Worried shoppers rushed to stores and supermarkets in the country for salt, with the belief that it might protect them from potential nuclear radiation spreading from Japan.Many rushed to buy to stores as much iodized salt as possible because of the rumor that iodized salt could help prevent radiation poisoning spreading from Japans Fukushima Daiichi power plant. Consumers also worried that the nuclear plumes might spread to China by air and sea, polluting food sources, including salt taken from the sea.The wave of panic buying spread quickly across the country, driving up salt prices by five to ten fold in some cities.Even regions rich in salt production, like Jiangxi Province，faced sudden shortages.The government took measures to guarantee enough supply and to stabilize（稳定）the market. It also dismissed the nuclear rumors, saying the nuclear fallout was unlikely to reach the country, and that salt did not help to prevent radiation poisoning.Local authorities have stepped in to stabilize the market, too. As well, state-owned salt companies have been urged to increase their supply.Facing expanding market demand, distribution centers have taken extra measures to ensure they are well-prepared.Wang Yun, the General Manager of Beijing Salt Industry Corporation, said, Our storage reserves can guarantee a two-month supply for the Beijing market.36People made panic purchases of salt for the reasons EXCEPT_.A. salt might protect them from potential nuclear radiation. nuclear radiation might pollute food sourcesC. nuclear radiation might pollute salt taken from the seaD. there would be a shortage of salt on the market37The underlined word “fold” in the third paragraph means _.A. times . prices C. quantities D. means38What measures did the government take for the panic buying?A. Enough salt would be offered to each house. It admitted that salt could stop nuclear radiation.C. Authorities urged state-owned salt companies to increase the supply.D. Those who spread the rumor were all arrested and punished.39What is the purpose of the writer to give the example of Beijing Salt Industry Corporation?A. To tell readers that there is a salt company in beijing. . To make people believe that the supply of salt is enough.C. To call on panic people to buy enough salt.D. To prove what the government did was right. Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero. That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someones life? Today I looked up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave” and also “a person who is good and noble”.That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero. The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become heroes. 40. The main idea of the passage is _. A. why the writer should be a hero . what a hero exactly is C. whether the writer is a hero D. that everyone is a hero 41. Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?A. ecause his story saved her sons life. . ecause he saved a family from a burning car.C. ecause he asked her son not to kill himself. D. ecause he was cute and kind to everybody.42. What does the underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The wonderful card the writer received。 . The action of sending the card。 C. The fact that the sender helped the writer。 D. The fact that the sender was a friend of the writer。43. According to the writer, who can be considered as a hero? A. A person who is brave. . A person who writes wonderful stories. C. A person who can hold a door for others. D. A person who helps someone in trouble. CThe Lusitania was a luxury ocean ship that sailed the Cunard Lines Liverpool. She was the largest ship at that time. With a total of seven decks，it was estimated that over 200,000 people gathered to witness her departure on her first voyage. The Lusitania set off on her last voyage in May 1915, from Pier 54 in New York with about 1,959 people on board. It was reported that foodstuffs, metal rods, and ingots were loaded on its cargo. She sailed approximately thirty miles from Cape Clear Island to the coast of Co. Cork, Ireland where she got stuck in fog, had to reduce speed, and crossed the path of a German U-boat. Not realizing the ship was just a civil one, the U-boat fired on the Lusitania, striking her under the bridge, and as a result, there was a second much larger explosion which caused the ship to bend heavily to her starboard. The ships captain ordered all the people to abandon the ship. However, there were serious problems of launching the lifeboats: out of the total of 48, only six were successfully launched. The Lusitania sank in less than twenty minutes, eight miles off the Old Head of Kinsale.Similar to the Titanic, she sank with her back part almost fully perpendicular(垂直的)to the water. Of those on board, 761 were rescued, but 1,198 people died with her, including 100 children. The rescue operation was led by Vice Admiral Sir Charles Henry Cooke, the naval commander at Queenstown.It was a serious sea disaster that shouldnt have taken place. After that, countries all over the world began to consider the safety of commercial ships.44.

The Sinking of the Lusitania . The Lusitania and the Titanic C. A Serious Sea Disaster Made on Purpose D. A Serious Accident on Sea DLondon has become a cycle friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme. It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London.So how does it work？First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes，which are kept at docking stations in and around central London. You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go，for the length of time you use the bike.Transport for London，which runs the scheme，are hoping to have 6，000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year. The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion (拥挤)in London and is expected to create up to 40，000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre. London Mayor oris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been “filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses”.However，there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday. On the first day some people found they couldnt dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not registered. Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few “teething problems” and have said they wouldnt charge for the first day as a “gesture of goodwill”. Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.Despite the comments，the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things，saying，“My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big pedal-powered push forwards.”48. London Mayor boris Johnston launched the new bike scheme in order to _.A. reduce the air pollution of the city . encourage the citizens to take exercisesC. deal with the citys traffic problemsD. increase employment opportunities49.If you want to hire a bike, in which order will you do？a. pay for the bike according to the time you use it b. pay for the key to a bikec. cycle in and around central London d. sign up as a member to get a keyA. b-d-c-a . b-c-a-d C. d-c-b-a D. d-b-c-a50.All the following are the problems of the scheme EXCEPTA. the high cost to hire a bike . not registering their usage of the bikes C. not charging for the first day of the scheme D. docking the bikes properly51. From the passage we can infer that .A. the London Mayor is confident in the scheme. the scheme will be cancelled because of the problemsC. all the citizens in London support the schemeD. the cycling revolution is not successfulE You probably sort paper, plastic, and household metal on a daily basis but what about the tough stuff? There are reasons to go beyond the usual recycling: Unwieldy（笨重的） household wastes take up tons of space in landfills. Worse, items such as computers and cell phones leach（过滤） dangerous materials like mercury（水银） and lead into nearby water supplies. Now, thanks to environmental groups, retailers（零售商）, and people nationwide, doing the right thing is a lot easier. Heres how. Computers Give to a charity. If you have a computer or a component（组件） that still works, contact Share the Technology (), which will match you with a nonprofit organization that needs equipment. If the computer isnt working, take it to a recycling center or a traveling electronics recycling fair. To locate a center in your area or to find out when a fair will visit your city, go to the Web site for Earth 911 (), click on Electronics, and put in your zip code.Cell phones National programs like Donate a Phone and Collective Good accept used phones and resell them, giving the proceeds to charities.
