【题目】D. Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）

One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.

Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bibber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.

She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park, I was so glad they were there.”

The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact（接触）.” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.

Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.

“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’. My heart missed a beat,”

Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.

“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed.

【1】Vicki could get over ￡30,000 reward money, couldn’t she?

【2】How did Vicki feel when she opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policeman lined up in the car park?

【3】Why did Vicki become suspicious of David Bieber?

【4】Where was David Bieber most probably handcuffed?

【5】How long did the whole event probably last from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers?

Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have. It is important to remember that the body needs proper c【1】 in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food, get enough sleeps, and exercise regularly.

Proper nutrition（营养）is important for good health. Your body cannot work well if it doesn’t receive the proper kind of “fuel”. Don’t eat to much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods which are h【2】in protein（蛋白质）, like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they p【3】necessary vitamins and minerals（矿物质）. However, don’t eat too much. It is not helpful to be overweight.

Getting the proper a【4】 of sleep is also important. If you don’t get enough sleep, you will feel tired and get angry e【5】. You will have no energy. So, be sure to have seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong.

Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise makes the body strong and p【6】 you from putting on weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise programme, you will p【7】 increase your lifetime. Doing exercise is not only good for your body, but it is fun and enjoyable, too.

If you eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, you will all live to be much older and wiser.

【题目】 The fridge is considered necessary. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food list appeared with the label: “Store in the refrigerator.”

In my fridge-less fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthy. The milkman came every day, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times each week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus（剩余的）bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.

The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. Many well-tried techniques already existed -- natural cooling, drying, smoking,salting, sugaring, bottling ...

What refrigeration did promote was marketing -- marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the world in search of a good price.

Consequently, most of the world’s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the rich countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house -- while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.

The fridges’ effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant. If you don’t believe me, try it yourself, invest in a food cabinet and turn off your fridge next winter. You may not eat the hamburgers, but at least you’ll get rid of that terrible hum.

B.the author was not accustomed to fridges even in his fifties

C.there was no fridge in the author’s home in the 1950s

D.the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1950s

【2】Why does the author say that nothing was wasted before the invention of fridges?

A.Because people would not buy more food than was necessary.

B.Because food was delivered to people two or three times a week.

C.Because food was sold fresh and did not get rotten easily.

D.Because people had effective ways to preserve their food.

【3】Who benefited the least from fridges according to the author?

A.Inventors.B.Consumers.C.Manufacturers.D.Travelling salesmen.

【4】Which of the following phrases in the fifth paragraph indicates the fridge’s negative effect on the environment?
