He was holding down two jobs at the time — one with the city’s public works department, the other as a barber. Saturday was his busiest hair-cutting day, but he chose to donate his time and give free haircuts to unfortunate kids so they’d look neat on that first day of classes. But then he had a light bulb moment: “The kids should earn their free haircut by having to read a book to me,” Holmes said. The idea was so popular that he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the next two years. Boys from five to ten years old would grab a favorite book, settle into the barber chair, and read aloud while Holmes was doing their hair. If they were puzzled over a word, Holmes was there to help. After the haircut, they’d review he book, from the characters and vocabulary to the themes — just like in school, only more fun. Holmes, who is married and has two sons, ages three and four, recognizes that not every parent has the time to read with their kids. Holmes admits he, too, benefits from the process. “There was this seven-year-old who struggled through his book, stuttering over words even though he didn’t have a stutter (口吃),” said Holmes. He had the boy take the book home and practice. When the child came back a few days later, “He read it with no problems. That inspires me.” Holmes and his family have recently moved to a Chicago suburb. When they get settled, he plans to take up his role as the Story-book Barber. “The way the world is today with guns and violence,” he says, “it’s a safe heaven for the kids, to come to the barbershop and read books.” 4. What do we know about Holmes two years ago? A. He had only one job. B. He earned a lot as a barber. C. He offered free haircuts to the poor kids. D. He was the organizer of Back to School Bash. 5. The example in Paragrap3 mainly proves that _______. A. Holmes is very strict with the kids B. Holmes also learns a lot from the kids C. being a fluent reader needs plenty of practice D. many kids have trouble in reading a storybook 6. What can we learn from the last Paragraph? A. Holmes is dissatisfied with the world today. B. Holmes’ barbershop will have some changes. C. Holmes’ barbershop has won great popularity. D. Holmes will continue to be a storybook barber. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Storybook Barber B. Back to School Bash C. Reading Counts A Lot D. Care About the Kids 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Holmes周六为贫穷的小孩子免费理发的故事。作为一名理发师，Holmes做了一件非常有意义的事情，那就是要求贫穷孩子为他读一本书，他就免费为其理发。文章具体介绍了孩子通过他的活动受益匪浅，他也收获很大。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Two years ago, Holmes participated in Back to School Bash. He was holding down two jobs at the time — one with the city’s public works department, the other as a barber. Saturday was his busiest hair-cutting day, but he chose to donate his time and give free haircuts to unfortunate kids so they’d look neat on that first day of classes.”（两年前，Holmes参与了“回到学校狂欢会”。当时他有两份工作——一份在市政工程部门，另一份是理发师。周六是他最忙的理发日，但他选择捐出自己的时间，为那些不幸的孩子免费理发，这样他们在第一天上课时就会看起来整洁）可知，两年前，Holmes为贫困的孩子们免费理发。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Holmes admits he, too, benefits from the process.”（Holmes承认，他也从这个过程中受益）可推知，Holmes也从孩子们身上获益，学到了很多东西。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When they get settled, he plans to take up his role as the Story-book Barber.”（当他们安顿下来后，他计划扮演故事书理发师的角色）可知，Holmes将继续担任听故事的理发师。故选D项。 【7题详解】 标题判断题。根据文章大意可知，理发师Holmes要求贫穷孩子为他读一本书，来换取免费理发，他成为了一个听故事的理发师(Storybook Barber)，结合文章最后一段“When they get settled, he plans to take up his role as the Story-book Barber.”（当他们安顿下来后，他计划扮演听故事的理发师的角色）可知，The Storybook Barber（听故事的理发师）是文章的主线，也是文章的最佳标题。故选A项。 C “Is the glass half empty or half full?” This old English saying has long been used to tell a pessimist from an optimist. For most young people today, the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that a positive attitude towards life is one of the primary keys to success. However, is this necessarily a good thing? Recent studies indicate that it all depends. There is such a thing as too much positivity. It happens when someone remains in a happy and positive state and ignores any bad and negative emotions across all situations. But as a matter of fact, it is normal for us to experience any emotions. The death of a pet or loved one, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger. If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways. There is new evidence to suggest that many of these overly positive people are at a risk of developing drug or alcohol addictions as well as other psychological problems. Aside from the personal emotional impacts, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you. Imagine having had a bad day, and wanting to talk about it with your friend. However, instead of listening to your problems and sympathizing with you, they simply told you to “be positive” and give you the impression that your problems are being completely ignored. Just take everything as it comes and express how you really feel. This makes you human, and your true friends will always stick by you. So my simple advice to you is to do what gives you the best “attitude” in life, whatever for you that might be. Regardless of whether a glass is half-empty or half-full, it nonetheless still has space to fill. 8. Why does the writer mention the glass at the beginning of the text? A. To give some evidence. B. To introduce the topic. C. To present an argument. D. To explain his ideas. 