It was 6 a.m. on a March day trip to the Tennessee Aquarium (水族馆). As the kids 21 the bus, 5th-grade teacher Amy King made a small talk with the 75-year-old driver.
She settled into a 22 seat for the three-hour ride. About an hour later, 23 , she felt the bus changed the direction across the highway. The children 24 .
King’s first thought was about the 25 , and she turned around and said, “Guys, it’s fine. Calm down.” Then, the bus seemed to have resumed (恢复) course. 26 when she turned to the driver, she saw him 27 forward in his seat. Meanwhile the bus rushed, uncontrolled, down the road at 70 miles an hour. She jumped to the driver’s side and tired to wake him up —— until a terrible thing focused her attention. They were going 28 the road.
In a second, she made her 29 . Leaning over the driver, she put one hand on the wheel and she pulled the wheel back to the right. 30 , the bus didn’t react so smoothly. It moved from side to side.

In all the chaos (混乱), a voice in King’s head told her, “You’d better find something to hang on to.” She grabbed a pole as 33 as she could. Just then the bus turned over, 34 children out of their seats and down the aisle (过道) and sending King through the front window. The bus slid through the grass on its roof for several yards 35 finally coming to rest, and the 36 children began climbing their way out through the broken windows.
37 , none of the children were killed. King was immediately sent to the hospital, 38 doctors treated her for bad injury.

第二部分 阅读理解:（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节：阅读下列短文, 从每题后面所给的选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。
A
Famous centenarians (百岁老人) are still active in arts and science, unwilling to retire. “Those who stand still, die,” says Oliveira, the Portuguese film director. He knows from experience what it means, as he has reached 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira produces a film and is currently working on his next project. “You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away,” he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said modestly: “Mother nature (大自然母亲) gave me what it took from others.”
Being mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise. Social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are vital for senior citizens.
Along with the architect Niemeyer (103), Nobel Prize winner Montalcini (101) and director Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those who are fit and active. It would be very wrong to think of them as members of a sickly elderly generation.
Another master in his profession is the architect Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his fantastic buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. “The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a rich few,” said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After an operation he composed a music tune in the clinic.
Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: “I want to be at least 108 years old.” He also plans to keep performing. “Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?” Heesters has not given up trying to add to his awards and is looking for a “good stage role”.
Italian scientist Montalcini，who is 101 years old and is still active in medical science，has described the force that keeps driving her on: “Progress is created through imperfection.” In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She’s convinced that humans grow on challenges.
Age’s no problem to some high achievers. The past also has many examples of elderly people who stayed very active into old age.
41. From the first two paragraphs, we can see ________.
A. being active at 102 is possible for everybody
B. Oliveira’s mother helps him to live a long life
C. being fit in old age is a matter of luck and character
D. social skills and wisdom are difficult for old people
42. How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage?
A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 7
43. It is ________ who speaks out for the poor and builds houses for all.
A. Oliveira B. Niemeyer C. Montalcini D. Maetzig
44. By saying “Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?”, Heesters
shows us he ________.
A. wants to sit or lie in comfort B. is waiting for people to pick him up
C. is willing to work till he dies D. prefers to give performance at home
45. The best title for this passage may be “________”.
A. The Older, the Wiser You’ll Be B. Progress, Created Through Imperfection
C. How to Live to Be a Centenarian D. Age No Problem to Some High Achievers
B
Dogs can bring joy and companionship into our lives. Coming home to a wagging tail and an eager smile creates a feeling of love and happiness. In fact, having a pet can reduce stress, lower blood pressure and relieve depression. Here are tips for handling, training, and owning dogs.
Choosing the right dog for you. Here you can see we have a German Shepherd (牧羊犬), a Boxer (拳师犬), and an English Bulldog. A Shepherd is a guarding dog; the Boxer is more of a working dog; A Bulldog likes to hang out, which is kind of a couch potato, if you’re a laid back person and don’t want to run down the beach with a dog, the perfect dog is a Bulldog.
