From the moment an airplane takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to Part II Vocabulary and Structure ( 15 points) Part III Reading Comprehension ( 40 points)climb and when to come down. The air traffic controllers around a busy airport may handle 1000 planes a day. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on the part of the controllers could cause a disaster.Recently, such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers from Toronto. The other was carrying 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb, but he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. Fifteen seconds later, it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.31.What is the main idea of the passage?A) Air travel is much safer than driving a car on a busy motorway.B) There was a disaster recently.C) For air traffic, there is a danger that grows every year.D) Traveling by plane is dangerous.32.Which factor can most seriously endanger airplanes according to this passage?A) Crowded air traffic. B) The large size of airplanes.C) Mistakes by air traffic controllers. D) Bad weather.33.What happened to the two large jets?A) They jumped into each other over a swimming pool.B) They avoided each other by turning in different directions.C) They narrowly escaped crashing into each other.D) One plane climbed above the other.34.Why were the two large jets especially mentioned?A) To show the key role played by air traffic controllers.B) To show the great responsibility shouldered by the pilots.C) To give an example of air disasters.D) To show that air travel is far safer than driving a car.35.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A) The two jets realized the danger and tried to avoid it.B) Driving a car on a busy road is more dangerous than traveling in the air.C) The air traffic controller should be very careful.D) Any small mistake might cause a disaster in air travel.Task 2It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he does so in so short a period of time challenges explanation.Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the w ord obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress, s ociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their voices. This self imitation leads on to deliberate imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.36. By “… challenges explanation”(Para 1), the author means that _________________.A) no explanation is necessary for such an obvious phenomenon.B) no explanation has been made up to now.C) it’s no easy job to provide an ade quate explanationD) it’s high time that an explanation be provided37. The third paragraph is mainly about ___________________.A) the development of babies’ early forms of languageB) the difficulties of babies in learning to speakC) babies’ str ong desire to communicateD) babies’ intention to communicate38. The author’s purpose in writing the second paragraph is to show that children _________.A) usually obey without asking questionsB) are passive in the process of learning to speakC) are born cooperativeD) learn to speak by listening39. From the passage we learn that __________________.A) early starters can learn to speak within only six monthsB) children show a strong desire to communicate by making noisesC) imitation plays an important role in learning to speakD) children have various difficulties in learning to speak40. The best title for this passage would be _________________.A) How babies learn to speakB) Early forms of languageC) A huge task for childrenD) Noise making and language learningTask 3Winter-swimming has become popular in Beijing. Three years ago, few people would go swimming in the icy waters. But now, there is a Winter-swimming Enthusiasts Club with more than 2,000 members. The oldest is 84 years of age and the youngest is only 7. The members are from all walks of life. They may be workers, peasants, soldiers, teachers or students.Though it is now the coldest part of the season and the water temperature in the city’s lakes is around 0℃, many winter-swimmers still swim in the icy waters, even when it is snowing. They enjoy themselves in the lake, while the people by the side of the lake are wearing heavy clothes. Why are so many people interested in winter-swimming? Because winter-swimming can be good for one’s health. Bei Sha is a good example. He is 69 years old, and he had once suffered from heart trouble for 26 years. After ten years of winter-swimming, he is now in good health. Scientists are now studying the effects of winter-swimming on health.41. Among the winter-swimmers, the oldest is ________ years older than the youngest one.A) 91 B) 84 C) 77 D) 742. “The members are from all walks of life” (Para. 1, L. 4) here means that ________.A) the members do different jobs at different placesB) they come from all parts of BeijingC) they are persons of different agesD) they are men and women, old and young43. The winter-swimmers are able to swim in the city waters, even on snowy daysbecause_______.A) they are not afraid of coldB) they