Patti Page, the top-selling female artist of the 1950s with more than 100 million records sold, died on January 2nd, 2013, when she was 85. She was one of the most beloved singers of the post-war era. Take her Tennessee Waltz for example, it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit.Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, a small town near Tulsa, Page originally dreamed of a career in commercial art. Her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15-minute programme.At the age of 20, Page was discovered by big-band leader Jack Rael, who quit his job to become her manager. In 1948, she signed her first recording contract with Mercury Records and two years later enjoyed her first hit record.

And then, there was Doggie in the Window. The creative tune was a huge hit, but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics(歌词), the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s.Throughout the 1950s, Patti Page made regular appearances on television variety shows and in 1957 she was chosen to host the musical programme, The Big Record. The following year, Page appeared in her own CBS television series, The Patti Page Show.

The 30 miles of steep roads that snake through the mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers‘ hands sweat. But Andersen, a 46-year-old father of four, wasn‘t expecting any trouble on the road last New Year‘s Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nine-year-old daughter Mia, four-year-old son Baylor, and nine-year-old neighbour Kenya. Andersen had driven through the Canyon hundreds of times over the years. The weather was fine,but the higher they drove, the more slippery the roads became. Rounding a sharp U-turn at mile marker 473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes. In an instant, the car was sliding at 25 miles per hour towards the shoulder of the highway, then rolling down a steep ten-foot dam towards the extremely cold Logan River. As it hit the water, the car tipped towards the passenger side, hesitated, and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river. There was no time to tell the kids what to do. The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the upside-down car was filled with water. “It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater,” remembers Andersen, a soft-spoken product development manager. “You‘re thinking, is this how it‘s all going to end?”Having lost all sense of direction, Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids. Mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldn‘t find her. I thought,“If I don‘t get out, maybe none of us are going to get out.” Andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface. That’s when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. One after another, they raced down into the water. Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father, “Who else is in the car?” Andersen says respectfully, “It was like the sight of angels.”41. What might be the main reason for the car accident?A.The sharp U-turn.B.The steep dam.C.The sudden brake.D.A truck hitting the car. 42. Andersen didn‘t expect any trouble on the road because ________.A.he was familiar with the roadB.he was good at drivingC.his hands didn‘t have sweatD.the weather was fine43.

Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.Stay calm when in troubleB.Drive rounding a U-turnC.Miracle rescue from an icy riverD.Mystery of the Bear River MountainsC
Scientists have not found any signs of life on Mars yet, but they say a robotic vehicle called “Curiosity” is helping them learn a lot about the planet’s history and climate.Curiosity landed on Mars in August 2012 after travelling through space for more than eight months. It was sent to Mars by scientists from NASA in the United States.Curiosity is about the size of a car and has six wheels. It also has a robotic arm, cameras, and instruments that allow it to examine things it finds on the surface. Then it sends the information back to the earth.Curiosity‘s main task is to find out if anything could live on Mars, either now or in the past. On Nov. 2, NASA scientists held a press conference to discuss what Curiosity had found in its first two months on Mars.Curiosity has found soil that is similar to the sand formed by volcanoes on the earth. Scientists say that studying the minerals in Martian soil will help them understand what conditions were like on the planet in the past. Curiosity also found smooth stones like the ones found on river beds and seashores on the earth, where their rough edges have been worn down by water. Mars is very cold and dry now, but scientists say the smooth stones tell them that a river used to run through the place where they were found.Curiosity has been testing the atmosphere around Mars for a type of gas called methane (甲烷), but so far it has not found any. On the earth, most methane is produced by plants or animals. Methane on Mars might indicate that some type of tiny plants or animals lived there.Curiosity is the fourth robotic vehicle to be sent to Mars. It will continue to explore the planet for about two years.46. Which of the following descriptions about Curiosity is TRUE?A.It landed on Mars in January 2012.B.It is small in size and has four arms.C.It took over eight months to arrive in Mars.D.It was sent to Mars by scientists from Russia.47. According to the information sent back by Curiosity, scientists believe that________.A.there‘s no air on MarsB.Mars is warm and wet nowC.the soil on Mars is richD.there used to be water on Mars48. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refers to“________”.A.smooth stonesB.riversC.robotic vehiclesD.volcanoes49. We know from the sixth paragraph that________.A.some tiny animals once lived on MarsB.there are no plants or animals on Mars nowC.the atmosphere around Mars is full of methaneD.Curiosity is designed to test the atmosphere around the earth50. What is the main idea of the passage?A.Humans benefit a lot by going to Mars.B.Scientists will stop the research on Mars soon.C.It is possible to build an earth-like environment on Mars.D.A robotic vehicle helps scientists get useful information from Mars.D
If you are afraid of the dark, it’s not a big deal. It’s perfectly normal to feel afraid. After all, animals do, too. “Fear matters,” says Karen Warkentin, an ecologist. “It‘s a good thing,” she adds, “because fear makes you do things that keep you alive.”Like kids,many animals experience fear and they respond to the feeling in variety of ways. A frightened turtle pulls its head and legs inside its shell. A small fish will swim away when a big, hungry fish approaches.Some animals respond to fear in ways you might not expect. The first example is that the fear of being eaten can scare some frogs right out of their eggs. Warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying red-eyed tree frogs in Costa Rica.In this species, female frogs attach jellylike clumps (果冻一样的块状物) of their eggs to the undersides of leaves. The leaves hang on branches that dangle (悬挂) over ponds. After they hatch from the eggs, the tadpoles (蝌蚪) then fall into the water, where they eventually grow into adult frogs.Tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatching. If they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack, however, they can hatch up to 2 days ahead of the schedule. As the snakes are unable to swim, by falling into the water early, the tadpoles can escape.If hatching early helps protect red-eyed tree frogs from snakes, you might wonder why their eggs don‘t always hatch sooner. It turns out that hatching early brings its own danger. Once tadpoles land in the water, hungry fish and other animals like to eat them, too. Staying in their eggs for full 6 days, then, allows frog embryos (胚胎) to grow big and strong. This extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water.51. It can be inferred from the passage that fears________.A.help animals grow bigger and strongerB.are less common among young animalsC.help animals move a lot to fit the environmentD.are more or less important in order for animals to survive52. We are told in the passage that tree frogs________.A.face danger both inside their eggs and in the waterB.will grow fast if they fall into the water laterC.are surprisingly clever when inside their eggsD.stay in their eggs longer if they are frightened53. Why do the tadpoles hatch up to 2 days ahead of the schedule?Because________.A.they like falling into the water earlyB.they want to grow into adult frogsC.they sense a hungry snake is about to attackD.frog embryos can grow strong54. What is the best title of the passage?A.What is fear?B.Why do we feel afraid?C.You feel afraid, and animals do, too.D.Fear is a good thing.55. What do you think would be discussed in the following paragraph?A.Further explanations as to why tree frogs hatch ahead of the schedule.B.How the unborn frogs know when a snake is about to attack them.C.Another example of animals that respond to fear in an unexpected way.D.How tree frogs improve their chances of survival before falling into the water.
