A teenage girl is fighting for her life today after being struck by lightning as severe thunderstorms swept across Britain. The girl was one of four teenage girls from London who were hit by lightning in the Parade Ground area of Hyde Park during a storm. Earlier, Joseph Wharton, 14, died as he was struck by lightning while camping in his friend’s backyard in the West Midlands.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said the girl remained in serious condition at St. Mary’s Hospital in Paddington. She had stooped breathing by the time the first paramedic arrived on the scene just two minutes after the strike at 5:40 p.m. yesterday.
The other three girls hit by the bolt all had injuries, and were taken to University College Hospital. Their conditions were not serious, the spokesman added. The strike lifted the girls into the air and then dropped them to the ground, a witness reported.
A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said paramedics risked their lives to treat the girls. “The storm was still overhead and lightning was still coming down while they were treating the patients,” he said. “All staff involved acted very professionally in providing fast treatment to these patients in very difficult circumstances.” Scotland Yard said the incident was being looked into by officers from the Royal Parks’Operational Command Unit.
Joseph Wharton of Byland Way, Bloxwich, was hit during the extended thunderstorm which struck the region yesterday morning. He was pronounced dead at Walsall Manor Hospital.
He had been sleeping in a tent while staying with school friend Michael Lees at a house on nearby Cresswell Crescent.
West Midlands Ambulance Service said paramedics were called at 7:50 a.m. and unsuccessful attempts were made to revive the sports-mad teenager. A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said four or five people die each year as a result of lightning strikes in the UK.
1.All four girls _______________.
A were killed by the lightning B were seriously injured
C were being treated at the same hospital D were lifted up and dropped to the ground
2 The underlined word “bolt” probably means “ ______________”
A thunder B rain C storm D lightning
3 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A The boy was killed after the four girls had been hit.
B The paramedics began to treat the girls after taking them to the hospital.
C First-aid was given to the girls during the storm.
D The boy was hit by lightning in the Parade Ground area of Hyde Park.

B the writer blames the government for the accident
C the paramedics could also have been hit by lighting while aiding the girls.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳答案,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
In this age of ours, I find that almost all of my friends are becoming mere voices.
Not too long ago when friends came, they would fill half the drawing room and their voices would penetrate the four walls and disturb all the neighbors. Now they have all become, step by step, into invisible and untouched beings, whose tiny voices can only be heard by one ear through the telephone, no louder than the mosquitoes(蚊子).
Since this has become a necessary part of modern life, I too have learnt to live with this “ear language”. Many friends have become more distant because they are not very good at this way of communication(交流), others have become closer through ear language, and there are some friends I know by voice only. There is one particular voice friend I got to know through a very curious incident.
One day my telephone rang. When I lifted the receiver- a young lady’s voice informed me that she was phoning in answer to an advertisement for a night club program hostess. Obviously she had got the wrong number. The incident should have ended there and then. Actually, it was a sweet voice, only her poor imitation(模仿)of Hong Kong pronunciation and intonation got on my nerve and especially the “wa!” gave me the goose flesh. I told her that if I were the boss of the club, I wouldn’t give her a second thought because of her poor pronunciation. The young lady at the other end of the phone immediately came up with a surprising suggestion that, of course in her true local accent, she wanted to learn proper standard spoken Chinese speech from me, because she valued every chance very much. To my great surprise, we became “phone” friends. Every day, at the agreed time, she would ring me up and our “lesson” would begin. And she was tested and interviewed by a radio station in the south and got acceptd. She phoned me for the last time to thank me and to say good-bye. We had already formed a very deep “voice” friendship and have left deep unchangeable vocal(听觉的) impressions in each other’s mind. Any sudden appearance of visual images(视觉印象), good or bad, could only be destructive.
56.The underlined word penetrate in the first paragraph means _____.
A.pass quickly by B.force a way through
C.hear accidentally D.make a hole in
57.The passage suggests us that _____.
A.they would be friends forever
B.they would meet in the future
C.they hadn’t had and wouldn’t have any interview
D.the young lady was able to sing sweet songs in standard Chinese
58.We know from the passage that _____.
A.in modern times people get in touch less than before
B.young people enjoys getting together very much
C.people are more ready to help others
D.people can earn a lot of money in the night club
59.Which is wrong according to the passage?
A.The writer taught the young lady without pay.
B.The young lady can’t be a native of Beijing.
C.The writer is not fond of getting in touch with others
D.Neither of the two is ready to see each other.
I find it pleasant to be alone the greater part of the time; to be in company, even with the best, is soon tiresome and wasteful, and I never found a companion so companionable as solitude (独处).
We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad than when we stay in the meeting-rooms, for solitude is not measured by the miles of space between a man and his fellows.
The farmer, who can work alone all day without feeling lonesome, but must do something with others to get pleasure at night, wonders how the student can sit alone at night; he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is actually at work in his field and cutting his wood as the farmer was in his.
Society is commonly too cheap:We meet at very short intervals (间隔) ,not having had time to get any new value for each other; we meet at meals three times a day and give each other a new taste of that unpleasant old cheese; we live thick and are in each other’s way, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.
We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable (可忍受的); certainly less frequency would be enough for all important and hearty communications between men.
It would be better if there were but one to live within a square mile, as where I live ,for as the value of a man is not in his skin, we need not touch him.
72.The writer uses the example of the farmer and the student to show that _____.
A.men need to do something for pleasure after their work.
B.men are not lonely when they are working.
C.solitude is necessary for a student.
D.people have different ideas of solitude.
73.When the writer says:“Society is commonly too cheap” he means that ______.
A.we meet not frequently enough so we don’t understand each other well.
B.we eat cheap food and live a simple life so we don’t feel very happy.
C.our lives are too regular for us to find any happiness in them.
D.people don’t have enough hearty communication to realize the value in others
74.The writer’s opinion on the value of a man is that _____.
A.it is made too low by the rules of etiquette and politeness.
B.it can be discovered through frequent physical touch.
C.it can be found in a man’s appearance.
D.it doesn’t lie in physical touch.
75.The writer almost believes that ______.
A.a student and a farmer have no idea of solitude.
B.the same life we live every day is the cause of man’s loneliness.
C.etiquette and politeness are rules that make frequent meetings tolerable.
D.less frequent meetings can make us more clear about the value of men.

Interesting animals was sold together with exotic plants and strange medicines. Dried animals, dried foods and dried plants were laid out for sale next to rare seeds and spices.