often swim in the icy waters and get used to itC) they think they can benefit from itD) winter-swimming can make people healthy44. Winter-swimming has become popular in Beijing because ________.A) more and more people like to swim in winterB) it is more interesting than swimming in summerC) winter-swimmers are brave menD) winter-swimming does a lot of good to one’s health45. The best title for this passage should be _________.A) People in Beijing Like Swimming in WinterB) Winter-swimming-A Craze in BeijingC) People Benefit from Winter-swimmingD) Winter-swimmers Are Brave MenTask 4Those who welcomed the railway saw it as more than a rapid and comfortable means of passing. They actually saw it as a factor in world peace. They did not foresee that the railway would be just one more means for the rapid movement of aggressive armies. None of them foresaw that the more we are together-the more chances there are of war. Any boy or girl who is one of a large family knows that.Whenever any new invention is put forward, those for it and those against it can always find medical men to approve or condemn. The anti-railway group produced doctors who said that tunnels would be most dangerous to public health: they would produce colds, catarrhs （粘膜炎）and consumptions. The deafening noise and the glare of the engine fire, would have a bad effect on the nerves. Further, being moved through the air at a high speed would do grave injury to delicate lungs. In those with high blood-pressure, the movement of the train might produce apoplexy （中风）. The sudden plunging of a train into the darkness of a tunnel, and the equally sudden rush into full daylight, would cause great damage to eyesight. But the pro-railway group was of course able to produce equally famous medical men to say just the opposite. They said that the speed and swing of the train would equalize the circulation, promote digestion, tranquilize the nerves, and ensure good sleep.The actual rolling-stock was anything but comfortable. If it was a test of endurance to sit for four hours outside a coach in rain, or inside in dirty air, the railway offered little more in the way of comfort. Certainly the first-class carriages had cushioned seats; but the second-class had only narrow bare boards, while the third-class had nothing at all; no seats and no roof; they were just open trucks. So that third-class passengers gained nothing from the new mode except speed. In the matter of comfort, indeed they lost; they did, on the coaches, have a seat, but now they had to stand all the way, which gave opportunities to the comic （滑稽的）press. This kind of thing: A man was seen yesterday buying a third-class ticket for the new London and Birmingham Railway. The state of his mind is being enquired into.A writer in the early days of railways wrote feelingly of both second-and third-class carriages. He made the suggestion that the directors of the railways should have sent all over the world to find the hardest possible wood. Of the open third-class trucks he said that they had the peculiar property of meeting the rain from whatever quarter it came. He described them as horizontal shower-baths, from whose searching power there was no escape.46. All boys and girls in large families know that _________.A）a boy and a girl usually fight when they are togetherB）people tend to be together more than they used to beC）a lot of people being together makes fights likelyD）Railway leads the world to peace47. According to those who welcomed the railway, the railway itself should include all thefollowing except__________.A）the railway enables people travel fastB）the railway brings comfort to peopleC）the railway makes the world peacefulD）the railway leads the world to war as well.48. According to the anti-railway group, all the followings are true but _________.A）tunnels are dangerous to public healthB）the noise and the glare of the engine fire may affect people's nervesC ）the rapid speed through the air does damage to people's lungsD ）to those with high blood-pressure, the rapid speed of the train causes them to die 49. We may safely conclude that __________.B ）SatiricalC ）HumorousD ）Exaggerated ．After eating some apples ， he （51）_______．He and the tree loved each other ．When the boy grew up ，．（53）_______．The tree （54）_______ the boy to play ，I don’t play around trees any more ．" The boy replied ，"I want I need money to buy them ．" "Sorry ，but I don’t have money ，but you can sell ．" The boy was so （56）_______ that he picked all the _______ happily ．The boy never came back after he picked the apples ．The tree ．（59）_______，so he turned to the tree ．And the tree asked ．The tree was again （60）_______and sad ． B) screen C) shadow D) shelf B) no more C) no farther D) no better B) area C) tree D) village B) told C) inspired D) added B) help C ) toys D) fruits B) excited C) embarrassed D) trouble B ) sang C) sold D) left B ）happy C ）concerned D) forgettable B ) sale C) example D) preparation B) lovely C) friendly D) lonely that they could receive the advertising message loud and clear.

