A

On a cold winter day, many years ago, a French art teacher named Pierre Chevalier got on a train in Lyon to

go to Paris. When he started his journey, he did not know that it was the beginning of almost 40 years of accidents

and near death experiences.

During the journey, the train fell into an icy river, killing 12 passengers. Chevalier managed to swim back to

the river bank. He only had a broken leg.

Two years later, Chevalier was on a plane from Paris to Moscow when a door suddenly opened and he fell out.

A few minutes later, the plane crashed; 27 people were killed. Chevalier was so lucky that he landed in

a haystack(

).

A

few

years

later,

he

was

but

no

Then

driving on a mountain road when he saw a truck coming straight at him. He drove the car off the road, jumped out,

landed in a tree--and watched his car fall 100 meters down the mountain.

s luckiest.

Two years ago, aged 71, Chevalier bought his first lottery ticket(

彩票

) in 50 years and won more than 2 million.

After this, a TV company in America said they wanted him to make an advertisement. At first he accepted, but then he

changed his mind. Chevalier said he would not fly to Los Angeles for the filming, because he did not want to push his

luck. Who knows? If he had accepted the invitation, maybe he would have had another accident. But Mr. Chevalier is a

lucky man. If he had had another accident, he probably would have survived that too!

21. In the train accident many years ago, Chevalier______.

A. didn't get injured at all

B. was finally pulled out of the river

C. was lucky enough to be alive

D. was the only passenger to survive

22. Why did Chevalier refuse to make the advertisement?

A. Because he had won

￡

2 million.

B. Because he didn’t want to risk his life.

C. Because he didn’t want to leave home.

D. Because he didn't like the TV company.

23. The text mainly talks about______.

A. a man with nine lives

B. the unluckiest man in the world

C. a man who traveled around the world

D. a man who earned

￡

2 million in a lottery

According to a new US study, couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope

they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.

The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, from Princeton University, found that, while women provide as

much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often

leave it to female family members.

Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 old Americans concluded that gender(

性别

) is one of the

most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.

In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she

concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care. Using data from the University of

Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a cross-section of over 50s for the last

decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men

offer only 5.6 hours.

when they have a brother.

In the UK

the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities,

a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.

But many are doing so at the risk of their health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or

more of care a week while trying to hold down a fulltime job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill

health than their working counterparts who are not carers.

24. According to the passage, what’s the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the

elderly?

A. Education.

B. Gender.

C. Career.

D. Income.

25. The US study finds that_____.

A. having a sister makes men less likely to look after their parents

B. sons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old age

C. sons are unwilling to leave caregiving responsibilities to their sisters

D. sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents

26.

What does the author stress in the last paragraph?

A. People should give up their job to care for the elderly. B.

Many care providers work longer hours than others. C.

Many care providers have potential health problems.

D. People shouldn’t pass on caring responsibilities to others.

27.

The author develops the text by _______.

A. explaining social networks of careers

B. describing people' s experiences

D. comparing different gender

C. analyzing various researches and data

C

Mrs. Jones was my first patient when I started medical school

—

and I owe her a lot.

She was under my care for the first two years of my medical training, yet I knew very little about her, except that

she was thin, perhaps in her mid 70s. It might seem rather negligent not to know the basic facts of my patient, but I had

a valid reason

—

Mrs. Jones was dead, and had been dead for about three years before I made a patient of her. Mrs.

Jones was the dead body that I dissected

（解剖）

over the first two years of my medical training.

Of course, her name wasn’t really Mrs. Jones, but it seemed a little impolite to be conducting re

search into

someone’s body without even knowing its name, so out of courtesy, I thought she should have one. “Me and Mrs.

Jones, we’ve got a thing going on,” went the song coming out of the radio as I unzipped the bag of her on my first

day

—

and so she was christened.

As the months passed, I soon forgot that Mrs. Jones had, in fact, once been alive. One day, though, she

suddenly became very human again. I’d been dissecting Mrs. Jones a good 18 months before I got around to the

uterus

（子宫）

. After I’d removed it, the professor came up to me, “If you look at the opening carefully, you’ll

see that the angle indicates that this woman has had several children, probably three.” I stared at it, and I suddenly

felt very strange. This woman, who had given me somethin

g incredibly precious that I’d begun to take for granted,

wasn’t a dead body. She was a person, a mother, in fact.

