His father lost his job five years ago and his mother is often ill. And he has two brothers and a sister. He works hard and tries his best to buy enough food for his family.Last month his family had to move to an old house outside the city. Its farther from the post office and he has to get up early in the morning in order to catch the 6:30 train. The head of his office is strict and everybody has to get there on time. He knows what itll mean if hes late. A friend of his had pity on(同情) him and lent his old car to him. The young man was happy and from then on he could go to work by car.Last Saturday Charlie went to buy some medicine for his mother. Bad luck! When he came out of the shop, he couldnt find the car. He was quite worried and began to look for it in front of the shop but he didnt find it. Suddenly he saw a woman parked a car there and hurried into the shop. Charlie saw the car wasnt locked. He got on it and drove it at once. He was afraid the loser would run after him and drove fast. A truck hit it at a crossing and he lost consciousness(知觉).This morning the young man came back to life and saw there were a few policemen standing by his bed.

The number is said as high as 60% in Germany.“Women often wish that they had the same chance as men have, and believe it is still mens world,” said Dr James Holden, one of the scientists who did the study. Anne Harper has a very good job for an international oil pany. She also believes in “Womens Liberation(解放)”.“I dont wish that I were a man,” she says, “and I dont think many women do. But I do wish that people would stop looking down upon us women. At work, for example, we often do the work that men do but we get less paid. There are still a lot of jobs that are usually the best ones that open only to men. If youre a man, you have a much better chance of leading an exciting life. How many women pilots are there or engineers or scientists?”5. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. There are more Western European women wishing to be born men. B. Women in Western European countries wish to deliver boy-babies. C. 60% women in Germany wish that they were born men. D. 60% Western European women wish that they were born men.6. “it is still mens world.” means “_.” A. Therere more men than women in the world B. Therere more men scientists or engineers in the world C. Women cannot live on themselves without men D. Women have not been given the same chance as men7. Anne Harper considers that women should _. A. be really liberated B. live a better life than men C. be well paid D. get better jobs than men CWhen I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the puter, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology. Point 1 The telephone creates the need to municate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter es home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about? Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue. Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went. Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so nearbut we didnt meet for the first two weeks!” Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several plete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldnt know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while theyre space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the puter, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth. 8. How do you understand “Point 1 The telephone creates the need to municate,”? A. People dont municate without telephone. B. People municate because of the creating of the telephone. C. People municate more since telephone has been created. D. People municate more because of more traffic. 9. Which of the following best shows peoples attitude towards mobile phones? A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency. B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well as little secret to people. C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged. D. Mobile phones are part of peoples life. 10. Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve peoples life? a. Point 1. b. Point2. c. Point3. d. Point 4. e. Point 5. A. c, d B. a, e C. a, c D. b, e 11. It is possible to talk to several plete strangers simultaneously through . A. the TV screen B. a fax machine C. the phone line hooked up to the puter D. a microphone DLast Friday, at least 5 people were killed by lightning in Nepal. Lightning strikes are the second most mon cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 70 people die. That is, more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes. Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters. If you hear the thunder, you are in danger from lightning, said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross. Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any time, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended. The most important thing to remember is to seek shelter, Lopes said. Summer is the peak time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips: Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields. Do not stand under a tree. Get off bicycle and motorcycles. Crouch down (蹲下) if there is no shelter. Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers. 12. In the US, _ is the most mon cause of deaths during natural disasters.A. lightning B. tornadoes C. hurricanes D. floods13. Of the people who are struck by lightning every year in the US, about _ people are lucky enough to survive. A. 400 B. 70 C. 330 D. 5014. If you hear the thunder, the most important thing you should do is to _.A. stand still in the open spaces B. find shelter to hide inC. stand under the tree D. stop working in the fields15. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Floods are the most mon cause of deaths in the US.B. Less than 70 people are killed by tornadoes and hurricanes each year in the US.C. People dont pay as much attention to the danger of hurricanes as that of floods. D. If you hear the thunder, you should move indoors right away.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Linda: Hello, George. 16 George: Hi, Linda.
