I spend a lot of time backpacking and hiking the outdoors and there are two pieces of equipment that are with me on each trip: an Adventure Medical Kits Weekender and an Adventure Medical Kits Suture Syringe Kit. Both proved very helpful on my most recent adventures to the Wrangell in Alaska.
On that day, we were “blessed” with rain, making our water crossing on the Dixie Pass very difficult. Our party of 12 had almost reached our destination when I slipped, severely gashing(劃傷) my knee open in the process. While I could not see the wound at first because of the rain pants I was wearing, I knew it was severe.
Blood was running freely and I made those standing nearby aware of the damage. They quickly came over to assist, pulled my pack off and removed the Weekender First Aid Kit and Suture Kit from it. Fortunately, one of my partners is a doctor called William, who has often performed this type of work in the operating room, not out in the wild.
I seriously think he was more nervous about all this than me! I, of course, was more than happy that I did not have to stitch(縫合) myself up. As a marine, I’ve had to do it before. Fortunately, the sky had cleared up about two hours before, so we had great sunlight to work with. The doctor worked quickly with the assistance of another fellow camper acting as a nurse and placed seven stitches into my knee once the wound had been cleaned up.
Later that evening we used a syringe(注射器) we set aside loaded with Iodine(抗炎藥) to clean the wound and then bandaged it again. The doctor was very impressed with the kits contents!
I’ve already ordered another Suture Syringe Kit. I have to say the kits are worth their weight in gold! Thanks for the contents in the kits!
小題1:What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A．the wound B．the rain C．the kit D．the knee
小題2:Why did the author think that William was more nervous while performing the first aid than himself?
A．Because William didn’t know how to use the kits.
B．Because the author didn’t trust William.
C．Because the author hurt himself severely.
D．Because William had no experience of doing it in the wild.
小題3:From the passage, we can infer that the kits are__________.
A．uselessB．extremely usefulC．troublesomeD．not essential
小題4:What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A．How first aid kits saved a backpacker in Alaska.
B．How a doctor did the operation in the wild.
C．How the author with 12 fellow campers hike the outdoors.
D．How the author hurt himself.

小題1:A

When the Farnsworth family moved to their new farm in 1919, eleven-year-old Philo was surprised to find it wired for electricity. This unusual circumstance contributed to his fate — to become an important inventor of the twentieth century.
By thirteen, Farnsworth had become a self-taught electrical engineer. He was able to fix the farm’s generator（發(fā)電機(jī)）when none of the adults could. In 1922, he read an article about a new idea of John Baird, a Scottish scientist, who had been working with the cathode ray tube (陰極射線管) for the transmission of electronic pictures and wanted to attempt it himself.
Farnsworth studied everything he could find on the subject. Although many older engineers with money backers were already developing television, Farnsworth made a bold decision — he was going to perfect a working model of it before anybody else.
In college, Farnsworth continued his research with cathode ray and vacuum tubes, but the death of his father, the only money maker in the family, forced him to give up this research and find a job. His first job was for George Everson, with whom Farnsworth discussed his dream of television. While acknowledging the achievements of those who came before, Farnsworth thought that he could get closer. Everson agreed to risk $6,000 for the research.
Backers came in 1927 to see the first American television, one year after Baird’s. They were astonished to see the image of a single white line resolve itself on the screen before them, and agreed that this new invention was worth putting money into.
In 1930, Farnsworth won a patent (專利權(quán)) for his all-electronic TV. By the time he died, he had earned over 300 American and foreign patents for electronic and mechanical devices.
小題1:When Farnsworth was at a young age, he _______
A．had to drop out of school to help on the family farm
B．was sent to school to study electrical engineering
C．wanted to be the first person to invent the television
D．had shown a surprising ability in the electrical field
小題2:What difficulty did Farnsworth meet when he first began his research on the television?
A．His parents didn’t support his work.
B．He didn’t have enough knowledge in this field.
C．He didn’t have enough money for his research.
D．No one was interested in this research.
小題3:How old was Philo Farnsworth when he invented the first American television?
A．11. B．13.C．19.D．22.
小題4:From the passage, we can learn that Farnsworth is ______.
A．the first person who worked for the transmission of electronic pictures
B．a(chǎn)n inventor who improved on somebody else’s idea
C．a(chǎn)n inventor who always came up with an original idea
D．a(chǎn) person who earned over 300 American patents for electronic devices

On a freezing-cold February morning in Indiana, Jhaqueil Reagan,18, left home to walk to a job interview—ten miles away, over snow-covered roads.
Reagan had been looking for work for months. His mother had died two years earlier, and he was the only caretaker of his younger brother, Cole, 16, and sister, Jazzlyn, seven. He was desperate for a regular salary after cutting lawns(草坪) and doing other temporaryjobs.
Three hours into his hard trip, Reagan had covered only three miles. He paused outside a Cajun restaurant called Papa Roux to ask for directions from owner Art Bouvier, who was clearing ice and snow from the parking lot. “I told him to get on the bus,” says Bouvier. “He thanked me and went on his way.”
Fifteen minutes later, Bouvier pulled up in his car beside Reagan as he walked along. “You’ve really got to be on the bus,” he told Reagan. “I don’t have money for the bus,” Reagan replied. Bouvier offered him a lift. On the way, he asked the boy about his job search.
“I thought, This is the kind of kid I want working for me,” says Bouvier. He got the teen’s phone number and dropped him off for his interview.
Later that day, Bouvier wrote about Reagan on Facebook. “He doesn’t know it yet, but he starts on Monday,” Bouvier wrote. “It’s been a while since I’ve met someone so young with a work ethic(倫理) like that!” A few hours later, Bouvier called to offer Reagan a job. Shocked, the teen accepted on the spot. A television reporter caught wind of the story and interviewed the pair on camera that night.
Today, Reagan is washing dishes, filling orders, and greeting Papa Roux customers for $8.50 an hour. The publicity(宣傳) has brought in so many new customers that Bouvier plans to open a second restaurant by the end of the year.
小題1:Why did Jhaqueil Reagan have to find a job ?
A．Because he had to make enough money to support his family.
B．Because his parents had died two years earlier.
C．Because he wanted to change his job.
D．Because he was desperate for a good job.
小題2:Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined part in the sixth paragraph ?
A．reportedB．deliveredC．heardD．told
小題3:Which of the following words best describes Bouvier?
A．honestB．warm-heartedC．modestD．independent
小題4:What’s the best title of the passage ?
A．A Young Man Who Had an InterviewB．A Young Man Who Found a Job
C．A Boss Who Offered a JobD．A Boss Who Took a Chance

I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes！”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.
But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.
Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two­year­old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.
Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.

小題3:Which of the following is TRUE about the author?
A．Her mother died when she was in hospital.
B．She didn't get enough food during her pregnancy.

小題4:What do we know about the author's family?
A．Her family is too poor to buy enough food.
B．Her family lives not far from a church.
