peter johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. mr. johnson took the only escape routethrough the boot(行李箱). mr. johnsons car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at romney marsin, kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” mr. johnson said. “i couldnt force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because i knew water would come flooding in.” mr. johnson, a sweet salesman of sitting home, kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. then he began his struggle to escape. later he said, “it was really a half penny that saved my life. it was the only coin i had in my pocket and i used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. it took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. then mr. johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. fifteen minutes passed by. “it was the only chance i had. finally it gave, but as soon as i moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. i forced the lid down into the mud and jumped out of the ditch.” his hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), mr. johnson got to beckett farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmers wife, mrs. lucy bates. huddled in a blanket, he said, “that thirty minutes seemed like hours.” only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. the vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch. 56. what is the best title for this newspaper article?a. the story of mr. johnson, a sweet salesman b. car boot can serve as the best escape route c. driver escapes through car boot d. the driver survived a terrible car accident 57. which of the following objects is the most important to mr. johnson?a. the hammer.b. the coin. c.the screw. d. the horn. 58. which statement is true according to the passage?a. mr. johnsons car stood on its boot as it fell down. b. mr. johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam. c. mr. johnsons car accident was partly due to the slippery road. d. mr. johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat. 59. “finally it gave” (paragraph 4) means that _. a. luckily the door was torn away in the end b. at last the hammer went broken c. the lock came open after all his efforts d. the chance was lost at the last minute 60. it may be inferred from the passage that _. a. the ditch was along a quiet country road b. the accident happened on a clear warm day c. the police helped mr. johnson get out of the ditch d. mr. johnson had a tender wife and was well attended byou are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. they hit one another hard. at the start they only fight with their fists. but soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. and so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. he is dead！of course he isnt really dead. with any luck he isnt even hurt. why? because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains 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 tool. 61. stuntmen are those who _. a. often dress up as actors b. prefer to lead dangerous lives c. often perform seemingly dangerous actions d. often fight each other for their lives 62. stuntmen earn their living by _. a. playing

he will be covered with a mattress c. his life is unprotected d. his safety is generally all right 64. which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance? a. strength. b.

accidents is high. c. parachutes must be of good quality. d. the cliff is too high. c andreea,18,from romania, sent a photograph of the view from her window and included a brief apology, “sorry, this picture is plain and boring. no one would like it.” at home in new jersey, us, coreen burke,16, clicked on the same image on the internet. she saw a village with its rooftops and walls painted in reds and yellows, a distant chimney(烟囱) giving off smoke. “isnt this amazingly different from my country?” she thought to herself. burke, a teenager with a skill for computers, saw beauty in that photo. she posted it to her blog, outside my window, which features a daily snapshot(快照) of someones window view around the world. the concept is simple: we can all relate to the act of staring through a piece of glass, onto the scene on the other side. “maybe if we understood the way people from all over the world live,” she explained, “we would all get along better than we have been lately.”with a click of a mouse, you can see frederics window in the south of france, looking out on sailboats anchored (抛锚) in a peaceful harbor. or virginias view in canada, a winter scene with trees laced in white.like most high school students, burke has traveled the world. but she says someday she hopes to collect stamps in her passport, starting with greece and india. her recent break was devoted to

country and a pink dot shows their city, if they provide it. the most responses have come from europe estonia, poland, italy, germany and sweden, to name a few. she is crossing her fingers, thinking that shell receive a photo from africa or antarctica, which are unrepresented so far. while shes become a cyber crusader(网络革新者) for appreciating the beauty outside our own windows, get this: she has no windows in her bedroom. she has a nice skylight（天窗）, though.66. what does burke think of the picture she received from andreea?a. boring b. charming c. strange d. plain67. outside my window is a

financial regulators around the world should closely follow the development of the crisis and study its trend and impact.third, strengthen regional financial dialogue and cooperation. members of the eurozone have reached agreement on the basic principles to tackle the financial crisis. we in asia are also exploring the possibility of expanding the size of bilateral currency swap( 互惠外汇信贷)arrangements under the 10+3 framework .fourth, push forward the reform of the international monetary and financial systems. the present crisis has exposed the weaknesses in the existing international financial system and governance structure. it important to do three things in this regard: first, increase the say and representation of developing countries in international financial
