he was a good football player He could also be naughty sometimes so his mother decided Simon should join the army when he was sixteen to teach him some discipline 纪律 She was right Simon really enjoyed army life and became a well respected member However Simon s life was changed forever in 1982 Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands which belong to Britain and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher declared war 宣战 Simon was on board a ship taking troops to the Falklands when it was attacked and set on fire In an act of great heroism Simon tried to save one of his friends from being burnt alive Sadly he failed and was seriously burnt himself At the age of 21 Simon s life seemed over Simon had 70 operations to rebuild his face and body He was so badly burnt that his mother walked past him in the hospital without recognizing her son Simon struggled to call out Mum it s me Simon Hearing his voice his mother broke down in tears Many thought Simon would die but to everyone s astonishment he survived Although he experienced terrible pain Simon never gave up hope After months of treatment Simon slowly started to recover and although he would be terribly scarred 结疤 for the rest of his life he was able to leave hospital This was when the real battle started The physical pain slowly disappeared however the emotional pain became worse Simon started to go out but was wounded by the stares of people who looked at him like he was some kind of freak 畸形的人 He felt like saying I wasn t born like this you know I was injured defending my country It took great courage for Simon to continue 5 to go out Eventually Simon became involved in charity work and met his wife Lucy with whom he has three children Life has never been the same for Simon but his bravery is an example to us all 52 What can we infer from the text about Simon A He succeeded in saving his friend in danger B He became an excellent professional soldier C He didn t get along with other soldiers D He found life in the army very terrible 53 What does the underlined part the real battle started in Paragraph 4 refer to A Fighting against the physical pain B The struggle to come out of hospital C The misunderstanding by Simon s mother D Dealing with people s unfriendly attitudes 54 Which of the following can best describe Simon A Aggressive and strong B Calm and kind C Brave and generous D Strange and selfish B B Mickey Mouse wants to help kids kick the junk food habit The Walt Disney Company announced that it plans to advertise only healthier foods to kid By 2015 all food and drink products that are advertised on its TV channels radio stations and websites will have to meet the company s nutrition standard for limiting calories and reducing fat sodium and sugar Many foods such as fruit drinks candy and snack cakes won t meet the standard First Lady Michelle Obama called it a game changer Disney is doing what no major media company has ever done before in the US and what I hope every company will do in the future This is a landmark 里程碑 because a major media company is taking responsibility for what food they advertise to children says Margo Wootan director of nutrition policy for the Center for Science in the Public Interest This should be a real wake up call to Nickelodeon an American children s channel and the Cartoon Network to do the same But the company will still be able to advertise better for you versions 种类 of products that are not perfectly nutritious Under the new standards breakfast cereals that are advertised will have to contain fewer than 10 grams of sugar in a serving Wootan says That s a good step forward 第 5 页 共 8 页 第 6 页 共 8 页 共 6 but it s not perfectly nutritious Jon Leibowitz chairman of the Federal Trade Commission says Disney is making this move at perhaps some risk of affecting their incomes so that s why we should praise them Food marketing is really important because it shapes the way kids are fed Wootan says If we don t deal with food marketing to kids we don t have any chance of addressing childhood obesity Currently a third of children are overweight putting them at a greater risk for serious health problems At its theme parks Disney began offering healthier kids meals serving carrots and other vegetables fruits low fat milk and yogurt at meals instead of fries and soft drinks 55 The underlined word it in Paragraph 3 probably refers to A the wake up call B the Walt Disney Company C the habit of eating junk food D the nutrition standard in the US 56 What does Margo Wootan think of Disney s new move A He thinks it is a risk B He thinks very highly of it C He thinks it will get wide support D He thinks it will affect their income 57 According to Disney s new standards A soft drinks are not allowed to be advertised B foods that are advertised should be fat free C only perfectly nutritious products can be advertised D foods advertised should contain fewer than 10 grams of sugar 58 What is the main idea of the text A Disney calls for a ban on junk food B Disney aims to help kids lose weight C Disney is to serve healthier food for kids D Disney is to quit taking ads for junk food aimed at kids C C Imagine putting a seed in a freezer waiting 30 000 years and then taking the seed out and planting it Do you think a flower would grow Amazingly scientists have just managed to do something very similar They found the fruit of an ancient plant that had been frozen underground in Siberia for about 31 800 years Using pieces of the fruit scientists successfully cloned 36 more of the plant and grew them in a lab The new flowers have beautiful white petals 花瓣 They are also the oldest flowering plants that researchers have ever revived from a deep freeze This is like creating a dinosaur from tissues of an ancient egg University of California biologist Jane Shen Miller said The plant has a long history back when mammoths an animal like an elephant that lived a long time ago but no longer exist wandered the land It was buried in an underground hole The ground has remained frozen since then 7 The ice age plants look similar to a modern relative called Silence stenophylla But the ancient flowers are slightly different their petals are a bit narrower It s possible that the regrown plants belong to a different species It s important for scientists to know that plant tissues can still be revived after being frozen for a long time That s because many researchers are trying to store the seeds of modern plants by freezing them and then storing them in very big lockers at various spots around the globe The Svalbard Global Seed Vault an underground facility 设施 in Norway stores hundreds of thousands of seeds If a plant becomes extinct scientists could revive it by pulling its seeds from Svalbard or other underground rooms 59 The first paragraph is used to A attract readers attention B summarize the main idea C introduce an argument D give an example 60 What does the underlined word revived in the second paragraph most probably mean A Made something happen B Got something ready C Brought something back D Took something home 61 Many researchers are storing the seeds of modern plants A by spreading them around the world B so that they can research them C by burying them under the ground D in case they die out some day 62 Which of the following is TRUE according to the text A Svalbard Global Seed Vault is located in Russia B The ancient flower dates from the age of mammoths C Scientists have created a dinosaur from an ancient egg D Silene stenophylla and the ancient flower are of the same species D D England became England the land of English speaking people at the beginning of the Middle Ages Before that it had been the home of Iron Age tribes 部落 known as Celts and for a time part of the Roman Empire Then beginning in the 400s AD tribes from the north known as the Engles the Saxons and the Jutes moved in The most famous leader of this time period in England was Alfred the Great Alfred lived in Wessex the kingdom of the West Saxons which was in the southern part of England He was a good leader who made his kingdom stronger He created a system of defenses 防御 called burhs across the country He reorganized the army so that his men had time to fight and time to farm Alfred s efforts protected his people from the Vikings and allowed Wessex to grow Eventually the rulers of Wessex would rule all of England Alfred also made other improvements He made laws for his people He encouraged learning and translated several important books into his Saxon 8 language This was the beginning of the language we call English today Two important pieces of literature 文学 from that time period are the Anglo Saxon Chronicle and Beowulf both written in Old English
