after a miscalculation of how much rope he would need to swing through the arch ,and died from his injuries ,Known as “pendulum swinging,”the activity is relatively new—but quickly growing in popularity due to videos.Corona Arch ,where the accident took place, sits on Utah state Lands, The administration of those Lands , who had hanned commercial jumping this year,,told The Associated Press it couldn’t prevent people from doing it on their own even though a sign was put up with the warning “severe injury or death even if your equipment works.”The Bureau of Land Management, which will take over the site that includes Corona Arch, is “taking a closer look at appropriate ways to balance and manage these activities on public lands,”BLM spokeswoman Megan Crandall told The AP.Although Kyle was an experienced rock climber, he was not trained for this specific jump, according to The Deseret News , Stocking’s parents spoke to The Deseret News on Tuesday,asking other

comfort to the victims, families and citixens of Boston who remain heartbroken after the attack.Five dogs have traveled frm Ilnosis, where they are sponsored and trained by Lutheran Church Charities , to give hugs to victims in their hospital beds and to citizens on the steets . The animals are certified service dogs, but instead of being matched wth individuals with disabilities , they visit churches , hospitals ,schools and wherever they are needed to bring comfort.Tim Hetzner, president of lutheran Church Charties said, “At first the patients have sipmly smiled ,but within minutes , they begin sharing the details of the horrific day with the animals. They tell the dog the story of what happened . Dogs are great listeners , They can sense when someone is stuggling.”Scientific evidence shows dogs have a healing（治愈的）power for people who have suffered upsttting events ,Dr.Raizman at a children’s hospital thinks the animals help decrease patients’ stress buy increasing the release of oxytocin（催产素）,which is the hormone that bonds mothers to babies ,Studies have shown patients who spend time with dogs have higher levels of dopamine , which is known to reduce depression.―It’s actually been shown to help more than medicine , and you don’t have the side effect,‖Raizman said, adding that many people prefer to share details of terrible events with a dog rather than with another person.It’s a model that other piople are taking on too, One Boston resident,Amber Hathaway, posted a message on Reddit to welcome citizens to bug her dogs on Wedesday afternoon in Boston Common.―I don’t have enough money to donate much,but I still want to help , The only things I have to offer are two stupid ,friendly dogs, They always make me feel better.‖66、Dogs have traveled from Illinois to .A、relieve people’s sufferingsB、discover the attackerC、help the disabledD、wtay at churches67、Patients began to share their difficulties probably because the dogs .A、were from far awayB、were reliable IistenersC、obey their ordersD、undrstood their hobbies68、Which of the following is the dog’s healing power?A、Reducing the level of oxytocinB、Marking patients less anxiousC、Replacing medicine or drugsD、Training people to speak out69、Amber Hathaway set a good example of .A、offering service of dogsB、donating money to victimsC、providing messages of dog grainingD、welcoming citizens to Boston Common70、What does the text mainly talk about?A、The comfort from dogsB、The heartbreak of Boston peopleC、The boston bombingsD、The training of dogs.DIs your car a banana or a pineapple? It’s not a joke , Scinedtists in Brazil have developed a new way to use fibers from fruit plants to strengthen car plastics.By using fibers from seemingly delicate rfuits shch as bananas and pineapplesk, the scientists say they can strengthen new plastics, making them no only stronger and lighter,but more lasting as well,“They ae light,but evry strong—30 percent lighter and three to four times stronger,”research leaderAlcides Leao from Brazil said, Some of the fibers can be as strong as Kevluar ,the super –strong material used to make bullet—proof vests ,Besides ,the plastics are also more resistant to damage from heat, water ,oxygen and even overflowed gasoline.Cellulose（纤维素）is the main component of wood and has been used for centuries to make paper, Recently scientists have discovered that intensive processing of wood releases tiny or ―nano‖celluoose fibers, so tiny that 50,000 could fir across the width of a single human hair, When mixed with other raw materials, these nano-cellulose fibers can make plastic stronger.According to leao ,pineapple leaves and stems,and stems , and a plant related to the pineapple in South America, called curaua ,rather than wood may be the most proper source for nano cellulose, To create the plastics ,researchers put the leaves and stems of pineapples and heated the mixture over several cycles, producing a powder that was then added to the plastics.The process is costly ,but it takes just one pound of nano-cellulose to produce 100 pounds of super-strong,lightweinght plastic, Leao pointed out ,Some carmakers have already tested these nano-cellulose plastics and scientists have predicted the plastics would he in use within two years ,mainly for car bodies.71、What does the underlined word“They”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A、New plasticsB、PineapplesC、Delicate fruitsD、Plants72、Which might be the best material for cellulose?A、AppleB、WoodC、BananaD、Curaua73、What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A、How to make plastics strongerB、How to create the new plasticsC、How to find the most proper sourceD、How to add the powder to the plastics74、The new plastics will be mostly used in .A、car makingB、paper makingC、crop farmingD、wood processing75、It can be concluded that the practical use of the fruit fibres is .A、impossibleB、controversialC、illegalD、promising第II卷（共45分）第四部分书面表达（共两节，满分45分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；第76题4分，第77、78、79题每题3分，第80题2分，满分15分）[1]Many students start working during holidays to add extra money to their pockets, It assoputs stuednts in an environment where they learn new things that are a way different from school activitiesand educational atmosphere, Landing a holiday job becomes easy when students realize the jobs that they interested in Now let’s see how to land a holiday job.[2]Holiday hiring usually begins during the fall season .Therefore ,you should keep your resume （简历）ready with all necessary details in it ,write more on you educational background and career goals .Mention you previous job experiences if you have worked in holidays, Experess you hobbies, interests ,and skills in your resume ,An excellent resume provieds greater chances of employment.[3]You should start looking for jobs at least a month before you holidays behin .Nnow if you are a fresher ,then you must be wonedring wehre to look for a holiday job how to get a holiday job,Do not limit yourself to only one field , Register yourslelf in job websites and post your resume in their sites, You sill find a large number of holiday jobs for students that will match your interest, Newspapers and magaxines also have thousands of job advertisements for students.[4]I repeat once again that you ,because it will limit your opportunity of landing a proper holiday job, Mail your resume to the expected companies or you can directly walk into their offices , Once you ae chosen ,they will ask you to join on a specific date ,If you complete these processes before your vacation bgeins, then you can join in your vacation,In short ,an early start is needed.[5]Once you have started owrking ,you will soon experience the satisfaction of earning money ,Last but no least ,remember to discuss with you paents before making any decision.76、List the two benefits of students’ working during holidays according to Paragraph 1.(no more than 10 words)①②77、What’s Paragraph2 mainly about?(no more than 6 words)78、Where can students find job information according to the text?(no more than 5 words79、Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words(no more than 10 words)80、Complete the following statement with one word from Paragraph 5?Earning extra money during holidays can give students a wense of and independence.第二节写作（满分30分）假如你是李华，近期我国部分地区流行H7N9禽流感，你为居住在上海的美国朋友jack担心。
