Robert Kohout, 39, was working outside his home last October when he heard a frightening n

oise. He turned round and saw Walter Graham’s car sinking into 8 feet of water of the swimming pool a little distance away from his yard.

Kohout immediately called to Graham’s wife, Evelyn, to telephone 911. Then he ran back to his house to get Terence Reif and Glenn Fajardo to help,who were at work inside the house. “There was no time for second thoughts,” said Reif，a farmer’ s son. “The only thing to do was to get in the pool.”

The car doors were locked. Graham,73, was unconscious (失去知觉)，and his Mercury was rapidly filling with water. Reif struggled to break the driver’ s side window with a hammer but had trouble getting it done underwater.

Finally—some four minutes after the car had fallen into the pool—the glass was broken. By then，Graham was floating at the top of the flooded passenger compartment (车厢).

The three men pulled Graham out through the broken glass. He wasn’ t breathing and his heart stopped beating,so they performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The rescue(急救)team arrived in no time. Doctors supplied him with advanced life support on the way to the hospital.

“ These people were getting to Graham through the glass，’’ said Dr. Jeff Messinger. “ All three acted without regard for their own safety. ’’Added Evelyn Graham，“They were truly angels(天使)watching over us.” Immediately after Robert found the car sinking into the pool, he ____.

A.jumped into the pool

B.shouted to let Evelyn call the rescue team

C.ran to the nearest telephone

D.rushed into Graham’s house to find his wife

What does the word “resuscitation” refer to in the story？A.A way of saving people who have stopped breathing

B.A way of helping people who have heart trouble

C.A way of saving people who have got drunk

D.A way of helping people who need water

第6题

Ian Thorpe was born in Paddington, Australia on 13th October 1982. His father, Ken, alwa

ys wanted him to be a cricketer. But when Ian overcame a childhood allergy to chlorine, his only dream was to join his sister Christine in the pool.

It’s easy to see why. His 1.95 metres, 96 kilos and size 54 feet give him an awesome presence in the water. It was his feet which brought him his first nickname, “Flipper”. He swims so fast that he seems to fly through the water. So how did it all start？

Thorpe made his first appearance in international competition at the age of 14. His greatest feat came only three years later when he won three gold medals at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. His success and popularity have done much to raise the profile of the sport.

Australia is a nation of water babies. 85% of its population live within 30 miles of the beach and its swimmers enjoy a pin-up status similar to footballers like David Beckham in the UK. In fact, for a time, Thorpe was Australia’s number one national hero. There were special Australian stamps to celebrate his victories in the Olympics. Now, there is even a fragrance called “Ian Thorpe for Men” and a range of men’s underwear.

But in spite of this superstar status, Ian has a friendly relationship with the media. He is happy to discuss his love of philosophy, grunge music, Japanese food, computer games and Armani clothes. However, not all media work is light-hearted. Since his retirement from professional swimming in 2006, he has founded his own charity called “Fountain for Youth”. This organisation fights to bring positive changes to children’s lives by improving health and education, especially for Aboriginal communities in Australia.

1.What did Thorpe’s father want Ian to be？

A、A flipper

B、A cricketer

C、A swimmer

2.What is Thorpe’s first nickname？

A、Ian

B、Fountain for Youth

C、Flipper

3.What did Ian win at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games？

A、Three gold medals

B、Three silver medals

C、Three bronze medals

4.Which of the following is to celebrate Ian’s victories in the Olympic？

A、A fragrance called “Ian Thorpe for Men”

B、Special Australian stamps

C、A range of men’s underwear

5.When did Thorpe withdraw from professional swimming？

A、In 1982

B、In 2000

C、In 2006

第7题

Rather than be burned to death in his blazing shell-torn Lancaster on a bombing raid o

ver Germany in 1944, Royal Air Force Gunnery Sergeant Nicholas Alkemade jumped from 18, 000 feet without a parachute (降落伞), calculating that this would be a quicker and less painful death.Unbelievably, he suffered only slight injuries. The last part of his 122-mile-per-hour fall was broken by the branches of young pine trees, thick springy undergrowth, and finally deep snow. "It was rather like bouncing on a trampoline, " he recalled.Sergeant Alkemade's experience is a dramatic rebuttal of the idea that people falling from great heights are dead before they hit the ground. Asphyxia, brought about by the speed of the fall, and heart failure through shock were thought to occur long before the final impact.The fallacy of this belief has been amply (充分地) demonstrated by free-fall parachutists who regularly drop several miles before opening their parachutes. In 1960 Capt. Joseph Kittinger jumped from a balloon in the United States and fell 16 miles before opening his parachute. He landed conscious and unhurt.

1.According to the passage, Nicholas Alkemade ____.

A、was a German officer during the Second World War

B、had often jumped from a height of about 18, 000 feet

C、was a British officer

D、calculated the height with a special instrument

2.Nicholas jumped out of his plane because ____.

A、he was a good parachutist

B、he would otherwise be burned to death

C、he wanted to become a hero

D、the Royal Air Force instructed him to do so

3.Nicholas's experience was ____.

A、only an experiment

B、just as he had expected it to be

C、something painful and quick

D、quite unimaginable

4.Which of the following in the passage was the name of Nicholas's plane？ ____

A、Lancaster

B、Gunnery

C、Trampoline

D、Asphyxia

5.The passage tells us that Capt. Joseph Kittinger ____.

A、served as a pilot during the Second World War

B、did not believe that people would die if they jumped from a plane without parachutes

C、made a successful free-fall land from a balloon

D、often forgot to open his parachute when jumping from a plane

Icy Microbes In ice that has sealed a salty Antarctic 1ake for more than 2，800 years，s

Icy Microbes

In ice that has sealed a salty Antarctic 1ake for more than 2，800 years，scientists have found frozen bacteria and algae that returned to 1ife after thawing．The research may help in the search for life on Mars．which is thought to have subsurface lakes of ice．

A research team led by Peter Doran of the University of minois at Chicago drilled through more than 39 feet ice to collect samples of bacteria and algae． When Doran’s team brought them back and warmed them up a bit，they sprang back to life．

Doran said the microbes have been age-dated at 2，800 years old，but even older microbes may 1ive deeper in the ice sheet sealing the lake， and in the briny water bel0W the ice． That deeper ice and the water itself will be cautiously sampled in a later expedition that will test techniques may one day be used on Mars．

Called Lake Vida，the 4.5-square-kilometer body is one of a series of lakes located in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica，some 2，200 kilometers due south of New Zealand．This lake has been known since the 1 950s，hut people ignored it because they thought it was just a big block of ice．While at the site for other research in the l 990s，Doran and his colleagues sent radar signals into the clear ice covering the lake and were surprised to find that 62 feet below there was a pool of liquid water that was about seven times more salty than seawater．

That prompted the researchers to return in 1996 with equipment to drill a hole down to within a few feet of the water laver． At the bottom of this hole，researchers harvested specimens of algae and bacteria．

The searchers will return in 2004 equipped with instruments that are sterilized． They will then drill through the full 62 feet of ice and sample some of the briny water from the lake for analysis．The water specimen will be cultured to see if it contains life． Specimens from the water are expected to be even older than the life forms extracted from the ice covering．
