16、 iron. He worried so much about his playing that he became oversensitive (过度敏感的) to the comments of his playing. Unfortunately, in those days, a critic(批评家) was not considered a critic, unless he found something wrong. This attitude of the critics would often leave the young man ready to give up his
17、 dream and return home.He was invited to play in Helsinki. The rich, the famous, the leaders of State were all there. Jean-Michael had one of those days when everything went wrong. That night as he played, he felt as if it were the worst concert of his young life. The next day, in the newspapers, so
18、me of the comments were so unkind. The young musician was painful.That day, as he sat in his hotel room in total despair(绝望), there came a knocking at his door. He had a visitor. The famous Finnish composer(作曲家) Jean Sibelius had come by to congratulate the young pianist on his performance. Jean-Mic
19、hael asked how he thought of that and began to quote some of the newspaper critics. Hands of iron. No imagination. Little skill, no joy. Dont you hear what they say? he asked.Jean Sibelius looked at young Jean-Michael and said, Remember, son, there is no city in the world where they have erected a s

Mala was a typical middle-class Indian housewife. She cooked, cleaned and looked after her two small children.Last year, her life took a tragic
24、turn. Her husband died of AIDS; she was found out HIV-positive(爱滋病病毒检验呈阳性反应) and her mother-in-law took her children away from her, saying they would get the disease. “When friends dropped for a visit, she would introduce me, saying, She is my sons widow. She has AIDS,”said Mala. AIDS is now describ
25、ed as “explosive(炸药)“ around the world. A study of a hospital in the port city of Durban in South Africa, where the worlds biggest and Africas first AIDS conference opened last Sunday, found that almost half the beds in medical wards(病房) were occupied by AIDS patients.South Africa has one of the wor
26、lds fastest growing HIV infections(传染), with 1,700 people infected daily, adding to the 4.3 million, or 10 percent of its population, living with HIV. Until now, Asia has been more successful in holding the AIDS virus(病毒) than Africa, where the disease has killed about 12 million people .AIDS is now
27、 threatening to surround many of Asias poverty-stricken countries. Countries in Asia, such as Cambodia, and Thailand, have HIV infection speeds over 1 percent. But the low speeds hide huge numbers of affected people, because of the population base.In India, for example, 3.7 million are infected, mor
28、e than in any other country except South Africa. In China, an estimated 500,000 people, mainly drug users, live with HIV/AIDS. Gordon Alexander, a senio advisor for UN AIDS in India, estimates (估计) that the number hit by AIDS in Asia will climb about eight million over the next five years from about
29、 six million.In many Asian countries, the battle against HIV is a social and cultural one against public discussion of sexual health put a nationwide media campaign into action to limit the speed of HIV through unsafe sex. Brenton Wong, an official for Singapores Action for AIDS, says the actual HIV
30、 incidence in the city state of 3.9 million people is at least eight times higher than official data.”Shame and deny is still very, very common so people are afraid to get tested and many times wont even tell their families if they test positive,” said Wong.46. What does the underlined word “she” re
31、fer to? A. Mala B. Malas mother C. Malas mother-in-law D. Malas sister47. It is judged that there are_ people hit by AIDS in Asia or so.A. 4. 3 million B. 6 million C. 8 million D. 3.7 million48.

33、ill die sooner or later. A. ab B. ac C. bc D. abcCHank Viscardi was 26 years old when he put on his first pair of long trousers and his first pair of shoes. For the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be a full five feet eight inches tall. Hank had been born without legs. Until he w
34、as seven, his world was a world of repeated operations. At last he had not legs, but stumps（残肢）that could be fitted with a kind of special boots.Out of the hospital, Hank often found people staring at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him “Ape Man” because his arms dragged（
35、拖）on the ground. He went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years instead of the usual twelve.After graduation, Hank worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, Hank had be
36、en moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. Hank would soon have to use a wheel chair. Hank felt himself go cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial（人造的）legs.Finally a le
37、g maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror and saw himself for the first time, five feet eight inches tall.But this was not the end yet. He had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when
38、he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed the stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it. When World War came, he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job. He took the regular training.
