I am Peter
Hodes, a volunteer stem
courier
cell. Since March
2012, I
’
ve done
89 trips
——
of
those, 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to
carry stem
cells
（干
细胞）
in
my
little
box
because
I
’
ve
got
two
ice
packs
and
that
’
s
how
long
they
last.
In all, from the time
the stem cells are harvested from a
donor
（捐献者）
to the time
they can be implanted in the patient,
we
’
ve got 72 hours at most.
So I am always
conscious of time.
I had one trip last year where I was
caught by a hurricane in America. I picked
up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode
Island, and was meant to fly to Washington
then back to London. But when I arrived
at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady
on the desk said: “Well, I’m really
sorry, I’ve got some bad news for
you－
there
are no flights
from Washington.” So I took my
box and
put it
on the desk and I said:
“In this box are some stem cells that
are urgently needed for a
patient－
please,
please,
you’ve
got
to
get
me
back
to
the
United
Kingdom.
”
She
just
dropped
everything.
She arranged for
a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-
routed
（改道）
me
through Newark and got me back to the
UK even earlier than originally scheduled.
For this c
ourier job, you’re
consciously aware that in that box you’ve got
something that is potentially going to
save somebody’s life.
4.
Which of the following can replace the underlined
word “
courier
” in Paragraph
1?
A. provider. B. delivery
man.
C. collector.D. medical doctor.
5. Why does Peter have to complete his
trip within 42 hours?
A. He cannot stay
away from his job too long.
B. The
donor can only wait for that long.
C.
The operation needs that much time.
D.
The ice won’t last any longer.
6. Which flight did the woman put Peter
on first?
A. To London. B. To Newark.
C. To Providence. D. To Washington.
7. According to paragraph two, which of
the following word can be used to describe
the woman?
A. helpful.
B. selfish.
C. Easy-going.
D. optimistic.
C
One
form
of
social
prejudice
（
偏见）
against
older
people
is
the
belief
that
they
cannot understand or use modem
technology. Activities like playing computer
games,
going on the Internet and
downloading MP3s arc only for the young.
Isn
’
t it unfair
that older people enjoying a computer
game should be
frowned
（皱眉）
upon by their
children and grandchildren?
Nowadays older people have more control
over their lives and they play a full
part in society. Moreover, better
health care has left more people in their sixties
and seventies feeling fit and active
alter retirement. Mental activity, as well as
physical
exercise,
can
contribute
to
better
health.
Playing
computer
games
is
a
very
effective way of
exercising the brain.
When
personal
computers
were
first
introduced,
most
older
people
didn’t
believe
they would ever operate it. Now
computers have been around for a few generations
and
retired people have gradually
become more relaxed about using them for fun.
Gamers
over 65 prefer playing puzzle
games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says:
“
I
find
it
very
relaxing.
It
’
s
not
very
challenging,
but
you
still
need
to
concentrate.
”
Another development that has favored
“
grey
games
”
is a change in the
type of
video games available on the
market. There
’
s a greater
variety of games to choose
from,
including more intellectual and complex
strategy
（策略）
and simulation
（模
拟）
games. Internet
Chess and Train Simulator are among the most
popular. Train
Simulator is based on
real-world rail activities. Players can choose
from a variety
of challenges, such as
keeping to a strict-timetable and usinghelper
engines during
a winter storm.
Some people argue that “grey gamers”
simply don’t have the skills required
for computer games, and that teenagers
are better.
This couldn’t be further
from
the
truth.
Most
.computergames
require
the
kind
of
analytical
thinking
that
improves
with
practice,
which
means
that
the
“grey
gamers”
may
well
be
far
better
than
gamers
half a century
younger than them. In games where speed is the
main consideration,
older people
would be at a disadvantage
because
they
may
have slower reaction times.
On
the
other
hand,
“grey
gamers”
have
a
preference
for
slowerpaced,
mind
challenging
games.
8. 7 he second paragraph is intended to
.
A. show the best way to exercise the
brain
B. stress the importance of good
health
C. explain why grey gamers exist
D. teach how to play videogames
9. What w
as older people’s
attitude towards personal computers at first
?
A. Doubtful B. Concerned
C. Enthusiastic D. Supportive
10. The
method the author uses to develop Paragraph 4 is .
A. offering analyses B. giving examples
C. making comparisons D. providing
details
11.
By
saying
“T
his
couldn’t
be
further
from
the
truth.
”
in
Paragraph
5,
the
author
means .
A.
mind challenging games are not suitable for older
people
B. children should improve their
skills with practice
C. playing
computer games requires analytical thinking
D. older people can perform well in
some computer games
D
I was
an introvert
（内向的人）
by nature.
For as long as I remember, putting on
a
sincere smile when meeting someone had never been
easy. The key to a sincere smile
however, is simple.
