It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to $30,000 reward money.Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber‟s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three h ours while armed police prepared to storm the building.She said, “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park, I was so glad they were there.”The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 p.m. the day before New Year‟s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said, “He didn‟t seem to want to talk too much or make any eye contact.” Vicki, the only emp loyee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and her husband试卷第2页，共11页Stall McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 p.m.Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 p.m. to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said …Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?‟ My heart missed a beat.”Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that pair of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man‟s room, but I could see the passage (走廊). The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (带手铐).”1、The underlined phrase “be in line for” in the first paragr aph means __________. A ．get B ．be paid C ．ask for D ．own2、Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because _________. A ．the police called her B ．he looked very strangeC ．he came to the hotel with little luggageD ．he came to the hotel the day before New Year‟s Eve 3、David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in _________. A ．the passage B ．the man‟s room C ．Vicki‟s bedroom D ．the top floor room4、The whole event probably lasted about ________hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers. A ．6 B ．8 C ．11 D ．14Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time —about eight hours after you wake up —your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there wasno night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later. In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡；打盹) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful．5、Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?A．Because you eat too much for lunch．B．Because it‟s hot in summer．C．Because your body temperature goes down at that time．D．Be cause you didn‟t have a good sleep last night．6、What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?A．All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day．B．Doctors need to take naps while employers don‟t．C．If you take naps e veryday, you‟11 never suffer from heart disease．D．Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people‟s health．7、What can we infer from the passage?A．You‟ll feel sleepy at regular intervals（间隔）.B．Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.C．You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.D．If you get up at 6:30 am, you‟d better take a nap at about 1:30 pm.8、What would be the best title for the text?A．Just for a RestB．All for a Nap试卷第4页，共11页C ．A Special Sleep PatternD ．Taking Naps in Warmer ClimateI woke up late and had breakfast in a hurry. I had never been late and didn‟t want my boss to be unsatisfied. However, it seemed that day wasn‟t a lucky one for me from the very second I left my flat. The moment I wanted to rush downstairs one of my stiletto heels (细高跟) broke. I had to return to change my red shoes. I also had to change my purse and other little things that I had tried to match with the shoes. I was sure I would be late for work.On my way to work I had to wait for over half an hour because of an accident. I had no choice but to wait. I phoned my boss and he told me that it was no problem, but he needed me for the meeting with the Japanese clients (客户) that morning.Finally, I arrived at the office one hour later. I had to keep calm and be fresh for the meeting to make the clients sure that our plan was the best for their future commercial (商业的) project. However, I left the plan I had made the night before at home and was going to present (介绍) it to the clients. I was about to get angry when I realized that I had a draft (草稿) of it in my office. At last, the presentation came to an end and it turned out to be a success. But I have to say that I had a terrible day, full of incidents (事件).9、Which of the following is NOT the reason of the writer being late for her work? A ．She got up late in the morning.B ．She changed her purse and other little things.C ．One of her shoe heels broke.D ．She had a traffic accident on the way to work.10、According to the passage, what could we learn about the writer? A ．Her boss was very angry with her. B ．She left her plan on the bus.C ．She often arrived at her office on time.D ．She was nervous at the meeting.11、According to the passage, which is the correct order of the following events? a. She presented the plan to the clients. b. One of her stiletto heels broke. c. She arrived at the office. d. She phoned her boss.e. She tried to match her purse with her red shoes.A．beacd B．bedca C．dceab D．edcba12、Which old saying could be used to describe the writer‟s incidents?A．Failure is the mother of success.B．A good beginning makes a good ending.C．Where there is a will, there is a way.D．One trouble never comes alone.Tourism wasn‟t as important as it is today. In the past, onl y people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive than ever before. One person doesn‟t travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food.Tourism causes many changes in a country and in people‟s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train native men and women as guides to show visitors interesting places. There‟re new nightclubs and other amusements. Internat ional tourism is clearly a big business.13、More people travel today than in the past because______________.A．people have become interested in travelingB．traveling today is easier the in the pastC．people now have spare money for travelD．great changes have taken place in the world14、Which of the following statements is true according to the article?A．Tourism won‟t bring any changes in people‟s minds.B．With the development of tourism, great changes have taken place in many parts in the world.

