The realization that my daughters were playing in Nancy's house, just one-half block away, paralyzed（麻痹） my legs, making me unable to move when I neared the end of our driveway. Dense, black smoke was rising from behind the Sycamore Maple trees on the other side of the street and was enveloping three houses, making them barely visible. Nancy's house was one of them. I tried to call out for my daughters hoping to see them run safely to my arms, but my voice was also stuck - stuck in my throat with no intention of coming out. There I stood, helpless, paralyzed and silenced by fear, unable to protect the two little girls I loved more than even I had realized. Although trapped in a body that couldn't move or speak, I could still hear. I could hear other mothers anxiously calling their children. I could hear a frightening silence that covered the neighborhood instead of the usual happy voices of children. And, finally, I could hear the alarm of the fire engine. As the alarm announced, "We're on our way," it instantly dissolved the crazy glue that had held my feet to the cement and it unlocked the soundproof box that had silenced my voice. I was free to make sure my daughters were safe. As I continued down the driveway, two little girls, my two little girls, ran toward me from across the street. They had come home to tell me about the fire in the garage next to Nancy's house. Not only did my feet and voice work now, but my eyes were also in good working order and had no trouble producing tears.24. Why was the author stuck to her driveway? A.

The courage to protect her daughters.26. What does the author suggest at the end of the story? A. She burst into tears of relief and happiness. B. She was really thankful to see her girls saved. C. She was too excited to believe what she saw. D. She overcame her fear and fully recovered,27. What is the best title for the text?A. Love in FireB. Stopped in SilenceC. A Narrow EscapeD. The Price of Fear CAt the entrance to one of the ruined temples of Petra in Jordan, there is an inscription（题字） in the soft red rock. It looks as if it has been there for centuries. It could have been carved by one of King Herod's soldiers, when they were imprisoned in the town in 40 BC. But closer examination reveals that it is not so ancient after all. It reads: Shane and Wendy from Sydney were here. April 16th 1996,The ruins of Petra were discovered in 1810 by a Swiss explorer, and a recent report has just concluded that 66they are in grave danger of being destroyed by the unstoppable march of tourism". More than 4,000 tourists a day pour into Petra's rocky tombs. They wear away the soft red sandstone to powder and (occasionally!) scratch their names into the rock.It is not just Petra that is under threat of destruction. With more than 60,000 visitors to Venice each day, cruise ships that have made Venice tourists' top destination bring one of the most significant dangers to the city, leading to tides that are further damaging the foundation of the Venetian structures.The prehistoric cave paintings at Lascaux in France were being slowly ruined by the breath and bacteria from 200,000 visitors a year. The caves have now been closed to the public and a replica(复制品） has been built, Will there be more replicas like in Lascaux? There already are. Heritage theme parks are springing up everywhere. Many of the great cities of Europe are finding that their historic centers are fast becoming theme parks, filled with clicking cameras and whirring camcorders, abandoned by all local residents except for the souvenir sellers.Until recently, we all believed that travel broadened the mind, but now many believe the exact opposite: "Modem travel narrows the mind".28. What do we know about the ruins of Petra? A. There was an ancient inscription at the entrance. B. King Herod was kept there as a prisoner in 40 BC. C. They have been popular tourist attractions for over 200 years. D. Tourism is responsible for the damage being made to them.29. Which solution to Venice's problem would the author agree with? A. Make regulations to control tourists' behavior. B. Reduce the number of cruise ships in the rivers. C. Build solid dams along the rivers in case of flood. D. Promote tourism and redecorate traditional structures.30. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4? A. Cave paintings at Lascaux in France have been ruined. B. Replicas have to be made to protect cultural heritage, C. Many historic centers are too crowded with tourists. D. Theme parks keep historic places away from destruction.31. What's the author's attitude towards tourism? A. Critical B. Supportive C. Objective D. UnclearDMany people hate wet, sticky August, but to some, it's an especially bitter time. A new working paper finds that, March and August are the months in which divorce filings peak.For the paper, the University of Washington's Brian Serafini and Julie Brines analyzed the most recent years of divorce filings in Washington and drew their conclusion: divorce rises sharply in March and August. The result is supported by some nation-wide, anecdotal evidence. Online searches for "divorce" and "child custody"（抚养权） dramatically grow early in the year, peaking in March, they point out.The authors guess that unhappily married couples schedule their divorce filings around both the winter holidays and Valentine's Day, as well as summer vacations. (More Americans vacation m July than any other month.)There are a few explanations why people might time their marital dissolutions this way, It might just be too difficult to announce a divorce around family-oriented Christmas time, especially if there are kids involved, so many couples weigh the decision to divorce around the new year and progress from there. February is a period in which couples tend to look around for representation on legal sites. And by March, they're prepared to file for divorce.But the authors think the more likely reason is that people decide their differences are irreconcilable right after a big trip. It could be that people don't want to ruin a family getaway, or that vacations are so stressful that they drive the already-dissatisfied to divorce. ("I told you to pack your suitcase last night; now we've missed the train!")Then there's the "broken promise" theory. “6People are discontent with their marriages, they look at vacation as an opportunity to give it one last shot, and what they were hoping would happen didn't occur,” explained Brines, an associate professor of sociology.It's not you; in other words, it's your failure to print the boarding passes.32. Which of the following can support Brian and Julie's conclusion? A. The divorce rate rises sharply in March and August. B. They carried out online surveys and analyzed the results. C. More people search for key words about divorce early in the year. D. Conflicts in marriage tend to get more serious during Christmas.33. According to Brian and Julie, why does divorce rise in March and August? A. People need time to decide and prepare before they divorce. B. Many couples want to have a new beginning in a new year. C. Kids are less involved in winter and summer vacations. D. Couples see more marital problems in their vacation trips.34. What does the underlined word "irreconcilable" in paragraph 5 mean? A. Unlikely to be settled.B. Unable to be mentioned. C. Put aside for a while. D. Stressed too much.35. What does the writer want to express in the last paragraph?A. It may lead to divorce if one doesn't print 'boarding passes. B. Unimportant things like boarding passes cannot cause divorce. C. Considering a trip as the solution to marital problems is not wise. D. Couples should talk about their marriage sincerely before a trip.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Children and adults need to develop six important skills to succeed in the modem global economy.
