Little Kieran couldn’t swim and 34 to keep his head above the water. 35 every bit of her strength, Amber swam over to the sticken child and 36him to the surface. Then she dragged him back to the shore at Lee-on-the-Solent, Hants.Amber said, “I had to Kieran to be very 37 but he just slipped. He can’t swim and his feet couldn’t touch the 38 of the sea. I swam over and grabbed him from the water.” Kieran was 39 shaken but suffered only cuts on his legs from the rocks. “I was very scared. I was 40 for a long time and hurt my legs on the rocks. Then Amber saved me,” said Kieran.The pair were at the seaside for an outing with their 41 . Amber, Kieran, his cousin Max,five, and his brother Dorminic, seven, had all wandered over to the water’s edge while their 42 family me mbers were in a nearby playpark.

Talks went smoothly but differencesremained. So Martin Bayer himself, the CEO of the German Company, come to Moscow to head the talks. Besides caring about his business, the CEO wanted to go to Russia to hunt bears.Martin Bayer was one of the greatest hunters of our time (and the Russians knew about it). He went to the Sahara more than hundred times and hunted lions, crocodiles; he hunted polar bears in the North Pole and tigers in the rain forests of India. But he had never hunted Russian bears.So the Russians decided to organize a bear hunt for Mr. Bayer to sweeten the talks. This wasn't a simple task. Some people in the west still believe that bears may be found and seen everywhere in Russian cities just like squirrels may be seen in our back yards. This is not true. The closest place one may find bears in the wild is maybe 2,500 miles away from Moscow. However, a solution was quickly found. The Russian businessmen went to Moscow Circus（马戏团）and for $2,000 bought a very old bear. This bear used to amuse and amaze audiences in many countries for 30 years, but got and looked too old, and was retired.“Be careful, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening,” they told Mr. Bayer. “If compared to the Russian bears, your African lions are nothing more than harmless cats.” The bear was brought to a forest 50 miles from Moscow and was left there. Mr. Bayer was told that bears were plentiful in that forest and that many cattle and even people had been eaten in the surrounding villages.Meanwhile, an 18-year old female drove through the forest on a motorcycle and suddenly saw a bear (no bears had been seen in those places for 200 years). She was frightened, fell, left her helmet and her motorcycle and ran away.Mr. Bayer was excited and ready to hunt. This could become the most successful part of his extraordinary hunting experience. The next moment Mr. Bayer saw a bear in a helmet driving on a motorcycle through the forest in fro nt of him. The bear had a happy expression on his face, as he was doing something he had been doing in the circus for 30 years: circling on a motorcycle!Mr. Bayer lives in a private mental institution near Hamburg happily ever after. The equipment was never sold to Russia. It was sold to Iraq instead.51. Why did the Russians invite Mr. Bayer to hunt bears?A. Russian bears are famous for their cruelty.B. They managed to find a bear for hunting.C. They expected the trade to be successful.D. There was a bear in Moscow Circus.52. Why did the Russians say “Be careful, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening”?A. To tell Mr. Bayer that many people had been killed by bears.B. To make Mr. Bayer feel the hunting really challenging.C. To warn Mr. Bayer to mind his safety while hunting.D. To tell Mr. Bayer that the bear is really dangerous.53. We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.A. Mr. Bayer has gone madB. the bear injured him badlyC. he has worked in a mental institution since thenD. the trade has gone smoothly between Russian and Iraq54. Which would be the best title of the passage?A. Mr. Bayer, a Brave HunterB. Russian Bears, Dangerous AnimalsC. Don’t Hunt in RussiaD. Don’t Deal with the RussiansBEvery kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book!"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right.Tim Greenhalgh,a professor explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.55. We can infer from the article that _________.A. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can't give up their toysB. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidultsC. Kidults like to have vitamins very muchD. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much56. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way except that _______.A. it can improve the relationship between parents and their kidsB. it can help kidults feel relaxedC. it is helpful to solve some social problemsD. it can make people loyal to one's parents57. According to the writer, _______.A. being a kidult is nothing wrongB. kidults have mental problemsC. our society is very dullD. some people can never grow upCYellowstone WeatherYellowstone National Park is at high altitude(海拔). Most of the park is above 7,500 feet (2,275 meters).Yellowstone's weather is unpredictable. In summer, it may be warm and sunny with temperatures in the high 70s. At night in any given month, the temperature may drop close to fre ezing. So it is best to come prepared for cold evenings and mornings, especially if you are camping or hiking. When you leave your campsite, please leave it prepared for possiblethundershowers and wind.A sunny warm day may become fiercely stormy with wind, rain, sleet and sometimes snow. Seasonal Weather InformationSpringCold and snow c ontinue into May, althoughtemperatures gradually climb. Early in spring,daytime temperatures average in the 40s to50s;by late May and June, they may reach the60s and 70s. Nighttime lows fall belowfreezing.FallNational Park.A. do research workB. take a business tripC. have sports gamesD. spend their holidays or take a tour59.

Just some warm clothing such as sweaters and coats.C. Both light clothing and warm clothing.D. Either light clothing or warm clothing.61. What does the underlined word "readings" refer to?A. literature worksB. booksC. announcementsD. figuresDWhen we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again.After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senseswere so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night.We found him just in time.This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. Things would have been different if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation.A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes that the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a river, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he may be turned around many times, but he is seldom lost.There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man comes across some strange problem that puts him into the “lost” situation. A rainstorm or sudden blizzard may catch him without a compass（指南针）in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.When this happens, the normal first reaction（反应）is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may consider it inconvenient to ask his friends for help. This false pride may lead him to keep on moving in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.62. The author suggested that if the man had not been found, he would have __________.A. been shot by a gunB. become confusedC. been attacked by wild animalsD. been in great danger63. According to the passage, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning, hewould __________.A. worry about being laughed atB. push himself to find his way outC. feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friendsD. be concerned about being frightened by wild animals64. When a person tries to find his way in the woods, __________ is the most important.A. intelligenceB. observationC. directionD. chance65. The author tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who __________.A. go into the woods by themselvesB. don’t know how to signal for help properlyC. are frightened when they think they are lostD. notice everything when stepping from the highway第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。
