30、出最佳选项。（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AWhen the population of the port town began to suffer from poisoning, the police came to find the cause of poisoning. They thought someone was poisoning the people on purpose, but no one knew how it was possible. Soon people held the view that the pork was poisoned. It was a
31、 popular food everyone ate and it could have possibly made everyone sick. Anyone who had possession of pork would throw it out. Even the poorest of the poor wouldnt eat pork. Signs were posted on poles and letters were sent to everyone to warn people of the pork. Shortly afterwards, even policemen i
32、n high positions were also getting sick.Soon it became political and popular. Politicians rushed to the town to talk about politics and promised how they would find the solution if they were elected. Everyone was so sick that they didnt care about politics. Everyone was in a position where he or she
33、 didnt know what to do anymore. They went to the post office to mail posts out asking for help. The poor town didnt know how to deal with the situation.One day, a well-known scientist from New York came to the town with a huge box containing many instruments and his possessions. He went to pools and
34、 the port and made measurements. He was quiet and polite. Then one day he made a speech at a newspaper meeting-room to announce his findings.“I am sorry to say your water supply is so heavily polluted; it is poisoned. I know who has been poisoning you all for such a long time. It is you who have bee
35、n poisoning yourselves with pollution. A great deal of rubbish has been thrown into the water day after day. No one here has taken good care of the environment. It is no wonder all of you have been sick.” Shocked at the news, the people present were lost in thought.56.The first paragraph is mainly a
36、bout _.A. the opinion that the pork should be thrown out B. the fact that people suffer from poisoningC. the fact that pork was a popular food everyone ate D. the news that policemen were getting sick57.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to “_”.A. the population of the port town began to

