Teddy and he dropped to the ground…When Kathy and V ictor reached the edge of the meadow, flames of the fire were shooting more than five meters into the air．Kathy couldn't believe what she was seeing．One glance told her they needed medical attention immediately．She questioned Victor, "Are you able to find someone nearby for help?""There are no farmers, nor villagers nearby," he replied．"I'm a distance runner, and I'll go for help．" Looking at the seriously injured men, Kathy said to V ictor, "It may take me several hours to get out．" She started out．When she was 23, Kathy set a women's record in a Marathon of 42 kilometers．But now she was running the race of life. She had nearly 30 kilometers of hard wilderness to cover to get help．Kathy had been running for two hours．This was far back into the wilderness．The country path was growing vague．She stopped to take a quick compass reading．Y es, she had run almost for more than 20 kilometers．Her heart fell, her muscle aching．And finally she saw her car in the distance．She jumped into the car and sped away．She reached a holiday house and called the police．During the wait, she walked around, relaxing her legs and drinking water.

People usually have trouble in arranging. The following will give you some practical suggestions on paying a valuable visit to the famous park.When to go?While it’s always busy, Disney World is slightly slower between mid-January and March. It’s summer when the visitors , combined with the heat and humidity(潮湿)，are crowded. Y our best choice is either early in the morning or late in the day--- often you can enjoy more rides in the first or last two hours of the day than you can the entire rest of the day combined.Where to stay?The question: to stay on Disney World Resort property or not. Disney World offers three resort pricing: Deluxe(豪华的), Moderate, and V alue, with good facilities and in-hotel attractions. That said, they all offer ―Extra Magic Hours‖(early access to the theme parks), guaranteed entry when the parks are over-crowded, and frequent shuttle service to the many attractions. Off-property hotels will have shuttle transfers, but often at less regular intervals(间歇)，wasting more time in transport. Y ou’ll also need a rental car, which adds to the expense, making up forsaving in the hotel rate. The ―Magic Y our Way Package‖ is a g ood value if you have a large family.What to do?Make use of the ―Fast Pass‖ , which , for no extra cost, allow you to insert your entrance ticket into a particular machine at the attraction and receive a schedule ride time a little later on. For exam ple, use your Fast Pass ticket at a ride just before getting lunch. Once you’re done eating, you can return to the ride and jump right on during the busiest time of day. At the Animal Kingdom, the animals are most active either early or late in the day, so plan accordingly. Thankfully this is fit for the least busy times of day in the park. Study the map of the park the night before to plan your visit. Y ou’ll save time by knowing where things are and where you’re headed.60. V isitors who use Fast Pass tickets ________A. can get discounts on ticketsB. will have a well-planned ride timeC. will often be checked at the exitD. have to pay more for their tickets61. If you have referred to the map of the park, you ________A. are sure to save timeB. will get the lowest-priced ticketsC. can learn the park’s locationD. may have your lost tickets replaced62. The underlined word “this” in the text probably refers to the fact that ________A. there are more visitors at that timeB. animals are active at that timeC. the Animal Kingdom attracts fewer visitorsD. Fast Pass benefits visitors a lot63. It can be learned from Part 2 that _________A. every visitor will have a rental car for freeB. all the shuttle transfers are convenient for visitors.C. three typed of resort pricing are offered by Disney WorldD.Y oung couples are advised to take the Magic Y our Way Package .CAs computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widespread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.―When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.‖―I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.‖Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, ―Chine se characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value. But thosecharacters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.‖To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的) and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.64. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.B. To type or to Handwrite.C. Writing by Computer will Replace Writing by Hand.D. Practical and Aesthetic V alue of Chinese Characters.65. Which of the following statements is NOT the advantage of handwriting?A. Handwriting contains the writer’s emotion.B. The writer’s think ing and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.C. Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence.D. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.66. The underlined expression ―taking stock in‖ probably means ___________.A. getting bored withB. getting dependent onC. becoming curious aboutD. getting curious about67. We can draw the conclusion from the passage that ___________.A. more and more students will give up writing on a computer.B. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day.C. more and more students will pay attention to handwriting.D. the typing article better expresses one’s emotion and quality.DAt least 10 million hectares of cultivated（耕作）land in China are polluted, which makes a grave threat to the country’s food safety, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Friday.The polluted land，which is mostly in economically developed areas，accounts for one-tenth of the country’s total arable（可耕种的）land，according to an incomplete survey by the State Environmental Protection Administration，China’s top environment watchdog.Pollution on cultivated land threatens the environment，food safety and the sustainable development of agriculture，the administration said.Because of continual，too much use of chemical fertilizer, pesticide and agricultural plastic sheeting, as well as irrigation using polluted water, a large amount of contaminants（污染物）remain in the cultivated land.The contaminants affect the so il’s ecological structure and function，leading to decreased soil productivity, lower crop yield（产量），and lower quality of agricultural products- It also leads to worse water quality in rural areas.Less than 9 per cent of drinkable water passed checks for bacteria in243 rural water supply stations across the county.Another survey, which took samples of drinking water and groundwater an 69 small towns。