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A),B), C), and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letteron the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.I am writing to thank you for the interesting reports which appeared in the July/August '94 edition of the Saturday Evening Post. I am interested in your reports since B12 deficiency(缺乏症) is an inherited disorder in my family. In the late 1950s /early 1960s, a research project was carried out on it by a London medical school.My grandmother was 49 when she started vitamin B12 injections in 1949. She was admitted to the hospital with a blood disease. My mother was 63 when she began vitamin B12 injections. After reading your article, I believe her treatment was started too late. At the time, she almost lost her eyesight and was told that she had other diseases.Earlier this year, I visited my doctor and explained that I felt very tired and asked for a blood test to establish whether I was suffering from B12 deficiency. I was told I was much too young and that only people in their 80s suffered B12 deficiency. I told him he was wrong and that research was carried out on my family 30 years ago.I have always believed that prevention is better than cure. I now know why I love Kellogg's Honey Nut Cornflakes(⽟⽶⽚). They contain vitamins, including B12! If foods contain added vitamins, as you suggest in your article, then B12 deficiency and diseases associated with it should be left to the past.36. The passage you have just read is most probably ________.A) a thank-you letter to a medical doctorB) an advertisement for vitamin B12C) a letter to the editor of a magazineD) a preface to a book on Vitamins37. Why is the author interested in the reports in the Saturday Evening Post?A) He was seriously ill with vitamin B12 deficiency.B) He wanted to prevent himself from suffering from vitamin B12 deficiency.C) He wanted to cure his family members of an inherited disorder.D) He was curious about the latest medical developments.38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A) Doctors are not always reliable.B) Most foods contain vitamins, including B12.C) The author was determined to get rid of the inherited disorder in his family.D) Vitamin B12 deficiency can be prevented if measures are taken early.39. The reports the author had read probably told him ________.A) to have his blood tested earlyB) to take food rich in vitaminsC) to have regular vitamin injectionsD) not to believe his doctor40. Doctors think that the usual case of B12 deficiency occurs when ________.A) a patient is at an old ageB) a person is very youngC) a person doesn't take foods containing vitaminsD) a patient stops vitamin injectionsTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. University of Arizona researcher Dr. William Rathji says that after a study based on looking into garbage cans, the average family wastes at least $150 per year in food.“Homemakers go out of their way to save pennies at the store and then don’t realize that waste of edible(可⾷⽤的) foods adds up much more at home,” said Dr. Rathji. He was one of about 100 food experts who met in Boise for a conference on food waste and ways to prevent it.American families throw out between 8% and 20% of edible food at a cost of $4.5 billion per year. That’s almost as much as the federal government spends every year for food stamps and child nutrition programs.He found that food items which are costly and in short supply tend to be wasted more. During the 1973 meat shortage, meat waste increased to 9%, compared with 3% in 1974 and 1975. Sugar and sugar products waste jumped to 19% in 1975, when sugar prices doubled from the previous year.Dr. Rathji theorizes that high prices force consumers to experiment, sometimes buy in large quantities. In the case of meat, sometimes low-priced cuts for unappetizing varieties are purchased, consumers then tend to waste more.His theory is that the more variety in food bought, the more wasted. Regular bread is wasted at about a 10% rate, but specialty breads and rolls are wasted at a 20% rate.If people are eating the same thing every day, they learn how to manage it. But if you’re trying to pull something out of the cookbook every night, That’s bound to be some waste.Another finding is that lower income families waste less food than middle and upper incomefamilies.

