Traditional Chinese Medicine
? Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of 5000 thousand years. It is a summary of the experience of the laboring people over many centuries of struggle against disease. For thousands of years it has played an important part in curing disease and protecting the health of the Chinese people, thus contributing greatly to the growth and prosperity of China, as well as to the worldwide medical knowledge.
Traditional Chinese medicine is based on its own theories and contains a unique system in itself. It holds that man and his natural environment form an organic whole; many diseases are linked with the environment. It also holds that the various parts of the human body form an organic whole. When one is ill, the whole body is affected, so that treatment should emphasize the physical condition of the individual as a whole. It is still today widely used by the Chinese people and the whole world people in treating diseases. It is an integral (不可欠缺的) part of world civilization and a common benefit for all mankind.
Since the founding of New China, Chinese Government have attached great importance to traditional Chinese medicine and laid down a series of principles, policies and measures, aiming to develop traditional Chinese medicine, integrate it with Western medicine and modernize the traditional Chinese medicine. It has progressed greatly over the past thirty years and more. Quite a number of Chinese medical workers have carried out studies on traditional Chinese medicine with modern scientific knowledge and methods. They have also used combined Chinese and western medical means in the treatment of a number of difficult and complicated cases, which have all shown satisfactory results. At the same time many researchers have studied the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine such as yin and yang, theory of zang-fu, channels and collaterals, Qi and blood, the four diagnostic methods, the principles of qigong etc, with experimental research methods resulting in considerable progress.
In recent years, more and more people are interested in traditional Chinese medicine. They would like to accept its treatment. They are interested in learning its knowledge and technique to treat patients and studying why it works. Traditional Chinese medicine as a subject has been added into teaching plan in different famous medical colleges. Traditional Chinese medicine clinics and schools are everywhere in the world and increased continuously every year. With the present development of traditional Chinese medicine, its integration with modern science and technology will surely enhance its contribution to human health.

Millions of Americans lie awake at night counting sheep or have a strong drink or have some medicine, hoping it will make them drowsy. But experts agree all that is a bad idea. And the causes of chronic insomnia (慢性失眠) remain secret.
Almost a third of adults have trouble sleeping. Sufferers readily have the resulting problems: walking around in a fog, as memory, and other cognitive (认知的) functions slow. Dozing off (打盹) at the wheel or at work. Depression. Lack of energy.
But for all the complaints, scientists know surprisingly little about what causes chronic insomnia, its effect on health and how best to treat it, a group of specialists brought together by the National Institutes of Health concluded Wednesday. Two things are clear. Chronic insomnia is a main public health problem. And too many people are using unproven therapies (疗法) , even while there are a few treatments that do work.
The hope is that the report will remove some of what panelist Dr. Sean Caples of the Mayo Clinic considered as “misinformation and myths.” Among the panel’s findings are cognitive therapy, newer prescription sleep pills and alcohol treatments.
The panel (专家组) called for a broad range of research into insomnia, noting that if scientists understood its key causes, they could develop better treatments.
Most, but not all, insomnia is thought to accompany other health problems. The question often is whether the insomnia came first or was a result of the other diseases, which is little known to us.
Other diseases aside, the risk of insomnia seems to increase with age and to be more common among women. Smoking, caffeine and many prescription drugs also affect sleep.
1. A Which of the following ways is not useful to stop chronic insomnia at all?
A. Counting sheep. B. Having a strong drink.
C. Have some medicine. D. Heavily smoking.
2. B The underlined word “drowsy” in Paragraph 1 means _________.
A. sleepy B. soft
C. comfortable D. healthy
3. A People who suffer chronic insomnia often have the following feelings EXCEPT _________.
A. having a bad memory
B. feeling sleepy at work
C. having other diseases
D. feeling weak all over
4. B According to the passage, we can infer that _____________.
A. the insomnia is connected with other health problems
B. the insomnia is the result of some other diseases
C. scientists haven’t found the important causes of the insomnia
D. the insomnia should be based on the medicine
5. B Which of the following will be the best title for the passage?
A. Millions of Americans Suffer Chronic Insomnia.
B. Chronic Insomnia Puzzles Sleep Exports.
C. Chronic Insomnia Is Kept a Secret.
D. Chronic Insomnia Trouble Millions of Americans.

Mary Cochran went out of the rooms where she lived with her father, Dr, Lester Cochran, at seven o’clock on a Sunday evening. It was June of the year 1988, and Mary was eighteen years old. She was walking along Tremont, lined with small shops and shabby houses, a rather quiet cheerless place on Sundays where there few people about. She had told her father she was going to church but did not intend anything of the kind. She did not know what she wanted to do. “I will get off by myself and think,” she told herself as she walked slowly along. The night, she thought, promised to be too fine to spent sitting in a church and hearing a man talk of things that had nothing to do with her own problem. Her own affairs were approaching nothing but a crisis, and it was time for her to begin thinking seriously of her future.
The thoughtful serious state of mind in which Mary found herself had been put by a conversation she had with her father on the evening before. Without any talk of the kind before and quite suddenly, he had told her that he was a victim of heart disease and might be gone at any moment. He had made the announcement as they stood together in his office, behind which the father and daughter lived.
68. A Mary intended to ________________ that night.
A. go to church B. think about the problem
C. be left alone D. talk over the problem with her father again
69. B ___________ put Mary in a serious state of mind?
A. The uncertainty of her future