9. What is the writer’s attitude to the person who remains positive across all situations? A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 10. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The cause of overly positivity. B. The prevention of overly positivity. C. The bad effect of overly positivity on others. D. The bad impacts of overly positivity on personal emotion. 11. Which of the following may the writer agree with? A. Positivity is the key to success. B. We needn’t stay positive all the time. C. There isn’t such a thing as overly positive. D. Positivity always does a harm effect to our lives. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了过度积极会对自己和身边的人产生消极影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段““Is the glass half empty or half full?” This old English saying has long been used to tell a pessimist from an optimist. For most young people today, the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that a positive attitude towards life is one of the primary keys to success. (“杯子是半空的还是半满的？”这句古老的英语谚语一直被用来区分悲观主义者和乐观主义者。对于今天的大多数年轻人来说，答案通常是“半满”，因为我们一直被教导积极的生活态度是成功的主要关键之一)”和第二段中的“But as a matter of fact, it is normal for us to experience any emotions. The death of a pet or loved one, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger. If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways. There is new evidence to suggest that many of these overly positive people are at a risk of developing drug or alcohol addictions as well as other psychological problems. (但事实上，我们经历任何情绪都是正常的。宠物或爱人去世，考试成绩不佳，或者堆积如山的新作业，这些都应该导致悲伤、沮丧和愤怒等情绪。如果我们仅仅因为想在朋友和家人面前显得乐观而隐藏这些情绪，它们就会在我们内心积聚，最终以意想不到的方式爆发。有新的证据表明，许多过于乐观的人有吸毒或酗酒成瘾的风险，也有其他心理问题。)”及第三段中的“Aside from the personal emotional impacts, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you. (除了对个人情感的影响，这种态度也会对你周围的人产生负面影响。)”可知，作者在第一段提到那杯水是为了引出话题，即过度积极会对自己和身边的人产生消极影响。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But as a matter of fact, it is normal for us to experience any emotions. The death of a pet or loved one, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger. If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways.

Imagine having had a bad day, and wanting to talk about it with your friend. However, instead of listening to your problems and sympathizing with you, they simply told you to “be positive” and give you the impression that your problems are being completely ignored. (除了对个人情感的影响，这种态度也会对你周围的人产生负面影响。想象一下，有一天过得很糟糕，你想和你的朋友谈谈。然而，他们不是倾听你的问题，同情你，而是简单地告诉你要“积极”，给你的印象是你的问题完全被忽视了)”可知，作者在这两段分别阐述了过度积极对自己和身边的人的消极影响。可知，作者对于在任何情况下都保持积极状态的人持不赞同的态度。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Aside from the personal emotional impacts, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you.(除了对个人情感的影响，这种态度也会对你周围的人产生负面影响。)”可知，第三段主要介绍了过度积极会对周围的人产生消极影响。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第三段中的“Aside from the personal emotional impacts, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you. (除了对个人情感的影响，这种态度也会对你周围的人产生负面影响。)”可知，本文主要介绍了过度积极会对自己和身边的人产生消极影响。由此可推知，作者可能会赞同“We needn’t stay positive all the time. (我们不需要时刻保持积极)”这一观点。故选B。 D One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease. The death rate from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying more attention to reducing stress in their work. However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. Instead of supporting such programs, however, the U.S. health-care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis (强调) on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years. In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery. Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary — because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example, only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year. 12. What effect has modern technology had on medicine? A. It has reduced the costs of medical treatment. B. It hasn’t helped save any patients. C. It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgery. D. It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease. 13. What does the underlined word “recover” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Boost. B. Spring up. C. Get back. D. Absorb. 