A 14-year-old girl was attacked by a grey bear while competing in a bike race. She managed to whisper the word "bear" to her rescuer. The girl suffered serious head, neck and leg wounds and is now in a dangerous condition in hospital. The girl was taking part in a 24-hour race through Bicentennial Park in Alaska when she was attacked by the bear. Bicentennial Park is next to Chugach State Park where the wild animals live. The bear attacked the girl in a heavily wooded area at about 1:30 am, during the darkest part of the night. The girl called emergency services but she was unable to communicate. Another rider Peter Basinger found her sitting dazed (神志不清的) on the ground. He told the Anchorage Daily Newsshe managed to say the word "bear" when he stopped to help. Her helmet (頭盔) had been ripped off (撞掉) in the attack and rolled into the woods. Mr. Basinger waited with the girl for about 20 minutes until doctors arrived. Armed police trekked (長途跋涉) 3km with doctors to pick up the girl. Animal expert Rick Sinnott said something must be done as soon as possible to prevent the bear from attacking people again. "It had to be extremely terrifying, "he said. Mr. Sinnott told the Anchorage Daily News that the bear could have been a mother. It hurt two runners on a nearby path two weeks ago.

先閱讀短文,然后根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容判斷正誤,并將結(jié)果轉(zhuǎn)涂到答題卡上。正確的涂A,錯誤的涂B。
As high school students, Sang Tian and Huang Yunru dreamed of attending one of the world’s top universities. They slaved over their studies and were in the end admitted to famous schools – only one turned out to be far more famous than the other, according to new ranking (排名)of Asia’s top schools.
Huang Yunru, 19, went to the University of Hong Kong, the No 1 school in Asia. Sang, also 19, went to Tsinghua University, which was ranked a disappointing 16th in Asia. When Sang heard the news, he couldn’t believe his ears. “What? How can it be?” he said, greatly surprised.
The new list of Asia’s top 200 universities was published last month by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), a UK-based career and education company. The ranking have started heated discussions among Chinese people, since the mainland’s top two schools – Peking University (PKU) and Tsinghua University – were not in the top 10.
Actually, this isn’t the first time that the schools have gone on poorly in regional or global ranking. The 2010 world university list released by the magazine US News & World Report ranked Peking University at 50th and Tsinghua University at 56th. They were the only two mainland schools in the top 100. Meanwhile, 37 US universities made the top 100 list. And three of 10 Hong Kong universities made the top 50.Chinese universities’ poor performance has saddened many students. “I can’t understand their standards,” said Sang. “At least we are a university with a long, proud history.”
According to the QS list, Chinese universities are doing OK in academic peer review, with both Tsinghua and Peking University scoring a full 100. But when it comes to student-to-faculty ratio(師生比), their ranking drops, with Tsinghua at 22th and Peking at 23rd.John Hennessy, president of Stanford University, said at the Fourth Chinese-Foreign University Presidents Forum in early May that a lack of small-group discussions has seriously affected the teaching quality at Chinese universities. This has also resulted in students being afraid to question or challenge teachers.
小題1:Peking University (PKU) and Tsinghua University were in the top 10 in the ranking of Asia’s top schools.
小題2:There were no top 100 universities in the mainland according to the ranking.
小題3:Hong Kong universities are doing much better than the Chinese mainland ones in the ranking.
小題4:Peking University (PKU) and Tsinghua University are so famous that they are not worried about the result at all.
小題5: One of the reasons for the mainland’s universities’ disappointing ranking is that there are simply not enough teachers for the large number of students.

Shakespeare ,more perhaps than any other writer ,made full use of the greatest resources of the English Language .Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English ;Shakespeare in his works used about twenty—five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it .Such a study is well worth the effort, even though some aspects of English usage ,and the meaning of many words ,have changed since Shakespeare’s day.
However ,it is surprising that we should know comparatively little about the life of the greatest English author. We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford—on—Avon ,and that he died there in 1616.He almost certainly attended the Grammer School in the town ,but of this we cannot be sure .We know he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children .We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces .But this is almost all that we do know .
However ,what is important about Shakespeare’s life is not its incidental details but its products , the plays and the poems .For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeare’s life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long tine critics(批評)have been theorizing(理論化)about the plays .Sometimes ,indeed ,it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it .
Fortunately this is not likely to happen .Shakespeare’s people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere ,and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.
51.This passage is about         .
A.the great length of each chapter
B.the great varieties in writing styles
C.the richness of the content in Shakespeare’s works
D.the rich English language used by Shakespeare in his works
52.According to the writer ,which of the following remains uncertain about Shakespeare?
A.His date of birth.
B.His marriage.
C.His life in the Grammer School.
D.His date of death.
53.It can be inferred from Para 3 that           .
A.not all the comments on Shakespeare’s works have produced good effects
B.scholars have successfully collected facts about Shakespeare’s life
C.critics are more interested in Shakespeare’s play than his poetry
D.the details of Shakespeare’s life are more important than his literary works
54.What does the last sentence in Para 3 mean ?
A.People don’t think the poetry of Shakespeare good any more.
B.People pay more attention to the comment than the poetry of Shakespeare.
C.People can’t see the poetry of Shakespeare any more.
D.The comment is printed on the poetry of Shakespeare.
55.“Shakespeare’s people” in Para 4refers to             .
A.the characters in Shakespeare’s products
B.the people whose native language is English
C.the people living in Shakespeare’s day
D.the readers of Shakespeare’s works
