Before I could find my roll book〔点名册〕my desk was covered with 38 and gifts followed by a 39 of “Merry Christmas〞wishes.“Oh, thank you,〞 I must have 40 a million times. Each gift was truly special to me, except my 41__ mood. It was kind of them to 42 me. After a while, I heard a small nervous 43 say my name. I looked up to see Brandon standing 44 by my desk, holding a small, round gift. “This is for you.〞“Thank you, Sweetheart.〞 I laid it on my desk with the others.“Um, could you 45 it now?〞I gently tore at the paper and tape. “ 46 ,〞he said, “it’s breakable.〞Slowly I opened a small, green Christmas tree ornament〔装饰物〕, complete with a hook already 47 .

At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW〞 sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped.A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at that crossing.〞“But the sign there doesn't say ‘STOP’.〞answered Mr. Williams, “It just says ‘SLOW’, and I did go slow.〞The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched his head and said, “Well, I’m in the wrong street!〞51. When he was stopped by a policeman, he ____.A. was driving at a high speedB. was driving onto the main roadC. was going to stop his carD. was pulled into the crossroad52.

But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation 〔撤离〕of an island nation—the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.During the 20th century, sea level rose 8—12 inches. As a result. Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country's drinking water. Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official ,reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms. Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions〔导致温室效应的气体排放〕,which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,〞 Laupepa told the BBC. Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable〔易受影响的〕to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon ,president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation〞.55. The text is mainly about ________ .A. rapid changes in earth's temperatureB. bad effects of global warmingC. moving of a country to a new placeD. reasons for lowland flooding56.

Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not _________.A. agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissionsB. sign an agreement with TuvaluC. allow Tuvaluans to move to the USD. believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real58. The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is _________.A. AustraliaB. New ZealandC. the MaldivesD. the United States59. Which of the following words has the similar meaning as the word “forefathers〞inthe fourth paragraph?A. citizensB. relativesC. ancestorsD. friendsCNo country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted (引用) all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of the these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the "sensational", which feature crime, sex and gossip, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain and give as much information as possible, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.Just as American newspapers satisfy all tastes, so do they also try and appeal to readers of all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of differing political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.As in other countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the Vietnam War.60. There are fewer national newspapers in ___________A. Britain than in the USAB. France than in BritainC. the USA than in Britain or FranceD. France than in the USA or Britain61. Most American newspapers try hard to entertain their readers because __________A. they have to keep up a good relation with themB. they have to compete with televisionC. they have to write about crime and gossipD. they have to give factual news in an interesting way62. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political preferenceby___________A. supporting extremist groups from time to timeB. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC. avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD. printing articles representing different political viewpoints63. The passage is mainly about ______________A. the characteristics of American newspapersB. the development of American newspapersC. the functions of American newspapersD. the advantages and disadvantages of American newspapersDExternal bleeding〔1〕Apply direct pressure. Place a clean, folded cloth over the injured area and firmly apply pressure. If blood soaks through, do not remove it. Instead, cover thatcloth with another one and continue to apply pressure to the wound for 7~10 minutes. If the bleeding is from the ear, place a clean bandage over the ear, lay the victim on his side, and allow the blood to drain out through the bandage.〔2〕Elevate the injury. Position the wounded part of the body above the level of the heart if possible while you apply direct pressure.〔3〕Know the pressure points. If direct pressure and elevation don't sufficiently slow the bloodflow, find a pressure point. Large arteries(动脉) found close to the skin's surface supply blood to the head and to each arm and leg. The most common pressure points used during the first aid are located in the upper arms and in the creases〔皱纹〕 above the upper legs. Apply pressure to the closest pressure point to the wound so that the artery is pressed between your fingers and the bone directly behind the artery. If using the pressure point on a leg, you may need to use the heel of your hand instead of your finger.〔4〕Resort to a tourniquet〔止雪带，压脉器〕.On very rare occasions everything listed above may fail. To prevent the victim from dying, you should apply a tourniquet. Once a tourniquet is applied, it should not be loosened or removed until the victim has reached medical help. Use a tourniquet ONLY if everything listed above has failed. If you use a tourniquet, write down somewhere on the victim the time when it was applied, so medical personal will know how long it has been in place.64. According to the passage, if a person is wounded and bleeding, you should _____.A. cover the wound with a clean, folded cloth and press itB. spread some salve (药膏) on the woundC. pressed the wound firmly with your fingerD. place a clean bandage over the wound65.
