Climber and record breaker Thomas Bubendorfer is used to facing death and this has driven him to think about the meaning of life．
The Austrian, 49, began his climbing career at the age of 12．At 16, he was the youngest solo rock climber to conquer the Alps．At 18, he scaled the 7,000 meter Pamir Plateau, in Central Asia．
Bubendorfer climbed Aconcagua, the highest peak in South America, within 16 hours．He is famed for conquering five mountains in the Dolomites, Italy, in just one day．
Beginning in 2010 and along with Chinese climbers, he has now set his sights on mountains over 6,000 meters in Tibet autonomous region．
The lecturer and writer has published six books, based on his climbing experiences, and Life is Like Climbing was recently published by China Development Press．Bubendorfer wrote it in German, and it was translated by Tang Wenping．In Bubendorfer's opinion, the ultimate goal of mountain climbing is to search for and answer the big questions in life．The peak is not the ultimate aim, but the natural result of climbing, an activity in which he puts his heart and soul, he says．
He describes the feeling of standing on a ridge: "I seemed to get rid of time and the surroundings, and enter a new world．The world exists both internally and externally．"
For the procrastinator, he writes: "No decision, no action．If I don't make a decision, I have to take action sooner or later．"
His analysis of fear is: "（It） is the precondition for courage．Fear is the protection against the hidden dangers that seemed safe．"
Bubendorfer's life is full of wisdom and philosophy．As he says: "（Life is） like a continuous mountain range with peaks and troughs （）．Only when you return to the bottom temporarily, can you start climbing again．"
44．Which of the following is the correct order about Bubendorfer according to the text?
a．conquering five mountains in the Dolomites
b．climbing Pamir Plateau
c．having Life is Like Climbing published
d．conquering the Alps
A．abd

D．dbac
45．Which of the following is TRUE about Bubendorfer?

46．According to Bubendorfer, fear ______________．
A．protects hidden dangers．
B．is necessary for courage．
C．usually leads to a sense of safety．
D．is something you feel when you climb again．
47．Which might be the best title for the text?

D．The goal of mountain climbingFive people are at our table, including myself．I've already lea a great deal about them in the short time we've been at sea, although we rarely meet except at mealtimes．
First of all, there's Dr Stone．He's a man of about sixty - five, with gray hair and a friendly face．He gave up his work a short while ago and is now traveling round the world before he retires to some quiet country village．As a young man, he served for many years as a doctor in the Army and visited many countries．He's told us a great deal about the city to which we are going．
Then there's "Grandmother"．I call her that because her name escapes me．In spite of being a grandmother, she looks remarkably young, not more than fifty．She's on her way to visit a daughter who went to Australia some years ago．Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again, and her three grandchildren, whom she has never seen．
Then there's a man I don't care for very much, an engineer by the name of Barlow． He has been on leave in England and is now returning to his work in Singapore．
The other person who sits at our table is Mrs．Hunt．I've found out hardly anything about her．She．'s extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult the doctor about children's various illnesses．She's on her way to join her husband in India．
48．What can we know about Mr．Stone?

Now it is job hunting season again．The job fairs flood with hundreds and thousands of 2011 graduate students．Owing to the global financial crisis, most of the graduate students admit that job hunting is not that easy any longer．
It is always a painful process for college students to find jobs．__51__However, job positions are quite limited．In order to get a job, the candidates should be more competitive than ever before．
A Chinese expert predicted that the job hunting pressure in China, with a rocketing increase in the active labor force, would reach its climax in 2006．Yet, this situation continues in 2010．In order to transfer the human resources that are more than needed or wanted to the less developed areas in China, the government has tried to launch a series of policies to help release the pressure．__52__．
__53__A higher education may be more helpful to find a good job in the future, while the temptation of an exciting job and the strong will of being a "real" adult urge the youth to step into society early．For example, when an undergraduate mechanical science and technology major at a famous university is preparing for his postgraduate exam, he receives an offer from a big foreign company one day．__54__Anyway, it is really tough to prepare for the postgraduate examination．
__55__This is a tough time and everyone should have some shining points to win the employers' favor．As products of universities, college students are expected to be first-rate talents and should step into the excellent group in the society．However, these students may achieve unexpected success in the fields where their professional knowledge functions to its maximization．
A．Most probably, he is so excited that he decides to quit the exam next year．
B．Almost everyone worries about the result of the postgraduate examination．
C．"Survival of the fittest．" Darwin's evolution theory appears in the personnel market．
D．With many colleges enlarged in recent years, large numbers of graduates need to hunt jobs．
E．What's more, financial support is provided to encourage the graduates to start their own career．
F．To go on with further education or to find a job is one of the hardest decisions for the graduate students to make now
G．Competition for a job would be fierce as graduates this year will have to join the job hunting group from previous years．
