请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In today’s world, almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are harmful to people’s health. However, not all the persons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.
People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave（织） cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people’s life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad.
It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels（分贝） can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.
In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problems.
56. The passage is mainly about ______ .
A. air pollution B. water pollution C. noise pollution D. world pollution
57. According to the passage, a continuous noise of _______decibels can make people deaf.
A. less than 85 B. less than 65 C. about 65 D. more than 85
58. 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened because _______ .
A. they are working in noisy places B. they often listen to pop music
C. they live near airports D. they are too busy to listen to others’talk
59. The government of China is trying to reduce ______.
A. only the air pollution B. only the air and water pollution
C. only the water pollution D.the air, water and noise pollution
B
No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “ a criticism of life”, and “ a heightening(提升) of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
60. To have a better understanding of a poem, one should_________.
A. discuss it with others B. analyze it by oneself
C. copy it down in a notebook D. practise reading it aloud
61. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a fun_ction of poetry? ____________
A. Extending your life. B. Saving your life
C. Criticizing life D. Heightening life
62. According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students ______________.
A. to understand life B. to enjoy poetry
C. to become teachers D. to become poets
63. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? _________
A. More stress was laid on the understanding of poetry in the past.
B. Poetry is more important than any other subject.
C. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.
Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.
C
Childhood was an illusion (错觉) and the illusion was this: everything was bigger. No, I mean everything, not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and journeys, especially journeys which seemed endless. “Are we there yet, Daddy?”
Funfairs (游乐场) were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being a grown-up yourself was an unthinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain unbearable.
As I’ve grown old, life has become smaller. Tastes have dulled. Surprises have turned into shocks. Days go by unnoticed. How can I regain childhood when it was an illusion?
I have only one repeatable and wonderful way and even in this way I can regain only part of that larger world. I can play upon the stage like a child and make the crowd laugh and laugh with them, sometimes helplessly like a child, and then, even though I’m a sixty-one-year-old man, I can almost catch the colors and sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little.
64. How does the author feel about his childhood?
A. It was endless. B. It was unpleasant.
C. He is glad that it is over. D. He misses it as a grown-up
65. The author thinks that everything was bigger in childhood because .
A. children could not make proper judgments.
B. children were curious and eager about life
C. things appeared really big in children’s eyes
D. to grow up seemed so long for children
66. The world seems to have become smaller to the author because .
A. life is disappointing B. time goes by too fast
C. he has had too many surprises D. foods no longer taste delicious
67. The author enjoys playing on the stage so as to .
A. act like a child B. live an unusual life
C. make the crowd laugh D. regain his childhood

