10、ge of just three to four times during their lifetime. Now the officials in Sweden are trying to change the trend with the help of modern-day technology. The encouragement to donate again begins shortly after the donor leaves the clinic when he/she receives a thank you text. Though that certainlv hel
11、ps them feel appreciated, what is even more pleasing is the text they receive each time their blood is used to help someone in need. Karolina Wiberg, manager of the Stockholm blood service, believes this small gesture not only results in repeat donors, but helps bring in new ones. The program that w
12、as started in Stockholm has received such positive feedback that it is now being rolled out across the country. However, Swedish officials are not stopping there. They are also encouraging local clinics to publish the exact levels of the different blood groups they have at any given time on their we
13、bsites. This allows potential donors to realize that their blood can make a difference in saving someone s life. While all these outreach programs are great, busy citizens, even the ones with the best intentions have to be occasionally reminded. In order to jog their memories, officials ask people f
14、or authorization to send them text, Facebook, and e-mail reminders. Though that may sound disturbing, the citizens do not seem to mind, given that the messages are light-hearted and fun-things like We wont give up until you bleed. Though Sweden is currently the only country using modern technology t
15、o urge more donations, dont be surprised if more join in, especially if the Nordic (北欧) countrys blood banks start to overflow!21. Why is another text sent to blood donors after a thank you one?A. To ask them for authorization.B. To inform them their blood is used.C. To remind them to donate blood i
16、mmediately. D. To tell them the levels of blood groups.22. What does the program in paragraph 3 refer to?A, Publishing information about blood donation.B. Giving Facebook reminders to citizens.C. Sending text messages to blood donors.D. Providing people with blood service.23. What do people think of
17、 blood donation reminders?A. Disturbing. B. Memorable. C. Authentic. D. Acceptable.24. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Sweden will stop urging blood donation.B. Sweden has benefited little from its program.C. More countries may follow Swedens example.D. Nordic blood banks are in great n
18、eed of blood.B If drinking coffee or tea has become part of your daily routine, you might wonder what its doing to your long-term heart health. New research from Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, a journal (期刊）of the American Heart Association, found that high tea consumption and p
19、roper coffee consumption may be associated with decreased rates of death from coronary heart disease ( CHD)(冠心病). The study followed more than 37,000 tea and coffee drinkers over 13 years. Participants completed food recalls to document their typical intake of tea and coffee, and were divided into g
20、roups that ranged from light to heavy consumption. Researchers accounted for variables(变量）such as health histories, height, weight, and waist circumference (腰围）and recorded the number of deaths from cardiovascular (心血管的）disease and stroke during the study period. Overall results showed that consumin
21、g more than six cups of tea per day was associated with a 36% lower risk of death from heart disease compared to consuming less than one cup of tea per day. There appeared to be no such protective effect of tea-drinking at any amount for risk of death from stroke. Among coffee drinkers, more proper
22、consumption levels (2-3 cups per day) were associated with the greatest risk reduction for death from heart disease (21% ) compared to drinking less than one cup of coffee per day. Researchers acknowledged certain inconclusive variables within their findings. For example, the difference between deca
23、ffeinated(去咖啡因的）and regular coffee could not be accurately accounted for, nor could specific recommendations be made for type of tea, though due to its popularity in the Netherlands where the study took place, researchers assumed most tea consumption to be black tea. Furthermore, researchers found t
24、hat tea and coffee drinkers had opposite lifestyles, with tea drinkers tending to engage in healthy lifestyle habits and coffee drinkers being more likely to eat less healthy and smoke. It was difficult to say with certainty what impact these other lifestyle variables may have contributed to the ove
25、rall results.25. Whats the conclusion of the study?A. People should drink tea and coffee as much as possible.B. Drinking more tea may benefit people with CHD.C. High tea consumption may reduce the rate of stroke.D. Coffee consumption has nothing to do with heart disease.26. Which of the following va
26、riables havent been considered?A. Health histories. B. Height and weight.C. Waist circumference. D. The type of tea and coffee.27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. All people in the Netherlands like black tea.B. Tea and coffee drinkers had a similar life style,C. Other variables have
27、no effect on the results.D. There are still something uncertain about the study.28. Which of the following might be the best title?A. Why our heart loves coffee and tea, B. Drink more tea and coffee.C. Heart disease will be reduced. D. An amazing findings about heart diseases.C “My work is done.” Th
28、ose words were some of the last penned by George Eastman. He included them in his suicide note. They mark an ignoble end to a noble life, the leave taking of a truly great man. The same words could now be said for the company he left behind. Actually, the Eastman Kodak Company is through. It has bee
29、n mismanaged financially, technologically and competitively. For 20 years, its leaders have foolishly spent down the patrimony of a centurys prosperity. One of Americas bedrock brands is about to disappear, the Kodak moment has passed.But George Eastman is not how he died, and the Eastman Kodak Comp
30、any is not how it is being killed. Though the ends be needless and premature, they must not be allowed to overshadow the greatness that came before. Few companies have done so much good for so many people, or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world. It is imposs
31、ible to understand the 20th Century without recognizing the role of the Eastman Kodak Company. Kodak served mankind through entertainment, science, national defense and the stockpiling of family memories. Kodak took us to the top of Mount Suribachi and to the Sea of Tranquility. It introduced us to
32、the merry old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne, and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks. It showed us the shot that killed President Kennedy, and his brother bleeding out on a kitchen floor, and a fallen Martin Luther King Jr. on the hard balcony of a Memphis motel. When that sai
33、lor kissed the nurse, and when the spy planes saw missiles in Cuba, Kodak was the eyes of a nation. From the deck of the Missouri to the grandeur of Monument Valley, Kodak took us there. Virtually every significant image of the 20th Century is a gift to posterity（繁荣） from the Eastman Kodak Company.
