said that he usually left his house at about 6:30 am to lift weights, but that day he had meetings scheduled at work and decided to stick around to get his daughter ready for school. as he glanced at his neighbors house, he realized that it was on fire. “i saw smoke and flames and ran over and started beating on the side of the house shouting, your house is on fire! your house is on fire!”, nick remembered. it was about 7:00 am that the firefighters put out the fire. beverly penny and her husband, clark, along with their younger daughters, were sleeping in the living room, next to the kitchen, when they heard nick beating on the walls. she opened the bedroom door and black smoke came in. she managed to get her kids out. her dog tried to hide under the bed, but penny caught it by the leg and threw it out of the door. however, chickens in one of the rooms were not so lucky. firefighters got the call several minutes after the fire. “when we arrived with our fire trucks, there were heavy flames outside on the house,” jerry said. he called nick a hero, saying that without his quick response the result could have been much worse. “the firefighters were fast,” nick said, “they arrived here at 6:40 am.” “they did a great job, and i cant thank them enough,” penny said, then looked at what remained in the house and shook her head as tears rolled down in her eyes. “everything that i have is gone. luckily nobody was hurt in the fire.” she said that the fire could have been caused by an electrical problem. “we have been having problems with mice, so that could have had something to do with it,” she added.21.what do you know about nick? a.he was a firefighter. b.he lives near beverly penny. c.he left his house at 6:30 am that day when the fire happened. d.he was

grocery store also to buy milk. she buys it. but, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. she also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husbands niece. and that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a grocery store. generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. women do many. doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking,” a very popular word these days. now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. a recent study has confirmed what we have known all alongmen and women think differently. scientists at the university of pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. they found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere. in the female brain, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. the left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. the right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side. regina verma is a professor at the university of pennsylvania. she co-wrote the report. she says when women are asked to do something complicated they might use different parts of the brain. but men generally use just one. as a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. there is a strong connection between the “understanding” and the “action” parts of their brains. women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with “reason” and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. women take a less direct path to find a solution. thanks for your listening. im your announcer anna matteo.28.from paragraph 1, we can learn that women . a.are more hard-working than men b.are more multi-tasking than menc.are more careful than men d.go shopping more than men29.when asked to do something complicated, men . a.only use the “reason” side of the brain b.only use the “creative” side of the brainc.use different parts of the brain d.use one part of the brain30.what can be inferred from the passage? a.men like doing something difficult. b.men take a less direct path to find a solution.c.women usually deal with a problem indirectly.d.women brains have more connections on one side.31.the main purpose of the passage is to tell us . a.that men and women really do think differentlyb.who want to go shopping more, men or womenc.why women want to do many things at one timed.that men and women all like to drink milk d you must be surprised to know that ringing rocks do exist. a field of unique boulders (卵石) is in the midst of the 128-acre ringing rocks county park in pennsylvania. spread out across seven to eight acres, the boulders produce an unusual metallic clang(叮当声) when struck with a hammer or another piece of rock. these ringing rocks attract thousands of tourists each year. native americans have known about the rocks for centuries, and passed on their knowledge to the first white settlers in the mid-1700s. the strange phenomenon has baffled scientists and geologists for years. several experiments have been conducted on the ringing rocks, but the exact reason for the unusual sound remains unknown. richard faas, a geologist from pennsylvania, tested a few of the rocks in his lab in 1965. he discovered that when struck, each individual rock produced low frequency tones that arent heard by the human ear. the tones from multiple rocks interact (相互作用) with each other and its the collective sound that we get to hear. faas still couldnt explain why these rocks were so special. they are made of a volcanic matter called diabaseconsisting of iron and other hard minerals like all stones. but something about the composition (成分) makes them different. some other scientists believe that the stress within the rocks is responsible for the ringing. surprisingly, theres almost no vegetation or plant life in the area. not even insects. the 10 foot deep field is hotter than the forest surrounding it and provides very little in terms of food or shelter. a few have claimed that compasses dont work in the area, but no mark of high background radiation and abnormal magnetic fields (磁场) has ever been found. 32.whats the best title of the passage? a.the ringing rocks of pennsylvania b.the forming of the ringing rocks c.a strange natural phenomenon d.the experiments about rocks 33.the underlined word “baffled” in the second paragraph probably means “”. a.disappointed b.puzzled c.amused d.interested34.what did richard faas discover by his experiments? a.each individual rock can let out sound we can hear. b.the stress within the rocks probably makes them ring. c.the sound of the ringing rock results from many rocks. d.these rocks produce radiation and harmful magnetic field.35.the last paragraph mainly tells us . a.the harm of the ringing rocks b.the temperature of the ringing rocks c.the poor soil around the ringing rocks d.some other very strange things in the area of ringing rocks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。transport is one of the aids to trade. by moving goods from places where they are plentiful to places where they are scarce, transport adds to their value. the more easily goods can be brought over the distance that separates producer and consumer, the better for trade. 36the great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompanied by a big increase in trade. quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big business, drawing supplies from, and selling goods to, all parts of the globe. 37 big city stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs and goods could be delivered to their homes.38 much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if it could not be taken quickly to inland towns. transport has given us a much greater variety of foods and goods since we no longer have to live on what is produced locally. foods which at one time could be obtained only during a part of the year can now be obtained all through the year. transport has raised the standard of living.by moving fuel, raw materials, and even power, for example, through electric cables, transport has led to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have been impossible before. the cheaper and quicker transport becomes, the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carried. poor transport restricts the development of the economy, thus resulting in a low standard of living. 39commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messages and information. 40 in this way, advanced communication systems also help to develop trade.a.transport also prevents waste.b.big factories could not exist without transport.c.without convenient transportation, trade would be on a small scale.d.countries with poorer transport have a lower standard of living.e.cost savings are usually enjoyed by house owners and operators.f.transport in the republic of india is an important part of the nations economy.g.means of communication,like telephones and radio,send information to different parts of the world.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 i have lived in india for years, and recently was traveling from mumbai to jaipur for work.
