arrived in london only to find my plane to newcastle had been cancelled because of weather conditions.the airline was helpful- offering me a choice between a night in a hotel or a six-hour bus ride to my destination. with no sign as to whether a fight to newcastle would happen in the next two days, i chose the bus ride. i stored all my things in the luggage box of the bus, thinking we would not need anything on the way. a young lady sitting beside me could see how tired i was and asked me if anyone would be meeting me on my arrival.i realized that i had left my mobile phone in my bag and had no way to contact my relatives. they would be waiting for me at the airport about five hours before the bus got to newcastle, not knowing what had happened. without hesitation, the young lady offered me the use of her mobile phone.when the bus made a rest stop, she asked me if i was getting out. i replied that i couldnt as i still had sandals(凉鞋) on, and bare feet werent good for the cold weather. when she got back on, shed bought me some tea and sweets to eat.when we finally arrived in newcastle, the lady checked that someone was there to meet me. i asked her to wait a moment while i got my purse to repay her, but when i looked up she had gone. i was unable to even thank her.21. why couldnt the writer fly to newcastle at first?a. the plane happened to break down then.b. the writer had

get in touch with relatives24. after arriving in newcastle, the writer was sorry that _.a. his plane was canceledb. the lady leftc. the driver leftd. his relatives werent there bon a cold night near the end of winter, a lonely voice appears in the air. it starts in watery woodlands, but the sound is loud enough to travel great distances. days pass, and other voices join the first. what creature makes such a powerful voice? its a tiny tree frog-smaller than your thumb-called a spring peeper (春雨蛙).when peepers wake from their winter sleep, they crawl out from under last falls leaves. then they head for water-lakes and rivers. there, male peepers begin their breeding(繁殖) season by calling for mates.in many parts north america, the call of the peepers is one of the first signs of spring. because their voices sound similar to bells, the frogs have eared another nickname-the bells of springtime.scientists hoping to see these noisy creatures might be disappointed. not only are spring peepers tiny, but they also have a similar colour to their backgrounds. their skin changes colour when the air temperature or light changes. their skin colour can change from gray to yellowish-brown to dark brown-the colours of old leaves. one thing doesnt change, and its something that sets peepers apart from other tree frogs: peepers have dark marks on their backs, usually in the shape of an x. like most tree frogs, peepers have a large sticky disk(吸盘) at the end of each toe. these disks make it easy for them to climb straight up. other types of frogs cant do that. peepers dont climb high into the trees, but prefer to stay on low-growing plants. because a peeper doesnt weigh much, it can stay on a single leaf. when the breeding season ends, the spring peepers leave their waterside homes to return to the woods.25. why do peepers head for water after they wake up?a. because they go to breed. b. because they go to drink water.c. because they look for their parents.d. because they want to move their homes.26. the peepers are hard to see because they_.a. live high in the treeb. often hide under leavesc. are dying outd. can change colour27. peepers are different from other tree frogs in their_.a. small size b. loud voice c. living habits d. x-shaped dark marks 28. according to the last paragraph, peepers_.a. feed on plants b. prefer to live in waterc. are skilled at climbing d. produce babies in the woods crevolutionary tv earstv ears has helped thousands of people with various degrees of hearing loss hear thetelevision clearly without turning up the volume(音量) and now

doorstep. that is what gabriel gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. if this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.organic produce is always better, gold said. the food is free of pesticides（农药）, and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. and more often than not it is locally（本地）grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty. gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across britain are depending on more like him as they grow their organic food business. but how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? market research shows that gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. for example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. and about three quarters of organic food in britain is not local but imported（进口）to meet growing demand. the demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so
