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 ★★☆☆☆
Texting while driving can be serious. Adding to the peril: texting and driving while asleep at the wheel. A woman in New Zealand managed to drive and even send her friends text messages for hours while asleep, according to a story in the New Zealand Herald. Surprisingly, she did not get into an accident.
According to News 3 New Zealand, the woman, who suffers from a sleep condition and was taking sleeping pills at the time, drove around New Zealand all night. The sleep-driver left her house in Hamilton, headed to Auckland and then to her former home in Mount Maunganui on the coast late on Tuesday night, driving for a total of five hours and about 190 miles. As she sleep-drove, she texted her friends, who believed she sent them while half asleep, says New Zealand’s News 3.
Police say that although the woman was texting during her drive, she was unaware the entire time and has no memory of the nighttime ride. The police began tracking the woman’s movement through her cellphone after receiving a call from a concerned friend, but weren’t able to find her as she kept driving. “While all this was going on, we were scanning any reports of unusual or concerning driving as we tried to find the Toyota and prevent a possible tragedy (悲剧),” police officer Dave Litton was quoted in the Daily Mail.
Police said that the woman’s cousin finally found her in her former house on the coast, asleep. “While her being found safe and well is a relief for everyone involved, the possibility for tragedy was huge and we’re urging people suffering medical conditions to be open and honest with their doctors and seek advice,” Litton told the New Zealand Herald.

April 18 is celebrated as the World Heritage Day across the world. It is aimed at creating awareness about heritage sites and highlighting the need to protect and conserve them.
UNESCO lists 29 sites from India in its heritage list which are considered as having outstanding universal value. Travel.india.com lists four of world heritage sites which should be visited at least once in a lifetime.
Taj Mahal, UP
It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It also figures among the Seven Wonders of the World. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage”. As one of the most wonderful buildings, it attracts a large number of visitors every year.
Kaziranga National Park, Assam
It was started in 1905 at the orders of British Viceroy Lord Curzon following a request from his wife. As a famous biodiversity (生物多样性) site, the wildlife park is famous for its one-horned rhino(犀牛) population.
Fatehpur Sikri, UP
Founded in 1569, the city served as the Mughal capital. The city is the manifestation (证明) of Mughal Emperor Akbar’s dream to build a great capital for his empire. The Great Mughal’s great city was abandoned just 16 years after it was built due to the serious shortage of water. Today, the city is mostly a ghost town.
Elephanta Caves, Maharashtra
As one of the finest examples of rock-cut cave temples of India, the caves have been carved(雕刻) out of single solid rock. The caves are filled with beautiful stone carvings of Hindu gods and goddesses.

