One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked   21  flowers by the police. It was also said that she could  22___ a share of up to £30,000 reward money.
Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in   23  the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible   24  when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him   25 . Then she waited alone for three   26  while armed police prepared to   27   the building.
She said, "I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen
 28   in the car park I was so glad they were there.
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who   29  in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and   30  sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his   31 . She said, "He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact." Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her boss Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the   32  man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki
  33  15 minutes.
"It was about ten past two in the morning   34  the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’. My heart missed a 35 ."
Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers   36  passages and staircases to the top floor room and   37  over the key.
"I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room,   38  I could see the passage. The police kept   39  at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he   40   have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (带上手铐)。

小题1:本题测试词义搭配。本句译文:领导艺术的一个最重要的因素是吸引力。这不是指普通意义上的吸引力,因为那是一种我们无法控制的天生的品质。beyond one’s control意为“无法控制,在控制力之外”; be in control of意为“持有对……的控制力”;under control意为“在……的控制之下,得到控制”。
小题1:本题测试同义词辨析。本句译文:然而,领导者必须是一块磁石,一位能把他人吸引到身边的中心人物。draw to/towards意为“吸引”;drag意为“拖拽,(工作、时间)缓慢而协调地进行”;haul意为“用力拖拉”;unite意为“联合”。
小题1:本题测试惯用搭配。考查词组depend on。
小题1:本题测试词义搭配。本句译文:在紧闭的门后施展权威,体现不出领导能力。exercise authority(use authority)意为“行使权威”;recognize意为“认出”;respect意为“尊敬”。
小题1:本题测试结构搭配。where引导一个地点状语从句,其他选项不符合句意。
小题1:本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。本句译文:他必须是一个传奇人物、奇闻轶事(不管是真是假)的中心主题、一个重要角色。subject意为“主题”。
小题1:本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。or表示前后词的意思并列,在这应互为反义词,所以小题1:本题测试惯用搭配。本句译文:最简单的策略之一是在众人期盼的场合下缺席,这足以引起谣言,谈论到底是什么重要的事把领导耽搁住了。on the occasion意为“在……场合下/情况下”。
小题1:本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。译文:当某领导被大家……的时候,他缺席了,这足以引起谣言,揣测他耽搁的原因。所以是领导“该出席没出席”,只能选expect“期待,盼望”。refuse意为“拒绝”,suspect意为“怀疑”,expel意为“驱逐”,三个选项均不合题意。
小题1:本题测试句法分析。后面的定语从句修饰the vital business,而从句中缺少一个主语,因此只能选择which。when和where分别表示时间和地点,作状语不能作主语;what不能引导定语从句。
小题1:本题测试惯用搭配。本句译文:为了补偿这次缺席的影响,他在最意想不到的场合出现,引起另一轮关于他的兴趣的猜测,人们会认为他在其他人认为琐碎的事情上显示出兴趣。make up for意为“补偿;弥补”。
小题1:本题测试惯用搭配。display/show/express interest in sth. 意为“对……显示出兴趣”。
小题1:]本题测试词义搭配。view sth.as(regard sth.as)意为“把……认为/当作……”。其他选项在搭配上均错。注意错误选项B,当变成think of…as时与regard…as同义。
小题1:]本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。相关译文:“此领导具有激发他人好奇心的天赋,但不愿谈论自己。他的兴趣显然在别人身上:他向下属提问,鼓励他们交谈,然后记住所有的相关信息。”inspire意为“激励”。curiosity意为“好奇心”,possess意为“拥有”,decrease意为“减少”,均不符合题意。urge意为“力劝;驱策”,与上文的语气不符。
小题1:本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。由上文“这位领导不愿意谈论自己”分析出此句为“他的兴趣在他人”。只有plainly意为“显然地”为正确答案。scarcely意为“简直不/一定不”;obscurely意为“模糊地,含糊难解地”。
小题1:本题测试结构搭配。在定语从句中,先行词为特殊词时,后面只能用关系代词that引导,不用which,所以that为正确答案。
小题1:]本题测试结构搭配。相关译文:直到他在头脑中已经整理好了在场每个人的微型档案后才会离开人群,确信知道下次再遇到他们时要讲什么。
小题1:本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。前面已提到“他记住所有他人的相关信息”,所以选与之对应的everyone,“头脑中形成在场每个人的微型档案”。
小题1:本题测试结构搭配。D正确,what是兼为先行词的关系代词,等于the thing(s) which。
小题1:本题测试结构搭配。本句译文:他骨子里是一位具有外向性格的人,但是他宁愿多听取他人的想法,而不是自己喋喋不休。“would rather…than…”意为“宁可……也不……”。