But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and you cannot focus on your schoolwork.For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem (自尊) is the key to success. Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail at something.“Forget about self -esteem,” says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Michigan, US. “It‟s not the important thing.” Feeling good[来源:学科网ZXXK]Crocker‟s advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good abou t yourself. Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.试卷第2页，共12页But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.He believes that violent and wicked (邪恶的) people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said: “There‟s no evidence that kids with high self -es teem do better in school.” ProblemsAll types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos (自我) that can make them less likeable to their peers(同龄人), said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves, Vohs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help. What to doResearchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail at something, try to learn from the experience. “The best therapy (药方) is to recognize your faults,” Vohs says. “It‟s OK to say, …I‟m not so good at that,‟ and then move on.”1、The new research comes to the conclusion that high self-esteem ________. A ．is not important at all B ．may not be the key to success C ．has taken on a different meaning D ．does not help you do better at school2、One of the conclusions of the new research is that ________. A ．people with high esteem tend to be proudB ．people with high esteem usually do not seek other‟s helpC ．feeling good about oneself doesn‟t mean you lead a happier lifeD ．people with low esteem are often more popular3、The underlined part “a better person” in the passage probably means a pers on who is ______. A ．helpful and supportive B ．gentle and modest C ．likable and successful D ．friendly and kind4、From the text, we can infer the best therapy mentioned in the last paragraph is mainly for people ________. A ．of all kindsB．with low self-esteemC．with high self-esteeD．who are focusing on building self-esteemHayao Miyazaki, the 72-year-old Japanese master of fantasy animation (奇幻动画), one of the most respected animation directors in the world, announced his retirement on September 6, after the recent release of his new film The Wind Rises.Miyazaki‟s vision(视野) has remained unique throughout his many films over the past thirty years. The worlds he creates—the valley of the wind, the castle in the sky, and so many—are so special, so attractive. Here are some key words about his films.Good and evil (邪恶) Miyazaki rarely tells stories in simple good and evil. The worlds he creates tend to be complex (复杂的) and unclear. The bad figures often don‟t seem so bad once you get to know them. Miyazaki has explained that the lack of clear good and evil is because he sees the 21st century as complex time, in which old ideas need to be re-examined, even in children‟s films.Children The heroes in Miyazaki‟s films are usually children or teens, more often young girls. Sometimes they can see the spirit world; they are curious and friendly, even to strange creatures. The stories often deal with growing up.Sky and water Two of Miyazaki‟s great loves are the sky and water, and he uses them in related ways. Flight is a forever theme—Miyazaki has never done a film without flying of some kind. His imagination seems to fly and leave behind the pull of gravity (重力), a force and control that he feels a bound (束缚) from setting him free. Water is another way for Miyazaki to fight gravity. In his films he likes the unexpected floods with crystal-clear water, and objects floating on the surface seem to be supported by magic.Peace Miyazaki‟s negative view of the war goes far more than surface deep. Violence is usually seen as wrong and painful, and Miyazaki‟s heroes are often peacemakers.5、What can we know about good and evil from Miyazaki‟s films?A．The complex time tends to turn good into evil.B．He uses his films to show good finally defeats evil.C．The figures cannot be simply judged as good or evil.D．Children should learn to clearly tell good from evil.6、Miyazaki‟s love for flight may come from ______.试卷第4页，共12页A ．the relation between sky and waterB ．his hate for gravity since his childhoodC ．his desire to be free from gravityD ．his love for water that can flood the world 7、In Miyazaki‟s films we may NOT see ______. A ．the attractive castle in the sky B ．a world left in ruins in the end C ．objects magically floating on the water D ．children with the problems of growing up 8、The purpose of writing the article is to ______.A ．show the writer‟s sadness for Miyazaki‟s retirement from the animation industryB ．help readers to k now about Miyazaki‟s life and his great achievementsC ．praise Miyazaki‟s contribution to the development of the film industryD ．