Our boat floated on between walls of
forest. It was too thick for us to get a view of the land we were passing
through, though we knew from the map that our river must be passing through
chains of hills from time to time. Nowhere did we find a place where we could
have landed: although the jungle did not actually spread right down into
the river, banks of soft mud prevented us from going ashore. In any case, what
would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other
dangerous creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to
advance slowly, cutting one's way with knives the whole way. So we stayed in
the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick
us up and take us to civilization.
As for water, there was a choice. We
could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst. We drank the water. Men
who have just escaped from what appeared to be certain death lost all worries
about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of us
suffered from any illness as a result.
One day we passed another village, but
fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a
second time: we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again.

18【題文】If you travel to a new exhibition at the San Francisco Conservatory of
Flowers, you will have chances to see some meat-eating plants. Take bladderworts, a kind of such plant, for
example. They appear so small and grow in a quiet pond. "But these are the
fastest known killers of the plant kingdom, able to capture a small insect in 1/50 of a second using a trap door!"
Once the trap door closes on the
victim, the enzymes (酶）similar to those in the human stomach slowly digest the insert.
When dinner is over, the plant opens the trap door and is ready to trap again.
Meat-eating plants grow mostly in wet
areas with soil that doesn't offer much food nutrition. In such conditions,
these amazing plants have developed insect traps to get their nutritional needs
over thousands of years. North America has more such plants than any other
continents.
Generally speaking, the traps may have
attractive appearance to fool the eye, like pitcher plants, which get their
name because they look like beautiful pitchers full of nectar (花蜜).
Hair-like growths along the pitcher
walls ensure that nothing can escape, and the digestive enzymes can get to
work. A tiny insect can be digested in a few hours, but a fly takes a couple of
days.
Some of these pitchers are large enough
to hold 7.5 liters. Meat-eating plants
only eat people in science fiction movies, but sometimes a bird or other small
animals will discover that a pitcher plant isn't a good place to get a drink.
9.From
Paragraph 1，we learn that bladderworts can__ .
A. kill an insect in a second B. digest a fly in a few hours
C. be found floating on a quiet lake D.
capture an insect in 1/50 of a second
10.If
the trap door of a meat-eating plant is closed, the plant is
A. fooling insects into taking a sip B. producing nectar
C. tempting insects to come close D.
enjoying a dinner
11.Meat-eating plants can grow
in wet and poor soil because they .
A. can get nutrition from animals B. don't need much food nutrition
C. can make the most of such conditions D.
have developed digestive enzymes
12.What can be captured by
meat-eating plants for food?
A. A child. B. A dog. C. A little bird. D. A little fish.

20【題文】BUKHANNON, West Virginia~~Two rescue teams slowly moved along a two—mile path on Monday night to the site
of a coal mine explosion that trapped 13 miners, who had not been heard from since the early morning
accident.
Meanwhile, at a nearby church, more
than 250 family members and friends
gathered, waiting for updates on the rescuers' progress.
The miners were trapped at about .6:30 and many families weren't
informed of the accident until about 10 a.m.~~more than three hours after it happened. "It's very
upsetting, but you've got to be patient, I guess," said John Helms, whose
brother, Terry, was trapped in the mine.
The trapped miners were about 260 fee underground and about 10,000 feet from the Sago Mine's
entrance, said Roger Nicholson, a lawyer from International Coal Group.
At a late night news conference,
Nicholson said one team had advanced about 4, 800 feet in the four hours since entering
the mine just before 6 p.m. Another team entered the mine about 30 minutes later.
He said the crew was very experienced,
with some members having worked underground for 30 to 35 years. The miners were equipped with
al>out one hour of breathable oxygen each. The company has not released the
names of the miners.
The teams test the air about every 500 feet, and have to disconnect the power
to the phones they use to communicate with the surface before doing that.
"We don't want to be electrifying anything if it's in an atmospfiere with
hurnahle gases," Kips said.
The cause of the explosion was not
immediately known. High levels of carbon monoxide ( 一氧化物) were discovered shortly after the
explosion, which delayed rescue efforts, but those levels have weakened since
then, authorities said.
25.According
to the passage, we ran infer that_ .
I. communication with the
trapped miners was cut off
J. the rescue started as soon
as the accident happened
K. the two rescue teams entered the mine
at the same time
L. all the miners who were
trapped underground were still alive
26.If
the first team advanced at an average speed, they could dig about______per hour.
A. 1,000 feet B. 1,200 feet C. 2,400 feet D.
4,800 feet
27.Where
ran the passage he seen?
A. Iii a magazine. B. In a science hook. C. On an advertisement. D. In a newspaper.

21【題文】
You wake up in the morning, the day is
beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you
say hello, and the drama starts. The person on tbe other end has a depressing
tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that
there is nothing to look forward to. Are you still in a wonderful mood?
Impossible!
Communieating with negative people can
wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating
long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs, but some
people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They
only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win
others' pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive
people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are
attracted. When the knife of a negative person is put in you, you have the
heavy feeling that, all in all, brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to
communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. In
this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels
good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but this is to lower
you to that same negative level and they won't feel ashamed of themselves about
that.
Negativity often affects happiness
without even being realized. The negative words of others at the start of the
day can be attached to you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you
feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay
positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.
31. Which of the following shows the
position where the miners were trapped? (E: entrance P: position where the miners were trapped)

purpose of Paragraph 1 is to____ .
A. make a comparison B. introduce a topic

33.How
can negative people have effect on us?
A. By influencing our
emotion. B. By telling us the nature of life.
C. By changing our way of thinking. D.
By comparing their attitude to life with ours.
34.Some negative people base
their happiness on —.
A. their pity for other people B. their respect for others '
C. building up a positive attitude D.
making other people unhappy 35.According to the passage, to reduce
negative people's influence on us, we are advised.
A. to change negative people's attitude to
life
B. to show our dissatisfaction to negative
people
C. to make negative people feel as hamed
of themselves
D. to communicate with negative people as
little as possible