At my graduation, the same professor came over to congratulate me. I explained the story about Mrs. Jones to

him, and recalled what he’d tol

d me about her having children and how that had affected me all those years ago.

“Well,” he said, “at the beginning of your training you had a dead body and managed to turn it into a person.

Now you’re a doctor, the trick is to have a person and not turn them into a dead body,” and he laughed, shook

my hand and walked away.

28.

Why didn’t the author know much about Mrs. Jones?

A. Because he was irresponsible for his patients.

B. Because he wasn’t allowed to

ask for her privacy.

C. Because he didn’t know her until she passed away.

D. Because he was too careless while dissecting her.

29. How did Mrs. Jones get her name?

A. It was passed down from the seniors of my school.

B. It came from a song being played when we first met.

C. She was named after a well-known singer I liked best.

D. It just occurred to me when I opened the bag of her.

30. What could be the author’s feeling for Mrs. Jones now?

A. Grateful.

B. Pitiless.

D. Guilty.

C. Hateful.

31.

What did the professor imply by his words in the last paragraph?

A. Medical students are able to bring the dead back to life.

B. Being a doctor has nothing to do with the medical training.

C. Good doctors never fail to save their patients from dying.

D. Medical staff ought to have respect for life and humanity.

How do you get to Carnegie Hall(

卡内基音乐厅

)?

But for some inspiring young musicians from the Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul, the road to the

famous concert hall was more difficult.

Because of continuing limits in Afghanistan, Gulalai and Milad listen mostly to the king of classical music

Before Milad went onstage that night with the band of Afghan kids who had survived a war, I asked him if

he had ever experienced true peace.

Later during the performance, as he played one of Carnegie Hall’s famous grand pianos, the lo

ok of pure

joy on his face convinced me that he found peace in music.

Today I took part in an English singing competition in our school. Most of the singers and audience have

been there when I arrived at the hall. See the large audience, I started to feel little nervous. After some times, it

was your turn to sing. When the host read my name out, the audience burst into a great cheer, and my heart began

to beat really fastly. The song I sing was Country Road, that is a very famous piece of American country music. I

had practiced for

it many times, and I didn’t think I had done a very good job. Anyway, I was still very excited

because participating was the most important thing.

M: Miss, may I help you?

W:

Yes, I just wondered why the price between the ninth and tenth floor is so different.

M:

It's because of the view.

W:

Oh! I see. Can you tell me something about the car-park space?

M:

There are a total of one hundred and sixty parking spaces on the second and third floor, in which twenty are

for visitors and the rest are for residents.

W:

Any other facilities?

M:

Sure, on the fourth floor is a recreation quarter. There are two swimming pools. One is Olympic-standard size

and the other one is for children. Also, there is a gym for resident members only.

W: How about the price and payment methods?

M:

It's all written on the brochure price list. I believe there will be one fight for you. Please hurry up

because almost half of units have already gone.

W:

Thank you. I think I have to talk to the bank representatives. Thank you for your help.

M:

You're welcome.

M: OK everyone, now I need to say a few things about our visit to Staunton Theater next Tuesday. You

need to be here at school at 5:'ll meet at the back gate because the bus can't stop at the front one. We can't

leave any later than 6:00, as the play starts at 7:30.

We're seeing a very interesting play called The Party by Andrew McVitie. It's a comedy about a birthday

celebration. His works can be difficult to understand so you need to read the play in advance. There is a copy

for everyone which you can pick up from the school secretary. Do that as soon as you can.

The full price of the theater tickets is $$18, but you're all lucky, because you only have to pay $$15 each. Could

you let me have this money before Tuesday, please, and $$2 for the bus?

Now, a lot of you have suggested going somewhere together afterwards. Well, the bus driver is willing to come

back a bit later, but there isn't time for a big meal, so we'll go to a caf6 nearby for an ice cream and a coffee.

On a cold winter day, many years ago, a French art teacher named Pierre Chevalier got on a train in Lyon to

go to Paris. When he started his journey, he did not know that it was the beginning of almost 40 years of accidents

and near death experiences.

During the journey, the train fell into an icy river, killing 12 passengers. Chevalier managed to swim back to

the river bank. He only had a broken leg.

Two years later, Chevalier was on a plane from Paris to Moscow when a door suddenly opened and he fell out.

A few minutes later, the plane crashed; 27 people were killed. Chevalier was so lucky that he landed in

a haystack(
