thursday afternoon. thanks to a skilled pilot, a rapid rescue and a lot of luck, there was only one report of a serious injuryone passenger suffered two broken legsfrom all 155 people aboard the plane.the plane had taken off from la guardia airport in new york city at 3:26pm. it was bound for（开往）charlotte, north carolina, but it crashed just minutes after takeoff. the crash was probably caused by a flock of birds that slammed into(撞上)the two engines of the jet. birds regularly tangle with airplanes, but they very rarely cause a problem.many people who were watching from the shores were shocked that the aircraft did not sink immediately. instead, it floated, twisting and drifting south in strong currents.cold winter weather made the rescue effort even more urgent. it was barely -6 in new york city. the water was 2. many passengers stood on the wings of the aircraft while waiting to board rescue boats. coast guard and ferry boats arrived on the scene within minutes.brought ashore on both sides of the river, the survivors were taken to hospitals in manhattan, mostly for treatment of exposure to the cold. many had stood on the wings with water up to their waists. most of them were shivering with cold, wrapped in coats. but others were smiling, and a few were ready to give interviews to groups of reporters. officials will interview the us airways crew and examine the plane for more clues about the cause of the crash.36. from the first paragraph we can learn that _.a. it was dark when the plane crashedb. an injured crew member was savedc. the passengers got immediate helpd. the pilot had difficulty driving the plane37. what surprised the people on the riverbank?a. that the crash was caused by birds.b. that the passengers were safe.c. that the plane floated on the water.d. that the plane kept shaking.38. we can infer from the text that _.a. there are many hospitals on hudson riverbanksb. what caused the air crash will be investigatedc. passengers stayed together because of cold weatherd. many survivors wanted to be interviewed39. what would be the best title of the text?a. an amazing rescue b. a shocking planec. badly injured passengers d. an accident caused by birdsbdomestic(驯养的) horses now pull ploughs, race in the kentucky derby, and carry police. but early horses werent tame(驯服的) enough to perform these kinds of tasks. scientists think the first interactions humans had with horses were far different from those today.thousands of years ago, people killed the wild horses that lived around them for food. over time, people began to catch the animals and raise them. this was the first step in domestication.as people began to tame and ride horses. they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable characteristics. for example, people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they could be ridden more easily. people who used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to keep stronger animals. characteristics like strength are partly controlled by the animals genes. so as the domesticated horses reproduced, they passed the characteristics on to their young. each new generation of horses would show more of these chosen characteristics.modern day horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. this variety didnt exist in the horse population before domestication. the shetland horse is one of the smallest breedstypically reaching only one meter tall. with short, strong legs, the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts(矿井) with low ceilings. huge horses like the clydesdale came on the scene around 1700. people bred these heavy, tall horses to pull large vehicles used for carrying heavy loads.the domestication of horses has had great effects on societies. for example, horses were important tools in the advancement of modern agriculture, using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently. before they were able to ride horses, humans had to cross land on foot. riding horses allowed people to travel far greater distances in much less time. that encouraged populations living in different areas to interact with one another. the new form of rapid transportation helped cultures spread around the world.40.before domestication horses were_. a. caught for sports b. hunted for food c. made to pull ploughs d. used to carry people41.the author uses the shetland horse as an example to show_. a. it is smaller than the clydesdale horse b. horses used to have gentle personalities c. some horses have better shapes than others d. horses were of less variety before domestication42.horses contributed to the spread of culture by_. a. carrying heavy loads b. changing farming methods c. serving as a means of transport d. advancing agriculture in different areas43.the passage is mainly about_. a. why humans domesticated horses b. how humans and horses needed each other c. how human societies and horses influenced each othercthe amount of snack food (零食) in stores across the country has been much smaller in the past few weeks. this is because more than 100 peanut butter products are being recalled. health officials have linked the popular snack ingredient (成分) to a nationwide outbreak of salmonella poisoning.salmonella is a kind of harmful bacteria, often carried by birds. eating food infected with salmonella can make some people very sick. babies and the elderly are most affected by salmonella infection. washing your hands frequently is a good way to guard against it. products that have been banned from stores include everything from cookies and candy to ice cream and some pet foods. nearly 