But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired—maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.Several yards away, Frank, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, “Oh, my God, she fell in!” Frank didn’t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you! ”his girlfriend screamed after him.She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse.Lisa thought she’d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn’t, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40一minute train ride downtown—just as he had been seconds after the rescue, which made her think about her reaction at the time. “I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die,” she explained.Q26 : What was the most probable cause for Lisa’s weakness?（D）A. She had run a long way.B. She felt hot in the subway.C. She had done a 1ot of work.D. She had donated blood the night before.Q27 :How did Frank save Lisa?（A）A. By lifting her to the platform.B.

After she was back on the platform.C. After the police and fire officials came.D. When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.Q29 : Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?(D)A. Because they would miss their train.B. Because he didn’t see the train coming.C. Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift.D. Because she was afraid the train would kill him.4.It's only 4 hours flying time from Sydney, but a world away. What better place to rest than a country where the only place people hurry is on the football field and things are done in "Fiji time"?Viti Lev -- Great Fiji -- is the largest island.

And with a climate that changes only for five degrees between seasons, there's never a bad time to come.From cities to villages, from mountains to beaches, from water sports to wooden artworks, Fiji can give you more adventures and special experiences than you could find almost any where in the world.Whenever you come, wherever you go, you're sure to see some unforgettable events. From war dances to religious songs. From market days to religious days. It's not just staged for tourists; it's still a part of everyday life in Fiji. And any one of us can enjoy Fiji's spirit by being part of the traditional sharing of yaqona — a drink made from the root of a Fiji plant.So why not join us for the experience of a lifetime?Q30 : Where is the international airport of Fiji?

However，I soon discovered that city life has its problems too．One big disadvantage is money—it costs so much to go out，not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution．I suffer from asthma(哮喘)，and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car，I seldom use it because of the traffic jams．One choice is to go by bicycle，but that can be quite dangerous．Of course there are advantages．First，there is so much to do in the city，whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动)．Besides，there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position．Finally，if you like shopping，the variety of goods is very surprising—and，what is more，shops are often only a short walk away．Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is，when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties.However，as you get older，and especially if you have small children，the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.Q33 : What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? (C)A．Staying on the farm．B．Moving to the countryside.C．Leaving home for the city．D．Running away from the school.Q34 : Which of the following is true about the writer?(D)A．He is very old now．B．He is in good health.C．He prefers driving a car．D．He lives in the city now.Q35 : What does the speaker try to do in the passage ?
