A
Malaria, the world's most widespread parasitic(寄生虫引起的)disease, kills as many as three million people every year—almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people don't (or can't) seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long.
Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches. As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect (感染). They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it doesn't kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of parasite. Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth—and one of the most successful. Malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations. Some of the disease's spread is due to global warming.
56. According to paragraph 1, many people don't seek care because _______.
A. they are too poor
B. it is unusual to seek care
C. they can remain unaffected for long
D. there are too many people suffering from the disease
57. People suffering from malaria _______.
A. have to kill female mosquitoes B. have ability to defend parasites

A. Its resistance to global warming.
B. Its ability to pass on the virus frequently.
C. Its outbreaks in cities with large populations.
D. Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs.
59. It can be inferred from the passage that _______. .
A. no drugs have been found to treat the disease
B. the alternative treatment is not easily available to most people
C. malaria has developed its ability to resist parasites
D. nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease
60. Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage
A. How can we know one is suffering from malaria
B. How many people are killed by malaria each year

When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety…But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm.These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-Kilometer- an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
“Storm chasing (追逐)”is becoming an increasingly popular hobby,especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July.A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to l,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it,storm chasing is extremely dangerous.The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds.Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain.If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm - chasing vacations during the storm season.
Even then,storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement.“Storm chasing is 95%driving,”says Daniel Lynch,who spends most of his summer storm-chasing.“Sometimes you
Can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen,and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However,for storm chasers,it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm,it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,”says Jasper Morley.“Every storm is an example of the power of nature.It is the greatest show on Earth.”
61.For storm chasing,the first thing storm chasers do is to    .
A.head straight for the center of the storm
B.get into the car for safety
C.wait patiently for the storm to develop
D.collect information about a coming storm
62.Beginners of storm chasing are advised
A.not to drive in a heavy rain  B.to do it in an organized way
C.not to get too close to a storm D.to spend more time on it in summer
63.By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph,the author means that
A.storm chasing costs a lot of money
B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
C. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
D. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth
64.What can we learn from the text
A.Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment.
B.Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.
C.Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.
D.Storm chasing is only fit for young people
C
Playing with toy blocks (积木) may lead to improved language development in young children, a new study reported.
Early childhood is an important period in the development of young minds. The newborn brain grows three times in size between birth and age 2. Scientists have said that certain activities during this important period may promote (促进) healthy development while others may hold it back, and development of memory and language may especially be helped by imaginative play.
After six months, language scores among half of the 175 children aged 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 who were sent plastic blocks were 15 percent higher than a matched group that did not receive the free blocks, according to the study by researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle.
Parents were given ideas about how to help their children play with the blocks, then were told to keep diaries of their children’s activities over four days. Finally, all the parents filled out questionnaires that judged their children’s vocabulary, grammar, and other language abilities. Study author Dimitri Christakis said unstructured play with blocks motivated children’s thinking, memory and physical skills at a time when a child’s brain is growing rapidly. “They are the foundation of thought and language,” he wrote of the skills learned from building blocks. “Older children begin to make up stories for these objects .”
Such play may also take the place of less helpful activities such as watching TV, he said, adding parents ought to have doubts about some toy-makers’ words. “An increasing number of media-based products are making ungrounded (无根据的) claims that they can make children smarter, more literate, and more musical,” Christakis said.
65.What can we learn from the second paragraph
A. Parents should allow their children to play as long as they want.
B. The brains of kids develop very quickly before they are two years old.
C. Playing blocks can help children do well in sports at school.
D. Activities, like imaginative play, may delay the development of the brain.
66.According to the study, about ________ children’s language scores were 15 percent higher than those of children who didn’t play with blocks.
A. 87 B. 55 C. 23 D. 157
67.Building blocks helps kids gain language skills because _________.
A. young children always talk to themselves while building blocks
B. their parents can teach them when they are playing with blocks
C. their parents are given ideas on how to develop their brains
D. it can help them improve thinking, memory and physical skills
68.The aim of the passage is probably to _______.
A. raise the present level of children’s language ability
B. encourage parents to let their babies play with blocks
C. improve parents’ knowledge of raising children
D. encourage makers of blocks to develop more toys
D
Congratulations! You have applied for a job and now you are getting ready for that important job interview and you are looking forward to making a good impression on your future (hopefully) boss.
When you walk in the room the very first impression you make on the interviewer can have a great influence on the rest of the interview. It is important that you introduce yourself, shake hands, and are friendly. In a job interview, the first question is often a “breaking the ice” type of question. Don’t be surprised if the interviewer asks you something like: “How are you today ” or “What do you think of the weather lately ” Answer the question without going into too much detail.
Talking about qualifications (资历) is the most important part of any job interview. Your qualifications include your education and any special training you may have received in the past. Your qualifications also include your experience in any previous work. It is important to explain what experience you have in detail. Generally, employers want to know exactly what you did and how well you accomplished your tasks. This is not the time to be modest.
Try to avoid some big mistakes in the job interview, such as leaving the mobile on and criticizing previous bosses. The worst thing is you yourself have no questions. Having no questions shows you are either not interested or not prepared. Remember that interviewers are more impressed with the questions you ask than the selling points you try to make.
69. The passage is mainly about .
A. the typical questions asked in job interviews
B. importance of interviewees’ qualifications in job interviews
C. some common mistakes found in job interviews
D. Dos and Don’ts in job interviews
70. A “breaking the ice” type of question is .
A. a question that makes people unhappy
B. an opening question asked to make people less nervous
C. a sharp question that makes people angry
D. a question asked about serious topic
第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最适当的单词。注意:每空1个单词。
Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death In medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed by greater needs; the need to protect patients from brutal news, to uphold a promise of secrecy or to advance the public interest.
What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months Is it best to tell him the truth If he asks, should doctors reject that he is ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation
Doctors face such choices often. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patients’ own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.
Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them of risks destroys their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate faster, perhaps even commit suicide.
But other studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about serious illness, and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, humanely conveyed, helps patients cope with illness; help them tolerate pain better with less medicine, and even recover faster after surgery.
There is an urgent need to debate this issue openly. Not only in medicine, but in other professions as well, practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences seem avoidable only through deception. Yet the public has every reason to know the professional deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted, to spread, and to trust. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.”

It was 2 : 05 in the afternoon. When I entered the classroom, I was sur prised to see a video camera. Our class teacher was operating the camera, and my classmates were all talking among themselves slowly. Most of us had never been in front of a video camera before, so we were quite nervous. As for of myself, I had once faced one at home, my uncle was shooting when we were celebrating my sister's birthday. But this was completely different. We had to talk about our articles as if we were reading news on TV. The funny thing was that every time I tried to face the camera and talk about my article, I forgot the article and couldn't resist looking down at it. It was a completely different experience for me, thanks to our class teacher.
