Our boat floated on between walls of forest. It was too thick for us to get a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must be passing through chains of hills from time to time. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed: although the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us from going ashore. In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance slowly, cutting one's way with knives the whole way. So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization.
As for water, there was a choice. We could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst. We drank the water. Men who have just escaped from what appeared to be certain death lost all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result.
One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time: we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again.
1.What they could see on the boat was only___ .
A. high walls B. chains of hills C. heavy woods D. vast land
2.They couldn't land because_______ .
A. the mud on the shore was too soft B. they could not find anyone

A. they were in an uninhabited area B. they were on a journey home happily
C. the country was a civilized society D. the country was a tropical jungle coutry

18【题文】If you travel to a new exhibition at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers, you will have chances to see some meat-eating plants. Take bladderworts, a kind of such plant, for example. They appear so small and grow in a quiet pond. "But these are the fastest known killers of the plant kingdom, able to capture a small insect in 1/50 of a second using a trap door!"
Once the trap door closes on the victim, the enzymes (酶）similar to those in the human stomach slowly digest the insert. When dinner is over, the plant opens the trap door and is ready to trap again.
Meat-eating plants grow mostly in wet areas with soil that doesn't offer much food nutrition. In such conditions, these amazing plants have developed insect traps to get their nutritional needs over thousands of years. North America has more such plants than any other continents.
Generally speaking, the traps may have attractive appearance to fool the eye, like pitcher plants, which get their name because they look like beautiful pitchers full of nectar (花蜜).
Hair-like growths along the pitcher walls ensure that nothing can escape, and the digestive enzymes can get to work. A tiny insect can be digested in a few hours, but a fly takes a couple of days.
Some of these pitchers are large enough to hold 7.5 liters. Meat-eating plants only eat people in science fiction movies, but sometimes a bird or other small animals will discover that a pitcher plant isn't a good place to get a drink.
9.From Paragraph 1，we learn that bladderworts can__ .
A. kill an insect in a second B. digest a fly in a few hours
C. be found floating on a quiet lake D. capture an insect in 1/50 of a second
10.If the trap door of a meat-eating plant is closed, the plant is
A. fooling insects into taking a sip B. producing nectar
C. tempting insects to come close D. enjoying a dinner
11.Meat-eating plants can grow in wet and poor soil because they .
A. can get nutrition from animals B. don't need much food nutrition
C. can make the most of such conditions D. have developed digestive enzymes
12.What can be captured by meat-eating plants for food?
A. A child. B. A dog. C. A little bird. D. A little fish.

20【题文】BUKHANNON, West Virginia~~Two rescue teams slowly moved along a two—mile path on Monday night to the site of a coal mine explosion that trapped 13 miners, who had not been heard from since the early morning accident.
Meanwhile, at a nearby church, more than 250 family members and friends gathered, waiting for updates on the rescuers' progress.
The miners were trapped at about .6:30 and many families weren't informed of the accident until about 10 a.m.~~more than three hours after it happened. "It's very upsetting, but you've got to be patient, I guess," said John Helms, whose brother, Terry, was trapped in the mine.
The trapped miners were about 260 fee underground and about 10,000 feet from the Sago Mine's entrance, said Roger Nicholson, a lawyer from International Coal Group.
At a late night news conference, Nicholson said one team had advanced about 4, 800 feet in the four hours since entering the mine just before 6 p.m. Another team entered the mine about 30 minutes later.
He said the crew was very experienced, with some members having worked underground for 30 to 35 years. The miners were equipped with al>out one hour of breathable oxygen each. The company has not released the names of the miners.
The teams test the air about every 500 feet, and have to disconnect the power to the phones they use to communicate with the surface before doing that. "We don't want to be electrifying anything if it's in an atmospfiere with hurnahle gases," Kips said.
The cause of the explosion was not immediately known. High levels of carbon monoxide ( 一氧化物) were discovered shortly after the explosion, which delayed rescue efforts, but those levels have weakened since then, authorities said.
25.According to the passage, we ran infer that_ .
I. communication with the trapped miners was cut off
J. the rescue started as soon as the accident happened
K. the two rescue teams entered the mine at the same time
L. all the miners who were trapped underground were still alive

A. 1,000 feet B. 1,200 feet C. 2,400 feet D. 4,800 feet

21【题文】
You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on tbe other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. Are you still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communieating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others' pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the knife of a negative person is put in you, you have the heavy feeling that, all in all, brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won't feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of others at the start of the day can be attached to you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.
31. Which of the following shows the position where the miners were trapped? (E: entrance P: position where the miners were trapped)
32.The purpose of Paragraph 1 is to____ .
A. make a comparison B. introduce a topic
C. offer an instructive story D. tell a true story
33.How can negative people have effect on us?
A. By influencing our emotion. B. By telling us the nature of life.
C. By changing our way of thinking. D. By comparing their attitude to life with ours.
34.Some negative people base their happiness on —.
A. their pity for other people B. their respect for others '
C. building up a positive attitude D. making other people unhappy 35.According to the passage, to reduce negative people's influence on us, we are advised.
A. to change negative people's attitude to life
B. to show our dissatisfaction to negative people
C. to make negative people feel as hamed of themselves
D. to communicate with negative people as little as possible

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find one more person in our world who is kind and caring. It was about 11:00 p.m. 16 my telephone rang. The caller ID showed the number of a Best Western Hotel. 17 , I would ignore this type of call. For some reason, 18 , I went ahead and answered.
The man on the other end asked if I knew Samual K. I 19 , as he is my 91 – year – old grandfather. Still not 20 why I was the one that had been called, the caller went on to tell me that I was the only 21 listed in the phone book. He said his name was Mason and that he was the 22 at the Best Western Hotel. The 23 was that grandpa had no money with him, and that he couldn’t 24 any phone numbers, so Mason called all over the state trying to get help.
Grandpa told me that he just wanted me to tell Mason that he is a (n) 25 guy and would pay the money once he got home. But the man in charge there was 26 because my grandfather seemed to be 27 . He had been going somewhere else when he got on the wrong bus and 28 100 miles from home.
Not wanting to turn him away and not wanting the police to 29 him to the police station, Mason, 30 any normal duty, not only took the time to 31 me, but also charged just $ 39 so that grandpa could 32 safely and comfortably overnight. (The rooms normally rent for about $ 140!) Besides, he had the staff of that hotel all 33 him until my uncle was able to drive the 100 miles to pick him up!
So, it’s just one more piece of 34 that proves that there are still good people out there; wherever you go, there is always one who 35 .