C. Her concern about her father’s sudden decision
D. Her worry about her meeting with the churchman

C. In a small shop D. In the same building as her father’s office

What happens to mother-daughter relationships when girls become teenagers? It seems that girls go from playing “dress up” to arguing with their mothers about how they should dress.
When a girl is 3-4 years old they love to “dress up” in their mothers’ clothes, put on their mothers’ make up, cook and do whatever else their mother does. This is the time when she can be seen as being a mama’ s girl.
How come girls change so much from childhood to the teenage years? Many parents seek the answer when their daughter becomes a teen. Often when a girl enters high school, her behavior changes as well as her physical appearance.
When I was young I always liked playing “dress up”. It made me feel older and more like my mother. Even when I entered middle school, I still depended a lot on my mother to choose and buy my clothes. Once I entered high school there was a big change. To me, my mother’s clothes were no longer “in fashion”, and neither was her opinion. I started becoming interested in boys and tried to improve the way I looked. It was not that I wanted to look cool. I just wanted to look my age.
This is the time when the mother-daughter relationship can take a turn. It’s difficult for a mother to know that her daughter is no longer totally dependent on her.
When the daughter starts wearing revealing clothing, dating (约会), and just wanting to be more independent, a mother starts to feel left out, or not needed. The number of arguments increases, and the number of times when the mother and daughter get along happily decreases.
When these things start to happen, it is a sign that the daughter wants her independence and the freedom to grow up.
When you notice how much your relationship had changed, try to believe positive things come out of the change. Put all the negatives aside and concentrate on what your mother is feeling instead of just on what you’re feeling.
When it seems too hard to handle, take some quiet time and write out your feelings. Maybe at another time, you can share them with your mother and try to find a way to better your relationship as mother and daughter. If you don’t feel comfortable sharing your feelings, at least write them down so you can get them out. It’s better than keeping them bottled up inside.
1. B The reasons why girls would argue with their mothers are the following except that _______.
A. they need more independence
B. mothers want daughters to be mama’s girls again
C. they think their mothers’ clothes are no longer in fashion
D. they concentrate on what their mother is feeling
2. A A “mama’s girl” will not _______.
A. dress up in her mother’s clothes
B. depend a lot on her mother to choose and buy her clothes
C. like wearing revealing clothing
D. think her mother’s clothes are out of date
3. B When the daughter wants more independence,________.
A. a mother starts to feel she is less needed
B. it is the time when mother and daughter get on joyfully increases
C. she wants to look cool
D. she wants to exceed (超过) her mother

IV. One possible version:
May I have your attention, please? Now I’d like to make a speech here.
With the improvement of living standard, there is a lot of waste on campus. For example the students leave the lights on in the daytime, water running after washing and remains of a lot of food after eating on the table. Some of the students even ask their parents for pocket money. So it is high time that we had to deal with the problem. The reasons are as follows:
In the first place, the bad habit of being wasteful will have a bad influence on their own character. Secondly, it adds financial burden to their parents. Last but not least, it also exhausts the world’s very limited natural resources, water and electricity.
But how to reduce the waste? In my opinion, it is everybody’s business to fight against waste. On one hand, I should start with myself to save everything. On the other hand, I’d like to remind my friends here to take the lead in reducing the waste.
Therefore, I’m sure, with everyone doing his bit, we will change the present situation the better.
That’s all. Thank you!

IV. 阅读理解:(每题1.5分,共30分)
(A)
Surgery that can improve the way a person looks is becoming more and more popular in the United States. This kind of surgery is called cosmetic surgery (美容手术), and both men and women are turning to this treatment as a way of keeping their appearance young as well as keeping competitive in their jobs. Men especially are beginning to turn face-lifts, liposuction, and implants to help them look younger. As companies develop and move young employees into higher positions, older employees in their late forties and early fifties feel the need to look and act younger in order to stay competitive. A younger look through cosmetic surgery may give an older employee a few more years on the job. These operations are not without danger, however.
One young woman had an eye operation to get rid of the bags under her eyes. She described the operation as terrible. She said, “When he started cutting, I was fully awake. Even though he’d given me an injection near my eyes, I saw everything.” She went on to explain, “I knew I had to keep still because of what he was doing. He was scraping away fat underneath my eyes. It took about ten minutes. After he finished, I felt I couldn’t walk.” Her trouble did not end after the operation. For two weeks, her eyes were swollen almost completely closed, and even dark glasses could not hide the side effects of the operation.
Liposuctions is probably the most popular cosmetic operation in the USA. It seems simple enough. First, a small cut is made over the place where the patient wants the fat removed. Next, a small pipe is put into the cut. A machine is then turned on, and the fat is sucked right out of the body. However, as one doctor explained, some problems can happen after the operation. He warned, “Irregular lumps (肿块) and loose skin can result from this operation. If it is not evenly done, liposuction can produce a very lumpy result.” Patients often must have more liposuction to correct the problem.
56. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _________.
A. people have cosmetic surgery in order to keep their jobs
B. there are many different kinds of cosmetic surgery
C. cosmetic surgery can be dangerous
D. cosmetic surgery is expensive
57. The second paragraph describes _______.
A. an implant operation B. a woman’s experience
C. a faulty surgical treatment D. some side effects of an operation
58. What is often the side effect of liposuction?
A. Fat is taken out of the body. B. Something is put into the body.
C. Lumps appear on the body. D. Patients are very weak.
59. Which of the following in NOT the reason for people’s having cosmetic surgery?
A. To look younger. B. To be more competitive.
C. To get into higher positions D. To keep healthy.