You should write your answers briefly (in nomore than 4 words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.YOUR BUSINESS NAME CAN BE ONE OF YOURMOST EFFECTIVE AND LEAST EXPENSIVEMARKETING TOOLSToo often, however, we choose a name without giving thought to its marketing value. Some people opt for（选择）using their own names; others may create a clever but obscure(模糊的) name, or one that has sentimental（感情上的）value. As a result, the names might end up costing them business, instead of attracting it. A common mistake in choosing a name is selecting a misleading name; for example, calling a firm “Writing Services”while it actually produces medical equipment. Another mistake is choosing a name that is hard to spell or pronounce. It is also a mistake to select a name that is too general, such as ABC Company. Your main goal should be to choose a name which your customers can easily remember whenever they want your product or service.Task 4Directions:The following is a list of terms of tendering.

You shoulddecide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet.Passage 1Medical researchers who specialize in determining the cause of heart attacks have found that more heavy coffee drinkers have heart attacks than light or non-coffee drinkers. However, the researchers are not yet ready to make this statement and cautious against other people’s doing so. They have said that there is a relationship between heavy coffee drinking and heart attacks, but the relationship is not necessarily one of cause and effect.If the life styles of people who have heart attacks are examined, the possibility that heavy coffee drinking is only coincidental（偶然的）can be seen. Heart attack victims’lives share certain features: pressure, tension, busyness, activity and tiredness. These go hand in hand with heavy coffee drinking. Ordinary coffee which contains caffeine（咖啡因）is a stimulant（刺激物）to a tired person. It is a needed break of a busy, nervous habit for a tense person.You may have nothing to worry about if you are a heavy coffee drinker. The way you eat, sleep, work and play is probably far more important.21. If you are a heavy coffee drinker, possibly you are suffering from __________.A. heart attackB. tension and tirednessC. a needed breakD. business activity22.

Semester Systems are one of them.The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examination. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the “4-1-4” calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February.26.

Well, three dollars is all its worth to me.”“All right then,” said the young man, smiling. “I’ll take it.” He pulled out hiswallet. “I saw it in front of your shop with something marked $10, but I thought maybe it was a mistake and you could tell me how much it was worth.”36.

