In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didnt have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute. Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic（惊慌）. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips（advice） he had learned to use. He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed where he was. The first thing he did was to find shelter(遮盖物) form the freezing wind and snow. If he didnt, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could. By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldnt lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept. The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldnt find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved. Nicholas might have survived this snowstorm only because of TV shows. He had often watched Grylls survival show Man vs. Wild. Thats where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode(一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned(遗弃) in a wild area and has to find his way out. When Grylls heard about Nicholas amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.24. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A. He got lost. B. He broke his skis.C. He hurt his eyes. D. He caught a cold.25. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?A. He found a shelter. B. He lighted some branches.C. He kept on skiing. D. He built a snow cave.26. On Tuesday, Nicholas .A. returned to his shelter safely.B. was saved by a searcher.C. got stuck in the snowD. stayed where he was27. Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he .A. did the right things in the dangerous situation.B. watched Grylls TV program regularlyC. created some tips for survivalD. was very hard-working C One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon（武器） for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Childrens Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random(随便地). The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle（小猎犬）. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion（朋友） I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the books cover was a beagle which looked similar to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade(树荫) of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion（重聚）, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mothers call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be unbelievably wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but great improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded(授予) a PhD in literature（文学）, and authored(创作) his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.28. The authors mother told him to borrow a book in order to_.A. encourage him to do more walking B. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problem D. make him learn more about weapons29. The book caught the authors eye because_.A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. it reminded him of his own dogC. he found its title easy to understand D. he liked childrens stories very much30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author has become a successful writer. B. The authors mother read the same book.C. The authors mother rewarded him with books. D. The author has had happy summers ever since.31. Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. My Passion（激情） for Reading B. Mums Strict OrderC. Reunion with My Beagle D. The Charm（魅力）of a Book D If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life，new research may come as a shockAccording to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000 joggers（慢跑者） and non-joggers for 12 yearsThe death rates（率） from the sample group suggest that people who jog at a moderate(适合的) pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to dieThe best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hourThe research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggersThe scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉)Over time，this can cause serious injuries Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，“If your goal is to decrease（减少） risk of death and improve life expectancy，jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy（策略）Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful” The implications（含义） of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events，triathlons（三项全能） and long-distance running and cyclingAccording to Jacob Louis Marott，another researcher in the study，“You dont actually have to do that much to have a good impact（影响） on your healthAnd perhaps you shouldnt actually do too much”32The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to“_”Ahard Bregular Cpractical Dflexible（灵活的）33The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to _Asuggest giving up jogging Bshow risks of doing sportsCprovide supportive evidence（证据） Dintroduce the research process（过程）34According to the scientists，why is too much exercise harmful？AIt may injure the heart and arteries BIt can make the body tired outCIt will bring much pressure DIt consumes too much energy35What can be inferred from the text？ ANo exercise at all is the best choice BMore exercise means a healthier lifeCMarathons runners are least likely to die DProper exercise contributes to good health 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。有两项为多余选项。Weight loss is a hard topic.
