Day and night 180 miners worked underground there, more than 6,00 feet down. They all took their share of night work, but Bill always worked at night. he said he preferred it. One day he came home as usual at half past seven in the morning. He had his ‘Supper’, as he called it, and went to bed. An unusual dream troubled his sleep. Afterwards, the only thing he remembered about it was— a throbbing(跳动) blue light. Bill got up in the afternoon as usual. It was a strange getting up—because he could still see the blue light in front of his eyes. As the evening grew darker, the light grew stronger. Bill got ready for the night shift. But by 8 o'clock the blue light was so bright that he could hardly see anything else. He and his wife were very puzzled. Bill had never been sick before. “Don't go to work,”Mrs. Trew said.“If it isn't better by tomorrow, I'll have to send for the doctor.” Bill didn't go to work. He sat in an armchair, awake but with closed eyes. Even then the blueness was like a living thing. It surrounded him, silent, throbbing. The family went to bed but Bill wasn't tired: he stayed in his armchair. At 11 o'clock a long, loud explosion shook the ground. Bill opened his eyes and jumped to his feet. The blue light was gone! He rushed outside. Someone shouted,“Gas! gas in Park Deep! Oh pity the night shift!” The gas explosion killed 179 men in Park Deep. The mine was destroyed forever. Thebodies remain to this day in their deep grave. And Bill Trew has never stopped wondering. The blue light: why did it make him the only man unfit for work that night? 31.Which statement is FALSE according to Paragraph 1? [A]Park Deep was 6,000 feet down underground.

[D]Bill planned to go to work with closed eyes. 33.The blueness ____. [A]was gone when he closed his eyes [B]became alive at 11 o'clock [C]grew brighter as the day grew darker [D]enabled Bill to see clearly in the evening 34.The purpose of the last paragraph is to stress ___. [A]how the explosion killed 179 miners [B]what happened in the deep grave [C]why Bill didn't go to work that night [D]how the strange blue light saved Bill's life 35.A good title for this passage would be ___. [A]A Warning???? [B]Bill's Night Shift [C]An Explosion? [D]Park Deep Passage 2 Generally speaking, the British Isles have a temperate(温和) climate, not an extreme one. The prevailing(盛行) winds over Britain are southwesterly ones. The weather from day to day is variable, because it is controlled by depressions(低气压)from the Atlantic Ocean which, moving in a northeasterly or easterly direction, pass over or near the British Isles. Occasionally during winter months, between early December and the middle of March, northern winds may sometimes prevail, bringing cold weather and snowfalls which may last for several days or even 2 or 3 weeks, but seldom more than that. The English spring is very changeable, with warm and cold days in between until June. After the first week of May, you can take off your overcoats once and for all until the middle of October. But you certainly have to keep your raincoats and umbrellas close at hand, in any case. There is always plenty of rain in Britain the whole year round. As a rule, the month with the least rainfall is July. At best, out of the 31 days of July, you might get 21 days of dry weather and sunshine. In July of 1973, London did not se a single drop of rain, but that was a rare exception. At that time, foreign tourists kept on asking the British where they had “imported” their sunshine form. Throughout the British Isles there is an annual rainfall of about 110 centimeters. England alone gets 89 centimeters? annually of that British total. One an average, May to July are the driest months in England, and November to early March the wettest .A period of as long as 3 weeks without rain is exceptional and normally confined to limited areas like the coasts of southwest England,? Wales and the west coast of Scotland. June and July are the months of longest sunlight: from about 4:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. 36.Which of the following is Not REUE of the climate in Britain? [A]Prevailing southwesterly winds. [B]Variable weather from day to day. [C]Snowfalls lasting for 2-3 weeks very winter. [D]Warm and cold days in between in spring. 37.The depressions from the Atlantic Ocean moved ___. [A]from the northeast to the west [B]from the southwest to the east [C]from the northwest to the southeast [D]from the east to the southwest 38.The period that is both coldest and wettest in Britain is ____. [A]between December and the middle of March [B]between early November and April [C]between November and early March [D]between early December and early March 39.A person who hates both rain and hot weather should choose to visit Britain in ____. [A]May??? [B]June???? [C]July???? [D]August 40.This passage is mainly about ____ in Britain. [A]winds? [B]climate? [C]sunshine??? [D]rainfall Ⅲ.用国际音标标出下列单词中划线字母或字母组合的读音(本大题共20小题，每两小题1分，共20分)(注意：使用新式或老式音标均可) 41.argument???? 42.gangster???? 43.collapse?? 44.major 45.fairly?????? 46.feature????? 47.relieve??? 48.explosion 49.available??? 50.impressin??? 51.courteous? 52.essential 53.heavy??????? 54.enthusiasm?? 55.annoy????? 56.mechanic 57.awkward????? 58.contribute?? 59.thorough?? 60.bequeath Ⅳ.完形填空(本大题共20小题，每两小题1分，共10分) A.从下列单词中选择适当的词填空，每个词只能用一次。 taking? speak?? that???????? before enjoy?? out???? experience?? having study?? first?? learn??????? it People from different cultures sometimes do things that make each other uncomfortable without realizing it.

