12、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. The first two _21_ there were for persons requiring help in taking care of themselves. We sang _22_ for them. They loved our sweet songs and the flower

13、s that we left with them. As we were _23_ on the third floor for old people with Alzheimer (老年癡呆癥), most of them _24_ off at the walls or floor. However, one lady _25_ my eye. She was sitting by the door, in a wheelchair, singing songs to herself. They werent the songs that we were singing, at least

14、 they didnt _26_ like that. As we got _27_ with each festive song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got. _28_ she was singing, she was also _29_ out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my _30_ were to my students. People who

15、 worked at the care center could _31_ to her, I thought. Just when I stopped feeling _32_ about not giving her the attention she needed, one of my students, Justin, showed me what the holiday season is really about. Justin also _33_ the same lady. The difference between us is that he _34_ on her nee

16、ds, 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 she

17、touched his cheek with the other hand. Tears began to fall down her face. No _37_ can completely describe that touching moment. It _38_ a boy to teach me, a man, about kindness and love. Justins example of a complete, selfless attitude toward another was a _39_ that I will never forget. He was the t

21、一節(jié)共20小題, 第二節(jié)共5小題，每小題2分；滿分50分）第一節(jié)：閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項。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 stor

22、ies 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 earnin

23、g 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 (性別) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相對于) right

24、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 back

25、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. Recent

26、ly, 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 th

27、em “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 be

28、ing 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 t

29、he authors 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

30、Ph.D. and post-doctoral research? 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 gr

31、eat satisfaction when talking 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

32、does the image the author presents 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 ca

33、reer.BOccasional self-medication 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 po

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

35、still limited, like the unqualified prescriber (出具處方者), 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

36、 much progress in some fields of medicine, including the development of scientific drug therapy (治療法). In many countries public health organization is improving and people's nutritional standards have risen. Parallel with such beneficial trends have two harmful effects. One is the use of high-pr

37、essure advertising by the pharmaceutical（制藥）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

38、 enough sleep, too much smoking and 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

39、 advertising, aimed at chronic (慢性的) 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 su

40、ffering from mild complaints such 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 dou

41、btful whether taking these things ever improves a person's 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 poisonin

42、g, and worse of all because symptoms of 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. te

43、ll the symptoms from the causes47 Advertisements 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 don't take to sports and easily catch colds48. Paragraphs 2

44、 and 3 explain _.A. those good things are not 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-M

45、edication D. Self-TreatmentCI had an experience 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 y

46、ears," as the Bible would say; both yielded to the 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

47、only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It's my fault that she died." At the second home, the son of the other dead woman said, "If only I hadn't insisted on my mother's going to Florida, she would be alive today.

48、 That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It's my fault that she's dead." When things don't 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. Pr

49、iests(牧師) know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they 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 wor

50、se? There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to 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 exis

51、t and where they exist only in our minds. The second element is the concept that we are the cause of what happens, 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 m

52、ay lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile(幼兒的) myth of omnipotence (萬能). A baby comes to 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

53、 to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we 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 e

54、xhaustion after the long plane ride. C. They weren't accustomed to the change in weather. D. They died due to lack of care by family members. 51. The author had to conduct the two women's funerals probably because _. A. he wanted to comfort the two families B. he was an official from the com

55、munity C. he had great sympathy for the dead D. he was priest of the local church 52. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _ A. they couldn't find a better way to express their deep sorrow B. they believe that they were responsible C. they had overlooked the natural cour

56、se of events D. they didn't know things often turn out in the opposite direction 53. In the context of the passage, ". the world 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. there's 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 mystery C. every story should have a hap
