阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）a last friday, at least 5 people were killed by lightning in nepal. lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the us. the first is floods. around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 70 people die. that is, more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes. because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters. if you hear the thunder, you are in danger from lightning, said rocky lopes, a disaster educator at the american red cross. thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any time, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended. the most important thing to remember is to seek shelter, lopes said. summer is the peak time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips: stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields. do not stand under a tree. get off bicycle and motorcycles. crouch down (蹲下) if there is no shelter. avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers. 26. in the us, _ is the most common cause of deaths during natural disasters. a. lightning b. tornadoes c. hurricanes d. floods27. of the people who are struck by lightning every year in the us, about _ people are lucky enough to survive. a. 400 b. 70 c. 330 d. 528. if you hear the thunder, the most important thing you should do is to _. a. stand still in the open spaces b. find shelter to hide in c. stand under the tree d. stop working in the fields29. which of the following is not true? _. a. floods are the most common cause of deaths in the us. b. less than 70 people are killed by tornadoes and hurricanes each year in the us. c. people dont pay as much attention to the danger of hurricanes as that of floods. d. if you hear the thunder, you should move indoors right away.30. which of the following is the best title? _. a. the danger of lightning b. some safety tips against floods c. how lightning happens d. 5 people killed by lightning in nepalb foxes and farmers have never got on well. these small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. they are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them. farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. when the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it. people who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behaviour. but owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy. it is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. but over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is cruel, has risen sharply. nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt saboteurs (怠工者). sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with (妨碍) the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the foxs smell, which the dogs follow. noisy conflicts between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. but this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. a labor party member of the parliament, mike foster, is trying to get parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. if the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in britain. 31. rich people in britain have been hunting foxes _. a. for relaxation b. in the interests of the farmers c. to limit the fox population d. to show off their wealth32. what is special about fox hunting in britain? _. a. it involves the use of a deadly poison. b. it is a costly event which rarely occurs. c. the hunters have set rules to follow. d. the hunters have to go through strict training.33. fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game _. a. by resorting to violence b. by confusing the fox hunters c. by taking legal action d. by demonstrating on the scene34. a new law may be passed by the british parliament to _. a. prohibit farmers from hunting foxes b. forbid hunting foxes with dogs c. stop hunting wild animals in the countryside d. prevent large-scale fox hunting35. it can be inferred from the passage that _. a. killing foxes with poison is illegal b. limiting the fox population is unnecessary c. hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent d. fox-hunting often leads to conflicts between the poor and the richcthey once seemed more at home on the bustling streets of asia like delhi, calcutta and bangkok but cycle-powered rickshaws can now be seen taking people across town in many european cities.many people believe that rickshaws are a good way of experiencing a city close-up, while also cutting down on traffic jams and pollution. in berlin, one of the first cities to introduce this new mode of transport, more than 200 bike-taxis go along 15 km per hour, past many tourist attractions and city parks. it is completely environmenatally friendly; we have new models with an engine to help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy, said a spokesman for velotax, the leading rickshaw company which has carried a quarter of a million people this year. while the city still has 7,000 motor-taxis, rickshaw company officials say their taxis green ethics,speed and safety make them more than just a tourist attraction. while now increasingly out of fashion in delhi, berlin people have eagerly accepted the new fleet since their launch in 1997. its better than a taxi, better than a bus, better than the train, said ulflehman, 36, as he leapt out.of a rickshaw near the world famous brandenburg gate. it feels so free. this is something out of the ordinary you feel you are on holiday in bangkok instead of berlin,said another traveler. in amsterdam, driver peter jancso said people like to be driven around in his bright yellow rickshaw and pretend to be a queen in a golden carriage. i like my passengers to feel important, he said as he dropped another passenger. another visitor noted how cheap it was compared with a normal taxi. although increasingly popular in europe, it is the opposite in india, where hand-pulled rickshaws are considered inhuman and a symbol of indias backward past. nearly 500 bike-rickshaws are running in london and are not required to pay the citys road tax but things may change as other taxi drivers complain of unfair treatment.36. where are rickshaws becoming more popular? _. a. delhi, berlin, paris. b. amsterdam, bangkok, delhi. c. athens,london, berlin. d. berlin, amsterdam, london.37. why are rickshaws no longer as widely used in india as in the past? _. a. they are a reminder of a bad period in indias history. b. they have been banned because they are too cruel. c. the streets of india are too crowded for them to move through easlly. d. indians now prefer to travel by car because they are richer.38. what does the underlined sentence this is something out of the ordinary you feel you are on holiday in bangkok instead of berlin(para.6) suggest? _. a.the passenger didnt like taking a rickshaw as it reminded him of bangkok. b. the passenger enjoyed being on holiday in berlin more than in bangkok. c. the passenger was impressed when taking a rickshaw and considered it unusual. d. the passenger disapproved of rickshaws because they were not original to berlin.39. which of the following is mentioned in the text? _. a. rickshaws may need to pay tax for causing traffic jams. b. rickshaws and taxis are treated differently in london. c. rickshaws will eventually take the place of taxis. d. rickshaws will always be a cheap means of transport.40. what is the authors attitude towards rickshaws? _. a. he gives no personal opinion. b. he believe they will be of no use. c. he thinks they will reduce pollution. d. he thinks they are old-fashioned.d in the kitchen of my mothers houses there has always been a wooden stand with a small notepad and a hole for a pencil. im looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book i am recommending to my mother. over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later,the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. surely it cant be the same pencil the pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one. im just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years. i say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. you still use a pencil. cant you afford a pen? my mother replies a little sharply. it works perfectly well, ive always kept the stand in the kitchen. i never knew when i might want to note down an idea, and i was always in the kitchen in these days., immediately i can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. my mother smiles and says, one day i was cooking and watching baby pauline, and i had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. one of the children must have taken the paper. so i just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back, it turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem i was working on. this story, which happened before i was born, reminds me how extraordinary my mother was,and is also a gifted mathematician. i feel embarrassed that i complain about not having enough child-free time to work. later, when my mother is in the bathroom, i go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks i recognize as mathematics. those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible exhibits at every meal.41. why has the authors mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen? _. a. to leave messages. b. to list her everyday tasks. c. to note
