Police!” said Director Eileen AgostaThey were in the middle of the scene when some policemen ran over, shouting orders to get on the ground, pointing rifles（步枪）at the crew, actor Chris Borden saidMembers of the crew were cuffed（上手铐）and held on the ground until the situation was sorted outBorden said he believes the only reason the police didnt shoot him was because they saw a cameramanMajJustin Smith, a police officer, said they received a call from someone at the lake and then raced to the park, blocking roads and came quietly up to the scene“The police didnt rush into the situation and make a potentially bad situation worse,” said CplScott Shellhaas, spokesman of the county“It was complete ignorance on my part,” said Agosta“I honestly thought you could tell what we were doing I wouldnt have chosen a state park at 3:30(pm) on Saturday if I was going to hurt somebody”Authorities said the scene they saw was realistic enough- a woman handcuffed to a car, a man beating another man with a pistol（手枪）, people injured and bloodied and someone with a small video camera filming the event“It is certainly not beyond belief there days that individuals do videotape crimes as they commit them,” said Smith“Having a video camera there did not necessarily mean there was not a crimeThey should have informed us about the filming and the fact that they would be using a false handgun during the shoot”41The underlined word “simulation” most probably means _Aa misunderstanding created during the course of communicationBthe activity of producing conditions which are similar to real onesCan example of dealing with cruel criminals in a wise wayDthe scene of taking a hostage by one or several cruel criminals42The incident in the passage took place _Aon a cold morning Bearly in the eveningCon a weekday Dat the weekend43What do you think of the polices action in the incident?AThey made the whole situation worseBThey were to blame for the misunderstandingCThey acted senselessly in the whole affairDThey were quick but acted calmly44Which of the following tells the right order of what happened?aSome policemen arrived at the scenebMembers of the film crew were handcuffedcA crew of actors were shooting a filmdThe police received a telephone calleThe police sorted out the situationAc, d, a, b, e Bd, c, a, e, b Ca, b, d, c, e Da, e, b, d, c45The underlined word “them” refers to _Athese days Bmembers of the film crewCindividuals Dthe crimesBWhen Kim Bogue accidentally threw her wallet away with her lunch leftovers, she had little hope that shed recover the $ 900 and the credit cards insideWith a team of co-workers, she twice searched the Santa Ana civic（市民的）building where she works as a doorwoman, but found nothing“ I was sick all weekend,” said Bogue, who was saving the money for a trip to her native ThailandThat same weekend, a homeless man came to the Santa Ana civic buildings and he was also searching for somethingHe made his routine visit to the dustbins nearby to look for aluminum cansInstead, he found Bogues walletThat Monday, the man, who declined to be identified, gave the money to Sherry Wesley who works in one of the buildings“He came to me with the wallet wrapped in a plastic bag and said This probably belongs to someone that you work with, can you return it?” Wesley saidGrateful, Bogue gave the man a $ 100 reward, which he split with WesleyShe gave the money to her churchWhile the money would serve as a tempting find, especially for a homeless man, Wesley said the mans actions did not surprise her“I know he has got the biggest heart,” she said“Somebody like that who is so down on their luck and willing to help someone out is a rare thing”The man is familiar to many employees in the area, even though not everyone knows his nameThe 6-foot-5-inch man could frighten most people, but he has a friendly and polite natureHe greets people throughout the day and often speaks to Wesley, who serves food to the homeless community on Sundays with the Homeless Coalition of Orange County“Every Sunday he always gives us a few dollars for lunch even though its freeHe says, You always bless me and I want to bless you back,” she said46Kim Bogue lost her wallet _Abecause of her sicknessBbecause of her absent-mindednessCwith secret intentionDcasually but deliberately47What can we learn about Kim Bogue?AShe never doubted of getting the wallet backBShe is from the country of ThailandCShe fell ill when she was having lunchDShe asked Wesley to give the man $ 10048The homeless man _Asearched the dustbins nearby regularlyBreturned the wallet to Bogue directlyCtold Sherry Wesley his identityDtook $ 100 as a reward from the loser49Which of the following is not proper to describe the homeless man?ANoble-minded BTall CLucky DHonest50The passage mainly tells us about _Aa homeless man who returns a wallet with $ 900Ba doorman who recovered her walletCSherry Wesley, who works in the Santa