In most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters. The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those “strange visitors” from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.
Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can’t stop playing. They spend hours tightly holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked “fire”. They develop pains on their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play so that the pains have no chance to cure properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem: The muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed and swollen that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call “Space Warrior’s Wrist”.
Other strange aches and pains also are likely to affect the elbows and shoulders. Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently reported in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
Doctors who examined her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by lights flashing at a particular frequency.
60. Electronic games are found very popular with ________.
A. people living in towns B. students studying in high schools
C. girls working in their fathers’ workshops D. young people aged 14—20
61. “Space Warrior’s Wrist” is caused by _________.
A. constantly pressing the buttons B. rapid wrist movement
C. tightly holding the joystick controls D. inflamed and swollen muscles of the wrist
62. The case of a 17-year-old girl given by the writer shows that the writer _______.
A. supports playing electronic games
B. feels very sorry for the girl
C. disagreed with young people’s playing electronic games
D. feels worried about young people’s poor health
63. From the passage we can conclude that playing electronic games is ________.
A. enjoyable and helpful to the study B. exciting but harmful to the health and study
C. interesting but harmless to the muscles D. amusing and satisfying
(C)
Beijing plans to build huge free or low-cost parking lots beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads to encourage more car owners to take buses or subways to the downtown area.
The plan is just one of the many measures the city plans to take to reduce its traffic jamming as the 2008 Summer Olympic Games draw near. Low or no parking fees would be used as economic control to reduce growing parking demands from urban areas.
Car owners living in the suburbs will be encouraged to park their cars beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads and take buses or subways to the downtown area. Statistics show that nearly one quarter of the city’s traffic flow is concentrated in the 62-square-kilometer downtown area within the Second Ring Road, which makes up only 12 percent of the city’s total area.
The Beijing Traffic Management Bureau receives between 400 and 500 calls reporting traffic jams every day and more than 90 percent of the roads are filled to capacity during rush hours every morning and evening. Part of the problem is the lack of easy links between bus routes, subways and cars.
According to the communication commission, half of the city’s investment in transportation will go towards public transit construction in the next few years, making a jump from the current only 20 per cent. Moreover, Beijing plans to change its layout (布局) by building new city centers, such as at Yizhuang, Tongzhou, Shunyi and Changping, in a bid to reduce the traffic flow to the downtown.
The current layout of Beijing-expanded ring roads around the same center of the Forbidden City, is seen as the root cause of the endless traffic jams. The downtown area is crowded with three business centers and one financial center, as well as nearly 400 government organs and institutions.
Traffic experts say building more urban centers around Beijing may reduce the number of residents living in the suburbs and traveling long distances to work downtown every day, thus reducing traffic flow.
64. In the coming years, if a man beyond the Fourth Ring Road goes to work in the downtown of Beijing, he is encouraged to _________.
A. take buses or subways B. take a taxi
C. drive there directly D. park his car in a place which asks for no fees
65. According to this passage, while more and more people drive to work in rush hour in Beijing, it is likely to __________.
A. save time B. cause traffic jams
C. cause traffic accidents D. reduce air pollution
66. The aim in building new city centers is to ________.
A. make it convenient for people to go shopping
B. develop its local resources
C. reduce the traffic flow to the downtown
D. change the layout of Beijing
67. The passage suggests the author ______.
A. hopes to save some money while parking beyond the Fourth Ring Road
B. finds it costs less to take subways than to drive
C. is for the plan to reduce Beijing’s traffic jamming
D. has benefited a lot by driving to the downtown every day
(D)
Many chemical compounds found in the Earth’s atmosphere act as “greenhouse gases.” These gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere freely. When sunlight strikes the Earth’s surface, some of it is reflected back towards space as infrared radiation (heat). Greenhouse gases absorb this infrared radiation and trap the heat in the atmosphere. Over time, the amount of energy sent from the sun to the Earth’s surface should be about the same as the amount of energy radiated back into space, leaving the temperature of the Earth’s surface roughly constant.
Many gases exhibit these “greenhouse” properties. Some of them occur in nature (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide), while others are exclusively human-made (like gases used for aerosols).
Given the natural variability of the Earth’s climate, it is difficult to determine the extent of change that humans cause. In computer-based models, rising concentrations of greenhouse gases generally produce an increase in the average temperature of the Earth. Rising temperatures may, in turn, produce changes in weather, sea levels, and land use patterns, commonly referred to as “climate change.”
Assessments generally suggest that the Earth’s climate has warmed over the past century and that human activity affecting the atmosphere is likely an important driving factor. A National Research Council study dated May 2001 stated, “Greenhouse gases are accumulating in Earth’s atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and sub-surface ocean temperatures to rise. Temperatures are, in fact, rising. The changes observed over the last several decades are likely mostly due to human activities, but we cannot rule out that some significant part of these changes is also a reflection of natural variability.”
However, there is uncertainty in how the climate system varies naturally and reacts to emissions (散发) of greenhouse gases. Making progress in reducing uncertainties in projections of future climate will require better awareness and understanding of the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the behavior of the climate system.
68. The functions of Greenhouse gases are the following except _______.
A. allowing sunlight to enter the atmosphere freely
B. reflecting sunlight back towards space
C. absorbing the infrared radiation
D. trapping the heat in the atmosphere
69. From the passage we can infer that _________.
A. water is a kind of Greenhouse gases
B. human activities don’t affect the earth temperature much
C. the change of temperature has much to do with Greenhouse gases
D. scientists know how the climate system reacts to the emissions of greenhouse gases
70. What can be the best title for this passage?
A. The Change of the Earth’s Temperature B. The Effects on the Greenhouse Gases
C. Human Activities and Environment D. Greenhouse Gases and The Earth’s Temperature

Stuttgart, Germany — China’s 110m hurdles world record holder Liu Xiang and Jamaica’s 100 metres world record holder Asafa Powell made the most impressive marks on the opening day of the IAAF World Grand Prix finals.
Powell ran yet another sub 10 second race though he didn’t threaten his record of 9.77 sec and Liu made a stunning return to the international circuit after taking time off since breaking the world mark in July in Lausanne.
Liu timed 12.93 sec in the event and admitted to not feeling too surprised at his excellent run.
“I felt really well before the race and I knew I was in really good shape,” said the 23-year-old Olympic champion.
“After my world record (12.88 sec breaking Colin Jackson’s 13 year old mark of 12.91) I returned to Beijing and got a lot of rest,” added Liu.
However, Liu promised more of the same at the World Cup in Athens next weekend.
Unlike Liu, Powell was undecided about the World Cup.
“I feel a little tired, the season has been long but a rich one,” said Powell, who started way back in March at the Commonwealth Games where he won the 100m title.
“I will see whether I run in Athens next week.”
Powell admitted that he had not threatened his world record because he was nervous of false starting.
“There had already been one so I didn’t want to be disqualified for doing the second one. I am not disappointed in my time at all.”
Elsewhere America’s Olympic and world 400m champion Jeremy Wariner continued his dominance of the event as he won with something in hand.
“It has been a long season but my best run since London,” said Wariner, who is with Clyde Hart, the former coach of world record holder Michael Johnson.
“It is a great way to finish the season but I had to dig down deep.”
His performance spurred on Democratic Republic of Congo runner Gary Kikaya, who broke Nigerian Innocent Egbunike’s 19-year-old African record in the 400 metres.
The 28-year-old timed 44.10 seconds in finishing second to Wariner eclipsing Egbunike’s time of 44.17sec set in August 1987.
Kikaya, who was formerly coached by controversial handler Trevor Graham, said he was delighted to have run Wariner so close.
71. This passage is most probably from ________.
A. a magazine B. a text book C. a science report D. a newspaper
72. According to the passage how many athletes mentioned have taken part in the IAAF World Grand Prix finals this year?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
73. What does the word “one” in the 10th paragraph refer to?
A. a race B. a false starting C. a champion D. a world record
74. Who has already decided to take part in the World Cup in Athens next weekend?
A. Liu Xiang B. Wariner C. Powell D. Michael Johnson
75. What can we learn from the passage?
A. This was the first time that Wariner has beaten Kikaya.
B. Liu Xiang and Powell are opponents.
C. Liu Xiang is always full of confidence.
D. Warrior and Michael Johnson are sharing the same coach.

