I had looked forward to this day for a long time.Finally I, Kirsty Sturart, would stand on the top of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe.Although I climbed often in my native Scotland, this was my first trip to the Alps.My companions—Jean Pierre Barton, Maurice Gautier, and Mary Sargent—and I left our camp early and planned to reach the top by late morning.

As we neared the top, large clouds gathered and it began to snow.We found shelter and decided to wait for the snow to stop.After three hours, however, we decided to go back and try again the next day.We started down the mountain in the thick snow.Jean-Pierre forgot his sunglasses and went back to look for them.As he was returning to us, he started to fall.

His fall started an avalanche(雪崩) and it was falling towards us! I was swept away by the heavy snow. Jean-Pierre hurried down to me.“Are you OK?” he asked.

“I think I broke my leg,” I answered.

“I’d better radio for help!” he said.“Where are the others?” We couldn’t see Maurice or Mary anywhere.

Jean-Pierre called the emergency radio number, and the police said they would send help right away.It seemed like hours, but only minutes later we heard the welcome sound of a helicopter. The helicopter couldn’t land on the mountainside, so they lowered two men, two dogs, and a stretcher(擔(dān)架).One man ran to me, but I told him to search for the others.The dogs were trained for avalanche rescue and soon began to dig crazily in the snow.

Bernardo, the lead dog, found Mary’s scarf and led the rescuers to her.Maurice was nearby.The men gave us hot drinks and warm blankets and then prepared to lift us into the helicopter.Two men inside the helicopter pulled us up with the ropes.I went first on the stretcher.

Once we were safely inside, the helicopter flew to the hospital in Chamonix.Our poor rescuers and their dogs had to climb all the way back down the mountain.Later we would find these brave men and thank them for saving our lives.

1.What prevented the climbers from reaching the top?

    A.The terrible weather.

    B.The loss of the sunglasses.

    C.The injury of the team members.

    D.The unexpected height of the mountain.

2.How did the writer break his leg?

    A.The road was covered with snow.

    B.His companion knocked into him.

    C.The heavy clouds blocked his view.

    D.The avalanche caused a fall for him.

3.How did the writer feel while waiting for help?

    A.Anxious.        B.Crazy.          C.Sorry.          D.Annoyed.

4.What do we learn from the passage?

    A.Mary was the leader of the team.

    B.The team was upset about their failure.

    C.It was several hours before the rescue team arrived .

    D.The writer was excited thinking of climbing Mount Blanc.

Dear editor,
I am writing to ask what has happened to our young people.They are not as polite or hard-working as my generation(一代人I will give you two examples.
Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a.m. It was very crowded so there was no free seat.There were some boys sitting on the seats near me.I didn't know why they were not at school.They were talking and laughing loudly. It was difficult for me to read my newspaper with all the noise.At the next stop, a pregnant(懷孕的)woman and her daughter got on with lots of shopping bags.I expected the boys to let them sit down.They saw the woman but they did nothing.I had to ask them to give the woman and her daughter seats.   They did so but gave me a rude look.

I worry about the future of Germany.How could these young people become good workers and parents?

It was 2:10 in the afternoon when I entered the classroom. I was surprising to see our teacher operating the video camera. Most of us have never been in front of a video camera before, but we were very nervous. As for myself, I had once faced it at home. My uncle shot as we were celebrating for my sister’s birthday. However, this was complete different. We had to talk about our articles as if we were reading news on TV. The funny thing was every time I tried to face the cameras and talked about my article, I forgot the article and couldn’t help look down at it. It was quite a different experience for me, thanks to our teacher.

閱讀下面短文并用英語回答問題,(請注意各小題后面的詞數(shù)要求)。

[1]I don't know about you, but I look a lot older than I really am. Now I know I could solve much of that by coloring my hair with some product like "Just for Men", but I refuse to go there just yet. But it really gets upsetting sometimes. For example, at my brother's wedding four years ago, the photographer thought I was his father. Really, I'm not kidding.

