First Woman Walking The Great Wall

　　Karen Churches has been dreaming of becoming the first woman to walk the entire length of the Great Wall for six years．Her dream is about to become a reality．She stopped her job as a manager in London early this month to set out on her expedition：to follow the Great Wall from Yumenguan in the Gobi Desert to Shanhaiguan on the east coast where the Wall meets the Yellow Sea．

　　“It will truly be a life－changing adventure．To say that I am excited is an understatement(保守的说法), ” she said at Monday’s press conference in Beijing．She reckons the journey will take her seven months．That time will be divided up into 22 different 10 to 15 day sections on which she will be joined by women from around the world．“Up to now, 250 women from all over the world have enrolled(登记)to join me on different sections．

　　“The walk is largely in aid of charity, ” Churches said, “for the British charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer and two other Chinese based charities－Plan International(a charity to help women and children living in deprived(缺乏足够食品的)rural areas and Roots & Shoots which aims to raise awareness of environment and wildlife protection)．” Actress and comedienne(喜剧女演员)Josie Lawrence will join Churches for the first two and a half months and also will rejoin her at the end of the journey for two months．“I never feel I give myself a real challenge．When I am on stage or on TV, I do not feel afraid．But in my normal life, I often find myself afraid．Joining this walk is a way of facing my fears．”Also walking the first section, an 80 kilometer four－day trek(艰苦跋涉), will be three other British women．Erica Jackson, a part time doctor who has recently recovered from breast cancer, says she is taking part in the walk to show that women can completely overcome the disease．

　　“My daughters support me but my husband says I am crazy, ” says Fiona Leslie, a nurse who has also recently overcome breast cancer．“I think it will be great fun．”“I am not that strong,” says Samantha Pinder．“But I think if I can try this then other people might take on similar challenges．” She says she wants to lead by example．

First Day at School

　　It was my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened．On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers：“I am nine years old．I was born here but I haven’t lived here since I was two．I was living in Farley．It’s about thirty miles away．I came back to London two months ago．” I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age．I hoped they would decide not to risk(冒险)it．

　　No one took any notice of me before school．I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me．When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all．

　　My teacher was called Mr．Jones．There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn’t stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon．Mr．Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right．A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said：“Timbuktu”, and Mr．Jones went red in the face．Then he asked me．I said：“Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr．Jones said I was right．This didn’t make me very popular, of course．

　　“He thinks he’s clever,” I heard Brian say．

　　After that, we went out to the playground to play football．I was in Brian’s team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal．No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper．

　　“He’s big enough and useless enough．” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me．

　　I suppose Mr．Jones, who served as the referee(裁判), remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty(惩罚)．As the boy kicked the ball to my right, I threw myself down instinctively(本能地)and saved it．All my team crowded round me．My bare knees were injured and bleeding．Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me．

　　“Do you want to join my gang(帮派)?” he said．

　　At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger．

(1)

[　　]
A．	How old are you?
B．	Where are you from?
C．	Do you want to join my gang?
D．	When did you come back to London?

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题

卡上将该项涂黑。

The 2009 outbreak of HINI is a new kind of influenza virus, commonly referred to as “swine flu”. It is thought to be a break of four known kinds of influenza. A virus subtype H1N1: one endedmic(流行病) in humans, one endemic in birds, and two endemic in pigs (swine). The source of the outbreak in humans is still unknown, but cases were first discovered in the U.S. and soon after in Mexico.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)，it is not yet clear how serious this new virus actually is compared with other influenza viruses, although on May 26 they stated that new cases in the U.S. have probably reached the hightest point, and most cases have so far been mild relative to “seasonal flus”. But because this is a new virus, most people will not have immunity(免疫性) to it, and illness may eventually become more severe and widspread. The H1N1 flu mainly spreads in the same way that regular “seasonal influenza” spreads through the air from coughs and sneezes or touching those infected. It cannot be transmitted from eating cooked pork or by being in close contact with pigs.

As yet there is no vaccine(疫苗) available to prevent infection although companies are in the planning stages for having one available later this year. But there is concern that the virus could vary again over the coming months, leading to a new and potentially more dangerous flu outbreak later in the year, and a vaccine that will be less effective in preventing its spread.

As of May 27, the virus had spread to more than 50 countries; however, over 80% of reported deaths have taken place in Mexico. According to the CDC, the fact that the flu’s infection activity is now monitored more closely may help explain why more flu cases than normal are being recorded in Mexico, the United States and other countries.

1. The 2009 outbreak of H1N1 is thought to .

A.be concerned with four endmics

B.have come from the virus from pigs

C.occur because of unknown virus in Mexico

D.be caused because of people without immunity

2.According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ______.

A.most people won’t be infected with the flu

B.the H1N1 will not be too mild to cause many deaths in the world

C.the present situation allows of no optimist

D.H1N1 can be transmitted by touching pigs

3.To make people worried more is that .

A.no effective vaccine can prevent the virus from spreading

B.the virus will mutate in the following months

C.a seasonal influenza will break out

D.the newly-developed vaccine will lose effectiveness

4.From the passage we can learn that .

A.every country is watching closely the spreading of the H1N1

B.more than one-fourth of the deaths from the H1N1 are in Mexico

C.only the United States and Mexico recorded the cased of influenza

D.effective medicine has been produced to cure the H1N1

     First aid is emergency care for a victim(受害人) of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical
treatment is available. It may save a life or improve certain important signs including pulse, temperature,
clear airway (气道), and breathing.  In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent a victim's condition from
turning worse and provide relief from pain. First aid must be done as quickly as possible.  In the case of
the seriously injured, a  few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life.
    First-aid measures depend upon a victim's needs and the provider's level of knowledge and skill.
Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do.Improperly moving a
person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to permanent spinal(脊柱的 ) injury  and  paralysis
(瘫痪) .
    Despite the variety of injuries possible, several rules of first aid apply to all emergencies.  The first step
is to call for expert medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that medical aid has been
requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid.  Next,  assess (评估) the scene, asking
other people or the injured person's family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that
may have already been given, and pre-existing conditions such as diabetes(糖尿病) or heart trouble. The
victim should be checked for a medical card that describes special conditions. Unless the accident scene
becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.
      First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to decide whether life-threatening conditions exist. One
method for accessing a victim's condition is known by the acronym(首字母缩写词) ABC, which stands
for:
      A-Airway: Is it open and clear?
     B-Breathing: Is the person breathing? Look,listen, and feel for breathing.
     C-Circulation: Is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding externally? Check skin color and temperature
for additional indications of circulation problems.

1. First aid may bring about all the following results EXCEPT     .

A. saving a victim's life
B. preventing a victim's condition from getting worse
C. relieving a victim from pain
D. helping a person avoid sudden illness or injury

2. Before we offer first aid to a victim, it is very important for us       .

A. to make sure what to do and what not to do
B. to refer to all kinds of handbooks on first aid
C. to remove the ring or bracelet he/she may be wearing
D. to take him/her to a hospital at once

3. In giving first aid to a victim,  you should first of all       .

A. remove his/her from the accident scene
B. turn him/her over
C. call for professional medical help
D. examine him/her carefully

4. You may assess (评价) a victim's condition by all the following EXCEPT       .

A. checking whether there is a pulse
B. looking, listening and feeling for breathing
C. replacing his/her medical card
D. examining whether the airway is open and clear
