Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. “Dad, theres a deer there!” Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deers head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deers head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. “I knew I was in trouble,” Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the womans terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. I was kicking it to get its attention, she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sues injured leg. “Were going to get you to a hospital,” Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deers head and neck, but the blows didnt scare it away. “I was losing faith,” she says. “A couple more strikes, Alexis,” said her father. “You can do it.”Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deers neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the drivers seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. “You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help,” she says, “not to beat up a deer.”24.

A Dangerous Deer Attacked a WomanC. A Girl Rescued Her Father SuccessfullyD. A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer Attack CRobots make me nervousespecially the ones which seem to think for themselves. I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way. Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit: “I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligentThat should be positive if we manage well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern.” Well, maybe I dont have to worry about my puter and kitchen equipment yet. After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future, machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. Theres a terrible thought! Maybe the problem with puters too clever for us is not that they are evil like some weve seen in sci-fi movies. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. Thats what philosopher Nick Bostrom from Oxford University believes. He says that machines are indifferent (漠然) to humans and in pursuit of their own goals，the destruction of people might be just additional damage. Bostrom gives us an example: A machine which might have as its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you. Because it is, well, a machine, it would not take pity on you. Its a good thing that American writer Isaac Asimov thought about how far robots can go and left us his three rules of robotics. They state that a robot may not hurt a human being or allow the human being to e to harm. Im glad my machines at home are “dumb”. All my cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room. Lets hope they dont create an appliance which wants to take over the world!. 28. The author quoted Bill Gates words in Paragraph 2 in order to make the text_. A. better-known B. more persuasive C. better-organized D.more interesting 29. An intelligent paperclip machine would harm us because _. A. it is much cleverer than us B. it would take over the world C. it would see us just as material D. it has the strong feeling of destroying us 30. How does the author feel about Isaac Asimovs rules of robotics? A. Optimistic B. Sympathy C. Disappointed D. Regretful 31. What does the text mainly focus on?A. The benefits of future robots. B. The new applications of robots.C. The concern for super intelligence. D. The popularity of robots in the future. DWhats the most important thing in life?Peoples answers vary greatly. For British scientist Robert Edwards, the answer is having a child. Nothing is more special than a child, he told the BBC.Edwards, the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technology-more monly known as test-tube (试管) baby technology-passed away on April 10, xx at the age of 87.Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child, said Peter Braude, a professor at Kings College London. He leaves the world a much better place.Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s, when he had just finished his PhD in genetics. At that time, much of the public viewed test-tube babies as scary, according to Mark Sauer, a professor at Columbia University, US.Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media, not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists.

Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging (拥向) to Edwards clinic. Nowadays, Reuters reports, some 4.3 million other test-tube children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in xx and was knighted (封为爵士) by Queen Elizabeth n the following year.Before his death, Edwards was still in touch with Louise.

It is normally taken for granted since most people think that soaking (浸泡) the burn with water is the way to go. 36 Once the burn appears, you will surely feel much pain on the actual burned skin. Technically, this is the time to stay calm. 37 Finding a source of running water is remended. However, if there is none, any source will do. If there is running water, simply place the burned area under it and allow it to soak the water for about 5 to 10 minutes. 38 If you have access to ice or a cold cloth, you can use that as well. You can place the ice or cold cloth on the affected area and leave it there about 15 to 30 minutes. The ice will numb the pain and will also stop more injury on the skin.After soaking in water or cooling the area with ice, remove from the water source and allow the moisture to dry naturally. You may also consider patting it down dry with a towel or napkin; however, this could damage the burnt skin even more. 39 As soon as the area dries up pletely, get a bandage or a strip of cloth. 40 This will protect that area from infection caused by outside dirt and dust getting into the open burn.A. It is best to dry it naturally instead.B. Calling a doctor may as well help in most burn cases.C. Wrap it around the burn to cover the open area of skin.D. The truth is that soaking is the last thing to do to deal with mild burn.E. The first thing you will need to do will be to find a clean water source.F. This will relieve some of the pain, cool down the skin, and stop additional burning.G. The thing is that treating a mild burn goes deeper than just soaking the affected part in water.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45）第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） In our modern world, when something wears out, we throw it away and buy a new one.