A meaningful Activity
Our school has now started an activity called “Create well-mannered Classes and a more harmonious Campus”. The topic is “Discard Bad Habits and Welcome progress”.
Bad habits do exist. Some students throw rubbish everywhere or spit in public. Some wear long hair. Others are even addicted to smoking and drinking. We require that the students break away from these bad habits.
We urge the students to wear their school uniform with pride and be polite to others.
During the activity, we’ll hold a picture show, a competition of classroom and dormitory decorations and so on.
We all hope that we’ll build each class into a civilized one and our campus into a harmonious place.

M:Annie, some friends of mine have just moved out of this flat, it might be just what you and Jean and Emily are looking for. Three bedrooms in a very quiet location
W:Well, that’s important. I can’t bear noise. What’s the cost?
M:About $120 a month. I think. Rather a strict landlady, but she keeps the house perfect and the flat is beautifully furnished.
W:Where is it?
M:Five minutes’ bus ride from the school. Near Jean’s college. There’s a bus stop just outside the house. Let me know quickly if you want it, or it’ll be taken.

W:Why weren’t you at the German class last night, Tom? Have you given up?
M:Well, no...I came back late yesterday and found John sleeping in the chair. He’d been writing reports all day long and he was too tired to go out again, so we gave the lesson a miss.
W:You’ve missed quite a lot of the lessons lately, haven’t you? Are you losing interest?
M:Yes, I’m afraid so. Neither John nor I have a gift for languages. People just laugh at us when we attempt to speak German. How did you and Jane pick it up so quickly and easily? You’re hardly been in Germany a month.
W:It was neither quick nor easy. We’d both studied the language before we came, and we only needed to revise it.
M:Anyway, all our friends here peak English very well, so we don’t really need to learn German.
Text 10
M:So, how much money have we got to spend?
W:Seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds. What do you suggest?
M:I suggest that We use mainly TV, cinema and print
W:I see, magazines and newspapers. Can you give me your reasons?
M:Sure. First, our product looks good. So it would be a waste of money to use radio. Second, our product moves well, and it moves fast. So I want people to see it on the roads in out ads.
W:What about advertising boards?
M:No, I prefer magazines and newspapers, and we haven’t got the money to do all three. So people will see the ad on TV and in the cinema. Then they’ll be able to read all about it when they’re sitting down, reading their newspapers and magazines.
W:When do you want the advertising to start?
M:May 1st.That gives us three months to run to August1st when most people like to buy their new cars.
W:I see.

(A)
To help a 7-year-old overcome bedwetting, Dr. Howard Bennett reaches for red water balloons and a superhero named Bladderman. Bedwetting is a problem for many children age 6 or older.
Alarms and medicines are available, but understanding how their bodies work for many kids is key to staying dry. Bennett published a book that’s aimed directly at children, not just their parents to help understand bedwetting so that children understand accidents aren’t their fault-it’s not a matter of willpower but of biology-and to outline research-backed steps they can take to help stay dry.
Bedwetting is hard on youngsters’ self-esteem (自尊). They may decline sleepovers or feel anxious about camp, such as doing their own laundry, to hide the problem. Bennett even had a 9-year-old patient whose younger brother discovered his bedwetting and used it blackmail.
Children usually get nighttime bladder (膀胱) control between ages 3 and 5. The brain and bladder must learn to work together: First, the bladder signals the brain that it’s filling. The brain then either signals back for the bladder to relax and hold more overnight, or signals the child to awaken. Boys are twice as likely as girls to experience delays in nighttime bladder control.
For children who don’t want to wait it out, there are ways to help. Most common are alarms that make a sound when they sense wetness. The alarms, which cost from $ 60 to $200, can help train children to wake up. “But the education is important,” stresses Dr. Patrick McKenna. Good training in how the bladder works and how to control it can meet the devices’ effect.
1. B The passage mainly tries to tell readers that __________.
A. bedwetting is a common thing for children B. boys are easier to have bedwetting
C. children’s bedwetting can be overcome D. bedwetting is a matter of biology
2. A According to the passage, bedwetting happens mainly because _______.
A. brain doesn’t signal them to awaken B. these children’s bladders are smaller
C. they are too young to control themselves D. they have too much water before sleep
3. A According to the passage, the underlined word “they” refer to _________.
A. children B. sleepers C. bladders D. alarms
4. B The contents that follow the last paragraph of the passage will be ___________.
A. how the alarms work in treating bedwetting B. how to educate children to avoid bedwetting
C. how bedwetting works for the children D. how to build youngsters’ self-esteem
(B)
The coolest idea in stroke treatment is refrigeration. Yes, cold is hot.
Many doctors believe they can reduce the lasting damage after a stroke by quickly dropping victims’ body temperatures for a day or two, basically storing their brains on ice. “It’s like putting food in the refrigerator. It doesn’t go bad. You slow down all the processes,” says Dr David Tong of Stanford University.
The approach is new, but the understanding behind it-that cold protects the brain as a fridge keeps tomatoes-has been recognized for centuries.
Everyone knows a story of a child who fell into an icy pond and was fished out after 45 minutes and then warmed up and got perfectly OK. The cold water stopped biological processes that ordinarily would kill brain cells almost immediately.
Performed occasionally in surgery, cooling the sick is still considered too risky and unpleasant and impractical for 700, 000 strokes in the U.S.A. each year. Instead, researchers put their faith in medicines. But that goal has been all too difficult to catch as dozens of supposedly brain protecting drugs failed testing over past ten years.
Now, supported by fresh science and new technology, doctors are looking again at cold. They hope soon to prove it a workable and valuable first step for treating stroke victims.
In theory, doctors say, cooling the head should slow or even stop the destruction of weak brain cells. Several experiments have indicated this might be the case.
5. A The writer thinks that refrigeration in stroke treatment ____________.
A. is a wonderful method B. will produce high temperature
C. has been used for centuries D. is too simple to carry out
6. B In the fourth paragraph the writer gives us an example to _____________.
A. show us how clever the boy is B. explain how the treatment works
C. make us believe that children like fishing D. tell us to do the experiment ourselves
7. B In the USA, cooling the sick in surgery __________.
A. is popular but risky for patients
B. has been proved to be safer than brain protecting drugs
C. is considered helpful for treating stroke patients
D. is still considered dangerous
8. B From this text we can conclude that __________
A. doctors should treat all kinds of patients in an old way
B. doctors should treat all kinds of patients in a strange way
C. medical science is developing with other sciences
D. medical treatment is based on theory
答案
I. 1. probability 2. historic 3. chemist’s 4. attack 5. length
6. recipe 7. standardize 8. applications 9. contemporary 10. widespread
II. 1. C。考查交际用语。So what?意为“那又怎么样呢?”
2. A。考查冠词。第二空a country 作a stronger and more powerful China同位语。
3. B。“为某人动手术”应为“operate on sb.”,介词on不可省去。选项A若改为operate on you也对。open out意为“展开;张开;发展”不合题意。open up意为“打开;开办;开发;给……开刀”。故选B。
4. C。句意是:他获得成功是可能的,但把握性不大。probable与possible译成汉语时有时很难区分,但是它们在英语上还是有区别的:probable所表达的可能性比possible大,表示说话者有相当的把握,确信会成为事实。又如:It is highly probable that he will take over his father’s business. (他极可能接手他父亲的生意。)
5. A。考查名词与其后介词的搭配。“……的秘诀/诀窍”应为“the recipe for…”或“the secret of …”。“通向成功之路”为“the way to success”。“成功的经验”为“the experience of success”。故选A。
6. D。合成词mass-produce意为“成(大)批生产”作定语时译成“mass-produced”;作名词译成“mass production”。
7. C。recommend/ demand/ propose/ require 等后接宾语从句时,用虚拟语气:(should) +动词原形。
8. D。 缺空处需填一个形容词。quick表示“动作敏捷”,强调时间短。fast更多地用于人的移动或反应。rapid更多地用于动作,强调“速度惊人”。如: a fast typist (动作迅速的打字员); rapid progress (快速进步);a quick reply (迅速答复)。
9. A。product“产品”;production“生产、产量”;productive是形容词,不合题意;producer“生产者”。
10. C。考查make use of短语。
11. C。考查时态。问句是“会上怎么没看到你啊?”答语中的时态应该用过去进行时。
12. B。 historical 是指“历史上的”、“与历史有关的”(concerned with history)。如:a historical event (历史事件), 是指有历史证据来证明其存在的事件。 Historic是指“具有历史意义的”、“历史上著名的”(important in history) 。如:a historic document (历史文件), a historic city (历史城市)。
13. C。疾病使她一点力气也没有了。weak是形容词,不合题意。power、strength、force均可用作不可数名词,均有“力量”的含义,但意义不尽相同。power一般指干某事或某方面的能力,常用句型为: have the power of + n. / to do sth., 也可指(政治或社会的)影响力。force一般指外力(如the force of a blow)、心智之力、大自然之力等。strength常指体内的力量。
14. B。考查短语用法。first of all意为“首先”。in the mass意为“总体上;一般说来”。on the other hand意为“另一方面”。generally speaking意为“一般说来”,用作插入语,后加逗号。故选B。
15. D。by all means 意为“当然可以;没问题”。选项B改为“Yes, you can / may”,也可入选。选项A、C的回答极不礼貌。
16. A。due to sb. / sth.意为“由某人/某事引起的”;“由于某人/ 某事”。因此第一空应为was due to,句意为:事故是由于粗心驾驶造成的。 第二空意为“应支付”即was due to,所以答案为A。
17. C。考查介词。这里without意为“在没有(或缺少)……的情况下”。
18. D。carry on:继续,进行。carry over:继续下去……,将……延后。carry off:夺走,拿走。carry our:实施,执行。根据题意,考查see sth. done 结构。
19. B。本题主要考查词汇意义的辨析。选项A指物体的长度。选项B指两地的距离。选项C指道路,方法。选项D指两物体间的空间。根据句子的意思,美国总统们的面孔可在六十英里的地方被看见,于是本题的正确答案选B。
20. B。in addition“加之,另外,又”,相对于basic salary “基础工资”,还能得到“额外”的旅游费用。totally和in all均表示 “总共,合计”。gradually“逐渐地”。
III. 1. The flowers slowly opened up in the warmth of the sun.
2. The Chinese goods are coming onto the market in large quantities.
3. He saved the kid at the risk of his own life.
4. There’s little probability of reaching London tonight.

