AA Swedish man was dug out alive after being snowed in his car on a forest track for two months with no food, police and local media reported on Saturday.The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday, February17, too weak to say more than a few words.He was found not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a ruined car until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside.The man, who was lying in the back seat in a sleeping bag, said he had been in the car since December 19.“Just incredible that he’s alive considering that he had no food, but also since it’s been really cold for some time after Christmas.” a rescue team member told regional daily Vasterbottens- Kuriren, which broke the news.Ebbe Nyberg, duty officer at the Umea police, said police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.“We would not make up something like this. The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us.” he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.Umea University Hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances.Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow, the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的) state, physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.“A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that.” he said. “He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up.”“Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown,” police said.26．Who found the Swedish man in the snow?A．Snowmobilers. B．The police.C．A rescue team. D．Local people.27．“Police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.”implies that .A．police didn’t think it true B．police were sure of the factC．police had some doubt on the fact D．police had reasons to doubt the fact 28．The reason why the man could survive was most probably that .A．he was only forty-five year old B．he did not use any energyC．he slept in the sleeping bag D．he was in a dormant-like state29．Which is the correct order of the following events?a．The Swedish man was stuck in the snow.b．He was sent to Umea University Hospital.c．He was found by snowmobilers.d．He was recovering after treatment.e．He stayed in his car for nearly two months.f．He was dug out by people.A．e, a, c, d, f, b B．a, e, c, f, b, dC．a, f, c, e, b, d D．e, c, f, a, d, b30．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．A Traffic Accident B．A Long Sleep in WinterC．An Incredible Survival D．A Successful RescueBWhile many countries in the world have seen a decline in forest resources, China has increased both the area and reserves of its forests and was listed as one of the 15 countries preserving the most area of forests by the United Nations Environment Program. Reserved man-made forests in China totaled 53.84 million hectares, the forest coverage rate being 18. 21 percent.From 1998 to 2001, the Central Government invested 42.7 billion yuan in central and western China to protect vegetation(植被), support local farmers financially and promote projects for transforming farmland back to forests and grassland. In 2003, the Regulations on Transforming Farmlands to Forest went into official force. The project to reforest farmland has been carried out all over the country. By 2004, 13.33 million hectares of farmland had been reforested throughout China. Another effective measure of forest protection is the natural forest conservation program started in 1998 that stipulated a nationwide end to the cutting of trees in natural forests.As stipulated by the Research Report on China’s Sustainable(可持续的) Development Strategy on Forestry, China’s forest coverage rate is expected to reach 28 percent by 2050 with an added area of 110 million hectares of planted forest. Desertification is one of the most severe environmental problems facing China. The area of desertification, which is 2.62 million sq km or about 27 percent of China’s land area, is far beyond the nation’s total farmland. Today, although desertification has been controlled in some areas, it still is expanding at a rate of more than 3,000 sq km every year.The State Forestry Administration has carried out a nationwide sand control program, which has three stages: the first stage aims to get basic control of desertification by 2010; the second stage aims to reduce the area of desertification every year until 2030; and the third stage aims to raise the nation’s forest coverage and bring all desertification sources under effective control by the year 2050.31．We can infer from the second paragraph that .A．the government’s measures to enlarge forest coverage workedB．laws made to protect the natural forests were not so effectiveC．measures of protecting forest were not taken in East ChinaD．the cutting of trees in natural forests was legal before 199832．The underlined word “stipulated” in paragraph two means .A．increased B．demanded C．reduced D．controlled33．We know from the third paragraph that .A．the desertification has been under controlB．the farmland is much larger than desertsC．desertification area will be 2.65 million sq km in 2050D．forest coverage rate is lower than 28 percent at present34．Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?A．China’s progress in preserving forest is appreciated by UN.B．Lots of farmland and deserts have been reforested up to now.C．The nationwide sand control program includes three stages.D．The desertification will be completely ended by the year 2030.35．The passage mainly talks about .A．resource and environment problems facing ChinaB．China’s Sustainable Develo pment Strategy on ForestryC．protection of forests and control of desertificationD．desertification sources under effective controlCLike a good academic, Jean Adilifu did her homework.The assistant principal for foreign languages at the Medgar Even College Preparatory School in New York had all the data at her fingertips before responding to questions about the recently released China Daily Gallup Poll(民意调查).