Read the two passages and answer the questions. (10 points) Passage 1 On my voyage to Japan, I shared a cabin with Mr. Kelada. He was chatty and seemed too sure of himself. One evening at dinner the passengers started talking about culture pearls(人工养殖珍珠) the Japanese were making, Mr. Kelada rushed the new topic: “I’m going to Japan just to look into the Japanese pearl business. I’m in the trade and I know all the best pearls in the world. They’ll never be able to get a culture pearl that an expert like me can’t tell with half an eye.” He pointed to the chain that Mrs. Ramsay wore. “You take my word for it, Mrs. Ramsay, that chain you’re wearing will never be worth a cent less than it is now.” Mrs. Ramsay in her modest way flushed (脸红) a little and slipped the chain inside her dress. Mr. Ramsay leaned forward. He gave us all a look, and a smile shone in his eyes. “That’s a pretty chain, isn’t it? ” “I noticed it at once,” answered Mr. Kelada. “Gee, I said to myself, those are pearls all right.” “I didn’t buy it myself, of course. I’d be interested to know how much you think it cost.” “Oh, in the trade somewhere round fifteen thousand dollars. But if it was bought on Fifth Avenue I shouldn’t be surprised to hear that anything up to thirty thousand was paid for it.” Mr. Ramsay smiled grimly. “You’ll be surprised to hear that Mrs. Ramsay bought that string at a department store the day before we left New York, for eighteen dollars.” Mr. Kelada flushed. “Nonsense. It’s not only real, but it’s as fine a string for its size as I’ve ever seen.” “Will you bet(打赌) on it? I’ll bet you a hundred dollars that it’s imitation.” “Done.” “Oh, Elmer, you can’t bet on a certainty,” said Mrs. Ramsay. She had a little smile on her lips, and her tone was gently showing strong disagreement. “Can’t I? If I get a chance of easy money like that I should be all sorts of a fool not to take it .” “But how can it be proved?” she continued. “It’s only my word against Mr. Kelada’s”. “Let me look at the chain, and if it’s imitation, I’ll tell you quickly enough. I can afford to lose a hundred dollars,” said Mr. Kelada. “Take it off, dear. Let the gentleman look at it as much as he wants.” Mrs. Ramsay hesitated a moment. She put her hands to the clasp(项链扣). “I can’t undo it,” she said. “Mr. Kelada will just have to take my word for it.” I had a sudden suspicion that something unfortunate was about to occur, but I could think of nothing to say. Mr. Ramsay jumped up. “I’ll undo it.” He handed the chain to Mr. Kelada. The man took a magnifying glass from his pocket and closely examined it. A smile of triumph spread over his smooth and rather dark-coloured face. He handed back the chain. He was about to speak. Suddenly he caught sight of Mrs. Ramsay’s face. It was so white that she looked as though she were about to faint. She was staring at him with wide and terrified eyes. They held a desperate appeal(恳求); it was so clear that I wondered why her husband did not see it. Mr. Kelada stopped with his mouth open. He flushed deeply. You could almost see the effort he was making over himself. “I was mistaken,” he said. “It’s a very good imitation… ” He handed Mr. Ramsay a hundred-dollar note without a word . I noticed that Mr. Kelada’s hands were trembling. 51. At the start of the story, Mr. Kelada is found boasting about his skill in A. recognizing culture pearls from real ones. B. predicting the rise and fall of pearl market. C. examining pearls with half an eye. D. estimating the price of any jewel. 52. What result did Mrs. Ramsay desperately want the bet to end with? Why? A. She wanted Mr. Kelada to win because she wanted her pearls to turn out real. B. She expected her husband to lose because he had forced her to take her chain off. C. She wished that Mr. Kelada would lose because she didn’t want her husband to know the truth. D. She desperately hoped her husband would win because she didn’t want him to lose $100. 53. When Mrs. Ramsay put on a look of “desperate appeal” she A. was afraid that her husband would lose $100. B. appealed to her husband not to bet on certainty. C. wanted both to calm down and give up the bet. D. was worried that Mr. Kelada would tell the truth. 