39、He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, the man without legs.51It can be inferred from the story that five feet eight inches tall is . Aan average height for an adult（成人） Btoo tall for an average person Ctoo short
40、for an average person. D. none of the above.52Children laughed at Hank and called him “Ape Man” because . Ahe didnt talk to themB. he kept away from them.C. when he moved his arms touched the ground.D. his arms were too long.53The writer implies in the story that . Athe Red Cross was only too glad t
41、o give him a job Bthe Red Cross gave him a job because he was a good soldier. Cthe Red Cross gave him a job after he talked to somebody he knew in the organization Dthe Red Cross was not willing to give him a job at first54When Hank marched and drilled along with the other soldiers .Ahe did everythi
42、ng the other soldiers did Bhe did most of the things the other soldiers didChe did some of the things the other soldiers did Dhe took some special training55The writer suggests that Hank Viscardi Ahad no friends at all Bwas a man with a strong will Chad lost his legs in an accident Dwas not satisfie
43、d with his artificial legsDIn England three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop. They studied the information on the post sign and decided which bus to take. About five minutes later the bus they wanted came along. They prepared to get on. Suddenly people rushed onto the bus and tried to push them
44、out of the way. Someone shouted insulting remarks about the foreigners. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus so that the first
45、 person who arrived at a bus-stop is the first person to get on the bus.Learning the language of a country isnt enough. If you want to ensure a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from
46、 your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man apparently（显然地）shaking his head at another and assume (认为) that
47、 he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a rotating (旋转) movement of the head is a gesture that express agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to express “yes” a nod means “no”. In Europe i
48、t is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could cause offence (冒犯). It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand avoid touching the head
49、 of an adult its just not done. Attitudes to women vary considerably（相当地）around the world. In Japan, for example, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home. Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are travelling, but you also
50、 need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality (礼节).56. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed because _. A. they didnt know the English language B. someone called their names C. they didnt know the custom of lining up for a bus D. they knocked someone down
51、 while getting on the bus57. According to the passage, which attitude to women is usual in Japan? A. Men always go to parties with women. B. Men plan evening entertainments for their wives. C. Men and women have equal rights to go to parties. D. Men plan evening entertainments for themselves, while
52、their wives stay home.58. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “insulting” in Para.1 ? A.善意的 B.咨询的 C.商量的 D.无礼的59. From the passage, we know that shaking head means Yes in _. A. India and Thailand B. India and BulgariaC. Bulgaria and Thailand D. Thailand and Japan60. The underlined sentence “Nodd
53、ing your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty.” means _. A. Its probably that you are thirsty if you nod your head B. Youre possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your head C. You probably refuse to drink when you nod your head D. Youd like to have a cup of tea bec
54、ause you nod your head第二节：任务型阅读61._Nowadays, millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other drugs. Research by the American National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA, 1999) shows that around 2% of the population over age 12 were using drugs non-medically.62._NIDA views medication
55、s as a powerful force for good in the contemporary world. They reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease. They make it possible for doctors to perform complicated surgery to save lives. Many people afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control the
56、ir symptoms and become active, contributing citizens. NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drags use them in a responsible.63._Nevertheless, overuse of drugs such as opium, central nervous system (CNS) depressants and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is the
57、refore becoming a serious public health concern. Although this abuse affects many people worldwide, particular trends of concern to the medical profession in the US appear among older adults, teenagers arid women.64._Though it may be a surprise to many, the misuse of medications may be the most comm
58、on form of drug abuse among the elderly. Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University, North Carolina states that although the elderly represent about 13% of the US population, those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs. People in this age group use medications roughly th
59、ree times more than the general population and have poorer compliance with instruction for use. In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs, 70% were women who had overused medicines.65._Unfortunately, this trend among women does not only affect those aged over 60. In general
60、, among women and men who are using either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative, women are twice as likely to become addicted. In addition, statistics compiled for 12-17 year olds show that teenage girls are more likely than teenage boys to begin overusing psychotherapeutic medication such as painkill
61、ers, tranquillizers, stimulants and sedatives.第三部分： 写作（共40分）第一节： 短文改错（10分）Boys and girl，May I have your attention, please? I have anything important to tell you.
