A
Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route——through the boot(行李箱).
Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent, after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said, “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”
Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”
It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”
His hands and arms cut and bruised，Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Trembling in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.
21. In which section of a newspaper can we read this article?
A. Book review B. News report C. Campus life D. Continued story
22.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 “Finally it gave” means that ______.
A. luckily the door was torn away in the end B. at last the wrench went broken
C. the lock came open after all his efforts D. the chance was lost at the last minute
23.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. the ditch was along a quiet country road
B. the accident happened on a clear warm day
C. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditch
D. Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attended
B
For more than twenty years scientists have been seeking to understand the mystery of the “sixth sense” of direction. By trying out ideas and solving problems one by one, they are now getting closer to one answer. One funny idea is that animals might have a built-in compass.
Our earth itself is a big magnet(磁体). So a little magnetic needle that swings freely lines itself with the big earth magnet to point north and south. When people discovered that idea about a thousand years ago and invented the compass, it allowed sailors to navigate on ocean voyages, even under cloudy skies.
Actually the idea of the living compass came just from observing animals in nature. Many birds migrate twice a year between their summer homes and winter homes. Some of them fly for thousands of kilometers and mostly at night. Experiments have shown that some birds can recognize star patterns. But they can keep on course even under cloudy skies. How can they do that?
A common bird that does not migrate but is great at finding its way home is the homing pigeon. Not all pigeons can find their way home. Those that can are very good at it，and they have been widely studied.
One interesting experiment was to attach little magnets to the birds’ heads to block their magnetic sense——just as a loud radio can keep you from hearing a call to dinner. On sunny days, that did not fool the pigeons. Evidently they can use the sun to tell which way they are going. But on cloudy days, the pigeons with magnets could not find their way. It was as if the magnets had blocked their magnetic sense.
Similar experiments with the same kind of results were done with honeybees. These insects also seem to have a special sense of direction.
24. What is the best title for this passage?
A. A great invention——Compass B. “Six sense” of direction
C. Methods of finding directions D. A built-in compass in animals
25. What contributes to the pigeon’s good sense of direction according to the passage?
A. The invention of the compass. B. The existence of their living compass.
C. The recognition of star patterns. D. The disturbance of cloudy weather.
26. Further experiments might be conducted on_______.
A. sparrows B. seagulls C. dolphins D. strawberry

A hospital has been forced to ban Pokemon Go players from the site after a monster hub(妖怪枢纽站) was found in the A&E department. Royal Stoke University Hospital discovered that its casualty unit(急诊室) is on the same spot as a Pokemon Go ‘gym’ —— where players can train their newly caught Nintendo creatures.
The University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust agreed last week that patients can play Pokemon Go on wards because walking around is healthy. But the Trust has been forced to post a warning on its website about public access to A&E. It said if Pokemon Go becomes a major annoyance it would ask Nintendo—— which decides on the locations of the virtual gyms according using GPS——to have it removed from the premises(道馆).
Kevin Parker, associate chief nurse, said, “Members of the public who do not need to be at Royal Stoke should not attempt to enter A&E or any other part of the hospital building to play the game. The A&E department is incredibly busy this summer. We want the public to understand that anybody who visits the hospital solely to play the game will provide an unwanted distraction to the important work of the hospital. I’m also aware of various reports in the media of unsafe areas that the game has been played in.”
“Royal Stoke University Hospital is a safe area where gamers can enjoy Pokemon Go.” Michelle Harris, the Trust’s manager, said the game could still be played by those already in hospital. “We recognize that the Pokemon Go game encourages walking and exercise, which is something that the Trust is equally keen to promote,” she said.
There are a number of “walking routes” established throughout the Trust that can be used to combine walking and playing the game. “Walking just 30 minutes, five times a week, can help reduce the risk of preventable illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.”
There have been several warnings about the game since its UK release. Last week a group of teenagers in Wiltshire were left stranded almost 100ft underground after they got carried away searching for Pokemon Go characters. The four boys, aged 16 and 17, ended up getting lost and had to wait to get a phone signal before they could call for help. Eventually, they contacted Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue team, who took them to safety. Damien Bence, of the fire and rescue team, said: “Pokemon Go is obviously leading people into dangerous situations.”
27. It seems that Pokemon Go is a game______.
A. designed to help patients in hospital recover sooner
B. helping cure such diseases as obesity, diabetes and heart disease
C. encouraging players to walk and exercise instead of staying indoors
D. warning teenagers of the places easy to get lost or attacked
28. The A&E department is incredibly busy because________.
A. more patients’ arrival increases the workload of the A&E department
B. doctors’ playing the game makes the A&E department less efficient
C. players’ injury increases the workload of the A&E department
D. players’ arrival disturbs the work of the A&E department
29. The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means_______.
A. hurt B. disturbed C. trapped D. threatened
30. The passage is mainly about________.
A. the negative effects of Pokemon Go since its UK release
B. the applications of Pokemon Go in hospitals since its UK release
C. the popularity of Pokemon Go since its UK release
D. the establishment of Pokemon Go virtual gyms since its UK release

