With a pleasing smile she asked him again and he just kept doing the same and saying the same words, but in about 3 minutes, he closed his eyes. the nurse felt his pulse and found out that the patient had died.

    The nurse felt so sorry for the poor patient who had ended his llfe very far away from his home that she ran to the doctor in a hurry and repeated to the doctor the sounds she had heard. "My dear girl," said the doctor after listening to what she repeated,"you've just killed him. He was saying, You've been standing on my oxygen pipe."

    Passage Five

    Most famous people have some unusual story associated with their names. Casanova, for example, was a legend in his own time. He was the epitome of the gallant adventurer and lover. However, he spent thirteen years of his life as a librarian!

    Thomas Edison, the brilliant inventor, was deaf from the age of twelve. The young Edison's hearing loss was long believed to have been caused when he tried to catch a moving train and a conductor grabbed him by the ears to pull him on board. Edison himself liked to tell this story. No one is really sure how he did lose his hearing.

    Great writers and artists often require various types of inspirational warm-up before they create. Rudyard Kipling could not write unless his pen was filled with black ink, and only black ink. Ludwig van Beethoven poured icy cold water over his head before he composed his music. He felt that the cold water would refresh his brain. The author Charles Dickens always faced north when working or sleeping. Tycho Brahe, an important Danish astronomer, had his nose shot off in a duel with a Danish nobleman in 1566. He replaced it with another nose made of gold. President James Garfield could simultaneously write Latin with one hand and Greek with the other.

    The Theory of Everyone
      If Stephen Hawking lives until the year 2017, he will have lived more than 50 years longer than his doctors expected. When he was a college student, doctors discovered that he had a rare disease. This disease causes a gradual disintegration(分解)of the nerve cells in the brain cells that regulate voluntary muscle activity. Death almost always occurs within two or three years.
      Today Stephen Hawking cannot walk or speak. He cannot move his arms or his head. He cannot taste or smell anything. And yet this man is Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, a position held by the famous scientist Isaac Newton in 1669.
      Hawking is often described as the greatest scientist since Albert Einstein, but to the world outside science, he is also known as the man who made scientific theory understandable. His book, A Brief History of Time, has sold over eight million copies.
      He says that since he does not have to think about his body or do any of the things other men have to worry about, such as washing the car or working in the yard, he can dedicate all of his time to thinking. This puts him in the perfect position to find the answer to the question that he has dedicated his life to. His question is: Is there a complete theory of the universe and everything in it?
      Despite his tremendous physical disabilities, he has already made some very important discoveries about the origin of the universe, how the universe holds together, and how it will probably end. He has also been able to explain the secrets of “black holes” in space. Now he is looking for a set of rules that everything in our universe must obey. He calls it the Theory of Everything. He thinks that someone will have found the answer within the next 20 years.
      If Stephen Hawking is able to find his Theory of Everything, he will have given the world the opportunity to understand things that will change the whole nature of science and probably also the way we live.

    The Mind-Body Connections

    Norman Cousins was a famous American magazine editor. In 1964,he returned from an overseas trip
    and then became very ill.In the hospital,he had a terrible pain and couldn't move his body.Doctors told
    him he had a serious disease called ankylosing spondylitis(强直性脊柱炎)and said he had only 1 chance in
    500 of surviving. They gave him powerful drugs,but his condition only got worse.
    Cousins had read about a theory that negative emotions can harm your health.He believed that positive
    emotions were good for one's health,and he decided to try an experiment.He would fill his days with good
    feelings and laughter and see if that might improve his condition.
    He left the hospital and moved into a hotel room.There,he got a large supply of funny TV programs and
    copies of old Marx Brothers movies and cartoons.He also hired a nurse to read funny stories to him.His plan
    was to spend the whole day laughing and thinking about happy things.On his first night in the hotel,Cousins
    found that laughing at the movies helped his body produce chemicals that reduced pain.For the first time in
    weeks,he could sleep comfortably for a few hours.Every time the pain came back,he watched another
    funny movie and laughed until he felt better.
    Over time,Cousins was able to measure changes in his body with blood tests.He found that the harmful
    chemicals in his body decreased at least 5 percent every time he watched a funny movie.After a short time,
    he was able to stop taking all of his medications.Finally his condition improved so much that he could go
    back to work.
    Cousins later wrote a book about how laughter and happiness helped him to survive a deadly illness.
    Many people didn't believe his story and said that his doctors were wrong about his disease.But since then,
    research has found that emotions do have a strong effect on physical health,and experiments found that
    laughter can help to reduce pain.Scientists today are working to understand the ways that our minds affect
    our bodies.