14. The author would agree that ______. A. more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease B. heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions C. modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before D. the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Greatest Killer in the West B. Heart Disease: Treat or Prevent? C. Old Technology and Heart Surgery D. Heart Surgery: Advantages 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。西方世界最大的杀手之一是心脏病。作者认为应加强宣传心脏病的积极预防，而不是把重点放在手术治疗上，并强调手术治疗有三个明显的缺点。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery.(在这一时期，现代技术使医生们能够开发新的外科技术。许多几年前被认为是不可能或风险太大的手术，现在在美国医院每天都在进行。其结果是心脏手术数量的大幅增加。)”可知，现代医疗技术促使医生做更多的心脏手术。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后面一句“To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment.(为此，他们提高了所有患者的花费，而不仅仅是那些需要设备治疗的患者。)”可知，医院提高了患者的医疗费用，由此可推测出“After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent.”表示的是医院在购买了现代心脏手术所必需的昂贵设备后，他们必须设法收回所花的钱。recover指的是“收回”，与get back意思一致。故选C。 14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease.(然而，西方医疗保健系统对该病的预防仍然没有给予足够的重视。需要更多的项目来教育公众关于心脏病的原因和预防。)”可知，作者赞同把更多的钱花在预防心脏病上。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。本文在第一段论述了心脏病成为西方最大的杀手之一。整篇文章围绕心脏病的治疗还是预防展开论述，作者在第二段第二句话阐明了自己的观点：There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease，即要花费更多的金钱来使公众了解心脏病发病的原因和预防的方法。因此B项“心脏病：治疗或预防?”作为标题最合适。故选B。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The zero-effort holiday workout (锻炼) Build fun activities into your time away and you may even burn off the extra calories (卡路里) you eat.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是如何在假期中通过有趣的活动保持活力，每天至少运动两小时，轻松消耗额外卡路里。 【16题详解】 根据上文的“Try to make it a daily routine while you’re away. It’s a pleasant way to experience local life. (试着将其作为每天的例行活动，这是一种体验当地生活的愉快方式。)”可知，此处描述了晚上散步的好处，结合此空的位置，此空是对上文的进一步阐述或者总结该段，E选项“And you’ll feel spiritually and physically refreshed. (你会感到精神和身体都焕然一新。)”中的And表明，此处是对上文的进一步解释，符合语境。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据本段的主题句“Get in the water. (进入水中。)”以及空前的“Or if that all sounds a bit too cold and wet, rent a rowing boat, or go sailing.

(玩飞盘。)”可知，本段讲述的是通过玩飞盘进行锻炼，F选项“You’ll get your heart rate up every time you run or jump for that plastic plate. (每次你跑去接飞盘时，心率都会提高。)”讲述的内容是对玩飞盘运动的好处进行介绍，其中的“plastic plate”与本段的“Frisbee (飞盘)”指代内容一致。故选F项。 【20题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处为本段的主题句，结合其它段落的主题句可知，此处应为祈使句，根据下文的“Have a daily competition in the swimming pool, such as swimming between people’s legs or making the biggest splash, or a week-long badminton tournament. (在游泳池里举办每日比赛，比如从别人的腿间游过或制造最大的水花，或者举行为期一周的羽毛球锦标赛。确保规则简单易行。)”可知，此处提到了举行日常游泳池比赛或为期一周的羽毛球赛等竞争活动，由此可知，本段建议举行运动比赛相关，B选项“Hold a family Olympics.

Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward. David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答. We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. I said gently and quietly, “No one can change your mind, except yourself. If you desire to challenge yourself, there is nothing to do with others’ thoughts.” He sat still with a deep breath. “You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here”, I added with a sincere tone. Hearing my words, David turned to me tremblingly with tears spilling out of his eyes and expressed he had made a firm determination to finish the cross-country run. His coach heard what David said and gave me a look—the kind that was more determined than anyone else’s. I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. It seemed that the runway was extremely long for young children, not to mention a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses, though he was tripped over within the a few kilometers. It didn’t take long before he picked himself up again and continued his mission. Classmates all appeared on the racing track, cheering for him. “Come on! You can make it! We are proud of you!” they shouted enthusiastically. To everyone’s joy, he reached the final line and ranked the 20th. It was no more important whether he won the first place or not. It was his brave heart and strong faith that could make something unusual happen finally. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一名特殊教育教师，在大型越野赛跑那天，发现患有大脑疾病的大卫独自站在一旁。作者问其原因，他说准备放弃比赛。从教练口中得知，因为担心同学们会嘲笑大卫，所以教练想让大卫自己去决定是否参加赛跑。作者让大卫追寻自己的内心，不理会别人的看法，大卫最终参赛，尽管遇到困难，他战胜了自己，这已经无关名次，而是他的勇敢和坚定让这一切成为可能。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们挨着坐着，但大卫不愿看我一眼。”可知，第一段可描写作者鼓励大卫继续完成比赛，大卫经过强烈的心理斗争，最终决定参加比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“我看着大卫和其他选手一起走到起跑线上。”可知，第二段可描写大卫开始参赛，虽然中途遇到困难，仍然坚持到最后，完成比赛。 2.续写线索：鼓励大卫——心理变化——决定参赛——克服困难——加油助威——完成比赛——感悟 3.词汇激活： 行动类： ①深呼吸：with a deep breath/breathe deeply ②坚持做：insisted on doing/be stick to doing 情绪类： ①热情：enthusiastically /with great passion ②骄傲：be proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1]You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here.

