Mr. Johnsons car had ended up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after he lost proper control on ice and hit

3、a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly，” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldnt force the doors open 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, f

4、irst tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn (笛) 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 g

5、et 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 (扳手) and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minute

6、s 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 climbed up clear as the car filled up.” His hands and arms cut and bruised, Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby. Huddled in a blank

7、et, 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. 21Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?AThe hammer.BThe coin. CThe seat. DT

10、of Mr. Johnson, a Sweet SalesmanCThe Driver Survived a Terrible Car AccidentDCar Boot Can Serve as the Best Escape RouteBTalking plants might sound like characters in a fairy tale. But recent scientific studies have shown that plants communicate with each other and with other living things in a surp

11、rising number of ways. To understand them, scientists say, we just have to learn their language. Farmers are especially interested in what plants have to say.“Plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms (有机体). They can communicate with giant bacteria, with other plants and with insect

12、s. They do this chemically，” said Cahill, an Ecology Professor of the University of Alberta in Canada.Plant scientists are just beginning to understand this chemical “language”. Cahill says studies have shown, for example, that plants can evaluate conditions in their immediate environment and take a

13、ppropriate actions. Plants have an ability, for example, to signal pain or discomfort caused by anything from temperature extremes to an insect attack. Jack Schultz, a professor of chemical ecology at the University of Missouri, says when a plant senses that its being eaten, it cannot walk away from

14、 trouble; on the contrary, it will release a chemical vapor that alerts other plants nearby.“Their language is a chemical language, and it involves chemicals that move through the air that are easy to be changeable, and most of all are smells that we are familiar with，” Schultz explained.“All plants

15、 responded to the attack by changing their chemistry to defend themselves，” Schultz recalled. “But we were quite surprised to find that nearby plants also changed their chemistry to defend themselves, even though they were not part of the experiment.”Studies have also shown that plants under attack

16、release pleasant chemicals. Those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant.In the end, plants ability to communicate their needsand our ability to understand themcould help farmers reduce the use of poisonous chemicals, cut operating costs and limit damage to the env

19、eaten Dallow28Which would be the best title for the passage?ACommunication between Plants BA Chemical “Language”CPlants Can Talk DHow Plants Protect ThemselvesCFor thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church

20、and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news. As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historicists. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “The Old Trip t

21、o Jerusalem”， which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England. However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pubs landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the

22、 fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.Thats how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch(信贷紧缩 ) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to s

23、pend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned (禁止) smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.This decline(衰退) is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 11 pm. Previously, with 11 pm. as cl

24、osing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”， and it causes longterm health problems for people and problems with violent crime

25、for communities.In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be “Working Mens Clubs”， meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experienc

26、ing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.29The passage mainly tells us something about _.Athe long history of British pubsBthe decline of British pubsCthe past and present of British pubsDthe importance of British pubs30Which may not be the cause of the decline of Briti

27、sh pubs?AThe credit crunch.BThe present closing time.CThe ban of smoking. DHaving no spare money.31We can infer from the passage that _.Abinge drinking means drinking less beerBBritish people used to like drinking slowlyCclosing the pubs early will reduce social problemsDBritish government aims to d

28、iscourage people from binge drinking32We can see from the last Paragraph that the author _.Aholds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubsBis against the admission of too many women to the pubsCthinks that women in the pubs will cause less social problemsDthinks that British pubs should offer

29、 everything you needDTo the Editor，Re Why a Fallen Angel Is a Centerfold (Sunday Review, Nov. 6): I first met Lindsay Lohan in 1997 when she was 11 and I was the casting director (挑选演员的人) of the film The Parent Trap. I was struck by her talent, fresh charm and innocence the moment I caught sight of

30、her. She was, and remains, a gifted actress and a good human being.It is not for me to judge Ms Lohans choices, or whether fame has been less than kind to her, but I have been greatly saddened by the way the media have chosen, with all gloves off and seemingly going with what could please them, to r

31、ecord her efforts and failures. She is a sentient (能感知事物的) human being, not a thing, not a product, not anything else to be sold.Charles McGrath makes several attractive points in his news analysis about the public demand which is impossible to satisfy, in a 24/7 news cycle forever changed by the In

32、ternet, to gossip about, and give nearly complete access to, celebrity or famous persons lives. Perhaps people do feel better knowing that wealth and fame do not lead to a perfect life for everyone. Perhaps we admire famous people only to reject them without any pity or mercy when their behavior dis

33、appoints us.I find it ironic (讽刺的) that Ms Lohans decision to pose for Playboy for a monetary reward is considered to be morally questionable, while journalists and photographers gain profit by writing about and capturing images of her and other famous people.Perhaps when reporting on and reading ab

34、out famous people who have lost their way, we will remember that those people are also very human people who, like us, make mistakes, endure misfortune and have a chancein spite of media coverageto begin a completely new life tomorrow.ILENE STARGERBrooklyn33What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?ALind