E
Dr Kimsma ,from the Netherlands, believes that euthanasia（安乐死）is not simply a
question of ending someone’s life. The important thing is how that person’s life ends. If someone chooses enthanasia, he doesn’t have to think about the worry, and the suffering only. He can also focus （集中在）on the things he really wants to do, such as taking a last trip, or making up a fight with someone in the family, or saying goodbye. The pressure on that person becomes lighter when he knows he won’t have to go on suffering long. Often, people who have chosen euthanasia have such peace of mind that they die naturally, “ If I ended the life of a patient because I had not given him good care ,I would feel ashamed and guilty,” he said.
Dr Kimsma admits that in the case of euthanasia there is a conflict(冲突) between his goals
as a doctor: saving life and helping those who are suffering. He believes that helping people is the morally right thing to do.” My patient can be sure that I will not let them suffer unnecessarily alone. That is just my goal and duty as a doctor.” He says he can only continue to perform euthanasia because it is something that happens very rarely.
Dr Ravenscroft, a medical professor in Australia, holds that euthanasia is wrong. He believes that when people have an incurable illness, they should be given care that lessens their pain and suffering and helps them to feel less afraid. He says that such care should improve the quality of a person’s life, even in the very last part of his life, without bringing death. Dr Ravenscroft suggests that a patient should be given a drug to help him sleep for the last few days of his life, if nothing else will help him.
Ravenscroft says, “ Life is a great mystery. We take part in all of life including dying, but we are not masters of it.”
Besides, if euthanasia is lawful, it may be easier to choose death instead of continuing to look for a better treatment. He fears that people can be persuaded to choose euthanasia when they do not really want to.
72. Which of the following is Not Dr Kimsma’s opinion?
A. People may die peacefully in euthanasia because they feel less pressure.
B. Euthanasia allows people to focus on important personal things in the last part of their lives.
C. It is wrong to give up looking for a better treatment for an incurable disease.
D. It is wrong to let a patient suffer when the disease is beyond cure.
73. According to Dr Kimsma , when the two goals of a doctor conflict,_____
A. saving life of those who are sick should come first.
B. helping people who are suffering should come first.
C. it is up to his patient to make a decision.
D. the solution varies according to the situation.
74. Dr Ravenscroft is against euthanasia . One of his reasons is that _______.
A. nobody really wants to end his own life .
B. saving life is the only goal for a doctor .
C. care given to people having incurable diseases can make them live longer.
D. people can be given painkillers and drugs to make them suffer less.
75. By “ we are not masters of it” , Dr Ravenscroft means _______.
A. we have no right to end a person’s life . B. we can never tell what will happen to us.
C. life is as mysterious as death. D. life is always beyond our knowledge .

Dear Dr Helper,
I am a Senior 3 student. I am now in great need of your help because I can hardly stand the great pressure. Every day, I have to stay at school for nine hours to have lessons and spend at least three to four hours doing my homework at home. We teenagers are eager to play and enjoy ourselves, but we hardly have any time to do what we like. Besides, we don’t have enough sleep.
There seems to be three causes for the overload: the pressure of examinations, too much homework and the high expectations from the parents. We are often warned that if we didn’t try our best, we would not have the chance to go to university.
I write this letter only to wish that I could have someone to talk to. I am looking forward to your advice.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Yong

A
In today’s world, almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are harmful to people’s health. However, not all the persons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.
People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave（织） cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people’s life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad.
It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels（分贝） can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.
In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problems.
56. The passage is mainly about ______ .
A. air pollution B. water pollution C. noise pollution D. world pollution
57. According to the passage, a continuous noise of _______decibels can make people deaf.
A. less than 85 B. less than 65 C. about 65 D. more than 85
58. 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened because _______ .
A. they are working in noisy places B. they often listen to pop music
C. they live near airports D. they are too busy to listen to others’talk
59. The government of China is trying to reduce ______.
A. only the air pollution B. only the air and water pollution
C. only the water pollution D.the air, water and noise pollution
B
No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “ a criticism of life”, and “ a heightening(提升) of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
60. To have a better understanding of a poem, one should_________.
A. discuss it with others B. analyze it by oneself
C. copy it down in a notebook D. practise reading it aloud
61. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a fun_ction of poetry? ____________
A. Extending your life. B. Saving your life
C. Criticizing life D. Heightening life
62. According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students ______________.
A. to understand life B. to enjoy poetry
C. to become teachers D. to become poets
63. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? _________
A. More stress was laid on the understanding of poetry in the past.
B. Poetry is more important than any other subject.
C. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.
Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.

Childhood was an illusion (错觉) and the illusion was this: everything was bigger. No, I mean everything, not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and journeys, especially journeys which seemed endless. “Are we there yet, Daddy?”
Funfairs (游乐场) were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being a grown-up yourself was an unthinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain unbearable.
As I’ve grown old, life has become smaller. Tastes have dulled. Surprises have turned into shocks. Days go by unnoticed. How can I regain childhood when it was an illusion?
I have only one repeatable and wonderful way and even in this way I can regain only part of that larger world. I can play upon the stage like a child and make the crowd laugh and laugh with them, sometimes helplessly like a child, and then, even though I’m a sixty-one-year-old man, I can almost catch the colors and sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little.
64. How does the author feel about his childhood?
A. It was endless. B. It was unpleasant.
C. He is glad that it is over. D. He misses it as a grown-up
65. The author thinks that everything was bigger in childhood because .
A. children could not make proper judgments.
B. children were curious and eager about life
C. things appeared really big in children’s eyes
D. to grow up seemed so long for children
66. The world seems to have become smaller to the author because .
A. life is disappointing B. time goes by too fast
C. he has had too many surprises D. foods no longer taste delicious
67. The author enjoys playing on the stage so as to .
A. act like a child B. live an unusual life
C. make the crowd laugh D. regain his childhood

