need to come up here to the stillwater river made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: “ your son is ok. ” when i got to the river, i immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine. i hurried over to him. you ok? i asked. “yeah,” was all he said. but my eyes begged for an explanation, i didnt get it from my son, however, who tends to play his cards close to his vest. the story was this: a woman was being swept under water. hearing the cries, anton and his friend tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore. in an age in which the word hero is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, i realized the real thing in my son. the teens are stubborn and self-centred, but that didnt mean they have no desire to do good. still shocked by my sons daring, i drove him home. along the way, i tried to dig out some more information from him, but he had precious little to say. the only words he said were, “whats for supper?” i spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. the next morning, when anton got up, i half expected him to tell me the story. but all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. watching from

lizard（蜥蜴） of the iguana family. it is the largest of the west indian rock iguanas, one of the most endangered groups of lizards. this species with red eyes and a thick tail is one of the largest lizards in the caribbean. the cuban iguana is primarily herbivorous; 95% of its diet consists of the leaves, flowers and fruits from as many as 30 plant species, including the seaside rock bush and various grasses. however, cuban iguanas occasionally consume animal matter, and individuals have been observed eating the dead flesh of birds, fish and crabs. the researchers wrote that quite a few people on isla magueyes could have caused this incident. the cuban iguana is distributed throughout the rocky southern coastal areas of mainland cuba and its surrounding islands with a wild population booming on isla magueyes, puerto rico. it is also found on the cayman islands of little cayman and cayman brac, where a separate subspecies occurs. females guard their nest sites and often nest in sites half destroyed by cuban crocodiles. to avoid the attack from them, the cuban iguana often makes its home within or near prickly-pear cacti（仙人掌）. in general the species is in decline, more quickly on the mainland than on the outlying islands. one of the reasons for their decline is habitat destruction caused by the over consuming of farm animals, housing development, and the building of tourist resorts on the beaches where the animals prefer to build their nests. although the wild population is in decline, the numbers of iguanas have been sharply increased as a result of captive-breeding（圈养）and other conservation programs. 25.the underlined word herbivorous （paragraph 2） probably means . a. dangerous b. gentle c. plant-eating d. flesh-eating26.why does the cuban iguana build its nest near prickly-pear cacti? a. to keep itself cool. b. to get the food easily. c. to stay away from people. d. to avoid crocodiles attack. 27.how many reasons are mentioned for the

- safer than tobacco. although e-cigarettes contain the drug nicotine like cigarettes, they do not use tobacco and you do not light them. they are powered by battery. however, if e-cigarettes are so safe, why has the united states center for disease control（cdc）seen an increase in telephone calls about e-cigarette poisonings? the answer is children. most of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the devices. in the period of one month this year, the center said 215 people called the center with e-cigarette concerns. more than half of these calls were for children aged five and younger. the devices had made them sick. tim mcafee is director of the centers office on smoking and health. he says the problem is regulation, meaning, the u. s. federal government does not control e-cigarettes even though they contain liquid nicotine. mr. mcafee adds that liquid nicotine is a well-known danger. mr. mcafee explains that nicotine poisoning happens when it gets into the skin, gets into the eyes or is swallowed. it can cause stomach pain or a sense of unbalance. and too much nicotine can kill. tim mcafee says e-cigarettes do not create the level of risk to people that tobacco products do. he notes that almost 500,000 americans die each year from cigarettes. so, cigarettes are the winner in that contest. e-cigarettes do not contain hundreds of harmful chemicals that are found in real cigarettes. so, the u. s. surgeon general boris d. lushniak has suggested that e-cigarettes may be a useful tool for adults trying to end their tobacco use. but mcafee worries that teenagers may think electronic cigarettes are harmless. they could become addicted to the nicotine and then start smoking real cigarettes. in other words, he fears that for young people fake e-cigarettes could be a gateway to the real thing.32.what do the producers think of e-cigarettes?a. dangerous. b. expensive. c. safer. d. cheaper. 33.why did the cdc receive so many calls about

harmless e-cigarettes. b. smoking e-cigarettes can make a person sick. c. he claims that regulations should be made to ban smoking. d. he is concerned about the teens using e-cigarettes.【答案】32.c33.a34.b35.d【解析】试题分析：文章主要讲的是电子烟的问题。生产者认为电子烟比香烟更安全。cdc接到许多关于电子烟的电话，是因为家长害怕他们的孩子可能会中毒。而政府却认为电子烟所含有害物质较少而赞成电子烟的使用。32.c细节理解题。根据第一段“producers made electronic cigarettes as a safer smoking choice - safer than tobacco”可知，生产商认为电子烟比香烟更安全，故选c。33.a细节理解题。根据第三段“the answer is children. most of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the

could become addicted to the nicotine and then start smoking real cigarettes”可知，mcafee认为液态的尼古丁仍然是有害健康的，排除a；b项偷换概念而且会使青少年对液态尼古丁产生依赖，进而促使他们去抽香烟，说明mcafee担心青少年使用电子烟以及由此产生的有害影响，故选d。考点：健康类短文阅读第二节（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。(注：选e 涂ab ； 选f涂ac； 选g涂ad）some ways to deal with hardship and pain in life regardless of the difficulties you may face, its getting back up and moving forward that counts the most when you need to deal with hardship. 36 write or talk about how you feel keeping my feelings to myself used to make me feel lonely, but when i found someone who actually cared about me, it became natural to share how i felt with him and that contributed to my ability to overcome troublesome situations. 37 although talking to strangers about your issues may seem crazy, it actually isnt. 38 it is said that running away from your problems will never help, and though thats partially true, it doesnt mean that you need to make yourself go so deeply into a situation that you run out of air to breathe and lose the ability to weigh the pros and cons of your choices. that happens more than we like to admit, which is why its important to separate yourself from a situation long enough to think clearly without having people hanging over your shoulders. remind yourself that youre not alone regardless of who or what you depend on, you need to remind yourself that you are not alone; you have people who do care. 39 sometimes its strangers who may share the same feelings as you do. think about ityou may not know any of these readers personally but they could be in the exact same situation as you, so in fact, no one is truly alone. accept the results and get back up again 40 whether the results of your choices proved to be helpful or not, its time for you to accept them and get back up. this time you have a new experience to add to your book of life so the next time something tries to knock you down, it wont be easy because you will be strong and determined to push forward. life will go on, time will never stand still, and it rests upon you to make the right decision of moving forward. a. separate yourself from the situation. b. tell yourself to accept the hardship.c. finally, its time to accept what has happened. d. all in all, remember that life is short. e. not only did i speak to him about how i felt, but i decided to blog about it. f. here are some things ive tried just to help me believe in a brighter future and get over a tough situation. g. even if its just one person, thats enough to give you reason to remind yourself that you will never truly be alone.【答案】36.f37.e38.a39.g40.c【解析】试题分析：文章是一篇心理类的文章。作者就如何度过生活中的艰难困苦，给读者提了四条建议。做题时注意联系标题和段落大意。36.f 所填选项起到承上启下的作用，f项是对下面四个小标题的总结，故选f。37.e 根据小标题可知，第一条建议是把心事说出来；根据“although talking to strangers about your
