　　Mr Peter Johnson，aged twenty­three，battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water.He took the only escape route—through the boot.

　　Mr Johnson’s car had ended up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin，Kent after he lost proper control on ice and hit a bank.“Fortunately，the water began to come in only slowly，” Mr Johnson said.“I couldn’t force the doors open because they were jammed against the wails of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”

　　Mr Johnson，a sweet salesman of Sitting Home，Kent，first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn (笛) and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.

　　Later he said，“It was really a half penny that saved my life.It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot.I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear，but no help came.”

　　It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat，and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot.Then Mr Johnson found a wrench (扳手) and began to work on the boot

　　lock.Fifteen minutes passed by.“It was the only chance I had.Finally_it_gave，but as soon as I moved the boot lid，the water and mud poured in.I forced the lid down into the mud and climbed

　　up clear as the car filled up.”

　　His hands and arms cut and bruised，Mr Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby.Huddled in a

　　blanket，he said，“That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were

　　visible，police said last night.The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the

　　ditch.

　　阅读理解【2017·山东实验中学一模When Peng Liyuan stepped off the plane in Moscow，the whole world wanted to know who dressed the elegant first lady.The reporter released the secret—Ma Ke.

　　Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke’s designs for more than a decade，a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit，accompanying her husband President Xi Jinping.The elegant and attractive Peng，formerly a popular singer，has been compared with the US’ first lady Michelle Obama and France’s Carla Bruni­Sarkozy，since stepping off the airplane in Moscow on March 22.Suddenly，everyone was curious to know more about the first lady’s wardrobe.

　　Even so，Ma prefers a low­key approach.“If you eat a tasty egg why would you want to see the hen？” she says of all the media attention.

　　Ma’s relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind.Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma’s designs and had been wearing them for years.

　　The two naturally became friends.Ma says：“The painting reflects the painter，and clothes reflect both the designer and the wearer.Someone desires fame and wealth，or love and sympathy；what you have in your heart is reflected in the design.Those who don’t share my philosophy won’t buy my clothes.Peng is a caring person，devoted to charity and environmental protection，which is exactly what I’m doing now.”

　　However，regardless of the brand，Peng’s support of Chinese labels has surprised millions of Chinese who favor foreign fashion brands.

　　“Instead she presented a vision of Chinese fashion，desiring to bring Chinese designers to the world stage，” says a western designer.

　　The first lady’s double­breasted coat and her black leather handbag aren’t available at any of Exception’s shops，though Exception’s physical stores do have seen a rising number of visitors.

　　I think there is huge potential(潜力) and we are designing it.The ability to connect to friends，who remember the same movies and news and music，is really important，especially as people get old.They end up in retirement homes and they aren't always close to their friends.Allowing the network to help them connect with friends and family is a really powerful thing.

　　My mother is an enthusiastic user of the Internet，although it took me years to get her to use e－mail.She was born with normal hearing，but lost it when she was 3.She was totally deaf for many years，until age 53，when she got ear aids.They work really well.That is a big change for her.But before then，her friends couldn't call her on the phone，so they insisted (坚持) she use e－mail to communicate with them.

　　Young people don't even think of the Internet as technology.It's just there，and they use it.There's been a very interesting change in communications styles between old people and young people.There are some kids who are now in their teens and aren't willing to make phone calls.And they think of e-mail as old－fashioned and slow.

　　The reason why teens don't make phone calls seems to be that they don' t know what to say.When they call they often stop for a while.They don't know what to say，and there's this silence.On the other hand，texting is considered proper，and it's okay if you don't answer.You might have been distracted (心烦意乱的)．It's not considered rude.But it is considered strange if you're in this kind of voice conversation and simply stop talking.

　　(2017·沈阳市二模，B)

　　A recent research shows that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at the age of 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as interruptions in their daily routines.

　　In general, these “short sleepers” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or worked fullor parttime while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their family, friends and so on.

　　When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering.

　　In similar situation,

　　their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.

　　The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients.

　　The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. The research shows that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally robbed of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers”．

　　文章大意：本文是一篇研究报告。报告中对“睡眠少”的人和“睡眠多”的人进行了对比分析，研究出了他们睡眠时间不同的原因，及其在梦境回忆、性格特点等方面的差异。

　　A．many “short sleepers” needed less sleep before they were teenagers

　　B．many “short sleepers” were forced to reduce their nightly sleep time

　　C．many “long sleepers” were quite concerned when they slept 9 hours

　　D．many “long sleepers” had kept their sleeping habits since childhood

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第二句“The research shows that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood.”可知，答案D符合文义。

　　2．Many “short sleepers” were likely to hold the view that ________.

　　A．sleep could make people appear active and cheerful

　　B．sleep was the least important on their daily routines

　　C．they were acceptable to all their friends and family

　　D．they were less extreme than many mental patients

　　答案：B　推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as interruptions in their daily routines.”可推知，他们将睡眠看成日常生活的障碍，故答案B符合文义。

　　3．It can be concluded from the third paragraph that ________.

　　A．“short sleepers” dealt with the psychological trouble themselves

　　B．“short sleepers” were unwilling to face psychological problems

　　C．“short sleepers” shortened the sleeping time because of pressures

　　答案：B　细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句“In similar situation, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed...”可推知，答案B符合文义。

　　4．What is the purpose of writing this passage?

　　A．To introduce the result of a recent research.

　　B．To advise people to sleep for a longer time.

　　C．To show the disadvantages of short sleeping.
