10、 （共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，A PennsylvaniaWhen Connie Beck and her husband awoke to strange noises last weekend, they thought high winds were rattling (使发出响声) their home. What they found was even more unexpected: A deer was taking a bubble (泡沫) bath in their bathtub. “I w

11、asnt exactly dressed for company,” Mrs. Beck said. “We were just waking up.” The deer burst through the front door early on Saturday, ran past the couples bedroom and into the bathroom. Somehow he managed to turn on the water in the bathtub and knock over a bottle of bubble bath into the bathtub. He

12、 then got himself into the bubbly water. “You could hear the water running over the kicking,” Beck said. The Becks called State Game Commission officials, who arrived with tranquilizers (镇静剂) and a lot of laughter. “A guy said, Theres nothing wrong hes just in there taking a bubble bath,” Mrs. Beck

13、said. The animal was soon brought under control, removed from the house and released(释放). “He was unharmed except for a little cut above the eye,” said Mrs. Beck. “We were also fortunate. There wasnt much damage, except for the front door, some marks on the tub, and a few hoof (蹄) prints on the floo

14、r.”21. When did the story take place?A. On the night of Friday. B. On the late night of Saturday.C. On the early morning of Saturday. D. On Sunday evening.22.

D. the officials discovered the deer was badly injured in the eyeB We often hear the phrase: Youve a greater chance of being struck by lightning. It i

17、s used to describe something that hasnt got much chance of happening. However, the common saying undermines (掩盖) the very real dangers of lightning. Last Friday, at least 5 people were killed by lightning in Nepal. Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters

18、 in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those 73 people die. That means more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes. Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much

19、attention as other disasters. So to raise awareness, the US has made June 22 to 28 National Lightning Safety Week. It aims to warn the public of the dangers of lightning and provide safety tips during thunderstorms. If you hear thunder, you are in danger from lightning, said Rocky Lopes, a disaster

20、educator at the American Red Cross. Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any minute, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until after the storm has ended. The single most important thing to remember is to seek hiding place, Lopes said. Summer is the high time f

21、or lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips:u Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields.u If you can count less than ten seconds between a thunder and a lightning flash, take cover inside the nearest building.u Do not stand under a tree.u

22、 Get off bicycles or motorcycles.u Crouch down (蹲下) if there is no hiding place.u Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers.25.

The death rate of being struck by lightning is much higher than by other natural disasters.D. There are more people killed by tornadoes and hurricanes than by lightning

26、 in the US each year.C Psychologist George Spilich and workmates at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to think and concentrate. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes throu

27、gh many tests. In the first test, each subject sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a group of 96 letters. In this simple test, active smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well. The next test was more complex, req

28、uiring all to look quickly at orders of 20 same letters and respond to the immediate one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the encouragement of nicotine, active smokers were faster than deprived smokers. In the third test of short-term memory, non-sm

29、okers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers. The fourth test required people to read a passage, and then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bes

30、ted those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers were not only likely to have poorer memories but also had trouble picking important information from unimportant details (细节). As our tests became more complex, Spilich concludes, non-smokers performed greatly better than smoke

31、rs. He predicts, Smokers might perform well enough at many jobs until they got complex. A smoking airline pilot could fly well enough if no problems appeared, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity (心智,智力).29. Whats the purpose of George Spilichs experiment?A. To show

32、how smoking damages peoples mental capacity.B. To prove that smoking affects peoples regular performance.C. To find out whether smoking helps peoples short-term memory.D. To test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokers.30. George Spilichs experiment was conducted in s

36、ths were much smaller than those in other countries. Though I had to crouch (蜷缩) on the berth, I could still manage to sleep on it, as Im not that tall. Chinas trains are operated efficiently. The work is done well among the attendants (乘务员) and trains leave on time. The friendly nature of the Chine

37、se passengers turns a trip on the train into a big family gathering, and they often share their food with other passengers. Foreigners, on the other hand, will say hi to each other, but rarely go further than that. On Chinese trains, I often saw such a funny thing: old couples would argue about wher

38、e they should put their luggage; young people would begin to play with their mobile phones as soon as they settled in their seats. I like traveling by train in China because it is cheap, safe and comfortable. In India and Spain, people are always knocking off the metal parts of the train to sell the

39、m for money. Bit by bit, the train is destroyed. Thats why there are signs on the train, warning Stop stealing the train!