500 people in 43 states have been infected in the salmonella outbreak since september. at least eight deaths have also been tied to peanut butter products.after conducting several tests, health officials are pointing the finger at a peanut processing plant in blakely, georgia. salmonella was found in the production equipment and production at the plant has now been stopped. the plant sells peanut butter to more than 70 food companies throughout the united states. one of the companies is cereal giant kellogg co. earlier this month, kellogg recalled some of its austin brand peanut butter crackers（饼干）from all nationwide stores.food safety expert michael doyle says that manufacturers have to be extra careful that peanuts are not polluted after they have been roasted for peanut butter production. peanut butter cannot be heated to kill the bacteria without making it unpleasant to eat. “once the salmonella gets into the peanut butter, you are not going to kill it,” doyle said.44. many peanut butter products are recalled from stores because _.a. theyve become less popular recentlyb. they are infected with harmful bacteriac. they are bad for health officialsd. they are poisonous to children45. we can learn from the text that _.a. many people got sick from eating too much candy and butterb. peanut butter products have been recalled from all the storesc. food companies have declared they will sell food without peanut butterd. the peanut processing plant in blakely has stopped producing peanut butter46. what does the underlined phrase mean in the third paragraph?a. enquiring. b. disagreeing. c. doubting. d. criticizing.47. what can be inferred from the text?a. food producers should be careful with food safety.b. well-known companies should take their brands seriously.c. people should buy healthy food in the supermarket.d. sweet food can easily be polluted by harmful bacteria.dwhen challenges of our job and our skills to do it are well matched, we experience a lot of satisfaction while working. but when they are not matched, it becomes unpleasant too many challenges make our job stressful, not enough makes it boring.if you are experiencing stress and tension at work, the solution could be to increase your skills until it matches your challenge. for example, a typist buried in a pile of unfinished work often feels overburdened and tense. the feeling of tension signals that he has too many challenges. the solution is to have more skills, so he should ask himself, “what skill could i improve to help me finish my work?” maybe the answer is “typing speed”. he then needs to find a typing-tutor program and improve his ability. his typing speed keeps increasing until eventually his skill level matches the challenge of the job, and then his work enters the enjoyment zone.to cure boredom on the job, you can increase the challenge. you can set and pursue goals beyond what is required by the job. lets say our typists program of selfimprovement worked so well that a year later he no longer has any backlog document (积压文件) . as a matter of fact, hes getting all his work done ahead of time! his job is no longer stressful, but boring. what can he do now? well, he could try to make his typing as perfect as possible, and he could try to continuously increase his speed. he could also look around and see what other challenges (related to the job) he could deal with reorganizing, making systems more efficient, etc.increased skills are usually associated with increased opportunities for promotions and pay raises, so there is another possible effect you might enjoy: more money.48. if you are bored at work, you should _.a. reduce your stress b. reduce your anxietyc. change your job d. increase your challenge49. how will an office worker feel if he cant accomplish his task?a. worried and tired. b. stressful and nervous.c. boring and unsatisfied. d. tense and hopeless.50. it is implied in the text that _.a. stress and tension in work will make us feel dull and boredb. increasing our skill level will help us keep away from boredomc. a good match between skills and challenges is favorable to usd. a good way to increase challenges is to get promotions and pay raises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。 51 if you are afraid to fail, afraid of what others will think of you, or that your situation could become worse, you will remain exactly where you are. if you are willing to accept the fact that failure is a part of the landscape on the journey to success, and take the journey anyway, you will achieve far more than the common herd(普通民众). 52 if you were to study every successful human being on the planet, you will uncover a history of obstacles they had to overcome and failures they endured along the path to that success. just like you needed to learn what hot was, so you could understand cold. 53 the important thing to understand is that although failure is a part of the process, it does need to be managed. 54 failure must be a part of the process for its in these valleys you grow most its where you become a stronger, more capable person. and even if what youve worked so hard for is taken away from you, you know how to get it back faster and easier because you have the necessary knowledge and experience. 55 if so, in the end when you look back on your life with regret for the things you never did, you will have realized the ultimate failure.a. you must know failure in order to recognize success.b. if there is anything in your life you long for, dont let the fear of failure stop you.c. successes have failed many more times than those re
