Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot(行李箱). Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.” Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape. Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and jumped out of the ditch.” His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch. 41. What is the best title for this newspaper article?ks5u A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet Salesman B. Car Boot Can Serve As The Best Escape Route C. Driver Escapes Through Car Boot D. The Driver Survived A Terrible Car Accident 42. Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?

Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam. C. Mr. Johnson’s car accident was partly due to the slippery road. D. Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat. 44. “Finally it gave” (Paragraph 4) means that _______. A. Luckily the door was torn away in the end B. At last the hammer went broken C. The lock came open after all his efforts D. The chance was lost at the last minute 45. It may be inferred from the passage that _______. A. the ditch was along a quiet country road B. the accident happened on a clear warm day C. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditch D. Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attended B You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment. Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls tool. 46. Stuntmen are those who ______. A. often dress up as actors B. prefer to lead dangerous lives C. often perform seemingly dangerous actions D. often fight each other for their lives 47. Stuntmen earn their living by ______. A. playing their dirty tricks B. selling their special skills C. jumping out of high windows D. jumping from fast moving trains 48. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______. A. he needs little protection B. he will be covered with a mattress C. his life is unprotected D. his safety is generally all right 49. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance? A. Strength. B. Exactness. C. Speed. D. Carefulness. 50. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman? A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman. B. The percentage of serious accidents is high. C. Parachutes must be of good quality. D. The cliff is too high. C To err(犯错误) is human. To blame the other guy is even more human. Common sense is not all that common. Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse? These three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature .To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this: “ To err is human, to forgive, divine(神圣的).” This saying mirrors an deal people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite --- find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity(成熟). Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Commonsense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine.Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.” And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary(直接推论)to that: if good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth? 51. According to the passage, which of the following seems the most human?
