5 . My two daughters and I got into the car to spend our weekend in Florida. Autumn, the elder one, offered to drive. I sat next to her, and Amber sat in back. After setting off, the three of us sang to the radio at the top of our voice.

It was a great trip until the rain poured and the rain was too heavy. “I have to pull over, ” Autumn said. She tried to enter the far right lane (车道) to find a place to stop, but trucks ran fast, making water onto our car. The car was out of control, then worse — it started to move left and right. Autumn fought to control it but it was too late. We ran into a truck. The girls jumped out of the car. My chest felt much pain.

“Get out, Mom. Come on！” Amber cried. “I can't,” I said. Autumn took out her cellphone, “There's been an accident. Send an ambulance (救护车)！” Amber and Autumn pulled me out of the car and helped me lie on my back in the grassy area by the roadside. I had to calm myself and looked up. A man held a large umbrella over me and other kind faces appeared above me. A woman helped to treat a cut over Amber's eye. Another woman came close to me and said, “No one in the truck was injured. Help was on the way.” The woman mentioned she was a nurse; the other woman who took care of Amber's cut was an eye specialist. We couldn't have asked for better care.

7 . A bull bison(野牛)in Yellowstone National park charged at a 9-year-old Florida girl. Luckily, the girl was left with only relatively minor injuries. Eyewitnesses say that a group of around 50 people—including the unidentified girl—were standing within 5 ~ 10 feet of the bison for at least 20 minutes near Observation Point Trail before the animal decided to charge. "We saw through the trees some people petting the bison, super close,” Hailey Dayton, 18, an eyewitness who filmed the incident. " Because it was agitated by all the people and noise, it just attacked.''

In Yellowstone, there are about 4 ,500 bison, the nation's largest and most important bison population on public land. Yellowstone is the only place in the lower 48 states where free-ranging bison have lived continuously since prehistoric times, according to a statement from the National Park Service (NPS). The Yellowstone population is also significant for being one of the few herds(群)in the country that has not been inter- bred(杂交)with cattle.

While they feed primarily on grass, they can be aggressive if annoyed. " Stay 25 yards away from all large animals—bison, bighorn sheep, deer etc. —and at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves," the statement read. " If need be, turn around and go the other way to avoid interacting with a wild animal in a close distance. ”

Despite the presence of seemingly more dangerous animals such as bears and wolves, bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other creature. "This is what happens when you make fun of wildlife and pay no mind to an animal's personal space,'' Dayton wrote in a tweet. " This family was petting the buffalo before it charged. And as you can see the parents saved themselves over their daughter. That really put me off. ”

1. What does the underlined word "agitated" probably mean?

A．Amused.	B．Released.
C．Comforted.	D．Disturbed.

2. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．The remaining population of bison.	B．What Yellowstone means to bison.
C．How bison survived the hardships.	D．Bison's living conditions in Yellowstone.

3. What is the NPS statement in Paragraph 3 meant to do?

A．To warn people not to tease bison.	B．To inform readers of some large animals.
C．To persuade readers to protect the wildlife.	D．To urge people to give bison enough space.

4. What is Dayton 's attitude towards the family's act?

A．Positive.	B．Pitiful.
C．Unfavorable.	D．Admirable.

10 . Last year in a cross-country race in Sanqing Mountain, Gentian left everybody far behind, but unexpectedly he felt a sharp pain and saw that there were teeth marks and blood on his calf (腿肚子).    1    But he didn't know that it was a poisonous snake called ''five-step snake'' in Chinese that bit him.

Deep in the mountain, with no phone, Gentian kept running with the injury on his leg for 15 minutes and finally met a local farmer.    2    He happened to know about herbs and medicine. Immediately, he used some herbal medicine to deal with it. Later, the organizing committee's ambulance rushed to take him to the local hospital.

What should you do if you encounter a snake while outside? Remember: first of all, do not excite it. Data show that people who excite snakes are easily bitten.    3    Second, avoid the places where snakes like to stay. Snakes like to bathe in the sun during the day, and usually stay on gravel and cliff edges. Third, if you happen to see a snake crossing through the road, you must stop and wait for it to pass.

    4    First, sit down and try to avoid the acceleration of blood circulation. Then tie the limb 10-30cm above the wound with a strong rope, and curitopenabout1cm above the wound. The cut should be 1-2cm wide, and squeeze blood from top to bottom. Generally, snakebites occur at the ankle.     5     Also, make sure to call the ambulance ASAP.

A．He sensed that his situation was not good.

B．Then what to do if you're bitten by a snake?

C．So staying still can prevent you from meeting a snake.

D．He thought his high end shoes could protect against the snake.

E．However, those who run immediately are less likely to be bitten.

F．In this case bending the knee to reduce blood flow can be helpful.

G．Despite the language barrier, he understood what had happened.