introduce Miyazaki‟s retirement and the features (特点) of his animation filmsA mother is devastated, crying, yelling all she can in that dark corner. There was nobody tohear her yell and not a soul to calm her, because outside her house is a long winding lonely road.The wind was at rest and the leaves didn't rustle, silence filling the air. Loneliness was alreadykilling her ，but no one knows what made her cry.Losing something you love with all your heart isn't really the pain you can everovercome.Radha lost her baby, her only means to live. She saw her child getting killed and the accidentwas terrible. One lonely night, she was walking down the street to get a breath of fresh air withher child hugged tight in her arms.The whole time she walked with her child in her arms. The only thing that worried her wasAryan's future. She was imagining and feeling every day of the child‟s growt h, and figuringwhat she would have in store for him. But who knows what's in store for us tomorrow? Life canchange in a second.On that deserted road, were a few streetlights barely enough? It was this one light that couldbe seen from a distance, but as it came closer it got brighter and brighter. That lightchangedRadha's life into darkness forever. A speeding car came down that road. The driver came at aspeed of 110 kmph throwing beer bottles out of his half open window. He was definitely drunk,and the speed took everything in its path. Just then, there was a loud cry, andsilence set in again.But the mother wasn‟t hurt. She opened her eyes, unable to focus her eyes, and didn‟t seeAryan. After a few minutes when her sight cleared up she looked all over in a panic for her baby,but alas! ... The child hadn‟t even seen life.Simply, don't drink and drive. You could take a life, but kill a number of people. 9、The word“devastated” in Paragraph 1 would probably mean____________ . A ．worried B ．scaredC ．heart-brokenD ．weather-beaten 10、Which of the following statements is TRUE of Radha? A ．She had expected much of Aryan. B ．She got her eyes injured in the accident. C ．She was hit by one bottle on the arm. D ．She had everything ready for Aryan's future.11、The last sentence underlined implies that __________. A ．drunk driving is absolutely forbidden B ．drunk driving is certain to kill a lot of people C ．the driver killed Aryan and his motherD ．there is more than one victim (受害者) in a car accident 12、What would be the best title for the passage?

Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadaysdon’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not试卷第2页，共13页be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship (公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.1、The most suitable title for this passage would be __________. A ．Traffic Jams B ．Good Manners C ．Road Politeness D ．Modern Drivers2、Troubles on the road are often caused by __________. A ．traffic jamsB ．the behavior of the driversC ．the great speed of modern lifeD ．terrible road conditions3、According to the writer, a good driver should __________. A ．encourage children to cross the road whenever they want to B ．beat back when forced to face rude driving C ．be able to recognize politeness when he sees itD ．join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel 4、It is not always right for drivers to __________. A ．master the roadmanshipB ．neglect politeness when they see itC ．give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politenessD ．encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want toHowling is a behavior commonly observed among a wolf pack. As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other. There are different explanations of a wolf’s howl and it appears that there may be more to discover.One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together. It’s almost as if howling together helps试卷第3页，共13页the pack stay together. Perhaps it’s something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Harrington, a professor who studies wolf behavior.Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the next, quarreling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at times. So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm (重新确认) status among its members? —Why do wolves howl for sure?What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other. Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times.

I moved to Anderson in 2004 from a small town in New York. One day I stopped at a red light and was behind a car with a license plate that read “Pearl Harbor Survivor”. My father was a Pearl Harbor survivor, so I jumped out of my truck and tapped to his window. He rolled the window down and I asked if he was a Pearl Harbor survivor.“Yes,” he said. The lights turned green so I got back in my truck, turned left and went home straight. Then, I said to myse lf, “Why didn’t I get his name and phone number?” I went to the local Legion Post and asked if there was a Pearl Harbor survivor here on their roster (花名册). They told me yes and his name was Bronsil Metz. I looked up his name in the phone book and gave him a call. However, I failed to reach him anyway. I then drove to his address. With no answer to the door, I left a note saying that I would like to speak with him.The next day Metz called me back and we arranged to meet at his house. I gathered my father’s picture albums and drove to his house the next morning. My father passed away years ago, so I was filled with excitement about talking to someone with similar experiences. We two went through the albums. As I turned the pages, he started pointing out the people he knew as well as those familiar buildings. My father was a great record keeper, so after Metz named people in some pictures, I took the photos out and on the back, in my father’s handwriting, were the names, substantiating that Metz did really know the people.
