12、标号涂黑。My class and I visited Chris Care Center in Phoenix, Arizona to comfort the old people who needed a little cheering up during the holiday season.

13、ers that we left with them. As we were _23_ on the third floor for old people with Alzheimer (老年痴呆症), most of them _24_ off at the walls or floor. However, one lady _25_ my eye.

The difference between us is that he _34_ on her n

16、eeds, but I didnt. During the last song, “Silent Night,” Justin walked over to her and held her hand. He looked this aged lady in her _35_ and with his actions said, “You are important, and I will take my _36_ to let you know that.” This tired, elderly lady stopped singing and held his hand. Then sh

21、，第一节共20小题, 第二节共5小题，每小题2分；满分50分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。AI dont ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what its like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those st

22、ories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes. At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earn

23、ing my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievementjobs, research papers, awardswas viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) righ

24、t brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind. Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations(刺激): I dont talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get bac

25、k the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didnt want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I dont study sociology or political theory. I research and teach at Barnard, a womens college in New York City. Rece

26、ntly, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I dont dismiss those concerns. Still, I dont tell

27、them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And thats a sight worth talking about.41. Why doesnt the author want to talk about

28、being a woman scientist again? A. She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields. B. She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination. C. She is not good at telling stories of the kind. D. She finds space research more important.42. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would say the a

29、uthors failures were due to _. A. the very fact that she is a woman B. her involvement in gender politics C. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist D. the burden she bears in a male-dominated society43. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral rese

30、arch? A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science. B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle. C. Peoples stereotyped(模式化的) attitude toward female scientists. D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurture.44. Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talkin

31、g about her class? A. Female students no longer have to bother about gender issues. B. Her students performance has brought back her confidence. C. Her female students can do just as well as male students. D. More female students are pursuing science than before.45. What does the image the author pr

32、esents to her students suggest? A. Women students neednt have the concerns of her generation. B. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success. C. Women can balance a career in science and having a family. D. Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career.BOccasional self-medica

33、tion has always been part of normal living. The making and selling of drugs have a long history and are closely linked, like medical practice itself, with the belief in magic. Only during the last hundred years or so has the development of scientific techniques made it possible for some of the cause

34、s of symptoms to be understood, so that more accurate diagnosis has become possible. The doctor is now able to follow up the correct diagnosis(诊断)of many illnesses with specific treatment of their causes. In many other illnesses, of which the causes remain unknown, it is still limited, like the unqu

35、alified prescriber (出具处方者), to the treatment of symptoms. The doctor is trained to decide when to treat symptoms only and when to attack the cause: this is the essential difference between medical prescribing and self-medication.The advance of technology has brought about much progress in some field

36、s of medicine, including the development of scientific drug therapy (治疗法). In many countries public health organization is improving and peoples nutritional standards have risen. Parallel with such beneficial trends have two harmful effects. One is the use of high-pressure advertising by the pharmac

37、eutical（制药）industry, which has tended to influence both patients and doctors and has led to the overuse of drugs generally. The other is the emergence of the sedentary (需要久坐的) society with its faulty ways of life: lack of exercise, over-eating, unsuitable eating, not enough sleep, too much smoking a

38、nd drinking. People with disorders arising from faulty habits such as these, as well as from unhappy human relationships, often resort to self-medication and so add the taking of pharmaceuticals to the list. Advertisers go to great lengths to catch this market.Clever advertising, aimed at chronic (慢

39、性的) sufferers who will try anything because doctors have not been able to cure them, can induce such faith in a preparation, particularly if steeply priced, that it will produceby suggestiona very real effect in some people. Advertisements are also aimed at people suffering from mild complaints such

40、 as simple colds and coughs, which clear up by themselves within a short time.These are the main reasons why laxatives, indigestion remedies, painkillers, tonics, vitamin and iron tablets and many other preparations are found in quantity in many households. It is doubtful whether taking these things

41、 ever improves a persons health; it may even make it worse. Worse because the preparation may contain unsuitable ingredients; worse because the taker may become dependent on them; worse because they might be taken in excess; worse because they may cause poisoning, and worse of all because symptoms o

42、f some serious underlying cause may be masked and therefore medical help may not be sought.46. The first paragraph is intended to _.A. suggest that self-medication has a long historyB. define what diagnosis means exactlyC. praise doctors for their expertiseD. tell the symptoms from the causes47 Adve

43、rtisements are aimed at people suffering from mild complaints because _.A. they often watch ads on TVB. they are more likely to buy the drugs advertisedC. they generally lead a sedentary lifeD. they dont take to sports and easily catch colds48. Paragraphs 2 and 3 explain _.A. those good things are n

44、ot without side effectsB. why clever advertising is so powerfulC. why in modern times self-medication is still practisedD. why people develop faulty ways of life49. The best title for the passage would be _.A. Medical Practice B. Clever AdvertisingC. Self-Medication D. Self-TreatmentCI had an experi

45、ence some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to conduct two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died full of years, as the Bible would say; both yielded to the

46、 normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon. At the first home, the son of the dead woman said to me, If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of th

47、is cold and snow, she would be alive today. Its my fault that she died. At the second home, the son of the other dead woman said, If only I hadnt insisted on my mothers going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It

48、s my fault that shes dead. When things dont turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests(牧师) know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action t

49、hey took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course - keeping Mother at home, delaying the operation would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse? There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to

50、believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds. The second element is the concept that we are the cause of what hap

51、pens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile(幼儿的) myth of omnipotence (万能). A baby comes to

52、think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and orders the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we

53、do not completely outgrow that infantile concept that our wishes cause things to happen. 50. What is said about the two dead elderly women? A. They lived out a natural life. B. They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride. C. They werent accustomed to the change in weather. D. They died due to

54、lack of care by family members. 51. The author had to conduct the two womens funerals probably because _. A. he wanted to comfort the two families B. he was an official from the community C. he had great sympathy for the dead D. he was priest of the local church 52. People feel guilty for the deaths

55、 of their loved ones because _ A. they couldnt find a better way to express their deep sorrow B. they believe that they were responsible C. they had overlooked the natural course of events D. they didnt know things often turn out in the opposite direction 53. In the context of the passage, . the wor

56、ld makes sense (Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that_. A. everything in the world is decided in advanceB. the world can be interpreted in different ways C. theres an explanation for everything in the world D. we have to be sensible in order to understand the world 54. People have been made to believe since infancy that _. A. everybody is at their command B. life and death is an unsolved