Dr Kimsma ,from the Netherlands, believes that euthanasia（安乐死）is not simply a
question of ending someone’s life. The important thing is how that person’s life ends. If someone chooses enthanasia, he doesn’t have to think about the worry, and the suffering only. He can also focus （集中在）on the things he really wants to do, such as taking a last trip, or making up a fight with someone in the family, or saying goodbye. The pressure on that person becomes lighter when he knows he won’t have to go on suffering long. Often, people who have chosen euthanasia have such peace of mind that they die naturally, “ If I ended the life of a patient because I had not given him good care ,I would feel ashamed and guilty,” he said.
Dr Kimsma admits that in the case of euthanasia there is a conflict(冲突) between his goals
as a doctor: saving life and helping those who are suffering. He believes that helping people is the morally right thing to do.” My patient can be sure that I will not let them suffer unnecessarily alone. That is just my goal and duty as a doctor.” He says he can only continue to perform euthanasia because it is something that happens very rarely.
Dr Ravenscroft, a medical professor in Australia, holds that euthanasia is wrong. He believes that when people have an incurable illness, they should be given care that lessens their pain and suffering and helps them to feel less afraid. He says that such care should improve the quality of a person’s life, even in the very last part of his life, without bringing death. Dr Ravenscroft suggests that a patient should be given a drug to help him sleep for the last few days of his life, if nothing else will help him.
Ravenscroft says, “ Life is a great mystery. We take part in all of life including dying, but we are not masters of it.”
Besides, if euthanasia is lawful, it may be easier to choose death instead of continuing to look for a better treatment. He fears that people can be persuaded to choose euthanasia when they do not really want to.
72. Which of the following is Not Dr Kimsma’s opinion?
A. People may die peacefully in euthanasia because they feel less pressure.
B. Euthanasia allows people to focus on important personal things in the last part of their lives.
C. It is wrong to give up looking for a better treatment for an incurable disease.
D. It is wrong to let a patient suffer when the disease is beyond cure.
73. According to Dr Kimsma , when the two goals of a doctor conflict,_____
A. saving life of those who are sick should come first.
B. helping people who are suffering should come first.
C. it is up to his patient to make a decision.
D. the solution varies according to the situation.
74. Dr Ravenscroft is against euthanasia . One of his reasons is that _______.
A. nobody really wants to end his own life .
B. saving life is the only goal for a doctor .
C. care given to people having incurable diseases can make them live longer.
D. people can be given painkillers and drugs to make them suffer less.
75. By “ we are not masters of it” , Dr Ravenscroft means _______.
A. we have no right to end a person’s life . B. we can never tell what will happen to us.
C. life is as mysterious as death. D. life is always beyond our knowledge .

Dear Dr Helper,
I am a Senior 3 student. I am now in great need of your help because I can hardly stand the great pressure. Every day, I have to stay at school for nine hours to have lessons and spend at least three to four hours doing my homework at home. We teenagers are eager to play and enjoy ourselves, but we hardly have any time to do what we like. Besides, we don’t have enough sleep.
There seems to be three causes for the overload: the pressure of examinations, too much homework and the high expectations from the parents. We are often warned that if we didn’t try our best, we would not have the chance to go to university.
I write this letter only to wish that I could have someone to talk to. I am looking forward to your advice.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Yong
