Of course, this didin’t include her when she told me that if I didn’t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn’t give me any presents.But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctor patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential, Or so I thought.I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科). Mr. McMahon was brought in when his baby was faound very swollen. I took a medical history from his daughter would accompanied him in the ambulance. She‟d been his main carer for years. I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history. “Has he lost an y weight recently?” I asked, “Well, it‟s funny you should mention that, but yes.” She said slowly. There was silence for a few moments. “Why? What are you worried about?” she asked, I hesitated. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth. “Well, we need to prove it’s not cancer.”I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.Half an hour later, a nurse called me: “Mr. McMahon’s daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer.”My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. “Why on carch did you do that?” she asked to disbelief. I looked at her andbit my hp. “She asked me what I was worried about and I told her.” I said, <U>hanging my head</U>. “And give her more to worry about?” replied my consultant. “You don‟t say the word …cancer‟ until it‟s confirmed. Even if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people.”As it turned out, it wasn‟t cancer. But I did learn that when somecone is stressed and worried about their loved one they’re sometimes selective in what they hear－and as a doctor it’s important to be mindful of this. In being truthful, I’d made the situation worse.{TS}The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author<U> </U>A. misunderstood the doctor-patient relationshipB. was anxious to receive Christmas giftsC. regarded honesty as the best policyD. had an unhealthy eating habit(2)The author’s consultant was angry with him because <U></U>A. he told the daughter what he suspecteB. he delayed running the necessary testC. he faile d to confirm the parent‟s diseasD. he forgot what the consultant had advise(3)The author hung his head (the underlined part in Para.4) because he was feeling .A. guiltyB. hurtC. disappointedD. helpless(4)What lesson has the author learnt from his experience?A. Learning form parents is necessarB. Jumping to a conclusion is dangerouC. Telling the truth may not always be the best solutioD. Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect polic(5)回答{TSE}题(6)Why does Harrington think the“secial boad”theory may be wrong?A.Wolves separate from each other after howling.B.Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.C.Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together.D.Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus.(7)Reseatchers are sure that wolves often howl to___________.A.show their ranks B.无C.repotr the missing onesD.express their lonelingess(8)“Howling… is a contagious behaviour”(in the last paragraph)means___________.A.howli ng isa signal for huntingB.howling is a way of communicationC.howling aften occurs in the morningD.howling spreads from one to another(9)回答{TSE}题In today’s throw away society, dealing with the city’s growing mountain of waste is an inereasing challenge for the city countil(市议会)。

武汉市二月调考试卷及答案(英语)
本试题卷共12页,72题。
全卷满分150分。
考试用时120分钟。
★祝考试顺利★第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AIt is quite natural for all of us to want to preserve and protect the foods we purchase. With that in mind, we often think that the best way to do that is by putting them in our refrigerators. However, that is not always the case.BreadNothing dries out bread faster than your refrigerator. In the event that you have made sandwiches with the bread, then you can place them in the fridge. The cold temperature will make the bread tough and chewy.TomatoWe all love tomatoes for their taste. But putting them in the refrigerator will cause them to lose all of their flavor (口味). Plus，the cold air in the cooler stops the ripening process as well. And as we all know, ripening is what gives every tomato more taste and flavor. For best results, keep tomatoes out, and inside a basket or a bowl on your counter.SaladOil or vinegar based salad can be stored for a long period of time without refrigeration. Moreover, refrigeration of salad dressings brings bad smell to them. Keep in mind that some salads that are mayo (蛋黄酱)or yogurt based should berefrigerated in order to keep them fine. So if you have some salads that have been already dressed, you can keep them away from your fridge without any hesitation.EggIt is a long debate whether you should keep eggs inside your refrigerator or not. One study suggests that keeping eggs whether in a refrigerator or not does not change their normal qualities，so it can be said that if you keep eggs at room temperature，there should not be any problem. There is another study that shows that keeping eggs inside the refrigerators has a bad effect on the natural taste and flavor of eggs，so it is wise to keep eggs outside of your fridge.21. Which of the following lose ( s) water quickest in the coolerA. Bread.B. Tomatoes.C. Salad.D. Eggs.22. What should we do with tomatoes to get the best tasteA. Put them in the cooler.B. Cook them at once.C. Make them ripen faster.D. Leave them in the shade.23. What will go bad easily without refrigerationA. Dressed salad.B. Mayo and yogurt.C. Oil and vinegar.D. Salad dressings.24. What do we know about the idea of keeping eggs in the fridgeA. It ’s interesting.B. It, s brilliant.C. It ’s ridiculous.D. It ’s controversial.BGertrude was just an average kid with an average life. She lived in an average sized house in an average neighborhood. At home, she helped out just enough to getby. At school, she did just enough homework to stay out of trouble. She had straight Cs in all of her classes.One day Gertrude’s teacher, Mr. Mister, stopped her after class. “Gertrude,”he said, “I know that you can do better. I’ve seen the work you do in class，and some of it is amazing.…Way better than C work. ”Gertrude knew that there were moments when she tried a little harder than what everyone expected. But she just didn’t have confidence in herself. She didn’t really believe that she could change; in fact，she was scared by the thought of having the power to become whatever she wanted. She stopped listening to Mr. Mister about half way through his speech and just nodded her head until he stopped.That night，Gertrude had a dream. It was ten years into the future and she was still living with her mom in her average neighborhood. A voice spoke in the dream：“The present is nothing more than the outcome of the choices made in the past. The future will be the results of the choices we make today. ”Gertrude started crying average sized tears，because she knew that she helped shape the world in which she lived, and the choices she made produced the options she had. She woke up with her pillow wet.Gertrude was relieved to be back in middle school. She took a little more care in getting herself ready that morning, and she felt better than normal. She tried harder in school, and she felt smarter than usual. She helped more around the house, and it looked better. Sure, there were still lots of things that Gertrud^ struggled with，but just trying her best made her feel better when she didn，t succeed. Gertrude even became great at failing by learning from her mistakes.25. Which of the following words can best describe Gertrude in Paragraph 1A. Popular.B. Optimistic.C. Ordinary.D. Modest.26. Where did Gertrude’s problem actually lieA. In herself.B. In her family.C. In her teacher.D. In her studies.27. What can we say for sure about Gertrude from the last paragraphA. She suffered more.B. She failed in her attempts.C. She changed fundamentally.D. She was glad about failures.CWith the explosion of consumer choices in recent history, the latest must -haves would surely need to be upgraded more often than every 10 years. In 2002 a computer and basic mobile phone would have been enough for most people, but now The public need a trendy notebook computer and a smart phone with WiFi connection to feel they are up -to -date. So when will we have enough things When will we finally be happy Well, it looks like the things we buy today will barely keep us satisfied for a few months.In the eyes of some psychologists, far from making us happy, greater consumer choice creates many serious psychological problems. A fundamental principle of the society is that more freedom is better and more choice in the marketplace means more freedom. Therefore more choice leads to more happiness. This is not the case, however.Imagine you go to a caf6 offering chocolate and vanilla ice cream. You choose the chocolate and eat it happily. But what if the cafe serves 50 kinds of ice cream You choose chocolate and then start to worry, “maybe blueberry would have been better，perhaps the half-fat ice cream would have been healthier. Stupid me, all these choices and I didn’t make the best one! ”In China ’s major cities we have now passed the point where more consumer choice is making us happier. We are annoyed by all the options we have, disappointed because our expectations are so high and angered at ourselves when we don ’t make a perfect choice every time.A newspaper reporter tells a story about traveling on a plane with high -speed Internet access. He thought this was amazing-the newest piece of technology he had heard of. Thenthe service went down. The man next to him was angry and swore. The reporter thought, “How quickly the world owes him something he knew existed only 10 seconds ago!”28. What is the text mainly talking aboutA. Hi -tech and consumer needs.B. Computers and smart phones.C. Wireless products and WiFi connection.D. Diverse choices and consumer satisfaction.29. What may some psychologists think of the consumer demand in the cafeA. Variety leads to unhappiness.B. More choice means more freedom.C. The consumer has mental problems.D. The shop provides too many choices.30. Why was the man next to the reporter quite annoyedA. Someone owed him money.B. The net connection was interrupted.C. The air hostess offered poor service.D. The pleasure lasted only 10 seconds.31. What does the underlined word “swore”in the last paragraph probably meanA. Fell asleep.B. Made promises.C. Said rude words.DDolphin (海豚)or not a dolphin That is the question! You see, there are several types of dolphins. Some are saltwater dolphins while others are river dolphins.“What are the 32 types of dolphins”When people are asking the question, they are actually referring to the saltwater dolphins in oceans and seas. The river dolphins living in freshwater are not included in these species (物种). But what would be the answer in this case if we ask, “Dolphin or not a dolphin”The answer would obviously be yes. River dolphins still belong to the dolphin family.Among the 32 types of dolphins，some do not actually wear the word “dolphin ”in their names, such as the tucuxi, while others actually have the word “whale”as part of their names even if they are not whales but in fact, belong to the dolphin family, for example, the melon -headed whale and the killer whale. So what would be the answer to the question “dolphin or not a dolphin”in these cases It would be yes. All these species do belong to the dolphin family.Another question that people ask is，“Are the sea animals that perform at aquariums (水族馆)all dolphins”So, it always seems to come back to the question,“Dolphin or not a dolphin”Well the answer is no in this case. The sea animals that perform there are not all dolphins. The beluga which people tend to think belong to the dolphin family because they show what seems like a smile, like most dolphins, are in fact a species of the whale family.Now that you read these facts about dolphins，you probably realize that certain sea animals may appear to be part of the dolphin species and that others seem to be part of the whale family but in either case, it is not obvious and can be surprising when you identify a sea animal as being a dolphin or not a dolphin. That is the question!32. Which of the following actually belongs to the whale familyA. The tucuxi.B. The beluga.C. The killer whale.D. The melon -headed whale.33. What do we know about the majority of the dolphinsA. They perform for audience.B. They appear friendly.C. They look like whales.D. They live in fresh water.34. What could be added about dolphins before the last paragraph if you were the authorA. The living area.B. Dolphin training.C. The eating habits.D. Further identification.35. This article can be classified as_.A. popular scienceB. literary fictionC. a news reportD. a travel diary第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。
