The Body Thieves
In the early nineteenth century in Britain,many improvements were being made in the
world of medicine.Doctors and surgeons were becoming more knowledgeable about the
human body.Illnesses that had been fatal a few years before were now curable.However,
surgeons had one problem.They needed dead bodies to cut up,or dissect（解剖）.This
was the only way that they could learn about the flesh and bones inside the body,and the
only way to teach new surgeons to carry out operations.
The job of finding these dead bodies was carried out by an unpleasant group of people
called "body snatchers". They went into graveyards（墓地）at night and, using wooden
shovels to make less noise,dug up any recently buried bodies.Then they took the bodies
to the medical schools and sold them.A body could be sold for between ￡5 and ￡10,
which was a lot of money at that time.The doctors who paid the body snatchers had an
agreement with them一they never asked any questions.They did not desire to know where
the bodies came from,as long as they kept arriving.
The most famous of these body snatchers were two men from Edinburgh called William
Burke and Wil!iam Hare.Burke and Hare were different because they did not」ust dig up
bodies from graveyards.They got greedy and thought of an easier way to find bodies.
Instead of digging them up,they killed the poorer guests in Hare's small hotel.Dr Knox,
the respected surgeon they worked for,never asked why all the bodies they brought him
had been strangled（勒死）.
For many years Burke and Hare were not caught because,unsurprisingly,the bodies
of their victims were never found by the police.They were eventually arrested and put on
trial in 1829.The judge showed mercy to Hare and he was released but Burke was found
guilty and his punishment was to be hanged.Appropriately,his body was given to the
medical school and he ended up on the dissecting table,just like his victims.In one small
way，justice was done.
Now,over 1 50 years later,surgeons do not need the help of criminals to learn their
skills.However,the science of surgery could not have developed without their rather
gruesome（令人毛骨惊然的）help.The bodies of Burke's and Hare's victims couldn't be found by the police because
A: they had been stolen.
B:they had been strangled.
C: they had been dissected.
D:they had been buried.答案：C解析： -
第7题：
The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball.
In ancient Egypt,as everywhere,pitching stones was a favorite children's game．But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child．Looking for something less dangerous to throw,the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls.
At first,balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines．Later they were made of piece of animal skin sewed together and stuffed with feathers or hay.
Even though the Egyptians were warlike,they found time for peaceful games．Before long they had developed a number of ball games,each with its own set of rules．Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun．Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach young men the speed and skill they would need for war.
This selection says that the Egyptians played__.A.many different games with balls
B.many different kinds of games
C.only one ball game
D.different games with similar roles答案：A解析：参见第四段第二句。 -

Passage Five
In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian (巴西的) university. The two-hour class was scheduled' to begin at 10 A. M. and end at 12. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after the scheduled time. Several arrived half an hour later. Few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students, behavior.
The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in a university class. He found that if they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. However, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.
In an American university, classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12: 00; many remained past 12: 30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.
51. The word "punctual' most probably means______.
A. leaving soon after class
B. coming early
C. arriving a few minutes late
D. being on time

第18题：
There were many different cultures in the ancient world,but the two that had the most influence?on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman．Often these two eultures are?lumped together in our minds,as if they were really exactly alike．But that is not the case．In many?ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different．
The Greeks were truly democratic,often without a single leader but instead governed by a group?of men chosen by the people．The Romans were semi-democratic．They had a governing Senate,but?the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor．
Both cultures were great builders．But the construction interests of the two cultures were also?different．The Greeks tended to be more artistic．Their buildings were well constructed and they were?especially interested in temples,columns,and decorative forms．The Romans,on the other hand,were more engineers than artists．They concentrated their efforts on urban planning,well-functioning?water pipes,and the best roads．
Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar．Both peoples ate very well?indeed:lots of fish,fresh vegetables and fruits,healthy meals,holding at the same time long?discussions and tasting excellent wines．
In fact,it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm,
sea-oriented?climates,and they both lived a full life．
Which of the following is TRUE?A.The Romans had more political awareness．
B.The Romans had less political freedom and democracy．
C.The Romans had more freedom to choose their leader．
D.The Romans had fewer people elected into the government．答案：B解析：【考情点拨】推理判断题。

As Iraq struggles to recover from conflict and severe economic hardship to a society that is once again able to stand on its own two feet, the United nations has convened a meeting on 23, June to ensure that the Iraqis immediate humanitarian needs are met and the transition to longer-term reconstruction is fully underway by the beginning of the next year.
Indeed, such actions and achievements in responding to anticipated humanitarian needs in Iraq have played a crucial role in averting a much larger potential crisis. Even as the conflict was underway, national UN staff continued to carry out their duties. Aid activities under the Oil for Food Programme in Iraq’s three northern govern orates never stopped.1 National staff of the World Food Programme worked to open corridors from Turkey, Jordan and Iran into Iraq.2UNICEF local staff delivered humanitarian supplies and worked to maintain the supply of potable water.3WHO local staff supported Iraqi health professionals.4 Under the Oil for Food Programme, UNDP worked to maintain and restore electric power supplies, especially in the north.5
As of today, more than 800, 000 metric tonnes of food—enough to feed almost all of Iraq’s 27 million people for two months have been dispatched to Iraq.6 An average of 3.5 million litres of water per day is being tankered7 to hospitals, health centres and communities in the south and in the Baghdad area. Basic medicines, vaccines and health supplies have been delivered8 to facilities throughout the country. Agencies have helped repair and restore water, sanitation and power facilities, as well as schools, which have also been receiving essential education supplies.
But great needs remain. Due to the lack of a functioning economy, combined with prolonged reliance on the ration system, virtually all of the population of Iraq will require food aid in the short run in order to survive.9 The Flash Appeal for Iraq, asking for$2. 2 billion to cover needs for six months, was issued in March. Generous donor funding (approximately$900 million), and access to the resources of the Oil for Food Programme ($1. 1 billion), have meant that $2 billion is already available for humanitarian aid for the people of Iraq. The revised humanitarian appeal for Iraq seeks to meet the needs of the Iraqi people up to the end of the year. Given the healthy funding status, only an additional US $259 million is required.
Food aid alone accounts for two-thirds of the aid being requested through the Appeal. While the food sector, accounting for some $1.56 billion, is fully funded,10 funding is still required for equally important interventions in other sectors. Most essential needs must be still met: health care; clean water and sanitation; electricity; infrastructure repair; shelter; mine action and mine awareness; education; food security and agriculture; assistance for internally displaced persons and returning refugees. Given the urgent needs in other parts of the world in much of Africa, Afghanistan, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, as well as other places, it is essential that donor countries ensure that contributions to Iraq are in addition to and not in place of— funding for other emergencies.
