Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment.The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds in her right leg,a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.

He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband's"quick and diligent actions".
Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds,which are easy to get infected because of bacteria on the teeth of the crocodile.

分析 本文主要讲述了一名男子从鳄鱼嘴中救下了自己的妻子,不过他的妻子还是受到了鳄鱼的袭击,需要留院治疗.

解答 28.细节题.B.根据文章第一段最后一句中"Norm Pethrick,a 36-year-old man in Australia's northern city Darwin,was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile's back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park …a local newspaper reported."可知这篇文章应是刊登在当地的一家报纸上的.故正确答案为B.
29.B 细节题.根据文章内容,Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (扑),locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater."可知在Ms Pethrick站在岸边的时候,那只咸水鳄扑了上来,咬住了他的腿,试图把他拖进水里.故正确答案为B.
30.B细节题.根据文章第四段对Ms Pethrick的伤情的描述可知The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds in her right leg,a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.,没提到Ms Pethrick的眼睛受伤,也没有提到发现鳄鱼牙齿,所以排除C.和D.她所受伤的是右腿的八处伤口,左腿的一处和手指上的一处.故排除A,正确答案为B.
31.D 主旨题.根据文章内容,主要讲述了一名男子不顾自身危险从鳄鱼嘴中救下了自己的妻子的故事,结合选项,故选D

8.The ninth week of SEAL(Sea,Air,Land) training is referred to as Hell Week.It is six days of no sleep,physical and mental suffering and one special day at the Mud Flats (泥沼)where you will sink into the mud.
It is on Wednesday of Hell Week that we came down to the mud flats and spend the next 15 hours keeping alive in the freezing-cold mud,the cold wind and the strong pressure from the instructors to give up.
As the sun began to set that Wednesday evening,my training class,having broken some of the rules,was ordered into the mud.We sank into the mud until only our heads could be seen.The instructors told us we could leave the mud if only five men would give up---just five men and we could get out of the cold.
Looking around the mud flat,it was clear that some of us were about to give up.It was still over eight hours till the sun came up---eight more hours of coldness.Our cries were so loud that it was hard to hear anything.And then,one voice began to fly through the night---one voice raised in song.
The song sounded terrible,but it was sung with great power.One voice became two,and two became three,and before long everyone in the class was singing.
We knew that if one man could rise above the suffering then others could as well.The instructors warned us of more time in the mud if we kept up the singing---but the singing went on and on.And somehow,the mud seemed a little warmer,the wind a little weaker and the morning not so far away.
If I have learned anything in my time traveling the world,it is the power of hope.The power can change the world by giving people hope.
So,if you want to change the world,start singing when you're up to your neck in mud.

51.What did the writer experience during Hell Week?C
A.He suffered sleeplessness for one day.
B.He was physically and mentally crazy.
C.He went through some hard tests.
D.He sank into the mud for the week.
52.Why did the class have the experience at the Mud Flat?A
A.Because it was one of the training courses.
B.Because the weather was terribly bad.
C.Because the instructors were strict with them.
D.Because they wanted to break the rules.
53.What did the class do when they were in the mud?D
A.Five of them gave up.
B.They cried all the time.
C.Someone sang from the beginning.
D.Everybody joined in the singing.
54.What is probably the author's job?B
A.A terrorist.B.A soldier.C.An instructor.D.A trainer.
55.What does the writer want to tell us?D
A.Singing helps change the world.
B.Singing solves problems in life.
C.People should help each other.
D.Hope helps pull through difficulties.

1.For many years,machines have been doing work that people once did,including some difficult jobs.Search and rescue operations in dangerous environments are often seen as the first areas that will employ high technology robots.But there is another area where they may soon take jobs traditionally held by human beings:the restaurant industry.