54. Mr. Kelada admitted that he was mistaken; he lost the bet because A. he was an expert on pearls, but this time the imitation was too good. B. he didn’t want the narrator to detect his sympathy with Mrs. Ramsay. C. he wanted to help Mrs. Ramsay out even though it was a painful thing to do. D. he wasn’t really very skilled in distinguishing between culture pearls and real ones. 55. Which of the following is NOT a reason why Mr. Kelada’s hands were trembling when he gave Mr. Ramsay the money? A. He was sorry to part with the hundred dollars. B. He knew he was right and yet, he had to say he was wrong. C. As an expert on pearls it was painful to admit he had made a mistake. D. It hurt his pride to be beaten by someone who didn’t know much about pearls. Passage 2 Dr. kimsma, from the Netherlands, believes that euthanasia (安乐死) is not simply a question of ending someone’s life. The important thing is how that person’s life ends. If someone chooses euthanasia, he doesn’t have to think about the worry and the suffering only. He can also focus on the things he really wants to do, such as taking a last trip, or making up a fight with someone in the family, or saying goodbye. The pressure on that person becomes lighter when he knows he won’t have to go on suffering long. Often, people who have chosen euthanasia have such peace of mind that they die naturally. Dr. Kimsma visits his patients every day in the final period of their lives, usually at their home, where most people prefer to die. He talks to them often about various treatments and ways to relieve their pain, so that they know about all the choices, not just euthanasia. “If I ended the life of a patient because I had not given him good care, I would feel ashamed and guilty,” he said. Dr. Kimsma admits that in the case of euthanasia there is a conflict between his goals as a doctor: saving life and helping those who are suffering. He believes that helping people is the morally right thing to do. “My patients can be sure that I will not let them suffer unnecessarily alone. That is just my goal and duty as a physician.” However, he thinks that euthanasia should never be easy for a doctor, or for a person’s family, so that people do not begin to think of it as something ordinary. He says he can only continue to perform euthanasia because it is something that happens very rarely. In 1996 the government of Australia’s Northern Territory passed a law allowing voluntary (自愿的) euthanasia. Peter Ravenscroft, a medical professor in Australia, suggests that this law was passed because very little care is available for patients beyond cure in the Northern Territory of Australia. Dr. Ravenscroft holds that euthanasia is wrong. He believes that when people have an incurable illness, they should be given care that lessens their pain and suffering and helps them to feel less afraid. He says that such care should improve the quality of a person’s life , even in the very last part of his life, without bringing death. Dr Ravenscroft suggests that a patient should be given a drug to help him sleep for the last few days of his life, if nothing else will help him. Ravenscroft says, “I value sitting with dying patients or holding their hands . It reminds me that life is a great mystery and we all share the characteristics of being human. We take part in all of life including dying, but we are not masters of it.” If euthanasia is legal, it may be easier to choose death instead of continuing to look for a better treatment. Ravenscroft has had patients who lived much longer than they were expected to live , and other patients whose pain suddenly became less. If euthanasia had been available, they might have died too soon. Ravenscroft has another reason for not making euthanasia legal. He fears that people can be persuaded to choose euthanasia when they do not really want to. He thinks it is unlikely that any law can stop this from happening. 56. Which of the following is NOT Dr. Kimsma’s opinion? A. People may die peacefully in euthanasia because they feel less pressure . B. Euthanasia allows people to focus on important personal things in the last phase of? their lives. C. It is wrong to give up looking for a better treatment for an incurable disease. D. It is wrong to let a patient suffer when the disease is beyond cure. 57. According to Dr. Kimsma, when the two goals of a doctor conflict, A. saving life of those who are sick should come first. B. helping people who are suffering should come first. C. it is up to his patient to make a decision. D. the solution varies according to the situation. 58. Dr Ravescroft is against euthanasia. One of his reasons is that A. nobody really wants to end his own life. B. saving life is the only goal for a doctor. C. care given to people having incurable diseases can prolong their lives. D. people can be given painkillers and drugs to make them suffer less. 59. By “we are not masters of it [life], ”Dr Ravenscroft means A. we have no right to end a person’s life. B. we can never tell what will happen to us. C. life is as mysterious as death. D. life is always beyond our knowledge. 60. Doctors Ravenscroft and Kimsma have opposite views on euthanasia, but many of their concerns are similar. They agree that A. life should be respected more than anything else in the world. B. euthanasia should not be seen as an easy answer to incurable diseases. C. people cannot know for sure that their pain will not get better. D. the policy on euthanasia will depend on the development of medicine.

