Jenny was driving her six-year-old son, Tony, to his piano lesson. They were late, and Jenny was beginning to think she should have given it up. There was always so much to do, and Jenny recently helped with an operation. She was tired. The storm and ice roads added to her tension. Maybe she should turn the car around.
“Mom!”Tony cried. “Look!”Just ahead a car had lost control on the patch of ice. As Jenny tapped the brakes, the other car wildly rolled over; then crashed sideways into a telephone pole.
Jenny pulled over, stopped and threw open her door. Thank goodness she knew her job well—she might be able to help these unfortunate passengers. Then she paused. What about Tony? She couldn’t take him with her. Little boys shouldn’t see scenes like that. But was it safe to leave him alone? What if their car were hit from behind? For a brief moment Jenny considered going on her way.
She asked Tony to stay in the car and ran, slipping and sliding, toward the crash site. It was worse than she’s feared. Two girls of high school age in the car. One was killed. The driver, however, was still breathing. Jenny quickly applied pressure to the wound in the teenager’s head while her practiced eye checked the other injuries. A broken leg, maybe two, along with probable internal bleeding. But if help came soon, the girl would live.
A trucker had pulled up and was calling for help on his cellphone. Soon ambulance and rescue workers came. “Good job,” one said while examining the wounds. “You probably saved her life!”Later the families of the victims came to meet Jenny, expressing their gratitude for the help she had offered.
41. What was Jenny doing when the accident happened?
A. She was helping with an operation.
B. She was driving for her son’s lesson.
C. She was driving home with her son.
D. She was making a telephone for help.

A. A taxi-driver. B. A firefighter. C. A nurse. D. A teacher.
43. The car accident was caused by ______ .
A. the tiredness of the driver
B. the truck who was telephoning while driving
C. the students’ careless driving
D. the bad weather and terrible road conditions
44. Before going to rescue the wounded, Jenny worried a lot about ______.

B. her little son’s safety in the car
C. her little son’s piano lesson
D. the students killed in the accident
45. We can infer from the passage that ______.

B. there were at least two deaths in the car accident
C. Jenny was to blame for the terrible car accident
D. Jenny was late for his piano lessons for this accident

Tiny as they are, bats have the ability to “see” in the dark by using a special skill called echolocation (回声定位法). They make noises and wait for sound waves, or an echo, to bounce (反弹) back off objects. They can tell the distance of various objects by how quickly the sound waves bounce back off them. If no sound bounces back, they can then fly forward.
This special ability has been simulated in the human world for a long time, such as in submarines and planes, whose sonar (声呐) systems are somewhat similar to echolocation. But apart from helping vehicles “see” where they are, what if blind people could use echolocation for themselves? It turns out, some already are.
American Daniel Kish, who is blind, is known as “Batman”. This isn’t because he walks around in a cape (披风) and a mask, but because he has a bat-like ability to locate where he is through sharp clicks he makes by moving his tongue against the roof of his mouth. Kish is so skilled at echolocating that he can ride a bike and hike on his own.
Recently, research carried out at the University of Durham in England shed (揭示)some light on the power of human echolocation.
Kish worked with a group of scientists who studied the way blind people listen to the echoes that they produce from clicks.
The team, which conducted experiments with other volunteers, found that people were capable of hearing even very faint echoes, ones far fainter than had been previously thought.
Speaking to The Independent, Lore Thaler, lead scientist of the group, said, “We found that in some conditions, they were really faint — about 95 percent softer than the actual clicks, but the echolocators were still able to sense this.”
Andrew Kolarik of the University of Cambridge is another expert in echolocation. Reacting to the Durham study, he told BBC News that echolocation “can be very useful at providing information at face or chest height” and could help people “avoid objects like low hanging branches that might
not get detected by the cane (盲杖) or a guide dog”.
Although Kish’s skill is remarkable, there’s hope for other blind people who want to use echolocation. According to BBC News, echolocation is a skill blind people can acquire and develop, just like learning a language. As Kolarik said: “Teaching echolocation skills could provide blind people with the means of exploring new places.”
46. The underlined word “simulated” in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A. copied B. discovered C. improved D. challenged
47. How does Kish locate where he is?
A. By using his great sense of hearing
B. By listening to the echoes produced by his cane.
C. Via the sonar system attached to his body.
D. Via the echoes from the clicks he makes with his tongue.
48. What did Lore Thaler’s team find from their studies?
A. It is hard for echolocators to sense faint echoes.
B. Humans can echolocate better than we thought we could.
C. Echolocators can pick up all types of echoes.
D. Blind people are better echolocators than those who can see.
49. According to the article, teaching echolocation to blind people _______.
A. is not easy to put into practice
B. will enable them to get rid of their cane
C. will open up new possibilities for them
D. will improve their ability to learn a new language
50. What is the article mainly about?
A. Different types of human echolocation.
B. The importance of human echolocation.
C. Studies on blind people using echolocation.
D. Why bats’ echolocation could be used by humans.
D
As we all know, the war is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always evil and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern skill has changed this. Either man will stop war, or war will stop man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger, but bacteriological(细菌学的) or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? If we succeeded in stopping war, there would be no danger for us. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not by contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre(大屠杀), but by arbitration(仲裁) in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology(意识形态) would prevent war.
I believe this to be a complete error. All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are, at least, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Those people who believe them are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past two years has changed very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course, very difficult problems remain in the international world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West, but between Man and the Hi-tech bomb.
51. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. We may face greater threat from weapons.
B. Nuclear weapons are worst of all.
C. Man’s idea of victory has changed.
D. Dangerous weapons are forbidden nowadays.
52. The author of the passage believe that______.
A. it is impossible to live without war
B. differences between East and West will lead to war
C. war will be stopped by modern skill
D. war must be stopped if man wants to survive
53. Which is the only way to stop war according to the author?
A. To stop nuclear weapons.
B. To settle international issues through agreements.
C. To destroy bacteriological and chemical weapons.
D. To let the stronger side take over the world.
54. We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.
A. nuclear war will definitely not take place
B. real agreements have been reached now
C. world opinion is still divided on nuclear war
D. man is beginning to realize that nuclear war is the greatest enemy
55. What does the author feel while writing this passage?
A. Hopeful.
B. Doubtful.
C. Worried.
D. Disappointed.

