One of Britain's bravest women told yest...

    One of Britain's bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected police killer David Bieber—and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to £ 30,000 reward money.

Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.

She said “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there. ”

The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑的)of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year's Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. 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 bosses 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 wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.

“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said 'Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?' My heart missed a beat. ”

Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed 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, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (戴上手铐)

1.Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because ______ .

A.the police called her

B.he looked very strange

C.he came to the hotel without luggage

D.he came to the hotel the day before New Year's Eve

2.Vicki's heart missed a beat because ______.

4.David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in ______.

A.the passage B.his room

C.Vicki's bedroom D.the top floor room

 

1.B 2.C 3.C 4.A 【解析】 本文是记叙文,文章讲述了一个勇敢的酒店工作人员协助警方抓捕罪犯的故事。30岁的维基在夜间值班时发现一个可疑男子入住酒店,于是通知了警方。几小时后在维基的带领下警方悄悄潜入酒店,成功抓捕了逃犯。 1. 细节理解题。根据第四段维基的描述with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said : “ He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact.拿着小行李箱,带着太阳镜和遮挡脸部的帽子,而且不愿意多说话,不做眼神交流。由此可知Vicki怀疑 David Bieber 是因为他看起来很奇怪。故选B。 2. 细节理解题。从文中倒数第三段警方对她的要求Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside ?My heart missed a beat.你能让外面的警方认识你吗?我的心跳加速由此可知,Vicki的心跳加速是因为警察已经到了。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。从罪犯入住酒店时间who checked in at 3pm the day和她领警察进来时间It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again下文3点到凌晨2点10分,可知整个过程用了大约11个小时,故选C。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段 I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage.我看不到那个男人的房间,但是可以看到走廊,可知Vicky 只能看到走廊(passage),再根据最后一句Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed,然后突然他出来了,因为警方让他趴下,他被铐上了手铐,可推知嫌疑犯从房间出来,在走廊上被铐上了手铐。故选A。

概要写作:阅读下文,根据其内容写一篇50-60词胡内容概要。

For decades, doctors have warned patients that too much salt can be bad for the heart. Heart attack has long beenconsidered a grown-up problem, but new research suggests that salt is starting to affect children. Eating too much salty food when you’re young can lead to health problems later.

Salt is made up of two elements: sodium andchlorine. Dietary guidelines recommend that adults and kids aged 9-13 shouldn’t consume more than about a teaspoon of sodium daily. The average American eats twice this amount.This worries doctors because too much sodium results in the body producing more blood. To pump the extra blood, the heart has to work harder. This causes a rise in blood pressure---a measurement of how stressed the heart is. High blood pressure often leads to heart disease.

A kid with high blood pressure is more likely to become a grown-up with high blood pressure. Reducing salt might also help stop childhood obesity. British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. Drinking fewer fizzy drinks makes kids less likely to gain weight, become obese and develop high bloodpressure.

Salt can affect more than just your heart and weight. A recent study found that a growing number of kids in theUSaresuffering from kidney stones. This painful condition usually affects people aged over 40. Now, kids as young as five are getting it.

Cutting down on salt can be hard, but you can retrain yourself to prefer less salty food. The best way to reduce the amount of sodium you eat is to make changes gradually. Start by adding half as much salt to your dinner as you normally do. Switch to fresh foods instead of canned and bottled versions. And go easy on the condiments. You might also want to start reading nutrition labels. You may be surprised to learn that there are1,150 mg of sodium in a double cheeseburger, and over 2,000 mg in many frozen meals.

    In France, a bookstore chain has put a special camera in its shops.

Wirelessly collected data from smartphone accelerometers (加速度传感器) can suggest when shoppers become fascinated (movement stops) or are unhappy about________(a phone is raised to search for cheaper products online).

All of this could be a(n)________, some say, for sellers to enjoy the advantage that big data has long given online sellers. A race is________to work out how best to________and use emotional data, thus improving packaging, displays, music, or the content and timing of persuading customers into buying goods.

    Whenever I moved to a new city, the first thing I did was to hire a bicycle. Why? 1. You travel much faster than on foot and you notice so much more of your surroundings than when in a bus or a car. It's more appealing to wander down small streets if they seem interesting, as you can quickly get back to the main road. Besides, I soon discovered more benefits of cycling.

A bicycle means that fewer places, especially in a small city like the one where I live now, feel far away. For example, cycling to work takes me half the time that it would to walk, 2.

Of course, there are obvious health benefits of cycling — a bit of extra movement as part of your daily routine can help you keep fit and healthy. Cycling on my way to work also makes me feel more energetic in the mornings.

3. While cars pollute the environmentbicycles are carbon neutral (碳平衡的). Furthermore, thanks to being petrol-free, bicycles are cheaper to run, buy and fix than cars. Even if you don't own a cara bicycle can pay for itself when compared to the price of bus tickets.

4. Always wear a helmet, pay attention to other traffic and don't forget your lights at night. Make sure you know the road rules, especially in a new place. Some cities are more bicycle-friendly than others. 5. Luckily, where I live now is quite easy to ride a bicycle around, thanks to having lots of cycle lanes and not too many hills!

A.However, be careful when you are cycling.

B.But sometimes city roads are difficult for cyclists.

C.I should learn to ride safely on the right of the road.

D.Importantly, cycling also helps to decrease your carbon footprint.

E.Cycling to work is fit for whoever wants to save their pocket money.

F.Riding a bicycle also means you aren't limited by the bus timetables.

G.Seeing a city by bicycle is perfect for settling in and learning your way around.
