学习啦在线学习网 　　As the first person on the scene, Philip made sure it was safe to approach the vehicle and found an unconscious woman inside, slumped (陷入) forward and with her airway blocked. As another driver approached, he shouted for them to call the emergency services. Then Philip acted fast.

　　He recalls：“Climbing into the car, I immediately lifted the woman’s head and opened her airway, so she would be able to breathe. I then kept my hands on her head to keep her neck steady, as the crash could have caused spinal (脊柱的) injury.”?

　　Shopkeepers in Modbury agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper bags sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.

学习啦在线学习网 　　Last month, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shopper who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Banladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.

　　Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty(宽限期) , allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for recycling.

　　The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effects of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response in the town so far had been “really positive”.

　　“Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,’ Hosking told Sky News Television.

学习啦在线学习网 　　The worldwatch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.

　　61. The underlined word “ disposable” in the passage probably means ______.

　　A. acceptableB. valuable C. throw-away D. long-lasting

　　62. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.高.考.资.源.网

　　A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bags

　　B. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world

　　C. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the world

　　D. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags

　　63. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

学习啦在线学习网 　　A. Environmental Protection B. Big Cities Banning Plastic Bags

学习啦在线学习网 　　C. Effect of Plastic Bags on Sea Animals D. British Town Banning Plastic Bags

　　C

　　Due to climate change, Arctic ice is breaking up earlier in the spring, and its area is decreasing. This is creating problems for polar bears that make their homes off northern Alaska and in Hudson Bay.

学习啦在线学习网 　　Polar bears off Alaska normally hunt and raise their young on ice sheets that float on the ocean. But as the ice has melted, the polar bears have been forced to spend more time on land. There, they have begun to frequent beaches, feeding on the remains of whales caught by native hunters. For polar bears, this food is less nutritious than seals that they normally catch on ice sheets. The shrinking(减少) ice has also forced more polar bears into the ocean. In the past, they only had to swim short distances between ice sheets. But as the ice has shrunk, polar bears have been forced to swim longer and longer distances in the open ocean. This poses a severe danger during rough weather, and an increasing number of drowned polar bears have been observed.

学习啦在线学习网 　　In Hudson Bay, the ice breaks up three weeks earlier in the spring now than it did 20 years ago. Polar bears on Hudson Bay fast(绝食) during the summer, waiting for ice to form in the fall to hunt. Every year, the summer gets longer, and the bears get skinnier. Over the past 25 years, the average weight of the female bears has dropped 68 kg. This loss affects their ability to reproduce, and already the number of births has dropped 15 percent. Unless the bears can learn to survive these climate changes, these giants of the ice may one day disappear.

　　64. What is true of polar bears that are spending more time on land in Alaska?

学习啦在线学习网 　　A. Their young are dying. B. Their diet is changing.

　　C. Their health is improving. D. Their families are growing.

　　65. What do polar bears in Hudson Bay do during the summer?

　　A. They claim territory(地域). B. They protect mates.

　　C. They hunt animals. D. They stop feeding.

学习啦在线学习网 　　66. What does the writer imply about female polar bears in Hudson Bay ?

学习啦在线学习网 　　A. They are having fewer young now. B. They suffer from various sicknesses.

　　C. They don’t need stronger protection. D. They can’t find enough good males.

　　67. In which publication would you most likely find this passage?

　　A. Medical News B. Society Today C. Wildlife Journal D. Design Magazine

　　D

　　It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.

　　Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech—“I Have a Dream”, you may notice that he stumbles over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.

　　People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making them more human.

学习啦在线学习网 　　As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.

　　68. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will .

　　A. be smarter than you B. notice your mistakes

学习啦在线学习网 　　C. do better than you D. know what you are talking about

　　69. You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because .

　　A. your attention is on the content

学习啦在线学习网 　　B. you don’t fully understand the speech

　　C. you don’t know what the speaker plans to say

　　D. you find the way of speech-making more important

学习啦在线学习网 　　70. It can be inferred from the passage that .

学习啦在线学习网 　　A. giving a speech is like giving a performance

学习啦在线学习网 　　B. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad

学习啦在线学习网 　　C. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made

学习啦在线学习网 　　D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be