A well-known scientist from New York found the cause of poisoning.C. It was people who had been poisoning themselves with pollution.D. Even some police officer
39、s were getting ill.B This is an open letter to the three people who stole my handbag from the department store where I am employed as a shop assistant. When you took my bag, I dont know what you thought you were going to get. With my wages, theres not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the 5 was useful
40、to you. I have informed the social security office so you wont be able to cash the child benefit next week. I hope that wont leave you too short. But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book. Of course, I phoned the bank right
41、 away and the check-casing card is no longer valid, so it wont be much use to you. Actually I dont mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. However, I dont suppose it went very far among the three of
42、 you. Sorry about that!I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. There were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you. I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?Well,
43、perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasnt even an expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag. You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. Weve looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop. Im not really angry wit
44、h you. I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel violated and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shrugged（耸） their shoulders. It happens all the time, they told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But Ive lost just a
45、 little more faith in human nature. And as my young son said when I told him what had happened, Why? Mummy, why us? I couldnt answer that question. I wonder if you can. 60. In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to A. describe the contents of the bag in detail B. tell the thieves hardly any money
46、was availableC. give some suggestions to the three thieves D. state the fact that she was careless with the money61. Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer?A. The cash in her bag B. The handbag itselfC. The papers and notes in the bag D. The check books in the bag62. What can we c
47、onclude about the police?A. They have doubts about human natureB. They think the case quite commonC. They show sympathy for the womanD. They are unable to find the thieves63. Why does the author write the letter?A. To give the thieves a serious warningB. To call peoples attention to their belongings
48、C. To complain about the fall of moralityD. To express her affection for her valuable bagCA woman in the US is able to speak for the first time in 11 years after a pioneering voice box transplant（移植）. Brenda Jensen said the operation was a great success which had saved her life. Thirteen days after
49、the surgery she said her first words: Good morning, I want to go home. It is the first time a voice box and windpipe（气管） have been transplanted at the same time and only the second time a voice box has ever been transplanted. Ms. Jensen, 52, had been unable to speak on her own since her voice box wa
50、s damaged during surgery in 1999. Since then, she has been unable to taste or smell food, could breathe only through a hole in her windpipe and could talk only with the help of an electronic voice box. In October, surgeons at the University of California Davis Medical Centre removed the voice box an
51、d 6cm of the windpipe from a donor body. In an 18-hour operation, this was transplanted into Ms. Jensens throat and the team connected it to her blood supply and nerves（神经）. Professor Martin Birchall from University College London, who was part of the surgery team, said: Weve learned that we can rep
52、air nerves to make even very complex organs function again. Itll open the door to better facial transplants and will be extremely important as tissue engineering develops. A voice box transplant might be life changing, but it is not life saving. Everyone who receives a transplant must take drugs to
53、control the immune system（免疫系统）for the rest of their lives. These drugs can reduce life expectancy, so they are normally set aside for life saving procedures. One of the reasons Ms. Jensen was a suitable person for this transplant was that she was already taking immune controlling drugs after a kidn
54、ey-pancreas transplant four years ago. Professor Peter Belafsky, part of the surgical team, said: Brenda was an exceptional candidate for the transplant because she was highly motivated. Anyone whos met Brenda knows that she is a strong and determined person with a great outlook on life in spite of
55、the many physical challenges shes faced over her lifetime. 64. Ms. Jensen was a suitable person for this transplant because she was _. A. determined and realistic B. experienced and braveC. seriously ill and motivated D. strong-willed and prepared 65. Which of the following is the right time order o
56、f the event?a. Ms. Jensen received a voice box transplant operation. b. Ms. Jensen began to take immune controlling drugs. c. Doctors removed the voice box from a donor body. d. Ms. Jensen had a kidney-pancreas transplant operation. A. acdb B. cabd C. bdca D. dbca 66. Which is the best title for the
57、 passage?A. Tissue engineering B. First Words from New Voice C. Brendas sufferings D. Courageous Woman Defeating FearsDA friend of mine, in response to a conversation we were having about the injustices of life, asked me the question, “Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to
58、 be fair?” Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster: Life isnt fair. Its disappointing, but its absolutely true. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it w
59、ill be. Its not and it wont.One of the nice things about surrendering(屈从) to the fact that life isnt fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. We know its not “lifes job” to make everything perfect, its our own challenge
60、. Surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt a different hand; everyone has unique strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel victi
61、mized or unfairly treated.The fact that life isnt fair doesnt mean we shouldnt do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. To the contrary, it suggests that we should. When we dont recognize or admit that life isnt fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for oursel
62、ves. Pity, of course, is a self-defeating emotion that does nothing for anyone, except to make everyone feel worse than they already do. When we do recognize that life isnt fair, however, we feel compassion(热情) for others and for ourselves. And compassion is a heartfelt emotion that delivers loving-
63、kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the injustices of the world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can persuade you out of self-pity and into helpful action.67. The writer thought of his friend s question as a goo
64、d one because _.A. like his friend, he also thought life was unfairB. it made him recall something during his childhoodC. he also wanted to know who held such an opinionD. he learned something from the question as a youngster68. Surrendering to the fact that life isnt fair will _.A. keep us from mak
65、ing everything perfectB. make us know its our duty to perfect thingsC. make us face unfair treatment bravelyD. keep us from doing everything in our power69. The second paragraph of the passage mainly tells us that _.A. we should not surrender to the lifeB. its nice to surrender to the lifeC. its nic
66、e to accept the injustice of lifeD. we should not feel sorry for everything70. In the last paragraph, “this very basic fact” refers to the fact that _.A. you should not pity for othersB. pity is a self-defeating emotionC. compassion is heartfelt emotionD. life isnt and wont be fair 第二卷（共35分）第四部分：写作

After leaving school, Keats went on to be an apprentice(学徒) for a surgeon. After his father died in a riding accident, and his mothe

After that Keats lived with Brown. Around this time Keats fell in love with, and became engaged(订婚) to eighteen-year-old Fanny Brawn
71、e. While their relationship led to much spiritual development for Keats, it also proved to be filled with the highs and lows of first love due to jealousy and stupidity. Many people once believed that Fanny was the cause of his illness, or that she used it as an excuse to try to keep herself away fr
72、om him. For a while even Keats felt happy with the possibility that he was merely (仅仅) suffering from emotional anxietiesbut after suffering a hemorrhage(吐血) he agreed to break their engagement.At the beginning of 1820 Keats started to show more signs of tuberculosis. His poem Ode to a Nightingale r

Millions of chimneys of the factories are pouring heavy smoke into air, which causes serious air pollu
84、tion. A large amount of waste water from the factories pollutes water, making our rivers fishless and our water unfit to drink and swim in. Furthermore, a lot of tress have been cut down without proper plans, which contributes to the soil being washed away. It seems that we really have no clean plac
85、e to live. The pollution is so serious that we have to find effective solutions to it. As far as I am concerned, the government should pass laws to reduce polluted air. Some measures should be taken to purify the water before it is poured into the rivers or the seas. We should plant more trees to keep the soil in place. Whats more, people should be further educated to realize the importance of environmental protection. Thus, we will have a clean and tidy environment.