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
“Where are you going to college?” “I’m going to my local community college.” My answer seemed to be the magic phrase that would wipe the smile right off many people’s faces. It’s clear that people have a lot of misconceptions(误解) about community colleges.
Many people think community colleges are only for people who couldn’t get into a four-year school. But it is not true. In high school, I always got A’s. But when it came to applying to colleges, I had no idea what I wanted to major in and couldn’t justify spending thousands of dollars at a 4-year school until I knew what I wanted to do. My parents were very supportive of my decision to attend the community college.
Some people will ask, “Since the community college is cheaper, will you get a good education?” I found that nearly all of my professors taught the same courses at 4-year colleges. My professors were knowledgeable and experienced, and I found many of the courses challenging.
Some people think if I attend the community college, I will miss out on the “college experience”. I must admit that this is something I worried about a great deal the summer before college. But I soon learned that the community college, just like any other college, is what you make of it. I strived to make the most of my time at the community college. I also made tons of friends by joining clubs and attending student government meetings.
I took a lot of different courses. I had an amazing professor who suggested I take her journalism class. Never having written for my high school newspapers, I dared not take it, but since she was so enthusiastic, I eventually decided to have a try. That one course was all it took for me to realize that I wanted to become a journalist.
I look forward to graduating this May to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. Community colleges may not be for everyone, but for me it is a life-changing experience that has helped me discover who I am and the person I hope to become.
56. What was the author’s parents’ attitude towards his/her decision about attending the
community college? ( no more than 5 words)
57. What does the underlined part “miss out on” in Paragraph 4 mean? ( 1 word)

author? (no more than 15 words)

61. One possible version:
Dear teacher and schoolmates,
It’s a great pleasure for me to be here and share my experience of learning English with you.
To begin with, we should learn to learn efficiently, adopting some effective methods. Besides, developing a good habit is also of importance. It really benefits me a lot to preview lessons, get actively involved in class, and review what has been taught after class. Most importantly, I often listen to English programs on TV and on the radio and consult some English information from the Internet and other sources in my spare time, which helps to improve my English.
Now, I'd like to make some suggestions on English teaching in our school. Firstly, we should be given more opportunities to use what we’ve learned in class. Secondly, I hope our teachers can recommend more interesting books and magazines in order to make us better understand English. Finally, I suggest we have more English activities, such as English contests and English corners.
Thank you for listening.
