Mr. Smith was my first introduction to the nursing home. His , regrettably, can probably exist in countless hospitals across our nation. An acute (严重的) illness had brought him to our nursing home years ago, and his family him shortly before he left hospital. Helpless and unable to care for himself, he had no except for nursing home care, he lay until I met him when I was an intern. Mr. Smith was almost noncommunicative. After transferring to the nursing home, he slipped into a tense and state, waiting for his life to . All efforts to bring him back to the mainstream life were . Nurses faithfully tended to his physical needs, while he as a shell of flesh and bone, completely lacking in life. For three years, I saw him every week. Not once did I hear him speak a word. Not once could I his innermost thoughts. On my last nursing home visit, an idea me. I brought my into Mr. Smith’s room as part of a(n) in “pet treatment”. Something occurred. All of a sudden, he sat up and started talking, telling me of the days when he was a boy and had a dog to my own. He told me stories of adventures he and his dog had had. For the first time, I saw the soul from what had been a living corpse (尸体). That experience taught me not to underestimate the ability of the things in life to touch hearts when carefully-made medicine has failed, and never to forget that within even the weakest of human bodies lies a life that is precious indeed — that needs to be and honored, even if it can’t speak for itself. 1.A. mental B. medical C. personal D. moral 2.A. guide B. assist C. teach D. move 3.A. condition B. position C. relation D. situation 4.A. greeted B. received C. boycotted D. abandoned 5.A. alternative B. dream C. means D. desire 6.A. which B. what C. unless D. where 7.A. lonely B. desperate C. calm D. exciting 8.A. form B. end C. renew D. develop 9.A. without meaning B. without doubt C. in vain D. in effect 10.A. looked B. left C. remained D. showed 11.A. get out B. pick out C. seek out D. figure out 12.A. struck B. occurred C. happened D. belonged 13.A. dog B. equipment C. medicine D. teacher 14.A. cure B. drug C. test D. experiment 15.A. puzzling B. amazing C. bothering D. disappointing 16.A. strange B. related C. similar D. familiar 17.A. renew B. awake C. appear D. step 18.A. simple B. hard C. strange D. difficult 19.A. something B. one C. anything D. the one 20.A. treated B. ignored C. respected D. cared

Tens of thousands of ancient pictures carved into the rocks at one of France’s most important tourist sites are being gradually destroyed. Scientists and researchers fear that the 36,000 drawings on rocks in Mont Bego in the French Alps are being damaged so rapidly that they will not survive for future generations. The mountain, believed to have once been a site for prayer, is scattered (散布) with 4,000-year-old drawings cut into bare rock. They include pictures of cows with horns, cultivated fields (耕地) and various gods and goddesses. But as the popularity of the site increases, the pictures are being ruined by thoughtless graffiti (涂鸦). Jean Clottes is the chairman of the International Committee on Rock Art. He says, “People think that because the pictures have been there so long they will always continue to be there. But if the damage continues at this rate there will be nothing left in 50 years.” He describes seeing tourists stamping on the drawings, wearing away the rock and definition (清晰) of the artwork as they do so. Some visitors, he says, even cut off parts to take home as souvenirs. “When people think they can’t take a good enough photograph, they rub the drawings to get a clearer picture,” he said. “The drawings are polished by the weather, and if the sun is shining and the visitors can’t see them properly they simply rub them to make them look fresher.” Other researchers describe how people arrive carrying long sticks with sharp ends to scratch (刮) their own drawings, or even their names, in the rocks. But experts are divided over the best way to preserve the drawings. Henry de Lumley, director of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, believes that the only way to save the site is to turn the whole mountain into a “no-go” area, preventing the public from going there except on guided tours. Otherwise, he says, not only will the site be completely destroyed but important research work will be reduced. Clottes disagrees, “The measure suggested by Henry de Lumley is the most severe, and while it is the most effective, it is also certain to bring about protests from people who live there,” he said. “The site was classified as a historic monument years ago by the Ministry of Culture, and we must do as much as possible to save what is there.” David Lavergne, the regional architect, also wants to avoid closing the site. “Henry de Lumley’s idea isn’t ideal,” he said. “Our department feels that the best solution is to let people look at the site, but because the area is very big it is difficult to prevent visitors from damaging it. I would prefer that everyone was able to look at it, but the main problem is money. We do not have the funds to employ the necessary number of guards. We may have to consider charging a fee. It doesn’t seem to be possible to get the government support.” In Nice, Annie Echassoux, who also worked on researching the site, is alarmed that as the mountain becomes easier to reach — tourists can now avoid the three-and-a-half-hour walk by hiring vehicles — the damage will increase rapidly. She thinks that the only solution is to rope off the area and provide guides. “You can’t say the plan can’t go ahead because there is no money,” she said. “That is not good enough. Money must be provided because the Ministry of Culture has classified this area as a historic site. If we don’t take steps, we will be responsible for losing the drawings for the next generation.” 1.Jean Clottes says that people who visit the mountain____. A. do not believe the drawings are old. B. believe they are allowed to paint there C. think the drawings should be left alone D. think the drawings will not disappear 2.According to Jean Clottes, some of the visitors to the area have____. A. helped to clean the drawings B. taken bits of the rock home C. been unable to take photographs D. misunderstood what the pictures mean 3.Henry de Lumley is eager to ____. A. set up research projects B. protect public rights C. keep out individual visitors D. ban traffic in the area 4.Which word best describes Annie Echassoux’s attitude towards saving the historic site? A. Supportive. B. Disappointed. C. Worried. D. Hesitant. 5.This passage has been written about Mont Bego to ____. A. advertise the closing of the site B. warn visitors about the dangers of the site C. encourage scientists to visit the site D. describe fears for the future of the site

