Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which has become one of Londons main tourist attractions.Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames and immediately went to hospital. He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process doctors say could be life threatening. He had been drinking only water since September 5.A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attentionIn 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on top of a 25-meter pillar (柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that theyre able to do what they can do,” he said. “They dont realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.”But he seems to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that at times he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.36. It is _ _ for David Blaine to eat food after such a long starvation.A. pleasant B. delicious C. dangerous D. important37. Having spent such a long time in the glass box, he suffered the following EXCEPT that _ _.A. he had become blind B. he had serious back painsC. he lost his sense of taste D. he was in weak health38. Which of the following can best describe David Blaine?A. Serious B. Adventurous C. Smart D. Crazy39. Which of the following is NOT true of David Blaine?A. Blaine immediately went to hospital after he was taken out of his box.B. Blaine was born and brought up in England.C. In Blaines opinion, people can work a wonder. D. Blaine didnt have any food for 44 days. BOnly a small number of office workers have been trained in basic life-saving techniques.Just 33,526 of Londons estimated 3.5 million workers signed up with St Johns Ambulance and the British Red Cross to learn simple first aid last year. The figures coming from a new report show that nine out of 10 people would not know what to do if a colleague was badly hurt, while 72 percent have never attended a first-aid course. Doctors describe the situation as appalling and have called for urgent training in schools and the workplace.Training in first aid should start at an early age and should be taught to everybody at school. First aid is very important because at best it can save lives and at worst it reduces pressure on hospital rooms. Employers get anxious when a worker has had some sort of accident in the office or factory and rush them to the hospital even if all they require is a bandage .Last year 20,000 Londoners were trained in first aid by St Johns Ambulance, the leading provider in life-saving courses, and 13,526 were trained by the Red Cross. According to St Johns Ambulance, four out of five parents do not know how to carry out mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (苏醒). Nick Suggitt, training manager with St John Ambulance, said, “We are training just a tiny part of the number necessary, and only touching the tip of the iceberg. ”“Not enough people know how to save a life, and since many emergencies occur at home or at work, these skills are often needed to save the life of a friend or a family member.”40.The underlined word “appalling” in the passage probably means _.A. surprising B. terrible C. rising D. challenging41. From the passage, we know that the problem lies in the fact that _.A. many people wont provide first aid properly B. many people are unwilling to take the trainingC. most people know nothing or very little about first aidD. 90 percent of people never attend first-aid courses42. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. about 33,526 workers dont know anything about first aidB. many people are rushed to the hospital with only slight injuriesC. mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is quite important for parents at homeD. a number of people are trained 43. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. First-aid Is Very ImportantB. First-aid Training Is Urgently NeededC. Training in First Aid Is ValuableD. Not Enough People Know How to Save a LifeCAfter Jon Corzine suffered serious injuries in a car accident on April 12, many of the reports focused on his failure to wear a seat belt. Its reported that seatbelt use has gone up by 10 percent since 2000, hitting a record 81 percent nationwide in 2006. And the agency reports that safety belts saved about 15,434 lives in 2004. But for some groups, particularly teens and young adults, usage still lags. Sixty-two percent of the 5,135 young people ages 16 to 20 killed when riding in passenger vehicles(交通工具) in 2004 were not wearing safety belts. So if youre the parent of a teen, remind them to fasten up every time they get into a car. Yes, even its just for a short ride and even if theyre in the back seat. And for kids under 13, be sure to follow these safety guidelines (准则). Children from birth until age 1 or under 20 pounds should ride in the back seat in a rear-facing（向后） child safety seat. Children over 1 year old and weighing more than 20 pounds can ride in a forward-facing child safety seat in the back seat. All children who have outgrown child safety seats should be properly put in booster seats (幼儿加高座位) until they are at least 8 years old or 4 feet, 9 inches tall. Once children outgrow their booster seats, they can use an adult seat belt in the back seat as long as it fits properly. New rules require manufacturers(制造商 )to start using “smart” air bags for all 2007 cars. The new air bags are constructed so that they dont injure smaller passengers in the front seat. 44. In 2000 about _ percent people use seat belts nationwide. A. 10 B. 71 C. 81 D. 91 45. The underlined word “lags” in Paragraph 1 means _. A. develops slowly B. moves very quicklyC. holds still D. slows down46. According to the safety guidelines, we can learn that _.A. children can never use an adult seat belt in the back seatB. when the children are in the back seat of the car, they neednt wear a seat beltC. a 2-year-old child can ride in a forward-facing child safety seat in the back seatD. the smaller passengers in the cars with new air bags wont have danger47. What can we infer from the passage?A. Jon Corzine was putting the seat belt on when the accident happened.B. You dont have to wear a seat belt when you are just going for a short ride. C. 62% of the young people were killed when riding in passenger vehicles in 2004.D. Teens and young adults should always remember to wear seat belts.D Its 2035. You have a job, a family and youre about 40 years old. Welcome to your future life. Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror, “Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronic are rearranged（重新设置） in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe that you are 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. Youre not even middle-aged. As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your cereal（谷类 ）breakfast into a bowl, you hear: “To lose weight, you shouldnt eat that,” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appear on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies. “Ready for your trip to space. You ask your son and daughter.” In 2005 only specially trained astronauts went into space. and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacation. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advices, vaccination shots（疫苗注射） are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door. Its time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office. Autopilot（自动驾驶）.” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video films rather than read it. 48. What changes the color of your shirt? A. The mirror. B. The shirt itself. C. The counter. D.The medicine. 49. How do the shoes know that you shouldnt eat the breakfast cereal? A. By pouring the breakfast into a bowl. B. By listening to the doctors advice. C. By testing the food supplies in the kitchen. D. By checking the nutrition details of the food. 50. The strawberries the children eat serve as _. A. breakfastB. lunchC. vaccines D. nutrition 51. How is the text organized? A. In order of time B. In order of character. C. In order of preference. D. In order of importance. EAt one time it was the dream of many little girls to become a nurseToday, however, America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I. Recently about 2, 000, 000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages large enough to threaten（= say that you will hurt somebody ff they dont do what you want）the quality of care provided. The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field.What has become of these women in white? The answer lies in not one but several causes.One possibility is the fact that woman have greater career options （职业选择）. In the past, women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices: nursing or teaching. Today, more women than ever are in the work force, but their options have greatly increased. There are women doctors, lawyers, firefighters and police officers. In fact, women today are found in nearly every field of work. Nursing has been left behind, as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status（地位）。 A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as “merely a nurse”. Teachers may be also at fault. Many high school students are actually being steered （劝 导）away from nursing, told by teachers that they are “too bright to be a nurse”.Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention. In fact, the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years. Obviously a larger population requires more nurses. AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care. Usually fatal diseases mean long drawn - out hospital stay, that is to say, more nurses are needed to care for these patients. It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years.52Why is America facing its worst nurse shortage?A. Because the demand of nurses has been doubled.B. Because more and more women prefer to be teachers and doctors.C. Because women have been provided with many different jobs.D. Because women no longer choose to be nurses.53The passage tells us that high school teachers are at fault for_.A. not mentioning the worst nurse shortage in the USB. introducing jobs with higher pay and greater status to their studentsC. not asking the government to raise the nurses paymentD. persuading the students not to be nurses54The author wrote this passage in order to_.A. describe the unequal treatment of women in the USB. wa
