(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River. Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday. He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him. “I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.” Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water. When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes. Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after. The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning. “I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.” 1.Why was Duret in New York? A. To meet his girlfriend. B. To spend his holiday. C. To work as an engineer. D. To visit the Andersons. 2.What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came? A. He was interviewed by a newspaper. B. He went to the hospital in the ambulance. C. He disappeared from the spot quickly. D. He asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes. 3. Who dived after Duret into the river to save the little girl? A. David Anderson B. A passer-by C. His girlfriend D. A taxi driver 4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Duret thought twice before he jumped into the cold water. B. Duret dived into the water before the girl’s father. C. The rescue happened on the day Duret left for France. D. Duret didn’t think he was brave enough to be a hero. 5.What is probably the headline of this news report? A. A Careless Father B. A Poor Girl C. Warm-hearted Onlookers D. Brave Frenchman Found

Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline（下降） when they reach middle age. The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age. “We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK. “Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.” What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one’s. “This gender（ 性别） difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink. The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age. 1.The underlined word “longevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to “________”. A. health B. ageing C. long life D. effect 2.The text mainly talks about ________. A. men’s heart cells B. women’s ageing process C. the gender difference D. hearts and long life 3.According to the text, the UK scientists have known that ________. A. women have more cells than men when they are born B. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat C. the female heart loses few of the cells with age D. women never lose their pumping power with age 4.If you want to live longer, you should ________. A. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy B. find out the reason for ageing C. enable your heart to beat much faster D. prevent your cells from being lost 5.We can know from the passage that ________. A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out B. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells C. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss D. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20

After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend’s Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes too difficult to understand after his clear words on screen; a secretary’s tone seems more rejecting than I’d imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid—hours become minutes, and alternately seconds stretch into days. Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days. For the last three years, since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose, I have done much of my work as a tele-commuter. I submit（提交） articles and edit them by E-mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England; so much of our relationship is computer-mediated. If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage my money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard(暴风雪) of ’96 on TV. But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though I’ve merged（融合） with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another node（波节） on the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It’s like attending an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents’ worst nightmare. What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face, has become an avoidance（逃避），a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber interaction, coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult. At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I’d never done previously. The voices of the programs relax me, but then I’m jarred by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. “Dateline”, “Frontline” , “Nightline,” CNN, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background. 1.Compared to the clear words of her boyfriend on screen, his accent becomes______. A. unreal B. unbearable C. misleading D. not understandable 2.The passage implies that the author and her boyfriend live in______. A. the same city B. the same country C. different countries D. different cities in England 3.What does the last paragraph mean? A. Having worked on the computer for too long, she became a bit strange. B. Sometimes TV programs give her comfort and even makes her forget her work. C. She watches TV a lot in order to keep up with the latest news and the weather. D. She turns on TV now and then in order to get some valuable information. 4.What is the author’s attitude to the computer? A. At first she likes it but later becomes tired of it. B. She likes it because it is very convenient. C. She dislikes it because TV is more attractive. D. She likes it because it provides an imaginary world. 5.The underlined phrase “coming back out of the cave” probably means______. A. going back to the dreaming world B. coming back home from the outside world C. bringing back direct human contact D. getting away from living a strange life

阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的词数要求）。 [1]Global difference in intelligence is a sensitive topic, long filled with a large number of different opinions. But recent data has indeed shown cognitive (认知的) ability to be higher in some countries than in others. What's more, IQ scores have risen as nations develop—a phenomenon known as the "Flynn effect". Many causes have been put forward for both the intelligence difference and the Flynn effect, including education, income, and even non-agricultural labor. Now, a new study from researchers at the University of New Mexico offers another interesting theory: intelligence may be linked to infectious-disease rates. [2]The brain, say author Christopher Eppig and his colleagues, is the "most costly organ in the human body". Brainpower consumes almost up to 90 percent of a newborn's energy. It's clear that if something affects energy intake while the brain is growing, the impact could be long and serious. And for vast parts of the globe, the biggest threat to a child's body—and therefore brain—is parasitic (由寄生虫引起的) infection. These illnesses threaten brain development________________. They can directly attack live tissue, which the body must then try every means to replace. They can invade the digestive pipe and block nutritional intake. They can rob the body's cells for their own reproduction. And then there's the energy channeled (输送) to the immune system to fight the infection. [3]Using data on national "disease burdens" (life years lost due to infectious diseases) and average intelligence scores, the authors found they are closely associated. The countries with the lowest average IQ scores have the highest disease burdens without exception. On the contrary, nations with low disease burdens top the IQ list. [4]If the study holds water, it could be revolutionary for our understanding of the still-confusing variation in national intelligence scores. 1.What is the main idea of the text？(no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 2.Complete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 4 words) Those countries that have the ________________ are always at the bottom of the IQ list. 3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 5 words) ___________ 4.What can cause intelligence difference？(no more than 8 words) ______________________________________________________________________ 5.What does the word “they” (Line2, paragraph3)probably refer to? (no more than 8 words) ______________________________________________________________________