C ★★★☆☆
Walter Reed was born in 1851 in Belroi, Virginia. After studying medicine, he joined the Army Medical Corps in 1874 and had a very successful career for the next 25 years. Then he was given a very special job.
Doctors had long been concerned about yellow fever, which injured the liver (肝脏) and made the skin turn yellowish. It was said that yellow fever spread from person to person, but doctors weren’t sure about it. During the Spanish-American War, the U.S. Army became concerned about yellow fever because many American soldiers who went to Cuba contracted it and became ill. In 1900 after the war, the Surgeon General put Walter Reed in charge of a team that went to Cuba to study yellow fever and other diseases.
Three other doctors were on Reed’s team. The team quickly saw that nurses took care of patients with yellow fever and did not get sick. Therefore, they knew that yellow fever was not spread by touching sick people or their clothing. Dr. Carlos Finlay of Havana, Cuba, believed that mosquitoes(蚊子) carried yellow fever. The team decided to check his idea.
The only sure way to check this idea was to have a mosquito bite a person with yellow fever, and then have the same mosquito bite a healthy person. If the healthy person became ill with yellow fever, the team would know that the illness had been carried by the mosquito. Two doctors and a soldier bravely volunteered to be bitten by yellow-fever mosquitoes. The soldier suffered a mild case. At first the two doctors did not get sick, but then they both became very ill. After very careful experiments on other volunteers, the team proved that mosquitoes carried yellow fever from person to person.
In 1901, based on Reed’s work, doctors realized that by cleaning out the places where the mosquitoes laid their eggs they could almost completely get rid of yellow fever. A vaccine (疫苗) that protects people from yellow fever was discovered in 1951. It is still used today.
When the Army built a huge medical center in Washington, DC, they named it after Walter Reed. They wanted people to have a way to remember the work done by Reed and others, especially the courageous volunteers who risked their lives, to conquer(征服) yellow fever.
38. Reed’s job was special mainly because _____.
A. he was a doctor in the army
B. he would work with foreigners
C. he needed to study yellow fever
D. he had to do research in wartime
39. The fourth paragraph is mainly about _____.
A. why Reed was asked to do the work
B. how Reed’s team did the experiments
C. how the U.S. Army honored Walter Reed
D. why the U.S. Army was concerned about yellow fever
40. We can learn from the text that finally _____.
A. Reed built a huge medical center
B. Reed stayed in Cuba after the work
C. doctors found ways to prevent yellow fever
D. the volunteer doctors lost their lives in the experiments
41. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The Spanish-American War
B. Say goodbye to yellow fever
C. Walter Reed and yellow fever
D. Medical achievements in the 19th century
D ★★★★☆
Shakespeare once called the English countryside “the precious stone set in the silver sea”— and he is not the last to sing high praises of its beauty and historical charm.
The countryside is particularly beautiful during the summer, especially in August and September. As one travels the countryside, you’ll find more of its treasures: so many plants and animals, romantic castles (城堡), secret gardens, and villages so unchanged in the last decades that they seem to have been caught under a fairy’s spell.
Must-sees include Derbyshire, called “the heart of England” and home to the National Park. The great peaks were the muse (创作灵感) of the Bronte sisters (and if you love the book Jane Eyre, you can visit North Lees hall, where the real Eyre family once lived).
History lovers will enjoy a visit to Lincoln city (its most famous son is Lord Alfred Tennyson). It is also known for its cathedral, the charming tea shops, a small castle. One would never guess its violent past — built by the Romans, it was once a center for arrow making.
Harry Potter fans shouldn’t miss a visit to Alnwick, which is better recognized as the “Hogswarth” in the movies.
Let’s not leave out the Wessex region, where one can see one of England’s greatest mysteries, Stone Henge. You can also go to the City of Bath, which has been famous for its medicines springs since the Roman times. Other popular attractions include Salisbury Cathedral, the landscaped gardens of Stourhead, and the cobbled streets of Shaftesbury. This is also home to Oxford, one of the world’s most famous universities.
Art lovers will also like a visit to East Anglia, whose landscapes inspired the painter Constable (he was born in Dedham village). This is also home of the University City of Cambridge, and the famous architectural attraction, King’s College Chapel. Be sure to visit the aircraft museum of Duxford.
42. What was Shakespeare’s attitude towards the English countryside?
A. Uninterested.?????????? ? B. Dissatisfied. ???????????
C. Surprised.?? ?????????? D. Admiring.
43. According to the text, Lincoln city _____.
A. produced arrows in the past
B. will be enjoyed by music lovers
C. was the place where the Eyre family once lived
D. has one of the world’s most famous universities
44. When traveling the countryside, Harry Potter fans are advised to visit _____.
A. the Wessex region ?? B. Derbyshire???????? C. Yorkshire ??????????????? D. Alnwick
45. The text is most probably taken from _____.
A. a travel guide??? B. a book review????????
C. a history paper??? ?? D. a newspaper report

Are you feeling anxious about your test next week? Here are some tips that will help you in dealing with stress and anxiety.
Study regularly
One of the most important ways of avoiding test anxiety is to prepare well in advance. Study regularly for a few hours every day. ?46 ?
Reduce study pressure
If students are not able to deal with anxiety or nervousness, they could talk to their teachers, student counselors (辅导员), parents or friends. Parents should also avoid pressurizing their kids to do well. ?47 ?Then your children can study without any tension (紧张). Another important point that arises here is neither the students nor the parents should compare the children with their other classmates and friends.
Physical fitness
?48 ?Many times due to anxiety students avoid sleep and starve themselves. They should sleep for at least 6-7 hours a day and eat nutritious(有营养的) and healthy food. Exercising regularly is equally important as talking to friends and socializing (社交).
?49?
Plan your studies well. Chart out a timetable and take proper breaks between studying. Along with the study time, allot (分配) time to relax and do what you love to do. Practicing simple breathing techniques will also help reduce stress.
?50 ?While it is important to gain good scores in tests, it is not the most important thing in life. Learning to deal with nervousness and stress will not only help them to do well in school tests, but also in their future life.
A. Prepare schedule
B. Listen carefully in class
C. Do not forget to eat and sleep properly.
D. It helps in increasing the confidence of students.
E. Create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere at home.
F. Students should remember that tests are just a part of life.
G. Test and exam time causes a lot of nervousness in students.