It
’
s for someone to feel
excited. But that
’
s the
source of the
problem. When meeting
people, instead of being excited, I often felt
upset.
But we all know friends are
important. The more friends you have, the more
opportunities
you
will
get,
whether
it
’
s
job
opportunities,
a
romantic
relationship,
or
business
partners.
So
a
smile
is
important
to
make
others
feel
comfortable.
Mother
Teresa sa
id, “Every
ti
me you smile at someone, it is an
action of love, a gift to
that person,
a beautiful thing.”
The
smile I
’
m now talking about
is not to make a face to
cashiers
（收银员）
or waiters.
I
’
m talking about those wide
smiles you make when meeting old friends.
So I
’
ve
discovered a trick. And I call this
technique
（技巧）“
Oh,
it
’
s
Jamie!
”
When I
meet someone, I imagine an old friend of mine
called Jamie who was my first
friend
when
we
were
still
kids.
It’s
no
secret
why
my
smile
is
as
wide
as
I
can
possibly
make. And it’s not
just the
smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as
well.
And the best part, whenever
you’re friendly to others, they turn friendly in
return. You’re not hearing this from
me. Some research done by scientists actually
backs this claim. So do remember to
give it a try.
Three years ago at the
age of 23, I took a long hard look at my life and
decided
that I was nothing. Tired of my
life, I set about making dramatic changes and now
I
have
become
a
popular
writer.
My
success
reflects
（显示）
that
nothing
is
too
difficult
if you try
bravely.
12. From Paragraph 1 we learn
that the author .
A. found it difficult
to show a sincere smile to people
B.
felt excited but nervous when meeting people
C. became an introvert because of his
surroundings
D. didn’t want to
smi
le at others
13.
What do we know from Mother Teresa’s
words in Paragraph 2?
A. We
can’t live without the help of our
friends.
B. A smile is
important to make others feel comfortable.
C. Many people don’t know the
importance of a smile.
D.
People who always smile are sure to have many
friends.
14. Which of the following
sayings can we infer from the passage?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B. Every road leads to Rome.
C A good
beginning is half success. D. Try and try, never
say die.
15. The author writes this
passage mainly to .
A. tell us how to
make friends B. tell us how he achieves success
C. encourage us to perfect our smile D.
describe what a sincere smile is

选项。
A Hug That Leads To A Miracle
We’
ve all heard about the
magical power of love in fairytales and stories
like
Harry Potter where Lily Potter’s
love
for her son Harry was so strong
that it was
able to save his life
anddefeat the most powerful dark wizard there ever
was. 16
In reality, human touch as
affection was actually used in medicine in the
U.S.
and saved the life of a
premature
（早产）
baby
in 1995,
when the twins
named Brielle
and Kyrie were born in at Mass
Memorial. They were 12 weeks premature and weighed
just 2 pounds. The doctor told the
parents the twins had to be separately put in the
incubators
（保温箱）
,
and
that
the
next
42
to
78
hours
either
of
them
could
turn
very
quickly
when
it
came
to
health
condition.
17
Her
oxygen
levels
dropped.
Her
heartbeat was racing and
she began to turn blue. Her parents were
completely lost
and ready to give up
hope.
Then
the
nurse
Gayle
Kasparaian
asked
the
parents
if
she
could
try
something
new,
something
that
would
change
the
current
medicine
in
the
U.S.
18
The
moment
she
placed
the
twins together, Kyrie put her tiny little arm over
her sister in what the press
would
appear to be the “Rescuing Hug”. Soon, Brielle
began to calm down and her
breathing
almost
became
stable.
At
that
time,
this
newly-
created
skin-to-skin
contact,
known
as
“Kangaroo
Care”
was
referred
to
as
effective
in
treating
premature
syndrome
outside America. At
first the doctors didn’t dare to try the method
for the reason
that these kids were
thought to be so weak that they wouldn’t be able
to make it.
19_
However,
Kyrie
a
nd
Brielle’s
experience
was
considered
to
be
“historical”
and
changed this policy.
20 They went to the same high school
and college. Now they are also working for
the same company and are even closer
than ever speaking at the same time and sharing
the same thoughts.
A.
Finally, the twins are living in harmony.
B. But apparently, the power of love
isn’t just a fairytale.
C.
In their growth process, they have been sharing a
lot in common.
D. Three days later, the
younger sister, Brielle was struggling to breathe.
E.
Therefore,
the
twins
were
previo
usly
（先前地）
kept
apart
for
fear
of
infection.
F.
She
decided
to
put
the
stronger
twin,
Kyrie
in
the
same
incubator
with
Brielle.
G. She never forgot
why she started and accomplished the mission of
saving the
twin.
