Many years ago, when I worked _25_ a volunteer at Stanford Hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liza who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion (输血)
15、from her five-year-old brother, who _26_ (survive) the same disease and developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy _27_ he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him _28_ (hesitate) for a moment
16、_29_ taking a deep breath and saying, Yes, Ill do it if it will save Liza.As the transfusion progressed, he lay in a bed next to his sister, smiling. _30_ then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked at the doctor and asked with _31_ trembling voice, Will I start to die right away?Being yo

22、I. considerate J. stickK. shockedVisitors usually find most Americans, for all their informality, very polite. This reputation seems to _41 largely on the great number of “Please” and “Thank you” we deliver, but also on the general _42 given by strangers. One should be _43 of waiters, garage attenda
23、nts, and household help as well as of doctors and senators.

24、” It is true that we dont mean much by it, but it s an acknowledgement that we don t expect people to do things for us.

Some Japanese find Americans so rude that they think
26、 they are being discriminated against when Americans are only acting _50 . Politeness also depends on where you are. New Yorkers have a far-reaching reputation for rudeness, although they can also be surprisingly helpful.III. Reading ComprehensionSection AMore and more young women want to look beaut

28、nervosa is 54 starvation attitudes toward food, and distorted (扭曲的) body image. 55 they are often extremely thin, anorexic girls believe that they are fat and are 56 on dieting. Their perceptions of their own bodies are very much distorted. They do not see themselves as thin but 57 , as fat. Most 58

From five to six percent of anorexics _59 _die from starvation.Anorexia, which means “without food”, seems to be quite 60 among young girls, although it was 61 a problem twenty years ago. The 62 of Anor
30、exia is not known. Researchers are trying to find out its 63 but it is related to a psychological need. One theory is that they want to avoidbecoming an adult, since starvation can 64 down physical growth and the beginning of puberty. Another theory is that anorexia is related to refusal of the moth
31、er figure or to being the daughter of an overly protective and controlling mother. By being anorexic, the girl shows her ability to _65 _at least one aspect of her own life.In addition, researchers notethat the problem may result in a wrong body image-the ideal of female beauty of being very thin.51

34、 Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)Excused from recycling beca
35、use you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute ( 通道)? You wont be for long. Miamis Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too. In Shantziss Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn aroun
36、d when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal, and other rubbish to go into separate boxes. The system is controlled from a board next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materia
37、ls ( as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floors chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular pi
38、ece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclables. Sorting recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain waste
39、d. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective. 66. The purpose in writing this text is _. A. to encourage people to recycle their rubbish B. to introduce a recycling system for high rises C. to describe the use of computer technology in recycling D. to expl
40、ain the need for rubbish collection in high rises67. When he says “ You wont be for long” the writer means that_. A. youll soon be living in a cleaner building B. rubbish chutes will become out of date before long C. you wont wait long for your turn to recycle rubbish D. it wont be long before youll
41、 have to recycle your rubbish68. Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to _. A. lock the other floors chute doors B. check if the container is full C. press the correct button D. break up the rubbish69. The biggest advantage of this new system is that_. A. it reduces the cost of recycling
42、B. it saves time and space C. it saves money for people living in high rises D. it makes better use of the existing recovery equipment(B)It was graduation day at Etihad Training Academy,where the national airline of the United Arab Emirates holds a seven-week training course for new flight attendant
43、s. Despite her obvious pride, Ms. Fathi, a 22-year-old from Egypt, was amazed to find herself here. “I never in my life thought Id work abroad,” said Ms. Fathi, who was a university student in Cairo when she began noticing newspaper advertisements employing young Egyptians to work at airlines based
44、in the Persian Gulf.A decade ago, unmarried Arab women like Ms. Fathi, working outside their home countries, were rare. But just as young men from poor Arab nations poured into the oil-rich Persian Gulf states for jobs, more young women are doing so. Flight attendants have become the public face of
45、the new mobility for some young Arab women, just as they were the face of new freedoms for women in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. They have become a subject of social anxiety and fascination in much the same way. For many families, allowing a daughter to work may call her virtue into que
46、stion. Yet this culture is changing, said Musa Shteiwi, a sociologist at Jordan University in Amman. “Were noticing more and more single women going to the gulf these days,” he said. “Its still not exactly common, but over the last four or five years its become quite an observable phenomenon.”Many o
47、f the young Arab women working in the Persian Gulf take delight in their status as pioneers, role models for their friends and younger female relatives. Young women brought up in a culture that highly values community, have learned to see themselves as individuals. The experience of living independe
48、ntly and working hard for high salaries has forever changed their beliefs about themselves, though it can also lead to a painful sense of separation from their home countries and their families.

