One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. So determined was she, that she taught in school and gave music lessons to earn money for her schooling.In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first female physician and founding her own hospital, she also set up the first medical school for women.56．Elizabeth Blackwell was educated in ____.A．America B．England C．France D．America and France 57．Elizabeth Blackwell got her money for schooling from ____.A．her parents B．her part-time job C．her scholarship D．her sister58．How many years passed between her graduation from medical school and opening of her own hospital? A．8 B．10 C．9 D．759．What almost destroyed Elizabeth’s chance of becoming a doctor?A．She was a woman B．She couldn’t graduate from medical school C．She wrote too many letters D．She couldn’t set up her own hospitalBDolan began swimming at age 5, because his older sister Kathleen was a swimmer. “Whatever she did, I wanted to beat her,” he says. While he says he was a “pool rat” as a child, he didn’t aggressively pursue swimming until his freshman year in high school. Golf was his favorite sport then--- he played for his high school team until his junior year.Dolan grew up in Arlington, Virginia, and his early development as a swimmer was under the guidance of Rick Curl. At the University of Michigan, he trained under head coach Jon Urabancheck, who helped mold Dolan into an Olympic champion. During breaks from school, Dolan would reunite with Curl, and in the lead-up to Sydney, he has returned home full time. In April 2000, Dolan told the Detroit Free Press, “My w hole career I had gone back and forth, but now I’m spending the whole year with Rick. But where I go and swim, I’ll always be linked to Michigan and to Jon, just as I will to Rick.Dolan was 18 when he entered the 1994 World Championships. He remembers being near to all the big stars and noticing they were staring at him. He won the 400 IM title in world record time. He successfully defended hid world title four years later in Perth, Australia.Dealing with asthma and poor air quality, Tom Dolan could barely breathe at the 1996 Atlanta Games. But as the reigning world Champion and world record-holder in the 400-meter individual medley, he was determined to win Olympic gold. “My legs were burning pretty bad, and I couldn’t get any oxygen. I knew it was between me and Eric, and I just gave it everything I had coming into the wall,” says Dolan. He touched first, just ahead of fellow American Eric, who got the silver. 60．Which of the following can best describe Dolan when he was young?A．His elder sister swam better than him B．Golf was his favorite in high schoolC．He began to be very fond of swimming when he became a new student in high schoolD．Competing with his sister in swimming makes him known as a “pool rat”.61．What does the underlined word “mold” mean according to the passage?A．guide B．paint C．learn D．tell62．Dolan owes his success to ____.A．his parents B．his sister C．Jon and Rick D．his high school 63．How old was Dolan when he defended hid the 400 IM title in Perth, Australia ?A．18 B．22 C．20 D．2364．What might have made Dolan win a gold medal in Atlanta?A．Asthma B．The 400 IM title in 1994C．Help from his fellow teammate D．His determinationCAs is true in all cultures, Americans first hear music in the context of family life. Much if that music comes from the records on the family radio or television, and this “canned music”is especially important in developing children’s mus ical taste. People often say they were very strongly influenced by the kind of music they heard before they were old enough to have their own records or choose the station on the family radio. There is usually some live music in the family as well. Many mothers and grandmothers sing lullabies(催眠曲), for example. These can be important since in America, as elsewhere, lullabies not only lull a baby to sleep but promise, praise and teach cultural values. Sometimes lullabies are the only songs in a foreign language that American children with strong racial backgrounds hear since people often fall back on old, familiar languagesfor intimate songs.Another important family context is the automobile, where families learn songs and has become one of the basic centers of family experience, and it is one of the important place where the family gathers for an extended period of time without outside disturbance. The family used to have to choose between making their own music in the car or being force-fed by the radio, but the recent inventions of automobile cassette recorders and eight-track playback machines allow a family to have more control over what they hear when they drive.65．The underlined phrase “ canned music” refers to ____.A．music passed down from older generationsB．recorded music in contrast to live musicC．modern music young people can enjoyD．music children hear in an automobile66．The music children first hear is important in ____.A．shaping their likes and dislikes in music B．learning languageC．developing their talent in music D．maintaining their strong ethnic backgrounds 67．Lullabies are usually sung in _____in the passage .A．American English B．a familiar languageC．an African language D．the parents’ native lang uage68．The recent invention of automobile cassette recorders allows a family to ___.A．extend the period of time they spend in carsB．have more choice in the music they hear.C．enjoy music without being disturbed by outsidesD．have another place to get togetherDAt no time in history has there been such a mass movement of people from the countryside to the city as is happening now. By the year 2030, it is estimated that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities, twice as many as today. This means that the problems faced by cities today ---overcrowding, poor housing, unemployment, poverty and lack of food and water --- will be twice as bad, unless we find solutions(解决方法) soon.Another serious issue is how to provide good transportation for their citizens. Many of the world’s major cities are already struggling with out-of-date transport infrastructures(基本设施). How can they deal with the additional demands?London is a good example. Its enlargement was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which powered the world’s first underground railway. But its transport systems are now hopelessly out- of- date and need urgent modernization. London’s future success depends very much on developing better public transport.Over a million people travel into central London every day from outside the city. They, together with the people who live in London , want a public transport system that is efficient, safe and environmentally friendly. What they often get, however, falls far short of that ideal. Passengers complain about cost and pollution, while businesses worry about the problems their staff have in getting to work on time. Yes, the proportion of London households that own a car grew from just over ten percent in the early 1950s to over sixty percent today.As the city has become increasingly crowded and polluted, there has been a growing realization that action must be taken soon.69．The passage is mainly written to tell us that ____.A．it’s difficult to solve the problem faced by cities today.B．overpopulation causes the problems in cities like London.C．possible solutions to cities’ transport problems will be found soon.D．public transport plays an important role in developments in major cities.70．The underlin ed word “they” in the fourth paragraph refers to ___ .A．the citizens in the city of LondonB．those who come to London from other placesC．passengers who make complaints about the costD．businessmen who are anxious about their staff getting to work late71．We can infer that in the following paragraph the writer would most probably deal with ___.A．traffic jams in London streetsB．London’s future in train and air travelC．possible solutions to London’s traffic problemsD．the improvement of th e citizens’ living conditions72．The underlined words “environmentally friendly” is closest in meaning to ____.A．pleasant and nonpolluting B．cheap and punctual (准时)C．quick and straight D．fair and convenientEFeeling tried lately? But the doctor says he cannot find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sends you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong. Then consider this, you might be in a state of sub-health.Sub-health, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease. According to an investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time. Symptoms(症状) include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia(失眠) , and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs. How to prevent from sub-health, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work with rest, exercise regularly. As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, and fish because they are rich in nutritional elements---vitamins and other elements (that are important to the body). Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract. They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful to prevent sub-health. 73．When you are in the state of sub-health, you should ____.A．stay home and keep silentB．go to see a doctor and buy some medicineC．have yourself examined and buy some medicineD．find out the reasons and relax yourself74．Middle-aged people may feel sub-healthy, because ____.A．they have used up their energy B．they have lost their living hopesC．they have more pressure in life and work D．they begin to get older75．The underlined word “alternate” in this passage means ____.A．arrange by turns B．cause to take placeC．keep up D．take up第二卷（共35分）第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）I spent this summer holiday in the countryside.
