A To Whom It May Concern: On August 27, 2016, I ordered a Skunk Scooter from your website. I was very excited when it arrived because I bought it with money I saved from doing odd jobs over summer. Unfortunately, I have experienced several problems with my Skunk Scooter. First of all, the front wheel shakes from side to side, making the scooter difficult to ride. And also, it makes a horrible sound. The sound is louder and more annoying than a roaring engine. My dad and I had to tighten the screws (螺丝). However, it did not help. The wheel continues to shake. The scooter is faulty and cannot be repaired. In addition, I cannot adjust the handlebars. According to your website, they can be easily raised to a height of thirty-six inches. This does not seem to be true. The handlebars are set at thirty inches, and they cannot be raised or lowered. It appears that the knob that is used to adjust the height is jammed into the handlebars, which makes it impossible to turn in either direction. Although you advertised the Skunk Scooter as ―the quickest, slickest scooter on the planet,‖ my purchase was an exception. Since your website promises to accept returns, I want my money back. I have sent you a copy of my receipt. Please let me know how I should ship the scooter back to your company. I know that you would not want customers to keep broken products. Therefore, I would like to thank you in 高三英语第5页（共16页） 高三英语第6页（共

Climbing in the Clouds

Edmund Percival Hillary was one of the greatest explorers of the twentieth century. He was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1919. He discovered an interest in mountain climbing while he was still in high school and began climbing New Zealand’s Southern Alps.

Like his father, Hillary earned his living as a beekeeper. However, he continued to climb mountains. His goal was to climb Mt. Everest, which is the highest mountain in the world. By the early 1950s, several expeditions (探险队) had attempted to reach the summit of Everest, but all had failed. Then, in 1953, Hillary and a Nepalese climber named Tenzing Norgay became the first two people to reach the top of the world.

Hillary’s spirit of exploration was not satisfied. He joined an expedition to Antarctica and reached the South Pole in 1958. He also made an expedition up the Ganges River to its source in the Himalayas. Sir Edmund Hillary was a brave adventurer. He went where no man or woman had gone before.

Although Hillary was best known as the young man who climbed to the summit of Mt. Everest in the 1950s, he continued his journeys to far-off places into his senior years. For instance, in his mid-sixites Hillary flew to the North Pole with Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Moreover, Hillary authored many books. However, his most lasting gift, perhaps, was the Sir Edmund Hillary Himalayan Trust (信托基金). It raised millions of dollars and contributed to schools, hospitals and many other public improvements in the Sherpa villages of Nepal. In January 2008, Sir Edmund Hillary died at the age of 88.

Despite being a great adventurer and known for the treasure he left, Sir Edmund Hillary always modestly referred to himself as a simple beekeeper from New Zealand.

60. Hillary was interested in _________ when he was in high school.

A. mountain-climbing B. bee-keeping C. money-raising D. story-writing 61. Hillary became well-known because _________.

Throughout childhood, kids are encouraged to take good care of their bodies by getting enough rest, exercising regularly, eating healthful foods, and drinking plenty of water. But recently children and teenagers have been warned to protect their skin. Skin cancer is on the rise among young people. Teens should make some basic lifestyle changes to help slow this trend.

Melanoma, a skin cancer, is the second most common form of cancer for people aged 15 to 29. Unfortunately, the risk of developing it has increased in recent years. One of the most important causes of melanoma is UV radiation (辐射) damage. Scientists think that some of this damage is directly linked to the use of tanning beds (皮肤美黑床). Now they have found that these beds produce UVA radiation and UVB radiation, both of which are dangerous.

Clearly, avoiding tanning beds is one way teens can protect their skin, but they must do more. They need to protect themselves from too much sun exposure as well. They must learn to stay out of the sun in summer. Doctors say that to avoid the harmful rays of the sun, young people should stay indoors between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the rays are the strongest. When teens have to be outdoors during these hours, they should use sunscreen that provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays.

Protection is the most effective weapon in the battle against melanoma, but paying close attention to the skin is also vital. Melanoma often begins as a mole (痣) on the skin. If it’s caught before it spreads below the skin’s surface, it’s highly curable. Therefore, teens should watch for both new moles and existing moles. If they see anything that looks unusual, they should visit a skin doctor right away.

Teens who continue to bake in the sun to achieve that perfect tan should realize the potential consequences of their behavior. Is a sun-kissed look really worth the risk of melanoma? It’s not too late to change your habits and reduce your exposure to harmful UV rays. Take action now to protect your skin and avoid this deadly disease later. 64. Teens are warned to protect their skin because _________.

A. their lifestyles are not healthy B. skin helps slow the radiation damage C. skin cancer is growing among teenagers D. they spend longer time staying outdoors 65. In Paragraph 2, the author mainly talks about _________ of melanoma.
