A
Two hero housemates have told how they pulled their neighbor from a smokefilled kitchen.
Rhys Lomax, 29, and Chris Clark, 25, of South Street, charged into the 41yearold man's home after they heard his smoke alarm at around 1：55 am on Sunday.
Prison officer Mr Lomax said, “I had just picked Chris up from the airport and we were arriving back at our house. Then I heard this beeping and at first I thought it was the car because we'd left the headlights on. But then I realized it was my neighbor's house and we could see smoke everywhere. We charged into the house and found him lying on the oven with black smoke coming from it. We dragged him out and put him on the main road and then called the fire department and ambulance.”
Firefighters put out the fire, which left the kitchen damaged and the oven completely destroyed.
People attempted to take the 41yearold man to hospital but he refused medical attention.
Mr. Lomax added, “If it had been another couple of minutes I think he would have gone up in flames. He was a very lucky man. I was bringing Chris back from the airport because otherwise I don't think we would have heard the alarm.”
Afterwards, fire officers praised the pair, saying they had potentially saved the man's life.
But Mr. Lomax played it down and added, “I am a prison officer so I have dealt with things like that before.”
And Mr. Clark, a shop manager, said “If there had been flames we might have thought twice but we just covered our mouths and went in.”
21.What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Two people were praised by the fire officials for their brave deed.
B. A man refused to be taken to hospital after being saved from his house.
C. Two people bravely saved their neighbor from a kitchen full of smoke.
D. A lucky man was rescued by the firefighters with the help of his neighbors.
22. The man was thought lucky because ________.
A. the firefighters arrived for rescue in time
B. the neighbors gave timely first aid to the man
C. the kitchen didn't catch fire at that time
D. it happened when his neighbors were coming from the airport
23. What can we learn from the passage?
A. There was some food in the oven.
B. The man in the house went to the hospital at last.
C. Mr. Lomax thought what they did was not particularly important.
D. The man in the house was drunk and did not know anything.
24. Why did the neighbors go into the kitchen without hesitation?
A. Because the man in the kitchen was in great danger.
B. Because the man in the kitchen was asking for help.
C. Because though the kitchen was full of smoke there was no fire.
D. Because they thought it was not very dangerous and they could put out the fire.

B
JOHANNESBURG—They say cats have nine lives. Now a Chinese toad (蟾蜍) has joined that club of clever survivors.
South Africans are shocked at the endurance of a toad that got trapped in a cargo shipment from China to Cape Town, after jumping into a porcelain (瓷器) candlestick (烛台) that was made there. South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature, fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild.
But the toad got a last-minute pardon. Mango Airlines, a South African airline, transported the toad on Friday to Johannesburg for delivery to an animal shelter, after officials decided to find a way to let the toad live. The two-hour fight was a breeze compared to the trip from China, a long way of many weeks and thousands of kilometers across the Indian Ocean.
Airline spokesman Hein Kaiser said the toad got “first-class treatment”, sitting in a transparent plastic container with escort Brett Glasby, an animal welfare inspector. There was even a ceremony, in which the toad’s boarding pass was handed to Glasby.
“He was the star of the show on the flight,” Kaiser said of the amphibious(两栖的) passenger. “I think every passenger stopped to have a look.”
On landing in Johannesburg, the toad was brought out of its container for a celebrity-style photo shoot. Observers said the brown toad seemed like a cool customer. It belongs to the Asian Toad species, which breeds during the monsoon(季风) season. It is believed to have survived the trip from China by hardening its skin to prevent it from drying out, and also by slowing its breathing and heart rate—methods that help the species survive in times of drought.
“We’ve had snakes in imported wood and scorpions(蝎子) in fruit. We were called because the toad was right inside the candlestick, and we had to break it to get it out”, Glasby, the inspector, told The Star, a South African newspaper.
25. If the toad is released into the wild, _______.
A. it will make the locals feel shocked B. it might harm the native species
C. it will lose its life in the wild D. it might flee into another country
26. The toad was able to arrive in South Africa alive _______.
A. because it escaped all attacks and hunts
B. because it used to stop its breath in winter
C. because it formed hard skin to protect itself
D. because it was lucky to be given a chance
27. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. sometimes animal are transported accidentally
B. no one has seen such a big toad in Africa
C. a candlestick is the best place for a toad
D. droughts make toads live longer

