Lisa was running late.Lisa,25 ,had a lot to do at work,plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown.But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warn.By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired-- maybe it hadn' t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought.She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.
Several yards away, Frank ,43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer,found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop.They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling," Oh, my God, she fell in!" Frank didn' t hesitate.He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails."No ! Not you ! "his girlfriend screamed after him.
She was right to be alarmed.By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming.The train was about 20 seconds from the station.
It was hard to lift her.She was just out.But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge.That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse.
Lisa thought she' d been robbed.A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head.And she tried to talk but she couldn' t, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.
Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer.Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown--just as he had been seconds after the rescue,which made her think about her reaction at the time."I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die."she explained.The passage is intended toA.warn us of the danger in the subway
B.show us how to save people in the subway
C.tell us about a subway rescue
D.report a traffic accident
答案:C解析:记叙文,没有主题句。本文按时间顺序,从Lisa晕倒到 Frank冒险将她救到站台上,全文只是告诉我们一个在地铁救人的事实。

When I was about 12 1 had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings.Week by week her list grew:I was skinny,I wasn't a good student,I was boyish,I talked too loud,and so on.I put up with her as long as I could.At last,with great anger,I ran to my father in tears.
He listened to my outburst quietly.Then he asked,"Are the things she says true or not?"
True?I wanted to know how to strike back.What did truth have to do with it?
"Mary,didn't you ever wonder what you are really like?Well,you now have that girl's opinion.Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true.Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true.Some of them I couldn't change(like being skinny),but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change.
For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy.He refused to take it.
"That's just for you,"he said."You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself,once you hear it.But you've got to learn to listen,not to close your ears in anger or hurt.When something said about you is true you'll know it.You'll find that it will echo inside you."
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments.Why did the girl's father ask her to make the list?A.He wanted to keep the list at hom
B.He didn't know what the girl's enemy had sai
C.He wanted the girl to talk bac

问答题Section C (10 marks) Lisa Tyler was weary after a long, hard day at the pottery factory where she works, but as she approached her home in the English city of Stoke-on-Trent, her heart lightened; soon she would be having a nice cup of tea, putting her feet up and watching Friends, her favourite TV series, But first, she needed to change out of her work clothes and pick up her three-year-old son from his grandmother’s house nearby. As Lisa walked up her garden path, she noticed a light flashing on and off in an upstairs bedroom. A shiver went down her back. . What if it was a burglar? Quietly, she crept round to the back of the house to see if there was any sign of a break-in. Sure enough, a window was open and someone’s coat was hanging on the gatepost! Well, 26-year-old Lisa didn’t fancy coming face to face with a burglar, so she ran to a neighbour’s house and rang the police. As she sat waiting for the police to arrive, Lisa’s curiosity got the better of her and she decided to go back and see what was going on. That’s when she saw a leg coming out of the downstairs front window. It was a man climbing out. Lisa gasped in shock. The burglar war carrying her portable television! At this point, Lisa saw red. She didn’t have many possessions and she’d saved long and hard to buy that set. Besides, nobody was going to stop her watching Friends.“Oh no, you don’t.” she muttered under her breath, as fury swelled inside her. Without even stopping to think, she across the garden and started shouting at the burglar, “Give me my TV—drop it now!” Ignoring her, the man fled across the garden, so Lisa threw herself at him and successfully rugby-tackled him to the ground. The burglar struggled to escape, but Lisa hung on like the best kind of guard dog, despite being punched and kicked. As she looked up, she realized that she recognized the burglar’s face. She was so surprised that she lost her grip and the burglar got away, leaving the TV behind in the garden. By the time the police and her father arrived, Lisa was in tears. “I can’t believe you were so foolish, Lisa,” scolded her father. “You could have been killed.” “I know, but at least he didn’t get my TV.” she replied. Lisa later remembered the name of the burglar, who had been in the same year as her at school. He was later caught and jailed for 15 months after committing a burglary and assault. In May last year, Lisa was given a Certificate of Appreciation by Staffordshire police for her “outstanding courage and public action”. In the future, however, she intends to leave household security to a new member of her family, Chan, who is a real guard dog. Answer the questions in no more than 10 words. 1.What first led Lisa to think there was a burglar in her house? 2.Why didn’t Lisa wait in her neighbour’s house until the police arrived? 3.What does “Lisa saw red (in the 4th paragraph)” most probably mean? 4.What did the burglar do when Lisa shouted at him? 5.How did Lisa help to catch the burglar later?正确答案:1.A light flashed on and off in an upstairs bedroom. /Something was moving inside. 根据文章第二段she noticed a light flashing on and off in an upstairs bedroom. A shiver went down her back. . What if it was a burglar?可知a light flashing on and off in an upstairs bedroom提醒了她。在回答此问题时注意使用完整的句子。2.Lisa’s curiosity got the better of her. /She was eager to find out what was happening. 根据第三段中As she sat waiting for the police to arrive, Lisa’s curiosity got the better of her and she decided to go back and see what was going on可知是好奇使她想过去看看怎么回事,而不是在邻居家等着.3.She got angry. 根据这句之后她想到自己没有多少财产,她省了很长时间的钱才买了这台电视,而且没人能阻止她看《老友记》,可知她内心十分生气,在下一段作者明确提出fury swelled inside her,可知她十分生气。4.He ignored Lisa and fled across the garden. 根据文中Ignoring her, the man fled across the garden可知他没把Lisa放在眼里,就跑过庭院逃跑了。5.She later remembered the name of the burglar. /She realized she could identify him. 根据倒数第四段she realized that she recognized the burglar’s face以及最后一段Lisa later remembered the name of the burglar, who had been in the same year as her at school. He was later caught…可知是由于Lisa想起窃贼的名字帮助了警察破案。解析:暂无解析

问答题Practice 5 This isn’t the sort of girl to let the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle go to her head. Even if she did, her family would bring her down to earth. “When I started at Capital the only thing my brothers asked was whether they’d get free records,” she remembers. “And my mum couldn’t even find the station on her radio.” Margherita Taylor is very nice and very easy-going, but very much in control. She is so much a “Capital Radio girl” that you might think she is just doing a good job for the station’s publicity department, although you know what she’s saying really comes from the heart. She smiles a lot, laughs a lot and is generally a great advert for Capital.正确答案:【参考译文】 她不是那种让摇滚乐风格的生活方式充斥大脑的女孩。即使她这样做了,她家人也不会赞同。“我来首都电台工作后,我哥哥问的唯一事情是是否可以得到免费唱片,”她回忆说,“我妈妈甚至在收音机上找不到首都电台。” 玛格丽特·泰勒平易近人,但有控制力强。她是个很好的“首都电台女孩”,你可能觉得她所做的就是给电台的宣传部做好工作,虽然你知道她说的都是心里话。她常常微笑或大笑,她本身就是首都电台的一则很好的广告。解析:暂无解析