Passage 2 Dr. kimsma, from the Netherlands, believes that euthanasia (安乐死) is not simply a question of ending someone’s life. The important thing is how that person’s life ends. If someone chooses euthanasia, he doesn’t have to think about the worry and the suffering only. He can also focus on the things he really wants to do, such as taking a last trip, or making up a fight with someone in the family, or saying goodbye. The pressure on that person becomes lighter when he knows he won’t have to go on suffering long. Often, people who have chosen euthanasia have such peace of mind that they die naturally. Dr. Kimsma visits his patients every day in the final period of their lives, usually at their home, where most people prefer to die. He talks to them often about various treatments and ways to relieve their pain, so that they know about all the choices, not just euthanasia. “If I ended the life of a patient because I had not given him good care, I would feel ashamed and guilty,” he said. Dr. Kimsma admits that in the case of euthanasia there is a conflict between his goals as a doctor: saving life and helping those who are suffering. He believes that helping people is the morally right thing to do. “My patients can be sure that I will not let them suffer unnecessarily alone. That is just my goal and duty as a physician.” However, he thinks that euthanasia should never be easy for a doctor, or for a person’s family, so that people do not begin to think of it as something ordinary. He says he can only continue to perform euthanasia because it is something that happens very rarely. In 1996 the government of Australia’s Northern Territory passed a law allowing voluntary (自愿的) euthanasia. Peter Ravenscroft, a medical professor in Australia, suggests that this law was passed because very little care is available for patients beyond cure in the Northern Territory of Australia. Dr. Ravenscroft holds that euthanasia is wrong. He believes that when people have an incurable illness, they should be given care that lessens their pain and suffering and helps them to feel less afraid. He says that such care should improve the quality of a person’s life , even in the very last part of his life, without bringing death. Dr Ravenscroft suggests that a patient should be given a drug to help him sleep for the last few days of his life, if nothing else will help him. Ravenscroft says, “I value sitting with dying patients or holding their hands . It reminds me that life is a great mystery and we all share the characteristics of being human. We take part in all of life including dying, but we are not masters of it.” If euthanasia is legal, it may be easier to choose death instead of continuing to look for a better treatment. Ravenscroft has had patients who lived much longer than they were expected to live , and other patients whose pain suddenly became less. If euthanasia had been available, they might have died too soon. Ravenscroft has another reason for not making euthanasia legal. He fears that people can be persuaded to choose euthanasia when they do not really want to. He thinks it is unlikely that any law can stop this from happening. 56. Which of the following is NOT Dr. Kimsma’s opinion? A. People may die peacefully in euthanasia because they feel less pressure . B. Euthanasia allows people to focus on important personal things in the last phase of? their lives. C. It is wrong to give up looking for a better treatment for an incurable disease. D. It is wrong to let a patient suffer when the disease is beyond cure. 57. According to Dr. Kimsma, when the two goals of a doctor conflict, A. saving life of those who are sick should come first. B. helping people who are suffering should come first. C. it is up to his patient to make a decision. D. the solution varies according to the situation. 58. Dr Ravescroft is against euthanasia. One of his reasons is that A. nobody really wants to end his own life. B. saving life is the only goal for a doctor. C. care given to people having incurable diseases can prolong their lives. D. people can be given painkillers and drugs to make them suffer less. 59. By “we are not masters of it [life], ”Dr Ravenscroft means A. we have no right to end a person’s life. B. we can never tell what will happen to us. C. life is as mysterious as death. D. life is always beyond our knowledge. 60. Doctors Ravenscroft and Kimsma have opposite views on euthanasia, but many of their concerns are similar. They agree that A. life should be respected more than anything else in the world. B. euthanasia should not be seen as an easy answer to incurable diseases. C. people cannot know for sure that their pain will not get better. D. the policy on euthanasia will depend on the development of medicine.
