【題目】It is interesting to see that the force of only 6 or 7 people pushing in the same direction can cause up to 1,000 pounds of force-enough to break brick walls. During a deadly stampede(逃奔), people can even die standing up. People die when pressure is put to their bodies in a front to back direction, causing them not to be able to breathe.

If you are in a crowd, the first and most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings and find different exits. No matter where you are, make sure you always know how to get out.

Make yourself aware of the type of the ground you are standing on, and know that in a crowd of moving people wet ground can cause you to fall.

When in danger, a few seconds can make a difference, giving you the possibility of making use of your escaping route. Always stay closer to the escape route. If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not fight against the pressure, do not stand still or sit down, because you can easily get trampled（踩踏）. Instead, move in the same direction of the crowd; make use of any space that may open up to move sideways to the crowd movement where the flow is weaker.

Keep your hands up by your chest, like a boxer-it gives you movement and protects your chest. If you fall, get up quickly. If you can’t get up because you are injured, get someone to pull you up. If you have kids, lift them up.

If you fall and cannot get up, keep moving in the same direction of the crowd, or if that is not possible, then cover your head with your arms; do not lie on your stomach or back.

【1】In a stampede people may die standing up mainly because_______.

A. they can’t breathe freely B. they push in the same direction

C. they are not able to get up D. they aren’t familiar with the surroundings

【2】What does the word deadly underlined in the first paragraph probably mean?

A. harmful. B. shocking.

C. deathly D. hateful.

【3】When in danger, to make a difference, you should______.

A. fight against the pressure B. stand still where you are

C. sit down covering your head D. move along the escape route.

【4】In the passage the write mainly wants to tell us _______.

A. how to stay far away from a crowd B. what to do when you are in a crowd

C. where to go when you are in danger D. how to get along with a big crowd

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】人群中發(fā)生蜂擁事件會造成大量人員傷亡，作者在本文中講述了在處于人群中時(shí)，應(yīng)該如何去做以防意外發(fā)生。

【1】A

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段可知，在致命的蜂擁事件中，人們甚至站著就死去了，原因是當(dāng)壓力從他們的身體前方向后方施加時(shí)，他們不能呼吸。故選A。

【2】C

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第一段第二句后半句people can even die standing up.人們甚至站著死。可知，這一定是一次致命的踩踏事件。劃線詞的意思是“致命的”，故選C。

【3】D

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段可知，處于危險(xiǎn)中時(shí)，確保你可以利用你的逃跑路線，不要與人群的壓力相對抗，不要站著不動或坐下來，由此可推知D項(xiàng)正確。

【4】B

主旨大意題。第一、二段導(dǎo)入文章的話題，擁擠的人群可能造成人的死亡，后面詳細(xì)敘述有了當(dāng)你處于人群中時(shí)，應(yīng)該如何去做以防意外發(fā)生，由此可判斷B項(xiàng)正確。

【題目】The Children’s Book-Show Competition is a chance for young readers to be writers.

Reading, it seems, is coming back in fashion, if a survey by the famous National Literacy Trust (the NLT) is true. It shows that the percentage of children who admit enjoying reading has grown for the first time in the past 8 years.

So it’s a good time to launch a competition that includes a shed-load of new books for schools as prizes. The Children’s Book-show Competition, backed by The Independent, is taking to the roads again from the start of next term, with a nation-wide tour of 15 big cities, featuring a line-up of a dozen children’s writers and illustrators (插圖畫家) aiming to persuade pupils to follow their footsteps.

The competition, launched by the children’s writer and illustrator Jessica Souhami, has two categories: the under-nine’s and nine to 13-year-olds.

Children are asked to choose their favorite fairy or folk tale and set it in an extraordinary place.

Then they are to retell it with the aid of drawings and writings—whether it is set at sea, on a distant planet, in the future or in the past. The closing date for the competition is 30th November.

“Tell your tale in pictures and in words, ”say the organizers of the competition. “It can be in a picture book or comic-book format.”

The winner of each competition will receive a signed copy of a book by each of the 12 authors involved in this year’s tour, plus 150 worth of books for their school. The runners-up will receive a signed copy of Souhami’s new book.

【1】What can we know about the Book-show Competition?

A. It will be held by the famous NLT. B. It will be held in different cities.

C. It has never been organized before. D. Children of all ages will join in it.

【2】The underlined word “backed” in Paragraph 3 means ________.

A. started B. promoted

C. supported D. reported

【3】Which of the following sentences is TRUE?

A. The survey by the NLT is definitely true.

B. The winner of each competition will receive a signed copy of Souhami’s new book.

C. 12 children’s writers and illustrators are involved in this year’s tour.

D. The survey by the NLT shows that the number of children who enjoy reading is much larger than before.

【4】The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ________.

A. encourage young readers to become writers

B. persuade all children to join in the competition

C. promote children’s books by famous writers

D. introduce the Children’s Book-Show Competition

【題目】Carol: I started playing the cello（大提琴）when I was about eight or nine. It was great playing the cello because I was in youth orchestras and we went abroad to do tours. But anyway, when I got to university, I stopped playing. Well, there just wasn’t time and there were so many other things to do. Luckily, I took it up after my 25th birthday and joined a band.

Vince: I’ve played the guitar for as long as I can remember, but when I was trying to make it as a musician after school, I used to play in the Underground in London to make a bit of extra money.
