10、ore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An agreesive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the la

11、st minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back- the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge h

12、ead was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little c

13、hance of running faster than a brown bear.The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.Drawing back my free hand,

14、 I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning

15、 for another attack- The first time I felt panic.Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. Im proud that my family reminded clear-headed when 3panic could have le

16、d to a very different outcome.25. The brown bear approached the family in order to _.A. catch shore birds B. start an attackC. protect the children D. set up a barrier for itself26.

17、ter and his family survived mainly due to their _ .A. pride B. patienceC. calmness D. cautiousnessCEating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you b

18、reathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists fou

19、nd that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “modera

20、te” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such 4as smoking and high

21、 blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health

22、.28. The text mainly discusses the relationship between _.A. heart problems and air quality B. heart problems and exercisingC. heart problems and smoking D. heart problems and fatty food29. The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means_.A. relatively high B. extremely lowC. relativ

23、ely low D. extremely high30. What can we learn from the text?A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.B. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.C. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,D. Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.31. The authors purpose of

24、writing the text is most likely to _ . A. inform B. persuade C. describe D. entertainDSpring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may

25、 accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身）nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you cant judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we

26、 wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances，so do companies. Dress standards exist 5in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may

27、say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose t

28、he people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I cant expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of

29、 choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply cause he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.32.

30、ples appearances carry messages about themselves.B. Customers choices influence dress standards in companies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D.

31、o wear what companies prefer for an interview.B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.34. Which of the following would be the best title for the

32、text?A. Employees Matter B. Personal Choices MatterC. Appearances Matter D. Hiring Managers Matter35. The authors attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as _.A. enthusiastic B. negative C positive D. sympathetic第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳

A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and ho

34、w to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. _36_Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really re

35、ported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study._37_Watch for misleading language.