“Spanish is the No 1 foreign language offered in the schools across the country. French is second and Chinese is third, but growing rapidly.” Adilifu added.In the survey of 2007 US citizens and 250 opinion leaders, conducted in December, four choices were given to the question, “If you were given a chance to learn a new foreign language, which language would you rather learn?”Not surprisingly, Spanish was the easy winner with 58 percent, but Chinese placed second at 15 percent. Arabic was third with 11 percent and Japanese followed at 10 percent.This is consistent with the US census data(户口普查资料) from 2010, showing English as the top spoken language in the United States, followed by Spanish and Chinese as the third.At Adilifu’s preparatory school, all sixth grades are required to take Chinese.Teacher Michael Jiang, who works closely with young children every day, sees the change in how China is viewed.“In the old times, people looked at China and thought of communism. But today young kids see Chinese and the beauty of the culture.” Jiang said.Adilifu mentioned the exposure of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the positive media description it received as a huge motivation for US understanding of China. Adilifu attended theGames and talked excitedly about the impressive and grand production of the opening and closing ceremonies.The two-week world event also rid people of the viewpoint of China being a threat(威胁) and helped open up many avenues for the long-isolated(长期孤立的) land.Strong relations between China and US were either very or somewhat important, said 71 percent of the respondents in the survey.The opinion leaders represented US government officials, think tank leaders, media personnel, CEOs and university staffs.36．Chinese has become the choice for the Americans to learn a foreign language.A．first B．second C．third D．last37．The reasons for the young in US to learn Chinese don’t include .A．the US government policy B．the beauty of Chinese cultureC．the relationship between China and US D．the success of the Beijing Olympics 38．Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Beijing Olympics?A．It is a great help for the Americans to know China.B．It motivates the Americans to change their opinions on China.C．It makes a good impression on the American people.D．It makes the relationship between China and US complicated.39．We know from the last sentence that .A．the opinions mainly represent the people of upper class in USB．the survey was only conducted among officials and leadersC．the opinions will influence the leaders and officials in USD．the survey was highly thought of by high officials and leaders40．The writer of the passage intends to tell us the fact that .A．the Beijing Olympics is of great influenceB．more and more people in US are learning ChineseC．it is of great importance to learn a foreign languageD．people have different opinions on learning ChineseDIn any culture, the development of self-control is important. This ability, which depends on the prefrontal cortex(前颚皮层), provides the basis for mental flexibility, social skills and regulation. It predicts success in education, career and marriage. Indeed, childhood self-control is twice as important as intelligence in predicting academic achievement. Contrarily, poor self-control in primary school increases the risk of adult financial difficulties, criminal behavior, single parenthood and drug dependence.Traditionally, Asian students succeed in part because they show good self-control from an early age. In one study, Chinese preschoolers were six months ahead of American children in developing mental control. Another study found that Korean 3-year-olds did as well on such tasksas British children who were 17-months older.Self-control can be built through practice. Chinese parenting emphasizes child training, which combines close supervision(监管) of performance with strong financial support and motivation for the child’s efforts. This approach comes at a great cost to parents and children. East Asian students study long and hard.Fortunately for American parents, psychologists find that children can develop self-control through their own effort. Behavior is powerfully shaped not only by parents or teachers but also by children themselves. The key is to take advantage of the child’s own drives for play, social interaction and other rewards.Effective approaches for building self-control combine fun with progressively increasing challenges. Rather than force activities onto an unwilling child, take advantage of his or her individual tendencies. When children develop self-control through their own effort for happiness, no parental guidance is required. Find something that the child is crazy about but that requires active effort. Whether it’s doing baseball statistics or making (but not passively watching) YouTube videos, favorite hobbies build mental staying power that can also be used for math homework. 41．The first paragraph tells us .A．the importance of self-control B．the definition of self-controlC．self-control in our education D．self-control and achievement42．Good self-control in the early age can probably .A．guarantee the success of one’s career B．increases the possibility of one’s failure C．bring positive influence to a person D．influence one’s intelligence greatly 43．We can learn from the second paragraph that .A．Asian students are much cleverer in an early ageB．good self-control contributes much to the success of Asian studentsC．17-months old British children are cleverer than Korean 3-year-oldsD．American preschoolers’ mental control is developed half a year earlier44．East Asian students study long and hard because their parents .A．encourage them by giving them moneyB．not only supervise but also motivate themC．train their self-control through their own effortsD．train their intelligence intentionally45．We learn from the last two paragraphs that .A．children are crazy about making efforts to develop their self-controlB．children’s self-control can be shaped by parents and teachersC．effective approaches for building self-control can combine with mathD．developing self-control through their own effort is most important第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