151大英I期末模拟试卷

英语第一册期末考试模拟试卷Part I Reading Comprehension (Scanning and Matching) (10%)Directions:In this part, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs represented by a letter respectively. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Match the number of each statement with the corresponding letter.How to Make Attractive and Effective PowerPoint PresentationsA) Microsoft PowerPoint has dramatically changed the way in which academic and businesspresentations are made. This article outlines few tips on making more effective and attractive PowerPoint presentations.The TextB) Keep the wording clear and simple. Use active, visual language. Cut unnecessary words—a good rule of thumb is to cut paragraphs down to sentences, sentences into phrases, andphrases into key words. Limit the number of words and lines per slide. Try the Rule of Five-five words per line, five lines per slide. If too much text appears on one slide, use the AutoFit feature to split it between two slides. Click within the placeholder to display the AutoFit Options button (its symbol is two horizontal lines with arrows above and below), then click on the button and choose Split Text between Two Slides from the submenu.C) Font size for titles should be at least 36 to 40, while the text body should not be smaller than24. Use only two font styles per slide—one for the title and the other for the text. Choose twofonts that visually contrast with each other. Garamond Medium Condensed and Impact are good for titles, while Garamond or Tempus Sans can be used for the text body.D) Embed the fonts in your presentation, if you are not sure whether the fonts used in thepresentation are present in the computer that will be used for the presentation. To embed the fonts: (1) On the File menu, click Save As. (2) On the toolbar, click Tools, click Save Options, select the Embed TrueType Fonts check box, and then select Embed characters in use only.E) Use colors sparingly; two to three at most. You may use one color for all the titles and anotherfor the text body. Be consistent from slide to slide. Choose a font color that contrasts well with the background.F) Capitalizing the first letter of each word is good for the title of slides and suggests a more formalsituation than having just the first letter of the first word capitalized. In bullet point lines, capitalize the first word and no other words unless they normally appear capped. Upper and lower case lettering is more readable than all capital letters. Moreover, current styles indicate that using all capital letters means you are shouting. If you have text that is in the wrong case, select the text, and then click Shift+F3 until it changes to the case style that you like. Clicking Shift+F3 toggles the text case between ALL CAPS, lower case, and Initial Capital styles.G) Use bold or italic typeface for emphasis. Avoid underlining, it clutters up the present ation.Don’tcenter bulleted lists or text. It is confusing to read. Left align unless you have a good reason not to. Run “spell check”on your show when finished.The BackgroundH) Keep the background consistent. Simple, light textured backgrounds work well. Complicatedtextures make the content hard to read. If you are planning to use many clips in your slides, select a white background. If the venue of your presentation is not adequately light-proof, selecta dark-colored background and use any light colo r for text. Minimize the use of “bells andwhistles”such as sound effects, “flying words” and multiple transitions. Don’t use red in any fonts or backgrounds. It is an emotionally overwhelming color that is difficult to see and read. The ClipsI) Animations are best used subtly; too much flash and motion can distract and annoy viewers. Donot rely too heavily on those images that were originally loaded on your computer with the rest of Office. You can easily find appropriate clips on any topic through Google Images. While searching for images, do not use long search phrases as is usually done while searching the web-use specific words.J) When importing pictures, make sure that they are smaller than two megabytes and are in a .jpg format. Larger files can slow down your show. Keep graphs, charts and diagrams simple, if possible. Use bar graphs and pie charts instead of tables of data. The audience can then immediately pick up the relationships.The PresentationK) If you want your presentation to directly open in the slide show view, save it as a slide show file using the following steps. Open the presentation you want to save as a slide show. On the File menu, click Save As. In the Save as type list, click PowerPoint Show. Your slide show file will be saved with a ppt file extension. When you double-click on this file, it will automatically start your presentation in slide show view. When you’re done, PowerPoint automatically closes and you return to the desktop. If you want to edit the slide show file, you can always open it from PowerPoint by clicking Open on the File menu.L) Look at the audience, not at the slides, whenever possible. If using a laser pointer, don’t move it too fast. For example, if circling a number on the slide, do it slowly. Never point the laser at the audience. Black out the screen (use “B” on the keyboard) after the point has been made, to put the focus on you. Press the key again to continue your presentation.M) You can use the shortcut command [Ctrl]P to access the Pen tool during a slide show. Click with your mouse and drag to use the Pen tool to draw during your slide show. To erase everything you’ve drawn, press the E key. To turn off the Pen tool, press [Esc] once.MiscellaneousN) Master Slide Set-Up: The “master slide” will allow you to make changes that are reflected on every slide in your presentation. You can change fonts, colors, backgrounds, headers, and footers at the “master slide” level. First, go to the “View” menu. Pull down the “Master” menu.Select the “slide master” menu. You may now make changes at this level that meet your presentation needs.1. In order to meet your presentation needs, you can make changes at the “slide master” level.2. Pressing the E key can help you to erase everything you've drawn.3. In each slide, the font styles for the title and the text should contrast with each other.4. When making the PowerPoint, the wording of the text should not be complicated.5. The ways in which academic and business presentations are made have been changed byMicrosoft PowerPoint.6. When importing pictures, make sure that they are smaller than two megabytes.7. Sound effects should be used as less frequently as possible.8. Centering bulleted lists or text can not help to read.9. When making the presentation, you should look at the audience as possible as you can.10. A more formal situation is capitalizing the first letter of the first word.Part II Reading Comprehension（Reading in Depth）(40%)Section A(10%)Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices.

From Thailand to Tennessee, kids wear clothes with his picture on them. Jerseys (球服) with his number 23 on the front, jackets with the Bulls logo on the back, and Air Jordan athletic shoes all reflect the fame of this superstar. Michael Jordan has become the most famous attraction of the world’s favorite spectator sport.Michael Jordan was born in 1963 in Brooklyn, New York. Growing up, Michael did not look like a future superstar. He was very shy and didn’t like to talk to other people about himself. He was also very short. He showed little promise of having a future career in basketball. When he tried out for the freshman team in high school, Michael didn’t make it. The next year, however, after a large growth spurt, he made the team. The rest is history.Michael’s road to fame began at the University of North C arolina. He brought an acrobatic (杂技的) style to the game that few had seen before. Michael used his quickness and strength to reach the basket again and again. He became famous for his powerful slam dunk.

