Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (扑), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater. Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free. Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers. “This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report. He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husbands “quick and diligent actions”. Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria on the teeth of the crocodile.36.

Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in drivers education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course. The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a drivers license. Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practice starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers (操作) required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and “driver” sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back. Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the drivers side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly. After the student has passed the drivers education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated state office to take their driver;s test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a drivers license. If the person did well in his or her drivers education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a drivers license.41. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? ADriving Classes. BDriving Learning.CDriving Course. DDriving Experience.42.In America, the drivers course mentioned above _.Ais considered as part of the advanced educationBis given to any student wanting to get a drivers licenseCis carried on at the same time as other coursesDis offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high schools43. To prevent accidents, a drivers Ed car _.Ahas a sign inside it Bhas two sets of brakesCis big enough to hold five persons Dcant run very fast44. Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their drivers license?AThey must be 16 years of age.BThey should go to have their drivers test.CThey must have their eyes examined.DThey ought to do well in their drivers course.45. In the last sentence, “with flying colors” means _.Ahappily Bsuccessfully C. colorfully D. quicklyCWhy do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of aging on the heart has found that womens longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the aging process.”What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old womans heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old ones.“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why aging takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.46. The underlined word “longevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to “_”.A. long life B.health C. aging D. effect47. The text mainly talks about _.A. mens heart cells B. womens aging process、C. hearts and long life D. the gender difference48. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that _.A. women have more cells than men when they are bornB. the female heart loses few of the cells with age C. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatD. women never lose their pumping power with age49. If you want to live longer, you should _.A. enable your heart to beat much faster B. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy C. find out the reason for aging D. prevent your cells from being lost50. We can know from the passage that _.A. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells B. the reason why aging takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outC. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossD. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20第四部分：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。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Here are some ideas on how to read newspaper articles quickly and efficiently so that you can read a whole newspaper quickly and get as much information as possible in the shortest time._51_ It sums up the news-article and gives hints about the content and the point of view in the article.Look at the pictures and information in any “boxes”. _52_Read the lead paragraph and the second paragraph carefully: look for the topic sentence in each.
