he is recovering.Officers are continuing to get in touch with the next of relatives of the dead men and enquiries are ongoing.All men were believed to be from England.”Mark Jones,of the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team,described the lightning strike as a freak accident,and something he had not been called out to in 30 years of service.The walking group Ramblers Cymru said that while incidents

from any rainfall.Lightning can strike the same place repeatedly especially tall,pointed,isolated objects.”“If there is no shelter you should keep moving.And if you become the tallest object,crouch(蹲)in the open twice as far away from the nearest pointed object as it is tall.Make yourself as small as possible,stay on your toes and keep your heels together,as it will allow electricity to go up one foot,through the heels and back into the ground through the other.”1、What can we learn about the victims of the incident?ABoth of the injured men are recovering slowly,BThe

every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars,driving trucks,building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas.Americans wont live without cars!Most Americans would find it hard to think what life could look like without a car.However,some have realized the serious problem of the air pollution that is caused by the car.The polluted air becomes poisonous(有毒)and dangerous to health.One way to get rid of the polluted car is to build a car that does not pollute.Thats what several of the large car factories have been trying to do.But to build a clean car is easier said than done.Progress in this field(领域)has been slow.Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else.Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars.Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.To prevent the world from being polluted by car,well have to make some changes in the way many of us live.Americans,for example,have to cut down on the number of their total cars.They are encouraged to travel and to go to work by bicycle.Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.But this change doesnt come easily.A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down.Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment(失业).Although cars have led us to a better life,they have also brought us new problems.1、How many ways to get rid of air pollution are suggested in this article by the writer?AOne BTwo CThree DFour 2、Large car factories

number of cars must be cut down CCars bring us nothing but serious problems DCars bring us not only a better life but serious problems 24（8 分）When we see a person in trouble,the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand.But what if we see an animal in trouble,does the same rule apply?This question was raised after a group of penguins were saved from an icy gully（峡谷）in Antarctica.It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties.The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young.They built a slope（斜坡）so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.The case has taken the international media by storm.Viewers watching this film let out a sigh of relief.“Im so glad.I understand not taking action directly,but a helping hand isnt bothering,right?”viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.However,others think human interference（干涉）is unnatural.“You cant have sunshine throughout your life.To have done anything else would only make matters worse,”said the shows creator David Attenborough,according to The Times.In this case,however,Mike Gunton,the executive producer of the series,said that this was a one-off situation.“There were no animals going to suffer by interfering.You werent touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this.they had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope,”he told the BBC Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen,wildlife photographer for National Geographic.He told Metro,“If its ever a predator（捕食者）situation,no matter how gut-wrenching,you stay out of the way.Even when youre watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear.”“Theres no rule book in those situations.You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you,”Will Lawson,the shows director,told Daily Mail.1、What has led to a heated media discussion?APeoples various remarks on penguins.BThe rescue of penguins from a gully.CSome penguins sufferings in a

Not 25（10 分）With smart technology increasingly influencing all aspects of our lives,it is only a matter of time before someone invents“smart”shoesones that can be made based on personal needs.Called“ShiftWear”,the sneakers are the brainchild of a team of businessmen,and engineers led by New York-based designer David Coel.The adaptable shoes can be customized by using a smart phone app.Shoe owners will have the option of selecting a design from a variety of HD pattern by famous artists or creating one themselves.The companys founders imagine a marketplace where artists can not only share but also sell their designs to others.Despite being electronic,the designs are clearly visible even in the brightest sunlight.Whats even cooler is that by switching on a backlight,users can even show off their designs in the dark!According to Coel,the sneakers will keep their charge“forever”if only images are displayed.Though they will need periodic recharging,active users have nothing to worry about.Thats because the shoes are equipped with special walk-n-charge technology that powers the shoeswith every step.Inactive users also have options of charging the sneakers without using wires.The bottom part of the shoes is covered with Kevler fibers,a kind of strong material,reducing normal wear and tear.Even better?They are completely waterproof(not let water through)and can even be thrown into an ordinary laundry machine for a quick wash!The company predicts that the shoes will range the price from$150 to$1000 depending on the size of the E-panels where the designs are displayed.This is not the first time that electronics and shoes have combined.Lithuania-based iShuh Technology has come up with a similar concept that connects e-reader panels to a smart phone app via the Bluetooth.Whether these smart shoes become as popular as our smart devices remains to be seen,though they surely are attractive.1、What can we know about the smart shoes from the text?AThe electronic designs can not be seen clearly at night.BThe designers make sure every pair of sneakers are unique.CThe bottom of the shoes can last longer due to special materials.DThe shoes have to be washed by hand to protect the electronics.2、What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?AHow the sneakers are charged.BHow the sneakers can work well.CWhat images the sneakers show.DWhat technology the sneakers carry.3、The varied prices of the sneakers mainly depend on _.Athe length of the shoes Bthe size of their e-panels Cthe designers of the shoes Dthe materials of their bottoms 4、How does the author feel about the sneakers future market?ANegative.BAnxious.CUncertain.DConfident.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 26（30 分）I spent last summer