It wasn’tcalled the White House until Teddy Roosevelt named it in 1901.James Hoban designed the White House in 1792. He was awarded the job because he had won a contest sponsored by the government. His design had been selected as the best.President John Adams was the first to live in the White House. When he and his wife, Abigail moved in, it was a huge mansion in the middle of a swamp. Many of the rooms were unfinished. Abigail used the famous East Room as a drying room for laundry. More rooms were decorated every year. Rare shrubs and trees were planted on the grounds.Yet, all this work was for nothing. In the War of 1812, the British burned the mansion to the ground. The White House was rebuilt in 1817. The beauty of its decorations and furnishings has been growing ever since.26. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A) President John Adams and the White HouseB) White House TodayC) A House Full of HistoryD) White House Before 181227.

We can infer from the passage that the White House was first built ___________.A) on a low and damp site B) among trees and flowersC) on a small island D) on a small hillPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passageI don't ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement--jobs, research papers, awards--was viewed through the lens of gender politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don't talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn't want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don't study sociology or political theory.Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women's college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer: 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don't dismiss those concerns. Still, I don't tell them "war" stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that's a sight worth talking about.31. Why doesn't the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?A) She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.B) She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.C) She is not good at telling stories of the kind.D) She finds space research more important.32.

They may get too tired or have heat-stroke if the weather is too hot. They may get hurt in certain activities such as bungee jumping and mountain climbing. Some tourists may have skin problems caused by certain kinds of plants, insects, or from eating seafood. Other tourists may have stomach trouble if they are not acclimatized to local water and food. Air-sickness, car-sickness or sea-sickness is also a problem for some travelers.Clearly, it is necessary to pack a small first-aid kit with you if you go traveling. The kit should contain necessary medicine, sun cream, insect spray and some bank-aid. In addition to that, loose-fitting clothing, long dresses, long trousers and long-sleeved shirt fastened at the end are needed when traveling long distances outdoors. Remember, some insects can bite through clothing if it lies closely against the skin. And some insect-carried diseases can even be dangerous.At all times, personal cleanliness is of the greatest importance. You should always wash our hands after using the toilet and before preparing or eating food. About 20-50 per cent of tourists suffer from diarrhea caused by infections of various kinds of bacteria or viruses.If you are with some friends from abroad traveling in China, you can suggest some local herbal products. Many traditional Chinese methods have been proved to be very effective and safe in treating certain illnesses. What if your friends are reluctant to try them? Facts are the most convincing advertisement. As with Western medicine, some Chinese herbal treatments could have a satisfactory result without any danger or side effects. For instance, medicated oil is good for both headache and insect bites. It is also helpful for other sicknesses. Chinese herbal teas can soothe both an upset stomach and mild heat-stroke. Yunnan White Medicine Spray will greatly reduce the pain of a stiff neck or a broken leg. All these have been widely accepted in many other countries outside China.So bring some Chinese herbal products along in your first-aid kit and introduce them to our friends from abroad when you travel around China with them. Your friends will not only appreciate your kindness, but also get to know the satisfying effects of Chinese medicine.1.

