Down he went after the man-eating fish．The shark was （52）Afor Ofai．Then，suddenly，the fish turned．My uncle's strong arm had（53）D   the knife deep into the side of the great fish．The water turned red as blood ran from the shark．
Now Ofai had time to reach the top．At last，he was safe in the boat．But the fish was（54）DHe turned to attack （he man who had hurt him．As he swam to my uncle，he opened his great mouth．Again the knife went forward．This time it cut deep into the shark's nose．

A．has been raisedB．raisedC．has risenD．rose
3．I had dressed quite nicely for my first day as a student at  St．Anne's College of Further Education．In celebration of this new beginning，I had changed my unusual clothes to formal clothing．
Like many young people my age，I was under the impression that the best way to show your personality was by wearing the kind of clothing that my mother considered was not fit to be seen in public．But for my first day as a student I had made an effort to look what my mother called‘respectable'．
There were fifteen of us，sitting in the theatre hall，while the head of the drama department，Mr Wilson，gave us a warm welcoming speech．To my horror （恐惧），he then invited us to say why we had decided to do a drama course．I had no idea what I would say．The truth was that although I had a taste for unusual clothing，I was painfully shy．
My worry grew as it came closer to my turn．One by one，the new students excitedly explained their reasons．Then it was the turn of a girl who I hadn't really noticed until that moment because I was too busy thinking about what I would say．
‘My name's Tracy and I'm from Blackburn'，she said，and then added no further information．
Everyone smiled politely in silence but I was impressed at her bravery in saying almost nothing even under pressure （压力）．I relaxed，knowing that you could get away with saying so little about yourself．It gave me confidence．
After Mr Wilson at long last let us out of the hall to go to lunch，I managed to find the courage to go up to Tracy．She looked very unfriendly．Taking a deep breath，I introduced myself．To my surprise，she looked up at me and gave me a very bright，sweet smile．That was twenty-seven years ago，and although we never did become famous stars，we're still best friends．

25．Why did the author change her appearance for her first day at college？C
A．She was under pressure from her mother．
B．She wanted to fit in with the other students．
C．She felt a need to dress properly．
D．She wanted to look like a great star．
26．According to Paragraph 3，the authorA．
A．was not as active as she might have seemed
B．hated the head of her department
C．was unsure of her reasons for wanting to do the course
D．was afraid that she would find the course too hard
27．The author was nervous becauseC．
A．she had never spoken in public
B．it was her turn to start first
C．she didn't know what to talk about
D．the other students were so excited
28．What does the underlined word"It"in Paragraph 5 refer to？D
A．Tracy also seemed extremely worried．
B．All attention was on Tracy．
C．The other students reacted politely to Tracy．
D．Tracy hadn't said very much．
2．Have you ever done something that was really dangerous just because you thought it was safe？Maybe you did a dangerous trick （杂耍动作） on your bicycle or skateboard because you were wearing a helmet （头盔） and thought you couldn't get hurt．The psychology （心理） of this sort of behavior is called the Peltzman Effect，named after Sam Peltzman，professor of economics at the University of Chicago．Peltzman believes that those moments when people think they are the safest are the times when they act most dangerously．
Peltzman said that people drove more dangerously when they wore seat belts （安全带）．Driving a large four-wheel drive vehicle has a similar effect on drivers'behavior．Because drivers of large vehicles sit up higher and can see better，they feel they can make better judgments when they drive．They are better protected in accidents，so they act more dangerously．This makes driving more  hazardous to other drivers．
The Peltzman Effect isn't just limited （ 限于） to driving．In 1972，the American Food and Drug Administration （FDA） passed a law requiring child safety caps on most medicine bottles．The safety caps were designed to prevent children from accidentally  taking  the  medicine，especially painkillers such as aspirin．Requiring safety caps sounded like a great idea，but there was an unexpected side effect．Because the safety caps are so hard to take off，some people leave them off altogether．Worse，some parents leave the bottles where kids can reach them because they feel that it is safe because of the cap．A study on the Peltzman Effect showed that more than 3，500children have been harmed by aspirin because of the safety caps．
The Peltzman Effect describes how we're likely to take more risks and act more dangerously when we feel safest．What's more，the effects of these behaviors can be quite different from what
we expect．
21．What is the Peltzman Effect？B
A．People feel safest when they are under protection．
B．People behave less safely when they feel safe．
C．People who act dangerously are likely to be together．
D．Something that seems dangerous turns out to be safe．
22．What does the underlined word"hazardous"in Paragraph 2mean？D
A．Expensive．
B．Interesting．
C．Important．
D．Dangerous．
23．Why do some people leave the safety caps of medicine bottles open？A
A．The caps can't be opened easily．
B．The caps don't work at all．
C．The bottles without caps are less attractive to kids．
D．The bottles are out of the reach of children．
24．What would be the best title for the text？B
A．Types of Decision Making
B．Unsafe Safety Measures
C．Different Behaviors of People in Danger
D．People's Fear of Taking Risks．
1．If you're like most students，you probably read both at home and outside your home：perhaps somewhere on your schoolyard and maybe even at work during your breaks．Your reading environment can have a great effect on your understanding，so give some thought to how you can create or choose the right reading environments．The right environment allows you to stay alert（专注的）and to keep all of your attention on the text，especially when it is both interesting and difficult．
When you're at home，you can usually create effective conditions for reading．You might want to choose a particular place-a desk or table，for example-where you always read．Make sure the place you choose is well lighted，and sit in a chair that requires you to sit straight．Reading in a chair that's too soft and comfortable is likely to make you sleepy!Keep your active reading tools（pens，markers，notebooks or paper）and a dictionary close at hand．
Before you sit down for a reading period，try to reduce all possible interruptions．Turn off your phone，the television，and the radio．Tell your family members or roommates that you'll be busy for a while．If necessary，put a"Do not disturb"sign on your door!The more interruptions you must deal with while you read，the harder it will be to keep your attention on the task at hand．

