阅读下面短文，从46-55各题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。

(A)

What do you do if you're stranded(处于困境的)on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.

Body signals Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.

Smoke signals The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.

Ground-to-air signals It's a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols. If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:

F "I need food and water." II "I need medicine." I "I am badly hurt."

X" I am unable to move from here."

Pilots' replies If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood". (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise (顺时针方向的) circle, this means "message received but not understood".(At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.)

However, there is no signal which means "message not received". Why not?

( )51. Which picture means "it's not safe land"?

( )52. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes".

B. If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II".

C. If the ground is dark, light smoke can't be seen.

D. The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.

( )53. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The explanation of building signals on an island.

B. The importance of making signals on an island.

C. Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.

D. Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island

(B)

We talk every day. When we have good news, we like to share it with our good friends and when something terrible happens, we make it known to others soon. But can you imagine that a tree can talk and share news too? Of course, no tree moves lips and says words just as people do. Strange as it may sound, though, some trees do manage to communicate with each other.

Willow(柳树) trees are the best-known of these trees. When insects start to nibble a willow tree, the tree sends out a special smell at once. This smell tells the other willows that harmful insects are coming near. All of them quickly make a chemical in their leaves. This chemical is bad to the insects. The insects do not like it and they fly away soon. In this way, the willow trees protect themselves from the insects.

The next time when you take a walk in the woods, maybe the trees are “talking” to each other quietly. And when someone says that trees cannot “talk”, please tell them that even trees give messages to each other, too.

( )54. Willow trees send messages with _________.

A. words B. movements C. smells D. sounds

( )55. The underlined word “nibble” in the second paragraph means ________.

A. 敲打 B. 叮咬 C. 寻找 D. 侵蚀

( )56. The passage tells us that some of the trees can ________.

A. speak just as people do B. tell stories to others

C. communicate with each other D. kill insects in the woods

( )57. According to the passage, the right order of the following is ________.

a. The willow tree gives out a smell.

b. The willow trees make a chemical in their leaves.

c. Insects fly a way because of the chemical.

d. Insects start to nibble a willow tree.

A. d-a-b-c B. d-b-a-c C. a-b-c-d D. d-c-b-a

(C)

One of my favourite things to do is hiking in mountains. Because nobody likes the idea of getting lost, I always prepare before every trip. But what’s the best navigation tool, a Global Positioning System (GPS) or a good old map and compass? Five of my friends and I hiked through the mountains on a trail I marked. One team of three carried a GPS, and the other team used a map and compass.

It took the GPS team 3 hours and 11 minutes to get through the whole hike, however, it took the map and compass team only 2 hours and 49 minutes. The biggest problem the GPS team met was that they lost the satellite signal in some places. With no map or compass, they had to walk around until they were in a place where the signal was good. The map and compass team was able to spot (认出) different landmarks, compare them to their maps and then use the compass to point them in the right direction.
