Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which has become one of London’s main tourist attractions. Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames and immediately went to hospital. He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process doctors say could be life threatening. He had been drinking only water since September 5. A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends. Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attentionIn 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on top of a 25-meter pillar (柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes. “I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they’re able to do what they can do,” he said. “They don’t realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.” But he seems to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that at times he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste. 36. It is _ __ for David Blaine to eat food after such a long starvation. A. pleasant B. delicious C. dangerous D. important 37. Having spent such a long time in the glass box, he suffered the following EXCEPT that _ __. A. he had become blind B. he had serious back pains C. he lost his sense of taste D. he was in weak health 38. Which of the following can best describe David Blaine? A. Serious B. Adventurous C. Smart D. Crazy 39. Which of the following is NOT true of David Blaine? A. Blaine immediately went to hospital after he was taken out of his box. B. Blaine was born and brought up in England. C. In Blaine’s opinion, people can work a wonder. D. Blaine didn’t have any food for 44 days. B Only a small number of office workers have been trained in basic life-saving techniques. Just 33,526 of London’s estimated 3.5 million workers signed up with St John’s Ambulance and the British Red Cross to learn simple first aid last year. The figures coming from a new report show that nine out of 10 people would not know what to do if a colleague was badly hurt, while 72 percent have never attended a first-aid course. Doctors describe the situation as appalling and have called for urgent training in schools and the workplace. Training in first aid should start at an early age and should be taught to everybody at school. First aid is very important because at best it can save lives and at worst it reduces pressure on hospital rooms. Employers get anxious when a worker has had some sort of accident in the office or factory and rush them to the hospital — even if all they require is a bandage . Last year 20,000 Londoners were trained in first aid by St John’s Ambulance, the leading provider in life-saving courses, and 13,526 were trained by the Red Cross. According to St John’s Ambulance, four out of five parents do not know how to carry out mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (苏醒). Nick Suggitt, training manager with St John Ambulance, said, “We are training just a tiny part of the number necessary, and only touching the tip of the iceberg. ” “Not enough people know how to save a life, and since many emergencies occur at home or at work, these skills are often needed to save the life of a friend or a family member.” 40.The underlined word “appalling” in the passage probably means ______. A. surprising B. terrible C. rising D. challenging 41. From the passage, we know that the problem lies in the fact that ______. A. many people won’t provide first aid properly B. many people are unwilling to take the training C. most people know nothing or very little about first aid D. 90 percent of people never attend first-aid courses 42. It can be inferred from the passage that _____. A. about 33,526 workers don’t know anything about first aid B. many people are rushed to the hospital with only slight injuries C. mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is quite important for parents at home D. a number of people are trained 43. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. First-aid Is Very Important B. First-aid Training Is Urgently Needed C. Training in First Aid Is Valuable D. Not Enough People Know How to Save a Life C After Jon Corzine suffered serious injuries in a car accident on April 12, many of the reports focused on his failure to wear a seat belt. It’s reported that seatbelt use has gone up by 10 percent since 2000, hitting a record 81 percent nationwide in 2006. And the agency reports that safety belts saved about 15,434 lives in 2004. But for some groups, particularly teens and young adults, usage still lags. Sixty-two percent of the 5,135 young people ages 16 to 20 killed when riding in passenger vehicles(交通工具) in 2004 were not wearing safety belts. So if you’re the parent of a teen, remind them to fasten up every time they get into a car. Yes, even it’s just for a short ride and even if they’re in the back seat. And for kids under 13, be sure to follow these safety guidelines (准则). ● Children from birth until age 1 or under 20 pounds should ride in the back seat in a rear-facing（向后） child safety seat. ● Children over 1 year old and weighing more than 20 pounds can ride in a forward-facing child safety seat in the back seat. ● All children who have outgrown child safety seats should be properly put in booster seats (幼儿加高座位) until they are at least 8 years old or 4 feet, 9 inches tall. ● Once children outgrow their booster seats, they can use an adult seat belt in the back seat as long as it fits properly. ● New rules require manufacturers(制造商 )to start using “smart” air bags for all 2007 cars. The new air bags are constructed so that they don’t injure smaller passengers in the front seat. 44. In 2000 about ________ percent people use seat belts nationwide. A. 10 B. 71 C. 81 D. 91 45. The underlined word “lags” in Paragraph 1 means ___. A. develops slowly B. moves very quickly C. holds still D. slows down 46. According to the safety guidelines, we can learn that ________. A. children can never use an adult seat belt in the back seat B. when the children are in the back seat of the car, they needn’t wear a seat belt C. a 2-year-old child can ride in a forward-facing child safety seat in the back seat D. the smaller passengers in the cars with new air bags won’t have danger 47. What can we infer from the passage? A. Jon Corzine was putting the seat belt on when the accident happened. B. You don’t have to wear a seat belt when you are just going for a short ride. C. 62% of the young people were killed when riding in passenger vehicles in 2004. D. Teens and young adults should always remember to wear seat belts. D It’s 2035. You have a job, a family and you’re about 40 years old. Welcome to your future life. Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror, “Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronic are rearranged（重新设置） in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe that you are 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You’re not even middle-aged. As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your cereal（谷类 ）breakfast into a bowl, you hear: “To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that,” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appear on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies. “Ready for your trip to space. You ask your son and daughter.” In 2005 only specially trained astronauts went into space.— and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacation. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advices, vaccination shots（疫苗注射） are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door. It’s time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office. Autopilot（自动驾驶）.” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video films rather than read it. 48.. What changes the color of your shirt? A. The mirror. B. The shirt itself. C. The counter. D.The medicine. 49.. How do the shoes know that you shouldn’t eat the breakfast cereal? A. By pouring the breakfast into a bowl. B. By listening to the doctor’s advice. C. By testing the food supplies in the kitchen. D. By checking the nutrition details of the food. 50.. The strawberries the children eat serve as ______. A. breakfast B. lunch