Walter Reed was born in 1851 in Belroi, Virginia. After studying medicine, he joined the Army Medical Corps in 1874 and had a very successful career for the next 25 years. Then he was given a very special job.
Doctors had long been concerned about yellow fever, which injured the liver (肝脏) and made the skin turn yellowish. It was said that yellow fever spread from person to person, but doctors weren’t sure about it. During the Spanish-American War, the U.S. Army became concerned about yellow fever because many American soldiers who went to Cuba contracted it and became ill. In 1900 after the war, the Surgeon General put Walter Reed in charge of a team that went to Cuba to study yellow fever and other diseases.
Three other doctors were on Reed’s team. The team quickly saw that nurses took care of patients with yellow fever and did not get sick. Therefore, they knew that yellow fever was not spread by touching sick people or their clothing. Dr. Carlos Finlay of Havana, Cuba, believed that mosquitoes(蚊子) carried yellow fever. The team decided to check his idea.
The only sure way to check this idea was to have a mosquito bite a person with yellow fever, and then have the same mosquito bite a healthy person. If the healthy person became ill with yellow fever, the team would know that the illness had been carried by the mosquito. Two doctors and a soldier bravely volunteered to be bitten by yellow-fever mosquitoes. The soldier suffered a mild case. At first the two doctors did not get sick, but then they both became very ill. After very careful experiments on other volunteers, the team proved that mosquitoes carried yellow fever from person to person.
In 1901, based on Reed’s work, doctors realized that by cleaning out the places where the mosquitoes laid their eggs they could almost completely get rid of yellow fever. A vaccine (疫苗) that protects people from yellow fever was discovered in 1951. It is still used today.
When the Army built a huge medical center in Washington, DC, they named it after Walter Reed. They wanted people to have a way to remember the work done by Reed and others, especially the courageous volunteers who risked their lives, to conquer(征服) yellow fever.
38. Reed’s job was special mainly because _____.
A. he was a doctor in the army
B. he would work with foreigners
C. he needed to study yellow fever
D. he had to do research in wartime
39. The fourth paragraph is mainly about _____.
A. why Reed was asked to do the work
B. how Reed’s team did the experiments
C. how the U.S. Army honored Walter Reed
D. why the U.S. Army was concerned about yellow fever
40. We can learn from the text that finally _____.
A. Reed built a huge medical center
B. Reed stayed in Cuba after the work
C. doctors found ways to prevent yellow fever
D. the volunteer doctors lost their lives in the experiments
41. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The Spanish-American War
B. Say goodbye to yellow fever
C. Walter Reed and yellow fever
D. Medical achievements in the 19th century

Shakespeare once called the English countryside “the precious stone set in the silver sea”— and he is not the last to sing high praises of its beauty and historical charm.
The countryside is particularly beautiful during the summer, especially in August and September. As one travels the countryside, you’ll find more of its treasures: so many plants and animals, romantic castles (城堡), secret gardens, and villages so unchanged in the last decades that they seem to have been caught under a fairy’s spell.
Must-sees include Derbyshire, called “the heart of England” and home to the National Park. The great peaks were the muse (创作灵感) of the Bronte sisters (and if you love the book Jane Eyre, you can visit North Lees hall, where the real Eyre family once lived).
History lovers will enjoy a visit to Lincoln city (its most famous son is Lord Alfred Tennyson). It is also known for its cathedral, the charming tea shops, a small castle. One would never guess its violent past — built by the Romans, it was once a center for arrow making.
Harry Potter fans shouldn’t miss a visit to Alnwick, which is better recognized as the “Hogswarth” in the movies.
Let’s not leave out the Wessex region, where one can see one of England’s greatest mysteries, Stone Henge. You can also go to the City of Bath, which has been famous for its medicines springs since the Roman times. Other popular attractions include Salisbury Cathedral, the landscaped gardens of Stourhead, and the cobbled streets of Shaftesbury. This is also home to Oxford, one of the world’s most famous universities.
Art lovers will also like a visit to East Anglia, whose landscapes inspired the painter Constable (he was born in Dedham village). This is also home of the University City of Cambridge, and the famous architectural attraction, King’s College Chapel. Be sure to visit the aircraft museum of Duxford.
42. What was Shakespeare’s attitude towards the English countryside?
A. Uninterested.?????????? ? B. Dissatisfied. ???????????
C. Surprised.?? ?????????? D. Admiring.
43. According to the text, Lincoln city _____.
