Dan’s brother John offered to go instead though he did not know anything about sailing. Mark agreed and they set out to sea.Soon they found themselves in a thick fog. Mark was sure they would be hit by a big ship. Luckily, he saw a large buoy (浮标) through the fog and decided to tie the boat to it for safety. As he was getting onto the buoy, however, he dropped the wet rope. The boat moved away in the fog carrying John, who did not know how to use the radio. He drifted (漂流) about and was not seen until twelve hours later.Mark spent the night on the buoy. In the early morning he fell asleep. He was having a bad dream when a shout woke him up. A ship, the Good Hope, came up and he climbed onto it and thanked the captain(船长). The captain told him that John had been picked up by another ship and the ship’s captain had sent out a message. “Without the message, I would not have found you on the buoy,” he said.( ) 45.

MarkBAs other school students have begun a life of leisure(业余) during their winter holiday, 8-year-old Zhang Huimin is even busier than usual because her father has asked her to try a 60-kilometer run every day.Zhang Huimin, from south China’s Haikou city, surprised the public with her performance during the marathon on New Year’s Day. The girl crossed the finishing line after 3 hours, 28 minutes and 45 seconds, only 19 seconds behind the winner of the race.Realizing his daughter’s talent(才能) in sports, Zhang Huimin’s father Zhang Jianmin encourages Zhang Huimin to start running at 6:30 in the morning every day. She gets a break after running 45 kilometers. From two to three o’clock in the afternoon she begins the second part of training. Finishing up the remaining(剩下的) distance for the day.However, many people have advised Zhang Jianmin to give up his strict training, which they say would cause severe（严重的）pain on the little girl. But Zhang Jianmin said that his plan was made according to his young daughter’s real ability. He adds she looks good after her daily exercises and that nothing unusual has happened yet. So he thinks that his daughter doesn’t use enough effort in her training, and that perhaps he should increase her daily goal.A PE teacher at Hainan University says marathon training can help young minds develop persistence（毅力）. But, on the other hand, it’s not a good idea to make a child do large amounts of exercise, which could have too much pressure on his or her heart.( ) 48.

One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars with gas. Americans won’t live without cars!Most Americans find it hard to think what live would be like without a car. However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. The polluted air is poisonous and dangerous to health.One way to get rid of (排除) the polluted air is to build a new kind of car. That’s what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.Another way is to take the place of the car engine (发动机) by something else. Engineers are now working on some new cars. Many makers bel ieve that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their cars. They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean.But this change does not come easily—a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment (失业).Although cars have brought us a better life, they have also brought us new problems.( ) 51. Some large car factories in the USA are trying to build a new kind of car. This kind of car ______.A. is clean in itselfB. is used to clean streetsC. does not pollute the airD. is easier to make( ) 52.

The writer wants to tell us that _______.A. riding a bike is the only way outB. the number of cars must be cut downC. man won’t live without carsD. cars bring us a better life and serious problemsDJack thought himself a basketball fan. He watched quite a lot of American NBA basketball games. Not only did he watch them, he spent much of his free time playing on the court too. Then came the final year of his middle school. All of his regular teammates stopped showing up on the court because they were simply too busy preparing for the high school entrance exam to play. He was, of course, under much stress himself, like everyone else. A good exam result meant a good high school; a mediocre(平庸的)score meant a mediocre school. Much was at stake. However, he loved basketball so much that he still found time to play, this time with a group of guys who were said to have skipped classes(逃课)before.Some of his teachers started worrying about him. They asked his mother to go to school to let her know that Jack was hanging out with problem kids. When his mother returned home that day, she wanted to t alk to Jack. Knowing the purpose of her visit to the school, Jack thought his mother would punish (惩罚) him for befriending those bad guys. To his surprise, his mother was not angry with him at all. She wanted to hear her son's side of the story. So Jack told his mother about what he knew of Simon and Peter. Simon's parents were badly ill; Peter'sfather had lost his job. They both seemed to Jack to be normal（正常的）kids. Jack's mother thought for a moment, then went on to say that she was OK with her son playing with them and that she and her son should think of ways to help these kids. Soon Jack's mum introduced some part-time jobs to Simon and Peter, which they accepted. She believed in her son and cared about those who were less lucky.Jack's basketball friends and he have left for different places, but they still keep in touch. He knows Peter is now a manager of a local bank. Simon is now a freshman at a university. Sadly, it is impossible to get together to play basketball again, but whenever they get on the phone, they talk about it all the time.( )54.