Write T/F accordingly.The Loving Heart Will Go OnCarmen’s mother Maria had just survived a serious heart attack. But her life was in constant danger without a heart transplant.Both the mother and daughter knew that the chances were very small: finding a donor her that matched Maria’s blood type and body size could take years. However, Carmen was determined to save her mother’s life. The young woman kept contacting hospitals all over the country. She also stuck a card to her car. It read, “If I’m in an accident, please make sure my heart is donated to my mother who is on the third floor of Central Hospital”.Days stretched into weeks. Weeks stretched into months. By Christmas, Maria had trouble walking from one end of the room to the other. Carmen was in despair. She fell into a corner of the hospital and began to cry.“Are you okay?” a man asked.“No,” she said, looking up. “My mother is dying.”Carmen sobbed as she told the stranger her story. This middle-aged man with a gentle manner was named Frank. His wife, Cheryl, a tender and devoted mother of four lovely children, had been in hospital with a brain disease. Doctors expected her to return home within a week.However, things didn’t turn out as expected. Cheryl went into a deep coma. Frank was told that there was only a million-to-one chance. Tow days later, it became clear that Cheryl would not make it though the night. This time, Carmen found Frank standing against a wall, crying. “She’s leaving us. She’ll never wake up again.”Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. He knew that Cheryl had always wanted to donate something from herself. She had been very open about it and had checked “yes”on her driver’s license. Could her heart go to Carmen’s mother?After reviewing the data, doctors informed Frank that his wife’s heart was by some miracle a perfect fit for Carmen’s mother. They were able to carry out the transplant.That night, when Cheryl was declared dead, Frank knocked at Maria’s door. She was sitting on the bed praying for Frank’s family as she had been doing every day recently. Though Maria had never met Frank before, they both felt a strange bond as they hugged and cried. Carmen stood by crying in a low voice, “I can never pay you back.” Her voice was choked with tears.On New Year’s Eve, Carmen stood by Frank’s family at Cheryl’s funeral, who were singing one of their favorite songs, “My heart will go on.” One day later, on New Year’s Day, Maria woke up with Cheryl’s heart. Yes, Cheryl’s loving heart would go on, for it was alive in another loving mother’s chest.1. Carmen helped her mother survive a bad heart attack. ( F )2.

On occasion, we got into arguments with the neighbors' children; I still remember putting dirty water on a neighbor's blond hair because we were arguing about something. I got into a lot of trouble for that.Although our parents disapproved of many things that we did, they usually did not get very angry. They always tried to discuss the situation with us the first time and rarely screamed at us. I remember having long conversations about why we ought to behave in a certain way.My brothers, sister, and I always laughed and joked with each other. I can still remember how we joked with our older brother when he first was able to grow a beard. He was very proud of his "beard", but we all laughed because it was nothing more than three or four blond hairs on his face. My mother always looked at us disapproving when we laughed so loudly, but my brother never got angry. He thought it was funny.My sister, however, did get very angry on several occasions. We always let each other use our belongings, but we had to ask permission before taking them. One time，I borrowed my sister's white dress without asking and got juice on it. When she found out, she screamed at me angrily, telling me that I was unreliable and infantile. I felt very sad，and my mother was unhappy because I broke our family's rule about borrowing belongings. It was a very emotional situation. My sister and I talked and talked, and finally I kissed her to show her that I was sorry1. What is not true of their childhood behavior? _________D__A.

At long weekends and holiday times when he wanted to get home quickly he always found himself behind hundreds of other cars moving slowly along the notorious foreign workers route through Germany and Austria.How easy it all was for police and emergency services. A siren, a flashing light -- and like magic everyone was out of the way. Going home from work one night he passed a garage. And there in front of him was the answer to his problem. An o1d ambulance was for sale. The red cross has been removed. But not the flashing light --- or the siren. He tried the light. It flashed magnificently. He tried the siren. That too sounded impressive. He bought the ambulance and opened up for himself a dream world of motoring.It began early in the morning, all his luggage in the back of the ambulance and the motorway in Germany looking reasonably clear. Soon, as always, a long line of traffic appeared ahead. He switched on the flashing light and set off the siren. Cars swiftly slowed and felled off the fast lane. Other cars stopped and drivers waved him ahead to an open road all his own. In record time he crossed the border into Austria. The big bluff was working. Police even waved him through the confusion caused by an accident.But then the Yugoslav made his big mistake. Until then he had only stopped for petrol. Now he was driving past a real accident -- lights flashing too late to realize that it was not another traffic jam as he had assumed. They stopped him, and after hearing the story of his ride across two countries fined him 12.50.1.

The red cross has been removed CA. so he asked the garage to paint another one on.B. but he soon put up a new one.C. but the siren and flashing light still worked.D. because the vehicle did not look like an ambulance any more.4.
