On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12-year-old boys,Christian and Jack,rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters,a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head,” Tim recalls (回憶).“I was
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point,I considered turning back,” he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.”After 30 minutes of struggling,he was close enough to yell to the boys,“Take down the umbrella!”
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing,but the waves were almost too strong for him.
“Let's aim for the pier(碼頭),” Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat,and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim?” he cried.“A little bit,”the boys said.
Once they were in the water,Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.
“Are we almost there?”they asked again and again.“Yes,” Tim told them each time.

LONDON?A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake(假冒的) bomb detectors (探測器) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn't cared about potentially deadly consequences.
It is believed that James McCormick got about $77. 8 million from the sales of his detectors?which were based on a kind of golf ball finder?to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.
McCormick, 57, was convicted(判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.
“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people,” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick.“You have neither regret,nor shame,nor any sense of guilt.”
The detectors,sold for up to $42,000 each,were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under
McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya,the prison service in Hong Kong,the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.
“I never had any bad results from customers,”he said.

42.C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.”及最后一段可知,麥考密克曾在法庭上說,他出售自己的探測器給肯尼亞警察、香港監(jiān)獄、埃及的軍隊和泰國的邊境管制處,而且他從來沒有從客戶那里聽到任何不好的結(jié)果。故可以推斷出他根本沒認(rèn)識到他的罪行。故選C。

Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(懷舊).It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain,love,and some other experiences:We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.
If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty,but it's where my earliest memories are.
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween?when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me.I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house,my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime?waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.
I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(住宅)on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew, and I learned.
Sometimes when I feel lost,I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my

Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head,according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.
Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收縮)and pumping blood around their bodies,compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed.Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event,depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.
Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said:“Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”
The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces.Dr Garfinkel said,“The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed.Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don't see?and guide whether we see fear.”
To further understand this relationship,the scientists also used a brain scanner(掃描儀)to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of fear.
“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” Dr Garfinkel said.
“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders,and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”
47.What is the finding of the study?
A. One's heart affects how he feels fear.
B. Fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat.
C. Fear has something to do with one's health.
D. One's fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.
48.The study was carried out by analyzing
A. volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures
B. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions
C. volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scans
D. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart-brain communication
49.Which of the following is closest in meaning to “mechanism” in Paragraph 6?
A. Order.
C. Machine.
50.This study may contribute to
A. treating anxiety and stress better
B. explaining the cycle of fear and anxiety
C. finding the key to the heart-brain communication
D. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads

A nurse of 78 this weekend celebrates 60 years of walking the wards?and she has no plans to retire.
Jackie Reid was 18 when she started work in 1953?when the National Health Service (NHS) was just five years old?and is believed to be the oldest nurse in Britain.
The diabetes(糖尿病) specialist had to retire at 65 but returned as a nurse within two weeks and still does up to four seven-and-a-half hour shifts(輪班)each week.
Mrs Reid said:“Nursing is hard if you do it correctly but I love my job. Working for the NHS has been my life. I have no other hobbies because I have worked all my life.”
Jackie has worked at a number of different hospitals?including one in Scotland.
Her specialist field has been diabetes for the past 40 years. She retrained after her 12-year-old daughter Michelle developed the disease. She currently works at Southend Hospital, Essex.
Over the last 60 years she has treated tens of thousands of patients.
Jackie believes nursing should be protected from government cuts. She said:“There're lots of things I would say to the government. If you are going to get good care you have to have the resources(資源), you can't do it without enough money. They shouldn't need the cuts that there are in the NHS. It's hard now
Jackie has lived alone in Grays, Essex, since her husband died three years ago.
The couple have two daughters, Michelle, 50, and Karen, 54.
Jackie added:“My youngest daughter worries about me?she doesn't think I should work as much as I do. I constantly say ‘don't worry about me, I'm fine’, but she never believes me. I don't like the thought of giving it up and will try to keep going forever.”

56.In 1948. 考查細(xì)節(jié)捕捉及計算能力。根據(jù)文中“Jackie Reid was 18 when she started work in 1953?when the National Health Service(NHS)was just five years old?and is believed to be the oldest nurse in Britain.”可知,在1953年Jackie Reid 18歲時,她開始工作,當(dāng)時國民健康服務(wù)(NHS)只有5歲。1953-5=1948。
59.Not to make cuts in nursing. 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解能力。根據(jù)文中“Jackie believes nursing should be protected from government cuts.‘…They shouldn't need the cuts that there are in the NHS…’”可知,Jackie認(rèn)為政府不應(yīng)該削減護(hù)理方面的投入。

61.difficulty?difficult 考查形容詞的用法。根據(jù)文意“我發(fā)現(xiàn)考試很難”可知需用形容詞作補(bǔ)語。
62.hardly?hard 考查副詞的用法。根據(jù)文意,“我”努力去完成它。hard本身就是副詞,意為“努力地”。hardly幾乎不。
63.a(chǎn)sking?asked 考查謂語的用法。主語部分是Mary,需要用謂語asked。
64.去掉to 考查不定式符號的省略。使役動詞let后的不定式的to必須省略。
65.think?thinking 考查動名詞的用法。介詞after后應(yīng)跟動名詞。
66.a(chǎn)ll?both 考查代詞的用法。只有兩個人,故需用both。
67.same前加the 考查冠詞的用法。same前必須加the。
68.tests?test 考查名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)。had a chemistry test,只有一場考試,故用單數(shù)。
69.so?or 考查連詞的用法。句意:她警告我們不要再作弊,否則她要告知我們的父母。故用or。
70.does?did 考查時態(tài)的用法。整個故事發(fā)生在過去,故用過去時。

It's useful and necessary to discuss learning habits.As we all know, good learning habits can make your study go to succeed.As a student, we should pay more attention to our habits which we develop in our study.
I'm sure “repeat” is a best habit.Do you develop the habit? If we want to improve our study, we should repeat what the teachers have taught us again and again, and then we can understand or remember the knowledge which the teachers demand us to master.How to develop the habit?Set a timetable, and stick to carry out the plan; don't stop.
When I do my homework, I often make mistakes with carelessness. How to overcome the shortage? I think I should think about it over and over as long as I do my homework.And then I do it little by little.Maybe I can correct my mistakes in this way.
