One Sunday night, a high school student, Rory Campbell, heard noises next door to his home
in Bonita Mews, off St Asaph Road, Brockley. When he went outside, he saw his neighbor
climbing out of a front window of his second floor flat, which was on fire. He then saw the man
covered in black soot(黑 灰 ), shouting for help.
The 15-year-old boy called the fire service and tried to calm the neighbor, who is in his
thirties, until firefighters arrived. Rory said, “He was shouting ‘Help me, help me! Get a ladder,
get a ladder!’ He was a bit hysterical(歇 斯 底 里 的 ). I didn’ t have time to think. I just tried to
calm him by telling him the firefighters were on the way.”
Rory was told by the man that the fire had been caused by a candle falling over. Firefightersfrom New Cross, Peckham, Lewisham and Forest Hill rescued the man by ladder and got the fire
under control within minutes of arriving. The man was taken to a south London hospital where he
is still recovering from smoke inhalation(吸 入 ).
25% of the flat was damaged by the fire.
Rory, studying music, added, “As the man walked past me, he said ‘Thanks’ and that meant
a lot to me. I do feel good because I helped save his life.”
Another neighbor said, “I heard a lot of noise but thought it was coming from the
railway opposite. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the man hanging there. The boy next door
really did save his life by calling the firefighters.”

C
There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a
seemingly simple question from the cashier, "Paper or plastic？"Well, which type of bag would
you choose？
While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed
that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, are broken down easily, burn
without giving offthick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper
bags uses more energy than that ofplastic ones. How can this be true？
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag
production.And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on
forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags,
which happen to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the
idea that paper bags are more environment friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded .
Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be
considered as the more harmful of the two by governments. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been
introduced to discourage the use ofplastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag,
and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.
There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to
be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better
choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How
should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves
one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?”
28. The question at the end of Paragraph 1 is used to .
A. introduce points for discussion B. tell readers how to save money
C. express the author's doubts D. show the kindness of the cashier
29. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags .
A. take more time to breakdown B. require less energy to recycle
C. need more water to produce D. have less influence on forests
30. The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means " ".
A. share B. put forward C. discuss D. give up
31. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier ask?
A. Paper or cloth? B. A new bag or your own one?
C. A small bag or big one? D. Paper or plastic？
D
Dive into the classical world via the remains of an ancient merchant ship that dates all the
way back to 5 BC as Greece is constructing its first underwater museum.
Some of Greece’s vast heritage of ancient shipwrecks are accessible to the public (divers andnon-divers) for the first time ever in a series of underwater museums. The first opened on August
3, allowing visitors to explore the “Peristera shipwreck”, which has been at the bottom of the
Aegean Sea for more than two thousand years after it sank in the 5th century BC near the northern
Greek island ofAlonissos. Since a fisherman discovered the ship in 1985, it has remained
off-limits to the public but now visitors can explore it by sea or by virtual reality.
Researchers believe it’s the most important shipwreck from the classical era. It had been
believed that a trading ship of that type didn’t exist until the Roman era some 400 years later. So
when it was discovered years ago, it completely changed our understanding of shipbuilding in the
ancient world.
Experts have yet to determine how or why it sank although there are some indications that a
fire may have broken out. It’ s believed that it was carrying 4, 000 vases of wine when it sank,
most of which are still lying on the seabed, along with fishes and some little creatures who now
call it home.
Greece had banned diving until 2004 or so, due to worries that undersea ancient heritage
would be taken away but now the country is wholeheartedly hugging its rich underwater heritage.
Access to the Peristera shipwreck is available through a new project that will create underwater
museums across the Greek islands over the next two years. Divers will be able to tour the
shipwreck with licensed guides and non-divers can feel like they’re underwater with virtual
reality information centres on land.
32. What is the main idea of the text?
A. An underwater museum is under construction. B. An ancient merchant ship is discovered.
C. Greece is trying to protect its heritage. D. Divers are interested in Greece.
33. How long has the ship remained off-limits to the public?
A. For about 2,000 years. B. For about 400 years.
C. For about 40 years. D. For about 20 years.
34. Why do researchers regard it as the most important shipwreck?
A. It carried 4,000 vases of valuable wine. B. It becomes the first underwater museum.
C. It corrected some of our misunderstanding. D. It is the oldest merchant ship in the world.
35. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Some virtual reality equipment is on the ship. B. All the visitors need to stay underwater tovisit.
C. A fire must have broken out on the ancient ship. D. There is more than one way to visit the
museum.

阅读材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a bright, warm July afternoon, Mac Hollan, a primary school teacher, was cycling from
his home to Alaska with his friends. One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair, but
they had encouraged Mac to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon. As Mac pedaled(骑
行) along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home. He hoped to
show them this beautiful place someday.
Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. “Man, that's a big dog!” he thought.
But when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it wasn't a dog at all, but a wolf, quickly
catching up with him.
Mac's heart jumped. He found out his can of bear spray. With one hand on the bars, he fired
the spray at the wolf. A bright red cloud enveloped the animal, and to Mac's relief, it fell back,
shaking its head. But a minute later, it was by his side again. Then it attacked the back of Mac's
bike, tearing open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again, it fell back only to
quickly restart the chase（追赶）。
Mac was pedaling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to show
down. He saw a steep uphill climb before him. He knew that once he hit the hill, he'd be easy
caught up and the wolf's teeth would be tearing into his flesh.
At this moment, Pauland Beeky were driving their car on their way to Alaska. They didn't
think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road. A bit later,
they spotted what they, too, assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike. As they got
closer, they realized that the dog was a wolf. Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in
front of it as the wolf was catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now.注意：
1. 所续写的短文词数应为 150 左右；
