2、 dragged on the ground.Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he n eeded only eight years tofinish his schooli ng in stead of the usual twelve. After graduat ing from school, he worked his waythrough college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college of

3、fices. During allthis busy life, he had bee n moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him eve n thestumps were not going to last much Ion ger. He would soon have to use a wheel chair.Hank felt himself got cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a cha nee that he could befi

4、tted with artificial legs（假腿）.Fi nally a legmaker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror . For the first time he sawhimself as he has always wan ted to bea full fivefeet eight in ches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.Hank had to lear n to use his new legs. Agai

5、n and aga in he marched the len gth of the room, andmarched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up andwent back to the en dless marchi ng. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and lear ned todance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.Whe n Wo

6、rld War II came, he talked the Red Cross into givi ng him a job. He took the regulartraining. H e marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. Thiswas the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.I.Children laughed at Hank and called himApe Man because_ .A.

7、 he didnt talk to themB. he kept away from themC. his arms touched the ground when he movedD. he couldnt use his arms2.

9、 a job at first4. When Hank marched and drilled along with the other soldiers, he _ .A. did everything the other soldiers didB. did most of the things the other soldiers didC. did some of the things the other soldiers didD. took some special training2. You are watching a film in which two men are ha

10、ving a fight. They hit one another hard. At thestart they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads withchairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes （撞擊） through a window and fallsthirty feet to theground below. He is dead！Of course he isnt really

11、dead. With any luck he isnt even hurt. Why?Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars ofeven catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That isto say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their wor

12、k. They actually do most of the things yousee on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hardground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress （床墊） . Again, when they hitone another with chairs,the chairs are made of soft wood and when th

13、ey crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill andtraining. Often a stuntman s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is blownup in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of t

14、he explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often getseriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge ofa cliff （懸崖） a thousand feethigh. His parachute （降落傘） failed to open,

15、and he was killed. In spite ofall the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women whenactresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls too.1.Stuntmen earn their living by _.A. playing their dirty tricksB. selling their special

16、 skillsC. jumping out of high windowsD. jumping from fast moving trains2. When a stuntman falls from a high building, _ .A. he needs little protectionB. he will be covered with a mattressC. his life is endangeredD. his safety is generally all right3. Which of the following is the main factor （因素） of

17、 a successfulperformance?A. Strength. B. Exactness. C. Speed. D. Carefulness.4. What can be inferred from the author s example of the Norwegian stuntman?A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.C. Parachutes must be of good quality.D. The cliff

18、is too high.3. In some ways, the United States has made some progress. Fires no longer destroy 18,000buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2,400 people, as they didthe same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentuck

19、y in1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in theworld. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference（無所謂） of a country that just wi

20、ll not take fires seriously enough.American fire departments are some of the worlds fastest and best-equipped.They have to be. The United States has twice Japans population, and 40 times as many fires. Itspends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them.And American fire-safety lessons are a

21、imed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers infires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them.Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyones fault. That is not so in othercountries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a p

22、ersonal failing or a crime.Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10,000buildings, Japan has had 27. Punishment for causing a big fire can be as severe as lifeimprisonment.In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, t

23、he lessons areaimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by childrenplaying with matches.The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There aresmoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now

24、 require home sprinklers（噴水裝置）. New heaters and ironsshut themselves off if they are tipped.1._The reason why so manyAmericans die in fires is that _.A. they took no interest in new technologyB. they did not pay great attention to preventing firesC. they showed indifference to fighting firesD. they

25、did not spend enough money on fire equipment2.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American childrenB.American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessonsC. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United St

26、atesD. Americas large population leads to more fires3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate.B.There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high de

27、ath rate.C.There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate.D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed.4.Nuclear powers（核能的） danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in oneword : radiation（輻射）.Nuclear radiation has

28、 a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected （探測） byhuman senses. It cant be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us.There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we cant detect them,sense them, without a radio

29、receiver. Similarly, we cant sense radioactivity without a radiationdetector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings andother living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells（細胞） in important

30、organs （器官）. But even thelowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If theradiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case whenonly a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will rep

31、lace the dead cells withhealthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may bein trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimesthis does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery ab

32、out nuclear radiation.Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage hasoccurred. A person can be irradiated（放射治療） and feel fine,then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy toget serious illness as a res

33、ult of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.1._According to thepassage, the danger of nuclear power lies in _ .A. nuclear mystery B. radiation detectionC. radiation level D. nuclear radiation2. Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest l

34、evel _ .A. when it kills few cellsB. if it damages few cellsC. though the damaged cells can repair themselvesD. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves3. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can _ .A.kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediatelyB. damage c

35、ells which may grow into cancer years laterC. affect the healthy growth of our younger generationD. lead to all of the above results4. Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized （分強調(diào)）.B. The mystery about radia

36、tion remains unsolved.C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.二、七選五5.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多 余選項。What do they really mean?Food manufacturers and retailers are letting shoppers down. This is the viewof the CWS, which has just

37、brought out a new report.According to the report, shoppers believe food labels（標(biāo)簽） because theythink there are strict regulations in place. 1. So the food industry can get away with all sorts of trickystrategies to make products look bigger and sound better than they are.The report has identified th

38、e different ways in which shoppers are misled.2. _ Descriptions on packaging are sometimes inaccurate in an attempt tooversell the product. One example given in the report is the phrase haddock fillets, used for aproduct that is in fact cut from big blocks of fish rather than individual slices.3. Th

39、ese include traditional, wholesome, or premium. The claim that a brand is 90% fat-freehides the fact that it contains 10% fat, which above recommended levels. Phrases such as freefrom preservatives make a virtue out of a normal attribute of food.Labels have a wide variety of text sizes on them. You

40、sometimes need a magnifying glass to readthe small print. 4.Another deliberate type of misinformation lies in the image. Many pictures on packets use smallplates to make the product look bigger. 5.However, misleading messages on packaging could soon be a thing of the past. The CWS recentlyproduced a

41、 code which, if used, would end the current inaccuracies and half-truths. It has called onthe government to support it as a way of improving food standards.A. Meaningless adjectives are often used to give a positive message.B. An officer says the labels will receive very serious consideration.C. Pho

42、tographs are sometimes retouched（修飾） to achieve the same effect.D. By contrast, the hard sell （強行推銷） information is given emphasis.E. The rules are, in reality, very weak at present.F. This result has not pleased the food industry.G. The most common of these is poor labeling.三、完形填空6.閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的
