In the event of an attack, the public will be warned through wireless emergency alert systems. Listen to information broadcast over the TV and radio.‎ Protect yourself from a terrorist or an armed attack If an explosion occurs, quickly hide under something like a table. Explosions could continue, so evacuate(撤离) to a safe place.‎ If a fire breaks out due to a terrorist or an armed attack, cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and quickly evacuate while keeping yourself as low as possible.‎ If you are trapped, tap on pipes or other things nearby to let others know where you are. Calling out loudly for help should be the last thing to do since this could cause dust to be breathed in.‎ Evacuate from a missile attack Since it will be difficult to identify the area where the missiles will hit, if you are outdoors, evacuate into a strong building, underground shopping areas, or other indoor areas nearby. Afterwards, follow the instructions of the authorities.‎ Evacuate from biochemical attacks Cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief and leave the area immediately. Evacuate to a safe place that is unlikely to become affected, such as a closed-off place indoors or high ground upwind.‎ Evacuate from a nuclear explosion If there is a nuclear explosion, hide behind cover and evacuate to an underground facility or a strong building. A “dirty bomb” will cause radioactive pollution of the area. Follow the instructions of the authorities and consult a physician.‎ 21. According to the text, if you hear an explosion, you must first .‎ A. evacuate to a strong facility B. take shelter to protect yourself ‎ C. listen to information broadcast over the radio D. find out what is going on ‎22.How can you evacuate from a biochemical attack?‎ A.

By moving to high ground upwind.‎ ‎23.The text intends to .‎ A. spread knowledge of protecting oneself against various attacks B. warn people of the dangers of terrorist and armed attacks C. inform people of the emergency alert systems D. stress the importance of following the instructions of the authorities B ‎ The Boy Made It!‎ On Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.‎ Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.‎ He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put(原位不动). The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.‎ Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.‎ By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could — he huddled(蜷缩) in his cave and slept.‎ The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved. ‎ Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm if it had not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode(一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.‎ When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.‎ ‎24. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?‎ A. He broke his skis. B. He got lost.‎ C. He caught a cold. D. He hurt his eyes.‎ ‎25. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?‎ A. He kept on skiing. B. He built a snow cave.‎ C. He found a shelter. D. He lighted some branches.‎ ‎26. On Tuesday, Nicholas ____________.‎ A. stayed where he was B. got stuck in the snow C. was saved by a searcher D. returned to his shelter safely ‎27. Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he ____________.‎ A. watched Grylls’ TV program regularly B. was very hard-working C. did the right things in the dangerous situation ‎ D. created some tips for survival ‎ C A team of Japanese scientists has discovered genes that enable rice to survive high water, providing hope for better rice production in lowland areas that are affected by flooding.‎ The genes, called SNORKEL genes, help rice grow longer stems to deal with higher water levels. Deepwater rice generally produces low-yield rice plants. But the researchers report they have succeeded in introducing the genes to rice varieties that are higher-yield.‎ According to the report, as water levels rise, accumulation of the plant hormone makes the SNORKEL genes start working, making stem growth more rapid. When the researchers introduced the genes into rice that does not normally survive in deep water, they were able to rescue the plants from drowning.‎ Motoyuki Ashikari, who headed the project, said his team is hoping to use the gene on long grain rice widely used in Southeast Asian to help stabilize production in flood areas where rice with the flood-resistant gene is low in production ---about one-third to one-quarter that of regular rice.‎ ‎"Scientifically, the gene that we found is rare but clear proof of a biological ability to adapt to a difficult environment," he said. "It's a genetic strategy specifically to survive flooding."‎ High water levels in rice field can be a serious problem. In some areas, rains can cause water levels to rise dangerously high during the growing season and flash flooding can fully submerge plants for days or even weeks.‎ Rice is a main food for billions, and while productivity has increased dramatically since the 1960s, yields must be doubled to meet projected requirements by 2050. More than 30 percent of Asian and 40 percent of African rice land is either lowland field or deepwater field.‎ Laurentius of Utrecht University said the study is significant because high-yield rice varieties cannot survive extremes of floods. "The introduction of these genes into high-yield varieties, using advanced breeding strategies, promises to improve the quality and quantity of rice," he said.‎ ‎28.What is the main character of SNORKEL genes?‎ A. They prevent rice from being attacked by various diseases.‎ B. They help rice grow taller in highland regions.‎ C. They make rice grow tall enough to survive in deep water.‎ D. They make rice be ripe within a shorter time.‎ ‎29.According to Ashikari, the rice with the gene his team found ______.‎ A. will be one third more expensive than regular rice B. has been widely used in Southeast Asia C. will be helpful for Southeast Asia ‎ D. is lower in production than regular rice ‎30.The underlined word“projected”in the seventh paragraph probably means _____.‎ A.planned B. outdated C. unexpected D. confused ‎31.What Laurentius said in the last paragraph suggests that_____.‎ A. rice will be planted on the farmland everywhere in the future B. rice with SNORKEL genes will be of high quality in the future C. high-yield rice varieties are not common nowadays D. the quality of rice is difficult to improve ‎ D You get anxious if there’s no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smartphone addiction.‎ For some people, smartphones have freed them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy（自主权）in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smartphones have become tyrants（暴君）in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off, relax and recharge their batteries.‎ Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app—Moment—to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached（突破）. “Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”‎ Dr Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”‎ And as the number of connected smartphones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis（瘫痪）and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr Christine Grant.‎ ‎32. What’s the first paragraph mainly about?‎ A. The popularity of smartphones. B. The progress of modern technology C. The signs of “always on” stress. D. The cause of smartphone addiction ‎33. Kevin Holesh developed Moment to ______.‎ A. research how people use their mobile phones B. make people better use mobile phones C. increase the fun of using mobile phones D. help people control their use of mobile phones ‎34. What’s Dr Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture?‎ A. Confused. B. Positive. C. Critical D. Doubtful.‎ ‎35. According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means ______.‎ A. we will become less productive B. we can make a decision more quickly C. we will be equipped with more knowledge D. we can work more effectively 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ When we are grown-ups, it’s quite natural to look back on our different stages of life and remember who was there to see us through. 36 While some people’s high school friendships gradually end, mine have stuck with me through every bit of life since. And I suppose high school friends are the friends you’ll build the strongest relationships with.‎ ‎ 37 Whether it is the bad haircut or the braces you wear, your high school friends help you through it all. They tell you that you look wonderful when you cannot go out in public with that hairdo. 38 ‎ They understand the most about you. High school friends know you better than anyone else. They can just look at you and know how you’re feeling. You cannot hide much from them. __39__ and they’d rather help deal with the problem at hand than let it go. So even when you don’t want to hear it, prepare yourself –because they are not going to stop trying until you’re back to your normal self.‎ They make for the best reunion. Reunions are harder to organize when friends live across the country. However, with high school friends, it’s easy to enjoy the time together — you can often pick up just where you left off, no matter how long ago that was. Friendship can be hard to keep. __40__‎ A. We could depend on our friends all the time.‎ B. For me, I often think about my fantastic group of high school friends.‎ C. Let’s pray the flower of friendship would always bloom brightly in our hearts.‎ D. They build up your self-confidence to get you through each tough situation.‎ E. They can sense something is off when you’re the slightest bit strange F. But it never seems like hard work with the ones you’ve known and loved for long.‎ G. They are with you through your embarrassing stages. ‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分20分）‎ 第一节：完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Dear girls，‎ The dream itself comes from hard work，some good luck and good timing.
