A
GRANDMOTHER, Michelle Riotton, a 78 old, survived after falling down a mountain valley. She set off for a walk alone dressed only in a light jacket and trousers. "I slipped into a valley!" said Mrs. Riotton, who said the fall happened in a deep forest close to her home village.
It was warm and sunny when the accident happened, but temperatures dropped to very low when night fell, and it rained. "I wasn’t afraid," said Mrs Riotton. "But I was worried that my children and grandchildren would become too worried about me." Mrs Riotton said she covered herself in leaves when feeling cold, taking very small bites of two biscuits which she had in her pocket and drinking rainwater which fell down her face.
She spent six nights before she was found on Saturday. She was lying at the bottom of the valley, which was less than a mile from her home. The search had once been stopped, but Patrice Fossard, one of her neighbors, insisted that the search continue. "There was no way we could give up her, even if deep inside we felt we had little hope of finding her alive," said Mr Fossard. "It was a miracle that Michele was finally found."
Mrs Riotton said she would be taking life easier from now on. "Enough is enough!" she said. "No more forests--I don’t want to visit one again."
A mountain policeman said walking alone in the mountain was not recommended and that Mrs Riotton should have carried a mobile phone with her. "The mountains are particularly dangerous at this time of year as sunny afternoons can quickly change into cold, wet and stormy evenings," he said. "Anybody walking into the mountains should carry safety equipment and be prepared for any kind of emergency."
1. When Michelle Riotton was in the valley, she _________.
A. was hurt too badly to move B. missed her home very much
C. felt very hungry D. didn’t feel afraid
2. Michelle Riotton covered herself with leaves to __________.
A. prevent the harmful animals B. keep warm during her suffering
C. make herself noticed by others D. avoid getting wet in the rain
3. Michelle Riotton got lost on _________.
A. Saturday B. Sunday C. Wednesday D. Monday
4. According to the mountain policeman, _________.
A. one had better not walk in the mountains alone
B. the mountains in the morning are very dangerous
C. people should carry safety equipment every day
D. people wouldn’t be safe without a mobile phone
B
Clean water is not only important for food production, but necessary for our life. However, large numbers of people in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa are going without. The World Health Organization reports that almost 4,000 children die each day for dirty water or lack (缺少) of water.
Agriculture is the primary user of water at 70–85% of fresh water in the world. Industrial uses of water don’t often come to mind, but you may be surprised to know that industry uses 59% of the water supply in developed countries.
8
Home use takes up only 8% in the world. But as cities grow, the local government has to cut down on water use. Many cities are turning to privatization (私有化) of water as a method of controlling use. The poor are paying as much as a quarter of their monthly income for water in some developing countries.
In 60% of large European cities, groundwater is being used at a faster rate. People are saving water by simply using less and being careful with what they do use. Sometimes it’s as simple as not throwing out water that they could use elsewhere.
In Australia overuse of water has always been a problem. The Australian government has encouraged households and industries to collect rainwater and reuse water from showers. Technology is helping householders for shower and bath water for reuse in toilets or gardens.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has made a water saving program designed to encourage families and businesses to examine their water use and save more water. Good water management has been considered by scientists and the UN as the key to solving the water problem. We can all work together to protect our valuable water in our daily life.
5. In developed countries, most water is used by ______.
A. industry B. agriculture C. families D. businesses
6 To save water, what do Australians and Europeans both choose to do?
A. Find more groundwater.
B. Make good use of rainwater.
C. Encourage people to have fewer showers
D. Recycle water for a second use.
7. According to scientists, to deal with water shortage, the most important is to ______.
A. have good control over water use
B. cut down on water use at home
C. popularize privatization of water
D. introduce water-saving technologies
8. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Water—the source of all lives
B. Water and people’s health
C. New ways to save water
D. Save water, save the world
C
Are you having difficulty falling asleep? Try drinking a glass of warm milk. If that doesn’t work, listen to some soft, beautiful music. Still no luck? Try think about sheep jumping over a fence. If you are still awake, take a sleeping pill. People who take pills often become dependent on the drugs. So you lie awake knowing that the new workday will soon arrive. If you have been in such condition for at least one month, you may have primary insomnia(失眠症).