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia – One of the world’s most famous fossils (化石) – the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton (骨骼) unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974 – will go on an exhibition tour abroad for the first time in the United States, officials said Tuesday.
Even the Ethiopian public has only seen Lucy twice. The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, Addis Ababa, is a replica while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroom. A team from the Museum of National Science in Houston, Texas, spent four years discussing with the Ethiopians for the U.S. tour, which will start in Houston next September.
“Ethiopia’s rich culture of both the past and today, is one of the best kept secrets in the world,” said Joel Bartsch, director of the Houston museum.
The six-year tour will also go to Washington, New York, Denver and Chicago. Officials said six other U.S. cities may be on the tour. But they said plans had not been worked out.
Travelling with Lucy will be 190 other fossils.
Lucy, her name taken from a Beatles song that played in a camp the night of her discovery, is part of the skeleton of what was once a 3-foot-tall ape-man (猿人).

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) – A fish that lives in mangrove swamps(红树沼泽)across the Americas can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted(适应)to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.
The Magrove Rivulus, a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil. When their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs(圆木),said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard Endangered Lands Program in Florida.  
The fish, whose scientific name is Rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. They group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again. 
The new scientific discovery came after a trip to Belize.  “We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out,” Taylor told Reuters in neighboring Guatgemala by telephone. He said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year. 
In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating. 
Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at time, while lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in an inactive state. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulus and remain active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at Canada’s University of Guelph. 
Further studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time. 
“These animals live in conditions similar to those that existed millions of years ago, when animals began making the transition(过渡)from water onto land,” Wright said.  
小题1:The Mangrove Rivulus is a type of fish that _______. 
A.likes eating nuts
B.prefers living in dry places
C.is the longest living fish on earth
D.can stay alive for two months out of water
小题2:Who will write up a report on Mangrove Rivulus?
A.Patricia WrightB.Researchers in Guatemala
C.Scientists from BelizeD.Scott Taylor
小题3:According to the text, lungfish can________
A.breathe through its skin
B.move freely on dry land
C.remain alive out of water
D.be as active on land as in water
小题4:What can we say about the discovery of Mangrove Rivulus?
A.It was made quite by accident
B.It was based on a lab test of sea life
C.It was supported by an American magazine
D.It was helped by Patricia Wright

PLAYA GRANDE, COSTA RICA----This resort town was long known for Leatherback Sea Turtle(棱皮龟)National Park, nightly turtle beach tours and even a sea turtle museum. However, on a beach where dozens of turtles used to nest on a given night, scientists spied only 32 leatherbacks all of last year.
With leatherbacks threatened with extinction, Playa Grande’s turtle museum was abandoned (抛弃)three years ago and now sits among a sea of weeds. And the beachside ticket office for turtle tours was washed away by a high tide in September. “We do not promote that as a turtle tourism destination any more because we realize there are far too few turtles to please,” said Alvaro Fonseca, a park ranger.(管理员)
Even before scientists found temperatures going up over the past decade, sea turtles were threatened by beach development, drift net fishing and Costa Ricans’ interest in eating turtle eggs. But climate change may cause the most serious harm to an animal that has lived in the Pacific for 150 million years.
Sea turtles are sensitive to numerous effects of warming. They feed on reefs, which are dying in hotter seas. They lay eggs on beaches that are being covered by rising seas and more violent waves.
More uniquely(独特地), their gender is determined not by genes but by the egg’s temperature during development. Small rises in beach temperatures can result in all-female populations, obviously problematic for survival. If the sand around the eggs hits 30 degrees Celsius, the gender balance shifts to female; at about 32 degrees they are all female. Above 34, you get boiled eggs.
On some nesting beaches, scientists are artificially cooling nests with shade or irrigation and trying to protect broader areas of coastal property from development to ensure that turtles have a place to nest as the seas rise.
小题1:Why does the resort town stop promoting its turtle tourism?
A.It decides not to disturb the turtles’ normal life.
B.Tourists have lost interest in watching turtles.
C.There are only very few turtles now.D.The turtle museum was destroyed by a high tide.
小题2: Which of the following is the major factor in the turtles’ endangerment?
A.The locals’ eating habit.B.Drift net fishing.C.Beach development.D.Global warming.
小题3: The underlined word “gender” in Paragraph 5 means ____.
A.the sex of turtlesB.the habit of turtlesC.the weight of turtlesD.the kind of turtles
小题4: We learn from the last paragraph that scientists ____.
A.are doing research on the sea riseB.are moving turtles to new homes
C.are protecting turtles’ nestsD.are going rid of sea weeds
小题5: The passage intends to ____.
A.introduce a special kind of sea turtleB.explain the mystery of turtles’ eggs
C.show the dangers a certain kind of sea turtle is facing
D.attract more visitors to a sea turtle museum

