    　　We had hardly got above the clouds over the airport when a calm voice said over the loudspeaker:“For technical reasons we shall be returning immediately to London Airport. Please keep your seatbelts fastened.”

    　　I was rather surprised and glanced at the old lady next to me. She had been very chatty while we were waiting to take off.

    　　“I'm going to New York to visit some relatives there. I always sleep wonderfully welt whenever I get into a plane.”she had told me.

    　　And indeed, she seemed to he in a very deep sleep already.

    　　Just then a passenger behind me shouted,“Oh, my God! The wing's on fire.”

    　　I looked out of the window and my blood froze. Smoke and flames were pouring out of one of the engines. The plane was already turning and losing altitude fast.

    　　“What's happening? Are we going to crash?”an American in front of me demanded.

    　　The cabin crew were already moving up and down the aisle (走道), reassuring (安慰) people, saying things like,“It's just all right. There's no need to worry. Now, if you just sit still, everything will be all right. Don't get up. Don't get upset.”

    　　I looked out again. The ground was rushing up at us with shocking speed. We were already so low that I could make out cars and even people.

    “It's only a slight emergency,”a stewardess told me with a tense smile.

    Suddenly there was a sickening bump and we were rushing along the runway at a terrifying speed. The brakes screeched (發(fā)出尖銳刺耳的聲音). The engines roared even more loudly. We came to a trembling stop. The cabin crew quickly opened the emergency exits and the passengers began sliding down huge, stocking-like chutes (滑道) to the ground. A fire engine was already putting out the fire in one engine. I had to shake the old lady violently to wake her up.

    　　“What's wrong? Surely the journey isn't over already! I mean, have we got to New York?”she asked sleepily.

    1．When did the emergency occur?

    [　　]

    A．We are not told.

    B．Just before the plane landed in New York.

    C．Shortly after the plane took off.

    A．Height above sea-level.

    B．Place or area high above sea-level.

    C．Way of thinking or behaving.

    D．Way of positioning the body.

    3．What would be the best title for the text?

    [　　]

    A．An unpleasant flight.

    B．An interesting experience.

    C．An unforgettable experience.

    D．Brave cabin crew.

    4．When they landed, the old lady _____.

    could overcome my situation. But a lot of people will get beaten down and be held back by that." Lopez

         In 2002, Lopez starred in the films Enough and Maid in Manhattan. Maid in Manhattan became
    Lopez's biggest movie yet, earning $19 million during its first weekend in theaters. Lopez also put her
    third album, This Is Me… Then, and the single "Jenny from the Block" hit number one for a week. To go with her line of clothing, Lopez introduced her own perfume.
    In an interview, Lopez was asked if she planned to do more acting, singing, designing, or something new.
    She answered, "Yes, yes, yes, and yes! All of those things. I love making music, I love doing movies and

         BEIJING (AFP)-Archaeologists in China have uncovered more than 3 000 dinosaur footprints, state media
    reported, in an area said to be the world's largest grouping of fossilised bones belonging to the ancient animals. 
         The footprints, believed to be more than 100 million years old, were discovered after a three-month
    excavation (發(fā)掘, 出土) at a gully in Zhucheng in the eastern province of Shandong, the Xinhua news agency
    reported.
         The footprints range from lo to 80 centimetres (4 to 32 inches) in length, and belonged to at least six
    different kinds of dinosaurs, including tyrannosaurs, the report said Saturday.
         Wang Haijun, a senior engineer at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said the footprints faced the same
    direct.ion, Xinhua said.

    (食肉動(dòng)物), Wang added.
         Archaeologists have found dinosaur fossils at some 30 sites in Zhucheng, known as "dinosaur city". The
    region has seen two major digs since 1964, and experts say the discovery of so many dinosaurs in such a
    dense area could provide clues on how the animals became extinct millions of years ago.

    [     ]
    A. most of the footprints are more than 32 centimeters long
    B. the footprints found belong to some predators
    C. the dinosaurs were runmng in all directions because of an attack

    2. Which statement below is true according to the passage above?
    [     ]
    A. The number of the footprints found is more than 3 000.
    B. The dinosaurs may live in an age 10 000 000 years ago.
    C. The discovery of fossils may open a new age.
    D. Archeologists still wish to find some more fossils.
    3. The passage may be picked out from _____.
