Their twins-a girl and a boy-were born 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live. “I saw him gasp, but the doctor said it was no use,” Kate said. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn t going to give up easily. ”Still, the couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him. “I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us,” Kate said. “We d resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments. ”Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him. “We were trying to have him,” Kate said. “We explained his name and that he had a twin and how hard we had tried to have him. ”Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again-and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father s finger. The couple s lost boy had made it. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. 21. From what can we tell that Jamie was still alive?A. His heartbeat. B. His pulse. C. His gasp. D. His underweight. 22. Why did the parents lie with the baby boy in one bed?A. The family wanted to stay together and keep warm. B. The family wanted to have their private space. C. The parents were so tired and wanted to rest. D. The parents wanted to spend the last minutes with Jamie. 23. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Premature Twins B. Life-giving Touch C. First-time Parents D. Last Precious Moments BToo often a learner of English who has read one or two classics tries to imitate（模仿）their style. The fact, however, is that style cannot be imitated. Different authors have different styles. They do not try to write the way they write. So the imitation of any style often results in affectation（矫揉造作）. And the result will be till worse if the style imitated is that of a work written a hundred years ago or more. We are of the 21st century, and we should not write the English of the last century. I would advise you not to aim at a special style. Take care to write correct, simple, idiomatic, and clear English, that s all. But imitation is not always bad. Very often it is important to imitate something. Where personal style is out of place, imitation is the only means by which correctness may be secured. In writing an advertisement about something, for example, you have to imitate some such advertisement that you have read. You cannot possibly write a good one if you have never read any, though you may have read very widely in general literature. You will do well to collect a number of short advertisements, formal invitations, announcements, and business contracts, etc. When you have occasion to write one of such, you have simply to do a little imitating and adapting. The following is an ordinary formal invitation:Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Adams request the pleasure of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Williams s company at dinner on Saturday evening, May the seventeenth, at seven o clock, 86 Star Street. This invitation is from Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Adams to Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Williams. Surely, with this piece before you, you can write a new one. You have simply to change the names, the day, the date, the time, and the address. 24. Why is it especially wrong to imitate the style centuries ago?A. Because the language is out of date. B. Because the writers have passed away. C. Because the style is difficult to follow. D. Because the contents are behind the times. 25. What s the author s attitude towards imitation?A. English learners should never imitate others writing style. B. Imitation is the first step for English learners to write articles. C. English learners should imitate formal writing styles like advertisements. D. It is always correct for learners to imitate the classic writing styles. 26. What does the writer most probably do? A. He is a professor in university. B. He is an English teacher. C. He is an English novelist. D. He is a classic translator. CIn 2013 Tallinn（爱沙尼亚首都塔林）became the world s first capital city to offer people free public transport. Last year Estonia（爱沙尼亚）set the aim to become the first country with free public transport nationwide. Buses are now free of charge in 11 of its 15 counties. Tallinn s city government came up with the idea of free transport in2008. Even though the city paid more than 70% of public-transport costs, ticket prices were still too high for poorer people. Crowdedness had also become a problem. Since 1991, the number of people owning cars has doubled. Opponents（反对者）thought the idea unaffordable and critics（批评者）predicted the transport system would become overcrowded and lack money. Surprisingly, public transport has improved, despite a 12millionhit to the system s finances from lost ticket sales. Tallinn s population has grown, leading to an increase in local tax intake. Additional revenue（财政收入）comes from tourists, who still have to buy tickets. The use of public transport in Tallinn has gone up by 10%, while the number of cars in the city has gone down by 10%, meaning less congestion. Now other countries are looking at Estonia s experience. Tallinn officials say they have had interest from France, Sweden, Poland, Italy and Germany. Other places have already introduced free public transport for certain groups or at certain times. In England 1/3 of all bus trips are fare-free especially for pensioners（领养老金者）; Wales runs free travel at weekends to improve tourism. But so far full fare-free travel is rare. The city of Hasselt in Belgium ran free public transport for 16 years before reintroducing fares because of increasing costs. 27. Which of the following places offers full fare-free public transport?A. Hasselt B. Estonia C. Wales D. Tallinn28. What idea did the opponents and critics share about Tallinn s free public transport?A. The government wouldn t have enough money to carry it out. B. It wouldn t help with the city s over crowdedness. C. It would lead to the heavy loss from ticket sales. D. Years later the city would reintroduce fares from people. 29. What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean?A. pollution B. population C. crowdedness D. income30. Why do you think so many countries show interest in Estonia s experience?A. It offers more job opportunities for people. B. It helps to solve the traffic problem in cities. C. It encourages people to stop driving. D. It attracts more tourists to take buses. 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。How to Strengthen Teeth Naturally 31 You can work on strengthening your teeth by getting the right vitamins and minerals in your diet.