[2]And just a few weeks ago, I was a riding in a car with another one of my brothers when he stopped to pick up his paycheck. Anyway, his boss saw me in the car and asked him if _________________. Now, he only saw me from a distance, but it still hurt. Again, I'm not making this up.

[3]So I've decided to fight this battle in my own way. Since I obviously look old, I'm going to act young to compensate(彌補(bǔ)) for it. So what I am doing to act young? Well, it all has to with the way I move around.

[4]First, I try to walk faster than everyone else. That one is not a big deal for me, as I've always had a tendency to walk fast. It's a family trait(特性).

[5]Second, I try to use quick movements. That means getting up from a sitting position quickly, sitting down quickly, lying down quickly, getting up from a lying position quickly, changing directions quickly, turning quickly, etc. Now this one presents a little more of a challenge to me. I have to be careful not to hurt or damage a sensitive body part.

[6]Of course, if all of that doesn’t work, there’s always the “Just for Men.”

1.What is the problem with the writer ? (no more than 10 words)

                                                                       

2.Fill in the blank in Paragraph2 with proper words. (no more than 5 words)

                                                                           

3.What does the underlined word “it” (Line, Paragraph3) probably refer to ?    (no more than 3 words)

                                                                          

4.How does the writer try to act young ? (no more than 8 words)

                                                                           

5.Why is the writer careful when moving quickly? (no more than 10 words.)

“Good morning!” said a woman as she walked up to an old man sitting on the ground. The man slowly looked up. He was Jack, who had been begging around here for a couple of years.

“See that cafeteria(自助餐廳)over there?” she asked. “I’m going to get you something to eat and get you out of the cold for a while.”

She sat down at the table across from her amazed dinner guest. She stared at him intently. “Jack, do you remember me?” Old Jack thought hard and said, “I think so--I mean you do look familiar.”

“I was thin and hungry,” she said. “Maybe I’ve filled out now more than when you worked here. That was when I was just out of college. I had come to the city looking for a job, but I couldn’t find anything. Finally I was down to my last few cents and had been kicked out of my apartment. I walked in the streets for days, cold and hungry. I saw this place and walked in hoping that I could satisfy my hunger.”

Jack lit up with a smile. “Now I remember,” he said. “I was behind the serving counter. You came up and asked me if you could work for something to eat. I said it was against company’s policy.”

The woman continued, “Then you made me the biggest roast beef sandwich, gave me a cup of coffee, and told me to go over to a corner table and enjoy it. I was afraid that you would get into trouble. Then, I saw you put the price of my food in the cash register.”

“So you started your own business?” old Jack said. “I got a job that very afternoon. I worked my way up. Eventually I started my own business that, with the help of God, prospered.” She opened her purse and pulled out a business card. “When you are finished here, I want you to pay a visit to a Mr. Lyons, the personnel director of my company. He’ll find something for you to do around the office.” She smiled, “If you ever need anything, my door is always open to you.”

There were tears in the old man’s eyes, “How can I ever thank you?” he said. “Don’t thank me;” the woman answered, “thank yourself. It was your kindness that let me know you.”

1.Why did the woman invite the beggar to dinner?

A.The beggar was once her friend.

B.She felt very pity for the beggar.

C.The beggar once offered her a free meal.

D.She once worked with the beggar.

2.What does the underlined phrase “fill out” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.wear a beautiful dress.                   B.change one’s features.

C.have a very high position.                 D.become larger or fatter.

3.Years ago the woman walked into the place she caught sight of to __________.

A.find a job there                         B.get herself out of cold

C.get something to eat                     D.meet with the man

4.What conclusion can you draw from this passage?

A.Kindness is an investment that never fails.

B.Nothing is difficult for the man who will try.

C.Don’t judge a person from his/her appearance.

D.God helps those who help themselves.
