56yearold becomes 1st woman to swim Atlantic
(AP)-Jennifer Figge pressed her toes into the Caribbean sand, excited and exhausted as she touched land this week for the first time in almost a month. Reaching a beach in Trinidad, she became the first woman on record to swim across the Atlantic Ocean—a dream she'd had since the early 1960s,when a stormy transAtlantic (飞越大西洋) flight got her thinking she could wear a life vest and swim the rest of the way if needed.
The 56yearold left the Cape Verde Islands off Africa's western coast on Jan.12,2009, swimming 19 out of 25 days battling waves of up to 30 feet.The distance from Cape Verde to Trinidad is about 700 miles.Crewmembers are still computing exactly how many miles she swam.
The original plan was for her to swim to the Bahamas—a distance of about 2,100 miles—but inclement (恶劣的) weather forced her to change her plans and she arrived at Trinidad on Feb.5.She now plans to swim from Trinidad to the British Virgin Islands,ending her voyage at the Bitter End Yacht Club in late February.
Her journey came a decade after French swimmer Benoit Lecomte made the first known solo transAtlantic swim,covering nearly 4,000 miles from Massachusetts to France in 73 days.No woman on record had made the crossing.
Figge wore a red cap and wet suit,with her only goodluck charm (护身符) underneath:an old,red shirt to guard against chafing (磨痛),signed by friends,relatives and her father,who recently died.The other cherished (珍惜) possession she kept onboard was a picture of Gertrude Ederle,an American who became the first woman to swim across the English Channel.“We have a few things in common,”Figge said,“She wore a red hat and she was of German descent (血统).We both talked to the sea,and neither one of us wanted to get out.”
1.When did Jennifer Figge want to swim across the Atlantic Ocean?
A.After she reached a beach in Trinidad.
B.After she pressed her toes into the Caribbean sand.
C.After her stormy transAtlantic flight in the early 1960s.
D.After her graduation from a university.
2.Jennifer Figge had to change her plans .
A.because she wanted to shorten her voyage
B.because of bad weather conditions
C.because she wanted to end her voyage in late February
D.because she wanted to set a new world record
3.When did Benoit Lecomte probably make the first known solo transAtlantic swim?
A.In 1999. B.In 1988. C.In 1978 . D.In 1968.
4.For what purpose did Jennifer Figge keep a photo of Gertrude Ederle?
A.Figge would like to follow her example.
B.She had the same red cap as Figge always wore.
C.Figge also wanted to swim across the English Channel.
D.They were both born in Germany.

Published in 1896 and one of the most memorable horror stories ever written, Dracula, by Irish writer Bram Stoker,is the story of a vampire(吸血鬼),someone who lives on human blood. Stoker wrote the book after reading stories about Central European vampires and set his novel in Transylvania. Even today,there are readers of the book who believe that Transylvania is a mythical(神话的)country,a figment(虚构)of Stoker’s imagination. Nothing could be further from the truth. Transylvania is part of modern-day Central European country Romania,and the country does indeed have a history of mythological vampires.
However,Romanians are always puzzled by the description of the novel’s central character, Count Dracula,a tall,elegant aristocrat(贵族)with impeccable(完美的)manners who also happens to speak very good English. This is a world away from the images of vampires that they have grown up with. Romanian vampires are half-human creatures who live solitary lives in the forests,not aristocrats living in castles with well-stocked libraries.
So where did Stoke get the image for his Dracula? The answer becomes clearer when one learns of his relationship with a man called Henry Irving,the greatest British stage actor of his time.
Stoker was working as a civil servant in his home city of Dublin when he first met Irving. Bored with his tedious life and work, Stoker took every opportunity to visit the theatre and for a while was the drama critic for the Dublin Evening Mail. One of the reviews he wrote was of a performance of Shakespeare’s play Hamlet,with Irving in the lead role.
Irving was so pleased with Stoker’s review of his performance that he asked to meet him. Stoker couldn’t believe his luck when one night,he was invited to a dinner party where Irving was the guest of honour. Irving entertained the assembled dinner guests with some renditions(表演)of famous poems and speeches from Shakespeare.
Stoker was already writing the first chapters of Dracula and began to base the central character on Irving,in the vain hope that if it ever became a stage play, Irving would play the central character. Sadly,Irving never did,but the two men became close friends,and in 1878 Stoker left the civil service and became Irving’s manager in London.
1.Bram Stoker set his novel in Transylvania because ________.
A.it is in modern-day Romania
B.Transylvania is a mythical country
C.he wanted to tell a true story
D.he had read stories about vampires from the area
2.The central character of the novel ________.
A.is very similar to the vampires that Romanians know about
B.Is completely different from the vampires Romanians know about
C.Has impeccable manners,like a real Romanian vampire
D.Is puzzled by the comparison with Romanian vampires
3.What was Stoker’s hope?
A.That the book would become a stage-play.
B.That Irving would play the central character in the stage play.
C.That he could live in London.
D.That Irving would work for him.

Research by Scotland Yard published in a London newspaper, has proven that knife crime in London is a serious non – white phenomenon, with 165 of the 225 under- 18s accused of knife crime in the past three months being from the black or other non – white groups.
According to Scotland Yard, only 60 of the 225 crimes were white.Despite being a small minority of the knife holding criminals, whites did, however, make up the single largest group of victims of knife crime.
According to the Scotland Yard report, whites made up 222 of the 637 victims of knife crime over the last three months.This number could probably be higher, as 292 victims were not identified by race.
This month Scotland Yard Deputy Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson suggested knife crime has replaced drug selling as the top concern for London police.
Sir Paul said so as he announced a specialist knife crime unit to deal with teenagers carrying knives in the capital.It will use a team of 75 specialist officers to find criminal group members and their supporters.
Detective Inspector, George Rhoden, president of the National Organisation of Black Law Enforcement Executives said, “In the black community we have all noticed that there is major concern about gun and knife crime.Clearly we are not the only part of the community affected by the problem of children who have no fathers, but parental responsibility should be of major concern.”
Around 59 percent of black Caribbean children and 54 percent of mixed – race youngsters are looked after by a lone parent.In the white British population, the number is 22 percent.
1.From the above, we can see that ________in knife crimes in London.
A.there are more whites than blacks as victims
B.there are more blacks than whites as victims
C.blacks make up the smallest group of criminals
D.blacks make up the second largest group of criminals
2.What Sir Paul Stephenson said suggests that________.
A.drug selling has replaced knife crime as the top concern for London police
B.drug selling had been the top concern for London police in the past
C.knife crime used to be the top concern for London police
D.London police now pay no attention to drug selling
3.What measure has the government taken to deal with the problem of knife crime?
A.Punishing the parents of teenagers carrying knives.
B.Arresting the teenagers carrying knives.
C.Forming a specialist knife crime unit.
D.Fining the teenagers carrying knives.
4.According to George Rhoden, which of the following factors contributes to so many young blacks turning to crime?
A.That they are poorly educated.
B.That they are influenced by their fathers.
C.That many of them come from incomplete families.
D.That their parents are too busy to take care of them.
