Ⅳ. 阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）

第一节：阅读下面短文，从各题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

A

Rob Coulter worked in the wild of South Africa. He knew the animals, insects, and reptiles（爬行动物）of Africa very well. Rob knew them so well that he became careless.

One night, while camping alone, Rob reached out to pick up a large piece of wood and felt something bite his arm. Rob didn't think much about it. But a little later, his arm began to ache. When he looked closely at it, he immediately saw two teeth marks in the skin of his arm. He realized that a poisonous snake had bitten him. His pulse became rapid.

Rob's mind raced as he thought about what he had to do to survive. Rob knew that he should remain calm, stay still, keep the injured arm below the level of his heart and avoid eating or drinking anything, especially anything with alcohol in it. He also knew that cutting the wound to suck the poison out was a bad idea.

He used his two-way radio to call for help. As he waited, he washed the bite with soap and water. To help slow the spread of the venom（毒液）, he wrapped a bandage two inches above the bite and made it loose enough to slip a finger under it so that it would not cut off the flow of blood. Then, after about half an hour, his friend Mike arrived. Mike took Rob to the local hospital, where Rob was given antivenin—an antidote for snake venom.

Rob still enjoys camping, but he is now very careful not to disturb snakes.

41. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?

A. A travel magazine. B. A book review.

C. A lesson plan. D. A news report.

42. How did Rob realize that he had been bitten by a snake?

A. His pulse became rapid. B. His arms began to ache.

C. His skin immediately turned dark. D. Teeth marks appeared in his arm.

43. How can we deal with snake wounds according to the passage?

A. Stay calm and don't move. B. Run for help as fast as possible.

C. Drink alcohol to stop the poison. D. Cut the wound and suck the poison out.

44. The underlined word "antidote" in Para. 4 probably means something that is used to_____.

A. reduce the pain B. resist the poison

Gingerbread Houses: A Popular, Classic Holiday Treat

You can cook with it. You can make candy from it. You can put it into drinks or take it as medicine. Ginger has many uses, but none as beautiful as when it is used in a gingerbread house.

Past and present

Ginger—he key part of gingerbread and the houses themselves—has a long history. It is believed that ginger was used as early as 2,000 B. C. in China. Gingerbread houses were first written about during the 15th century. But it was the 19'th century fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel" that started the trend. As European immigrants made their way around the world, so did gingerbread houses!

One example occurred in the town of Belleville in the 1850s. As large numbers of German immigrants moved there, many brought along their gingerbread house recipes. To
