because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. they do this for a living. these men are called stuntmen. that is to say, they perform tricks. there are two sides to their work. they actually do most of the things you see on the screen. for example, they fall from a high building. however, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! but although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. often a stuntman s success depends on careful timing. for example, when he is blown up in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment. naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. they often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. a norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. his parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. in spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. for nowadays there are stuntgirls too！16. the underlined word “stuntmen” in the first paragraph means those who _.a. often dress up as actors b. prefer to lead dangerous livesc. often perform seemingly dangerous actions d. often fight each other for their lives17. stuntmen earn their living by _.a. playing their dirty tricks b. selling their special skillsc. jumping out of high windows d. jumping from fast moving trains18. when a stuntman falls from a high building, _.a. he needs little protection b. he will be covered with a mattressc. his life is endangered d. his safety is generally all right19.which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?a. strength. b. exactness. c. speed. d. carefulness.20. what can be inferred from the author s example of the norwegian stuntman?a. sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman. b. the percentage of serious accidents is high.c. parachutes must be of good quality. d. the cliff is too high.blast nights meteor(流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. according to gabe rothsclild, emerald valleys mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. what they found instead was a sky so brightened by the citys lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“my family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident duane cosby, “we wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”astronomers-scientists who study stars and planets-have been complaining about this problem for decades. they say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. they call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.there is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. this population consists of birds, bats, frogs, snakes, etc. for example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds. according to the international dark-sky association. “100 million birds a year throughout north america die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”countless more animals casualties(伤亡）result from the use of artificial lighting. clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. they worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase persons chances of getting cancer.emerald valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. for years, flagstaff, arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the lowell observatory. similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.21. it happened last night that a. the citys lights affected the meteor watching b. the meteors flew past before being noticed c. the city light show attracted many people d. the meteor watching ended up a social outing22. what do the astronomers complain about?a. meteor showers occur less often than before b. their observation equipment is in poor repair c. light pollution has remained unsolved for years d. their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting23. what is the author concerned about according to paragraph 4? a. birds may take other migration paths b. animals living habits may change suddenly c. varieties of animals will become sharply reduced. d. animals survival is threatened by outdoor lighting24. lighting regulations in flagstaff, arizona are put into effect toa. lessen the chance of getting cancer b. create an ideal observation condition c. ensure citizens a good sleep at night d. enable all creatures to live in harmony25. what message does the author most want to give us?a. saving wildlife is saving ourselves b. great efforts should be made to save energy c .human activities should be environmentally friendly d. new equipment should be introduced for space studycits such a happy-looking library, paintedyellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and shelteredfromthe florida sun by its own roof. about the size of a microwave oven, its pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in palm beach country estates, along the northern boundary of palm beach gardens.its a library built with love.a year ago, shortly after janey henriksen saw a brian williams report about the little free library organization, a wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build asenseof community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “thats what were going to do for ourspringbreak！”son austin, now a 10th-grader, didnt see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. but janey insisted, and husband peter unwillingly got to work. the 51-year-old owner of a ship supplycompanymodified a small wooden house that hed built years earlier for daughter abbies toy horses, and made a door of glass.after adding the librarys final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book，” and making the henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2，500 in the world, theonlylittle free library in palm beach county.they stocked it with 20 or so books theyd already read, a mix ofsciencefiction, reference titles, novels and kids favorites. “i told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again，” said janey, a stay-at-home mom.since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donationsfromborrowers. the library now gets an average of five visits a day.the projectsbestpayoff, says peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “we had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”26.in what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”?a. it owns ayellowroof.b. it stands near a sidewalk.c. it protects book lovers from the sun.d. it uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.27.janey got the idea to build a libraryfrom_a. a visit to brian williamsb. aspringbreak with her familyc. a book sent by one of her neighborsd. a report on a wisconsin-based organization28.the library was built _a. by a ship supplycompanyb. on the basis of toy horsesc. like a mailboxd. with glass29.what can we infer about the signboard?a. it was made by a user of the library.b. it marked a final touch to the library.c. it aimed at making the library last long.d. it indicated the library was a family property.30. the passage tells us that the users _.a. donate books to the libraryb. get paid to collect books for the libraryc. receive thank-you notes for using the libraryd. visit the library over 5 times on average daily笫二节（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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（如需选g，请在答题卡上同时涂ab) tips for cooking on a tight schedulefrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people dont cook more often :ability , money , and time. _31_ .money is a topic ill save for another day .so today i want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spent in the kitchen .here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule : think ahead .the moments when i think cooking is a pain are when im already hungry and theres nothing ready to eat .so think ahead of the coming week .when will you have time to cook ?do you have the right materials already ?
