In many ways, this is 36 for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the sane 37 night after night. One would 38 them to know their parts by heart and 39 have cause to falter（結(jié)巴）.Yet40is not always the case.A famous actor in a 41 successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat 42 had been imprisoned in Bastille for twenty years. In the last act，a gaoler（監(jiān)獄長(zhǎng)，看守）would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner. 43 the noble was expected to read the letter at each 44 ,he always insisted that it should be written out in full.One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke 45 his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the 46 of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed（使顯露）the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then，the gaoler 47 with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the 48and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in 49 as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly,50 to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then，squinting（瞇著眼看）his eves，he said,“The light is 51.Read the letter to me.”And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler.52 that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied，“The light is indeed dim，sir. I must get my 53”With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrats 54 ，the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the 55 copy of the letter which he proceeded（繼續(xù)進(jìn)行）to read to the prisoner.36A. fortunateB. unfortunateC. happyD. unhappy37A. linesB. wordsC. playsD. roles38A. wantB. askC. expectD. wish39A. alwaysB. neverC. sometimesD. often40A. suchB. the thingC. oneD. this41A. highlyB. highC. poorlyD. poor42A. whereB. whatC. whichD. who43A.

The power of the blast shattered（使粉碎）nearby shop windows and ripped the stainless（不生銹的）steel rubbish can to pieces.One passer-by，identified（確認(rèn)）only as Zhang，said she was shocked by the noise and saw a lot of pedestrians lying on the ground when she got to the scene.Thirteen of the injured were taken to a local hospital after the explosion. A doctor there said five were in serious condition but already out of danger after emergency treatment. The others were just slightly hurt.The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, said an officer with the Tongren police, but refused to speculate as to the cause.56It can be inferred from the passage that _.A.

Theyre at bus, train and city tube stations（地鐵）.Many universities, hospitals and clubs. Restaurants and gas stations on the highway and shopping centres. At airports and seaports.（3） No more broken payphones.Most broken payphones are like that because theyve been vandalized（故意破壞）. There are no coins in Cardphone to excite thieves interest in it.

Make your call.A. a, b, c, d B. c, a, d, bC. a, d, c, b D. c, d, a, bCA few days ago I asked my sons governess（女家庭教師）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Lets settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe youre too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month.”“Forty.”“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, youve been here two months, so.”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays. you know you didnt work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays. ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word.“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off . that leaves. hmm. forty one dollars. Correct？”Julias left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but - still not a word.“Around New Years Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didnt I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dicks shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”“You didnt. ”sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well. if you say so.”“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”“Really? You see now, and I didnt know that! Take three from fourteen. leaves eleven. Heres your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.“Merci （法語: 謝謝）,”she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this - merci?” I asked.“For the money. ”“But you know Ive cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why thismerci？”“In my other places they didnt give me anything at all.”“They didnt give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you. I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you. Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didnt you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）to be such a fool?”Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !”63While talking to Julia, the wrier expected from her _.A. a protestB. gratitudeC. obedience D. an explanation64What shocked the writer was Julias _.A. nervousness in front of her bossB. acceptance of injusticeC. shyness when talking about moneyD. reluctance to express herself65The writer said, “Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?” He was actually telling the governess _.A. to be more aggressiveB. to be more careful in her workC. to protect her rightD. to live independently66At the end of the story, the writer said,“ How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!”to show _.A. his understanding of Julias anxietyB. his worry about Julias futureC. his concern on the living condition of working - class peopleD. his sympathy for the mental state of those exploited67From the story, we can tell that Julias employer was _.A. greedy but honestB. ill - tempered but warm - heartedC. strict but forgivingD. none of the aboveDWant a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient - no matter where he or she may be.Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms（癥狀）are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis（遠(yuǎn)程診斷）will be based on real physiological data（生理數(shù)據(jù)）from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone ,it is perfectly practical to send a patients important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural （countryside） care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need - especially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts opinions.But there is one problem. Bandwidth（寬帶） is the limiting factor for sending complex （復(fù) 雜 ）medical pictures around the world,CU photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites say be able to deal with the short - term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second - generation Internet and third generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.Doctors have met to discuss computer - based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, expertsopinions and diagnosis are common.68The writer chiefly talks about _ .A. the use of telemedicineB. the on -lined doctorsC. medical care and treatmentD. communication improvement69Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Patients dont need doctors in hospitals any more.B. It is impossible to send a patients signs over the telephone.C. Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.D. Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future.70The“problem”in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that _ .A. bandwidth isnt big enough to send complex medical picturesB. the second - generation of Internet has not become popular yetC. communication satellites can only deal with short - term needsD. there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical careESo long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning , they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that“ reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private ,for learning is an occupation of the mind ,and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. ”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teachers fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by rea
