A

The US soldier Jessica Lynch, who was rescued by the US Special Forces after being captured in Iraq, is to marry. Private (二等兵) Lynch, 20, will marry Army Sergeant (陆军军士) Ruben Contreras next June, her mother said.

The couple met two years ago in a fast­food restaurant in Texas, where both of them were stationed.

Private Lynch was captured along with six other US soldiers when Iraqi troops attacked her convoy near the city of Nasiriya in March.

The exact date and location of the wedding are being kept a secret.

Contreras' mother, Lisa Latorre, told a newspaper in her hometown, that she did not want the event to become a media focus.

“I want this to be a real wedding for them, not just a bunch of media storming

in，” Ms Latorre said. “I'm looking forward to them finally being able to be together and happy. They shall get that chance. They've been through so much.”

However, Ms Latorre did tell one detail: Private Lynch was already looking for a wedding dress.

Jessica Lynch's dramatic rescue in Iraq — after a local lawyer reportedly informed the US forces as to her whereabouts — became one of the most celebrated and controversial events of the war.

Praised as a heroine by many, others blamed her rescue as a staged event used by Pentagon (五角大楼) officials as a propaganda (宣传) exercise.

Private Lynch, who is still recovering from wounds received during the war and who reportedly has no memory of the incident, recently signed a $1，000，000 book deal to publish an account of her capture.

The book, whose name is I Am a Soldier, Too: The Jessica Lynch Story, is out this month.

1．What's Jessica Lynch?

A．She's a professional American writer. B．She's a famous writer and soldier.

C．She's an American reporter in the US­Iraq War. D．She's serving in the American army.

2．Why didn't Contreras' mother want the wedding of her son and Lynch to be a media focus?

A．Because her daughter­in­law was a married woman.

B．Because she wished her son and Lynch to have a really quiet wedding. C．Because her daugher­in­law didn't want to be famous.

D．Because her son and Lynch hadn't made good preparations for their wedding. 3．Everything about Lynch's marriage was being kept a secret EXCEPT the wedding________．

A．date B．place C．dress D．ring

4．Which is the CORRECT order of the things that happened in the report?

a．Iraqi troops attacked the American convoy. b．Lynch was sent to the front in Iraq.

c．Lynch was going to marry and publish her book. d．Lynch and Contreras were both stationed in Texas. e．Lynch was wounded and caught.

f．Lynch's rescue became a famous event in the war. A．baefcd B．dbaefc C．bdaecf D．dbafec

B

Most respected scientists agree that we need to find another source of energy — and quickly. If we continue to burn oil and pump carbon into the atmosphere then the effects on global climate will lead to global disasters even before the oil disappears.

The British government has set a target of a 20 percent reduction in carbon emission by 2010. Central to this policy is the search for alternative, renewable forms of energy production — and this is where the serious disagreement among scientists begins.

Here, two people active in the debate about wind farms give their points of view. Simon Shearman

“First, a few facts about wind power. Wind is one of the cheapest of the new, renewable forms of energy. It is extremely safe — no member of the public has ever been injured at a wind farm. The shallow waters around Britain are the windiest in Europe — ideal locations for wind farms and, by 2010, up to ten percent of the electricity used in the UK could be produced by wind power. I find it annoying and frustrating that the biggest objection that opponents of wind farms can come up with is that the crisis of global warming is real and something must be done urgently？”

Alice Evans

“The simple, obvious fact is that wind turbines cannot generate electricity if the wind is too light or too strong and it often is. Many scientists estimate that wind turbines generally produce only 30 percent of their capacity. This is not a reliable enough supply to enable us to close down conventional power stations. In fact, wind power

can't keep up with the growth of the demand for electricity, let alone replace other sources of power.”

It's a topic that is causing heated debate around the country — but one we must address before it's too late — before the oil runs out.

5．Many scientists have different opinions on the search for a renewable energy because________．

A．they think fossil fuels are everlasting B．British government's target is not realistic C．they are not sure in finding the clean and renewable energy

D．the technology is not advanced enough 6．We can learn from the passage that________．

A．there won't be a global disaster before the world runs out of oil B．the British government wants people to use 20 percent less oil by 2010 C．Alice Evans supports the idea of wind power

D．Simon Shearman thinks Britain a particularly suitable place for wind farms 7．If we want to generate electricity with turbines，________． A．a light wind will do

B．we cannot make full use of turbines C．a strong wind will do D．we'll have enough electricity

8．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Wind power is a good solution to energy crisis. B．We're experiencing the oil crisis now.

C．We should find alternative energy for oil as soon as possible. D．There is no need for us to worry about energy problem.

