25、 a high school for many years, I grew tired of budget meetings, funding cuts, and many other administrative chores(杂务). I started to dream of retirement. Sitting in traffic on a weekday morning, I would find my mind wandering. I would imagine spending time with my grandchildren, quiet evenings with
26、my wife, traveling, or rediscovering some great books. I told myself that I wouldnt sign myself up for any committees, any classes, or anything requiring a schedule.My first day of retirement came at last! I cooked a great breakfast for my wife and me, leisurely read the paper, cleaned a bit of the
27、house, and wrote a few letters to friends. On the second day, I cooked breakfast, read the paper On the third day, This is retirement? I tried to tell myself that it was just the transition(过渡), that those golden moments were right round the corner, and that I would enjoy them soon enough. But somet
28、hing was missing.A former colleague asked a favor. A group of students was going to Jamaica to work with children in the poorest neighborhoods. Would I interrupt my newfound “happiness” and return to the students, just this once? One trip. Thats all. My bags were packed and by the door.The trip was
29、very inspiring. I was moved not only by the poverty I saw but also by the sense of responsibility of the young people on the trip. When I returned home, I offered to work one day a week with a local youth organization. The experience was so positive that I was soon volunteering nearly full-time, wor
30、king with students across North America to assist them in their voluntary work.Now, it seems, the tables have turned. Some days I am the teacher, other days I am the student. These young people have reawakened my commitment(责任感) to social justice issues by challenging me to learn more about the situ
31、ation in the world today, where people are still poor and suffer because of greed, corruption and war. Most important, they have given me the opportunity to continue to participate in helping to find solutions. In return, I help them do their charitable projects overseas. Ive gone from running one s

But a mathematician in Maryland does, and he has come
38、up with mathematical tools to help police find criminals.People who solve crimes look for patterns that might reveal(揭示) the identity of the criminal. Its long been believed, for example, that criminals will break the law closer to where they live, simply because its easier to get around in their ow
39、n neighborhood. If police see a pattern of robberies in a certain area, they may look for a suspect(嫌疑犯) who lives near the crime scenes. So, the farther away from the area a crime takes place, the less likely it is that the same criminal did it.But Mike OLeary, a mathematician at Towson University
40、in Maryland, says that this kind of approach may be too simple. He says that police may get better clues to the location of a criminals home base by combining these patterns with a citys layout(布局) and historical crime records.The records of past crimes contain geographical information and can revea
41、l easy targets that is, the kind of stores that might be less difficult to rob. Because these stores are along roads, the locations of past crimes contain information about where major streets and intersections are. OLeary is writing a new computer program that will quickly provide this kind of info
42、rmation for a given city. His program also includes information about the people who live in the city, and information about how a criminals patterns change with age. Its been shown, for example, that the younger the criminal, the closer to home the crime.Other computer programmers have worked on si
43、milar software, but OLearys uses more math. The mathematician plans to make his computer program available, free of charge, to police departments around the country.The program is just one way to use math to fight crime. OLeary says that criminology the study of crime and criminals contains a lot of
44、 good math problems. “I feel like Im in a gold mine and Im the only one who knows what gold looks like,” he says. “Its a lot of fun.”69. To find criminals, police usually _.A. focus on where crimes take placeB. seek help from local peopleC. depend on new mathematical toolsD. check who are on the cri
45、me scene70. OLeary is writing a computer program that _.A. uses math to increase the speed of calculationB. tells the identity of a criminal in a certain areaC. shows changes in criminals patternsD. provides the crime records of a given city71. By “Im the only one who knows what gold looks like”, OL
46、eary means that he _.A. is better at finding gold than othersB. is the only one who uses math to make moneyC. knows more criminals than other mathematiciansD. knows best how to use math to help solve crimes72. What is the main idea of the text?A. Criminals live near where crimes occur.B. Math could
47、help police find criminals.C. Crime records could be used to fight crime.D. Computer software works in preventing crimes.DIn ancient Japan, if you saved someones life, they would make it their duty to spend the rest of their life serving you. Nowadays, if you rescue someones story, he or she will fe
48、el the same kind of gratitude(感激).It happens all the time. Someone in a group is telling a story and, just before their big point, BOOM! Theres an interruption. Someone new joins the group, a waiter with a plate of biscuits comes over, or a baby starts crying. Suddenly everyones attention turns to t
49、he new arrival, the food on the plate, or the “charming” little child. Nobody is aware of the interruption except the speaker. They forget all about the fact that the speaker hasnt made his or her point.Or youre all sitting around the living room and someone is telling a joke. Suddenly, just before
50、his big punch line(妙语), little Johnny drops a dish or the phone rings. After the crash, everyone talks about little Johnnys carelessness. After the call, the subject turns to the upcoming marriage or medical operation of the caller. Nobody remembers the great punch line got unfinished except the jok
51、e teller. When its you entertaining everyone at a restaurant, have you ever noticed how you can almost set your clock by the waiter coming to take everyones order just before your funny punch line?Most joke and story tellers are too shy to say, after the interruption, “Now, as I was saying” Instead,
52、 theyll spend the rest of the evening feeling bad they didnt get to finish. Heres where you come in. Rescue them with the technique I call “Lend a Helping Tongue.”Watch the gratitude in the storytellers eyes as he stabilizes where his story sunk and he sails off again toward the center of attention.
