A

It was a very hot day. Peter decided to go for a swim at the beach near his flat. He was a very good swimmer, but he was always careful not to swim too far out. He did not want to be in danger unnecessarily.

Peter chose a quiet place to swim in. He noticed that a mother had left her child in the water. And she was keeping an eye on him as he played happily in the water.

“Still, it’s dangerous to leave her child alone in the water,” Peter thought to himself. Since the sea was so calm and beautiful, Peter decided to swim in the clear water. “Wonderful! There’s nothing like a good swim.”

Suddenly, he heard a cry for help. He turned around and saw the little child. He was close enough, so he swam towards him. At this very moment, thanks to his life-saving training and his experiences of a life-guard, he knew the right steps to take in order to help the child. At the same time, the child’s mother had been woken up from her short sleep and was watching nervously as Peter pulled the child to safety.

“Thank you! Thank you,” the child’s mother said again and again. Peter could see that the mother had already felt sorry for her carelessness.

41. What do we know about Peter in Paragraph 1?

A. He was learning to swim.

B. He bought a new flat.

C. He was a careful person.

D. He often ran into danger.

42. Where did Peter decide to go swimming?

A. In a place with fewer people.

B. In a place far away from the beach.

C. In the deep water area.

D. In the area for children.

43. What was the child doing when Peter got into the water?

A. Playing with his mother.

B. Sleeping beside his mother.

C. Sitting on the beach.

D. Swimming alone in the water.

44. What does a “life-guard” do according to Paragraph 4?

A. Help swimmers in danger.

B. Keep children away from water.

C. Teach swimming

D. Clean the beach.

45. What will the mother probably do in the future?

A. She’ll learn to swim.

B. She’ll not go to the beach.

C. She’ll be more careful.

D. She’ll not face any danger.

B

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape(逃离)? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.

Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save yourself. It is important to know the way you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways(楼梯) and fire escapes, but not lifts.

From the lower floors of the building, escape through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of serious injury (伤害).

The second floor windows are usually not very high from the ground. An average(普通的) person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.

Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed, or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked(渗入) into the room.

On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof(屋顶). From the roof, a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto stones(石头) might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.

46. It is important to ___________________.

A. know the way to escape a fire

B. put out a fire in a burning house alone

C. jump out of a burning house

D. keep the door and windows closed in a fire

47. It is possible to escape through the windows __________________.

A. if you are strong enough

B. if you live on a lower floor

C. if you live on a higher floor

D. if there are some stones below

48. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. You can escape through lifts.

B. You can choose fire escapes.

C. You can’t escape through stairways.

D. Keep the door open to let others see you.

49. You should keep your head low at the window to ____________ if the building is on fire.

A. make others see you

B. call for help

C. get fresh air

D. jump out quickly

50. The best title for the passage is ____________________.

D. Saving yourself from a burning house

C

Like many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog(烟尘). The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.

Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.

Part of the pr oblem is the new “out of town” shopping centers. In the past, people often walked to shops near their homes or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centers. As a result, the small shops have disappeared(消失) and more people have to travel to do their shopping.

Critics(评论员) say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport(交通). Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about 100 pounds, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over 1.00 pound.

Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.
