1.C 名词辨析。根据句意及常识可以推测人们是用烟熏,强迫老鼠从洞里逃跑。所以答案选C。

3.D 名词辨析。at the exit of the hole“在洞的出口”。选择D。
4.A 名词辨析。句子后面是说老鼠终于挤出来了,说明前面一直在努力向外跑。A努力,尝试;B发现;C操作;D鼓励,所以答案选A。

D
We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles of your neck, or because an unexpected twist has made your neck ache and stiff. Your whole body feels tight. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.
That is why we use phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.
One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time—during a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.
Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to ;et them pass. You are proud of your self—control after they have settled into their seats…Well, what now…Good God, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the men’s room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is “a pain in the neck.”
Another, well—known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn; he is chewing loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they go—for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.
Then, there is the main sitting next to you at a lunch counter smoking a smelly cigar. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across you food into your mouth.
We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway car and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he leans over and stretches his rock so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.
We also call such a person a “rubber neck,” always stretching his neck to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. They enjoy invading your privacy. People have a strong dislike for rubbernecks. They hate being spied upon.
68.Where can you find this passage?
A.Medicine dictionaries. B.Social science books,
C.Kids’ comic books. D.Science text books.
69.How do you feel when late comers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema?
A.Ignored. B.Bored. C.Disturbed D.Relaxed.
70.A “rubber neck” often .
A.says bad words behind people.
B.quarrels face to face with neighbors.
C.bargains the price with sales women
D.asks about other people’s business
71.Which of the follow is a “pain on the neck”?
A.Someone who helps you find your seat in a movie theatre.
B.Someone who smokes in a smoking section on a train.
C.Someone who throws trash out of his car window on the highway.
D.Someone who goes to the doctor for his severe pain on the neck.

My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult.
For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess(承认)to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred(神圣的) thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog that my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder.
Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.
1. What is the main subject of the passage?
A.The relationship between Mark and Steve.
B.The important lesson Mark learned in school
C.Steve’s important role in mark’s growing process.
D.Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that when Mark confessed to Mrs. Holt, __________.
A.he felt surprised B.he was light-hearted
C.he felt frightened D.he knelt before her
3.In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother?
A.Respect for personal property.
B.Respect for life.
C.Sympathy for people with problems.
D.The value of honesty.
4. According to the writer, which was the most important lesson Steve taught his young brother?
A.Respect for living things.
B.Responsibility for one’s actions.
C.The value of the honesty.
D.Care for the property of others.
5.Which of the follow is true according to the passage?
A.Mark was still a boy when he wrote this passage.
B.Mark lost the small dog his father carved somewhere.
C.When a living thing hurts you, you should kill it.
D.Even if a living thing hurts you, you should not kill it without hesitation.

While you may be doing everything right, ignoring just one or two steps in the process may keep you from getting a job, especially in this fierce market. Here is a checklist that covers some of the major links in the job-search chain.
THE RESUME --- Make sure it is up-to-date and tailored to the types of jobs you are seeking for. Have someone else look at your resume. If you cannot afford a career coach, give your resume to friends or family members to scrutinize. Have copies of your resume printed so that you are ready to hand them out at interviews.
COVERING LETTERS---Maybe you’ ve set up a few basic styles in advance, but that’s not enough. Each covering letter should be designed to suit the job for which you are applying.
THE WARDROBE(衣橱)---Check your wardrobe to ensure that you have the appropriate professional dress, including shoes, ready for interview.
NETWORKING---Don’t isolate yourself from others for days. Network through e-mail messages, phone calls, appointments and meetings keep you in touch with the outside world and prevent you from becoming depressed.
APPLICATION---A glance at huge online job sites isn’t usually the best way to find a job. You are more likely to succeed through the people you know via networking.
THE FOLLOW—UP---It is quite common to apply for job and never hear back from the company. Take measures, such as following up with a phone call a week or so after you apply. If you know someone at the company, check whether that person will put in a good word for you.
INTERVIEWS----If you’ ve got plenty of interviews but no return calls or job offers, take a look at your interviewing skills. This is one area where investing in a career coach may pay off. But if you can’t afford one, try to find a job group or service that conducts free mock(模拟) interviews.
SUPPORT SYSTEMS---Finally, recognize that looking for job is rather difficult. Even at the best of times, a job hunt is often about rejection, and that can be hard to endure. Staying in touch with family, friends, professional networks and fellow job seekers can help you to maintain a positive attitude and a sense of perspective.
It is implied in the text that__________.
A.people often pay no attention to writing their resume
B.the interview is the most difficult step for interviewees
C.a career coach often offers free mock interviews to interviewees
D.your social network may help you a lot in your job hunt

To extinguish (熄灭) different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been invented. They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. Most portable (手提式的) kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers.
Since fuel, oxygen (氧气) and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.
Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used do cover a small fire.
A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel.
The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. Fires have been grouped in three classes. Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires. These materials usually help keep the fire on. Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water.
1.If a fire breaks out on a bus, which of the follow should be ready there for you to use?
A. Sand B. Water
C. A blanket. D. An extinguisher.
2.To cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of .
A. separating the fire B. reducing the heat
C. removing the fuel D. cutting off the oxygen
3.In choosing how to put out a fire, we should first be clear about .
A. when it breaks out B. how it comes about
C. what kind it is D. where it takes place
4.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Another class of fires B. Another type of extinguishers
C. How fires break out. D. How fires can be prevented.
