第一节 阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)。
A
One August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey. Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp (黄蜂) nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.
“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”
Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”
She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.
As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.
Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike (话筒), trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.
Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock (休克). Just then he reached for the radio mike again.
“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”
“Five-ten,” the center replied.
Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.
At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasped him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.
26. Allen didn’t know that if stung by wasps again, he would _________.
A. have no after-effects B. suffer from sharper pain
C. lose his life D. become much weaker
27. Which of the following is NOT true according the story
A. Allen drove to the fire station because he knew there was a rescue team there.
B. Allen managed to make his request of help clear though he had difficulty talking by then.
C. The mini-bus centre did help in that they got the rescue team ready before Allen arrived.
D. Allen shouldn’t have looked at the wasps when he helped Mrs. Carey.
30. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Allen, A Helpless Driver B. Wasps, Bloody Killers
C. A Race against Death D. War against Wasps
B
“The world’s oceans are slowly getting more acidic,” say scientists. The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
The lowering of the waters’ PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.
Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.
These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change. “This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing COZ into the atmosphere,” said Dr Caldeira. “And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed(超过) anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid impacts.”
However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life. Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changes. Coral reefs and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate(小行星) may be particularly affected if the water’s acidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH.
In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming. But Dr. Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered. “Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing---because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2, is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.”
29. According to Dr. Caldeira, _________.
A. ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thing
B. more oil fuels will be used in the near future
C. scientists may predict climate changes with computer models
D. the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious
30. If the water’s acidity level keeps rising, _________.
A. ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affected
B. the waters’ PH value will become higher and higher
C. organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to pH changes
D. some disastrous events will occur more often than before
31. What does the underlined word “acidic” probably mean
A. 污染的 B. 酸的 C. 复杂的 D. 温暖的
32. The purpose of this passage is to _________.
A. show people the findings of a research team
B. inform people of how acid the ocean is now
C. introduce Dr. Caldeira and his team’s research
D. warn people of the higher level of CO2
C
James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
“J.C.”, he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.
“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.
“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”
33. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when _________.
A. he went to Ohio State University B. his teacher made fun of him
C. his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse” D. he won gold medals in the Games
34. Owens received no telephone calls from the president because__________.
A. he was not of the right race
B. he was the son of a poor farmer
C. he didn’t shake hands with Hitler
D. he refused to listen to the suggestion that he give up.
35. Which of the following shows the correct order of James’ life
a. James worked part time to get the fee for school
b. He was honored by the US
c. He got success at the Olympic Games
d. James set many records in Big Ten Games
e. He went to Cleveland with his family
f. Owens fell down and hurt his back
A. a-e-f-d-b-c B. e-a-d-f-b-e C. a-e-d-f-c-b D. e-a-f-d-e-b
36. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean
A. They have him famous in the US
B. They have been changed for money to help him live on
C. They have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life
D. They have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs
D
