阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C或D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Alexander Fleming was born in Scotland in 1881. He left school when he was thirteen years old; for a few years he worked in a shipping company. When he was about twenty years old， an uncle died and left him some money.

At his elder brother's advice， he took an entrance examination for medical school. He passed brilliantly and joined St. Mary's Hospital in London. There he met Sir Almroth Wright and that meeting changed the course of his life. When he graduated， he joined Wright's laboratory staff instead of going into private practice as he had intended.

During the First World War， he served in the Royal Army Medical Corps and was shocked by what he saw in France. Hundreds of wounded soldiers， with bacteria crawling in their wounds， were brought to his hospital. But there was little he could do for them as the antiseptics in use then were not effective for deep wounds. He was horrified by the suffering and the numerous deaths， but Fleming was a determined man full of courage and he promised to discover something that would kill these bacteria and save lives.

After the war he continued his research. For years he toiled on; then in September 1928 he made one of the greatest discoveries of all time. He had been growing colonies of bacteria in flat， open dishes. A few days later he saw that mould had settled in one of the dishes. However， he did not throw away the dish; instead he examined it and saw that no bacteria grew near the mould. “Had the mould killed the bacteria？” he asked himself.

A chemical from the mould had done just that. Fleming later named this chemical penicillin. Thus one of the greatest achievements of man had taken place.

But penicillin was not immediately used—years were to pass before that happened. More knowledge about the drug was gained and in 1941 many people were successfully treated. Before long penicillin was produced on a large scale， and during the Second World War it helped save thousands of wounded soldiers.

1. What did Fleming do when he was around twenty years of age？

A. Worked in a shipping company.

B. Received some money from his uncle who had died.

C. Joined Wright's laboratory staff.

D. Served in the Royal Army Medical Corps.

2. During the First World War， Fleming was horrified by ____.

A. the lack of proper useful things in hospitals

B. the lack of antiseptics available for deep wounds

C. the suffering and numerous deaths of the soldiers brought to the hospital

D. the amount of bacteria crawling about in the wounds of the patients

3. What did Fleming decide to do according to the passage？

A. Discover penicillin for curing this disease.

B. Invent a new antiseptic.

C. Help lessen the suffering of the wounded.

D. Discover something that would kill the bacteria and save lives.

4. Which of the following titles BEST sums up the passage？

A. A Strange Chemical               B. Killing the Bacteria

C. Antiseptics                     D. The Discovery of Penicillin

Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you can find in any neighborhood， these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their houses.

One evening， Brownie's family noticed that Brownie hadn't returned home. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie didn't show up the next day， and， although they made their efforts to find him， by the next week he was still missing. Curiously， Spotty showed up at Brownie's house alone， barking and jumping. Busy with their own lives， they paid no attention to the nervous little neighbor dog.

Finally， one morning Spotty refused to take “no” for an answer. Ted， Brownie's owner， was continuously disturbed by the angry， determined little dog. Spotty followed Ted about， barking all the time， then darting toward a nearby empty lot and back， as if to say， “Follow me！ It's urgent！”

Eventually， Ted followed Spotty across the empty lot as Spotty stopped to race back and bark encouragingly. The little dog led the man to a deserted spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive， one of his legs crushed in a steel trap. Frightened， Ted now wished he had taken Spotty's earlier appeals （呼吁） seriously.

Then Ted noticed something. Spotty had done something else besides leading Brownie's human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog， Ted found some food remains of every meal. Brownie had been fed that week！ Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly， in the hope of keeping his friend alive. Spotty had actually stayed with Brownie to protect him from hunger and other dangers， and keep his spirits up.

Brownie's leg was carefully treated and he soon got well again. For many years thereafter the two families watched the faithful friends chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses.