53、 His expression and the appreciation of your consideration by the rest of the group are often reward enough. You are even more fortunate if you can rescue the story of someone who can hire you, promote you, buy from you, or otherwise lift your life. Big winners have excellent memories. When you do t
54、hem subtle favors like Lend a Helping Tongue, they find a way to pay you back.73. Very often, a storyteller cannot make his point because _.A. people are more interested in food than his storyB. many guests bring their babies to the partyC. his story is easily forgotten by the listenersD. he is inte
55、rrupted by something unexpected74. From Paragraph 3, we know that when someone is telling a joke, _.A. something bad will surely happen just before their punch lineB. the only person really interested in the joke is the joke tellerC. listeners attention is often drawn to something elseD. the waiter
56、knows when to take everyones order75. How can we “Lend a Helping Tongue” to the story tellers, according to the writer?A. Comfort them to make them happy.B. Give them a chance to finish.C. Go on telling the story for them.D. Teach them some useful techniques.76. What is the text mainly about?A. Peop
57、le should learn how to take turns in a conversation.B. Telling jokes will make you the center of attention. ks*5uC. We can win someones heart by getting him back to his story.D. It is impolite to cut in on someones talk.ELast year, Jack Bleed cut through the bone of his ring finger while working. Th
58、e 31-year-old resident of North Little Rock, Arkansas, waited for about six hours at a nearby medical center while the medical staff there called all over town even as far away as Dallas and Memphis to find a hand surgeon to reattach his finger. Finally, a willing doctor was located in Louisville, K
59、entucky. But even though Bleed had insurance(保险), he would have to hire a private plane to get himself there, at a cost of $4,300. In the end, he charged the cost to two credit cards, and his finger was saved. His insurance company eventually covered the cost of the plane, but his experience makes p
60、eople aware of the fact that trauma(外伤) care in the United States is not only geographically limited, but in many places, non-existent.Only eight states New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois, New Mexico, California, Oregon, and Washington have local, fully functional trauma systems. The remaining
61、 states have partial systems, and 12 including Arkansas have no trauma system at all.Although the President has signed a bill of $12 million for the purpose of supporting trauma care systems nationwide, many in Congress(国会) are unwilling to spend government money for a service they think should be p
62、aid for by states, says Wayne Meredith, medical director for trauma programs at the American College of Surgeons. Meanwhile, many states have also failed to find the dollars to support trauma systems. To make matters worse, many people without insurance depend heavily on the emergency care services,
63、 placing a huge financial burden on the medical centers that serve them.For the same reason, doctors, too, often go unpaid. They are unwilling to perform emergency care, worsening critical shortages of neurosurgeons, orthopedists, and hand surgeons the very types of specialists Bleed needed at short
64、 notice. ks*5uSupporting a trauma care system doesnt take much. A half-penny sales tax in Miami-Dade County makes its outstanding system work. In Arkansas alone, says Wayne Meredith, a well-funded trauma system would possibly prevent 200 to 600 deaths each year. If trauma care systems were to work w
65、ell across the nation, experts say, many thousands of lives each year could be saved. “You dont get much better return on your investment than that,” Meredith says.77. In Paragraph 1, the writer uses Bleeds case to _.A. make a comparisonB. describe a personC. introduce a topicD. tell a story78. Many
66、 people in Congress argue that trauma care systems should be supported by _.A. the President B. each stateC. insurance companiesD. the US government79. The example of Miami-Dade County shows that _.A. its tax policy is admirableB. running a trauma system is profitableC. a trauma system is not expens
67、ive D. sales tax is not heavy in small counties80. Why are the present trauma care systems in some states not satisfactory?A. They are shared by all the states.B. They are short of financial support.C. The doctors are not well trained.D. The hospitals cant provide low-cost services.第II 卷（共50分）第四部分：写
