Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for
jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot
southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.
Mrs Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged
(扑), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.
Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped
onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.
Mrs Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH) for a medical treatment. The doctors
said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (伤口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a
serious cut to one of her fingers.
“This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital,
Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.
He said Mrs Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”.
Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean
the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.
1. This passage is most likely to be found in _____.
A. a tra vel guide B. a newspaper
C. a textbook D. a novel
2. The crocodile attacked Mrs Pethrick when she was ______.
A. swimming in the river
B. standing on the river bank
C. watching the crocodile
D. fishing in the water
3. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Mrs Pethrick?
A. Her eyes were badly poked.
B. She had eight wounds altogether.
C. One of her fingers also got hurt.
D. One of the crocodile’s teeth was found in her leg.
4. According to the passage, Norm Pethrick can be described as the following EXCEPT ______.
A. brave B. diligent C. quick D. humorous
B
Many of us are fascinated by time travel. Who wouldn’t be enthralled by returning to the past or
seeing the future? But time travel seems to be possible only in our imagination – or in most cases, in
science fiction.
Science fiction is a world where impossible things can become possible. But science fiction is not
entirely fiction since it is based on science theories and principles. I have compiled some of the popular
ways by which time travel is made possible in fiction books :
· Through the wormhole( 虫孔)——It is a shortcut between points in space-time. According
to Einstein, an object can pass through this if it can travel at the speed of light with infinite mass. An
example of a wormhole is described in RiddLe of the Red Bible.
·Through a black hole —— A black hole is a vacuum in space where light cannot even escape or
pass through. In some sci-fi movies, like Star Trek, black holes become the means to travel through time.
· Through time machines —— In fiction, time machines are complex vehicles that can
travel faster than light. A time machine can be a strange vehicle like TARDIS in Doctor Who or a specially
modified car like the one used in Back to the Future.[来源:Z.xx.k.Com]
· Through a parallel ( 平行的) universe ——Another popular way to travel through time is
to be able to slip or slide into a parallel universe where one can go back to a point in time and see a
different reality.
Though we know time travel may not be possible, it is still an entertaining subject and a heated topic
for most of us.
5. The underlined word “ enthralled” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “ .”
A. thrilled B. confused C. shocked D. upset
6. The means of travelling through a black hole is described in .
A. Doctor Who B. Back to the Future
C. Star Trek D. Riddle of the Red Bible
7. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
A. Time travel will never become possible even in the far future.
B. Time travel through a time machine will be the most common means.
C. Sci-fi writers have some similar experience as they describe in their fiction.
D. Many ways of time travel are described in science fiction besides the mentioned fours.
C
Some people asked me how I could suggest the expenses of billions of dollars for a voyage to Mars, at
a time when many children on this Earth are starving to death. I know that they do not expect an answer
such as “ Oh, I did not know that there are children dying from hunger, but from now on I will stop any
kind of space research until mankind has solved that problem! ” In fact, I have known of this long before.
But I firml y believe that by working for the space program we can make some contributions to the
relief and eventual solution of such serious problems as poverty and hunger on the Earth. Two basic factors
causing the poverty and hunger problems are the production of food and the distribution
(分布) of food. In fact, large areas of land could be used far better if efficient methods of farming, fertilizer
use, weather forecasting, field selection, planting, crop surveys, harvest planning and so on were applied.
The best tool for the improvement of all these methods undoubtedly, is the artificial Earth satellite. Circling
the globe at a high altitude, it can screen wide areas of land within a short time; it can observe and measure
a large variety of factors indicating the status and condition of crops, soil, droughts, rainfall, snow cover,
etc.
Besides, in the modern society, there is a continuing great need for new basic knowledge in the science
if we wish to improve the conditions of human life on the Earth. We need more knowledge in physics and
chemistry, in biology and physiology, and particularly in medicine to cope with all these problems which
threaten man’s life: hunger, disease, overpopulation, pollution of water and the environment. In a way, the
space age not only holds out a mirror in which we can see ourselves, it also provides us with the
technologies.
