    　Our boat floated on, between walls of forest which were too thick to allow us a view of the land we were
    passing through, although we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through
    chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed:
    where the jungle did not actually spread down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore.
    In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous
    creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one's way with
    knives the whole way. So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman
    would pick us up and take us to civilization. 　　
         We lived on fish, any fruit and nuts we could pick up out of the water. As we had no fire, we had to eat
    everything, including the fish, raw. I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy
    the experience: perhaps sea-fish which don't live in the mud are less tasteless. After eating my fish, I lay back
    and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice, and ice cream. In the never-ending heat of the jungle, ice
    cream was a particularly frequent dream.　　
         As for water, there was a choice. We could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst. We drank the
    water. Men who have just escaped what had appeared to certain death lose all worries about such small things
    as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result. One day we passed
    another village, but fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time:
    we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again.
    1. The only thing that they could see in the boat was _______. 　　
    A. chains of hills 　　　　
    B. high walls
    C. vast land 　　　　　　　
    D. tall trees 　
    2. They were prevented from landing because they could not _______. 　　
    A. find the place marked on the map 　　 　　
    B. go through the thick forest 　　
    C. go across the soft mud 　　　　　　　　 　
    D. see the plains 　
    3. This passage is mainly about ______. 　　
    A. the problem of landing 　　　 　
    B. a terrible experience 　　
    C. walls of forest　　　　　　　　
    D. the fishermen's worries 　
    4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? 　　
    A. The author and his partners were trapped during scientific exploration. 　　
    B. They were floating on a small boat in the jungle without help. 　　
    C. The dirty water they drank didn't threaten their lives. 　　
    D. They had no food or drinking water prepared.

    Li Lu’ou thought he did the right thing by calling 110 when he saw his two classmates in trouble on the corner of a dark street.

    Li and his classmates from No.2 Middle School affiliated to Beijing Normal University spent this year’s Valentine’s Day(情人节) selling roses on the street. As night approached, they cycled back with over 200 yuan in their pockets.

    Suddenly, a gang of robbers jumped out at them. The five robbers were tall and strong, so Li ran away to call the police. He thought it would be the most practical thing to do and he was right. His classmates returned safe and sound.

    So, what would you have done in Li’s situation? Would you have got off your bike and fought the robbers to rescue your friends?

    A new Beijing student code(守则) does not encourage you to risk(冒险) your life to help them.

    The new code was introduced to more than 1.7 million primary and middle school students in the city at the start of the new term.

    It has cut words which might encourage youngsters to risk their lives for others in dangerous situations. Gone are the old calls, which had been in place since 1987, for students to “fight criminals(犯罪分子) courageously” and “sacrifice themselves to save other”. Children’s heroic acts usually left them injured or even dead because they failed to fully foresee the dangers of their actions.

    A well-known example was Lai Ning, who was listed among the “top 10 model young pioneers” in 1989 after he lost his life trying to put out a fire at the age of 14.

    The deaths connected to teenagers “heroic acts” started a national wide debate(争论) about the protection of youngsters.

    Wei Lusheng, a parent in Beijing, said schools must first teach children how to protect themselves, before learning from heroes.

    But educators thought the spirit of courage should not be thrown away in the new student code.

    “Getting rid of the ‘fight criminals courageously’ words do not mean we deny the spirit of ‘fearlessness’ and ‘readiness’ to help others”, said Li Jing, an official in Beijing. “But, we should be more rational(理智的) about the spirit of sacrifice.”

    Li Lu’ou agreed. “Cherishing life is no reason to be a coward,” he said. “But you need to おmake sure you are able to offer help. For example, it would cause more trouble if I jumped into water to rescue someone drowning, but didn’t know how to swim. In that situation it’s better to call the police or an adult.”

    1.Which is true about Li and his classmates?

    A.　　  They bought roses for each other on Valentine’s Day.

    B.　　  They called 110 immediately they were held up by a gang of robbers.

    C.　　  Li risked his life for his classmates in the dangerous situation.

    D.　　 Instead of fighting the robbers Li thought it right for him to call the police.

    2.The new student code was introduced in Beijing because_____________.

    A. students are facing more danger than they used to

    B.the old student code didn’t include the spirit of courage

    C.the old one didn’t tell students how to protect themselves while helping others in trouble

    D.the old student code encouraged students to sacrifice themselves to save others

    3.Which can be inferred about Lai Ning?

    A.　　  He was one of the top 10 model young pioneers in 1987.

    B.　　  If it weren’t him, the forest fire would not have been put out.

    C.　　  According to the new code, he shouldn’t have risked his life to put out the fire.

    D.　　 His deeds did not agree with what the old student code encouraged.

    4.The underlined word “deny” in the second last paragraph means “_____________”.

    A. agree with　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    B.disagree with

    C.connect with　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D.object to

    5.According to the new student code which of the following statements is right?

    A.　　  There will be more criminals after the new student code was introduced.

    B.　　  The police in Beijing will have a more difficult time in keeping order.

    C.　　  The spirit of “fearlessness” and “readiness” to help others will be thrown away.

    D.  Teenagers are advised to make sure they are able to offer help when they want to.

    　　Two University of Oklahoma scientists are starting research that they hope will someday lead to the development of a vaccine(疫苗)to fight against the HIV Virus, which causes AIDS．

    　　The research, to be carried out by Mark Lang, an assistant professor at the OU Health Sciences Center, and microbiologist John West, will examine the basic aspects of the immune system, rather than the complex aspects of the virus．

    　　They theorize that if a key function of the body's immune system can be found exactly, it could be the first step toward developing a vaccine．

    　　“To develop a new vaccine, we realzed we first have to study and understand the immune system,”Lang said．

    　　Lang said their work will focus on researching the basic antibody responses from Natural Killer－like T－cells．A potential vaccine would contain NKT cells and would improve the immune system's antibodies, which fight outside invaders such as HIV by preventing them from entering cells or giving the immune system enough of a boost to kill them．

    　　NKT cells, which have been a part of research into cancer and other diseases, have not previously been the focus of HIV research, Lang said．

    　　The research will last 18 months, with tests being performed on mice．The Oklahoma Center is giving ＄300,000 toward the research, and if the research proves promising, Lang and West will apply to the National Institutes of Health for more funding．

    　　“If we are successful, we will have made an important contribution to the field, but we will still be several steps away from an effective vaccine,”Lang said．

    　　Lang said that in a best –case scenario(最好的情况)their research could lead to a vaccine ready for use in about four years．

    (1)

    The research to be carried out will focus on ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the immune system

    B．

    the test performed on mice

    　　Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg．I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there were a whole lot of antique(古董)shops near my home．So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me．I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待)．I was quite wrong．The man wouldn't even look at my chair．

    　　The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third, and the fourth－so I decided that my approach must be wrong．

    　　I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind．I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes , not a bad chair．How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds ,” I said．“OK,” he said, “I'll give you twenty pounds．” “It's got a slightly broken leg, ”I said．“Yes I saw that, it's nothing．”

    　　Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited．“What will you do with it?” I asked．“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done．” “I'll buy it,” I said．“What do you mean?Y ou've just sold it to me,” he said．“Yes, I know but I've changed my mind．I'm sorry, I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it．” “You must be crazy,” he said．Then suddenly the penny dropped．“ I know what you want．You want me to repair your chair．” “ You're right,” I said．“And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘ Would you mend this chair for me'?” “I wouldn't have agreed to do it ,” he said．“We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble．But I'll mend this for you, shall we say for a five?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused(感到有趣)by the whole thing．
