Visualize Your Goal

The Catalina Island is twenty-one miles away from the coast of California, and many people have taken the challenge to swim across it.

A

Crocodile Attack

“All I could see was two sets of red eyes below me,” said Dave Gatty, an Australian farmer who spent seven days up a tree in remote bush land to escape crocodiles.

Gatty, 52, said he was forced to take such drastic action after he accidentally went into a crocodile-infested area of Queensland. He only had two meat sandwiches to keep him going, as crocodiles moved beneath his tree each night until his rescue.  

Gatty said he decided it was safer to hold out for a rescue team than try to make a run for it. His problems began after he fell off his horse while out in the northern Australia outback. Dazed and bleeding, he climbed back on his horse and hoped it would lead him home. It was only when he regained his senses he realized that he had been taken into crocodile-infested area.

“I had to get off the horse and I fell straight into a crocodile nest,” he told reporters.

“That frightened me. I couldn’t go back, it was too far and too dangerous, so I headed to the nearest high ground and stayed there, hoping someone would come and find me before the crocs did.”

Gatty explained how each night two crocodiles would sit at the bottom of the tree staring at him. Although Gatty’s two sandwiches ran out after three days, he was able to get running water during the day and knew rescuers were looking for him as he could see helicopters in the air above his tree.

“If I hadn’t seen the crocs circling me, and if I hadn’t fallen into the croc nest, I would have made a push for it. But I knew the safest thing was for me to sit and wait,” he said. A chocolate bar, given to him by rescuers after being moved to safety by using a winch(卷扬机), “was like a gourmet meal,” he said.

56. Gaddy felt _______ when he found himself trapped in the crocodile- infested area.

A. panicked but optimistic          B. nervous and hopeless

C. upset and regretful              D. frightened but calm

57. Which of the following did not help Gatty survive the accident?

   A. Sandwiches                   B. Running water

C. Chocolates                    D. Staying up in a tree

58. What’s the right order of the events related to the accident?

a. Gaddy climbed up onto his horse unconscious.

b. Gaddy climbed up a tree and stayed there.

c. Gaddy was moved by a winch to safety.

d. Gaddy fell off his horse accidentally.

e. Gaddy found himself in a crocodile-infested area.

   A. a, d, e, c, b      B. d, a, e, b, c      C. a, d, e, b, c      D. d, e, a, b, c

59. The article can be classified as _________.

A specially-adapted sensory helmet, developed by researchers at the University of Sheffield, could provide fire-fighters operating in challenging conditions with vital clues about their surroundings. The helmet is fitted with a number of ultrasound(超声波) sensors that are used to detect the distances between the helmet and nearby walls or other obstacles. These signals are transmitted to vibration pads (振动板) that are attached to the inside of the helmet, touching the wearer's forehead. Rescue workers, such as fire-fighters, who might be working in dark conditions or in buildings filled with smoke, will be able to use the signals to find walls and other obstacles that could help guide them through unfamiliar environments.

It is expected that a lightweight version of the technology could also be useful to people with visual damage, acting as an additional ‘sense’ to guide users or to help them avoid hazards.

Professor Tony Prescott of the University of Sheffield and director of SCentRo said, “When a firefighter is responding to an emergency situation, he will be using his eyes and ears to make sense of his environment, trying to make out objects in a smoke-filled room, for example, or straining to hear sounds from people who might need rescuing. We found that in these circumstances it was difficult to process additional information through these senses. Using the sense of touch, however, we were able to deliver additional information effectively.”

The team also found that the helmet was the ideal place to locate the vibrating pads because, although the fingertips might seem a more obvious choice, stimuli (刺激物) delivered to the wearers’ forehead enabled them to respond more rapidly to the signals, and would also leave their hands free for other tasks.

The helmet was developed using a Rosenbauer helmet donated by Northfire Company Limited and was produced following a two-year research project, funded by the E&Phs Research Council. South Yorkshire Fire Service have also assisted, providing advice during the development period as well as access to their training facility. The next step is to find a commercial partner interested in further developing the helmet.

63. Which word can be used to complete the following process of how the sensory helmet works?

                    

 

A. light   B. heat            C. vibration D. weight

64. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A. Sensory helmet helps firefighters detect more.

B. Sensory helmet protects firefighters from danger.

C. Sensory helmet has great marketing potential.

D. Sensory helmet frees firefighters for more things.

65. Who provided the fund for the sensory helmet research project?

A. Northfire Company Limited       B. the E&Phs Research Council

C. South Yorkshire Fire Service      D. the University of Sheffield

66. The author writes the passage mainly to ________.

A. argue that a sensory helmet is better than a traditional one

B. call people’s attention to the firefighters’ working conditions

C. prove technological development improves the rescue efficiency

D. introduce a sensory helmet mainly used for emergency service

My lame grandmother was dancing. I stood in the living room doorway, absolutely shocked. She turned around and saw me standing in the doorway with her sorrowful eyes. “So...” I asked, “How did your leg recover?”

  “To tell you the truth—my legs have been well all my life,” she said.

“But I don't understand!” I said, “Your dancing career... I mean... You pretended all these years?”

      “Very much so. And for a very good reason.”

      “What reason?”

      “Your grandfather.”

      “You mean he told you not to dance?”

      “No, this was my choice. I am sure I would have lost him forty years earlier if I had continued dancing. I weighed fame and love against each other and love won.”