5.Online Communication
In an age when technology moves faster than most can keep up with,a small group of people still remain in the time of old-fashioned letter.Frankly speaking,I was once certain that traditional letters could never be replaced by other means of communication.
But a story about online communication changed my mind.
An old man,who suffered a lot from Parkinson's disease,was not able to talk clearly and could hardly write his name.Living totally alone,he managed to keep in touch with nearly all the members of his family.How did he achieve this?He clicked out words on his computer keyboard.
I,therefore,managed to get an E-mail box as soon as the opportunity came.My life changed.E-mail,and all online communication,is something truly different.It has capabilities that few other products can match.
E-mail is convenient.It takes less time with its fast speed and 24-hour connection.The slow postal service is no match.If you wouldn't want to have a face-to-face talk with your manager,you might talk with him through E-mail even if you are in the same office.
Naming all the good things about online communication is not easy.But wait.E-mail can be inconvenient.It can waste time and energy.
Just think what may happen when you take a short vacation and return to find your e-mail box filled with 200unread messages.You could easily spend half a day clearing  junk ads.
Then,online communication will keep us staying at our computer while it connects us to distant strangers.Once we throw ourselves into the machine,we may forget the human touches we once held so dear.I'm sure there is and always will be a place for the old-fashioned letter,phone call,and face-to-face meeting…even in the world of modern communication.
As I listen to the sound of the modem(调制解调器),I was excited at stepping out to the outside world but,at the same time,I sensed a loss of control over something valuable in my personal life.
41.What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word"junk"in paragraph7?A
A.old and useless               
B.New and useful
C.Short but valuable             
D.Long but clear
42.What caused the writer to become interested in E-mail and online communication?D
A.The sound of the modem.
B.His own illness.
C.The changing of his life.
D.A sick old man's experience.
43.What does the writer think of online communication?C
A.It should replace old-fashioned letters completely.
B.It is perfect and always does good to you.
C.It is extremely useful and convenient,but it may be inconvenient or even harmful.
D.It does more harm than good.
44.According to the writer,traditional means of communication will never disappear becauseB.
A.they are convenient and popular though they are slow
B.they help to keep the friendly relationship between people
C.most people cannot keep up with the development of technology
D.modern means of communication does too much harm
45.How did the sick old man keep in touch with his family members?A
A.With the help of his computer.
B.By writing letters with his pen.
C.By making telephone calls.
D.By visiting them regularly.

15.Cookies don't really matterAs I sat beside the window of our classroom that afternoon,my heart sank further with each passing car.This was a day I'd looked forward to for weeks:Miss Pace's fourth-grade,end-of-the-year party.
I had happily volunteered (主动推荐) my mother when Miss Pace looked for cookie (小甜饼) volunteers.Mom's chocolate chips were well-known,and I knew they'd be popular with my classmates.But two o'clock passed,and there was no sign of her.Most of the other mothers had already come and gone,dropping off their sweet offerings (礼物).
The three o'clock bell soon took me away from my thoughts ad I took my book bag from my desk.
I decided I would slam (摔) the front door,and refuse to return her hug.But when I arrived,she wasn't at home.I was lying face-down on my bed upstairs when I heard her come through the front door."Robbie,"she called out a bit urgently (急切地)."Where are you?"I could then hear her rushing anxiously from room to room,wondering where I could be.I remained silent.
Coming through the door,she said:"I'm so sorry,honey,"she said."I just forgot.I got busy and forgot."Then my mother did something completely unexpected.Sh began to laugh!How could she laugh at a time like this?I rolled over and faced her,ready to let her see my anger.But my mother wasn't laughing at all.She was crying."I let you down.I let my little boy down."I was moved by her tears.I tried to remember her kind words from times past when I'd skinned knees or cut myself,times when she knew just the right thing to say."It's okay,Mom.We didn't even need those cookies.There was plenty of stuff to eat.Don't cry.It's all right.Really."
We didn't say another word.We just held each other.When we came to the point where I would usually pull away (离开),I decided that,this time,I could hold on,perhaps,just a little bit longer.
31.As a child the author volunteered his mother becauseD.
A.he wanted to fit in at school        
B.Miss Pace liked cookies very much
C.he wanted to show off his mom to his classmates
D.he was proud of his mom's chocolate chips

A.he couldn't go to the party he had been looking forward to
B.his mother had refused to make chocolate chips for the party
C.his mother didn't turn up at the party as she had promised 
D.the cookies his mom made was not popular at the party
33.When the author returned home,B.
A.he was so angry that he slammed the front door
B.he was disappointed that he couldn't express his anger to his mother
C.he rushed from room to room looking for his mother
D.he was silent and refused to return his mother's hug
34.We can tell from the story thatA.
A.the author was a caring and thoughtful boy