34、In an era of easy digital photography, when we can take a picture of anything at any time, we cannot imagine what life was like before George Eastman brought photography to people. Yes, there were photographers, and for ly large sums of money they would take stilted（不自然的） pictures in studios and for
35、mal settings. But most people couldnt afford photographs, and so all they had to remember distant loved ones, or earlier times of their lives, was memory. Children could not know what their parents had looked like as young people, grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren look
36、ed like. Eastman Kodak allowed memory to move from the uncertainty of recollection, to the permanence of a photograph. But it wasnt just people whose features were savable; it was events, the sacred and precious times that families cherish. The Kodak moment, was humanitys moment. And it wasnt just p
37、eople whose features were savable; it was events, the precious times that families cherish. Kodak let the fleeting moments of birthdays and weddings, picnics and parties, be preserved and saved. It allowed for the creation of the most egalitarian art form. Lovers could take one anothers pictures, ch
38、ildren were photographed walking out the door on the first day of school, the person releasing the shutter decided what was worth recording, and hundreds of millions of such decisions were made. And for centuries to come, those long dead will smile and dance and communicate to their unborn progeny（子
39、孙）. Family history will be not only names on paper, but smiles on faces. The cash flow not just provided thousands of people with job, but also allowed the companys founder to engage in some of the most generous charity in Americas history. Not just in Kodaks home city of Rochester, New York, but in
40、 Tuskegee and London, and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He bankrolled（资助） two historically black colleges, fixed the teeth of Europes poor, and quietly did good wherever he could. While doing good, Kodak did very well. Over all the years, all the Kodakers over all the years are essen
41、tial parts of that monumental legacy. They prospered a great company, but they with that company blessed the world.That is what we should remember about the Eastman Kodak Company. Like its founder, we should remember how it lived, not how it died. History will forget the small men who have scuttled
42、this company. But history will never forget Kodak.29. According to the passage, which of the following is to blame for the fall of Kodak?A. The invention of easy digital photographyB. The poor management of the companyC. The early death of George EastmanD. The quick rise of its business competitors3
43、0. It can be learnt from the passage that George Eastman .A. died a natural death of old age.B. happened to be on the spot when President Kennedy was shot dead.C. set up his company in the capital of the US before setting up its branches all over the world.D. was not only interested in commercial pr
44、ofits, but also in the improvement of other peoples lives.31Before George Eastman brought photography to people, .A. no photos has ever been taken of people or eventsB. photos were very expensive and mostly taken indoorsC. painting was the only way for people to keep a record of their ancestors.D. g
45、randparents never knew what their grandchildren looked like.DThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things
46、, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to
47、be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more
48、 to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may
49、 be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people hurt many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common polite
50、ness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections,
51、 no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwis
52、e, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.32. People who are unhappy _.A. always consider things differently from othersB. always discover the unpleasant side of certain thingsC. usually misunderstand what others think or sayD.
53、usually are affected by the results of certain things33. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_”.A. makes others unhappy B. has a good taste with social lifeC. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life34. We can conclude from the passage that _.A. we should pi
54、ty all such unhappy peopleB. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD. unhappy people can not understand happy persons35. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _.A. show no respect and pol
55、iteness to themB. prevent any communication with themC. persuade them to recognize the bad effectsD. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakesE根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that th
56、eir spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak toa Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.”36I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.37H
57、owever, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.38Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY
58、 NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across. But to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter.39The third reason is that
59、not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主动的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English th
60、ey passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.40A. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.C. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.D. However, their spok
61、en English does not have to remain “poor”!E. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.F. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.G. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities
