18、oy growing up in India, I had longed to travel abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest.My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my f
19、ather was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany.I have clear memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience the
20、m first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew (工作人员). The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is especially afraid of flying.After spending almost two weeks i
21、n Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I had a somber feeling on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation
22、, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.Being the first airline to take me abroad, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today,I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cann

26、ain reason people come to America is said to be that they can chase the American Dream. Everyone has heard of it, and many have died fighting for it. The only thing is that there is no clear definition(定义)of the American Dream. It is not defined by one dream, but by all the opportunities that the Un
27、ited States offers. Since the founding of the United States, people have been striving to define the American Dream. In the play Death of a Salesman, every character is trying to realize his own version of the American Dream. Willy feels that he has done so. He has spent his whole life as a not very
28、 successful salesman. As he gets older, he starts having conflicts with everyone in his life, and feels that only by killing himself will the people around him be able to finally be happy. Bernard, on the other hand, feels that the American Dream can only be achieved through career success. He shows
29、 that through hard work and dedication he will be crowned with success. The dialogue of the characters reveals(显示)the different attitudes they have toward the American Dream, and the reaction of Willy to the fact that Bernard is very successful while he is not. Many people try to achieve the America
30、n Dream, but few actually do so. As with any goal, it takes hard work and dedication to achieve the American Dream. In Death of a Salesman, all aspects of this goal are examined. For the goal to be achieved, the dream must be an attainable (可达到的)one which is worth working toward. It also must be a d

33、cture of the text? A B C DDEverybody needs blood Have you ever seen buses on the street for donating blood? Medical workers on board collect blood from volunteers. The blood is then stored up and given to people who have lost a large amount of it due to accidents or diseases. Blood is one of the mos
34、t important substances (物质) supporting our lives. But for now, the only way we can get more of it is through donation. And donated blood has its own problems. First of all, certain blood types are extremely rare. Type O negative blood (O-), for example, only exists in 7 percent of people, according
35、to Sunday Times. There are fewer donors and therefore there isnt enough of this type of blood for everybody who needs it. In addition, donated blood comes from various people, which means that it has to be examined carefully for disease such as hepatitis (肝炎) and HIV to make sure that its safe for t
36、ransfusion. This is why scientists all over the world have been trying to make blood in labs. And now, someone finally succeededMarc Turner at the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service has produced blood fit for transfusion, reported Forbes. Unlike many other scientists, who have tried to make
37、 blood substitutes by mixing up different ingredients together, Turner chose to grow blood directly from human stem cells (干细胞). He developed a special technique to create a chemical environment similar to that in our bone marrow (骨髓). This environment encourages stem cells to develop fully into red
38、 blood cell. According to Turner, his version of artificial blood is unlikely to contain disease viruses or produce side effects. And the best part is that what he managed to produce was type O- blood. Not only is it a rare blood type, its also a universal type, which means it can be transfused into
39、 any patient. The new blood is scheduled for human tests in 2016. However, Turner stressed that the new study should not be taken as a signal for people to stop donating blood because it could be another 20 years before the artificial blood can be manufactured on a large scale. “It is one thing to b
40、ake a cake and another thing to bake a cake 100 times the size,” said Turner. “Its not just a matter of putting in 100 times the ingredients.”32According to the text, a potential danger of blood transfusion is that_A. blood transfusion may lead to some terrible infections B. it is impossible to stor
41、e up large amounts of bloodC. it is very hard to find matches for certain blood typesD. blood transfusion often leads to serious side effects33The study Marc Turner did is different from the ones of many other scientists in that _.A. he was able to discover the special function of type O- bloodB. he
42、 grew artificial blood using human stem cells C. he produced the first artificial blood in the worldD. he used special ingredients to produce artificial blood cells34We can know from the text that_.A. the artificial blood produced by Turner will be a safe and universal type B. the practice of blood
43、transfusion will end in 20 yearsC. the new blood produced by Turner has been experimented on human beingsD. people with type O- blood can receive blood transfusion from anyone35.Which of the following words best describes Turners attitude towards the application of his artificial blood?A. Pessimisti