You may picture firefighters holding a hose (水管) outside of a burning building,but the Golden Eagles Hotshots don't fight fires quite that way.When they go into action,you may not even see a fire truck.
The Hotshots are firefighters who battle fires in wilderness areas.But don't think you'll only find them in California.Wherever there is a national wildfire emergency,the Golden Eagles Hotshots could be there.
But these firefighters don't work the same way as those in big cities.They work where there are large numbers of trees,bushes,and grass.They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris (残骸).They sometimes use water,but often fight fire with fire!
They do that by lighting what are called “backfires” ---- small,controlled fires that burn up fuel in the path of larger wildfires.That way, when the wildfire gets there, it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go,because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke.
The Hotshots also clear away fuel using old-fashioned hard work.For example,they use a saw to cut away trees and heavy brush that could catch fire.
Of course there are times when the Golden Eagles Hotshots do have trucks to supply water to the fires.But the water is limited,and these guys have to rely on hard work more than anything.Physical fitness is very important.They have to be strong to handle steep hills while carrying a 60­pound pack.
Thanks to their efforts,many lives have been saved,many houses not burned,and countless trees still standing.
小题1:According to the passage,why do the firefighters light “backfires”?
A.To signal for help.B.To remove obstacles.
C.To protect trees and bushes.D.To prevent the fire from spreading.
小题2:What can we learn about the Golden Eagles Hotshots?
A.They are firefighters working in big cities.
B.Their work requires physical strength.
C.They are working for free.
D.They usually hold a hose to put out the fires.
小题3:All of the following can reflect that the Golden Eagles Hotshots are special  EXCEPT their working     
A.areasB.waysC.achievementsD.tools
小题4:What is the author's attitude towards the Golden Eagles Hotshots?
A.Appreciative.B.Doubtful.C.Worried.D.Critical.

A small town in southwest Britain is banning (禁止) plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste-a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.
Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.
Last month, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.
Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag ammesty (宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recycling.
The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response in the town so far had been “really positive”.
“Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker(柳条) baskets to go out shopping anyway, ”Hosking told Sky News Television.
The World Watch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.
小题1:The underlined word “disposable” in the passage probably means        .
A.acceptableB.valuableC.environmentally-friendlyD.long-lasting
小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that         .
A.most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bags
B.fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world
C.San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the world
D.most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags
小题3:Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A.Environmental Protection B.Big Cities Banning Plastic Bags
C.British Town Banning Plastic BagsD.Effect of Plastic bags on Sea Animals

MONTREAL (Reuters) – Crossing the US-Canada border to go to church on a Sunday cost an American $10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security rules.
The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives on the Canadian border. Albert often crosses the border like the other half-dozen people of Township 15. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church. There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US, which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.
As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada as usual. The US customs station in this area is closed on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.
Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 Americans in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.
Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said.
小题1:We learn from the text that Richard Albert is      .
A.an American working in a Canadian church
B.a Canadian living in a Quebec village
C.a Canadian working in a customs station
D.an American living in Township 15
小题2:Albert was fined because he      .
A.broke the American security rules
B.failed to obey traffic rules
C.worked in St. Pamphile without a pass
D.damaged the gate of the customs office
小题3:According to paragraph 4, how can Americans in that area get home?
A.They have to drive through the town.
B.They have to race across the fields.
C.They have to drive to the mountain area.
D.They have to drive in a roundabout (绕道的) way.
小题4:What would be the best title for the text?
A.A Cross-country Trip.B.An Expensive Church Visit.
C.An Unguarded Border.D.A Special Border Pass.
