A
Lisa was running late. Lisa，25，had a lot to do at work，plus visitors on the
way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she
hurried down the subway stairs， she started to feel uncomfortably warln. By the time
she got to the platform，Lisa felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to
give blood the night before，she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the
tracks.
Several yards away，Frank，43，and his girlfriend，Jennifer，found a spot
close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a
house they were thinking of buying.
But when he heard the scream，followed by someone yelling，“Oh，my
God，she fell in!” Frank didn’t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some
第2页 | 共9页40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you! ”his girlfriend screamed
after him.
She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa，he could feel the
tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the
station.
It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet
to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from
the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being
pulled along the ground，and saw someone else holding her purse.
Lisa thought she’d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his
shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she
couldn’t，and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.
Police and fire officials soon arrived，and Frank told the story to an officer.
Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40一minute train ride downtown—just
as he had been seconds after the rescue，which made her think about her reaction at
the time. “I saw the train coming and 1 was thinking he was going to die，”she
explained.
41. What was the most probable cause for Lisa’s weakness?
A. She had run a long way.
B. She felt hot in the subway.
C. She had done a 1ot of work.
D. She had donated blood the night before.
42. Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?
A. Because they would miss their train.
B. Because he didn’t see the train coming.
C. Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift.
D. Because she was afraid the train would kill him.
43. How did Frank save Lisa?
A. By lifting her to the platform.
B. By helping her rise to her feet.
C. By pulling her along the ground.
D. By dragging her away from the edge.
44. When did Lisa become conscious again?
A. When the train was leaving.
B. After she was back on the platform.
C. After the police and fire officials came.
D. When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.
45. The passage is intended to _____________
A. warn us of the danger in the subway
B. show US how to save people in the subway
C. tell US about a subway rescue
D. report a traffic accident
B
We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.
第3页 | 共9页“You could win prizes，’’our teacher told US as she wrote the poster
information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while
continuing，“The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words
on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster. ”
We studied the board critically. Some of US looked with one eye and held up
certain colors against the blackboard，rocking the sheets to the fight or left while we
conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their
erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten—dollar grand prize，each
and every one of US. I'm going to spend mine on candies，one hopeful would
announce，while another practiced looking serious，wise and rich.
Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper
napkins， while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of US used
big designs，and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one comer of
our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it. Some of US would
wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a
growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the soil they
seemed especially fond of。making all of US believe we had a fair chance，and then
always—always—rewarding the same old winners.
I believe I drew a sailboat，but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I
admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen，and
then I turned it in.
Minutes passed.
No one came along to give me the grand prize，and then someone distracted
me，and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.
I was still sitting at my desk，thinking，What poster? When the teacher gave
me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.
46. What was the teacher's requirement for the poster?
A. It must appear in time.
B. It must be done in class.
C. It must be done on a construction sheet.
D. It must include the words on the blackboard.
47. The underlined phrase in paragraph 3 most probably means _____________.
A. formed an idea for
B. made an outline for
C. made some space for
D. chose some colors for
48. After the teacher’s words，all the students in the class _________.
A. 1ooked very serious
B. thought they would be rich
C. began to think about their designs
D. began to play games
49. After seeing the good students’ designs，some students _________.
A. 1oved their own designs more
B. thought they had a fair chance
第4页 | 共9页C. put their own designs in a comer
D. thought they would not win the prize
50. We can infer from the passage that the author ______________.
A. enjoyed grown-up tricks very much
B. 1oved poster competitions very much
C. felt surprised to win the competition
D. became wise and rich after the competition
C
A few years ago I had an “aha!” moment regarding handwriting.
I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some
sort of editorial task. It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting，and
then I realized whose it must be. I finally became aware of the fact that I had been
working with this colleague for at least a year，maybe two，and yet I did not
recognize her handwriting at that point.
It was a very important event in the computerization of life—a sign that the
informal. Friendly communication of people working together in an office had
changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails. There was a time when our
workdays were filled with little letters，and we recognized one another's handwriting
the way we knew voices or faces.
As a child visiting my father’s office，1 was pleased to recognize，in little
notes on the desks of his staff，the same handwriting 1 would see at home in the
notes he would leave on the fridge—except that those notes were signed “dad” instead
of “RFW”.
All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of
Handwriting，a book by Florey. Sire shows in her book a deep concern about the fall
of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well，but many
others argue that people in a digital age can’t be expected to learn to hold a pen.
I don’t buy it.
I don’t want to see anyone cut off from the expressive，personal associations
that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does. For many a
biographer，part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their
handwriting.
What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings
based on the handwriting of 16th-century Italy. That may sound impossibly grand—as
if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings. However，they have
worked in many school systems.
51. Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague’s
handwriting?
A. He had worked with his colleague long enough.
B. His colleague’s handwriting was SO beautiful.
C. His colleague’s handwriting was SO terrible.
D. He still had a 1ot of Work to do.
52. People working together in an office used to ____________.
A. talk more about handwriting
第5页 | 共9页B. take more notes on workdays
C. know better one another's handwriting
D. communicate better with one another
53. The author’s father wrote notes in pen _________.
A. to both his family and his staff
B. to his family in small letters
C. to his family on the fridge
D. to his staff on the desk
54. According to the author，handwritten notes _______.
A. are harder to teach in schools
B. attract more attention
C. are used only between friends
D. carry more message
55. We can learn from the passage that the author __________.
A. thinks it impossible to teach handwriting
B. does not want to lose handwriting
C. puts the blame on the computer
D. does not agree with Florey

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Jackie is perhaps the most easily annoyed koala（考拉）at the Featherdale
Wildlife Park in southern Australia. All the koalas there are unhappy and
complaining. You would be too if you were used to night activities and someone kept
waking you up all day while you were trying to sleep it off. That’s right—sleep it off.
The average koala is always half asleep because it feeds on the leaves of a special
kind that makes it sleepy.
The reason Jackie and her fellow koalas are repeatedly awoken from their deep
sleep is so they can be hugged and photographed by tourists，who make the trips to
Featherdale and an increasing number of other national parks for just that special
experience. Whatever department in the Aussie government in charge of such things
is now moving to make the practice illegal，which is understandable. How would
you react，my friend，if you were trying to sleep off a dozen times and some
round，furry creature smelling of grass kept waking you?