8. The passage is mainly discussing about .
A. whether the children’s dying from hunger is the major problem
B. whether there is an effective way to avoid the global starvation
C. whether the author’s suggestion has been taken into serious consideration
D. whether it is worth spending much money on the space research
9. According to the author, what plays an important part in dealing with poverty and hunger?
A. Food supply. B. Methods of farming.
C. Government support. D. Modern technology.[来源:学|科|网 Z|X|X|K]
10. The second paragraph is mainly developed by .
A. making comparison B. giving explanation
C. giving examples D. offering advice
11. From the last paragraph, we can infer that .
A. more basic knowledge is required to be learned
B. technologies can help to improve our living quality
C. we can live a more peaceful and happier life
D. there are different views on the space age
D
My grandfather died more than twenty-five years ago. He was kind, strong, fair, and very funny.
When I was a young musician, he was my biggest fan. My grandpa used to applaud when I was preparing
for it. I played my violin for him when he visited, and he loved everything, but each time he had one
request——call me to play Amazing Grace. And I usually did so.
About the time when I entered high school, grandpa got cancer. The last time I saw him alive was in
1985. For a moment I didn’t recognize him. He looked so small among all the white sheets, and I had never
thought of my grandpa as small in any sense.
The next morning I found my moment alone with him. I prepared my voilin, tuned to his appreciative
gaze, and finally played for him Amazing Grace. I had worked on it for weeks, knowing it never mattered if
I actually played it well and choosing not to believe as I played that it was my last concert for my biggest
fan. The cancer had stolen his smile, but I saw joy in his eyes. He held my hand afterward, and I knew I had
done something important.
I argued with people all through college about my music major. I was told by strangers that music
wouldn’t make me any money and it wasn’t useful like being a doctor. But I knew that with music I was
able to give my grandpa something at a point when no one else could. Food didn’t taste
good, doctors couldn’t help, and his body betrayed（辜负）him and left him helpless. But for a few minutes
listening to me with my violin, he seemed to find beauty and love and escape.
12. Every time the author’s grandfather came to visit her, he would .
A. ask her to play the same piece of music
B. pretend to think highly of her performance
C. applaud for her throughout her performance
D. remind the author of his kindness and humour
13. Why did the author spend weeks in practicing playing Amazing Grace?
A. She believed it can save her grandfather’s life.
B. She wanted her grandfather to be her biggest fan.
C. She wanted to express her sorrow by playing that song.
D. She wanted to comfort both herself and her dying grandfather.
14. The author seems to believe that .
A. being a doctor could earn her more fame and wealth
B. music could make a difference even to a dying old person
C. music could have a better effect on patients’ life than love
D. our life couldn’t be beautiful without each other’s care and love
15. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Grandfather’s Love B. Goodbye, My Favorite Music
C. Amazing Grace D. Human’s Better Nature
第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)
根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Stressed out?
Your schedule is packed with classes, homework, youth groups, hobbies, family and friends.
16 You might also be dealing with a relationship or family conflict. Sometimes it's just too much
to handle, and stress moves slowly into your life. Here are some ideas to help you balance your life and
reduce stress.
17 Certain practices can reduce stress hormones (荷尔蒙). These include remaining in a silent
state and listening to music you find calming.
Dr. Kathleen Hall, founder of the Stress Institute, also recommends using positive affirmations(肯定),
“Repeating a positive affirmation when you are stressed reduces the production of stress hormones. Create
an affirmation you love, such as, ‘I am strong; I am in control；everything has a purpose.’”
Interact (互相沟通)
Sometimes when we're stressed, we want to separate ourselves from others. 18 This could
mean just hanging out with a friend or getting involved in a group.
Exercise
Sports are a great way to reduce stress. 19 Try different physical activities until you find one
you enjoy: swimming, biking, hiking, etc.
20 What you eat can have a big influence on how you feel.To cut down on stress, always start
your day with breakfast. Also, eat more fish and nuts, and vitam in B6, found in bananas, turkey, brown rice
and sweet potatoes.
A. Eat healthily.
B. Relax your mind and body.
C. Positively involve yourself in society.
D. And team sports aren't the only way to reduce it.
E. We don't share it with others and always shoulder it on our own.
F. And being busy probably isn't the only thing going on in your life.
G. However, connecting with people who matter to us can help us reduce stress.

her 37 food.
That was the first time I had thought about how people who have almost nothing are sometimes able
to 38 the little they have more 39 than those who own a lot. I wonder if it’s true that the
more you have, the bigger the burden is and the more difficult it is to share anything with others. I was so
moved by that woman’s simple 40 that day. I clearly had more than she did, but she naturally and
joyfully shared what little she had with me.