Picture a library without books? Well, I can’t. Ever since I was little I would go to the library and take out numerous books. From picture books to beginning chapter books to YA books, books have always been a part of my life. Unlike many people today, I don't own a Kindle or a Nook or any type of e-reader. I prefer the old-fashioned book. There is something about holding a book and being able to turn the pages that I find comforting. In today's 21st century, books may become obsolete. For me that's something I find scary. I am a fan of the old TV science-fiction series Twilight Zone. One episode（一段情节）is about a librarian who has become obsolete. Though this episode aired in 1961, the writer of the series, Rod Serling was exactly on point when it came to predicting the future. In fact, in San Antonio, Texas the first-ever bookless library in the country opened. The library is full of iMacs, tablets and iPads which cost a huge $2.3 million. The library offers around 10,000 e-books. So the question is, is this what the future will soon be? Mary Graham, vice president of South Carolina's Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce states, "This is the future…If you're going to be building new library facilities, this is what you need to be doing." It is our generation that will be the guinea pigs（试验品）of increasing technology like this. Is this a good or bad thing? Well, digital libraries may help the environment by not using paper; however, I feel like something will always be lacking with a digital book. A digital library is just the beginning. With all of this new technology, people seem to be more absorbed in their own world. One of my biggest complaints is when I am with my friends and they can't seem to get off their smart phone and talk to me. To make plans with a friend and then have them stuck on their phone the whole time is extremely rude. Not only is it disrespectful, but it reflects the direction of where human interactions are heading. Though social media is great, it also is addicting and has negative effects. Often when I go on Facebook it just makes me feel worse about myself. I'll see many of my 800 Facebook friends showing off their newest accomplishment or acceptance to college. Additionally, our society is becoming increasingly lazy. For instance, instead of doing mental math, people use their phone to solve 89 + 74. It is simple tasks like these that are allowing people to lack important educational and social skills. It is up to us to find a balance between technology and human values and interactions. With new technology being created every day, we need to learn how to use it alongside our great minds. After all, inventions are supposed to benefit society not harm it. In the day of technology, who knows what's next? 1.The underlined word "obsolete" (Paragraph l) is closest in meaning to . A. outdated B. complex C. expensive D. meaningless 2.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? A. The episode still enjoys great popularity nowadays. B. Rod Serling liked making predictions about the future. C. The situation of books today is similar to what Rod Serling predicted in the episode. D. The episode airing in 1961 was the most entertaining of the TV science-fiction series. 3.What can we learn about the library in San Antonio, Texas? A. It is the first-ever library in America. B. It is of no practical use although it costs so much. C. It holds an exhibition of much electronic equipment. D. People can read e-books there with the help of the new facilities. 4.Which of the following will the writer probably disagree with? A. Great as social media is, it does have some negative effects. B. With the increasing use of social media, something will actually be lost. C. Through social media, people can develop educational and social skills around. D. As a result of social media, people may communicate less with the people around. 5.The tone of the passage is best described as . A. Optimistic B. Skeptical C. Supportive D. Objective