IV.
1. C。文章第一段和最后一段说尿床是可以避免的。
2. A。由文章第四段可知,部分原因是由于大脑没有发出让孩子醒来的原因。
3. D。本句话的意思是“通常的做法就是用警钟,当这种警钟感觉到潮湿时,它们就会发出声音”。因此,they应该指的是警钟alarm。
4. B。文中最后一段指出有两种避免尿床的现像,第一种已作了简单的解释,而第二种只是说出观点而已,因此紧跟着就是要进一步地解释。
5. A。观点态度题。从文章第一句中 “The coolest idea” (极酷的想法)可知,作者对于refrigeration这一治疗中风的新疗法的赞许之情。
6. B。概括归纳题。第四段通过小孩落水后的奇迹说明了冷冻对于人体生理机能的作用,从侧面阐述了refrigeration这一疗法的原理。
7. D。推理判断题。文中只有在第五段提到了美国,将注意力集中于该段可知:美国中风病人的治疗情况是作为例证来说明其前半句的论点的,即冷冻疗法仍被大多数人认为是危险的。
8. C。综合推理题。从文章倒数第二段“Now, supported by fresh science and new technology ...”一句可知,新科技在现代医学中的促进作用。

Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia (痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷尔蒙) , U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.
Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s (早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.
“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy (怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen (雌激素), which we know has many neuron-protective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said.
“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”
Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.
“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.
“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant — that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations (改变) to the brain.”
1. A How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?
A. Some researchers have told them. B. Many women say so.
C. They know it by experimenting on rats. D. They know it through their own experience.
2. A What does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?
A. Baby rats. B. Animals. C. Old rats. D. Grown-up rats.
3. A What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?
A. Estrogen. B. The hormones of pregnancy.
C. More exercise. D. Taking care of children.
4. B What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 suggest?
A. The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.
B. The experiments on the rats are very important for animals.
C. The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.
D. The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.
5.B Which title is the best for this passage?
A. Do You Want to Be Smarter? B. Motherhood Makes Women Smarter
C. Mysterious Hormones D. An Important Study