C
For families on vacation, a playground provides a welcome break from sightseeing. It can also provide a glimpse into the local culture, from the setup of the park to the ways families interact. Here are the designs that live up to that challenge.
◇Fruit and Scent Park, Stockholm
Is there a picky eater on a steady diet of chicken fingers and cheese? Perhaps a trip to Sweden’s Fruit and Scent Park will change his or her culinary (烹饪的) tune. This playground features a banana slide, an orange seesaw, pear huts, a watermelon jungle gym and a pair of cherry swings, all designed by public artist Johan Ferner Strom. Now，who can say you can’t play with your food?
◇Nishi Rokugo Park, Tokyo
Located between central Tokyo and the city of Kawasaki, Nishi Rokugo combines recycled rubber tires (橡胶轮胎) with traditional playground equipment. In total, more than 3,000 tires of different sizes are used to create tunnels, bridges, tall sculptures for climbing and, of course, tire swings. There’s little shade, so you can visit here in the early morning or late afternoon for the most comfortable weather, and be sure to wear your play clothes.
◇Bicentennial Children’s Park, Santiago, Chile
The Bicentennial Children’s playground in Metropolitan Park was built to celebrate 200 years of Chilean independence and improve the lives of Santiago citizens. Dozens of slides are built into the slope, creating a design completely complementary (补充的)of the surrounding landscape. Fountains offer some relief from the sun, and ample seating gives parents a place to relax.
28. What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. Programs designed for culture exchange.
B. Theme parks attracting most tourists.
C. Creative sites for family to hang out.
D. Top museums around the world.
29. What can be learned about Fruit and Scent Park?
A. It is located in Tokyo, Japan. B. Its design was led by some artists.
C. It is aimed at balancing people’s diet. D. Its facilities are modeled after fruits.

30. When visiting Nishi Rokugo Park, you’d better _______.
A. wear thick protective clothes B. avoid moments when it’s hot
C. take umbrellas and raincoats D. watch out for the equipment
31. Why does the author recommend Bicentennial Children’s Park
A. It becomes part of the surroundings.
B. It was built to improve people’s lives.
C. It amuses kids and helps parents get relaxed.
D. It provides slides for both children and adults.
D
There is something very wrong with the system of values in a society that has only unkind terms like nerd and geek for the intellectually (智力) curious and academically (学术) serious.
We all know what a nerd is: someone who wears thick glasses and ugly clothes; someone who knows all the answers to the chemistry or math homework but can never get a date on a Saturday night. And a geek, according to Webster’s New World Dictionary, is a street performer who shocks the public by biting off heads of live chickens. It is an obvious fact about our language and our culture that someone devoted to the pursuit of knowledge is compared to such a strange person.
Even at a famous educational institution like Harvard, anti-intellectualism(反智主义)is widespread: Many students are ashamed to admit how much they study. The same thing happens in US primary and high schools.
Enough is enough. The anti-intellectual values that have spread throughout American society must be fought. There are very few countries in the world where anti-intellectualism runs as high in popular culture as it does in the US. In most industrialized nations, especially in East Asia, a kid who studies hard is praised. But in America, average professional ballplayers are much more respected and better paid than professors of the best universities.
How can a country where typical parents are ashamed of their children studying mathematics instead of going dancing be expected to compete in the technology race with Japan? How long can America remain a world-class power if we constantly put social skills and physical strength over academic achievement and intellectual ability?
Do we really expect to stay afloat largely by bringing in our scientists and intellectuals from abroad, as we have done for a major portion of this century without making an effort to also cultivate (培养) a pro-intellectual (利智的) culture at home?
32. Why does the author mention Webster’s New World Dictionary in Paragraph 2?
A. To convince readers with reference from an authoritative dictionary.
B. To prove that words the author uses in this article are accurate.
C. To show the unfairness of calling intelligent people geeks.
D. To show that vocabulary use is always up-to-date.
33. What can be learned from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4?
A. The US government doesn’t mean to spend much money on education.
B. Anti-intellectualism is not popular in industrialized countries in East Asia.
C. Few students work hard for their grade in famous universities like Harvard.
D. Professors earn more than professional basketball players on average in the US.
34. What is probably the author’s attitude towards the present society’s anti-intellectual values?
A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Concerned. D. Objective.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What is anti-intellectualism?
B. Why does society avoid nerds?
C. America needs its nerds.
D. Don’t laugh at nerds.
