2、aturday morning I decided to walk into Liverpool city centre and buy myself something. I didnt need anything, and I was just going to spend some money!I stepped into a store to buy myself some sweets. While I was there the door opened and in walked this little girl. She looked older than her age. Sh
3、e was wearing a summer dress even though it was a bitterly cold day.She walked up to the counter, and placed a fifth pence coin on the glass.

4、told the little girl the teddy cost was more than 50 pence.I knew that none of the bears on display could be bought for 50 pence. I also knew that I could easily buy the best bear there with the money I was going to waste that day-but did I want to encourage a little girl to take money from stranger
5、s?While I watched the little girl turned. “Oh well,” she announced to the world, “Ill just give him mine then.”I didnt forget her words “Ill just give him mine.” She was going to give her litte brother her teddy, probably the only teddy she had!If I meet with this kind of little girl today, I will h

9、ed kidney from a woman. Whats so unusual about that ? David Nicol was in his office in Australia while the woman lay on an operating table in New Zealand. What connected them was a technology called remote surgery （远程手术）. Remote surgery itself is not new. In 2001, a group of doctors in New York, US,
10、 removed a gall bladder （胆囊） from a patient lying in France. It was the first successful case of remote surgery used on a human across international borders （国界）. Now, Nicols operation is to be the first one performed on the kidneys. Nicol used joysticks （操纵杆） to direct robotic arms in the New Zeala
11、nd operating room during the two hour operation. The joysticks and the robotic arms are linked by a puter network. Nicol could watch the robots work while doctors in New Zealand checked the patient and changed the instruments as needed. “Before this technology, I would have been in the theatre when
12、they were performing the operation, ” Nicol said. During remote surgery, the doctor is the one in control. The robots carry out the operation using a plex （复杂的） method. Doctors have found that a robot is better than a human surgeon at carrying out this difficult operation even when it is controlled
13、thousands of miles away. Unlike humans, robotic “arms ” do not shake when they target （瞄准） a small piece of tissue or organ （组织器官）. In remote surgery such as the removal of kidney stones, the robotic arm inserts a long special needle into the patients body and X rays guide it to the kidney. Once the
14、 robotic arm has reached the hard kidney stone, the needle gets wider so a tiny telescope （望远镜） can travel down it and look at the organ. Then instruments are used to break up the stone and get rid of the remaining waste. For doctors, the technology means less stress （压力） in the operation room. And
15、for patients, it means far less chance of suffering blood loss or damage to a nearby organ.However, the remote surgery is not widely used because its still very expensive. A remote operation on a gall bladder costs more than $1 million. A normal operation only costs $2, 000. It will be some time yet
16、 before the price falls and the operation is available to people throughout the world.4Why was this kidney operation so unusual ? Because_.Aremote surgery was introduced into the operationBit was a robot that was carrying out the operationCthe patient and the doctor doing the operation were in diffe
17、rent countriesDit was a successful operation performed on kidneys5In this kidney operation who or what was in charge ?ADavid Nicol.BThe robot.CJoysticks.DThe puter network.6What does the word “available ” mean in last paragraph ?AFree.BEasy to get.CHard to get.DSimple enough.7From the story, we can
18、see_.Adoctors and patients have already benefited a lot from remote surgeryBrobots can replace human doctors altogether in remote surgeryCthe technology is sure to bring about a surgical revolutionDglobalization （全球化） is reaching into all areas of lifeCEverything has two sides. One side of SARS is a
19、lready clear. It is a deadly disease, which causes fear. There were 2,601 cases recorded on the Chinese mainland on April 24, according to government figures. Some 115 people have died and numbers keep rising. But, theres another side. SARS is a reminder of how fragile life can be. Suddenly, its not
20、 just the old people who are thinking about death. Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow. Wang Xinying, a Senior 3 student in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, came into contact with a suspected SARS patient in mid April. He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks.“Watching TV a
21、bout more and more SARS patients dying, I never knew that death could be so close. Life is valuable and I am going to treasure every single day,” he said. SARS teaches people to be grateful, not only for their own lives, but also for others. Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their t
22、ime with infected patients. As a result, more than 20 percent of SARS cases in China are medical workers. Xu Bing, a Senior 2 student of Beijing No. 5 Middle School wants to be a doctor when he grows up. “Although they certainly know of the dangers, doctors and nurses remain bravely dedicated to sav
23、ing peoples lives. I deeply moved by what they have done. I think they are real heroes, ” he said. SARS also teaches sympathy. The past few weeks have been terrible for Chinese people. But there are far worse things than SARS in this world, such as war, earthquakes and murders. Think of the Iraqis,
24、who have been living terrible lives for 20 years. Think of how the Americans felt on 9/1.And finally, SARS offers the chance to grow. All different types of people and government officials are joining together to cope in this difficult time. When this passes, China and its people, will have learned
25、great lessons.8The story of Wang Xinying is given in this passage mainly to _.Atell us the hardship of lifeBtell us the fragileness of lifeCtell the cruelty of SARSDtell us the joy of life9The main points discussed in the passage is _.ASARS is a deadly diseaseBChinese people are going all out to fig
26、ht the diseaseCSARS teaches us a lotDdoctors are dedicated to saving peoples lives10Among the infected patients by SARS, which of the following is most?AStudents.BDoctors and nurses.CWorkers.DOfficials.11The writer tells us of the brighter side for SARS in_ ways.AtwoBthreeCfiveDfourDLabour force is
27、the part of a nations population that works for pay or is actively looking for work. This group produces most of the nations goods and services, and its size and productivity determine the nations economic （经济） growth. The labour force of the United States increased from 2 million in 1800 to about 1
28、18 million in the mid 1900s. This growth helped turn the United States from a largely agricultural country to an advanced industrial one.The United States government uses the term “labour force ” for people at least 16 years old who have jobs or are actively looking for jobs, including those in the
29、armed forces. Groups not in the labour force include disabled persons, full time housewives, retired （退休） people and students. And the labour force does not include discouraged ones who have given up looking for work because they think none can be got. The United Nations uses the term “economically
30、active population” instead of “labour force”. The economically active population includes people of all ages who hold jobs or are looking for jobs. The percentages of teenagers and old people in this group are much higher in many developing countries than they are in industrial countries.12Which of
31、the following does the labour force include?AThose who serve in the government or in the army.BThose who are too old to go on working.CThose who have completely stopped looking for jobs.DThose who are not working and dont try to get work.13According to the passage, we know that _.Athe US has been an
32、 industrial country all alongBthe US labour force today is about 60 times as large as in 1800Ca nations development depends on the size and quality of its labour forceDthe greater the size of labour force of a nation is, the more advanced the nation will be14What conclusion can we draw from the pass
33、age?ANo teenagers in advanced countries are hired for pay.B“Labour force” in the USA and the UN “economically active population” dont mean exactly the same thing.CEven in many developing countries most old people dont have to work.DIn industrial countries old people dont have to work.15The main idea
34、 of the passage is _.Awhat labour force isBthe importance of labour forceCthe changes in labour forceDthe difference between “labour force” and “economically active population”二、七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）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。Unlike IQ, emotional intelligence is something we can de