Ⅳ.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。詹森的报纸没有卖完，这让他离自己的愿望远了一步。另一个报童查德教给他卖报纸的“秘诀”，但是詹森没有采纳。最后，他的诚实让自己获得了高薪的工作机会。

1．解析：选D 根据第一段第一句中的“carrying some newspapers”和后文中的“carrying the papers ________ money”可知，这个男孩在卖“报纸(papers)”。虽然他很卖力，但是手中还有没卖出去的报纸。

2．解析：选B 根据上一句可知，他的报纸没有卖完。根据本句中的“His voice was almost gone”可知，这时候他几乎说不出话来了，内心应该很“沉重(heavy)”。open“开放的”；pure“纯洁的”；weak“虚弱的”。

3．解析：选A 根据第一段第二、三句可知，他没能卖出所有的报纸，因此也就赚不到多少钱，那么他带回家的就是剩余的报纸，“而不是(instead of)”钱。in return for“作为对……的回报”；regardless of“不管”；in exchange for“作为……的交换”。

4．解析：选D 根据第三段第二句中的“the cake he wanted to buy for his mother”可知，这个小男孩赚钱的目的之一是给妈妈买“蛋糕(cake)”。

5．解析：选B 根据第一段前三句可知，这个男孩没有把报纸都卖出去。结合本句中的“he thought of his failure”可知，这时候这个小男孩简直就要“崩溃(broke down)”了。give in“屈服”；get away“离开”；show up“出现”。

6．解析：选D 联系本空后面的“You must shout ...”可知，另外一个卖报纸的男孩在向詹森传授卖出所有报纸的“秘诀(secret)”。difficulty“困难”；process“过程”；goal“目标”。

7．解析：选B 根据上一句可知，另外一个报童查德给詹森出了一个主意，但是遭到了詹森的质疑。这里是转折关系，所以用连词but。

8．解析：选A 在传授“秘诀”的时候，查德告诉詹森在买报人看内容“之前(before)”就要跑掉，以免被发现撒谎。

9．解析：选C 根据第一段最后一句中的“sell all his papers”和第二段第一句话中的“selling papers”可知，查德在教詹森一个“卖光(sell out)”所有报纸的方法。

10．解析：选B 联系第二段可知，查德出的“主意(idea)”对于詹森来说很新颖。edition“版本”；policy“”；task“任务”。

11．解析：选C 由第一段倒数第三句中的“some seeds for his bird”可知，詹森想赚钱的另外一个目的是给自己的小鸟买种子，这时候他想到了家中没有“种子(seeds)”的小鸟。

12．解析：选D 根据第18空后的“You wouldn't tell a lie yesterday”可知这个男孩“下定决心(determined)”不通过撒谎的方式卖出更多的报纸。

13．解析：选C 联系空前的“Though”可知，本句是在强调尽管他“只是(just)”一个贫穷的报童，这里用just加强语气。

14．解析：选A 联系空后的“some good things”可知，詹森之所以能坚持不撒谎，是因为之前有人“教(taught)”给他一些美好的德行。hand“交给”；award“授予”；allow“允许”。

15．解析：选C 联系上文可知，詹森并没有像查德那样做。第二天下午，他“像往常一样(as usual)”来取报纸。at once“立刻”；by chance“偶然”；on purpose“故意”。

16．解析：选A 联系句中的“he sold six dozen the day before”可知，查德用自己的方式卖出的报纸很多，所以他感到非常“骄傲(proud)”。gentle“温和的”；warm“温暖的”；polite“有礼貌的”。

17．解析：选B 联系第一段的内容可知，詹森因为没有卖出所有的报纸而“赔(lost)”钱了。文章最后一段最后一句的“lost”也是解题线索。在查德看来，这是因为詹森不愿撒谎。

18．解析：选A 根据最后一段第二句中的“a ________ smile”和查德所说的话可知，这些男孩在“嘲笑(laughed at)”詹森。 shout at“朝……大声喊”；nod at“朝……点头”；stare at“盯着……看”。

19．解析：选C 根据后面的一句“You're just the boy I am looking for.”可知，这个绅士正要找像詹森一样诚实的人。他找到之后，当然是“慈爱地(fondly)”拍拍詹森的肩膀。bravely“勇敢地”；gratefully“感激地”；modestly“谦虚地”。

20．解析：选C 根据下一句中的“got a well­paid job”可知，詹森因为自己的诚实而得到了一份新“工作(job)”。duty“责任”；business“生意”；method“方法”。

Ⅴ.语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。可简单概括为：出新书当新娘，女“英雄”Lynch 有点忙。1.解析：选D 推理判断题。由第一段“The US soldier Jessica Lynch, who was rescued

by the US Special Forces after being captured in Iraq, is to marry.”可知D正确。

6．解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第四段的“The shallow waters around Britain are the windiest in Europe — ideal locations for wind farms and”可知。
