his arm. jesses uncle jumped into the sea and dragged the boy to the store. the boy was not breathing. his aunt gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while his uncle rang the emergency services. pretty soon, a helicopter arrived and flew the boy to hospital. it was a much quicker journey than the journey by road.jesses uncle, vance folsenzier, ran back into the sea and found the shark that had attacked his nephew. he picked the shark up and threw it onto the beach. a coastguard shot the fish four times and although this didnt kill it, the sharks jaws relaxed so that they could open them, and reach down onto its stomach, and pull out the boys arm.at the baptist hospital in pensacola, dr lan rogers spent eleven hours reattaching jesses arm. “it was a complicated operation,” he said, “but we were lucky. if the arm hadnt been recovered in time, we wouldnt have been able to do the operation at all. what i means is that if they hadnt found the shark, well then we wouldnt have had a chance.”according to local park ranger (园林管理者) jack tomosvic, shark attacks are not that common. “jesse was just unlucky” he says, “evening is the sharks feeding time. and jesse was in the area without lifeguards. this would never have happened if he had been in the area where swimming is allowed.” when reporters asked jesses uncle how he had had the courage to fight a shark , he replied, “i was mad and you do some strange things when youre mad.”36 what was the boy doing when the accident happened?a feeding a hungry shark b jumping into a rough seac dragging a boy to the shore d swimming in a dangerous area37 in which way did the boys uncle help with the operation?a by finding his lost arm b by shooting the fishc by flying him to hospital d by offering his blood38 how was his uncle in time of danger ?a careful b brave c optimistic d patient bwhile i was on my way to walmart, i was greeted by an elder woman who was working at the door as a greeter, i had a return to make so she stopped me and asked to tag my bag. usually i would have gotten annoyed because i know i dont steal, so why does my bag need to be tagged? id just witnessed someone ahead of me being not so nice, and treating the lady like she was a nobody. i could see this lady looked to be at retirement age, trying to make ends meet. the look on her face and the energy she gave was that of someone afraid and not knowing where they stood in life. not to mention the person ahead of me whod just snatched(夺) a bag back from her and stormed off without even saying thank you. i could tell this woman was hurt by that, and no one knows how many people had been treating her that way all day long.what if she was a grandmother whod recently taken care of her grandchildren for whatever season? what if her husband she had to support recently fell sick and they couldnt afford the medical expenses, so she had to go back to work? what if she just lost everything she had in her retirement and now she had to go back to work?all she wants is to do her job and do it well. all she wants is to serve customers the way she was trained. all she needs is to be appreciated. can i be that someone she needs, just for the moment?i looked her in her eyes as she scanned my bag, smiled and said, “your hair is beautiful and fits you well!” her face lit up and she smiled back and began to tell me how much easier it is to manage. it was salt-and-pepper hair and was cut in the prettiest style. she handed my bag back, smiled and told me the service desk was straight down to my left. i said “thank you!”39 at the door of walmart, the old woman_.a asked every customer for money to feed her familyb was made to welcome customers and check their bagsc was asked to keep the door open all the timed worked as guide to give customers direction40 seeing the look of the old woman and the treatment she received, the author_.a became annoyed b showed sympathy c was puzzled d turned generous41 it could be learned from paragraph2 that the author_.a didnt understand why the old woman did such a jobb insisted the old woman should stay at home comfortablyc was sure the old woman was respected by people d supposed the old woman might be in trouble for some reason42 by saying “your hair is beautiful and fits you well.” the author wanted to _.a make the old woman feel appreciated b please her so as not to let her bag taggedc praise her for her hair style and clothes d confirm her hard work and special beautycnature is full of color, from rainbows and roses to butterfly wings and peacock tails. even the fruits and vegetables you eat have different colors: blue blueberries, red strawberries, green broccoli, and orange carrots.plant and animals often use color to attract attention. the substances responsible for these colors belong to a class of chemical called antioxidants(抗氧化物). plants make antioxidant to protect themselves from the suns ultraviolet(uv)(紫外线)light.ultraviolet light causes chemicals called free radicals(自由基)to form within plant cells. they can destroy parts of plant. free radicals also have damaging effects on human beings. some of these effects like wrinkled skin can be seen. the damage is caused by the free radicals attacking cells in our bodies. certain cancers and heart disease are linked to free radicals.our bodies have natural defences for fighting off free radicals. while we are young, our defences are pretty strong. however, they get weaker as we get older. the bodys built-in defences can only go so far without extra help.the key to fighting free radicals with fruits and vegetables is to mix and match colors. its like sunscreen(防晒霜)for the inside of your body. go for a range of very bright colors. colorful foods contain hundreds of healthy chemicals not found anywhere else.research into how chemicals in blueberries affect the brains function in rats suggests that these chemicals may help our own brains work more efficiently. dont just blame the sun. ultraviolet light isnt the only source of free radicals. if you breathe polluted air such as smog, automobile exhaust(废气), or wasted gas from a factory, you take in chemicals that also cause such damage. and, the body itself produces free radicals as it processes food.43 which of the following not true?a antioxidants are responsible for plant colorsb plants use color to attract attentionc antioxidants can protect plants from uv lightd antioxidants help free radicals to attack plants44 in which order do the following facts occur?a wrinkled skin can be seen b uv light causes free radicals to formc free radicals damage cells in our bodies d the sun gives out uv lighta a,b,c,d b d,b,c,ac c,a,d,b d d,b,a,c45 we need extra help for fighting off free radicals from fruits and vegetables because _.a our bodies defences are not naturalb we are too young to defend ourselvesc our defences get weaker as we get olderd our bodies built-in defences can only go away46 which of the following can not cause free radicals to form?a colorful food b uv light from the sunc polluted air d the body itselfdcamping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. but with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wildness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目的) and leave no mark.wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowed lowland england. wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy about camping and shelter building. for example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of scotland, but in england you must ask the landowners permission, except in national parkscamping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. a busy, full-equipped campsite seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.finding the right spot to camp is first step to guaranteeing a good nights sleep. choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and environment. try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. when camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. avoid animal runs and caves and possible homes of biting insects. make sure you have most protection on the windward side. if you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. avoid damaging plants. a good campsite found, not made-changing it should be unnecessary.47 you neednt ask for permission when camping in_.a national parks in englandb most parts of scotlandc crowded lowland britaind most parts of england48 the author thinks that a good campsite is one_.a with easy access b used previouslyc with modern convenienced far away from beaches49 the last paragraph mainly deals with_.a protecting animalsb building a campfirec camping in woodland d finding a campsite with privacy50 the passage is manly about_.a the protection of campsitesb the importance of wild campingc the human influence on campsitesd the dos and donts of wild camping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。选项中有两项多余选项。ask an expert54 explain your interests- rock stars, sports teams, historical events, humors, whatever youre