Ana civic buildingsDtwo women in the Santa Ana civic buildingsCSEATTLE - As the pack ice that is the bedrock of their existence melts because of global warming, polar bears are facing great environmental stress that will cause their numbers to drop, according to a report by several of the worlds leading specialists on the speciesIn a closed meeting last month in Seattle, 40 members of the polar bear specialist group of the World Conservation Union concluded that the animals the worlds largest bears should now be classified as t “vulnerable（脆弱的）” speciesTheir conclusion was based on what they said was a likely 30 percent decline in their worldwide population over the next 35 to 50 yearsThere are now 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears across the Arctic“The principal cause of this decline is climatic warming,” according to a statement of the meetingScientists from five countries attended the meeting“All the evidence is heading in the same direction, and the trend is dramatic,” said Scott Schliebe, who led the Seattle meeting and is polar bear project leader in Alaska for the US Fish and Wildlife Service” In a shrinking ice environment, the ability of the bears to find food, to reproduce, and to survive will all be reduced”Schliebe said that he was speaking for the panel（专门小组）and not for the US governmentThe panels conclusions became public this week as President Bush traveled to the Group of Eight meeting in Scotland, where US officials have tried to prevent any specific targets for reducing so-called greenhouse gases from being included in the meetingThose gases are widely believed to cause the warming that causes polar icecaps to meltThe United States is the only G-8 member that has refused to permit the Kyoto Protocol（京都议定书）, which calls for reducing poisonous gases that many scientists say are causing Earth to warm upThe best information on the effect of global warming on polar bears comes perhaps from the western coast of Hudson Bay, in ManitobaIt found a 17 percent decline in the bears population in the past 10 years, from 1,200 to fewer than 1,000The panel in Seattle used the Canadian research as a basis for its warning about the future of polar bears around the world“We have seen with our own eyes that climatic warming is causing the ice to break up earlier,” said Ian Stirling, a scientist for the Canadian Wildlife ServiceIce is melting there about three weeks earlier than it did 30 years ago“For a polar bear, not all weeks are created equal,” Stirling said“ They are losing three weeks t the best time of the year for feeding on the ice, when little seals are abundant and bears put on fat that they store for the four months that they have live onshore”51The reason why the number of polar bears will drop is that _Apolar bears are becoming smaller in sizeBpolar icecaps are meltingCpolar bears are suffering from air pollutionDpolar bears are forced to move52Which of the following statements is TRUE about polar bears?AThey are the largest animal in the worldB30 percent of them have died in the last 35 to 50 yearsCThere are 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears nowDTheir ability to survive is being reduced53We can infer from the passage that_AHudson Bay lies in CanadaBthe United States is the only G-8 memberCUS wants to reduce greenhouse gasesDLSchliebe was speaking for the US government54The underlined sentence “ For a polar bear, not all weeks are created equal” means _Adifferent polar bears play different roles in their life in a yearBsome weeks are the best time for polar bears to survive and growCpolar bears have missed the best time of the yearDpolar bears play different parts at different times on the ice55Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?ABad Effects of Global WarmingBThe population of Polar Bears on EarthCNo More Greenhouse GasesDExperts Predict Polar Bears Decline第二节：信息匹配请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，平按照要求匹配信息。首先，请阅读下列职位招聘的信息：APart-time caf assistant: This role consists of 23 shifts a weekMust have bartender and waiting experienceFluent English requiredOur caf seats 12 and we are open for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, 7 days a weekWe are also open for private dinners so some extra evening work is availableBWe require an experienced and responsible driver over 25 years old with a full clean UK driving license to deliver goods in and around LondonApplicants must have a full permit for working in UKWorking hours 7 am3 pm, MonSatPay will be 250 per weekPlease call Robin on 07932 818257 daily until 5pmCA school in South-East London (Bromley) is seeking a maths teacherThey require someone with sound knowledge of the UK Curriculum and a strength in classroom managementYou must have a Maths Teaching QualificationDFun person required (20 yrs and over) who enjoys children and playing but can also be strict when required -
