Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in 23 the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible 24 when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him 25 . Then she waited alone for three 26 while armed police prepared to 27 the building.
She said, "I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen
28 in the car park I was so glad they were there.”
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who 29 in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and 30 sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his 31 . She said, "He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact." Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her boss Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the 32 man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki
33 15 minutes.
"It was about ten past two in the morning 34 the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’. My heart missed a 35 ."
Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers 36 passages and staircases to the top floor room and 37 over the key.
"I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, 38 I could see the passage. The police kept 39 at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he 40 have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (带上手铐)。

解析
小题1:本题测试同义词辨析。本句译文：然而，领导者必须是一块磁石，一位能把他人吸引到身边的中心人物。draw to/towards意为“吸引”;drag意为“拖拽，(工作、时间)缓慢而协调地进行”;haul意为“用力拖拉”;unite意为“联合”。
小题1:本题测试惯用搭配。考查词组depend on。
小题1:本题测试词义搭配。本句译文：在紧闭的门后施展权威，体现不出领导能力。exercise authority(use authority)意为“行使权威”;recognize意为“认出”;respect意为“尊敬”。
小题1:本题测试结构搭配。where引导一个地点状语从句，其他选项不符合句意。
小题1:本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。本句译文：他必须是一个传奇人物、奇闻轶事(不管是真是假)的中心主题、一个重要角色。subject意为“主题”。
小题1:本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。or表示前后词的意思并列，在这应互为反义词，所以小题1:本题测试惯用搭配。本句译文：最简单的策略之一是在众人期盼的场合下缺席，这足以引起谣言，谈论到底是什么重要的事把领导耽搁住了。on the occasion意为“在……场合下/情况下”。
小题1:本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。译文：当某领导被大家……的时候，他缺席了，这足以引起谣言，揣测他耽搁的原因。所以是领导“该出席没出席”，只能选expect“期待，盼望”。refuse意为“拒绝”，suspect意为“怀疑”，expel意为“驱逐”，三个选项均不合题意。
小题1:本题测试句法分析。后面的定语从句修饰the vital business，而从句中缺少一个主语，因此只能选择which。when和where分别表示时间和地点，作状语不能作主语;what不能引导定语从句。
小题1:本题测试惯用搭配。本句译文：为了补偿这次缺席的影响，他在最意想不到的场合出现，引起另一轮关于他的兴趣的猜测，人们会认为他在其他人认为琐碎的事情上显示出兴趣。make up for意为“补偿;弥补”。
小题1:本题测试惯用搭配。display/show/express interest in sth. 意为“对……显示出兴趣”。
小题1:]本题测试词义搭配。view sth.as(regard sth.as)意为“把……认为/当作……”。其他选项在搭配上均错。注意错误选项B，当变成think of…as时与regard…as同义。
小题1:]本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。相关译文：“此领导具有激发他人好奇心的天赋，但不愿谈论自己。他的兴趣显然在别人身上：他向下属提问，鼓励他们交谈，然后记住所有的相关信息。”inspire意为“激励”。curiosity意为“好奇心”，possess意为“拥有”，decrease意为“减少”，均不符合题意。urge意为“力劝;驱策”，与上文的语气不符。
小题1:本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。由上文“这位领导不愿意谈论自己”分析出此句为“他的兴趣在他人”。只有plainly意为“显然地”为正确答案。scarcely意为“简直不/一定不”;obscurely意为“模糊地，含糊难解地”。
小题1:本题测试结构搭配。在定语从句中，先行词为特殊词时，后面只能用关系代词that引导，不用which，所以that为正确答案。
小题1:]本题测试结构搭配。相关译文：直到他在头脑中已经整理好了在场每个人的微型档案后才会离开人群，确信知道下次再遇到他们时要讲什么。
小题1:本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。前面已提到“他记住所有他人的相关信息”，所以选与之对应的everyone，“头脑中形成在场每个人的微型档案”。
小题1:本题测试结构搭配。D正确，what是兼为先行词的关系代词，等于the thing(s) which。
小题1:本题测试结构搭配。本句译文：他骨子里是一位具有外向性格的人，但是他宁愿多听取他人的想法，而不是自己喋喋不休。“would rather…than…”意为“宁可……也不……”。
举一反三
Last year and halfway across the United States, the Ramirez family of suburban Miami adopted a girl who had been abandoned a week later on the same spot.
Both families named their daughters Mia. It turns out, a first name and Chinese heritage aren’t the only things the three-year-olds have in common. The girls’ mothers—Holly Funk and Diana Ramirez—met on a website for parents who had gone through international adoptions. After a flurry of e-mails comparing photographs and biographical details, DNA testing proved the families’ suspicions: The girls are probably fraternal (手足般的) twins.
“I was in shock,” said Ramirez, who lives with her husband Carlos in Pembroke Pines, Florida. “Well, now this is for real.”
The Internet and Web groups revolving around international orphanages are increasingly being used to link adopted children with biological kin(亲属). The site that the Funks and Ramirezes used has a membership of 137 people, with 15 sets of twins and seven sets of siblings whose relationships have been confirmed.
At a reunion on Friday at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, Mia Diamond Funk Mia Hanying Ramirez shyly surveyed each other, then reached for each other’s hand.
DNA tests established an 85 percent probability that the girls are at least half sisters. Scientists did not have a biological parent to test and reach a greater certainty, but given their ages and physical similarities, experts say it is likely they are fraternal twins.
Douglas and Holly Funk hope to take Mia to Miami in October. Both sets of parents say they are committed to staying in touch and often let the twins talk to each other on the phone.