49、. go to work abroad after American womens exampleB. didnt start to work abroad until the late 20th centuryC. are commonly used to living and working separatelyD. expect to take the same family responsibilities as men71.

53、her countries working in the area, military officials said.The operation is Chinas first major naval mission abroad. The two missile destroyers Haikou and Wuhan are top-of-the-line Chinese navy vessels. They sail at a speed of 30 knots. On board the destroyer, there are two helicopters, anti-aircraf
54、t missiles, anti-vessel missiles and cannon torpedoes. The destroyers can direct fire at a target 10 kilometers away.One major issue for the ships is how they will resupply so far from home. Officials said it will mostly depend on the supply ship, but China will also negotiate with other countries i
55、n the area to allow the ships to dock (停靠码头) and resupply. “In light of the peculiarity of this operation, we have also dispatched some special forces . these special forces will carry light weapons that correspond (相符) with the specific features and needs of this operation,” a Chinese military offi
56、cial said at a news conference last Tuesday.Though the purpose of the mission is to protect Chinese ships and crews, China has called for stepped-up cooperation on anti-piracy efforts. China announced it was sending warships to the area after the UN Security Council authorized nations to conduct lan
57、d and air attacks on pirate bases.“During the escort (护航) operation, Chinese ships are ready and willing to strengthen information and intelligence sharing as well as conduct humanitarian rescue operations with vessels of relevant countries according to the situation on the ground,” said Huang Xuepi
58、ng, spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense.The plan is for a mission of three months, according to Chinese news media. Piracy has taken an increasing toll (损耗) on international shipping, especially in the Gulf of Aden (亚丁湾), one of the worlds busiest sea-lanes. Pirates have made an estimated
59、$30 million hijacking (劫持) ships this year, seizing more than 40 vessels off Somalias 3, 000km coastline.The Peoples Liberation Army Navy has primarily focused on defending Chinas coastline and, until now, limited operations abroad to port calls, goodwill visits and exercises with other navies.74.

64、eavy weapons.D. Its estimated that pirates off Somalia seized 50 vessels last year. Section C 8%Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than 15 words.Many years ago, I was eating (chicken, as I recall) at Kentucky Fried Chicken. I was w
65、atching a little child (maybe a couple years old), whose mother (it would seem) was waiting in line to order food. The child walked up to a curtain, pulled it back, and was delighted to find a blank wall, no windows. The child tried to call his mothers attention to this situation. And the mother sai
66、d, “Get away from there.” To me, the child represented all of the people who are curious about the world, who delight in new discoveries. The mother represented the multitudes (众多) of other people, who are not curious, whose minds are no longer alive to that sort of thing. You and I know that curtai
67、ns and windows go together, but not always. We would not be surprised to find a blank wall behind a curtain. But, we are curious and childlike, arent we? We want to know things, things that other people know, and things that no one has ever known. It was a delight to watch this child. I may have enj
68、oyed the childs discovery more than the child did. I was saddened to think about the mother. Of course, she may have been a wonderful person, with a wonderful mind. She just may not have been in tune with her child, at that moment. But, I wondered if this child would be stifled (抑制), worn down, like
69、 so many, and become an adult without any childlike thoughts. That saddened me. To my mind, the two golden, childlike properties of a brain are curiosity and creativity. Many adult activities (jobs, hobbies, pastimes) use one or the other of these properties, in particular the sciences (mainly curio
70、sity) and the arts (mainly creativity). 78. Why did the child try to call his mothers attention? 79. To the writer, the child represented the people who _. 80. What saddened the writer? 81. According to the writer, _ are the golden childlike properties of a brain. 第II卷（共47分）IV. TranslationDirections
