In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (短吻鳄) was swimming toward the shoe. His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could.‎ Hearing her voice, the little boy became worried and made a return to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the bank, the mother caught her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began a tug-of-war (拔河) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too determined to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.‎ After weeks and weeks in hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the attack of the animal and on his arms were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.‎ The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the injury, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pants legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter. “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom wouldn’t let go.‎ ‎1、The boy’s legs were scarred by_______.‎ A．his mother B．an alligator C．a farmer D．a reporter ‎2、Why did the farmer help the mother?‎ A．He didn’t want to see the alligator killing the boy.‎ B．She was much too determined to let go of the boy.‎ C．Her nails dug into the boy’s flesh to hang on to the boy.‎ D．The boy lifted his pants legs to show his scars.‎ ‎3、What is the best title of the passage?‎ A．A Brave Boy B．The scars of Love C．A Helpful Farmer D．A Mother and An Alligator B Opening in 1934, the Brookfield Zoo quickly received a worldwide reputation for its special displays and unique exhibits.‎ Address: 1st Avenue between Ogden Avenue and 31st Street, Brookfield, Illinois Phone: 708-688-8000‎ Getting to the Brookfield Zoo by Public Transportation:‎ The Metra Rail Burlington Northern line runs from Union Station downtown to the “Zoo Stop”‎ Driving from Downtown:‎ ‎  Drive along the Eisenhower Expressway west to First Avenue exit and follow the signs to the zoo entrance.‎ The Brookfield Zoo Tickets:‎ ‎ Adults(aged12-64):$13.50; Seniors(aged65+):$9.50; Children(aged3-11):$7.50; (under3, free)‎ The Brookfield Zoo Featured Exhibits:‎ Tropic World; Wolf Woods; Living Coast; Seven Seas; Fragile Kingdom; About the Brookfield Zoo: The Brookfield Zoo is located just 14 miles west of downtown Chicago.

The situation frightens both local citizens and travelers.‎ ‎   There is no vaccine(疫苗) or special treatment. And the fatality(致命) rate is very high. That rate represents the number of people who get sick from Ebola and then die. Ebola can kill up to 90 percent of those infected（被传染的）.‎ ‎   It is difficult to stop Ebola from spreading. It moves easily from person to person. The disease strikes its victims through direct contact with the blood or other liquid from the body of an infected person. For that reason Ebola patients must be kept away from other people. The bodies of victims still contain the virus days after they die. Local traditions and burial customs also make the sickness hard to control. Doctors say it is important to identify an Ebola case early to prevent others from becoming infected. Patients suffer from high body temperature, bleeding and so on.‎ ‎   Only a few prevention measures exist. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US, the CDC, and the WHO suggest staying away from countries with confirmed(被证实的) Ebola cases. People at increased threat include those working in animal research, health care workers and others caring for patients in the community.‎ ‎   As of July 15, 2014, the WHO says Ebola killed 68 people in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, the three countries where the disease has been confirmed. A patient in Ghana was suspected of having Ebola, but tests did not show the sickness. Ghanaian observers say the man has since died from unknown causes. The victim was an American citizen.‎ ‎   In the past, cases of Ebola have been confirmed in the Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Sudan, and Uganda.‎ ‎   Doctors advise careful protective measures if you must go to an area where Ebola exists.‎ ‎   Wash your hands often. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer(消毒杀菌剂)—or cleaner —containing at least 60 percent alcohol. Avoid eating monkeys or other wild meat. Stay away from mines and places where bats and other rodents may live.‎ If Ebola has been identified directly around you, the CDC and WHO strongly suggest wearing protective clothing. Cover your face and hands. Goggles(护目镜) can help protect the eyes. Try to remove Ebola germs (细菌) with cleaners that fight infection.‎ ‎12.Ebola spreads through _________.‎ A. the air that infected people breathe out B. body touch with infected people C. the blood or other liquid from infected people D. objects that infected people have touched ‎13.According to the passage, Ebola is difficult to control partly because of _________.‎ A. the lack of medical equipment B. local burial tradition C. difficult processes of confirming D. local people’s poor living conditions ‎14.In countries with confirmed Ebola cases, people should keep away from people ________.‎ A. living in the community B. working in research centers C. traveling in Africa D. providing health care ‎15.What might be the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Origin of Ebola Virus B. The Vaccine Against Ebola Is on the Way C. Ebola’s Influence Is Increasing D. Staying Safe Against ‎  ‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，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选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Tips for the perfect selfie(自拍)‎ ‎     You can take a selfie with a hand-held digital camera or mobile phone and later share it on the Internet.
