18、 in Intensive Care. Karen makes up her mind. She will take Michael whether they like it or not. If he doesnt see his sister now, he may never see her alive. She dresses him in an oversized suit and marches him into ICU. He looks like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse recognizes him as a c

19、hild and shouts, Get that kid out of here now. No children are allowed. Never disturb patients here. The mother rises up strongly and said, He is not leaving until he sings to his sister! Karen leads Michael to his sisters bedside. He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he begins

Womans Day magazine called it the miracle of a brothers song. The medical staff just called it a miracle. Karen called it a miracle of Gods love!

Others say that the opposite is true:internatio

26、nal competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood.Not only was there the tragic incident i

27、ncluding the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests. One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the fin

28、al decisions. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said, This wasnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished. The president of the Federation said later

29、that such behavior could result in the suspension (停赛) of the team for at least three years. Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might

35、ness(荒野) is the preservation of the world,” This is a farnous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved. As

36、John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to su

37、ch landscapes(景观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans needthe rainforest, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr. Sauven, these “ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation. Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute，takes the

38、 opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not,he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully wan

39、t to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survial. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildemesses provide, the argum

40、ent goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others. I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both c

41、ases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernsses can be exploited without harm. This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness shoul

42、d enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.36.John Sauven holds that_. A. many people value nature too much B. exploitation of wildernesses is harmful C. wildernesses provide humans with necessities D. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong37

43、. What is the main idea of Para. 3? A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people. B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials. C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation. D. All the characteristics concerning the exp|oitation should be treated

44、equally.38. What is the authors attitude towards this debate? A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Skeptical (Doubtful.) D. Optimistic.39. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B.C. D.CP: Central Point P: Point Sp:Sub-point(次要点) C: ConclusionD SAN FRANCISCOA phone app (应用程序) in

45、San Francisco gives information about open parking spots. City officials in San Francisco introduced the app to try to reduce traffic jams in the city, but some say it raises safety concerns. In this city, drivers searching for parking spots lead to 30 percent of all downtown jams, city officials th

46、ink. Now San Francisco has found a solutiona phone app for spot-seekers that displays information about areas with available spaces. The system, introduced last month, relies on wireless sensors (感应器) fixed in streets and city garages that can tell within seconds if a spot has opened up. Momique Sol

47、tani, a TV reporter, said she and her sister spent 25 minutes on Friday trying topark.“We were praying to the parking god that wed find a spot,” she said.“If we had the app, we would not have to pray tO the parking god. ”But the system could come with serious consequences. Some people say that drive

48、rs searching for parking could end up focusing on their phones, not the road.“It could be really distracting (使分心的) ,” said Daniel Simons, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois. City officials acknowledge the potential problem. They are urging drivers to pull over before they use t

49、he citys iPhone app, or to do so before they leave home. Nathaniel Ford, executive director of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, said safety could actually improve if drivers quickly found a spot instead of circling and getting frustrated. San Francisco has put sensors into 7,000 pa

50、rking spots and 12,250 spots in city garages. If spaces in an area open up, the sensors communicate wirelessly with computers that in turn make the information available to app users within a minute, said Mr. Ford, of the transportation agency. On the app, a map shows which blocks have lots of place

51、s (blue) and which are full (red). More than 12,000 people have downloaded San Franciscos app, which is available now only for the iPhone but which city officiais say they hope to bring to all similar devices. When it is stared up, the citys parking warns drivers not to use the system while in motio

52、n. But safety advocates said that might not be sufficient. After all, they say, texting while driving is illegal in California and in many states, but a number of surveys, including one by the Pew Research Center, show that many Americans do it anyway. Elizabeth Stampe, executive director of Walk Sa

53、n Francisco, a pedestrian advocacy group, Said she hoped the new parking app would lead to fewer accidents. “Its an innovative idea,” she said. “The safe way for people to use the device is for them to pull over, which they know they should do. The question is whether they will.” But Ms. Soltani,the

54、 TV reporter, said using the app would probably join the group of activities already performed by drivers. “Were already looking at Google Maps and Facebook on the phone while we drive,” shesaid. “Arent we always looking at something on our phone or changing the radio, or drinking coffee? Youre alwa

55、ys slightly distracted when youre driving. ”40. What is the phone app mentioned in the text mainly aimed at? A. Making full use of the parking spots. B. Making the traffic flow smoothly. C. Preventing traffic accidens. D. Benefiting iPhone users.41. According to the text, San Francisco city official

56、s_. A. dont consider the app distracting B. advise drivers to park cars slowly C. are aware of the apps disadvantages D. believe more parking spots are needed42. How do drivers locate the parking spots? A. Sensorscomputersapp. B. Appcomputerssensors. C.Sensorsappcomputers. D. Computersappsensors.43.

Which of the following is TRUE according tO the text? A. Daniel Simons the app convenient. B. San Francisco will put more sens
