22、 per month. The most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move.I felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. It was really hard at the beginning, she recalled.During most of her junior school years, Li went to classes only once a mon

29、d girl-Li Qinmei D. Li Qinmeis successful study lifeB A Swedish man was dug out alive after being snowed in his car on a forest track for two months with no food, police and local media reported on Saturday. The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday, February17, too weak to say more t
30、han a few words. He was found not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a ruined car until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside. The man, who was lying in the back seat in a sleeping bag, said he had been in the car since
31、December 19. “Just incredible that hes alive considering that he had no food, but also since its been really cold for some time after Christmas.” a rescue team member told regional daily Vasterbottens- Kuriren, which broke the news. Ebbe Nyberg, duty officer at the Umea police, said police saw no re
32、ason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time. “We would not make up something like this. The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us.” he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren. Umea University Hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a
33、 rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances. Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow, the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的）state, physician Stefan Branth
34、told Vasterbottens-Kuriren. “A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that.” he said. “He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up.” “Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unkn

38、urvival DA Successful Rescue (C)Easter (复活节) is still a great day for worship, candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies. And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The culprit is climate change, and some researchers fo
39、und that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US, Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer - it lives on the islands! - but it is alrea
40、dy severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely. The snowshoe hare, on the other
41、 hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators (捕食者) . As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies are being left i
42、n white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife
43、 Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down. American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 7-8 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains wes
44、t of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate (迁移) to higher ground - but they already occupy the mountaintops. They cant go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up.
45、The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middl
46、e. Scientists are concerned about their populations. Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development. Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin py
47、gmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed. All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter. 49. The w
48、ord “culprit” (Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to_ A. criminal B. judge C. victim D. producer 50. According to the passage, some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators because they_ A. are exposed to more skillful hunters B. have moved to habitats with fewer plants C. havent adapted th
49、emselves to climate change D. cant change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring51. The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that A. both are affected by less snow B. both are affected by rising sea levels C. neither can find enough food D. neither can migrate to highe
50、r places52. Which best describes the writers tone in the passage? A. Approving. B. Concerned. C. Enthusiastic. D. Doubtful.DIn many cultures white is often associated with something positive. A white-collar job, for instance, is the kind of job many people look for, working with your brain and not y
51、our hands.White has a clean and pure image. That is why doctors, dentists, and nurses usually wear white uniforms. Babies are dressed in white at baptisms（洗礼）and brides wear white wedding gowns at weddings. White in these cases is the symbol of innocence or purity. Sometimes white is used in express
52、ions that are not good. “Whitewash” is one such expression. At first, “whitewash” meant to paint over something with white paint to make it look better. However, it means something different today: to hide or to cover up mistakes or failures.A “white elephant” is another example of white used in a n
53、egative way. In ancient Thailand, a white elephant was regarded as a sacred animal, but it was very expensive to keep. The kings of those days presented a white elephant to the people they wanted to ruin. Once they received this holy, royal animal as a gift, they were not allowed to sell or kill it.
54、 Today, a “white elephant” means something that is big, useless, and unwanted. In America, when people want to get rid of their furniture or clothes, they often have a “white elephant sale”.53. The text is mainly about_. A. the meanings of white in English culture B. the history of some English idio
55、ms C. some interesting customs in English culture D. some useful English words and expressions54. In which statement does “white” have a negative meaning?A. A boy is dressed in white at baptisms. B. A bride wears a white wedding gown.C. A man whitewashes his crime. D. A girl finds a white collar job
56、.55. From the text we can learn that _. A. a white-elephant sale is useful to the poor B. the white color is important in our daily life C. a white-collar job used to be easy to get D. expressions with white have different meanings56. The author develops the text mainly by _.A. analyzing its cause a
57、nd effect B. providing typical examplesC. comparing different ideasD. following the time order EThe drug store was closing for the night and Alfred Higgins was about to go home when his new boss approached him.“Empty your pockets please, Alfred,” Sam Carr demanded in a firm voice.Alfred pretended to
58、 be shocked but he knew hed been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.“Im disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.“Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. Its the first time Ive ever done such a thing,” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the o
59、ld mans sympathy.Mr Carrs brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Lets see what the police have to say. But first Ill call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like
60、 a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.“Hes been steali
61、ng from the store,” the old man coolly replied.Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carrs arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”The womans calm and gentle manner disarmed
62、the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I dont want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and Ill let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higginss hand.Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in sile
63、nce. When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mothers actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.Hi
64、s mothers face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worr
