题目内容

People who are hit by lightning and survive often have long-term effects. These may include memory loss, sleep disorders, muscle pain and depression.
Experts tell people to seek the safety of a building or a hard-top vehicle any time they hear thunder, even if it is not raining. They say lightning can strike as far as sixteen kilometers from any rainfall. Lightning can travel sideways. And at least ten percent of lightning happens without any clouds overhead that you can see.
People who are outdoors should make sure they are not the tallest thing around. Bend low to the ground, but do not lie down. And do not stand near tall object. Get away from water and anything made of metal. A car is safe, but don’t touch any metal inside.
Safety experts say people in buildings should stay away from anything with wires or pipes that lead to the outside. The National Weather Service says if you plan to disconnect any electronic equipment, do so before the storm arrives. Do not  use a wired telephone. Do not use water. All these can carry electricity.
Some people think a person struck by lightning carries an electrical charge afterward. Experts say this is not true. It is safe to begin emergency treatment
Each year about four hundred people in the United States are struck by lightning. Last year forty four people died. The average is close to seventy. The National Weather Service says that is more than the number of people killed by severe storms.

On a hot summer day in late August, I sought shade and a cool drink at a waterfront café on a Greek island. Over a hundred degrees in    1   air. Crowded. Tempers（脾气）of both the tourists and waiters had    2  to meet the situation, making it a rather quarrelsome environment（环境）
At the table next to mine sat an attractive,    3   couple, waiting for    4 .  They held hands, whispered, kissed, and laughed. Suddenly they stood, picked up their    5   and stepped together    6   the edge of where they were sitting to place the table in the sea water. The man stepped   7  for the two chairs. He politely   8  his lady in the knee-deep water and then sat down himself. All people around laughed and cheered.
  9  appeared. He paused for just a second, walked into the water to   10   the table and take their   11  , and then walked back to the    12   cheers of the rest of his    13 . Minutes later he returned carrying a bottle of wine and two glasses. Without pausing, he went    14   into the water to     15    the wine. The couple toasted（祝酒）each other, the waiter and the crowd. And the crowd   16  by cheering and throwing flowers to them. Three other tables  17  to have lunch in the water. The place was now filled with laughter.
One doesn’t step into water in one’s best summer clothes. Why not?
Customers are not served    18   . Why not?
Sometimes one should consider   19  the line of convention（常规）and enjoy   20  to the fullest.

With your workload growing, you may be telling yourself a vacation is one luxury you can’t afford.  小题1: A vacation allows you the opportunity to recharge your physical and motional batteries, disconnect from everyday concerns, and return to work rested and refreshed. Some facts have proved employees are more productive after a vacation than before one. Here are some tips for you to plan your vacation to make sure that your time away from the office is worry free.
Time is right. A Robert Half survey shows that July and August are the most favorable months for employees to take a break because these months offer ideal beach weather and many businesses slow down during this time.  小题2: For instance, if a big task is planned for the summer, you may consider postponing your trip until the fall.
Ask others for assistance.  小题3: Your supervisor can help you determine who is the most qualified for a particular task.
Let your contacts know. Give colleagues and customers you frequently work with a few weeks’ notice before you start off.  小题4:
Conduct a technical review. Before you leave, make sure there is plenty of room in your e-mail inbox so you don’t exceed (超越) your storage limit while you’re out of the office, which might prevent you from sending messages when you return.  小题5:
In short, taking vacation is necessary and beneficial for your job. But you must plan your vacation properly in order to work free and worry free on holiday.

F. What’s more, find your pet a temporary home when you are on vacation.
G. When planning your vacation, remember to take into account any activity that your department will be focused on during that time.
Researchers questioned nearly 9,800 people over the age of 50 about their lives and found women were happier than men and enjoy life more in old age.
Dr Elizabeth Breeze, one of the researchers, said that women could become happier as they get older as they no longer have to worry about looking after their families.
She said:“There is a difference between the way men and women view their quality of life and they are influenced by slightly different things. Women are affected negatively by caring for someone else or if they are not in employment but if they see their children and family more they are positively affected.”
“A strange thing happens to male actors, especially movie stars, in my experience,” said Helen Mirren, a 62-year-old Hollywood actress.“A young male actor feels that all the girls want him-he’s a star. As actors get older they bad-tempered for they have lost that sense of being in control of their destiny(命运).”
Wealth also helps you live longer with the poorest people more than twice as likely to die earlier than the richest, researchers at University College London discovered. In some age groups. the difference was even greater. The poorest women between 60 and 74 are six times more likely to have died than the richest women of the same age.
According to the study, you have more chances of living longer if you are married, educated to certain degree or a professional. single people are twice as likely to die early as those  who are married or living with a partner.

