They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. Most portable (手提式的) kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers.Since fuel, oxygen and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used to cover a small fire.A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel.The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. Fires have been grouped in three classes. Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires. These materials usually help keep the fire on. Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water.35. If a fire breaks out on a bus, which of the follow should be ready there for you to use?A. SandB. Water C. A blanket.D. An extinguisher.36. To cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of _.A. separating the fire B. reducing the heatC. removing the fuel D. cutting off the oxygen37. In choosing how to put out a fire, what should we first be clear about?A. when it breaks outB. how it comes aboutC. what kind it isD. where it takes place38. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Another class of firesB. Another type of extinguishersC. How fires break out.D. How fires can be prevented.CYou have probably heard of the Mozart effect. Its the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search reveals plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozarts music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, well become more intelligent.The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozarts music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.Ill leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesnt make us more intelligent.39. What can we learn from paragraph 1?A. Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.B. Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.C. There are few products on the Internet about Mozarts music.D. There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect.40. The underlined sentence in paragraph3 suggests that .A. people were strongly against the idea B. the idea was accepted by many peopleC. Mozart played an important part in peoples life D. the US government helped promote the idea41. What is the authors attitude towards the Mozart effect?A. FavorableB. Objective C. Doubtful D. Positive42. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Listening to Mozart, necessary? B. What music is beneficial?C. What is the Mozart effect? D. Mozart is a genius.DSometime todayperhaps several timesDick Winter will think about the 19-year-old who saved his life.Because of this young man, Winter enjoys things like friendships, colours, and laughter every day.The young man saved Winters life by signing an organ donor card（器官捐献卡）.“I cant say thank you enough,” Winter said yesterday at a news conference marking the tenth anniversary of the Multi Organ Transplant program at Toronto General Hospital.What Winter knows of the 19-year-old who saved his life is only that he died in a car accident and that his family was willing to honour his wishes and donate his organs for transplantation.His liver（肝脏）went to Winter, who was dying from liver trouble. “Not a day goes by that I dont think of what a painful thing it must have been for them,” Winter said yesterday.“They are very, very special people.”Winter, 63, is fitter now than he was ten years ago, when he got the transplant. He has five medals from the 1995 World Transplant Games in swimming and hopes to collect some more next year in Japan.“At one time, we were probably strange people in the eyes of other people. Now its expected you should be able to go back and do everything you did before, only better.”The biggest change for Winter, however, isnt that he has become a competitive athlete. The biggest change is how deeply he appreciates very little thing about his life now.“I have not time for arguments,” said Winter.“You change everything. Material things dont mean as much. Friendships mean a lot.”Also at yesterdays news conference was Dr. Gary Levy, Winters doctor.Levy said he has bitter-sweet feelings when he looks at Winter and hears of his athletic exploits.Levy knows that for every recipient（接受者） like Winter, there are several others who die even though they could be saved because there arent enough donated organs.“For every year, we have five to 10 people that will never be given the chance that Mr. Winter was given,” Levy said.Levy said greater public awareness and more resources are needed. He noted that in Spain and the United States, hospitals receive $10,000 per donor to cover the costs of the operating room, doctors, nurses and teams to work with the donors families.43. Which of the following is true about the 19-year-old?A. He died of liver trouble.B. He got wounded in a battle.C. He was willing to donate his organs.D. He became a recipient of a prize.44. What do we know about Dick Winter?A. He is becoming less competitive now. B. He is always thinking about his early life.C. He knows all about the young man and his family. D. He values friendships more than material things.45. What would Dr. Levy agree?A. Spanish hospitals have more favorable conditions for organ transplant.B. the Canadian public have realized the importance of organ donation.C. Spanish hospitals received more money from the donors.D. Canadian hospitals now have enough donated organs.46. Whats the authors purpose in writing this article?A. the public should give more support to organ transplant.B. Transplant patients are thankful for the help they receive.C. Transplant can change a patients life greatly.D. It is not easy to get organs for transplant.EBoys schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (阳刚), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to obey a stereotype (刻板模式), a US study says.Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to obey the boy code of hiding their emotions to be a real man.The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls.He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the studys author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with boy-focused approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given hands-on lessons where they are allowed to walk around. Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modem type in which violence and sexism are major themes, James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to obey a stereotype that men should be masterful and in charge in relationships. In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means, the study reported.47. The author believes that a single-sex school would _. A. force boys to hide their emotions to be real men B. help to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boys C. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyD. naturally impress on boys the traditional image of a man 48.
