Last year, three experienced storm chasers were killed in a tornado in the US, but despite this the number of people going in search of tornadoes is growing. What drives them to take risks and look for danger? The man at the wheel glanced in the back view mirror and then slowly turned aroun d. “Don’t put this in your program,” he said. His wife in the passenger seat laughed. He lowered the window and killed the engine. The wind rushed in from surrounding wheat field.
Then, from behind, the crunch (碎裂声) of footsteps approached on the dirt road. It was a moment peace after hours of speedy racing through the American grassland. There had been excited shouts about where a tornado might form and how we would be there if it did. We were hot on the trail. Now, everyone was very cool. A Kansas state trooper (骑警) introduced himself through the window. There was pretended surprise when he said how fast we had been going. Really? Wow, sorry.
Val Cator handed over his driver’s license. His wife, Amy, took the registration out of the glove box. Val
explained they were storm chasers with Channel 9 News out of Oklahoma City—though it was hardly necessary. Their huge black truck has lightning bolts (闪光球) and Storm Tracker 9 painted on the sides.
Val pointed to the radar on the laptop open next to him and said those red and green dots suggested a tornado could form this afternoon. The state trooper was apathetic. “I’ve got that in my car too,” he said. People here keep a close eye on the weather. It’s part of living in the tornado alley. Every year some town or o ther is blown off the map by tornadoes that can reach 300 miles an hour.
Val and Amy arc just two of hundreds of possibly thousands of trackers who speed around with computers and cameras hoping to catch one of these beautiful, deadly storms. I’d joined th em to learn why the number of trackers keeps growing. Why are people taking real risks 一beyond the steady diet of rest-stop junk food 一to watch weather?
Last year, a tornado killed three of the most experienced storm chasers. It picked up, crumpled (使变破) and threw their car as easily as you would a piece of paper. Dozens of other chasers were hurt in the same storm. They were crowded on a few roads when the tornado suddenly expanded and ate them. Val and Amy were there that day but still, in their words, chase aggressively.
41. Why did everyone calm down?
A. Because a trooper stopped their car.
B. Because tornado would come.
C. Because they reached grassland
D. Because they were cool on the trail.
42. What could show Val Castor’s profession?
A. H is driver’s license.
B. The glove box.
C. The signs painted on his truck’s sides.
D. The news of Oklahoma City.
43. What does the underlined world “apathetic” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Excited.
B. Understandable.
C. Untouched.
D. Curious.
44. Which word can be used to describe Val and Amy?
A. Hardworking.
B. Adventurous.
C. Generous.
D. Humorous.
45. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A program about storm chasers
B. The possible danger that storm chasers face
C. The most violent tornado in the US
D. The people who want to be close to tornadoes
C
The insects live underwater, wondering what exists above. One of them offers to climb up and report back. He makes his way up, breaks^ the surface and feels the sun’s warmth. Suddenly, he becomes a beautiful four-winged
creature 一a dragonfly (蜻蜓). He tries to return home, but discovers he cannot dive beneath the water. He’s unable to tell anyone about the wonders of the world above.
The story wouldn’t leave ray mind. I pulled my jacket tighter against the late-October wind, hurrying from my office to the drugstore, where I intended to buy a card. Occasionally I glanced up into the clear blue sky for those beautiful wings. It was just a story in a book that a friend had put in m y hands after my daughter’s death four months earlier, I thought.
Kari was only 27 years old when she died in an accident. She occupied my every waking thought. Whenever the phone rang early in the rooming, I remembered Kari, who always called me on her way to work In the middle of the night, tired but unable to sleep, I used the way her shoulders shook when she broke into that infectious laughter just to feel closer to her.
Rounding the comer to the drugstore, I thought of the dragonfly pin Kari always wore on her winter coat Maybe that pin was one of the reasons the story stayed with me.
A few weeks after Kari’s death, her husband, Donnie, came to visit. We would put on forced smiles and tried to say the right things. We took a boat out on the lake. Then I looked over at Donnie. A dragonfly with light blue wings was flying just above his shoulder. All summer, I saw dragonflies wherever I went, not just by the lake. In my backyard, a dragonfly landed lightly on my wrist. A group of dragonflies even surrounded my car on my drive home from work one evening.
Now it had been weeks since I’d seen one. Dragonflies couldn’t survive the harsh (严酷的) winter.
Think of the good times, everyone kept telling me. She wouldn’t want to see you so sad. But how could I not be sad?
I reached the drugstore and opened the door. The cashier glanced in my dilution. That’s when I froze, unable to take another stop. Everywhere I looked were beautiful wings of dragonflies.
“A late shipment of summer items,” the cashier said.
They were n’t late for me. The timing was perfect.

Everyone always talks about the number 13 and millions of people hate to use it. However, nobody has ever bothered to ask if there was a common number that thousands loved enough. But thanks to author Alex Bellos, it appears that such a number does exist and it is number seven!
Bellos who has written many books about mathematics and spends much time talking about the subject at schools, universities and festivals, is always asked about his favorite number. Though the question always annoyed him, he realized that it was because many people feel an emotional attachment to numbers. Curious to see if that was indeed the case, Bellos decided to set up an online poll and ask the people worldwide to pick a number and then make their choice - like it, love it or be unmoved by it.
To his surprise, about 44,000 people took the voluntary online survey. This was enough data for the author to draw conclusions. Though almost every number was chosen, 7 appeared to be the most popular —10% of the people that took the survey, picked it as their favorite number. He believes that 7 is the natural choice for them for many reasons. There is the cultural significance as evidenced by the seven ancient wonders of the world, seven days in a week, seven circles of the universe and last but not least, seven basic musical notes.
While these are all significant, Alex thinks that the biggest reason is its numerical characteristics. It is the only number between 1 and 10 that cannot be multiplied or divided by any other number within that group. For example, multiply 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 by two and the answer can be found within the group. Though 6, 8 and 10 can’t claim the
same, they can be divided by two, while 9 can be divided by 3! Seven is the only number that stands untouchable!
The other numbers ranking the top ten in order of popularity are 一3, 8, 4, 5, 13, 9, 6, 2 & 11. And what’s the least popular number? According to Alex, that honor goes to 110.
51. What motivated Alex Bellos to set up an online poll?
A. His interest in mathematics.
B. His being asked about his favorite number.
C. His curiosity to find the truth.
D. His emotional attachment to numbers.
52. What do we know about die online poll done by Alex?
A. About 4400 people chose seven as their favorite number.
B. Participants had four choices when they chose their numbers.
C. Alex was surprised to find every number was chosen by people.
D. About half of the participant made their choice on a voluntary basis.
53. Alex thinks the main reason for the popularity of number 7 is that .
A. it always stands for seven days in a week
B. people are deeply influenced by traditional culture
C. it reminds people of seven basic musical notes
D. it has special characteristics in terms of number.
54. Which of the following numbers is the least popular among the participants according to the passage?
A. Number two.
B. Number three.
C. Number four.
D. Number five.
55. The passage mainly tells us something about .
A. Alex’s further study in mathematic problems
B. the most popular number all over the world
C. people’s natural choices about lucky numbers
D. a scientific fact connected with people’s interest

He was taken to hospital where doctors found he had suffered three superficial bites and about 30 teeth marks as well as scratches from the alligator’s claws. Doctors found a tooth in one of the little boy’s wounds, which he wanted to make use of. “I want to put it on a necklace so that I can tell all my friends to warn them. And I will inhibit them from swimming in the lake.” he said.
