II. 阅读理解 Passage One
Man has always wanted to fly．Some of the greatest men in history have thought about the problem．One of these，for example，was the great Italian artist，Leonardo da Vinci（达·芬奇）．In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that would fly．But they were never built．
Throughout history，other less famous men have wanted to fly．An example was a man in England 800years ago．He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers．Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into the air from a tall building．He did not fly very far．Instead，he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body．
The first real steps took place in France，in 1783．Two brothers，the Montgolfiers，made a very large“hot air balloon”．They knew that hot air rises．Why not fill a balloon with it？The balloon was made of cloth and paper．In September of that year，the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon．They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky．The passengers were a sheep and a chicken．We do not know how they felt about the trip．But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely．Two months later，two men did the same thing．They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind．Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they travelled about eight kilometres．
6．Leonardo da Vinci ______ ．
A．said that man would fly in the sky one day B．built a kind of machine which never flew C．drew many beautiful pictures of birds． D．made designs for flying machine
7．Eight hundred years ago an Englishman ______ ． A．made a kind of flying machine

Passage Two
When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊)? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These \day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.
Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.
The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages)of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统)because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.
The main benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. \I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away.\
