Australian farmer who spent seven days up a tree in remote bush land to escape crocodiles Gatty 52 said he was forced to take such drastic action after he accidentally went into a crocodile infested area of Queensland He only had two meat sandwiches to keep him going as crocodiles moved beneath his tree each night until his rescue Gatty said he decided it was safer to hold out for a rescue team than try to make a run for it His problems began after he fell off his horse while out in the northern Australia outback Dazed and bleeding he climbed back on his horse and hoped it would lead him home It was only when he regained his senses he realized that he had been taken into crocodile infested area I had to get off the horse and I fell straight into a crocodile nest he told reporters That frightened me I couldn t go back it was too far and too dangerous so I headed to the nearest high ground and stayed there hoping someone would come and find me before the crocs did Gatty explained how each night two crocodiles would sit at the bottom of the tree staring at him Although Gatty s two sandwiches ran out after three days he was able to get running water during the day and knew rescuers were looking for him as he could see helicopters in the air above his tree If I hadn t seen the crocs circling me and if I hadn t fallen into the croc nest I would have made a push for it But I knew the safest thing was for me to sit and wait he said A chocolate bar given to him by rescuers after being moved to safety by using a winch 卷扬机 was like a gourmet delicious meal he said 56 Gaddy felt when he found himself trapped in the crocodile infested area A panicked but optimistic B nervous and hopeless C upset and regretful D frightened but calm 57 Which of the following did not help Gatty survive the accident A Sandwiches B Running waterC Chocolates D Staying up in a tree 58 What s the right order of the events related to the accident a Gaddy climbed up onto his horse unconscious b Gaddy climbed up a tree and stayed there c Gaddy was moved by a winch to safety d Gaddy fell off his horse accidentally e Gaddy found himself in a crocodile infested area A a d e c b B d a e b c C a d e b c D d e a b c 59 The article can be classified as A a news story B a scientific fictionC a personal essay D a literary report B 6 When you travel in South America you d better pay attention to the following three kinds of dangerous South American animals Piranhas 水虎鱼 Although only a small number of piranhas are considered to be dangerous to humans the red bellied piranha is definitely one of those Evidence has shown that a large group of piranhas can absolutely eat a herd of large animals crossing the river leaving only bones This fish lives in the freshwater streams of South America and they can smell the blood from far away and launch attacks swiftly It is said that they are only dangerous to humans if the water volumes are less and lower Anacondas 水蟒 This South American monster of a creature often appears in the films or your nightmares They have weighed over 230 kilograms It is often considered to be the biggest snake in the world You certainly don t want to get caught alone with this snake due to its method of attacking and killing its victim It is indeed a remarkably different brand of snake type as it regularly coils 缠 绕 around all over its target increasing the pressure until eventually its victim dies Its jaws are powered by large muscles that produce enough power for its over 100 sharp teeth to pass through the thick skin of an crocodile They don t have poison Sometimes they prefer to camouflage themselves so they look like their surroundings and swiftly draw back when humans are near Golden Poisonous Frogs The golden poison frog might be the most deadly of the South American animal which is protected by means of poison This very small frog less than 55 mm in length packs enough punch 效力 to take down a pair of African bull elephants This apparently harmless frog has always been known to have killed people who have touched it directly It s also been noted that chicken and dogs have died by contacting things on which a golden poison frog had wandered In intense colors they normally look attractive to their targets 60 What can we learn about piranhas from the passage A Piranhas are the most dangerous animals B Piranhas like to live in the deep seabed C Piranhas may attack human beings when the water level is low D Piranhas only attack human beings when they cross the river in groups 61 How does an anaconda kill its victim according to the passage A It often uses its poison to kill its victim B It often uses its strength to kill its victim C It kills its victim mainly using its powerful teeth D It kills its victim with the help of other snakes 62 The underlined word camouflage in Paragraph 3 means A hide itself by appearing like the surroundingsB terrify and capture the enemy by making much noise C move around to search for delicious foodD give off harmful gas to kill the targets 63 Chicken and dogs are mentioned in Paragraph 4 to show that A no animals can survive the poison of the golden poison frog B they like to wander along the path of the golden poison frog C the golden poison frog likes eating them most D the poison of the golden poison frog is deadly 7 C D The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places some of the country s most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings Of the 2 500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain almost 100 now have significant contemporary art in corridors waiting areas and treatment rooms These recent initiatives 首创 owe a great deal to one artist Peter Senior who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 5 000 visitors each week What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the outpatients waiting area of the Manchester Hospital in 1975 Believed to be Britain s first hospital artist Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates The effect is striking Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors playful images and restful courtyards The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at 64 The underlined part to soften the hard edges of modern buildings in Paragraph 2 means A to decorate hospitals with art collections B to make the corners of hospital buildings round C to change people s attitude toward hospitals D to replace the old buildings with modern buildings 65 Peter Senior is a n A doctor interested in arts B artist who refuses to hold art exhibitions in hospitals C pioneer in introducing art into hospitals D artist who owns a great deal of property 66 The improvement of the hospital environment seems to be effective in A making it unnecessary to give drugs to patients B helping the modern artists regain their status in society C calling in more talented artists to hospitals D helping patients recovering from illnesses 67 The writer s attitude towards the effect of art exhibitions in hospitals is A suspicious B positive C neutral 中立的 D unfavorable D As you climb into the hill country the roads get dustier and rougher and fewer cars can be seen Phonxay is one of the poorest districts of Laos and 8 many of its villages are only accessible by footpath Our destination this hot morning is a concrete water tank that can be found just off the road A UK organization helped to build it six years ago and in the nearby village of Thapho where clean drinking water is scarce it has made a big difference The tank feeds six taps which in turn give water to over 800 people it has improved things for almost every family from schoolchildren to grannies But lately we were told the clean water supply has come under pressure from new arrivals people who have come down from the hill areas and there are concerns that there will not be enough clean water to go round There are also serious worries about resources in Laos The Chinese are building a 400km railway link which could transform the landlocked country About 150 000 Chinese workers will be involved What will this do to local clean water supplies How will the workers be fed The vast majority of Laotians live on farms But with foreign investors wanting to buy up land local people will have to be moved to make room for them Heavily dependent on both foreign aid and foreign investment Laos still falls well behind its neighbours although its economy has grown at about 6 a year in the last decade Its biggest economic problem is the lack of locally trained skilled workforce But there are reasons to be hopeful for the future Laos is beautiful and foreign tourism continues to grow fortunately so far the fast food chains and coffee bars common elsewhere are nowhere to be seen Although all local media are government run the Internet is not controlled and the BBC and CNN are available to those with satellite dishes The government has also achieved impressive results in rural development with communities benefiting not just from cleaner water but the construction of new schools and regular visits from medical teams Poverty will not be history in Laos within the next decade but with small steps forward and a bit of outside help the country could find itself out of the UN s least developed category by 2020 68 What is putting pressure on the local supply of clean water A Dust from the road is making the water dirtier B There are too many tap
