She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them.

10、Dad, theres a deer there! Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deers head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deers head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a wo

11、man. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. I knew I was in trouble, Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down h

12、er leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the womans terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer.

13、I was kicking it to get its attention, she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sues injured leg. Were going to get you to a hospital, Alexis said. Then she heard her father shou

14、t loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deers head and neck, but the blows didnt scare it away. I was losing faith, she says. A couple more strikes, Alexis, said her father. You can do it. Turnin

15、g the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deers neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the drivers seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. You expect a teenage girl to

18、ous Deer Attacked a WomanC. A Girl Rescued Her Father SuccessfullyD. A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer Attack BPicking a university is a tense period of asking yourself which institution is most relevant. Thats why university rankings play such a vital role in students searching for their next aca

19、demic direction. Rankings are also an inescapable part of the reputation and brand image of universities. No university website is complete without the claim to be in the top 100 for something or other, reported the BBC. The reason is simple: Rankings help them to attract students, staff and researc

20、h investment. Currently there are numbers of university rankings, and each has its own list of standards. But the main standards are the same: academic reputation, graduates performance and faculty(教师) resources.However, experts point out the ranking process isnt entirely reliable. Mark Kantrowitz,

21、a US financial aid researcher, said university rankings were mostly just for show. He wrote in The New York Times. “It may give your parents better bragging(炫耀) rights, but thats about it.” Moreover, its not difficult to see the limitations of university rankings. Many rankings focus on the number o

22、f times research work is cited (引用) by other researchers. It helps British and US universities to dominate (支配) global rankings because English is the favored language of academia, John OLeary, a member of the QS academic advisory board, told The Guardian. Also, rankings such as QS mainly focus on t

23、he qualities of the university rather than its students. “Any university ranking is likely to help students make better decisions about where to study, but the need to balance them with other more human factors is also important,” said Phil Moss, an education and admissions consultant.“Advice from g

24、raduates or current students can be as valuable in providing a genuine insight(洞察) into the experience or quality of a particular degree program. It can also add an element that rankings can never convey-the actual emotion of a university experience.”25. Why do universities consider rankings importa

25、nt? A. Rankings make them more appealing. B. Rankings are students only reference. C. Rankings can increase their academic level. D. Rankings help them complete their websites.26. What does the underlined It in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Academic research work. B. The number of researches. C. The way

26、of ranking universities. D. The limitation of university ranking.27. According to John OLeary, what helps British and US universities rank well? A. The wide use of English in academia. B. Their outstanding qualities. C. Their graduates excellent performance. D. The academias favor to them.28. Beside

27、s ranking, what does Phil Moss suggest you should refer to if youre picking a university? A. Investment in education. B. Guidance from professors.C. Information on websites. D. Suggestions from students.C“If we can set it up so you cant unlock your phone unless youve got the right fingerprint(指纹),”

28、Barack Obama asked last Tuesday, “why cant we do the same thing for our guns?” For this reasonable-sounding question, the president was praised throughout the media.As it happens, though, there is a good answer to this question: there is no market for guns that work just some of the time. Guns are s

29、imple things designed to operate as easily and reliably as possible. The introduction of electronics eats away this simplicity, and to a degree that is absolutely unacceptable to the consumer. As President Obama well knows, the fingerprint software on his phone works rather erratically: Often it tak

30、es a user two or three tries to log in; occasionally, it falls asleep deeply and obeys the password. When this happens on an phone, the user is mildly inconvenienced. If this were to happen on a gun, the user would be dead. There is a reason that modern smartphones put the camera function outside of

31、 the authentication(认证) process.How could we possibly think that guns are the same as other commercial products? It is true that, say, cars have become considerably safer over the last few decades; true, too, that “research” has contributed to this improvement. But it matters enormously that a car i

32、s not intended to hurt people, and that in a perfect world nobody would ever be injured by one. Can we say the same of guns? Of course not. Guns are killing machines, designed to do damage to living things. In fact, they have no other purpose. As such, the salient(突出的) question before any free peopl

33、e is not “are guns dangerous?” they are, but “who gets them, and why?”This is not to say that nothing at all can be done to improve public safety. On an individual level, gun owners should do everything to ensure that their guns are kept away from children, and, where possible, they should train the

34、mselves in case they are ever called upon to shoot in anger. At the national level, the combination of better policing and economic growth can help to reduce crimeand, indeed, it has. In 1993, gun crime was more than twice as common as it is now, and there were fewer guns in circulation. Unpleasant

35、as it is in its own right, that we have reached the point at which two-thirds of all guns-related deaths are deliberately self-inflicted (自虐) is a small victory. How to deal with those deaths that remain? That is a tricky one. I do not know the answer, and nor, frankly, does anybody else. But sellin

36、g fantasies to the ignorant is not going to cut it. 29. What does the writer mainly argue in this passage? A. Gun crime has been greatly reduced.B. The idea of smart guns is not realistic.C. Gun control will not succeed in America. D. Guns-related deaths deserve public attention.30. The underlined w

37、ord “erratically” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. with effectiveness B. with passion and energyC. in an unpredictable mannerD. in a reasonable and fair way 31. The writer supports his ideas in Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly by _. A. analyzing statistics(数据)B. presenting problems and solutions C. quoti

Efforts to improve public safety have partly paid off. C. The nature of guns makes them different from other products.D. Guns u

40、edom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot especially without realizing it emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings. 34 One of the biggest myths about emotional ea

41、ting is that its caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when theyre stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentines Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes e

42、motional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce. 35 Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done. 36 Its not easy to “unlearn(抛弃)” patterns of emotional eating. But it is p

43、ossible. And it starts with an awareness of whats going on.Were all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings tha

44、t cause it remain. 37 Thats why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.A. Believe it or not, weve all been there.B. If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies wi

Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.F. Boys seem to prefer hot, homemade comfor