I was doing a weekend seminar (研讨会) at the Deerhurst Lodge, north of Toronto. On Friday night a tornado swept through a town north of us called Barrie, killing dozens of people and doing millions of dollars worth of damage. Sunday night, as I was coming home, I stopped the car when I got to Barrie. I got out on the side of the highway and looked around. It was a mess. Everywhere I looked there were smashed houses and cars turned upside down. That same night Bob Templeton was driving down the same highway. He stopped to look at the disaster just as I had; only his thoughts were different than my own. Bob was the vice-president of Telemedia Communications, which owns a string of radio stations in Ontario and Quebec. He thought there must be something we could do for these people with the radio stations they had. The following night I was doing another seminar in Toronto. Bob Templeton and Bob Johnson, another vice-president from Telemedia, came in and stood in the back of the room. They shared their conviction (信念) that there had to be something they could do for the people in Barrie. After the seminar we went back to Bob's office. He was now committed (坚定的) to the idea of helping the people who had been caught in the tornado. The following Friday he called all the executives (执行委员会) at Telemedia into his office. At the top of a flip chart (海报) he wrote three 3s. He said to his executives, "How would you like to raise 3 million dollars 3 days from now in just 3 hours and give the money to the people in Barrie?" There was nothing but silence in the room. Finally someone said, "Templeton, you're crazy. There is no way we could do that." Bob said, "Wait a minute. I didn't ask you if we could or even if we should. I just asked you if you'd like to." They all said, "Sure we'd like to." He then drew a large ‘T’ underneath the 333. On one side he wrote, "Why we can't." On the other side he wrote, "How we can." "I'm going to put a big X on the 'Why we can't' side. We're not going to spend any time on the ideas of why we can't. That's of no value. On the other side we're going to write down every idea that we can come up with on how we can. We're not going to leave the room until we figure it out." There was silence again. Finally, someone said, "We could do a radio show across Canada." Bob said, "That's a great idea," and wrote it down. Before he had it written, someone said, "You can't do a radio show across Canada. We don't have radio stations across Canada." That was a pretty valid (有效的) objection. They only had stations in Ontario and Quebec. Templeton replied, "That's why we can. That stays." But this was a real strong objection because radio stations are not very compatible (和谐相处的). They usually don't work together. They are very cutthroat. They fight each other. To get them to work together would be virtually impossible according to the standard way of thinking. All of a sudden someone said, "We could get Harvey Kirk and Lloyd Robertson, the biggest names in Canadian broadcasting, to anchor (主持) the show.” (That would be like getting Tom Brokaw and Sam Donaldson to anchor the show. They are anchors on national TV. They are not going to go on radio.) At that point, it was absolutely amazing how fast and furious the creative ideas began to flow. That was on a Friday. The following Tuesday they had a radiothon (广播募捐). They had fifty radio stations all across the country that agreed to broadcast it. It didn't matter who got the credit as long as the people in Barrie got the money. Harvey Kirk and Lloyd Robertson anchored the show and they succeeded in raising three million dollars in three hours within three business days! You see, you can do anything if you put your focus on how to do it rather than on why you can't. 1.The first paragraph is written to______. A. arouse the readers’ curiosity about the tornado. B. tell the readers why the writer got out on the side of the highway and looked around. C. introduce the background of the story. D. tell the readers the influence of the tornado. 2.Why did Bob Templeton called all the executives at Telemedia into his office the following Friday? Because he wanted ______. A. them to help him decide whether they should raise money for the people in Barrie B. them to help him think of ways to raise money for the people in Barrie C. them to discuss how to do a radio show across Canada D. to share his conviction that there had to be something they could do for the people in Barrie 3.Which of the following does NOT result in the fact that they could not do a radio show across Canada? A. Telemedia only had stations in Ontario and Quebec. B. Radio stations are very compatible. C. It is virtually impossible to get the radio stations to work together. D. Radio stations are very cutthroat, and they fight each other. 4.What do the underlined sentences mean in the passage? A. That’s the reason why we can do a radio show across Canada, so it remains. B. That is a real strong objection. C. The idea of doing a radio show across Canada belongs to the side of “how we can”, so it should stay. D. The idea shows why we can help the people in Barrie. 5.That Tom Brokaw and Sam Donaldson are mentioned in the passage is because ______. A. they are anchors on national TV B. they are not going to go on radio C. they are biggest names in Canadian broadcasting D. they are to national TV as Harvey Kirk and Lloyd Robertson are to Canadian broadcasting 6.We can conclude from the passage that Bob Templeton is______. A. compassionate and determined B. stubborn and simple-minded C. independent and strong-willed D. passionate and stubborn

下面文章中有5处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day. It is as simple as that. Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not. If you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run. 1.________ Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day, a single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life. For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won't see a big difference in your life. However, if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a five year period, you will see a big difference in your body. The same principle applies to finance, health, relationships, work, career, and school. Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run. 2.________ There's nothing easier than developing positive habits. You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit. If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day. If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy, eat healthy every day. If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits are created by repetition. The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in the long run. 3. ________ If you want to be successful in changing your habits, you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits. For example, your old belief was: "I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed. I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed." If you keep this belief, you won't be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long. Instead, you should adopt this new belief: "I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed. Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body. Yoga makes me happy." You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won't stop you from changing your habits. The same is true when you try to form positive habits. If you want to start eating healthy food, here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: "Healthy food is very good for my health. It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good." 4.________ It's now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits. Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of. For each positive habit, write down exactly what actions you're going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit. For each negative habit, write down exactly what actions you're not going to take in the next weeks. Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise, healthy food, reading, saving, studying, healthy relationships, hard work, etc... Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, shyness, etc. 5.________ Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and commitment. Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits. Take action right now! Don't be afraid. Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way. But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life. If you refuse to quit, success will be yours.

Yesterday, I went to your cinema to see a film. The film was very well, but I did not enjoy it because there were some problem in the cinema. First, the film was delayed as there were so much advertisements at the beginning. It was rather annoyed. Second, the sound of the film was too loud that I could hardly bear. The EXIT signs could not be seen clearly, which presented potential safety hazards. If something terribly should happen, it will be difficult for people to get out quickly. As a visitor to your city, I’m disappointed with my experience in your cinema. I am writing a letter in the hope that you can consider on these problems and make more improvements. Yours faithfully, Li Hua
