than my sister by a few minutes. i always treasure the thought of those minutes. they were the only time in my life when i was the center of everyones attention. from the moment caroline was born, she drew all the attention to herself. when my mother and grandmother told the story of our births, it was mostly of how caroline had refused to breathe. but where was i? i asked my mother. in the basket, she said, grandma dressed you and put you in the basket.carolines true gift was her voice. our teacher, mr. rice, said she should have singing lessons. i was proud of my sister, but something began to hurt me under the pride. as time went on, i suffered more and more deeply.later, i became a nurse-midwife, the person who helps deliver（给接生） babies. i went to a town called truitt, where there were no doctors then. people there were usually slow to accept outsiders, but they needed my skills for all their medical problems.one night, i was helping with the birth and i guessed twins. the first baby - a boy came easily. but the second baby - a girl came head first and blue as death. the kitchen was slightly warmer than the bedroom, so i laid the second baby on some cloth on the door of the oven. then i suddenly asked, where is the other twin? in my concern for his sister, i had completely forgotten him. hes sleeping in the basket, said the grandmother. you should hold him, i said, and let his mother look after him!21. why did caroline draw all the attention after her birth? a. she was so lovely.b. she needed first aid. c. she breathed weakly.d. she was the last to come.22. what was

you hear what sounds like thunder in the distance. what should you do? your tent is close by and would offer shelter(躲避处) from the pouring rain. theres a campsite(营地) picnic shelter a few minutes down the path. and then you remember that your car is parked down the road. whats your safest choice to make sure you and your families are safe?its a common question for many hikers and campers, especially when they are camping during summer months. heading to your car is almost always the safest choice. your tent and a picnic shelter will keep you dry, but they offer little or no protection against lightening. your car, on the other hand, will keep you dry and protect you from lightening strikes. protecting yourself against possible lightening strikes is very important; lightening kills an average of 62 people in the us each year. if you keep all of the windows and doors closed in your car, youll be able to return to your campsite safely.of course, if youre backpacking(背包旅行), not car camping, and youre deep in the woods, your car wont be a good choice. so, what should you do if your car is far away and theres no other safe shelter nearby? first, youll have to make sure that tree limbs or other objects dont fall on you or your campsite. then youll have to get in a safe position to avoid lightening, or flash flood conditions. what else should you do?25. the writer s purpose is to tell us _.a. what camping is.b. how to camp safely.c. car camping is the safest way when camping.d. how to survive a storm when camping 26. to avoid lightening in a storm, youd better _.a. go into your tent quicklyb. cook up the catch of the day over a campfirec. get into your car and return to your campsited. run into a campsite picnic shelter at once27. from the last paragraph we can infer _.a. when camping, learning to protect oneself is very importantb. people should never camp deep in the woodsc. backpacking is not a good choice for campersd. people should not go camping alone28. which of the following is true?a. campers like car camping best.b. lightening is a danger for campers.c. young people like backpacking best.d. camping during summer months is the most popular.csome people think they have an answer to the problems of automobile（机动车）crowding and pollution in large cities. their answer is the bicycle, or “bike”.in a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. in new york city, some bike riders have even formed a group called bike for a better city. they claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown（市中心） section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.for several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. for example, they want the city to paint special lanes(车道) for bicycle on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be accidents. bike for a better city feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.but no bicycle lanes have been painted yet. not everyone thinks they are a good idea. taxi drivers dont like the idea they say it will slow traffic. some store owners on the main streets dont like the idea they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. and most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.the city government has not yet decided what to do. it wants to keep everyone happy. on weekends, central park the largest open space in new york is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. but bike for a better city says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown(市中心). until that happens, the safest place to bicycle may be in the park. 29. some people founded bike for a better city because _.a. there are no bikes in new york city nowb. they wanted to reduce the traffic and pollutionc. there are no bike lanes in new york city nowd. traffic has been too slow30. some people are against the idea of bicycle lanes because they think _.a. they will not reduce the traffic b. there will be traffic accidentsc. they will make traffic less and slower d. traffic moves slowly in bike lanes31. which is the best possible title for the passage?a. the safest place for bicycle riders.b. special lanes to a greener city.c. fight for a better environment.d. less traffic, greener city.32. what is the attitude of the author towards painting bike lanes?a. welcome b. negative c. surprised d. neutral(中立的)dscience cant explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. for some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. a 2002 study by karen allen of the state university of new york measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners while they performed 5 minutes of mental calculation or held a hand in ice water. subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. people with pets did it best. those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to normal heart rates. with pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. it seems people feel more relaxed around pets, says allen, who thinks it may be because pets dont judge.a study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. researchers at northwestern memorial hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. on average(平均), people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. dog owners didnt lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.33. what does the text mainly discuss?a. how pets help people calm down.b. what pets bring to their owners.c. peoples opinions of keeping pets.d. pets value in medical research.34. according to allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?a. they have lower blood pressure.b. they become more patient.c. they are less nervous.d. they are in higher spirits. 35. we learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if _.a. he has a pet companionb. he has less stress of workc. he often does mental calculationd. he is taken care of by his family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。 public speaking