A new study has found that you might fall asleep more quickly and stay asleep longer if you try “cerebral hypothermia.” It is not a complex medical process. It just means cooling down your brain. Eric Nofzinger and Naniel Buysse from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School led the study. They examined twelve people who had sleeping problems. Twelve others had no sleeping problems. Each of them wore a soft plastic cap on their head at bedtime.
The caps had tubes inside filled with water. The researchers moved the water through the tubes and then changed the temperature of the water. Other studies showed that people who had sleeping problems often had more chemical reactions in the front of their brain. The researchers thought cooling down the brain might help.
On the first two nights of testing, the patients wore caps with no water. On the next two nights, the caps were worn, but the water was not cooled. Then the researchers cooled the water a little for another two nights. On the final two nights of the study, the temperature of the water was made much cooler. The researchers found that the water caps didn’ t help the patients
8
until the temperature was about 14℃. Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water was moving around their head.
Dr Nfzinger and Dr. Buysse noted that this was only the beginning of the brain temperature study. But they believed they had discovered something important that needed more research.
9. The first paragraph is written to _________.
A. put forward the topic of the passage. B. explain how serious insomnia is
C. tell us the causes of sleeping problems. D. tell us the danger of having sleeping problems.
10. From the passage we know that “cerebral hypothermia” is actually _________.
A. a complex medical process. B. a psychological treatment.
C. a difficult scientific theory. D. a simple physical treatment.
11. In the study, researchers helped people fall asleep faster through _________.
A. increasing chemical reactions in the front of their brain.
B. making them feel safe with a cap on their head
C. lowering the temperature of their brain
D. asking them to drink water to cool down
12. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The cause of the study. B. The function of the caps.
C. People’s reactions to the study. D. Some details of the study.
D
Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that were also enjoyed by the inhabitants (居民) of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants will become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. It is important to think about the people of a destination (目的地) country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country`s economy will suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people will lose jobs. Businesses will also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, broad roads, and other things needed by places of interest. For example, a five star tourism hotel needs as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities (设施) as well, If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
13. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the part that goes before this passage?
A. Planning is very important to tourism. B. Building roads and hotels is necessary.
C. Support facilities are highly important. D. It is very important to develop tourism.
14. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ____.
A. a bad effect on other industries B. pressure (压力) on traffic
C. over-crowdedness of places of interest D. a change of tourists customs
15.Not enough tourism can lead to ____.
A. happiness of the inhabitants B. an increase of unemployment (失业)
C. the lower cost of support facilities D. a rise in price and a fall in pay

Habits Of Highly Successful Students
Never Over-Study
When you spend too much time studying you will quickly lose focus and the time spent in studying will become ‘junk time’. You think you're studying but you're just sitting there re-reading the same sentence about 100 times and you're not getting anywhere. Instead, take regular breaks. 71 Besides, it will give your mind some time to take in what you have been doing.
72
Top students don't just randomly sit down and complete work. They actually plan what they are going to do: They actually plan the time they will study and they set goals for what will be achieved. If you want to be successful, do as successful people do. Set a plan and, set a goal and stick to it, which will create a routine and a routine is the first step towards developing a habit. 73
Front Up To The Toughest Work First
Many of us like to do the easy things first to build our confidence. That’s fair enough. The only challenge with this approach is that you use up your primary energy at the start of any study period and so if you are dealing with the easy parts with your primary energy your batteries will be low when it comes the time to deal with the hard part. So what happens then? 74 We all do it. We really shouldn't, though. So develop the habit of giving your primary energy to the hard tasks and completing the easy stuff last.
75
Do we really have to explain this? Just turn them off for an hour, we promise the world will still be there when you log back in! Don't text your friends, don't chat while doing memory activities，don't make phone calls, just focus on what you're doing. Even if you focus on work' for 15 minutes followed by 5 mins of chatting, it’s better than 30 minutes of work while also chatting! You get that right?
A. Taking breaks can make you get everywhere.
B. You get tired and impatient and just give up.
C. Positive habits decide future success.
D. Plan Your Study
E. Taking breaks will make you energetic again and refresh your mind.
F. Get Off Social Networking Sites And Turn Off The Phone
G. Achieve Your Goal
