My brother Stanley died last January from cancer，and I spent a lot of time with him in hospital over his last few months. I witnessed the care he received and，at the time，I thought it was poor. It shocked and hurt me. While Stanley was sick，I was a medical student. I therefore put a lot of time and energy in the medical profession. It gave me an insider's view of the care Stanley received，when most people spending time with a very sick loved one only have an outside view. However，as I see now it made me judge the care that his doctors and nurses gave him too harshly(严厉的). We experienced long waits in emergency departments，and doctors were unsure of the details of Stanley's case. We waited around for doctors to arrive，but they seldom turned up. But worst of all was Stanley's senior doctor. Near the end，he announced coldly that there was nothing left to try. “All the choices have been used，"he said. And with that，he left，never to be seen again. All this affected the way I thought about my studies. Did I want to work in a field where people treated patients as if they were numbers on a chart？After Stanley died，I finished my studies and graduated with all the rest of students in my year. They went on to get jobs in hospitals，while I took a year out. I simply couldn't face working in medicine. Finally，I applied for and got a position as a cancer doctor in a busy clinic in a big city. Now I was a cancer doctor myself，and I often had to tell patients bad news. It is a terribly difficult thing to inform someone that they have a serious illness. I also found that I couldn't always answer patients' questions. They would want to know whether they could be cured，or how long they would live，but it wasn't always possible to say. It was then that I understood what difficult job health providers do. It made me think back to my experiences with doctors and nurses when Stanley was sick. Perhaps what I had thought was unprofessionalism(不专业)or coldness was just a reflection of the demanding nature of the work. I began to see my patients as Stanley，and myself no longer as his sister，but one of his caregivers. Now I was in their shoes-the people who spend every day caring for others. I still miss Stanley horribly，but at least now the anger has gone. 【1】Why did the author feel upset in hospital？ A.Because it was too late to cure her brother. B.Because the treatment was too painful for the author to bear. C.Because she couldn't help the doctors with her medical knowledge. D.Because the care given to her brother was far below her expectations. 【2】The underlined word "it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______. A.the insider's view of the care B.the care her brother received C.the author's medical profession D.the author's long stay in hospital 【3】The author changed her opinion after she_______. A.suffered a serious illness B.met Stanley's doctors again C.communicated with her classmates D.experienced caring for cancer patients directly 【4】What did the author do after he brother died? A.She put in efforts o save patients. B.She gave up her study in medicine. C.She applied for a job in a big city immediately. D.She took a year out and then got a job in a clinic. 【5】The author wrote this passage in order to______. A.give advice on how to be a professional doctor B.explain how her attitude to being a caregiver changed. C.tell the young people the importance of being a doctor. D.share how she became a doctor after her brother's death |

When you think of a typical American, who do you picture? A pretty blond white American like Taylor Swift? Or a handsome black American like basketball star Kobe Bryant? In fact, there was a time when the average American looked like neither of these people. Back in the year 1500, the average American was a brown-skinned hunter-gatherer who probably rode a horse and wore clothing made from animal skins. Today, these people－who usually identify themselves based on their individual tribes such as Iriquois, Apache and Navajo－are broadly referred to as “Native Americans”, “American Indians” or simply “Indians”. There’s a chance that you’ve never even heard of American Indians. That‟s because there aren’t very many left. When the European settlement of North America began, there were fierce conflicts between the settlers from overseas and these native peoples. After the British government and military were expelled (驱逐) in the Revolutionary War, conflicts with natives continued as the states were created that would later make up the US. In these conflicts, millions of natives were killed. In 1830, president Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. This act required all Indians to migrate to the west of the Mississippi River to allow for the expansion of the US. American Indians were treated as a military “enemy” until 1924, when the few Indians still alive at that point were granted （准予）US citizenship. That was the first time that the US government formally recognized the rights of Indians. While the story of the American Indians has been a sad one, these peoples’ legacies (遗产) are still felt every day in the US. Many US geographical names come from Indian languages, such as Ohio, Topeka, Kansas, and the Potomac River. At the same time, there are numerous successful academics and other important US leaders who are descended（是……的后裔）from Indians. And nowadays, more and more history classes in US public schools are educating students about how Indians suffered during the settlement of the US. Although what happened cannot be undone, we can learn at least one thing from the sad history of the Indians: If we want a better future, we must look carefully and honestly at the past. 【1】What is the article mainly about? A. The history of the settement of the US. B. What a typical American is like. C. The sad story of American Indians. D. American Indians‟ economic impact on the US. 【2】It can be inferred from the article that in the middle of the 19th century, American Indians______. A. were driven from the US by the British government B. were regarded as a military “enemy” of the US C. were finally granted US citizenship D. were required to live along the Mississippi River. 【3】What can learn about American Indians from the article? A. There are few influential American Indians in US history. B. Some of their languages are still used today. C. The majority of them lived in the states of Ohio and Kansas. D. American youths are becoming more informed of the suffering of the Indians. 【4】What is the author’s attitude toward the history of American Indians? A. It’s miserable to be reminded of it. B. It’s important to learn from it. C. He doesn’t have much interest in it. D. Every school should teach classes about it. |