I. BACDB AABDB BDCCB ADDAB
1.B。题意:“消息传开,地震将在天亮之前到来”。get round在这里的意思是“传开”。
2.A。break into在此表示“突然做出某种动作”,break up的意思是“拆散,中止(关系);解散”等;come down是不及物动词词组,不可能后接宾语;cut off指“切断(供应);(在通话中)切断(某人)的电话”。
3.C。carry on在这里是“继续下去”的意思。A有一定干扰性。carry out也有“进行、开展”的意思,然而carry on为不及物动词,而carry out为及物动词。
4.D。题意:“当你听一首特殊的歌或—段音乐时,旧的回忆经常被勾起”。call up意思是“征召(服役),召唤,传 (讯),使人想起,提出(议案等);打电话给”;call on意思是“号召,呼吁,请求,约请”;call in有“召集,召来,招请,收回,来访”等意;call out有“出动,唤起,引起,大声叫出来”等意。
5.B。care for在这里是“喜欢”的意思。也可以用be interested in,be pleased with,be fond of。因此其它答案不正确。
6.A。turn away (from somebody)“不理睬(某人)”;turn to“转身面对(某人);向某人求助”;turn up“开大;出现”,turn against“背叛(某人)”。
7.A。题意:“广场非常大,成百上千辆车停在那里,还有地方空出来”。spare在这里是“空出,抽出(时间)”等,spend意思是“花费”;store“储存”;save“节省”。因此B、C、D不合题意。
8.B。题意:“这所大学计划提供更多英语课,以满足英语初学者的要求”。meet在这里是“满足、符合”的意思。supply意思是“提供”,因此C不合题意。
9. D。find out意思是“查看,弄明白”;see to意思是“处理应付”;look up意思是“查寻(单词等),参考”。因此B、C不合题意。
10.B。take in有“改小”的意思。如:This coat needs to be taken in a bit.;let out有“释放,泄露;放大(衣服)”等意思;let in意思是“让(某人)进来”;take out有“取走、取出”的意思,因此其它答案不合题意。
11.B。cut down在这里是“减少”的意思;pull back有“拖回”的意思;turn down意思是“拒绝,翻下,调低”put away意思是“把……保存好”。
12.D。词义辨析题。look for意思是“寻找”;watch on无此短语;watch out意思是“小心,当心”;watch out for意思是“看守,照看”。
13.C。turn out在这里意思是“变得,证明是,结果是”,为连系动词;turn on意思是“打开”;turn to意思是“参考,转向,求助于”。
14.C。get over意思是“爬过,克服,熬过,恢复”;get in“进入,插入,收获”;get along意思是“进展,进行”;get through意思是“通过(议案等),到达,打通(电话)”等。本句的意思是“不必知道每个单词的确切含义,读者就可进行得十分顺利。”
15.B。本句的意思是“期望来二十人,但只有十人来了”。turn up在这里是“出现,露面”的意思,turn round意思是“转身,转变”;turn in有“上交”的意思。
16.A。bring out在这里的意思是“产生”;bring up意思是“教育,抚养”;bring to意思是“恢复,使停下”。因此其它答案不合题意。
17.D。come from表示“来源”,A、B、C选项的动词都为及物动词。
18.D。given to dance classes为过去分词短语作定语,相当于that was given to dance classes,意思是“分给舞蹈课的时间”。
19.A。从下句的答语我们可以看出,第一个人问“她花这么多钱做什么了?”,表示“花费”的几个动词的搭配是这样的:sb. spend some money on sth.;sb. pay some money for sth.;sb. buy sth. with some money。故A为正确答案。
20.B。look back在这里是“回顾”的意思;turn back有“转身”的意思,因此B为最佳答案。
II. CCDCC DACBB BCAAB ADABB
1.C。根据句子语境,商店销售量下降,所以要裁员。lay off sb.“解雇(某人)(通常为短期)”;lay down“贮存;放弃某事物”;lay sb. out“打昏某人”;lay aside“把某物放在一边,放弃”。
2.C。bring out的意思是“发挥(才华、个性等)”,和题干中的character相搭配;bring in表示“搬进,获利”等;bring up表示“养育(婴孩),吐出”等;bring about表示“导致,引起(事故)”等,均与题意不符。
3.D。词组make use of,表示“……发现怎么利用这种材料”。
4.C。首先要明确share作名词有“股份”意,与stock同意思。因为外国公司买下了股份,所以继而就接收了这个公司,take over是“承担、接管”之意,其中over是副词,因此选C不选D。
5.C。因为不剩beer了,酒馆都关门了,所以你不得不将就了。go without是固定词组:“在缺少……的情况下勉强对付过去,没有也行”。
6.D。keep up意为“振作”,区别于keep up with,不与for连用。take up“占据空间;接替管理”, make up“化妆”,make up for“弥补”。只有D项符合题意。故选D。
7.A。由第二空即可排除其它三项。the business department是部门,地方,所以须用call at,或drop in at;call on和drop in on后跟表示人的名词或代词。pick up“知道,偶然了解到,不经意间学会”。
8.C。come up with在口语中可表示“想出、找出(答案、计划)”,在句中最合适。catch up with “追上、赶上”;keep up with“与……保持一致,不落后于……”;put up with“忍受、忍耐”。
9.B。contribute to“有助于,成为……的原因,对……有贡献”,后跟结果。result from“因为……”,后跟原因;attend to“注意”。attend有时有“伴随”之意,但结果应在前面。如:Great danger attends the experiment,“那实验很危险”;devote to献身于、致力于”。
10.B。“pickup”表示“偶然发现、得到;不经意间学会”,此题表示“无意中得到许多坏习惯”;A表示“继续、保持”;C项表示“使停止/拉起、拉上/拟定(文件 / 计划)”:D项“catch up with”表示“赶上、跟上”。
11.B。B项turn sb. off为“使某人厌烦”;A项turn over表示“使打翻/ 移交/ 把……逐件检查/ 反复考虑”;C项表示“拒绝某人”;D项表示“生产、制造、培养”。此句意为“我真烦她,她老是半夜发出很大的声音,当我提醒她时,她总是说脏话”。
12.C。pick on在这里的意思是“欺负(人),批评 (人)”,和句意相符,A项的意思是“漏(写),忽 视”;B项表示“发射(枪、炮)”等;“免除(处罚)”;D项表示“出现,把……开大”等含义。
13.A。come across“偶然遇到”。“由于他的车遇到了交通堵塞,所以不得不取消了与医生的约会”。come along“随同,一起”;come between“介入……之间,妨碍”;come on“跟随”。
14.A。A项表示“大略地浏览一下”,B项表示“(详细地)调查,温习”;C项表示“向上看,查阅”;D项表示“照料,修理”。
15.B。根据句意此处应该是“仔细检查所有细节,以确保工程顺利进行”.go through是个多义词组,意为“详细调查,对……仔细查看;搜遍某个地点,通过法律”等等;get through也是多义词组,有“通过考试;做完,取得联系”等;get over “越过,渡过;克服(困难)”;dip into“蘸到……里面”。
16.A。pick up“了解、听说”。
17.D。get over “克服困难,自(疾病、惊恐、损害中)恢复”;get away“离开,逃走”;get off“由……下来,结束工作”,get on“登上,相处”。

Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practised in China and other Eastern countries for thousands of years. Although often described as a means of pain relief, it is in fact used to treat people with a wide range of illnesses. Its focus is on improving the overall well being of the patient, rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms. According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health is dependent on the body’s motivating energy — known as Qi —moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of meridians (channels) beneath the skin.
Qi consists of equal and opposite qualities —Yin and Yang — and when these become unbalanced, illness may result. By inserting fine needles into the channels of energy, an acupuncturist can stimulate the body’s own healing response and help restore its natural balance. The flow of Qi can be disturbed by a number of factors. These include emotional states such as anxiety, stress, anger, fear or grief, poor nutrition, weather conditions, hereditary factors, infections, poisons or trauma. The principal aim of acupuncture in treating the whole person is to recover the equilibrium between the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual.
2.
Several processes have been proposed to explain acupuncture’s effects, primarily those on pain. Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) to release chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals either change the experience of pain or release other chemicals, such as hormones, that influence the body’s self-regulating systems. The biochemical changes may stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being.
3.
Many people come to acupuncturists for help with specific symptoms or conditions. These might include anxiety states, arthritis (关节炎), asthma (哮喘), back pain, circulatory problems, depression, facial paralysis (面部瘫痪), fibrositis (肌风湿病), high blood pressure, indeterminate aches and pains, infertility, menstrual problems, migraines (偏头痛), rheumatism (风湿病), sciatica (坐骨神经痛), skin conditions or ulcers (溃疡).
Acupuncture is a safe treatment for all, although for babies and children, pressure rather than needles may be used. Acupuncture has proved to be effective in pregnancy management and for the relief of pain in childbirth. It is also helpful for people trying to overcome addictions such as those related to smoking, alcohol, food or drugs. Some people may have acupuncture as a preventive measure to strengthen their constitution, or because they feel unwell in themselves without being 'ill' in the Western sense. It can also be used alongside conventional medicine in the treatment of both acute and chronic disease. As with any therapy, the response to acupuncture can differ from one person to another.
4.
Each patient is unique. The number and frequency of treatments will vary from patient to patient. Some symptoms are relieved after the first treatment, while others may take four to ten treatments. While a specific problem is being worked on, you may visit your acupuncturist once or twice a week, and gradually reduce the frequency to once or twice a month. To simply maintain good health, you may limit your treatments to once every season - four times a year.
5.
To enhance (增强) the value of a treatment, the following guidelines are important:
※ Do not eat an unusually large meal immediately before or after your treatment.
※ Do not over-exercise, engage in sexual activity, or consume alcoholic beverages within 6 hours before or after the treatment.
※ Plan your activities so that after the treatment you can get some rest, or at least not have to be working at top-performance level. This is especially important for the first few visits.
※ Continue to take any prescription medicines as directed by your regular doctor. Substance abuse (drugs and alcohol) especially in the week prior to treatment, will seriously interfere with the effectiveness of acupuncture treatments.
※ Remember to keep good mental or written notes of what your response is to the treatment. This is important for your doctor to know so that the follow-up treatments can be designed to best help you and your problem.
(A) How Many Treatments Will I Need
(B) What to Expect During Your Treatment
(C) What is Acupuncture
(D) What Does It Feel Like
(E) How Does Acupuncture Work
(G) How can Acupuncture help
(H) Any “Do’s And Don’ts” on the Day of a Treatment

V. 阅读理解(每题2分,共10分)
If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have.
Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment. Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal (叙旧,更新) with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.
Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!
Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count onto help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?
If you haven’t seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?
If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is because you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities (优先考虑的事) in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?
If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed became you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?
Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you.
If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.
1. A The author mainly discusses _______________in this passage.
A. how to balance friendship and work B. how to spend our spare time
C. whether we should keep friendship D. whether we should invite friends to dinner
2. A Which of the following doesn’t indicate a good relationship?

3. B What does the underlined word “delegated” (para.7) probably mean?

A. you spend too much time seeking material toys in your life
B. you feel it difficult to keep friendship

6. pulsing 7. relief 8. stained 9. wrist 10. overeating
III.
1. B。考查交际用语。You can’t be serious!意为“你不是在开玩笑吧!”
2. C。考查冠词。发烧 “have / run a temperature”,temperature前要有a。第二空illness表示前面提到的病,故用定冠词the。treatment作“治疗”时,是不可数名词。又如: be under treatment (在接受治疗)。
3. A。考查短语动词。let out意为“放出;发出;泄漏(秘密);放宽(衣服)”,这里指“不留神说出;泄漏(秘密)”。make out意为“勉强分辨出;理解;(事物)顺利进行”,不合题意。
4. D。 point在这里指“时刻,关键时刻;临近时刻”,引导定语从句时关系副词用when。又如:There will come to a point when computers will be able to detect smells in the future. (将来总有一天计算机能够觉察气味)。point有时也可指“要点,问题所在;地步,程度”,这时引导定语从句关系副词用where。如:He has reached the point where nothing seems to be important any more. (他已经到了一切都似乎无所谓的地步。)
5. A。考查短语动词。look for这里指“期待”。call for意为“需要”。take up意为“从事;占有”。 give up意为“放弃”。
6. B。 base … on … 意为“把……建立在……的基础上”。根据题意:base our thinking on actual knowledge。on which引导的不定式短语在句中作定语。
7. C。考查动词。promote促进,增进,助长。句意时:两国之间文化的交流增进了两国人民的了解和友谊。
8. C。句意为“他总是精力充沛,仿佛从不知道疲劳”。strength意为“力量、力气”。energy为“精力、干劲、能量”。force是“力、力量、影响力”的意思。spirit用复数形式,意为“情绪、精神”。根据题意选C。
9. C。根据题意应用被动语态,排除A、D。而B用closed不准确,应用were blocked“被阻塞”。
10. B。本题主要考查形容词的意义、用法区别。从句做主语时,不能用sure做表语,从而排除A;aloud,loudly是描述性副词,不能做表语:故本题答案选B。
11. B。develop意为“使人/ 物发展成为……”。句意为:新鲜的空气和锻炼能够使人身体健康。
12. B。本题主要考查对句子逻辑的理解。根据前后两个句子的意思,演讲时,美国人用笑话开头,而日本人用道歉开头,表示对比关系,于是,句子间用while,因此,本题的正确答案选B。
13. C。选项A表达不正确,应为most of the people。 B不与people连用,表示“……一部分”,常用a great part of。D作主语,谓语应用单数形式。答案为C。
14. A。suggest“暗示着,意味着”。此句意为“东边天空发白,预示着这场暴雨很快就会过去”。
15. C。情态动词should在这里意为“竟然;居然”,表示惊讶。