33．The author believes that the right reading environmentB．
A．helps readers a little in their reading tasks
B．helps readers a lot in their reading tasks
C．can only be created at one's home
D．can only be created outside one's home
34．Which type of the following interruptions is mentioned in the text？D
A．Dictionaries．
B．Paper．
C．Notebooks    
D．Phone calls．
35．What would be the best title for the text？C
A．What to Read
B．The Ways to Reduce Possible Interruptions
C．Creating an Effective Reading Environment
D．How to read fast．

I have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy: Seize the moment. Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it. Don't have it on their schedule, and didn't know it was coming or they are too strict to depart from their routine.

I can't count the times I called my sister and said, “How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would gasp and stammer(结结巴巴地说), “I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known it yesterday, I had a late breakfast, and it looks like rain.” And my personal favorite response: “It's just Monday.” She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.

Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we are awaken, and all have to show for our lives is repetition of “I'm going to”, “I plan on” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”

When anyone calls my “seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for a while, and you're ready to change your attitude to life.

My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy. Now go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to, not something on your SHOULD DO list.

How long has 3-D technology been around? Most of us might think of crowds of teenagers in a 1950’s movie house watching Bwana Devil in 3-D. But 3-D technology made its first appearance on the scene in 1838 with the first stereoscope(体视镜). And the first actual 3-D movie was a 1903 film called Le Ariveed’un Train.

Although it has such a long history, the technology has still remained based on one simple principle-----to make 3-D effects you must find a way to project two slightly different pictures to each eye. Modern 3-D technology works by rapidly flickering(闪动) two versions of the movie and projecting them onto each eye. The brain does the rest of the work, combining the two pictures together into one and giving the show the appearance of depth, the third dimension.

But does this exposure, especially long exposures, cause harm to the child’s developing brain and visual system? Unfortunately, long-term studies on new flicker digital 3-D technology and children aren’t yet available. We do not know if regular or daily 3-D viewing over years affects the developing visual system, although older 3-D methods basically do the same thing and are not considered harmful.

The question of possible harm in modern 3-D use in TV is really based on two facts: the amount of time children will now be watching 3-D TV each day and the sensitivity some children show in reaction to 3-D viewing. It is difficult to make actual lab studies of longer term 3-D viewing in children because of the possible harm of the experiment. Researchers will have to wait until 3-D TV technology is already in the marketplace for a number of years, then check heavy 3-D TV watchers and compare them with non-watchers.

With a 3-D television technology in the home, we will soon be able to answer the question of whether or not longer and more frequent periods of 3-D exposure cause more changes in the visual system. We may find that the bigger problem is the introduction of a new technology that leads to even more time spent on TV rather than playing outdoors.

1.According to the text, 3-D technology ______

A. was refused by people when it first appeared.

B. will soon change the way we watch TV.

C. does no good to our visual system.

D. has a history of nearly 200 years.

2.Paragraph 2 is mainly about________

A. how 3-D technology works.

B. why 3-D movies are popular

C. the history of 3-D technology.

D. the influence of 3-D technology.

3.What’s the method suggested in paragraph 4?

A. To wait and see B. To carry out lab studies

C. To stop making 3-D movies D. To improve 3-D technology

4.The author’s purpose in writing the text is to _______

A. ask children not to watch 3-D movies

B. discuss if 3-D viewing is harmful to children.

C. introduce the advantages of 3-D technology.

D. predict the development of 3-D technology.
