Suddenly another thought went through Kate’s mind like an electric shock. An express train was due to go past about thirty minutes later. If it were not stopped, that long train, full of passengers, would fall into the stream. “Someone must go to the station and warn the station-master,” Kate thought. But who was to go? She would have to go herself. There was no one else.

In wind and rain she started on her difficult way. Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the Des Moines River, a bridge also built of wood, just like the bridge across Honey Creek. The storm had not washed this away, but there was no footpath across it She would have to cross it by stepping from sleeper (枕木) to sleeper. With great care she began the dangerous crossing, sometimes on her hands and knees, hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild flood waters below. If she should slip, she would fall between the sleepers, into the rapidly flowing stream.

At last-she never knew how long it had taken her - she felt solid ground under her feet. But there was no time to rest. She still had to run more than half a mile and had only a few minutes left. Unless she reached the station before the express did, many, many lives would be lost.

She did reach the station just as the train came into sight. Fortunately the station-master was standing outside. “The bridge is down! Stop the train! Oh, please stop it!” Kate shouted breathlessly.

The station-master went pale. He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light. He waved the red light as the train came into the station. It was not a second too early.

 

21. What did Kate decide to do?

A. Stop the express train.  B. Check the signal light.

C. Meet the passengers.   D. Visit the station-master

22. Which of the following words best describes Kate’s journey?

A. Fruitless.       B. Boring.     C. Well-planned.     D. Risky.

23. Why did the station-master turn pale?

A. He suddenly fell ill.          B. He realized the danger.

C. He discovered his mistake.     D. He became over-excited.

B

The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen is offering a free meal to any guest who is able to produce electricity for the hotel on an exercise bike linked to a generator (发电机). The idea is to get people fit and reduce their carbon footprint. Guests will have to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity - roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness. Guests staying at Plaza Hotel will be given meat tickets worth $36 once they have produced 10 watt hours of electricity. The bicycles will have smart phones attached to the handlebars measuring how much power is being generated for the hotel.

The plan, a world-first, will start on 19 April and run for a year. Only guests staying at the hotel will be able to take part. Frederikke Toemmergaard, hotel spokeswoman, said, “Many of our visitors are business people who enjoy going to the gym. There might be people who will cycle just to get a free meal, but generally I don’t think people will take advantage of our programme,”

Copenhagen has a long-standing cycling tradition and 36% of locals cycle to work each day, one of the highest percentages in the world, according to the website visitcopenhagen.dk. US environmental website treehugger.com recently voted Copenhagen the world’s best city for cyclists. “Because Copenhagen is strongly connected with cycling, we felt the bicycle would work well as a symbol of the hotel’s green profile (形象).”

If successful, the electric bicycle meal programme will be spread to all Crowne Plaza hotels in the UK, the hotel said in a statement.

 

24. What is the main purpose of the free meal programme?

A. To promote the hotel's green concept.      B. To make the city known to the world.

C. To attract people to the hotel restaurant.    D. To get guests to stay longer at the hotel.

25. How can a participant get a free meal?

A. By becoming a professional cyclist.       B. By cycling to produce some electricity.

C. By linking a smart phone to a bicycle.     D. By monitoring his or her carbon footprint.

26. Who are most likely to enter for the programme?

A. The poor local people.                 B. The environment activists.

C. Health-conscious hotel guests.           D. Visitors fond of Copenhagen food.

27. According to paragraph 3, Copenhagen has one of the world's          .

A. best chain hotels                      B. greenest natural environments

C. longest bike paths                     D. highest rales of people cycling to work

                                                                             C

Digital technology - email and smart phones especially-have vastly improved workers' ability to be productive outside of a traditional office. Even so, most white-collar work still happens in an office. One reason is that, according to findings of a new survey (调查) of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix, most bosses are doubtful about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesn't accept it» and only 35 percent say it’s tolerated.

Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced (加深)by the same survey, which shows that 43 percent of workers say they’ve watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely, while 35 percent have done housework，and 28 percent have cooked dinner.

It is true, however, that working at home makes people much more efficient (高效的), because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done. It’s much faster, for example, to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush.

The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven't come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.

More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value. Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who havens worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home. Under such circumstances, smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility to manage their time efficiently.

 

28. Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working?

A. They fear losing control of their workers.

B. They want to stick to their routine practice.

C. They have little trust in modem technology.

D. They are used to face-to-face communication.

29. What seems to be most workers’ attitude toward remote working?

A. Doubtful.         B. Favorable.        C. Reserved.        D. Disapproving.

30. What does the author suggest smart firms do?

A. Shorten their office hours.        B. Give employees a pay raise.

C. Adopt flexible work patterns.     D. Reduce their staff’s workload.

　　One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, "I'm going to find a better spot for us to camp" and walked away.
　　With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snowcapped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
　　"Tom!" she cried. "Help!"
　　No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
　　Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling(滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.
　　As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me? Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.

Dear Lynn,

I’m Li Hua, an exchange student from China, I’m happy to know that I’ll be slaying with your family in the next few months while I'm studying at the local high school. Thank you for having me! I will arrive in Toronto on August 20th and get to your place late that afternoon. I wonder if you could give me some advice so that I can get myself better prepared for my stay in Canada.

Looking forward to seeing you!

第二节:Possible versions:

1.Paragraph 1:

    But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again. Jane had to stay alone in the forest for another cold night. Although she felt a little sad, she didn’t get fearful. She thought about Tom. “He must have called for those helicopters. Maybe he was in one of them and will come back again! I have to guide him tomorrow.” She fell asleep and dreamed of seeing Tom.

Paragraph 2:

    It was daybreak when Jane woke up. She ate some berries and then walked along the stream, hoping to find a suitable place to guide the helicopter. Fortunately, she saw a huge flat rock in an open area at a distance. She rushed to the rock, climbed onto it and waited. To her great joy, the helicopter appeared again. The nearer it got, the more she flagged the yellow blouse. Luckily, the helicopter didn’t miss Jane this time and it landed near the big rock slowly. Tom jumped off the helicopter and ran towards Jane. She broke down and burst into tears.   (续写词数：154)

 

2. Paragraph 1:

        But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again. Jane tried to find shelter from the night cold. But unfortunately, she slipped over and broke her leg. With the extreme pain, Jane managed to make her way to a rock for shelter. Under the rock, Jane stayed wide awake, knowing she might not be able to get to the lake with a broken leg. “Don’t be afraid. Tom must be searching for me. And the helicopter will come back tomorrow,” she thought to herself. After quite a while, Jane fell asleep.

Paragraph 2:

    It was daybreak when Jane woke up. She struggled to her feet and headed for the stream. After having some berries and stream water, Jane walked slowly to an open area to wait for her rescue. To her great joy, she soon heard the helicopter. Jane madly waved her yellow blouse when it came into sight. Sadly, the helicopter flied away again. However, soon came the rescue team, together with Tom, who had found Jane’s location from the helicopter. Jane was saved.  (续写词数：163)
