A person should be strict with himself，but be kind to others．COne Sunday，Nicholas，a teenager，went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine．In the early afternoon，when he was planning to go home，a fierce snowstorm swept into the area．Unable to see far，he accidentally turned off the path．Before he knew it，Nicholas was lost，all alone! He didn't have food，water，a phone，or other supplies．He was getting colder by the minute．Nicholas had no idea where he was．He tried not to panic．He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV．It was time to put the tips he had learned to use．He decided to stop skiing．There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put．The first thing he did was find shelter from the freezing wind and snow．If he didn't，his body temperature would get very low，which could quickly kill him．Using his skis，Nicholas built a snow cave．He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle．Then he piled branches on top of himself，like a blanket，to stay as warm as he could．By that evening，Nicholas was really hungry．He ate snow and drank water from a nearbystream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water．Not knowing how much longer he could last，Nicholas did the only thing he could-he huddled （蜷缩）in his cave and slept．The next day，Nicholas went out to look for help，but he couldn't find anyone．He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave，because without shelter，he could die that night．On Tuesday，Nicholas went out again to find help．He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him．After two days stuck in the snow，Nicholas was saved．Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm if it had not been for TV．He had often watched Grylls' survival show Man vs．Wild．That's where he learned the tips that saved his life．In each episode （一期节目）of Man vs．Wild，Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out．When Grylls heard about Nicholas' amazing deeds，he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive．8.What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon？______A. He hurt his eyes．B. He broke his skis．C. He got lost．D. He caught a cold．9.How did Nicholas keep himself warm？______A. He built a snow cave．B. He lighted some branches．C. He kept on skiing．D. He found a shelter．10.On Tuesday，Nicholas ______ ．A. returned to his shelter safelyB. stayed where he wasC. got stuck in the snowD. was saved by a searcher11.Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he ______ ．A. was very hardworkingB. watched Grylls' TV program regularlyC. created some tips for survivalD. did the right things in the dangerous situationDTo help the environment，many Americans have made the change from paper and plastic bags to reusable shopping bags．But a report by a Florida newspaper says that reusable shopping bags sold by some supermarkets have high levels of lead （铅），which can be dangerous tohumans，especially young children．Now，there's a call for a rethink about the use of reusable shopping bags．"When our families go to the store looking for safe and healthy foods，the last thing they should be worrying about is a bag，" Charles Schumer，a government official said．"Quick and complete research will allow everyone to make right decisions．"The newspaper bought more than a dozen bags sold at Publix Super Markets from Florida to test them for lead．The results showed that certain bags had lead levels that worried health officials．Some bags had enough lead in them to be considered dangerous waste if people were to throw the bags out with other rubbish．Lead in the bags is not likely to move onto food．But over time，paint （油漆）on the bags can break off and the bags can wear out．When this happens，lead can be freed．The affected （受影响的）bags were found in Florida．But publix has more than 1，000 stores across America．Publix says that its bags don't break any laws about lead levels，but that they have asked the makers of the bags to reduce （降低）the lead levels in them．The bags with the highest levels of lead had beautiful designs and many pictures．Plain reusable bags without them are found to have little lead．People who are worried about lead levels in reusable bags can turn to cloth．Paper bags are also a good choice，since paper can be reused．12.What worries people now is that reusable shopping bags ______ ．A. can't be reusedB. are as bad as paper bagsC. are a waste of moneyD. can be a danger to people13.The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refers to " ______ "．A. foodsB. bagsC. supermarketsD. officials14.Lead in shopping bags will probably come out when ______ ．A. food is put in themB. the paint is separated from themC. they are put with other rubbishD. they are thrown away15.What's the best title for the text？______A. Look Out for Reusable Shopping BagsB. Time to Invent Greener Shopping BagsC. The effect of Shopping BagsD. The Return of Paper Bags二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Memorizing an essay is a great way to pass tests and increase your overall knowledge．(1) ．Here are some techniques to help you memorize an essay easily．(2) ．Start early when you need to memorize something．Give yourself one day for every paragraph or page．Master one section each day．Once you have memorized two sections separately，try putting them together，Then you will find memorizing the whole essay is not so hard．Read the essay out loud to start learning it．Reading the essay out loud is important because it forces you to read and speak every single word in the essay．(3) ．Test yourself after reading．After you have studied the text for a while，put it down，and recite （背诵）as much as you can from memory．At first，you may not remember much，but every time you practice，you will recall more and more．(4) ．If you miss a word or forget a line，he can prompt （提示）you by telling you the next word or two．Start from the end if going from the beginning is not working．(5) ．Begin by memorizing the last sentence or paragraph，and then move back to the sentence or paragraph right before that one．A．This will help you remember it．B．Memorize a little bit each day．C．Sometimes you may find it easier to start from the end．D．Try writing out the essay once or twice．E．In addition，find a partner to test you on what you've memorized．F．However，many students find it difficult to memorize an essay．G．Memorizing something in one session is not the most effective way to learn it16.

The wind is getting stronger and there is a chance that it will rain. Though the weather is bad, Al Gehrke sits 110 floors above the ground, 442 meters above the earth. You may be wondering what he is doing so far off the ground. If you asked him, he would say, ―I am just doing my job!‖Al Gehrke has a very special job that not many people would want to have. He manages one of the tallest buildings in the world--the Wills Tower in Chicago. His team washes and changes the windows. The Wills Tower has 16, 000 windows and each window weighs over 90 kilos. Gehrke and his team work from seven in the evening until four in the morning. They clean 18 windows each night. Each window takes almost 30 minutes. Al Gehrke is not afraid of high places and he is a good man for the job.Mary Ann also has an unusual job. Instead of hanging high above the earth washing windows, she works under the water.

They decide to do that for us because of the relationship we have,‖ she said.Besides washing windows high above the earth or swimming with big fish under the water, there are other unusual jobs that you have probably never thought of people having.