Any exercise is good exercise, but when it comes to losing weight, it’s hard to beat running. After all, running is one of the most efficient ways to burn calories and get fit without having to restrict your diet. 31 If you’re not a runner yet but interested in losing weight, here are four reasons running can be the best exercise for weight loss.
32 When comparing running with walking the same distance, studies find that running will lead to greater weight loss, most likely because your resting energy expenditure stays elevated(高的) after you run. In a long-term comparison study of runners and walkers, calories burned through running led to 90% more weight loss than calories burned through walking.
Running is time-efficient. Even if the myth that running a mile and walking a mile burn the same number of calories were true, running is a considerably faster way to burn those calories. 33
Running is convenient. Though many of us have accumulated a vast arsenal(武器，装备) of GPS gadgets and tech tees over the years, little is actually required to go running. You can do it alone. You can do it almost anywhere. 34 For this reason alone, running is the best workout for weight loss because it’s cheap and accessible, and there are fewer barriers to maintaining a routine, even while traveling.
Two words: runner’s high. 35 Fortunately, studies support what many runners have experienced on an anecdotal level—running can actually get you high. Scientists have found links between moderate to intense exercise and morphine-like brain chemicals, which explains the occasional flood of thrill that rushes over you during a hard run. That happy sensation you had after your last race makes you want to go for another run, right?
A. Cultivate the good habit of running.
B. Running works even when you’re at rest.
C. You will never stick to a habit if you don’t like it.
D. The first rule of exercising for weight loss is that if you don’t enjoy it, you won’t stick with it.
E. You don’t need any equipment beyond a pair of running shoes.
F. If you’re already a runner, keep on.
G. Most people can run two or three times as far as they can walk in a given amount of time.

Ever since I moved to Beijing in August, people have been telling me about the Fragrant Hills—— 36 the autumn views they offer.
So last Sunday I 37 two poor, simple laowai. We looked forward with childish 38 to golden leaves and the spiced smell of the pines in the crisp October air. After an hour-long subway and taxi 39 , we found ourselves on a vast ring road interchange, 40 with traffic and people coming from all directions. It seemed that all China had decided to come to the Fragrant Hills that day.
The words “Fragrant Hills” 41 a picture of natural beauty and harmony——not rows of shops and 42 vendors screaming at you to buy their goods.
After half an hour of 43 through the sea of bodies, we made 44 into the park. All pretences of polite “Britishness” were washed away as we 45 moved people aside with two hands——the only way of making progress. A couple of times, we attempted a bit of wandering 46 the path, only to be stung by poison ivy. We sadly returned to the 47 . Then suddenly, just past a temple, we spotted a dirt track. The people 48 . We were the only ones there. There were our golden 49 and our peaceful pine forests. 50 , we collapse