When it comes to eating, most of us don’t have to go very far. But for many bird species, finding food may mean traveling hundreds of thousands of kilometers. A team of researchers from institutions in the UK and Ireland spent five years tracking (追踪) four species of seabird to monitor their travel patterns. It was discovered that over the five years, the species covered an area of 1.5 million square kilometers when hunting for food-almost four times the size of Japan. The findings were published recently in the journal Ecological Applications. As part of the study, over 1,300 birds were fitted with GPS tags to track their movements. It was discovered that most of them search for fish in the same place-waters off the coast of Scotland. As a result of this, organizations such as the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) will spend more time trying to preserve coastal Scotland. “For the first time, this study provides us with a full map for each breeding colony (繁殖群体) of the feeding areas for some of our most important seabird species,” wrote the study’s lead author Ewan Wakefield, from the University of Glasgow. “That means we can now protect the places these birds catch the fish they need to feed their hungry chicks.” The findings could also affect the future building of offshore wind turbines (满轮机). Although wind turbines help to fight climate change by providing a green source of energy, their huge blades (刀片) are blamed for the deaths of thousands of birds each year, as they often fly into them. Stuart Housden, director of RSPB Scotland, said in a news release that although climate change is a huge threat to both humans and nature alike, we should “invest in an energy system that works for both people and our natural heritage.” To protect both nature and the environment, the RSPB supports the building of turbines in areas that won’t have “significant adverse (不利的) impacts on important bird populations or their habitats,” it wrote on its website. 【1】What did the scientists from the UK and Ireland find about the four species of seabird? A. They have totally different travel patterns. B. They prefer to catch fish in places near their nests. C. Climate change has influenced their hunting distance. D. They can travel a very long distance to find food. 【2】According to the article, why is the research important? A. It shows what a perfect living environment for seabirds is. B. It was the first to use GPS technology to track seabirds. C. It could guide people on how to better protect seabirds. D. It provides more information about the diet of seabirds. 【3】Wind turbines are a threat to seabirds because ________. A. they produce noise that could disturb seabirds B. their strong airflow could influence the flight of seabirds C. their big blades may kill the seabirds that fly by D. they force seabirds to move away from their habitats 【4】According to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, ________. A. no more wind turbines should be built in the future B. we should think of more measures to protect the climate C. the government should invest more money to protect seabirds D. we should consider wildlife when we build turbines in the future |

You want to feel confident, right? You want to be able to walk around, knowing you’re a nice person and truly believing it. However, everyone gets insecure at times; that’s life. 【1】. 1. Smile more Smiling makes you feel good. It fools your mind into being happier. When you feel good, you’re more likely to think you — as a whole being — are good. 【2】. 2.

It doesn’t matter what it is. Just find that object that makes you feel good and wear it. 3. 【4】 A lot of insecurity comes from holding yourself to a standard that someone else makes up.

So free yourself from other people’s expectations. 4. Be prepared If you’re going to a party, be prepared by looking good, feeling good and having some conversation topics in mind.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 Gold has exercised power for ages. People have been looking for gold since the beginning of mankind Whole (帝国) have been built on gold. The Spanish conquered all of Central and South America in order to bring gold back to their home country. Inca and Maya civilizations worshipped gold and thought it came from the sun. Explorers traveled for thousands of miles in search of the precious metal. Gold is, once again, in great need, people want to have gold as a kind of safety in changing times. They invest in (投资于) gold instead of saving their money in banks. Many people argue that since 9/11 the world has become a more dangerous place. When in 2008 the financial markets collapsed (崩溃), the major money of the world became weaker. Investors were no longer sure how safe their money was. They bought more and more gold which made the price of the yellow metal rise. One of the reasons why gold is so valuable is that it practically cannot be destroyed. It always stays the same and never changes. It can be recycled and afterwards be used for many things. In Iraq poor people collect gold dust and bring it back to jewellery shops to be recycled. Recycling gold is also a big business in Japan, where gold is collected from old mobile phones and other industrial waste. The demand for the metal and increased production leads to a number of environmental problems. A single ounce of gold produces over 30 tons of waste, more than any other metal on earth. Poisonous substances can leak into rivers and pollute the water. In Peru and Brazil wide areas of the Amazon rainforest are cut down by the illegal mining of gold. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