If you like bicycling as much as you like playing ball and can’t seem to decide between the two sports, you may want to consider cycle ball—a fun sport that adopts the key attributes from both activities and transforms it into a totally new game..
Also known as red ball, the game was invented in 1893 by German laborers who wished to play polo(马球), but could not afford horses. While the sport has not caught on in North America, it is very fashionable in Europe and even Japan.
Played in an indoor court, cycle ball is similar to soccer in many ways—the aim is to score as many goals as possible, and only the goalkeeper is allowed to touch the ball.
The one big difference? Use of legs is forbidden. Instead, players have to guide the ball across the court, using the front wheels of their bicycles or with their heads. In fact, if a player even touches the floor with his feet during the 14-minute game, it is considered a foul(犯规) and the opposing team gets a free kick.
While the game was initially(最初) played with normal bikes, things are a little different now. The seats of these specialized bikes are positioned over the back tire and they sport a single fixed gear, making it easier for the rider to control the constant back and forth movement required for the game. The handlebars(车把) also point straight up so that the competitors can sit upright while playing and they are about twice the weight of normal bikes, which helps with the stability.
While cycle ball may sound a little strange, it is a fast-paced sport that requires much training, skill, and, is also really fun to watch.
小题1:What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The origin and development of soccer
B．The differences between cycle ball and soccer.
C．The most popular sports game in the world.
D．A new and fun sports game—cycle ball
小题2:What does the underlined phrase “caught on” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．turned upB．hung upC．come aboutD．become popular
小题3:What can we know about cycle ball?
A．It is a fast-paced game played in an indoor court
B．It was invented in 1893 by poor British people.
C．It is another name of soccer played by many people.
D．It is a strange game played with normal bikes.
小题4:It can be known from the passage that __________.
A．every player who is playing cycle ball is allowed to touch the ball.
B．the aim of playing cycle ball is to score as many goals as possible.
C．if a player touches the floor with his feet, the opposing team will win
D．heads are not allowed to be used to guide the ball across the court.
小题5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．Cycle ball is popular both in Japan and other Asian countries.
B．The cycle ball game is popular all over the world.
C．A cycle ball game takes 14 minutes.
D．Cycle ball has to be played with heads, legs or the front wheels.
If you don’t want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret, according to a British market research document released last week.
Researchers peered (凝视) into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners’ lifestyles. They claim to be able to classify the nation’s people by fridge contents.
They say those people can be separated into five categories：nutrition nerds (no social sense), food faddiest (whatever’s in style), martyr mums, fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars.
Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat.
People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy. The vast majority is single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar.
A fridge full of vitamins — enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion. They tend not to eat the foods they buy. Known as the food faddiest, they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things.
A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want. This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work life.
Fast food fanatics always buy mineral water or soda pop. The nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce. Their fridges hint at someone who works hard and plays hard, also, someone who is not into long term planning.
Finally, a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life. The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants.
小题1:What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A．Some researchers are fond of staring at other people’s fridges.
B．People don’t want others to know about their secrets.
C．The food you put in the fridge has something to do with your personality.
D．There are mainly five kinds of lifestyles among British people.
小题2:According to the passage, people who belong to food faddiest_________.  
A．don’t care much about money when buying things
B．will try their best to stay healthy
C．often stay up late to finish their job
D．prefer to ask others about what to do next
小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．“Nutrition nerds” are always organized and successful in their jobs.
B．“Food faddists” like to stock their fridges with all kinds of vitamins.
C．“Martyr mums” care themselves more than others.
D．“Fast food fanatics” usually do not stock their fridges with fresh fruit.
小题4:What will those who often dine out put in the fridge?
A．All kinds of food they like.
B．Only something to drink.
C．Fruit, vegetables and meat.
D．Food rich in vitamins.
小题5:What is this passage mainly about?
A．What people store in their fridges.

C．What we should store in our fridges.
D．How to keep our fridge contents secret.
