most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US The first is floods Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year and of those 70 people die That is more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters If you hear the thunder you are in danger from lightning said Rocky Lopes a disaster educator at the American Red Cross Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any time so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended The most important thing to remember is to seek shelter Lopes said Summer is the peak time for lightning storms so when lightning strikes across the sky remember these safety tips Stop working fishing swimming or playing in open fields Do not stand under a tree Get off bicycle and motorcycles Crouch down 蹲下 if there is no shelter Avoid open spaces wire fences metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers 26 In the US is the most common cause of deaths during natural disasters A lightning B tornadoes C hurricanes D floods 27 Of

stand still in the open spaces B find shelter to hide in 用心 爱心 专心4 C stand under the tree D stop working in the fields 29 Which of the following is NOT true A Floods are the most common cause of deaths in the US B Less than 70 people are killed by tornadoes and hurricanes each year in the US C People don t pay as much attention to the danger of hurricanes as that of floods D If you hear the thunder you should move indoors right away 30 Which of the following is the best title A The Danger of Lightning B Some Safety Tips against Floods C How Lightning Happens D 5 People Killed by Lightning in Nepal B Foxes and farmers have never got on well These small dog like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside with a group of specially trained dogs followed by men and women riding horses When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers and follow strict codes of behaviour But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive so most hunters are wealthy It is estimated that up to 100 000 people watch or take part in fox hunting But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting because they think it is cruel has risen sharply Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt saboteurs 怠工者 Sometimes these incidents lead to violence but mostly saboteurs interfere with 妨碍 the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox s smell which the dogs follow Noisy conflicts between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport A Labor Party Member of the Parliament Mike Foster is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal If the law is passed wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain 31 Rich people in Britain

prohibit farmers from hunting foxes B forbid hunting foxes with dogs C stop hunting wild animals in the countryside D prevent large scale fox hunting 35 It can be inferred from the passage that A killing foxes with poison is illegal B limiting the fox population is unnecessary C hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent D fox hunting often leads to conflicts between the poor and the rich C When 7 year old Warren Buffett said I will be the richest man one day his friends made fun of his daydreaming But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money by selling drinks delivering newspapers and buying stocks The American had already earned 9 000 equal to 90 000 today by the time he graduated from high school And this month the 78 year old man who earned his fortune by making a lot of sound investment in the stock market took the place of Microsoft founder Bill Gates as the world s richest man Gates worth declined 1 5 billion to 55 5 billion in 33 days after the recent financial storm according to Forbes Magazine Buffett the only son of a stockbroker was ready to think outside the box to develop his business from a very early age At 8 he went to golf courses collecting and selling the used balls At 11 when he sold soda pop door to door with a friend the pair collected lids on streets to judge which flavor was the most popular As a paper boy during high school Buffett delivered two competitor papers so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions he could still make a profit from the other With his paper delivery savings Buffett bought 162 000 square meters of farmland and collected rent Young Buffett stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only 5 The experience taught him one of the virtues in investing patience After graduating from university Buffett started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends He researched the stocks and just bought 用心 爱心 专心6 those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca Cola Buffett has become rich Learning is important to Buffett s success He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading He keeps learning from books street smarts and investigation from both success and failure In this way he over achieved his aptitude 能力 said Charlie Munger his longtime business partner 36 The passage is mainly about A why Buffett took the place of Bill Gates as the world s richest man B what effect Buffett s childhood experiences had on his success C how Buffett earned his fortune and achieved his aptitude D what Buffett dreamt about when he was a child 37 Which of the following is true about Buffett A His worth is more than 55 5 billion now B He is next to Bill Gates in wealth at the present time C He achieved great success on stepping into the stock market D He bought 162 000 square meters of farmland by selling soda pop 38 How did Buffett behave at the stock market A He often prefers some inexpensive stocks B He will buy the stock whose price is lower than its value C He always borrows money from his friends to buy stocks D He will sell the stock if its price doesn t go up 39 Which is the main factor that determines Buffett s success A His education B His family background C His desire to learn D His cooperation with his partner 40 What can we infer from the passage A Buffett is an immediate success in the stock market B Buffett and Gates are business partners C His father helped him a lot in his business D Buffett has a good sense of business D Quit while you re ahead I am one of those people who are terrible at saying no I take on too many projects at once and spend too much of my time doing things I d rather not be doing I get stuff done but it s not always the best I can do or the best way I could spend my time That s why my newest goal both as a professional and a person is to be a quitter Being a quitter isn t being someone who gives up who doesn t see important things through to the end I aspire 渴望 to be the opposite of that The quitter I want 用心 爱心 专心7 to be is someone who gets out when there s no value in what he s doing or when that value comes at the expense of something more important A friend of mine once told me I knew I was an adult when I could stop reading a book even after getting 500 pages into it Odd though it sounds we all tend to do this We get involved in something realize we don t want to be a part of it but keep on going We say Well I ve already invested so much time in this I might as well stick it out I propose the opposite quit as often as possible regardless of project status or time invested If you re reading a book and don t like it stop reading Cut your losses realize that the smartest thing to do is to stop before your losses grow even more and quit Instead of reading an entire book you hate read half of a bad one and half of a good one Isn t that a better use of your time Step back for a second Let s learn how to say no at the beginning or in the middle and free up more of our time to do the things we d like to be doing and the things actually worth doing Saying no is hard and admitting a mistaken yes is even harder Both if we do both we ll start to make sure that we re spending our time creating value rather than increasing our losses Let s be quitters together 41 The author wants to be a quitter because he A wishes to have more time for relaxation B hopes to improve his personality C expects to make more efficient use of his time D has found it hard to do several things at one time 42 The underlined phrase at the expense of in paragraph 3 probably means A at the end of B at the cost of C at the age of D at the back of 43 In what circumstances does the author suggest quitting is a good idea A When you know a task cannot be finished B When you feel tired and need a rest C When you meet with difficulties along the way

wasted so much time C you should finish a book that you have started D you should regret choosing the wrong book 45 The message the author tries to convey is to A learn to say no B live your life to the fullest C create more value D stop doing many things at once 第二节第二节 信息匹配 共信息匹配 共 5 小题 每小题小题 每小题 2 分 满分分 满分 10 分 分 用心 爱心 专心8 阅读下列应用文及相关信息 并按照要求匹配信息 请在答题卡上将对应题 号的相应选项字母涂黑 首先阅读以下寻物启事 A Scott I lost a
