第三部分：阅读理解A
Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero
Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.
A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.
Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.
The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for what would be heroes is what or whom do they serve What are they willing to live and die for If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life richer
Heroes are catalysts(催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountain top. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.
1. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they _____________________.
A. generally process certain inspiring characteristics B. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people
C. are often influenced by previous generations D. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans
2.Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who ___________ .
A. are good at demonstrating their charming characters B. can move the masses with their forceful speeches
C. are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships D. can provide an answer to the problems of their people
3.The author concludes that historical changes would ________ .
A. be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualities
B. not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrifices
C. take place if there were heroes to lead the people D. produce leaders with attractive personalities
. B
Gene technology to benefit people
Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary(遗传的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.
4. What does "these two killers" in the second paragraph refer to
A. gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases. B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby
C. The two diseases of cancer and heart disease D. Hereditary diseases and cancer
5. What's the main idea of the third paragraph
A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.
B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
C. Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.
D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out
6.In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases
A. Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.
B. Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.
C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.
D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.
7.What is the main purpose of writing this passage
A. Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit people
B. Telling people the advantages of gene technology
C. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people
D. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity
C
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 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 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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 .
D
Have you ever felt your mind falling into disorder after a sleepless night You couldn't come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried.
You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep. Dr Horne, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. One group got their normal eight hours of sleep. The other group didn't get the smallest amount of sleep—they stayed awake all night. The next day, Dr Horne tested the students. He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking. One of the questions was "How many uses can a cardboard box be put to "
The result The wide—awake students did well on the test. The tired students did poorly.
Research has already shown that tired people can do OK on tests of habitual thinking, like simple addition. But Dr Horne tested creative thinking only.
As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the sleepy students if they did well. But even this encouragement wasn't enough to help the students conquer their tiredness. They did poorly. Dr Horne believes that the part of the brain where thinking takes place may get worn out during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair the brain. Without any sleep, he emphasizes, "Even if you pay closer attention, you cannot do better."
This study gives people something to think about, especially people like hospital workers who must stay awake all night and then make quick decisions.
12、It can be known from the passage that lack of sleep may ___________.
A、be a cause of some serious diseases B、cause one to lose his ability to calculate
C、do harm to one's power of usual thinking D、weaken one's power of usual thinking
13、Which of the following statements is supposed by the passage
A、Hospital workers can think well in spite of sleep.
B、People cannot work well without good sleep.
C、Those who are used to keeping awake all night do not like to sleep more hours.
D、Those who cannot sleep well day and night are all learned men.
14、Probably who will not show great interest in this research result
A、Anybody B、Doctors C、Nurses D、Students
15、Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A、An Experiment on 24 College Students B、Dr Horne, A Sleep Researcher
C、Encouragement and Results D、Sleep and Original Thinking

Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.
1. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they _____________________.
A. generally process certain inspiring characteristics B. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people
C. are often influenced by previous generations D. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans
2.Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who ___________ .
A. are good at demonstrating their charming characters B. can move the masses with their forceful speeches

Gene technology to benefit people
Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary(遗传的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.
4. What does "these two killers" in the second paragraph refer to
A. gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases. B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby
C. The two diseases of cancer and heart disease D. Hereditary diseases and cancer
5. What's the main idea of the third paragraph
A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.
B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
C. Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.
D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out
6.In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases
A. Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.
B. Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.
C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.
D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.
7.What is the main purpose of writing this passage
A. Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit people
B. Telling people the advantages of gene technology
C. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people
D. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity

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 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 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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 .

Have you ever felt your mind falling into disorder after a sleepless night You couldn't come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried.
You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep. Dr Horne, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. One group got their normal eight hours of sleep. The other group didn't get the smallest amount of sleep—they stayed awake all night. The next day, Dr Horne tested the students. He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking. One of the questions was "How many uses can a cardboard box be put to "
The result The wide—awake students did well on the test. The tired students did poorly.
Research has already shown that tired people can do OK on tests of habitual thinking, like simple addition. But Dr Horne tested creative thinking only.
As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the sleepy students if they did well. But even this encouragement wasn't enough to help the students conquer their tiredness. They did poorly. Dr Horne believes that the part of the brain where thinking takes place may get worn out during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair the brain. Without any sleep, he emphasizes, "Even if you pay closer attention, you cannot do better."
This study gives people something to think about, especially people like hospital workers who must stay awake all night and then make quick decisions.
12、It can be known from the passage that lack of sleep may ___________.
A、be a cause of some serious diseases B、cause one to lose his ability to calculate

14、Probably who will not show great interest in this research result
A、Anybody B、Doctors C、Nurses D、Students
15、Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A、An Experiment on 24 College Students B、Dr Horne, A Sleep Researcher
C、Encouragement and Results D、Sleep and Original Thinking
