Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot(行李箱). ‎ Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.” ‎ Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape. ‎ Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.” ‎ It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench（扳手）and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.” ‎ ‎ His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch. ‎ ‎24. Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?‎ A. The hammer. B. The coin. C. The screw. D. The horn. ‎ ‎25. Which statement is true according to the passage?‎ A. Mr. Johnson’s car stood on its boot as it fell down. ‎ B. Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam. ‎ C. Mr. Johnson’s car accident was partly due to the slippery road. ‎ D. Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat. ‎ ‎26.The underlined sentence “Finally it gave” (Paragraph 5) means that _______. ‎ A. Luckily the door was torn away in the end B. At last the wrench went broken ‎ C. The lock came open after all his efforts D. The chance was lost at the last minute ‎ ‎27. What is the best title for this newspaper article?‎ A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet Salesman ‎ B. Car Boot Can Serve As The Best Escape Route ‎ C. Driver Escapes Through Car Boot ‎ D. The Driver Survived A Terrible Car Accident ‎ C When thinking about placing a human being in space, one of the most important questions was how to design special clothing needed to protect a person from the dangers of the space environment. The cold of space will freeze skin in a short time. The fierce heat of the sun can cause serious burns. The lack of atmosphere can cause gases in the body to expand and even burst. With no oxygen to breathe, a human being will die in only a few moments. Radiation from the sun is another risk in space. So is damage from small pieces of rock and objects like meteoroids (陨石).‎ ‎ In 1933, an American flyer, Wiley Post, designed one of the first successful devices to protect a pilot at extreme heights. It was a large device that looked like a can surrounded the pilot's head. Astronauts in the American space agency (NASA) flew the first American space flights in the early 1960s. The clothing was similar to that invented by Wiley Post. ‎ ‎ Today, astronauts wear very different protective clothing. It lets them move, do useful tasks, and stay outside their spacecraft in comfort and safety for several hours. The spacesuit is called the shuttle extravehicular mobility unit or EMU. It was designed to last longer and to permit more movement than earlier spacesuits.‎ ‎ The EMU has a number of parts that an astronaut can link together by using only one hand, which makes it possible for each astronaut to select the parts that fit correctly.‎ ‎ Nowadays, NASA scientists are also considering the kind of spacesuits that would be needed for exploration on the planet Mars. Because of the gravity on Mars, spacesuits may have to be designed to be lighter than suits used in orbit or on the moon. The equipment may also have to ‎ protect astronauts from dust carried in the winds on Mars. And, they must be easy to repair and keep clean during a longer flight to and from the red planet.‎ ‎28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the dangers of space environment?‎ ‎ A. Lack of oxygen. B. Fierce heat from the sun. ‎ C. Gases in the body. D. Radiation from the sun.‎ ‎29. Which of the following statements is true, according to this passage?‎ ‎ A. Wiley Post designed the first protective clothing for astronauts.‎ ‎ B. Astronauts in earlier spacesuits had difficulty in moving, doing useful tasks and so on.‎ ‎ C. EMU has many parts that can be linked together by using two hands.‎ ‎ D. Special spacesuits have been used for exploration of the planet Mars.‎ ‎30. The best title of the passage might be ______.‎ ‎ A. Space exploration B. Astronauts’ flights ‎ C. The Advantages of Spacesuits D. The Development of Spacesuits ‎ 第二节(共5小题: 每小题2分，满分10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。‎ If something that you're doing doesn't challenge you, then it doesn't change you. We all need some normal stress（压力） in our lives, after all. 31 So challenge the following limits:‎ Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously.‎ If you're a salesman, and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you'll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. 32 But don't stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “Go on, I'm not scared!”‎ ‎ 33 ‎ Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.‎ Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.‎ ‎ 34 A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise cannot only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.‎ Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.‎ Don't just limit yourself to your fellow travelers ---try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they're going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. 35 ‎ A. You should do it continuously.‎ B. Someone may hang up on you.‎ C. You don't need to go to the gym.‎ D. Running in the gym may be a better choice.‎ E. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.‎ F.

One day, Mrs Nanette O'Neill gave an arithmetic test to our class. When the papers were 36 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 37 mistakes throughout the test. ‎ There is nothing really new about 38 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O'Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 39 after class. I was one of the twelve. ‎ Mrs O'Neill asked 40 questions, and she didn't 41 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the above words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 42 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times. ‎ I don't 43 about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 44 ,I can say: it was the most important single 45 of my life. Thirty years after being 46 to Macaulay's words, they ‎ ‎47 seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a 48 to measure ourselves rather than others. ‎ ‎ 49  of us are asked to make 50 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called on daily to make a great many personal decisions. Should the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket 51 turned over to the policeman? Should the 52 change received at the store be forgotten or 53 ? Nobody will know except 54 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always 55 to live with someone you respect. ‎ ‎36.