    Cousins started watching movies because he was bored.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:B
    解析:
    由文章第一段第二句“In 1 964 , he returned from an overseas trip and then became very ill.”可知,Norman Cousins是在一次海外旅行归来之后才生病的,故选B。
    由文章第一段倒数第二句中“Doctors told him…he had only 1 chance in 500 of survi-ving.”可知,医生告诉Norman Cousins,他只有1/500的可能生还,这也就意味着他极有可能会 死,故选A。
    由文章第一段的最后一句话“They gave him powerful drugs , but his condition only got worse.”可知,医生开的药只让他的情况变得更加糟糕,通过下文的叙述可知,Norman Cousins 的病是经愉悦心情的影响而好转的,故选B。
    由文章的第二、三段可知,Norman Cousins之所以看电影是因为他在读过一个消极情绪 影响健康的理论,他决定用切身的实践来验证愉悦的心情能改善健康状况。他看电影是让自 己发笑,保持好心情。
    由文章第三段的内容可知,Norman Cousins的计划是花上一整天的时间大笑,想象愉快 的事情;他找很多有趣的电视节目和许多喜剧电影和卡通作品,甚至还请了一位护士给他读滑 稽故事。因此他一天中大部分时间在笑声中度过,故选A。
    文中仅仅提及了Norman Cousins用电影和滑稽故事来使自己保持心情愉悦,并未提及 哪一种更为有效,故选C。

This is, as it were, his professional equipment. In addition tothis, it is desirable that he should have an 13 mind, wide interests, a good memory and the ability to grasp quicklythe basic principles of new developments. He should be willing to work on hisown, often at high speeds, but should be humble enough to 14 othersshould his own knowledge not always prove adequate to the task in hand. He shouldbe able to type fairly quickly and accurately and, if he is working mainly forpublication, should have more than a nodding 15 with printing techniques andproof-reading. If he is working basically as an information translator, let ussay, for an industrial firm, he should have the flexibility of mind to enablehim to 16 rapidly from one sourcelanguage to another, as well as from one subject-matter to another, since thisability is frequently required of him in such work.

    Passage One

    One of the well-known of American writers is Samuel Clemens, whose pen name is Mark Twain. Bom in 1835, Twain grew up in the Mississippi River town of Hannibal, Missouri. As did many other boys of his day,

    Twain dreamed of traveling on river boats and of someday becoming a riverboat pilot. Twain used his memories of the life of a river town in his two most famous books, Huckleberry Finn and Torn Sawyer.

    As a young man, Twain held many jobs. He was a printer, a good miner, and, for a time, he was a riverboat pilot. During his pilot days, he adopted the name Mark Twain. This was a term used by the boatmen to mean that the water measured two fathoms, or twelve feet, which was deep enough for safe passage.

    Finally Twain became a successful writer. He traveled a great deal, writing and speaking, and became very popular both in the United States and in Europe.

    Twain's style. of writing was simple and direct. Among the things he wrote about were superstitious (迷信的) people and people who were easily fooled. He used his unusual gift for humor to write about many things of importance.

    句意:事实上,当他走近这尊著名的雕像时,他几乎抑制不住在包里找相机的冲动。impulse冲动,可以与resisted形成搭配,符合逻辑。impatience急躁,不耐烦。incentive刺激物,奖励。initiative主动。三个词均不能和resisted搭配。

    Practice 3  Franklin's life is full of charming stories which all young men should know- how he peddled ballads in Boston, and stood, the guest of kings, in Europe; how he worked his passage as a stowaway to Philadelphia, and rode in the queen's own litter in France; how he walked the streets of Philadelphia, homeless and known, with three- penny rolls for his breakfast, and dined at the tables of princes, and received his friends in a palace; how he raised a kite from a cow shed, and was showered with all the high degrees the colleges of the world could give; how he was duped by a false friend as a boy, and became the friend of all humanity as a man; how he was made Major General Franklin, only to resign because, as he said, he was no soldier, and yet helped to organize the army that stood before the trained troops of England and Germany.  This poor Boston boy, with scarcely a day's schooling, became master of six languages and never stopped learning; this neglected apprentice tamed the lightning, made his name famous, received degrees and diplomas from colleges in both hemispheres, and became forever remembered as “Doctor Franklin”, philosopher, patriot, scientist, philanthropist and statesman.

    富兰克林一生充满了令人着迷的故事,年轻人都应当知道:他怎样在波士顿沿街叫卖民谣唱本,而后来却成了欧洲各国君主的座上宾;他怎样偷偷溜上船,以打工抵付船票来到费城,而后来却在法国坐上了王后的凤辇;他怎样在费城街头四处流浪,无家可归,无人知晓,早饭以三便士的面包卷充饥,而后来却与欧洲各国王子共进晚餐,并在王宫里接待朋友;他怎样从牛棚上放飞风筝,而后来自世界各地的大学却纷纷授予他一切高等学位;童年时他怎样受一个假朋友欺骗,而成年后却成为全人类的朋友;他怎样被授予少将衔,却辞去军职,因为他说他并非行伍出身,然而就是他帮助组建了一支与训练有素的英德联军对阵的军队。
    这个波士顿穷孩子,几乎没有上过一天学,后来却通晓六门语言,而且学习从不间断。这个不被人重视的学徒征服了闪电,名扬四海,获得了东西两半球大学的学位和证书,成为世人铭记的“富兰克林博士”、哲学家、爱国志士、科学家、慈善家和政治家。