Approaching an unfamiliar dog. The first thing about approaching an unfamiliar dog, is that if you’re going to reach your hands towards the dog, you need to do it from underneath, so your hand is not given to the dog in a threatening manner, which can be interpreted as being hit. You let them smell you first. When they smell you, don’t flinch (畏缩), or take a sudden move, because you can scare the dog, and get bitten. You’re to show your friendly side to the dog.
Pet food. The first thing about buying pet food is what’s the right type of food for your dog. Usually cheap pet foods are not good for dogs, they tend to have more health problems throughout their life. So starting on a healthy food is important. Look for food with no fillers, and no artificial flavors, or dyes. When feeding them, it’s good to give them a metal bowl. A lot of times the plastic bowls can cause anger to their mouth.
Exercising your dog. Walking is always a great form of exercise, good for you, great for dogs. And swimming is another great form of exercise for you too. And sometimes what you should do is get on the bicycle, and let them get a good run on, and that allows you to maintain your position as leader in front of them. Exercising them also keeps them from getting into bored behaviors like chewing and digging and that sort of thing.
Biting dog. If you have a biting dog, the best thing to do, along with a firm no, is trying not to be emotional about it. Just be firm. Give it a little pop beneath the chin (下巴) to close its mouth, and it’ll remember the result. You can trap it into putting its mouth on you. And then make it close the jaw, creating that pop sound, which it doesn’t like.
46. A bulldog may be good as a _________.
A. hunter B. guard C. worker D. companion
47. When approaching an unfamiliar dog, you’d better be ________.
A. brave and prepared to hit it B. friendly and let it smell you
C. careful and ready to run away D. playful and feed it to the mouth
48. What is the right thing to do in keeping your dog?
A. Feeding your dog with cheap food. B. Offering pet food in a plastic bowl.
C. Cycling with your dog running behind. D. Training the dog chewing and digging.
49. To keep your dog from the bad habit of biting things, you can ________.
A. shout at it with a loud “no” B. pretend to hit it with a stick
C. just be firm and ignore it D. put its jaw to a sudden shut
C
The U.S. government, which played as “the world judge of human rights,” made attacks on the human rights situation in almost 200 countries and regions again in its newly-issued Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2013. However, the U.S. carefully avoided mentioning its own human rights problems. In fact, there were still serious human rights problems in the U.S in 2013, with the situation in many fields deteriorating.
The number of violent crimes has risen sharply. The U.S. listed 1,214,464 violent crimes in 2012, of which 14,827 are murders, 84,376 rapes, 354,522 robberies and 760,739 serious violent attacks.
The U.S. government took freedom in monitoring (监控) its citizens, which shocked the world. Edward Snowden, a former CIA employee, disclosed a monitoring program carried out by the U.S. government. Under the program, the government rudely tracked citizens’ private emails, chats, audio and video data, documents and photos, identifying their locations, their traveling companions, and other personal information.
The U.S. citizens’ economic rights are still under challenge. Unemployment rates are high in the US. In 2007, nearly 80% people aged 25 to 54 in the U.S. had a job. In 2013, only about 76% people in that age group were working. Wealth gap in the US is widening. More than 47 million U.S. people living in poverty in 2012, and the poverty rate reached 15%. About 6.4 million people aged 65 and older were poor. The current gap between America’s rich and poor is the widest in history from 2012 all the way back to 1913. The richest 10 percent’s share of total income was 50.4% in 2012.
According to a survey carried out in 2012, at least 136 African-Americans were killed by policemen or security guards in the year. A latest report said that despite the fact that drug use was about the same for both black and white Americans, blacks were four times as likely as whites to be arrested for drug possession.
Some mainstream media, social organizations and politicians declare racist comments. On October 16, 2013, American Broadcasting Company’s Jimmy Kimmel Show aired a remark saying “kill everyone in China” and promoted racial hatred. It aroused unease and protests from Asian Americans especially Chinese Americans.
Sex discrimination(歧视) is still serious, and children’s rights are not well protected in the United States. Women are facing serious employment discrimination. On average, women made about 81% of the earnings of male full-time wage and salary. Women’s average annual income is $11,500 less than that of men’s. Women experienced frequent violent and sexual attacks.
