to suffer from poisoning, the police came to find the cause of poisoning. they thought someone was poisoning the people on purpose, but no one knew how it was possible. soon people held the view that the pork was poisoned. it was a popular food everyone ate and it could have possibly made everyone sick. anyone who had possession of pork would throw it out. even the poorest of the poor wouldnt eat pork. signs were posted on poles and letters were sent to everyone to warn people of the pork. shortly afterwards, even policemen in high positions were also getting sick.soon it became political and popular. politicians rushed to the town to talk about politics and promised how they would find the solution if they were elected. everyone was so sick that they didnt care about politics. everyone was in a position where he or she didnt know what to do anymore. they went to the post office to mail posts out asking for help. the poor town didnt know how to deal with the situation.one day, a well-known scientist from new york came to the town with a huge box containing many instruments and his possessions. he went to pools and the port and made measurements. he was quiet and polite. then one day he made a speech at a newspaper meeting-room to announce his findings.“i am sorry to say your water supply is so heavily polluted; it is poisoned. i know who has been poisoning you all for such a long time. it is you who have been poisoning yourselves with pollution. a great deal of rubbish has been thrown into the water day after day. no one here has taken good care of the environment. it is no wonder all of you have been sick.” shocked at the news, the people present were lost in thought.56.the first paragraph is mainly about _.a. the opinion that the pork should be thrown out b. the fact that people suffer from poisoningc. the fact that pork was a popular food everyone ate d. the news that policemen were getting sick57.the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to “_”.a.

assistant. when you took my bag, i dont know what you thought you were going to get. with my wages, theres not much left on a tuesday. i hope the 5 was useful to you. i have informed the social security office so you wont be able to cash the child benefit next week. i hope that wont leave you too short. but if you really need a couple of pounds, i suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book. of course, i phoned the bank right away and the check-casing card is no longer valid, so it wont be much use to you. actually i dont mind about the money too much. we single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. however, i dont suppose it went very far among the three of you. sorry about that!i wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. there were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that i really need. i really think that was very inconsiderate of you. i mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?well, perhaps the bag will turn up. it wasnt even an expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag. you probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. weve looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop. im not really angry with you. i know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but i am sad at the loss of my personal things. i feel violated and helpless. the police were very icy, and they just shrugged（耸） their shoulders. it happens all the time, they told me. some small comfort, i suppose. but ive lost just a little more faith in human nature. and as my young son said when i told him what had happened, why? mummy, why us? i couldnt answer that question. i wonder if you can. 60. in writing paragraph 2, the writer wants to a. describe the contents of the bag in detail b. tell the thieves hardly any money was availablec. give some

papers and notes in the bag d. the check books in the bag62. what can we conclude about the police?a. they have doubts about human natureb. they think the case quite commonc. they show sympathy for the womand. they are unable to find the thieves63. why does the author write the letter?a. to give the thieves a serious warningb. to call peoples attention to their belongingsc. to complain about the fall of moralityd. to express her affection for her valuable bagca woman in the us is able to speak for the first time in 11 years after a pioneering voice box transplant（移植）. brenda jensen said the operation was a great success which had saved her life. thirteen days after the surgery she said her first words: good morning, i want to go home. it is the first time a voice box and windpipe（气管） have been transplanted at the same time and only the second time a voice box has ever been transplanted. ms. jensen, 52, had been unable to speak on her own since her voice box was damaged during surgery in 1999. since then, she has been unable to taste or smell food, could breathe only through a hole in her windpipe and could talk only with the help of an electronic voice box. in october, surgeons at the university of california davis medical centre removed the voice box and 6cm of the windpipe from a donor body. in an 18-hour operation, this was transplanted into ms. jensens throat and the team connected it to her blood supply and nerves（神经）. professor martin birchall from university college london, who was part of the surgery team, said: weve learned that we can repair nerves to make even very complex organs function again. itll open the door to better facial transplants and will be extremely important as tissue engineering develops. a voice box transplant might be life changing, but it is not life saving. everyone who receives a transplant must take drugs to control the immune system（免疫系统）for the rest of their lives. these drugs can reduce life expectancy, so they are normally set aside for life saving procedures. one of the reasons ms. jensen was a suitable person for this transplant was that she was already taking immune controlling drugs after a kidney-pancreas transplant four years ago. professor peter belafsky, part of the surgical team, said: brenda was an exceptional candidate for the transplant because she was highly motivated. anyone whos met brenda knows that she is a strong and determined person with a great outlook on life in spite of the many physical challenges shes faced over her lifetime. 64. ms. jensen was a suitable person for this transplant because she was _. a. determined and realistic b. experienced and bravec. seriously ill and motivated d. strong-willed and prepared 65. which of the following is the right time order of the event?a. ms. jensen received a voice box transplant operation. b. ms. jensen began to take immune controlling drugs. c. doctors removed the voice box from a donor body. d. ms. jensen had a kidney-pancreas transplant oper
