It was about 10:15 p.m. Janice Esposito got off the train at the Bellport, New York, got into her car and began driving home. She had traveled the route（线路） so many times that she almost drove automatically: a left onto Station Road, then a left on Montauk Highway, and then—bang! Out of nowhere a car crashed into Esposito’s car, pushing her backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. Injured but mostly shocked by the crash and by the airbags that popped up, she got stuck in the vehicle.
As it happened, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for bed when he heard the crash coming from not far outside his bedroom window. A volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, 64, never stopped to think. He grabbed a flashlight and rushed out. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he said. “We’re always on duty. ”
The first car he came upon 2,000 feet from his front yard, was the one that had hit Esposito. Once making sure the driver was OK, he looked around and spotted Esposito's car straddling (骑跨) the railroad tracks. And then he heard a bell sound, which signaled a coming train. DiPinto rushed to Esposito’s car and hit on the driver’s side window. She just looked at him, “I don’t know where I am,” she said.
“You’re on the railroad tracks,” DiPinto yelled. “We have to get you off right now!” The train was traveling at a speed of 65 miles per hour toward them. The driver’s door couldn’t be opened due to the crash, so DiPinto ran to the passenger side. He threw open the door, pushed aside the airbags, seized Esposito’s arms, and pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until he finally got her out and walked her to safety as quickly as he could. Within seconds, the train crashed into the car. “It was like a Hollywood movie, ” DiPinto told reporters the next day.
“Last night, ” said Greg Miglino Chief of the South Country Ambulance, “the hero arrived in pajamas(睡衣), not in a fire truck. ”
24. What can we know about the accident from the first paragraph?
A. Esposito was not familiar with the road. B. Esposito was driving too fast.
C. The crash was violent. D. It should have been avoided.
25. Why was the situation so dangerous?
A. Esposito was badly injured. B. Esposito was to be hit by the train.
C. Esposito was firmly stuck in the car. D. The driver’s door couldn’t be opened.
26. What does Greg Miglino really mean?
A. He is praising DiPinto’s heroic action.
B. DiPinto didn’t act as professionally.
C. A firefighter should be ready any time.
D.Fire trucks are not enough for emergencies.
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A Terrible Accident. B. A Brave Firefighter.
C. A Broken Car. D. A Narrow Escape.
C
Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, but the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. It’s a major problem in many societies.
That’s why intergenerational（代与代间的）programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world, supported by UNESCO and other local and international organizations. There are examples of successful initiatives all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.
One successful scheme（方案） in France is combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting, gardening and caring for the pets which the residents are encouraged to keep. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle (依偎). There are trips out and birthday parties too.
The advantages are enormous for everyone involved. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention and respond well because someone has time for them. They also learn that old people are not different or frightening in any way. And of course, they see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children surround around and they take more interest in their appearance too. And the staff are happy because they see an improvement in the physical and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.
28．What is the social problem talked about in Paragraph 1?
A．Caring for children B．A generation gap.
C．The support for the aged. D．Intergenerational contact.
29．What do the programmes mentioned in Paragraph 2 aim to do?
A．Make the old take care of children.
B．Increase contact between the old and the young.
C．Encourage the young to care for the old.
D．Help the old people learn new things.
30．What is special about the scheme in France?
A．Helping children face misfortunes bravely.
B．Hiring old people as child - care workers.
C．Joining an elderly house with a kindergarten.
D．Using children to accompany the old.
31．In which aspect（方面）does the scheme benefit the old?
A．They live a healthier life. B．It builds up their strength.
C．It creates a family atmosphere. D．They are closer to their relatives.
D
Would you give your Social Security Number to the clerk at the grocery store? Of course not, right? Yet, if you’re like most people, you wouldn’t hesitate to give out a different, but equally important number to the same person.
Experts now say that your cellphone number may be more pivotal than any other personal information in the eyes of spammers (垃圾邮件发送者) and identity thieves. In other words, instead of handing it out, you should guard that cellphone number with your life.
Today, your cellphone number will likely be with you for a very long time. That means if spammers get your cellphone number, it will be much harder to get rid of them. It also means that over the years, your cellphone number will be linked to a lot of personal information—from contact lists to bank card numbers, all information that hackers (黑客) would love to get their hands on.
A few years ago, German security researcher Karsten Nohl showed in an experiment what he could obtain using only a person’s cellphone number. California Congressman Ted Lieu was given a new cellphone for a day and Nohl was given that cellphone number. Using just that number, Nohl was able to find Lieu’s location and movements throughout Los Angeles, read his emails and text messages, and record phone calls between Lieu and his staff. And Nohl did all of this from his office in Berlin using just a cellphone number.
Still think it’s a good idea to post your number on a noticeboard?
It’s safe to assume that Nohl is an expert when it comes to hacking, but even the ordinary thief can use your cellphone number to cause harm to you. When you sign up for an account online, you usually provide your email address and a password. But if you forget that password, many of these companies will send you a password retrieval code (检索码) via your cellphone. Let’s say you post something for sale online and you include your name, email, and cellphone number. You’ve now given a potential thief everything he needs to hack into any of your online accounts. Therefore, it just makes sense to protect yourself by guarding that number as closely as you would guard any other personal information.

32．What does the underlined word “pivotal” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A．Important. B．Familiar. C．Accessible. D．Manageable.
33．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A．Why people need to take care of their cellphone numbers.
B．Why people seldom change their cellphone numbers.
C．How to protect our personal information.
D．How to get rid of spammers.
34．What did Karsten Nohl’s experiment intend to prove?
A．Nohl is a real expert in hacking.
B．Lieu’s new cellphone has powerful functions.
C. Hacking information via cellphone numbers is not hard.．
D．It’s necessary to fight against hackers.
35．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．It’s a good idea to sell something online.
B．It’s necessary to register several accounts online.
C．It’s risky to post your cellphone numbers online.
D．It’s common for people to forget their passwords.
