I brought the list back to Daddy. He 50 to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know 51 than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to 52 , not just close your ears in anger, feeling 53 when something said about you is true, you’ll find it of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your affairs. Don’t shut your 54 . Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

第一节:阅读短文,选择答案。 (共17小题;每小题2分,满分34分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
A
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The heart operation taking place in the pale-green operating room at the Ohio State University Medical Center was unusual. The patient, a 62-year-old man, was made to sleep, tied with blue drapes(消毒帷帘)and lying face up on a narrow table. But no one was touching him.
Instead, the operation was being performed by a robot, whose three metal arms went through pencil-sized holes in the man’s chest. At the ends of the robot’s arms were tiny metal fingers, with turning wrists, which held a tiny instrument, a light and a camera. The robot’s arms and fingers were controlled by Dr. Randall K. Wolf, sitting at a computer in a corner of the operating room about 20 feet away.
This sort of operation, heart surgeons say, is the start of what may be the biggest change in their profession since heart bypass surgery(心脏搭桥手术) began nearly 30 years ago. “The
reason we make cuts is that we have big hands,” said Dr. Wolf , the director of the surgery at Ohio State. The robot’s dainty fingers, no longer than a nail on the small finger, at the end of the long sticks could work better.
Eventually, surgeons believe, most heart surgery will be done by robots whose arms are put in through pencil-sized holes punched in patients’ chests. Instead of directly staring into a patient’s body, surgeons will view magnified images of the operation on computer screens. In theory, the doctor would not have to be in the same room, or even the same country, as the patient.
56.In this passage, the underlined word “dainty” means ___________.
A. small B. weak C. fat D. quick
57. According to the passage, the reason that most operations require large cuts is that _________.
A. patients have large organs B. surgeons have large hands
C. large cuts take less time D. large cuts cost less money
58. The main idea of this passage is that heart surgery by robots ___________.
A. is quicker than surgery done by doctors B. was developed at Ohio State University
C. is a new and risky procedure D. may replace surgery done by doctors
59.Based on the information in this passage, all of the following conclusions are true EXCEPT___________.
A. All doctors at Ohio Sate develop new surgical techniques
B. Robot surgery is being developed at Ohio State
C. Robot surgery will be used on many patients in the near future
D. Many hospitals will eventually offer robot surgery to patients

Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located neat a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe. “The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked : what about crime But when college officials always gave the same answer ——“That’s not a problem here,” ——Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
“No crime whatsoever ” comments Mahoney today. “ I just don’t buy it.” Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S. Department of education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.”
But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics(统计数字)by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be serious,” warms S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group.
To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.
64. The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August ________
A. to express the opinions of many parents
B. to choose a right one four their daughter
C. to check the cost of college education
D. to find a tight one near a large city
65. It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges ____
A. receive too many visitors B. mirror the rest of the nation
C. hide the truth of campus crime D. have too many watchdog groups
66. The underlined word “buy” in the third paragraph means _______
A. mind B. admit C. believe D. expect
67. What is the text mainly about
A. Exact campus crime statistics B. Crimes on or around campuses
C. Effective solutions to campus crime D. Concerns about kids’ campus safety
D
He was just 12 years old when he died. But he brought courage and hope to people around the world. Nkosi Johnson, who died last June, is remembered today as an AIDS fighter. This young boy challenged his government’s AIDS policies and millions of South Africans in the fight against the disease.
Johnson was the longest survivor born HIV positive(艾滋病病毒携带者).He survived with this deadly disease for 12 years before it claimed his life.
At first, Johnson was expected to live for nine months when his foster mother, Gail Johnson took him in at the age of two. She now runs Nkosi’s Haven across town from her house in Melville. The Haven is home to 20 children living with HIV or AIDS, and 11 of their mothers.
Johnson attracted the world’s attention and stole the hearts of thousands of people across the world at the 13th International AIDS Conference in Durban in July 2000. He stood in front of a large audience including South African President Thabo Mbeki. He told them that he wanted AZT, a drug used to treat AIDS patients, to be given to HIV-positive pregnant(怀孕的) women to prevent the disease being passed on to their unborn babies. He received a loud cheer at the end of his speech.
Johnson’s speech was broadcast live across the world. With views beyond his age and even a sense of humor, Johnson soon became an international sign of the fight against AIDS and HIV.
68. The underlined words “claimed his life”(paragraph 3) means _______.
A. did harm to Johnson’s life B. helped Johnson to survive
C. caused the death of Johnson D. made Johnson weak
69. The main idea in paragraphs 4 and 5 is ________.
A. Johnson attracted the world’s attention
B. Johnson stood in front of South African President Thabo Mbeki
C. Johnson wanted AZT to treat AIDS pregnant women
D. Johnson helped prevent the disease being passed on to an unborn baby
70. The AIDS child gave the speech in order to _________.
A. steal the hearts of thousands of people
B. be an AIDS fighter
C. get more help from the world
D. fight against the government
71. From the passage we can infer that _______.
A. the government’s AIDS policies have to be improved
B. the government did nothing to help those with HIV positive
C. the boy’s speech changed the government’s policies
D. no one lived longer than the boy
72. The best title for this passage is________.
A. The Sad Story of an AIDS Child B. The Speech of an AIDS Man
C. AIDS, a Deadly Disease D. A Hero in South Africa
第二节:简答题(共3小题,每小题2分,满分6分)
阅读下列短文,根据各小题的具体要求,简要回答问题。
One of the strongest argument for the raising of the school leaving age(ROSLA) has been that it will bring us some way nearer to "equality of opportunity”.
Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is obviously so complete. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or do well in other ways.
Unfortunately we now have plenty of proofs that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all male 18-to-20-year-olds. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left school at 15.
It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same as it was in 1939. One study of 5,000 children from birth to 21 years old shows that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.
It is clear from this and many other proofs that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes, as—money, social respectability, and interesting jobs—which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reason why such children leave has much to do with their social background. Their parents often need the extra money another money-earner would bring in; they don't value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, "It's up to you."
73. Find in the article a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “bright”.