5. At the very beginning， Ted paid little attention to Spotty because ____.

A. he was not free at the moment     B. he was sure Brownie would be OK

C. he didn't like Spotty at all       D. his missing dog made him sad

A. walking     B. shouting     C. rushing     D. looking

7. The BEST title for this passage might be ____.

A. Dogs in Love                 B. A Friend in Need

C. Humans & Dogs             D. Dogs Are Loyal

8. We can infer from the passage that ____.

A. humans and animals depend on each other for comfort

B. it's not right to hunt for animals in any neighborhood

C. Ted has to take better care of his beloved dog later on

D. Brownie would have died without Spotty's timely help

C

Would you know what to do if you were dropped in the middle of the woods （or desert， or mountains） with only the clothes on your back and—maybe—a knife？

If you're a living-city ape like me， you've likely shared this fear and wondered how you might make out without society's lifeline. Could you figure out how to build a shelter， find drinking water， something to eat and build a fire in the short time it would take nature to kill you？

Probably not without a little help. Lucky for you， help is a wilderness survival school away. As so-called primitive skills like making tools out of stone and making fire by friction are lost due to technological advancement， a number of schools around the country are keeping them alive and passing them on to new generations.

Some， like Tom Brown， Jr.'s Tracker School in the New Jersey Pine Barrens and the Maine Primitive Skills School， emphasize this ancient connection with nature， and teach their students not only how to survive in the wild， but how to live there.

Others， like the Pathfinder School in Ohio and the Mountain Shepherd School in Virginia， emphasize the survival way more heavily， focusing on the most important first 72 hours after getting lost or trapped， during which you have a high chance of rescue.

For our list， we picked 12 survival schools that cover a wide range of philosophies and skills. Learn how to survive the burning desert heat at Arizona-based Aboriginal Living Skills School; follow survival rules that are used to train the military at the Survival Training School of California and Ancient Pathways in Arizona; you can even take urban survival classes in the heart of Manhattan if you're worried about the next super-storm. Or， if you really want to go deep， take months-long wilderness survival courses at Jack Mountain Bushcraft School in the Maine North Woods or Anake Outdoor School in the Pacific Northwest.

Whichever you choose， you'll probably face the challenge of your life—and one that might save it， too.

9. What is the best title for the text？

A. Twelve Survival Schools.               B. One's Life Challenges.

C. Choice of Life Schools.                 D. Kinds of Wild Schools.

10. If you are more probably saved， you will attend ____.

A. Aboriginal Living Skills School         B. Maine Primitive Skills School

C. Anake Outdoor School               D. Mountain Shepherd School

11. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to？

A. Your school.     B. Your challenge.       C. Your life.     D. Your skill.

12. What can we infer from the text？

A. One's life matters when one is in trouble.

B. Survival skills matter when one faces danger.

C. Saving one's life counts when one is in danger.

D. Challenging life counts when one chooses school.

Born in Amsterdam to ethnically Chinese parents， Huihan Lie runs the company My China Roots in Beijing， which follows and discovers family histories and tries to put them in the environment of the time.

The alarm goes at 07：30. That's my girlfriend's fault， because she has to be in the office at

09：00—for me， a pretty early hour. So we basically wake up at the same time. I guess I get out bed around 08：00， do some wash， have breakfast， usually muesli.

Between 08：30 and 09：00 I walk to the other side of the apartment to my office. Every day is quite different， because my business is still in the start-up stage. But in general， I usually get onto the customer work as quickly as possible. We have six customers that we're working on now.

Technically， I'm a genealogist， someone who works to follow and discover family histories. However， my company， My China Roots， tries to explore beyond the names and the dates of the past. A major aim is to bring life to a person's descent （血統） by completing the more traditional genealogical research with a complete picture about the times and environments that made up that person's ancestors.

How were their ancestors' actions that had something to do with major events of world history such as the industrial revolution and China's century of humiliation？ But also， how did their ancestors live their daily lives？ What were their schools and their weddings like？

And， as my customers are mostly overseas Chinese， why did their ancestors choose to start a completely new life in an unknown world？

13. What is the company named from the passage？

_______________________

14. Why does the author study his family's history？

_______________________

15. Where was the author born？
