AJanice Esposito was driving home as usual. However, out of nowhere a car hit Esposito’s minivan, pushing her backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She sat in the minivan, bruised but mostly just stunned by the impact and by the vehicle’s airbags.As it happens, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for bed. He was crawling under the covers when he heard the loud sound of metal on metal and shattering glass. A volunteer firefighter, DiPinto, 64, never stopped to think. He grabbed a flashlight and, still dressed in his pajamas, ran out of the door.2,000 feet from his front yard, DiPinto spotted Esposito’s car straddling the railroad tracks. And then he heard a sound: the bells signaling an on-coming train.DiPinto dashed to Esposito’s car and banged on the driver's side window. She just looked at him, her eyes unfocused. Without any hesitation, he pulled the handle, but the door was jammed shut. The train was traveling at 65 miles per hour toward them. DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the door. “Please, God, don’t let her be trapped”, he thought. He pushed aside the airbags, grabbed Esposito’s arms, and pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until he could help her out and speed-walk her to safety. Within six seconds, he estimates, the train crushed the minivan. “It was like a Hollywood movie,” DiPinto told reporters the next day.21. What does the word “straddling” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. hitting.B. struggling.C. crossing.D. driving.22. We can learn from the passage that .A. The door on the driver’s side was thrown open at lastB. The firefighter Pete DiPinto was on duty when he heard the loud soundC. Janice Esposito was badly injured in the accident and lost her consciousnessD. The woman had been pulled out before the train crushed her minivan23. Which of the following words can best describe Pete DiPinto?A. Courageous and calm.B. Enthusiastic and kind.C. Ambitious and professional.D. Dutiful and generous.BThe victims were carried in one by one, their paws and fur burned, suffering from dehydration (脱水) and fear. Their caretakers bandaged their wounds, wrapped them and laid them in baskets with the only thing that was familiar --- the leaves of a eucalyptus (按树) tree.As catastrophic fires have burned more than two million acres in Australia, dozens of koalas have been rescued from burning trees and ashen ground. The animals, already threatened as a species before these latest fires destroyed an essential habitat, are being treated in rescue centers, and at least one private home, along the country’s east coast.The difficult situation of the koala --- a national symbol of Australia --- has raised questions among conservationists and scientists about what it will take to preserve biodiversity in a country increasingly exposed to intense fire, extreme heat and water scarcity, and which already has among the highest rates of species extinction in the world.While koalas have evolved to exist alongside wildfires, the animals are facing new threats not just from climate change but also from human development, which has dislocated local populations, damaging their ability to survive fires. In some regions, scientists say, koalas’ numbers have declined by up to 80 percent, though it is difficult to know how many remain across Australia.“We have these unique animals not found anywhere else on this planet, and we’re killing them,” said Cheyne Flanagan, the clinical director of the Koala Hospital, the only facility of its kind in the world. “This is a big wake-up call.”24. What happened to koalas after the catastrophic fires in Australia?A. The koalas were taken good care of after being rescued.B. Most of koalas have been rescued from burning trees.C. The victims only suffered from severe burns and a lack of water.D. Koalas have been listed among the highest rates of species extinction.25. Which of the following threats koalas face are not mentioned in the passage?A. illegal hunting.B. fires in the wild.C. human development.D. climate change.26. What’s the author’s attitude towards the situation of Koala?A. negative.B. supportive.C. indifferent.D. worried.27. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Climate Changes --- A Big Wake-up CallB. Koala --- A National Symbol of AustraliaC. Catastrophic Wildfires Burning in AustraliaD. Saving the Fire Victims Who Cannot FleeCOn March 21 in early 1969, 23-year-old Jane Mixer was shot in the head. Mixer’s murder stayed unsolved for the next four decades, until the police announced in 2005 they were charging a retired nurse, Gary Leiterman, with her death. While re-examining the case, investigators found Leiterman’s DNA on Mixer’s socks and discovered DNA belonging to another man, John Ruelas, in a sample of blood from Mixer’s hand. It could have been impossible to tell which one was responsible for her death. However, police got lucky: Ruelas was only 4 years old in 1969 and Leiterman therefore was sentenced for the first-degree murder.All three samples had obviously become contaminated (污染) in the lab, which unfortunately occurs sometimes when procedures aren’t properly followed. But that isn’t the only problem with using DNA to solve crimes. DNA also can degrade (分解) quickly under strong sunlight. Or there might not be enough DNA to collect. DNA is still the gold standard, but contrary to what we see on TV, nothing is perfect.That’s why Hart and his team began their work with hair analysis. They believe this new method will improve the DNA testing within a decade. Early results are satisfying, according to a published report of their work. “The protein content of hair is changing with people’s genetic makeup,” explains Hart. There are more than 300 different proteins in hair and by looking at these proteins, researchers can set up an individual's protein profile. And another advantage of hair analysis: Proteins, in hair and elsewhere, are a lot stabler than DNA and can last for a longer time.Although the hair analysis is not yet reliable enough for daily identifications, hair is an easy-to-get source of material which is always left behind. With the improvement in the accuracy, the hair analysis should be able to serve as a check on possible DNA errors.28. What did the investigators find out when they re-examined the Mixer’s case?A. The hair of the killer.B. Leiterman’s socks in Mixer’s room.C. The DNA of a retired nurse and of another man John Ruelas.D. The murderer’s blood on Mixer’s hands.29. The author quotes the case of Jane Mixer to illustrate that .A. the DNA testing is the perfect way to find out the criminals.B. Mixer’s murder is an unsolved case left in the 20th century.C. there are some problems with the use of DNA to solve crimes.D. The police are very lucky to find out the criminal responsible for the Mixer’s death.30. What are the advantages of hair analysis over the DNA testing?A. Proteins in the hair can last longer as they will not degrade under strong sunlight.B. There are more kinds of proteins in hair than in DNA.C. Hair analysis is more reliable than DNA testing for daily identifications.D. Hair can be collected more easily and proteins in it are much more stable than DNA.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
