AMost people go to a doctor in their own town or suburb . But people in the Australian outback can’t get to a doctor quickly. The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers a way so they have to call him on a two-way radio. This special doctor is called the “flying doctor”. He visits sick people by plane.When someone is very sick, the doctor has to fly to the person’s home. His plane lands on a flat piece of ground near the p erson’s house. Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year.However, most of the time the person isn’t very sick, and the doctor doesn’t have to visit. He can give advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center. He can tell the patient to use some medicine from a special medicine chest (箱子). There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube and packet in the chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this,” take two tablets from bottle 5 every four hours.”21. Some people in the Australian outback can’t get to a doctor quickly. Because_________A. there are few doctors thereB. the nearest doctor is sometimes very far away from themC. there is always heavy traffic on the roadD. they don’t want to see a doctor22. The doctor there usually goes to visit his patient _____.A. by seaB. in a carC. on footD. by air23. From the passage we know that_________.A. every family in the outback has a special medicine chestB. people in Australia are seldom illC. a “flying doctor” is a man who flies people to hospitalD. there are very few hospitals in AustraliaBA Swedish man was dug out alive after being snowed in his car on a forest track for two months with no food, police and local media reported on Saturday.The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday, February17, too weak to say more than a few words.He was found not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a ruined car until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside.The man, who was lying in the back seat in a sleeping bag, said he had been in the car since December 19.“Just incredible that he’s alive considering that he had no food, but also since it’s been really cold for some time after Christmas,” a rescue team member told regional daily Vasterbottens- Kuriren, which broke the news. Ebbe Nyberg, duty officer at the Umea police, said police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.“We would not make up something like this. The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us.” he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.Umea University Hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances.Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow, the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的) state, physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.“A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that.” he said. “He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up.”“Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown,” police said.24.Who found the Swedish man in the snow?A.Snowmobilers.B.The police.C.A rescue team.D.Local people.25.“Police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.”Implies that________.A.police didn’t think it trueB. police were sure of the factC.police had some doubt on the factD. police had reasons to doubt the fact26.The reason why the man could survive was most probably that______.A.he was only forty-five years oldB. he slept in the sleeping bagC. he was in a dormant-like stateD.he did not use any energy27.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A.A Traffic AccidentB.A Successful RescueC.A Long Sleep in WinterD. An Incredible SurvivalCAs with any house guests, indoor plants require a certain amount of basic, regular attention if they are going to feel at home. The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed.A general rule for most plants being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit, a position out of cold air, safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight.Plants love company. When plants are growing together, they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions. A group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement. There is no secret to this. Just rely on your natural feeling for harmony.Watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood, but, again, if you follow a few simple rules, your plants should do well. Cold slightlywarm water is therefore the answer. It is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom. Avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals- it is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering.The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October, and during this time, the established ones will benefit from regular feeding. This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer(肥料) at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength. It is important, however, to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive, when the soil in the pot is dry, or too soon after the plants has been potted up.28. In Paragraph 2, the author mainly tells us to___________.A. buy plants that help clean indoor airB. create a new environment with plantsC. put plants on the sunny side of the roomD. make sure of suitable conditions for plants29. What’s the benefit of plants growing together?A. It provides owners good company.B. It makes it convenient to look after them.C. It helps the air around them slightly wet.D. It allows owners to draw a pleasant picture.30. While watering the plants, what should we remember to do?A. Use water that is a little warm.B. Pour the water into the pot holder.C. Give small amount of water at one time.D. Consider further watering in wet weather.31. What is the best time to feed the plants?A. When the soil is dry.B. When the temperature is high.C. When their growth is active.D. When they have just been planted.DAlexis was hot and tired. With rage in her voice she shouted, "Pull me up！I give up, I hate this. This is stupid!" It was at that moment when Jason, the adviser on the trip, looked at me and said, "Ed, I'm going to go down and talk with her." I then shouted down to Alexis, "Hold on! You can do this. We know you can!"Jason grasped another rope, put his climbing harness(系带)on and began to move down the cliff. Within moments Jason was beside Alexis. She had her cheek directly against the face of the rock with her feet barely resting on a small piece of the cliff that stuck outward. Jason said to Alexis, "I know that you have been on this cliff now for what seems like a long time. Your feetand fingers are cramping(痉挛)up and your forearms feel as though they are on fire. But , Alexis, you are strong, look how far up you are already. You have taken one of the more difficult paths up the cliff. Alexis, look at the path you have taken."At that moment, Alexis moved her cheek away from the rock face and looked down. The bright white chalk she used in her hands to give her a better hold, showed the path where her tired hands had moved her upward on the cliff. Jason was right. Alexis had taken the hardest way up the cliff. Jason then looked straight into Alexis' eyes and in a calm voice he said, "You are not alone out here, there are people who care about you, who want to help you and see you succeed. We are going to do this together. Are you ready?" Slowly she nodded her head and took a deep breath.32. Jason went down the cliff because _________.A. Alexis took a wrong pathB. Alexis was trapped in rocksC. Alexis didn’t believe in herselfD. Alexis’ forearms were badly hurt33.

Alexis would probably become _________.A. easier to give upB. more strong-mindedC. poorer in healthD. less interested in rock climbing第二节（共5 小题，每小题2 分，满分10 分）Trave ling is one of life’s great joys.