He was holding down two jobs at the time — one with the city’s public works department, the other as a barber. Saturday was his busiest hair-cutting day, but he chose to donate his time and give free haircuts to unfortunate kids so they’d look neat on that first day of classes. But then he had a light bulb moment: “The kids should earn their free haircut by having to read a book to me,” Holmes said. The idea was so popular that he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the next two years. Boys from five to ten years old would grab a favorite book, settle into the barber chair, and read aloud while Holmes was doing their hair. If they were puzzled over a word, Holmes was there to help. After the haircut, they’d review he book, from the characters and vocabulary to the themes — just like in school, only more fun. Holmes, who is married and has two sons, ages three and four, recognizes that not every parent has the time to read with their kids. Holmes admits he, too, benefits from the process. “There was this seven-year-old who struggled through his book, stuttering over words even though he didn’t have a stutter (口吃),” said Holmes. He had the boy take the book home and practice. When the child came back a few days later, “He read it with no problems. That inspires me.” Holmes and his family have recently moved to a Chicago suburb. When they get settled, he plans to take up his role as the Story-book Barber. “The way the world is today with guns and violence,” he says, “it’s a safe heaven for the kids, to come to the barbershop and read books.” 4. What do we know about Holmes two years ago? A. He had only one job. B. He earned a lot as a barber. C. He offered free haircuts to the poor kids. D. He was the organizer of Back to School Bash. 5. The example in Paragrap3 mainly proves that _______. A. Holmes is very strict with the kids B. Holmes also learns a lot from the kids C. being a fluent reader needs plenty of practice D. many kids have trouble in reading a storybook 6. What can we learn from the last Paragraph? A. Holmes is dissatisfied with the world today. B. Holmes’ barbershop will have some changes. C. Holmes’ barbershop has won great popularity. D. Holmes will continue to be a storybook barber. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Storybook Barber B. Back to School Bash C. Reading Counts A Lot D. Care About the Kids C “Is the glass half empty or half full?” This old English saying has long been used to tell a pessimist from an optimist. For most young people today, the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that a positive attitude towards life is one of the primary keys to success. However is this necessarily a good thing? Recent studies indicate that it all depends. There is such a thing as too much positivity. It happens when someone remains in a happy and positive state and ignores any bad and negative emotions across all situations. But as a matter of fact, it is normal for us to experience any emotions. The death of a pet or loved one, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger. If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways. There is new evidence to suggest that many of these overly positive people are at a risk of developing drug or alcohol addictions as well as other psychological problems. Aside from the personal emotional impacts, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you. Imagine having had a bad day, and wanting to talk about it with your friend. However, instead of listening to your problems and sympathizing with you, they simply told you to “be positive” and give you the impression that your problems are being completely ignored. Just take everything as it comes and express how you really feel. This makes you human, and your true friends will always stick by you. So my simple advice to you is to do what gives you the best “attitude” in life, whatever for you that might be. Regardless of whether a glass is half-empty or half-full, it nonetheless still has space to fill. 8. Why does the writer mention the glass at the beginning of the text? A. To give some evidence. B. To introduce the topic. C. To present an argument. D. To explain his ideas. 9. What is the writer’s attitude to the person who remains positive across all situations? A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 10. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The cause of overly positivity. B. The prevention of overly positivity. C. The bad effect of overly positivity on others. D. The bad impacts of overly positivity on personal emotion. 11. Which of the following may the writer agree with? A. Positivity is the key to success. B. We needn’t stay positive all the time. C. There isn’t such a thing as overly positive. D. Positivity always does a harm effect to our lives. D One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease. The death rate from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying more attention to reducing stress in their work. However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. Instead of supporting such programs, however, the U.S. health-care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis (强调) on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years. In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery. Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary — because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example, only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year. 12. What effect has modern technology had on medicine? A. It has reduced the costs of medical treatment. B. It hasn’t helped save any patients. C. It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgery. D. It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease. 13. What does the underlined word “recover” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Boost. B. Spring up. C. Get back. D. Absorb. 14. The author would agree that ______. A. more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease B. heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions C. modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before D. the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Greatest Killer in the West B. Heart Disease: Treat or Prevent? C. Old Technology and Heart Surgery D.

Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward. David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答. We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