71、告诉他,只有眼角膜移植手术他才能重获视力。A. rescue“挽救”;B. keep“保持”;C. catch“捉住”;D. regain“重新获得”。故选D。42由句中的but可知,彼得为提供角膜的人提供了一大笔钱,但是仍然没有得到任何答复。A. response“答复”;B. attention“注意”;C. reward“报酬”;D. benefit“益处”。故选A。43根据上文可知,彼特是一个百万富翁,因此推断彼得因为自己拥有很多财富很骄傲,做了很多不善良的事情。A. health“健康”;B. wealth“财富”;C. luck“幸运”;D. family“家庭”。故选B。44彼得
72、因自己是百万富翁很骄傲,做过许多不善良的事情,因此他名声不好。A. habit“习惯”;B. attitude“态度”;C. reputation“名誉”;D. experience“经验”。故选C。45彼得名声不好,捐献者一听到他的名字,都拒绝了。A. refused“拒绝”;B. accepted“接受”;C. cheered “欢呼”;D. left“离开”。故选A。46根据上文可知,彼得因为有钱很骄傲,因此对没有人愿意给他捐献角膜,起初很生气。A. content“满足的”;B. patient“耐心的”;C. angry“生气的”;D. tired“疲惫的”。故选C。47因为彼得眼睛
73、看不见,所以他摸索着走到医院前面的小广场。A shouldered ones way“挤着往前走”;B. felt ones way “摸索着走”;C. forced ones way“挤过去”;D. pushed ones way“推开(人群)通过”。故选B。48因为彼得眼睛看不见,因此当他抬头欣赏阳光的时候,除了黑暗他什么也看不见。A. clouds“云”;B. birds “鸟”;C. light“光线”;D. darkness “黑暗”。故选D。49根据下文提到的“Dont you see who you hit?”可知,有人撞到了他。A. called“叫,喊”;B. hit“撞”;
74、C. stopped“停止”;D. shook“震惊”。故选B。50彼得被撞到了,很生气,因此他喊道“难道你没有眼睛吗?”。A. eyes“眼睛”;B. arms“胳膊”;C. legs“腿”;D. face“脸”。故选A。51根据下文提到的“The boy said yes.”可知,是一个男孩撞到了彼得。因此声音来自一个男孩。A. lady“女士”;B. boy“男孩”;C. girl“女孩”;D. man“男人”。故选B。52根据下文可知,彼得和男孩在聊天。因此彼得说:“我可以原谅你,但是你必须和我聊天”。A. live“活”;B. agree“同意”;C. chat“聊天”;D. pla
75、y“玩”。故选C。53男孩同意和彼得聊天,彼得快乐的点点头,面露喜色。A. turned up“出现”;B. rose up“站起来”;C. put up“举起”;D. lit up“面露喜色”。故选D。54彼得问男孩这儿的风景美吗,男孩开始描述给他听。A. describing“描述”;B. reading“读”;C. imagining“想象”;D. observing“观察”。故选A。55结合上下文可知,彼得嫉妒男孩有眼睛可以看到美丽的风景,因此推断,当他倾听男孩描述美景时,开始嫉妒。A. ignore“忽视”;B. support “支持”;C. respect“尊重”;D. envy
76、“嫉妒”。故选D。56彼得因为嫉妒变得不耐烦。因此当他听着男孩描述风景时,他忍不住突然冲着天空大声喊到:“我的上帝,这个小男孩穷的只有一双眼睛!你为什么给他光明啊?”A. Suddenly“突然地”;B. Especially“特别地”;C. Strangely“奇怪地”;D. Regularly“定期地”。故选A。57根据下文提到的“he has nothing but a pair of eyes!”可知,彼得觉得这个男孩很穷。A. lucky“幸运的”;B. kind“善良的”;C. poor“贫穷的”;D. clever“聪明的”。故选C。58根据下文提到的“My son is too

Disappointed“失望的”;D. Delighted“高兴的”。故选B。60根据上文可知,通过此事,彼得受到很深的教育。从此,开始做慈善。因此推断此处是:自那以后,城市慈善机构每年总是收到一大笔捐款。捐献人是彼得。A. donate“捐献”;B. collect“收集”;C. receive“收到”;D. pay“付款”。故选C。【备注】本文主要描述百万富翁彼得因为有钱,很骄傲,做了许多不好的事情。因此当他需要眼角膜移植时,没有人愿意捐献给他。后来偶然遇到一个男孩,在彼得感叹这么穷的孩子也可以见到光明时,却吃惊地得知他也没有眼睛,因而很受感动,从此,开始做慈善,捐出自己大笔的钱给慈善机构。
