A

Liam Barker has been disabled since he was born. He can only express himself througll smiling and moving his eyes. And he has to depend on two ventilators(呼吸机) 24 hours a day to fight his musele-wasting disease. Doctors once said that he would not live to see his third birthday, but at 17 he is now believed to be the UK’s oldest sufferer.

His parents, Philip and Michelle, said, “However hard our lives are, Liam inspires us to carry on.” Eighteen months ago, the couple were struggling to pay the rising electricity bills for the equipment needed to keep their son alive. But also eighteen months ago, a group gave them $1,350 after reading about the family’s poor situation.

They now want to make their son’s room bigger. As he has grown up, they are hoping a high-quality bathroom could be added next door. “Liam recently broke his leg, which we think is because of the narrow room he is living in,” said Michelle. Although he suffers a lot, Liam Barker is always happy.

Liam’s unusual muscle condition affects one in ten million children, most of whom do not continue to live till their first birthday. He is now unable to walk or even move his arms. Mrs. Barker added, “No matter how hard it is to look after him, he always has a smile for us and he makes it all worthwhile(值得的). He is a real inspiration to both of us.” 56. We can learn from the passage that . A. Liam lives as long as doctors expected B. Liam is luckier than other sufferers C. his parents’ encouragement kept Liam alive D. the family has no money to treat Liam 57. According to the passage, Liam’s disease .

A. breaks his happy family B. makes him sad every day C. makes his parents well-known D. receives the public’s attention 58. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Liam’s parents try their best to save him. B. Liam feels proud to make his·family happy C. Liam sets a good example to other sufferers. D. Liam fights bravely against his unusual disease.

B

Having a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who loves reading. It may be got from your father and your father’s father or it can just impres people around you with the fact that you are a person of culture.

From my point of view, reading is very important in our lives. For example, reading is a means of gaining knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field; you can express your opinion about a political event at least, because you have read something about that.

Secondly, reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. We can dream in the world of the rich or imagine what life will be like in the future.

Sometimes, we compare ourselves with the people in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and tell us what to do in certain situations. Books are based on real life. Even if writers are considered to be somehow different from common people, they often face the same problems as we all do and suffer like us, too.

In short, I would like to say that literature(文学) is the perfect means of enriching our culture, expressing correctly and having a rich vocabulary, being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be a learned person. 59. In the writer’s opinion, some people have many books at home only to . A. make their house look more beautiful B. show that their father is a person of culture

C. impress others with the fact that they love reading very much D. show that they are rich enough to have such a big collection of books 60. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Reading a lot is good for writing. B. Reading can help us gain knowledge. C. Reading can help us have a great imagination. D. Reading helps us enter the field of politics easily. 61. We can learn from the fourth paragraph that .

A. people in stories are always unbelievable B. stories may show us what to do in life C. writers are good at dealing with problems in life D. writers often have different expriences in life 62. What is the best title for this passage? A. Why is reading important in our lives? B. How can we become a learned person? C. Different reading, different functions D. Having a good collection of books means a lot

C

First aid means the aid or the help that can be given to an injured person first, that is, before any other help arrives. Nowadays there is usually a telephone not far away and first we should, if a serious accident happens, send someone to telephone for an ambulance. Sometimes quick action by us may save someone’s life.

Shock. People often suffer from shock after receiving an injury, sometimes even when the injure is a small one. The face turns grey, and the skin becomes damp and cold. They breathe quickly. They should be kept warm. Cover them with a blanket and give them a warm drink.

Broken bones. Do not move the patient. Send for an ambulance at once. Threat for shock if necessary.

Bleeding. A little bleeding doesn’t harm. It washes dirt from the wound. But if the bleeding continues, try to stop it by placing a clean cloth firmly over the wound until the bleeding stops or help arrives.

Poison. A person who has taken poison should be taken to a hospital at once. With some poisons, for example, sleeping pills, it is a good thing to make the patient throw up by pressing your fingers down his throat.

Remember: When an accident happens, send someone to telephone for an ambulance at once. Keep the injured person warm and quiet. Give him plenty of air. Do not let other people crowd around him. 63. How many common accidents are mentioned in this passage?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. . If someone goes into shock after receiving an injure, you’ll find that . A. the face turns grey B. the skin becomes damp and cold C. the patient breathes quickly D. all of the above

65. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?

A. First aid means to give an injured person help at once before the doctor comes. B. If an injured person goes into shock, we must try to keep him warm. C. Don’t move the injured person if he has broken his legs. D. When a person has taken poison, we must make him sick. 66. The passage mainly tells us . A. some advice on how to deal with common accidents B. some facts about some common accidents C. some examples of common accidents D. something we must remember

D

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobe Prize winner.

Born in September, 17, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.

Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities (设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military Medal by the French government.

In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.

Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed 1eukemia (白血病) because of her work with radioactivity (辐射能). Irene Joliot Curie died from leukemia on March 17,1956. 67. Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal? A. Because she received a degree in mathematics. B. Because she contributed to saving the wounded. C. Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic. D. Because she worked as a helper to her mother. 68. Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederic Joliot? A. At the Curie Institute. B. At the University of Paris. C. At a military hospital. D. At the College of Sévigné. 69. When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot was born? A. In 1932. B. In 1927. C. In 17. D. In 1926. 70. In which of the following aspects was Irene Curie different from her mother? A. Irene worked with radioactivity. B. Irene combined family and career. C. Irene won the Nobel Prize once. D. Irene died from leukemia.
