Robert Koho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut, 39, was working outside his home last October when he heard a frightening noise. He turned round and saw Walter Graham’s car sinking into 8 feet of water of the inground swimming pool a little distance away from his yard. Kohout immediately called to Graham’s wife, Evelyn, to phone 911. Then he ran back to his house to get Terence Reif and Glenn Fajardo to help, who were at work inside the house. “There was no time for second thoughts,” said Reif, a farmer’s son. “ The only thing to do is to get in the pool.”
The car doors were ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )locked. Graham, 73, was unconscious, and his mercury was rapidly filling with water. Reif struggled to break the driver’s side window with a hammer but had trouble getting it done underwater.
Finally, some of fou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r minutes after the car had fallen into the pool, the glass was broken. By then, Graham was floating at the top of the flooded passenger compartment.
The three men pulled ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Graham out through the broken glass. He wasn’t breathing and his heart stopped beating, so they performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The rescue team arrived in no time. Doctors supplied him with advanced life support on the way to the hospital.
“These peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e were getting to Graham through the glass,” said Dr. Jeff. “ All three acted without regard for their own safety.” Added Evelyn Graham, “ They were truly angels, watching over us.”
44. Who may Terrence Reif and Glenn Fajardo most probably be
A. Doctor and nurse. B. Policemen.
C. Walter’s wife and son. D. Workmen .
45. In the third paragraph, mercury referred to ____________________.
A. the old man’s car B. another workman
C. one of the man’s car D. a kind of machine
46. What does the word Resuscitation refer to in the story
A. A way of helping people who have heart trouble.
B. A way of saving people who have got drunk.
C. A way of saving people who have stopped breathing.
D. A way of helping people who need water.
47. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage
A. The Underwater Car B. Angels around Us.
C. Rescue Team in Time D. Safety First
Section C
Directions: Read ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
Research holds the key to successResearch on individual styles improves performanceWhat does the Olympic Motto Mean New equipment has made a differenceAB．Future personalized programs might be of help to athletes AC．Is there a limit to record-breaking
48．__________________.
A world record is e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )very athlete’s dream, but the hard-won records of a few years ago are mostly just today’s qualifying times. Roger Bannister’s famous four-minute mile of 1956 has been beaten by nearly 15 seconds, while almost an hour and twenty minutes has been taken off the women’s marathon since 1953, “Faster, higher, stronger” is the Olympic motto, and today’s competitors continue to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve. But one wonders if this can continue.
49．__________________.
The last forty ye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ars have seen many important technological advances. For example, since the introduction of strong, flexible fiber glass poles, over a meter has been added to the pole vault record. There have also been important developments in the design of the running shoes. And while a shoe won’t actually make someone run faster, modern shoes do mean many more miles of comfortable, injury-free training.
50．__________________.
Pushing back th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e limits now depends more on science, technology and medicine than anything else. Athletic technique, training programs and diets are all being studied to find ways of taking a few more seconds off or adding a few more centimeters to that elusive record. It seems that natural ability and hard work are no longer enough.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
51．__________________.
The search to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )find more efficient way of moving goes on. Analysis of an athlete’s style is particularly useful for events like jumping and throwing. Studies show that long jumpers need to concentrate not on the speed of approach, as once thought, but on the angle their bodies make with the ground as they take off. However, the rules governing each sport limit advances achieved by new styles. For instance only one-footed take-offs are allowed in the high jump.
52．__________________.
In the future, it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) should be possible to develop a more individual approach to training programs. Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help predict the point when training becomes over training, the cause of many injuries. If athletes feed all their information into a database, it may then be possible to predict patterns and to advise them individually when they should cut down.
