When the fire engines (消防车) arrived at the fire, a very old woman was sitting in a third floor window. The firefighters placed a ladder (梯子) against the wooden house, and 26-year-old Marcus Reddick climbed 35 feet to the third floor.The woman, 60 years old and very fat, was sitting with both feet out of the window. When Marcus reached the top of the ladder, the woman, afraid and nervous, put her two legs around him. Suddenly Marcus fell backwards off the ladder, with the large woman sitting on him. Marcus landed first hitting a wall beside the front stairs and broke the womans fall. She fell no more, but he fell another ten feet down the stairs. When the fire officer reached him, Marcus was unconscious.Within an hour, a doctor told the men that Marcus was nearly brain dead, and would only get worse. Doctors talked of turning off the life-saving machine and asked if the family would like to give away his heart. The answer was “yes”.On January 6, firefighters lifted Marcus coffin (棺材) covered with an American flag onto a yellow fire engine. Hundreds of firefighters from all over the state joined the procession (行列) through Newmark streets. Children watched silently from school windows. The day Marcus died, his heart was given away to a young girl. His family said that it was the second life Marcus had saved.21. What happened last New Years Eve in Newmark?A. An old woman was killed.

Its important for you to know about them before going there.Whoever likes to chew gum(口香糖) may have to leave Singapore.

During that time you arent allowed to eat or drink in public. Tourists have been fined up to $275 for drinking in public.Lovers spend so much time kissing each other goodbye at train stations that trains often start late. This law no kissing your lover goodbye at train stations is rather old, and isnt in use today in France.In Thailand its against the law to drive a car or motorcycle without a shirt on, no matter how hot it is. Punishments are different in different areas and can include warnings and tickets costing about $10. No joke -the local police will stop you.Studies in Denmark have shown that cars with their headlights on are more noticeable by other drivers than those with their headlights off. Drivers there are required to leave their headlights on even during the day, or they may face a fine up to $100.Do you often buy things using coins? Dont do it in Canada. The Currency Law of 1985 doesnt allow using only coins to buy things. Even the use of the dollar-coin is limited (受限制的).

Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual(视觉的) entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the influence of visual media cannot be ignored.One obvious influence of these media(媒体) is that watching them induces(诱导) people to buy certain products. Television advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted（扭曲的） one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational program can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world possess great wealth and good looks. It may make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction（虚构的事） and may try to imitate(模仿) acts that they see on TV or in the movies, many of which are harmful and dangerous.With the increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of real experience.28. From the passage, we know that watching television and movies can _. A.make people change their way of life B. make people feel pleased C.make people live better D. make people live worse29. The writer holds the view that _. A. people may take no notice of the effects of the visual media B. the influence of the visual media make the world changed greatly C. people must pay attention to the effects of the visual media D. the visual media only affect young people30. What does the underlined word “susceptible” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. popular B. clever C. wealthy D. easily influenced31. What would be the best title for the text?A. The Reason Why People Watch Television and Movies B. The Influence of Television and MoviesC. Television and Movies Induce PeopleD. The Importance of Television and Movies DEnglands highest main-line railway station is in serious trouble, deserted and unmanned since it was officially closed in 1970, Dent, located high in the hills of Yorkshire, wakes up on six summer weekends each year, when a special train unloads(卸载) walkers, sightseers and people who simply want to catch a train from the highest station to its platforms(站台). But even this limited being may soon be brought to an end. Dent station located on the Settel to Carlisle railway line, is said to be surrounded by the most beautiful scenery in the country. But no amount of scenic beauty can save the line because of the British Rails money problems. It is now an open secret that British Rail sees no future for this railway line. Most of its trains disappeared some time ago. Bridges, built a century ago, are falling down. It is not alone. Half a dozen railway routes in the North of England are facing a similar threat. The problem is an old system and an almost total lack of cash to repair it. Bridges and tunnels are showing their ages, the wooden supports for the tracks are rotting（腐烂） and engines and coaches(车厢) are getting old. On main lines between large cities, the problem is not too bad. There lines still make a profit and cash can be found to keep them in good condition. But on the country branch line, the situation is different. As track wears out, it is not replaced. Instead speed limits are introduced, making the journey longer than necessary and discouraging travelers. If a bridge is dangerous, there is often only one thing for British Rail to do: go out and find money from other places. This is exactly what it did a few months ago when a bridge at Bridling station was threatening to fall down. Repairs were calculated at 200,000 pounds just for one bridge, so British Rail was pleased, and rather surprised when two local councils(理事会) offered half that amount of money. 32. Of all the railway routes in Britain, the one which passes through Dent_A. is the most historic.B. passes through the most attractive countryside.C. is the most expensive route for tourists.D. carries the greatest number of tourists.33. What is the most urgent（ 迫切的）problem for many country railway lines ?A. Renewing coaches. B. Repairing engines.C. Rebuilding bridges. D. Replacing stations.34. Who would appear to be the people most affected by the difficulties facing the British Rail?A. The people who want to have holidays for touring.B. The groups who are organized.C. Large city people and local people.D. The people who do much business.35. How should British Rail improve the financial situation of the country railway lines?A. By bringing in speed limits B. By decreasing preserving costs.C. By increasing train fares D. By asking local councils for help 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。 Symbol of friendship来源:学.科.网Z.X.X.KFriendship is a wonderful thing to have no matter how old you are.
