He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.‎ ‎“I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”‎ Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier (码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.‎ When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.‎ Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his ‎ camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.‎ The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.‎ ‎“I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”‎ ‎24.

Brave Frenchman Found C. Warm-hearted Onlookers D. A Poor Girl C The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem (生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and- savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat (栖息地).‎ It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep ‎ tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.‎ Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.‎ What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.‎ ‎28. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.‎ B.The effect of African elephants’ search for food.‎ ‎ C. Disappearance of African elephants. ‎ D. The eating habit of African elephants.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?‎ A. Fixing the time. B. Worsening the state.‎ C. Deciding the conditions. D. Improving the quality. ‎ ‎30. What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?‎ A. They result from the destruction of rain forests.‎ B. They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.‎ C. They provide food mainly for African elephants.‎ D. They are home to many endangered animals ‎31. The passage is developed mainly by .‎ A. showing the effect and then explaining the causes B. pointing out similarities and differences C. describing the changes in space order D. giving examples D ‎ The summer is so hot and sticky, why would we want to sweat even more by ‎ exercising? Or is it just I who think like that? Sweat and clothes sticking to our bodies as we move make exercise seem rather uncomfortable. What can be done to fix it?‎ Researchers at MIT have come up with a solution. They’ve developed a workout suit with flaps that open as the wearer begins sweating. As the person cools off, the flaps shrink until they assume their original position.‎ Sounds cool, sounds practical. These flaps are lined with live, microbial ( 微生物的)cells. These cells can detect when the body is heating up too much, and in response, expand. It’s just as if they were working within any other organism, recognizing patterns of heating and cooling, then responding appropriately to maintain body temperature. It seems kind of strange to have living cells (that aren’t your own) on you, right? Not to fear, these cells have been believed safe. Plus, there’s a material in the suit that helps the flaps/cells hover（盘旋，徘徊） ever so slightly above the exerciser's skin. The flaps start opening as soon as people start feeling warm and sweaty, and the bit of space between the suit and the skin helps develop that feeling of cool and refreshing air as they move. For more information about flaps, click here.‎ According to Gadgetify.com, researchers have also been working to apply this technology to running shoes as well. Moisture-responsive workout clothing has the potential to revolutionize sport fashion industry. People can stay drier, cooler and fresher the moment they finish the workout, which sounds better than leaving the gym with a trail of sweat and a red face. It’s possible that the comfort of these suits can make people enjoy exercising more and exercise with more intensity.‎ ‎32．What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?‎ A．To introduce the topic. B．To show his dislike of summer.‎ C．To give an example. D．To tell of his dream.‎ ‎33．What can’t be learned from the passage?‎ A．When a person doesn’t sweat, the flaps will come to its original position.‎ B．When a person sweats, the flaps will expand.‎ C. The flaps themselves can float slightly around the exerciser’s skin.‎ D．The flaps are essential to cooling exercisers down.‎ ‎34．What’s mainly talked about in the last paragraph?‎ A．The efficiency of the technology B．The influence of the technology. ‎ C．Different reviews on the technology. D．Author’s attitude to the technology.‎ ‎35．Where does the essay come from?‎ A．Magazine B．Newspaper C．Brochure D. Website ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Every day, in hundreds of ordinary situations, actions speak far louder than words.

She had been expecting to receive a yo-yo (悠悠球) from her parents as her birthday gift for several months. However, she received a purple dress instead, which made her really disappointed.‎ ‎“I only want a yo-yo as my birthday present. I don’t want the dress and I hate purple.” Susan shouted at her mother when she saw the dress. “Even a five-year-old child has a yo-yo. Do you know why others don’t want to be my friends? It is all because I don’t have a yo-yo. It is so boring to live in this house,” Susan said angrily.‎ Her mother ignored her complaints and changed the topic, saying, “Uncle Brown, Uncle Smith, Aunt Aniston and their children are coming for dinner tonight. So, you can play with your cousins.” “But, I don’t think there is anything interesting to play in the house.” Susan complained again.‎ The guests arrived at 6:00 pm. Susan guided the four children who came with the adults to her room. “Do you have any interesting toys? Susan...” asked Jim, one of the children. Susan felt that Jim was asking for a yo-yo. She felt embarrassed and brought out her Snakes and Ladders (蛇梯棋). All the children played the game together. Everyone enjoyed playing the game except Susan. After a little while, her cousin Sara asked, “Susan, can we go downstairs to the basement?” Susan said, “No, there is nothing interesting to play in it. Ignoring Susan’s words, the children raced to the basement excitedly. They found there were some empty cartons, ropes, old broken toys…” Upon seeing this, Sara came up with an idea- the memory game. She arranged a few things on the floor and closed her eyes. Then Jim took away an object randomly and Sara should guess what the missing object was.‎ Paragraph 1:‎ When Susan arrived there later, she was surprised to see the children playing joyfully.‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2:‎ That night after the guests left, Susan sat alone in her room, seeing her purple ‎ dress.‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 英语试题(答案) ‎ 阅读理解：21—23 DBC 24---27 ACDB 28---31 BCBA 32---35 ACBD 七选五： 36---40 DAFGE 完形填空：41---45 ACABC 46---50 AACBD 51---55 BADBC 语法填空：‎ 56. struggling 57.at 58.truth 59.families 60.where ‎ 61. ‎ a 62.physically 63.to act 64. their 65.has received 应用文：‎ ‎ Dear Mr. Henry,‎ Good news for you!

They were playing with what Susan considered boring happily. Seeing this, Susan understood that although there was no yo-yo, they could also enjoy themselves. Jim asked her to join them playing together instantly he saw Susan. It was at that moment that Susan realized she had focused too much on what she didn’t have but ignored what she had.‎ Paragraph 2:‎ That night after the guests left, Susan sat alone in her room,seeing her purple dress.She thought to herself, “It seems that the dress doesn’t look that bad. Actually, I like all the clothes Mom bought for me.” She was sorry for having shouted at her mother. So she ran to Mom’s room and said, “Sorry, Mom. I should be satisfied with what I own.” Hearing the words, her mother hugged her in arms tightly, happy and touched about Susan’s change.‎
