then in 1995,Marathon fours hosted its first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island. Off the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula;160 runners got to the starting line of a dirt-and ice-trail route via a Russian icebreaker through the Drake Passage.

Passage Two
Before the 1970s, college students were treated as children. So many colleges ran in loco parentissystem. “In loco parentis”is a Latin term meaning “in the place of a parent.”It describes when someone else accepts responsibility to act in the interests of a child.
This idea developed long ago in British common law to define the responsibility of teachers toward their students. For years, American courts upheld in loco parentisin cases such as Gott versus Berea College in 1913.
Gott owned a restaurant off campus. Berea threatened to expel students who ate at places not owned by the school. The Kentucky high court decided that in loco parentisjustified that rule.
In loco parentis meant that male and female college students usually had to live in separate buildings. Women had to be back at their dorms by ten or eleven on school nights.
But in the 1960s, students began to protest rules and restrictions like these. At the same time, courts began to support students who were being punished for political and social dissent.
In 1960, Alabama State College expelled six students who took part in a civil rights demonstration. They sued the school and won. After that it became harder and harder to defend in loco parentis.
At that time, students were not considered adults until 21. Then, in 1971, the 24th amendment to the Constitution set the voting age at eighteen. So in loco parentisno longer really applied.
Slowly, colleges began to treat students not as children, but as adults. Students came to be seen as consumers of educational services.
Gary Dickstein, an assistant vice president at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, says in loco parentisis not really gone. It just looks different. Today’s parents, he says, are often heavily involved in students’lives. They are known as “helicopter parents.”They always seem to hover over their children. Gary Dickstein says these parents are likely to question decisions, especially about safety issues and grades. They want to make sure their financial investment is not being wasted.
26. Before the 1970s, many colleges ran in loco parentissystem because .
A. they could take the place of the students’parents
B. parents asked them to do it for the interests of their children
C. this was a tradition established by British colleges
D. college students were regarded as too young to be treated as adults
27. Who won the case of Gott versus Berea College in 1913?
A. Berea College.B. Gott.
C. It was a win-win case.D. The students.
28. The word “dissent”(Para.5) probably means “”.
A. extreme behaviorsB. violation of laws
C. strong disagreementD. Wrong doings
29. In 1960，the court ruled that Alabama State College_____
A. had no right to expel the students
B. was justified to have expelled the students
C. shouldn’t interfere with students’daily life
D. should support civil rights demonstrations
30. According to Gary Dickstein, today’s “helicopter parents_____
A. don’t set their hearts at rest with college administrators
B. keep a watchful eye on their children’s life and study
C. care less about their children’s education than before
D. have different opinions on their children’s education