| B．the two girls were born by different parents |
| C．the DNA of a biological parent is still missing |

No, it’s not a visit from their mothers, and not a threat to take away their cellphones or pocket money.
It’s high-frequency noise. The UK police recently agreed to use a device (装置) called the Sonic Teenager Deterrent. It sends out a sound that makes teenagers become so impatient and angry that they have to cover their ears tightly and walk away.
The sound is at extreme high-pitch that can be heard by those under 20. The body’s natural ability to detect some wave bands (波段) decreases almost entirely after 20, so few adults can hear the sounds. The black-box device, nicknamed the Mosquito because of its sound, can be fixed to the outside walls of shops, offices and homes. It sounds to youngsters like a crazy insect or a badly played violin. But it causes no physical damage.
A number of police forces and councils have given permission to use the system and want to install it at trouble spots.
Staffordshire Police Inspector Amanda Davies, who has given the device to shopkeepers in the Moorlands area, said," It is controlled by the shopkeepers--if they can see through their window that there is a problem, they turn the device on for a while until the group has run away."
小题1:The device can be used to ____________.
| A．threaten teenagers in public |
| B．drive away trouble-makers under 20 |
| C．help mothers control their teenage children |
| D．help the police control shopkeepers |
| A．young people often suffer from pains in ears |
| B．shopkeepers are troubled by noisy insects |
| C．high-frequency noise is beyond the listening ability of people over 20 |
| D．the police invented a new device to deal with teenagers |
| A．to advertise a new hi-tech device |
| B．to tell the reader a piece of news |
| C．to sell the device to shopkeepers |
| D．to inform the public as the spokesman of the police |
| A．Shopkeepers. | B．The police. | C．Young people. | D．The producer. |
小题1:Some Prison Service guards died when they tried to ________.

| A．all of the dead were Prison Service guards |
| B．the forest once suffered a fire in the 1980s |

| A．the worst forest fire in Israel"s history |
| B．the actual cause of the worst ever forest fire |
| C．the damage caused by the forest fire |

The Hotshots are firefighters who battle fires in wilderness areas．But don"t think you"ll only find them in California．Wherever there is a national wildfire emergency，the Golden Eagles Hotshots could be there．
But these firefighters don"t work the same way as those in big cities．They work where there are large numbers of trees，bushes，and grass．They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris （残骸）．They sometimes use water，but often fight fire with fire！
They do that by lighting what are called “backfires” ---- small，controlled fires that burn up fuel in the path of larger wildfires．That way, when the wildfire gets there, it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go，because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke．
The Hotshots also clear away fuel using old-fashioned hard work．For example，they use a saw to cut away trees and heavy brush that could catch fire．
Of course there are times when the Golden Eagles Hotshots do have trucks to
supply water to the fires．But the water is limited，and these guys have to rely on hard work more than anything．Physical fitness is very important．They have to be strong to handle steep hills while c
arrying a 60pound pack．Thanks to their efforts，many lives have been saved，many houses not burned，and countless trees still standing．
小题1:According to the passage，why do the firefighters light “backfires”？
| A．To signal for help． | B．To remove obstacles． |
| C．To protect trees and bushes． | D．To prevent t he fire from spreading． |
| A．They are firefighters working in big cities． |
| B．Their work requires physical strength． |
| C．They are working for free． |
| D．They usually hold a hose to put out the fires． |
| A．areas | B．ways | C．achievements | D．tools |
| A．Appreciative． | B．Doubtful． | C．Worried． | D．Critical． |