      She thought for a while and then continued. “We were talking about engagement when your grandfather had to go to war. It was the most horrible day of my life when he left. I was so afraid of losing him, the only way I could stay positive was to dance. I put all my energy and time into practicing—and I became very good. Critics praised me, the public loved me, but all I could feel was the ache in my heart, not knowing whether the love of my life would ever return. Then I went home and read and re-read his letters until I fell asleep. He always ended his letters with ‘You are my joy. I love you with my life.’ and after that he wrote his name. And then one day a letter came. There were only three sentences: ‘I have lost my leg. I am no longer a whole man and now give you back your freedom. It is best you forget about me.’”

    “I made my decision there and then. I took my leave, and traveled away from the city. When I returned I had bought myself a cane(拐杖）and wrapped my leg tightly with bandages. I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely recover again. My dancing days were over. No one suspected the story—I had learned to limp (跛行）convincingly before I returned home. And I made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a reporter I knew well. Then I traveled to the hospital. They had pushed your grandfather outside in his wheelchair. There was a cane on the ground by his wheelchair. I took a deep breath, leaned on my cane and limped to him.”

   “I limped a few steps toward him and showed him what I'd taken out of my pocket. ‘Now show me you are still a man,’ I said, ‘I won't ask again.’ He bent to take his cane from the ground and 

struggled out of that wheelchair. I could see he had not done it before, because he almost fell on his face, having only one leg. But I was not going to help. And so he managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life.”

   “What did you show him?” I had to know. Grandma looked at me. “Two engagement rings, of course. I had bought them the day after he left for the war and I was not going to waste them on any other man.”

67. Why did Grandma travel away from the city when she heard her lover had lost a leg?

  A. To make her disability seem more believable.

  B. To go to another city to buy a cane for herself.

  C. To go to the hospital to pay a visit to her lover.

  D. To ask a reporter to spread the news of her disability

68. What can we infer from the passage?

  A. The public and critics demanded that she should dance again.

  B. Grandma became poor and had to make her living by dancing.

  C. Grandma began to recover her dancing after her husband died.

  D. Grandfather’s recovered health encouraged Grandma to dance.

69. What was the reason for Grandma to put all her efforts and energy into dancing practice?

  A. She wanted to be the best dancer in the world of her time. 

  B. She hoped her hard work could reduce her heartache.

  C. She expected to make more money by dancing better.

  D. She thought she should make the best of her dancing talent.

4. What is the best title of the passage?

  A. Love Recovers Her Talent

  B. Two Disabled Old Couple

  C. A Disabled Woman Dancer

  D. A Secret Covered by Love

Roommates Conflicts 

Identical twins Katie and Sarah Monahan arrived at Pennsylvania’s Gettysburg College last year determined to strike out on independent paths. Although the 18-year-old sisters had requested rooms in different dorms, the housing office placed them on the eighth floor of the same building, across the hall from each other. While Katie got along well with her roommate, Sarah was miserable. She and her roommate silently warred over matters ranging from when the lights should be turned off to how the furniture should be arranged. Finally, they divided the room in two and gave up on oral communication, communicating primarily through short notes. 

During this time, Sarah kept running across the hall to seek comfort from Katie. Before long, the two wanted to live together again. Sarah’s roommate eventually agreed to move out. “From the first night we lived together again, we felt so comfortable,” says Sarah. “We felt like we were back home.”

Sarah’s ability to solve her dilemma by rooming with her identical twin is unusual, but the conflict she faced is not. Despite extensive efforts by many schools to make good roommate matches, unsatisfactory outcomes are common. 

Differences in preferred life styles and personalities contribute to the conflict. One roommate is always cold, while the other never wants to turn up the furnace, even though the thermometer says it’s minus five outside. One person likes quiet, while the other person spends two hours a day practicing the trumpet, or turns up his sound system to the point where the whole room vibrates. 

Most roommate conflicts spring from such small, annoying differences rather than from grand disputes over abstract philosophical principles. However, if not dealt with carefully, they will eventually tear roommates apart. Roommate conflicts do harm to students’ psychological health and cause depression. Worse still, depression in college roommates is often passed from one person to another. In extreme cases, roommate conflict can lead to serious violence, as it did at Harvard last spring: One student killed her roommate before committing suicide. Many schools have started conflict resolution programs to calm tensions that otherwise can build up like a volcano preparing to explode, ultimately resulting in physical violence. Some colleges have resorted to “roommate contracts” that all new students have to sign after attending a seminar on roommate relations. The contracts cover terms like acceptable hours for study and sleep, a policy for use of each other’s possessions, etc. 

Other schools have attended to the problem by using computerized matching, a process that nevertheless remains more of a guessing game than a science. Students are classified and distributed based on their responses to housing form questions about smoking tolerance, preferred hours of study and sleep, and self-described tendencies toward tidiness or disorder. However, parents sometimes weaken the process by taking the forms and filling in false and wishful data about their children habits, especially on the smoking questions. The matching process is also complicated by a philosophical debate among housing managers concerning the flavor of university life: “Do you put together people who are similar – or different, so they can learn about each other?” A cartoon sums up the way many students feel the process works: Surrounded by a mass of papers, a housing worker picks up two selection forms and exclaims, “Likes chess, likes football; they’re perfect together!”
