Reading Comprehension. (15%)（A）Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she wa

After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined
24、 that she taught in school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling. In 1849, after graduation from medical school. she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea. Upon returning to the U

By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children.

30、hough it is much smaller than a mans brain. Apes all belong to the hot countries of the worldtropical Africa and Southeast Asia. The gorilla is the largest of the apes. He is as tall as six feet when standing upright. Many people think that gorillas are very fierce. They are often described as stand
31、ing upright like a man, beating their fists and roaring. In their home, in the forests of Central Africa, however, they are not at all like this, They are peaceful animals and never use their great strength unless attacked. Even then, they retreat if they can. Gorillas have black faces and long, bla
32、ck, hairy coats. They feed during the day on plants and fruit. At night the old male often sleeps on the ground at the foot of a tree, while the others each make a sleeping platform in the tree bending the leafy branches.

Themes of modern science fiction61. _ Among the most popular books being written today are those which are usually, classified as scienc
37、e fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.62. _It is often thought that science is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors can
38、 be found in book written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.63. _Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by
39、 writers such as Jules Verne and H.G.Wells to mention just two well-known authors, have been translated into many languages.64. _Most science fiction writers dont write about men from Mars or space adventure stones. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on soci

Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones.65. _ In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of
41、scientific advances.

51、cident. VIII. Writing. ( 10%)I am against the idea of banning private transport from the city centre.Banning private transport and allowing only public transport would be highly inconvenient for many people. As far as I can see, one solution would be to allow cars into the city centre on alternate d
52、ays. On the other hand, creating more car parks just outside the city centre and providing free buses, or charging cares to drive into the centre may be better solutions . Many people might choose to take public transport because it is cheaper. In that way, the city authorities could also make some extra money.To sum up, a complete ban on private traffic in the city may not be practical, however desirable it is. I am in favour of creating more car parks just outside the city centre and charging cars that go into it.
