One day, when Carolyn and her husband were driving through heavy rain on their way home, they were 1 to see a police officer standing in the middle of the road.

According to Carolyn, a local man had called the animal control 5 he was worried about the sea turtle's safety on the busy road. With all the bad weather, the sea turtle would be hit by a car.

Instead of leaving the officer to her job, Carolyn's husband held a(n) 8 over her head while his wife went home to get some tools. The couple then used the tools to get the sea turtle to the other side of the 9 where it was safe.
“The officer thanked us and we thanked her and we all went on our way,” Carolyn said. “She was smiling the whole time and she 10 seemed to care (在乎) that she was all wet. She was delightful (令人愉快的), kind, all the things that you think a police officer should be.”

三、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）
阅读下面的材料，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
National University is very crowded, so a new campus (校园) is being built 20 miles outside the city. Nearly all of the 20,000 students live in the city. Now there is only one small road between the city and the new campus. People have written letters to the government about different plans for solving the transportation problem.
My idea is simple: build a big expressway (高速公路) that goes to the new campus. If 20,000 students try to drive on that small road, the traffic will be terrible all day. An expressway would cost $20 million, but other people will use it too. It's worthwhile (值得的).— Mark

I think the government should lend money to students to buy cheap cars. That would be good for the economy (经济), because a lot of cars will be sold. It will also be good for the students, because they will come and go whenever they want.— Linda

The best idea is to build an underground line to the campus. It's true that this will take five years and cost $30 million, but the Underground is the fastest and most comfortable way to get around. Students work hard — we should try to make their lives easier!— Bud

The quickest and best way is to start a bus system from the old campus to the new campus. It's much less expensive than other plans. And we could start today. Buses aren't as fast as cars, but they save a lot of energy. And students could do their homework on the bus.— Eve
( )1. From the first paragraph, we can learn that the new campus of National University is _____.
A. still very crowded
B. a project of $20 million
C. a local government project
D. 20 miles away from the city
( )2. What's Mark's idea
A. To start a bus system.
B. To build an underground line.
C. To widen the small road.
D. To build a big expressway.
( )3. Which of the following is Bud's opinion
A. An underground line is worth the high cost.
B. The Underground is the safest way to go around.
C. The students should help build the Underground.
D. It takes less than 5 years to build the Underground.
( )4. How many reasons does Eve give for her idea
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
( )5. Who advises the government to lend money to the students
A. Eve. B. Mark. C. Bud. D. Linda.
B
Alex Winter is a rock climber. He spoke to Craig Jackson from Out and About magazine.
Imagine hanging on a rock face, with nothing between you and the ground hundreds of metres below. For Alex Winter, this is just another usual day. I called at his home in Fresno, California.
Craig: When did you first become interested in rock climbing
Alex: Well, Fresno's not far from Yosemite National Park in California. That's one of the best places for climbing in the world. Both my parents love rock climbing, and I started learning the basics at a very early age.
Craig: What advice would you give people who want to start rock climbing
Alex: The best way to learn how to climb is to do it. You can't learn climbing just from books. Practise on easy low climbs first, until you know the right moves. You need a good teacher. For me, that was my parents. And always use good equipment (设备). Your life depends on it. Probably the most important piece of equipment is the ropes. You really don't want them to break!
Craig: ▲
Alex: I've had a few falls, but the ropes have saved my life every time. If you lose your hold, the ropes are attached (固定) to the rock and they take your weight.

Carmen's mother Maria had heart trouble and she needed a heart transplant (移植). Both the mother and the daughter knew that the chances were very small. However, Carmen didn't just wait for bad things to happen. She kept on phoning the hospitals all over the country. She also stuck a card to her car. It read, “If I'm in an accident, please make sure my heart is donated (捐赠) to my mother.”

On New Year's Eve, Carmen stood by Frank's family at Cheryl's funeral, who were singing one of their favourite songs, “My heart will go on”. One day later, on New Year's Day, Maria woke up with Cheryl's heart. Yes, Cheryl's loving heart would go on, for it was alive in another mother's body.
