2、ame, but she has influenced the way I treat many other patients. I was working the 3-11 pm shift at a small hospital at that time. The patient was a 42-year-old woman who had 3 a heart attack.

6、told that she had 14 at midnight. She wanted company and I let her down. She left the world quietly. If I had stayed in her room, would she be home surrounded by her 15 right now? I would never know. What I do know is this: I have cared about every patient's request since that night. 1. A. fortu

In America, there are more families with pets 16 those with children. It is common 17 U.S. homes have some sort of

10、pets, such as monkeys, snakes and even wolves. But Americans all-time favorites are cats and dogs, because dogs can offer protection 18 thieves and unwelcome visitors and cats can help get rid of the home unwanted pests. Beneath keeping pets, there lies a basic American belief: Pets have a right to

At last his health problems became too serious. He left and formed his own company. With his wife and mother, he founded Arnold Bakery.

15、 They tried new recipes(配方), changing the kind and amount of flour used. This enabled Arnold to work there without too much pain. The bread, made with unbleached flour, was baked in a brick oven.

Only a brave man, or

20、 a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are a

21、mong the most interesting of antiques. I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. “The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands

22、. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round peoples wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves.” Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality,

23、 but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time. So it seems that the first c

24、locks were human beings. However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast(投射) by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend

25、as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past. Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you

26、 are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in an antique clock and perhaps make a future profit? 31. According to the passage, collecting antique clocks _. A. can hardly keep the value of your savings B. will cost much of your savings C. may increase your wealth D. needs your bravery 32. By quot

27、ing(引用) the remark of a being from another planet, the author intends to _. A. suggest human beings are controlled by a clock B. describe why clocks can rule the planet Earth C. tell readers what clocks look like D. compare clocks to human beings 33. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way

28、to measure the time? A. Counting the beating of one's own heart. B. Making use of candles, sand and water. C. Observing shadows cast by the sun. D. Keeping slaves busy day and night. 34. The underlined phrase stately homes in paragraph 4 means _. A. state-owned houses B. houses in very good cond

29、ition C. grand houses open to the public D. houses where statesmen meet regularly 35. The purpose of the passage is _ A. to introduce the culture of antique clocks B. to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks C. to compare different ways to make a future profit D. to explain convenient and r

30、eliable ways of telling time C At 10:35 a.m. on December 17, 1903, two brothers from Ohio flew the first successful airplane for 12 seconds and 120 feet along a beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. With Orville flying first, the brothers took turns as pilot, and they flew three more times that day.

31、On their fourth try, they managed to go 852 feet in 59 seconds an amazing achievement at the time. The two brothers had invented powered flight. Orville and Wilbur Wright owned a bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio. Although they had not gone to school to learn about airplanes or engineering, they were goo

32、d mechanics. By repairing bicycles, they had learned how gears and pulleys worked. They also learned to take careful notes about what they saw. Each time they made a new design and tested a machine, they took notes and made drawings. They would study these to figure out what they could do better the

33、 next time. Before the Wright brothers flew, they did many things to prepare for this extraordinary achievement. They read everything they could find about air, balloons, and kites. Then they made careful sketches of what they wanted to build. They began by making model kites to learn how air flowed

34、 over wings. They made them bigger and bigger until they had a glider a kite that is big enough to hold a person, but with no engine. The Wright brothers made three gliders before building their first airplane. Each time they made a glider, they would test it, make careful observations, and then imp

35、rove their design. When they made a glider that flew well, they added an engine. This step was harder than it sounds, because they had to find an engine that was both light-weight and powerful. The engines that they could buy were either too heavy or too weak, so they asked their friend Charlie Tayl

36、or to help them build one. The first engine that Charlie built broke almost immediately, but the second one worked well. After Orville and Wilbur installed the engine in their plane, they were almost ready. They simply had to wait for the perfect day with just the right amount of wind. On the mornin

37、g of December 17, 1903, they had their chance. And the airplane flew into history. 36. What was the speed of the first flight? A. 10 feet per second. B. 120 feet per minute. C. 12 feet per second.

38、ttle formal education. B. They owned a successful business. C. They were very thorough in their work. D. They had experienced many failures. 38. The brothers constructed a number of kites in order to_. A. test the materials they would use for their plane B. prove that building a flying machine was p

42、ime. China became the worlds second-largest auto market and third-largest car-maker in 2006.

43、nt. The number of cars on the road is going up rapidly in China. In Beijing, about 1,000 new cars are added to the streets on an average day. Cars certainly offer people plenty of freedom to move around. But in many Chinese cities, appearance of too many cars has turned into a major problem. Getting

44、 stuck in traffic jams is an everyday experience for drivers. Even worse is the environmental impact(影響) caused by cars. According to a national report, on a “smog day”, 79 percent of the air pollution is caused by cars. The growing number of traffic accidents is another problem. Over 100,000 people

45、 die from traffic accidents every year in China, which is by far the highest number of road deaths in the world. 108 cities participation in Car-Free Day shows growing public concern about the traffic and environmental problems caused by cars. On this day, all cars were banned from running in select

46、ed areas of the participating cities. People were encouraged to walk, cycle and use public transport.