答案
I. DCACA CACBB
II. ADBAD AADAA BACCD CBADB AABCC
1.A。keep out“留在外面,不要进入”;keep away“远离,避开,不靠近”,keep off“不接近,不接触”;keep up“保持”。该告示为“不经允许请勿进入”。
2.D。hold up有“阻挡,阻碍”之意,其它均为干扰项。
3.B。break down在此指情绪失去控制;break away指脱离某种关系或挣脱束缚;break out指事件的突然爆发,主语不能是表示“人”的词语。
4.A。hold up“阻塞,阻挡”;break off“打断,断绝,结束”;keep up“保持”;put off“推迟,取消”。该句意为“大雾阻挡了校车”。
5.D。本句应该理清原因和结果方可选准选项,“失败通常源于懒惰而勤勉可以通向成功”,B和C前句的因果方向有误,A的后句因果方向有误。
6.A。此处give out译为“筋疲力尽,用尽力气”,全句译为:长途后,我的双腿已筋疲力尽,不能再走了,而give off为“出发,放出”;give in为“屈服”;give up为“放弃”.
7.A。work out为“制定出来’.carry out为 “实施”,译为:既然计划已经制定出了,我们就必须实施它。
8.D。Hold on为电话用语,Carry out为“贯彻,实施”,Speed up为“加速”,此处译为:继续告诉我们。我们都急于想知道这个故事怎样收尾。Go ahead为“继续”。
9.A。 take up + 空间、时间等;take over接管、接任;take on呈现、具有;take away拿走、带走。
10.A。keep up指雨、雪、好天气等持续不停, “pick up”等则无此意。
11.B。light up one’s face “使她的脸容光焕发”,固定搭配。
12.A。put off “推迟”;get off “从车、马上下来”;set off “出发、动身”;leave off “停止、中断”。选A意为“我们已经邀请布朗夫妇吃晚饭,但因为孩子病了,我们不得不推迟”。
13.C。这是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词为the job,从句中缺少谓语,call for = need,意为“需要”。
14.C。keep an eye on sb. / sth.是固定词组,意思是“留心或注童某人某物”。
15.D。remind sb后接that从句;remind sb of后接something不接从句。因此,正确选项为D。
16.C。“没有得到那份职位,约翰很沮丧,但他会克服的”。get over“(使)度过、越过;克服,战胜;完成”;get down“(从……)下来;咽下;写下:使沮丧”;get off“(从……)下来;脱下:动身;起飞”。
17.B。send ... for ... 意为“派人去请(叫)”,在此用的是被动形式。
18.A。come about“发生”,句中it是形式主语,that从句是真正主语。全句意为“我不知道他们怎么取得这么大的进步”。come out“出来,显现,开花”;come on“跟随,到来”;come up“上升,发芽”。
19.D。add to相当于increase,意思是“增加”;make up的童思是“构成;化妆:虚构”;lead to的意思是“导致某种后果”;take over表示“接管”。
20.B。pick up有“使健康恢复,变好”之意;take up“从事,占据”;carry up干扰项;make up“弥补,化妆”。
21.A。pay的宾语经常是所付的款,pay for的宾语是付账的东西、对象、服务等,如pay the bill;pay for him;pay him to do sth.。
22.A。put up with“容忍”。“学习的时候,我可以忍受一些噪声,但太大的噪声会让我受不了”。
23.B。talk sb. into sth. 或talk sb. into doing意为“劝说某人做某事”;shall表示推断,“定会”。
24.C。set aside“拨出,保留,忽视,不顾,放在一边”,例如: I try to set aside a few minutes each day to do some exercises.我每天腾出一会儿时间锻炼身体。set off“动身,启程,引爆,使开始”;set out“动身,启程,着手(做等等)”。
25.C。句中who had been thought highly of为The actress的定语从句,所以所填内容为主句谓语,排除B、D;turn down为“降低音量,拒绝某人”,不合语意;turn out意思是“证明是……,结果是……”,切合语意。

IV. One possible version:
Recently we have held a class meeting to discuss what is considered to be honorable behavior and what is shameful. To be frank, some students don’t respect their teachers or parents. Some don’t take their studies seriously and cheat in exams. Still some litter around, making the school dirty.
It is really a pity to see all these behaviors in our schoo1. We think it honorable to obey the law and rules and care much about our class. It is also worthy of praise to study hard. On the other hand, it is shameful to break school rules, to be selfish or to make little effort to achieve success.
I think we should do something to improve the present situation. Firstly, set ourselves a goal and work hard to achieve our ambitions. Secondly, respect others and think more of others than of ourselves. In addition, we should try hard to keep the environment clean.

“I see,” was all he said.
One day, there was something wrong with my father’s truck. So he needed a 9 to work.
The sun wasn’t even up when we left the house, 10 it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a 11 day. As I dropped my dad off, I 12 him, dressed in his work clothes, getting his 13 from the trunk (车尾箱) of my car. Watching his sun-weathered face, and even from a distance I could tell there were 14 lines than I ever remembered being there before. I realized how hard my dad works for his family. My father is a cement finisher (水泥休整工).
In that instant, it 15 to me that he actually got down on his hands and knees to sweat over hot concrete to make a living for his family. And he did this 16 , no matter how hot it got. Never, not once, had I heard him 17 about it. To him we were “worth” it. And never once did he “charge” us for it.
When he closed the trunk, his tools set off to the side, he walked over to my window to 18 me five dollars. I rolled down the window and said , “Good-bye, dad. Keep your five dollars. It’s 19 me. Don’t work too hard. I love you.”

Half-Truths
Be aware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this method. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
1. B Which statement is true according to the article?
A. You can’t trust doctors. B. All governors help their states.
C. The truth can be used in dishonest ways. D. Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying.
2. A The underlined word “deceive” mean “______________”.
A. prove what they know is untrue B. cause someone to accept as true
C. force you to believe something D. pay no attention to
3. A The author clearly wants people to ______________.
A. never trust anyone B. vote for female candidates
C. think carefully about what they read and hear D. wear mismatched socks during political campaigns
4. B Another possible title for this selection would be _______________.
A. Nose Pimples B. Everyone Lies
C. Natural Cat Food D. Lying With the Truth
