阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
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.
Ms 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. Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital 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 (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report. He said Ms 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.
41. This passage is most likely to be found in _____.
A. a travel guide B. a newspaper
C. a textbook D. a novel
42. The crocodile attacked Ms Pethrick when she was ______.
A. swimming in the river B. standing on the river bank
C. watching the crocodile D. fishing in the water
43. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Ms 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.
44. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. The husband should save the wife
B. A man saves wife’s life from crocodile’s jaws
C. A crocodile is not so dangerous as people imagine
D. Human beings can beat crocodiles sometimes
B
Two University of Oklahoma scientists are starting research that they hope will someday lead to the development of a vaccine (疫苗) to fight against the HIV virus, which causes AIDS.
The research, to be carried out by Mark Lang, an assistant professor and microbiologist John West, will examine the basic aspects of the immune (免疫) system, rather than the complex aspects of the virus.
They theorize that if a key fun_ction of the body’s immune system can be found exactly, it could be the first step toward developing a vaccine.
“ To develop a new vaccine, we realized we first have to study and understand the immune system,” Lang said. Lang said their work will focus on researching the basic antibody responses from Natural Killer－like T-cells. A
45．The research to be carried out will focus on _______.
A. the immune system B. the test performed on mice
C. NKT cells D. the HIV virus
46．We can infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 that __________.
A. other researchers need to help them B. the research seems to be a failure
C. further research needs to be done D. the vaccine can kill all viruses
47． Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Lang works at the National Institutes of Health.
B. The research will last one and a half years.
C. The vaccine is ready for use.
D. The AIDS virus may cause HIV.
48．What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Two researchers begin to study the immune system
B. NKT cells have been a part of research into cancer
C. The relationship between the immune system and HIV
D. Two scientists work to develop HIV vaccine
C
History is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery. A striking example is provided by Dr. Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist (药理学家) and winner of a Nobel Prize. Loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脉搏). A tremendous breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row. The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on paper. But the next morning, he couldn’t tell what the notes meant. On the third night, he got up after having the dream. This time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the important experiment. Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.
Loewi’s experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions. Nervous feelings are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view.
Being able to take advantage of dreams for solving is improved if you “set” yourself before retiring. Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve. Bury yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information. Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams. Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure. About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem.
49． The main idea of this passage is that _________.
A. very little is really known about the meaning of dreams
B. it is possible to “catch” one’s dreams by planning before going to sleep
C. dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to one’s problems
D. Loewi’s experiment helped in the study of transmission of nerve impulses
50．The first paragraph is mainly organized by _________.
A. classifying types of experiments
B. summarizing the work of one researcher
C. comparing and exploring historical cases
D. telling in time order about one man’s research
51． If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have _________.
A. asked someone else to do it B. thought it was a bad idea
C. tried it out on his own D. thought it was a wise idea
52． The author probably thinks that _________.
A. nervous feelings may stop someone thinking of useful ideas
B. dreaming is of very little value to most people
C. Loewi should not have conducted his experiment
D. college students should not try out dream experiments
D
54．Which of the following statements is true?
A. Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers
B. Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.
C. Both computers and robots have been in use on today’s farms.
D. Students at agricultural colleges needn’t take their normal agricultural courses.
55．What is the best title for the whole passage?
A. Computer, Farmers’ Best Friend
B. Farmers in The Future
C. The Agricultural Revolution
D. Computers and Robots

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。选项中有多余选项。
It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world. 56
　　“Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job which they are not suitable for. 57 Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university.
　　First, it is important to realize what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you are interested in. 58 If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog, that is a skill.
　　Then ask yourself this question: in the following three areas ― skills with people, skills with information and skills with things ― which are your best skills?
　　After examining your skills, the next step is research. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers. 59
　　Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! 60
A. It is your own life, so find something that you enjoy doing.
B. Choosing the right one itself is a difficult job.
C. We must know what our ideal jobs are.
D. There is a difference between an interest and a skill.
E. Ask your friends about the work they do.
F. “Chance” may play a more important part than “decision”.
G. Your parents may also give you some useful advice.
