She was carrying her handbag in one hand and a plastic carrier bag in the other. There was nobody else in the street except two young men. They were standing in a dark shop doorway. One of them was very tall with fair hair, the other was short and fat with a beard. The two young men waited for a few moments, and then ran quickly and quietly towards Mrs. Riley. The tall one held her from behind while the other one tried to seize her handbag.Suddenly Mrs. Riley threw the tall one over her shoulder. He crashed into the other one and they both landed on the ground. Without speaking, Mrs. Riley struck both of them on the head with her handbag and walked calmly away.The two surprised young men were still sitting on the ground when Mrs. Riley crossed the street towards a door with a lighted sign above it. Mrs. Riley paused, turned round, smiled at them and walked into the South West London Judo (柔道) Club. 56. The two young men were standing in a dark shop doorway because .A. they had nothing to do B. they were homeless C. they were waiting for a victim D. they were guarding the shop 57.

The story tells about an elderly woman who .A. went shopping at night B. was on her way home C. had just left a shopping center D. had a skill of self-defenseBElectric Shocks Can Be FatalGovernment statistics recently showed that in the UK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their home. A smaller number of people are killed after contact with power lines outside the home. Electric shocks can cause a persons heart or breathing to stop, can also cause burns and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic first aid techniques to deal with such emergencies.What to do? If you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, dont touch them! If they are still holding the appliance (家用电器) that has given them shock (e.g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source. Under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hand! If you cant turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper. The victim must remain lying down. If they are unconscious, victims should be placed on their side. But they should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is absolutely necessary. It is essential to maintain the victims body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation(恢复呼吸). Keep the victims head low until professional help arrives. If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.59. What kind of passage is it?A. An advertisement.B. A horror story. C. A news report. D. First aid emergency advice.60. The underlined sentence, “Under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hand!” implies that .A. you should move the appliance that caused itB. you should pick up the appliance and turn off the electricityC. it is very dangerous to touch the appliance with your handsD. it is unnecessary to unplug the appliance with your hands61. When a person has got an electric shock, you should .A. separate the victim from the appliance and let them sit upB. keep the victim warm and help them breathe againC. move the victim onto their side if they have got neck injuriesD. keep the victims head high until professional help arrivesCBRITAIN is a popular tourist place, but tours of the country have pros and cons.

What is journalism? What do news reporters do? Now its time for answers. 67. Journalism is collecting, writing, editing, and presenting news through media such as newspapers, magazines, television, and radio. A person who practices this job is a journalist.68. Usually, reporters, editors, graphic designers (美术编辑) and photographers directly take part in the production of an issue (一期) of a newspaper. Everyone has their own responsibility. A reporter is to gather news and write the reports. He or she does interviews. Sometimes he or she attends press conferences. An editor is the one who reads and corrects the reporters articles and other materials before publication. The graphic designer presents how the newspaper looks. The designer combines images and words in an artful way with computer software. To produce a specific effect, the designers ideas and computer skills are very important. What about those vivid pictures that go with the dramatic stories? Its the job of the photographer, who takes pictures. Some newspapers have columnists (专栏作家). A columnist is a writer. His or her writing appears regularly in the paper under a certain column. 69. The news agency (通讯社) is an organization that gathers and distributes (传播) news. It has top reporters and photographers, and it sells photographs, news analyses, and special features (专题报道) to newspapers worldwide. Reuters in England, Associated Press (AP) in the U.S., Agency France-Press (AFP) in France and the Xinhua News Agency in China are some of the great news agencies.70. Technological development has had great effects on the production of news and newspapers. Since the invention of the telegraph, news agencies have been able to gather news and sell services globally at great speed. Today the data is transmitted even faster by telephone or satellite service. 第II卷 主观题（共两部分,满分40分）第一部分：基础知识（共四大题，满分20）I单词拼写（每小题0.5分，共5分） Luckily, he found supporting evidence from two other deaths l to the cholera outbreak.
