Mr. Johnson took the only escape route - through the boot(行李箱). Mr. Johnsons car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. Fortunately, the water began to e in only slowly, Mr. Johnson said. I couldnt force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would e flooding in. Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape. Later he said, It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came. It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up. His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmers wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Trembling in a blanket, he said, That thirty minutes seemed like hours. Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.21. What is the best title for this newspaper article? A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, a Sweet Salesman B. Car Boot Can Serve as the Best Escape Route C. Driver Escapes through Car Boot D. The Driver Survived a Terrible Car Accident22. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 “Finally it gave” means that _. A. luckily the door was torn away in the end B. at last the wrench went broken C. the lock came open after all his efforts D. the chance was lost at the last minute23. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. the ditch was along a quiet country road B. the accident happened on a clear warm day C. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditch D. Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attendedB Its easy to think of the selfless reasons to listen. People want you to listen to them. By listening, you can help someone with a problem, or help them e up with new ideas. But listening also has selfish benefits that make it worth the investment. The biggest selfish benefit is that you learn more with your mouth closed. Youll learn more about other people, and often, about yourself, if you stop talking. Those ideas are useful if you want to improve yourself. Listening also helps you think. When youre truly listening, not just waiting for your turn to speak, you can chew over your ideas more. You can mull on points of the conversation longer. In the end, youll appear a lot wiser if you explain a fully-digested point of view, than if you just speak out the first response that es to mind. Building the listening habit also makes better friends than trying to be an impressive conversationalist. People like the guy who listens more than the guy with the best jokes. Be interested, rather than interesting. If the person youre talking with doesnt feel too chatty, bait (启发) them with a ment. Throw something at them which will make it easy for them to talk. A better strategy to listen is to master the short anecdote. This is a 2-3 sentence ment on something that the other person has said. If they are telling a long explanation of their work as an accountant, you could ment on someone you know that does accounting or something you know about accounting.24. The following are talked about EXCEPT _. A. the ways of being a good listener B. the benefits of building the listening habit C. the ways of being a good speaker D. the strategies to inspire others to speak25. According to the passage, which kind of person is most probably popular with people? A. The one who is good at telling jokes. B. The one who has no speaking ability. C. The one who is good at public speaking. D. The one who is good at listening to others.26. The underlined phrase “mull on” in the third paragraph means _. A. think over B. agree with C. disagree with D. put forward CNew Yorks long awaited bike share program, which arranged the distribution of 10,000 bicycles along some of the citys busiest street, will be sponsored by Citi financial group, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced on Monday. Citi Bike will be the largest public bike share system in the US, with bikes placed in 600 stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The program will be operated by Alta bicycle share, which runs similar projects in Washington D.C. and Boston. “The idea behind bike share is simple: give people one more way to get around the town,” Bloomberg said in a restaurant. “The new Citi Bikes will be an affordable transportation network that will help New Yorkers get where theyre going faster. When the walk seems a little far, New Yorkers can choose to skip the hike, and take a bike.”The program was announced in September xx, and the department of transport has spent the last eight months planning locations for the stations. Full details on the locations have not been released yet, but they will include Times Square, Penn Station and close to Central Park. Annual membership of the program will cost $95, which entitles (授权) users to free journeys up to 45 minutes. For those unwilling to mit to a years cycling, seven-day subscriptions are available for $25 or 24-hour access for $9.95, with the first 30 minutes of any journey free. The official website for the program citibikenyc. says the pricing strategy is likely to ensure that riders keep their trips short. Although short journeys are free, anyone wanting to take a bike for the day will face very high charges. People who do not sign up to an annual membership tourists, for example, would pay $49 for a three-hour ride, plus the $9.95 24-hour access fee, making a total of $59. The department of transport said the bikes and stations, which will begin to be fixed from “late July”, will be the same as in London, Montreal and Minneapolis; however, in one sense Bloomberg will be hoping the New York program differs from that of London. While the London program has ended up losing money since it launched in xx, the mayor said New York City would “split system profits with the operator”, creating a potential new ine program. 27. According to the passage, the main purpose of setting up New Yorks bike share system is to _. A. make profits from the bike users B. discourage people from going hiking C. reduce peoples expenses on transportation D. help people travel around the city more easily28. According to the passage, which of the following locations is NOT available for the Citi Bike service? A. Central Park B. Time Square C. Brooklyn Botanic Garden D. Penn Station29. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?A. It is wise of people to use the bikes for short trips. B. Anyone can use the bike free of charge for 45 minutes. C. Most people are unwilling to pay for the annual membership. D. Tourists are charged more for the use of bikes than local people. 30. In what sense does Bloomberg hope the New York program differs from that of London?A. Better accepted. B. Better operated. C. More profitable. D. More widespread.DI came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.

Its time that you all should admit that you need help in organizing your life. Here are some tips that will help you. Write everything down and dont rely on your memory. 36 If you want to remember things, put them in writing, or in a digital notebook. Keeping your to-do lists and other information written somewhere allows you to look back at them anytime, even when youve hit your head and forgotten your own name. 37 Try this experiment: before buying one thing, throw out something old or something you dont use any more. Or, if youre a really terrible pack rat, just throw out one old thing a day until you cant find any more items to throw. Recycle and donate. Is your closet full of unopened bags and clothes that still have their tags on them? Is your bookshelf full of unread books? Chances are that if you havent read, worn, or used them, then youre probably not going to use them at all. 38 Create daily, weekly and monthly timetables for cleaning. Organize your cleaning timetables. 39 Distribute tasks evenly, for example, dish washing could be done daily while vacuuming could be done weekly and cleaning windows done monthly. Whichever of these tasks you decide to do, remember that you cant pletely organize your life in one go. 40 Just decide to organize now, and then take baby steps. Soon enough, you will be making a habit of it. A. Practice putting things away immediately. B. Throw one thing before buying something. C. Its a long and never-ending process, so be patient. D. Give them to a charity or sell them on the Internet. E. Its extremely exhausting to clean everything all at once. F. To keep up with tasks, you need to work with your family. G. We all agree most of us have a tough time remembering things.第三部分：语言运用第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。The Depression was still going on, but I was in good spirits.
