28、D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 The number killed in the Bradford City football ground disaster has risen to 52; more than 70 police and spectators have also been detained in hospital. The match was being recorded by York shire TV when the fire began. When it first broke out, a few tongue
29、s of flame could be seen under the wooden seats in the G block of the stand. Some of the spectators walked away casually from the smoke. Then suddenly the fire spread with terrifying speed, and within minutes the whole stand was in flames. Most of the spectators rushed forwards onto the pits to avoi
30、d the blaze. In the panic, sever al spectators were crushed, and police and other fans ran back to the stands to help them. The rescuers clothes and hair could be seen bursting into flames in the intense heat. Most of the dead were found piled up at the back of the stand, where they had run to escap
31、e from the fire. However, the gates at the back of the stand had been locked before the start of the match. This had been done to prevent people from entering without paying. Eyewitnesses spoke of fans being crushed beneath the turnstile in a desperate attempt to escape. Throughout the day, weeping
32、relatives trailed into hospitals and police stations looking for missing members of their families. The police are faced with the problem of identifying the victims and dental records and jewelry are being collected to help with the task. The alarmingly quick spread of the fire was of serious concer
33、n to police and fire-brigade investigators last night. They believe that paper and other rubbish that had accumulated over the years beneath the wooden stands provided ready-made fuel for the fire. Police think that the blaze was started by a dropped cigarette. They also found out that fire extingui
34、shers had been removed from the stands because they had been used in the past by fans as missiles. The tragedy is the worst in football history since 66 fans died when part of stadium collapsed in Scotland in 1971. 46 What might be the title of the passage? （ A） Tragedy in Human History. （ B） Locked
35、 Gates and Timber Stand Create Death-trap. （ C） Fire in the Bradford Theatre. （ D） Football Causes Great Disaster. 47 Why did some of the spectators walk away casually from the smoke? （ A） They were afraid to be trapped in the fire. （ B） They did not want to rescue those piled up at the back of the
36、stand. （ C） They did not realize that a fire broke out. （ D） They wanted to escape from the fire as soon as possible. 48 Some of the dead at the back of the stand would have escaped from the fate if _. （ A） the organizers had not locked the gates at the back of the stand （ B） they had not been in su
37、ch a panic （ C） they had not thrown paper and rubbish beneath the wooden stands （ D） they had not dropped cigarettes 49 The loss of the disaster could be reduced if _. （ A） the rescuers had reacted more quickly （ B） eyewitnesses had all helped the rescue work （ C） the fans in the past had not been s
38、o ignorant of the fire precaution rule （ D） the fire-brigade had come earlier 50 Which of the following is true according to the passage? （ A） The police knew very soon who most of the victims were. （ B） More people died at Bradford than at the stadium in Scotland. （ C） The fire spread so fast proba
39、bly because of the peoples clothes and hair. （ D） There was nothing in the stands to put the fire out with when it started. 50 Are you always sure you know what people mean when they try to describe their feelings to you? We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is tha
40、t these words and gestures can be interpreted in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feeling. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often
41、show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because such behaviour patterns are inherited rather than learned. Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English fiction, a phrase like he went pale and began to tremble suggests that th
42、e man is either very afraid or has just had a very nasty shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide“ is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it conveys surprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues“. Sticking out your tongue in English
43、 is an insulting gesture or expresses disgust. Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to interpret and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on peoples faces. Disgust, contempt and s
44、uffering seem to be the most difficult emotions for people everywhere either to recognize or to express. Other studies have shown that older people usually find it easier to interpret body language (the way people stand or move etc. ) than younger people do. And psychologists such as E. G. Beicr hav
45、e also shown that some people frequently give completely the wrong impression of how they feel. For instance, they try to show affection but in fact communicate dislike. Or when they want to show interest, they give the impression that they dont care. This can happen even among close friends and mem
46、bers of the same family. In other words, what we think we are communicating through language, voice, face and body movements may be the exact opposite of what other people understand. 51 What might be the reason for the behaviour patterns of animals and humans? （ A） They learn them from their parent
47、s. （ B） They develop the patterns as they grow older. （ C） They are born with them. （ D） They are taught about them by their elders. 52 Which of the following emotions is NOT shown in the same way in different cultures? （ A） Happiness. （ B） Surprise. （ C） Sadness. （ D） Terror. 53 What kind of people
48、 are better at recognizing the expression of horror? （ A） Men. （ B） Children. （ C） Old people. （ D） Women. 54 Which of the following is true according to the passage? （ A） Two close friends wont make mistakes in expressing and interpreting each others feelings. （ B） Stretching out ones tongue convey
49、s an unfavourable expression in English. （ C） It is easy for people to recognize and express the strong feeling of dislike. （ D） Older people are not better than young people in understanding body language. 55 We can generalize from the passage that _. （ A） we express our feelings in much the same way （ B） men differ from women in their ability to express and interpret feelings （ C） our feelings are not so easy to express and interpret （ D） diffe
