题目内容

【题目】 Last Friday, Mike Babbitt was about to leave the Bremerton Yacht Club to go gas up when the engine of the boat caught fire.

“The wind was blowing from the North. It would have blown the boat into the yacht (快艇) club so I just gave it all the power I could to get it away from the yacht club,” he told Komo News. However, that wasn’t the end of Mike’s mission (使命). Still on the boat were his two bulldogs Pearl and Hootie. He placed the dogs on a paddleboard before jumping into the water himself.

He explained to Komo News that he didn’t even have time to grasp a life coat or his oxygen. Mike served in the army for five years in a special police unit in Iraq and Afghanistan. During his time in the army, he suffered a pancreatic (胰腺的) attack that forced him to rely on oxygen treatment for the rest of his life.

Still, he succeeded in doing the unthinkable. “I just slid into the water and started paddling away from the fire and I could still feel the heat from the fire,” Mike told the news reporters. Mike was then rescued by some friends and later transported to a nearby hospital, where his wife Jamie met him. The fire is especially heartbreaking for Mike and his wife as the yacht was their only house. They had early sold their home and saved up in order to live a life on the water.

However, Mike is just happy to have survived. “I think it is the gift of God watching over us,” Mike told Komo News. “You have to put it exactly that were still alive and we’re still together.” A GoFundMe has since been created to help the Babbitts following the fire.

【题目】Dr. Ellen Bronson of the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore always wanted to work with animals. Unlike many animal- loving little girls, though, her first idea was to be a naturalist. If a naturalist is someone who sits in the woods and observes animals and takes notes, then that’s exactly what she was doing at the time. Dr. Bronson grew up “in the middle of now here”, and her parents didn’t let her watch TV. “So I spent a lot of time hanging out in the woods because there was not a lot to do otherwise,” she says. “I had a funny notebook that my parents still have, w here each page is about a certain animal.”

When she got a little older, being an animal doctor seemed like a better choice than working with animals in the forest, and the success in giving medical help to them satisfied her hugely, but she says that even the cases that don’t work out as well can be meaningful. “You also have the failures, which are hard at the time, but they help not just you but the whole zoo learn,” She says.

And, of course, another advantage of the job is getting to work with really cool animals. “I really like the animals that feed on meat — they’re very tough, and you can get them through hard times,” she says.

Finally, another advantage of her job is how often she gets to work with an animal over its life. “We’re there doing medical examination when they’re born, we watch them grow up,” she says. “And we watch them as they age. We help them age peacefully and help them be pain-free, and then we’re also there when they die. That is something very special.”

1What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. Giving animals medical help is always Ellen’s dream.

B. Even failures can also mean something to Ellen.

C. Failures in work are hard for Ellen to accept.

A. earn fame and respect from her work.

C. take care of many animals from birth to death.

D. keep all the animals in peace and free from pain.

3Which of the following best describes Dr. Bronson?

【题目】 The Australian state of New South Wales rolled out “high definition detection cameras" on Sunday, designed to catch drivers using cell phones behind the wheel.

Andrew Constance, New South Wales' minister for roads, said the "world-fist" technology would target illegal cell phone use through "fixed and mobile cameras". The cameras will use artificial intelligence to review images and detect illegal use of cell phones, according to Transport for NSW.

Images identified as being likely to contain a driver illegally using a cell phone would then be verified by traffic police. Those images would be securely stored and managed.

Over the next three years, 45 portable cameras would be set up across the state, in unknown locations, and without warning signs, CNN branch Sky News Australia reported.

For the first three months, drivers caught out by the technology would receive a warning letter, Transport for New South Wales said in a statement, after which the drivers would face a fine of up to $344, or $457 in a school zone, and loss of points on their drivers' license.

“The NSW Government is serious about reducing our state's road deaths and launching mobile phone detection cameras is another way we will do this." Con stance said in a statement.

Officials said that a trial of the technology earlier in the year had caught more than 100,000 drivers illegally using a phone behind the wheel. Some 329 people died this year on New South Wales' roads, Reuters news agency reported, compared with 354 people for 2018, according to official statistics.

1Why does the NSW Government set up detection cameras?

A.To get some real-time information about the traffic.

B.To monitor people crossing the street casually.

C.To catch drivers using cell phones illegally.

D.To improve the work efficiency of the police.

2What docs the underlined word "verified” in Paragraph 3 mean?

C.Edited.D.Confirmed.

3What can we infer from the passage?

【题目】 People often talk about how difficult it is to keep a healthy lifestyle while on vacation. A cruise (船)is the perfect example--too much food and too little exercise.1Then I realized that’s of taking such vacations, we would all be better off taking vacations that encourage healthy behavior. Things like hiking and cycling are not only healthy, but they're cheap! 2we couldn't afford to do such else!

Gerhard Strauss-Blasche and colleagues examined the links between vacation environment and recovery. 3 They filled out questionnaires within two weeks of returning from a short vacation. Post-vacation recovery was assessed by quantifying how closely subjects agreed with the statement "In comparison with the two weeks before vacation, I now feel mentally fitter, feel more balanced and relaxed, can concentrate better during work, feel physically fitter, and do my work more easily.”

4?Physical activity during the trip was positively associated with post-vacation recovery scores. In other words, the more physically active people were during their vacation, the more likely they were to feel relaxed upon their return. 5.In fact, I wouldn't take this study too seriously. But I don't think it's surprising that people who engage in(参加)healthy behaviors during a vacation might feel better upon their return. So instead of looking at your vacation as a potential block to your healthy lifestyle, why not look at it as a chance to improve your healthy behaviors?

A.I thought a lot about this issue

B.So what did the researchers find

C.Now of course this is only one study

D.The study included 191 German males and females

E.That's why my wife Daun and I first started taking cycling vacations

F.Limited evidence supports the idea that healthy vacations leave you feeling better

G.Why would people choose to eat unhealthy food and perform very little physical activity
