阅读训练专题三：代词指代题(A)Dear Amy,I couldn’t read your two emails until today because my computer was broken. I’m sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you are feeling better and are recovering. I’m surprised that in China someone’s liver matched yours! This is really a moving story---a stranger donated part of his liver to a girl he doesn’t even know.You’re right. We couldn’t care too much about our weight. I’m happy you stopped taking those weight-loss pills. From your photo I can see you are now looking very well in the hospital. To keep slim is important, especially for an actress, but nothing is more important than health. Your doctor’s advice is indeed very good---exercise for at least half an hour every day and eats lots of fruit and vegetables.It’s not only in your country. It’s the same here with us Chinese---many people are always going on diets or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous. But in fact, some of them are not overweight at all. I hope these people can learn something from your story. Hope you will leave hospital as soon as possible.1. Who does “a girl” in the letter refer to?A. The writer of the letterB. AmyC. A strangerD. An unknown person(B)The Nobel (诺贝尔) Peace Prize was given to Martti Ahtisaari. He was the president of Finland from 1994 to 2000. He won the prize for his work in solving (解决) international conflicts (冲突) for more than 30 years.During all his life, both as president and as an international officer, he has worked for peace. For the past 20 years, he has done a lot to resolve several serious international conflicts. Some of these conflicts had lasted for years. In 1989~`990, he played an important role in helping Namibia’s independence (独立). In 2005 he did his best to help solve the Aceh question in Indonesia. In 1999 and again in 2005~2007, under very difficult situation he found ways to help solve the conflict in Kosovo. In 2008, together with other organizations, he has tried to help solve many of the problems in Iraq. He has also made great contributions (贡献) to solving the conflict in Northern Ireland, Central Asia, and on the Horn of Africa.“This work has made a more peaceful world in Nobel’s spirit,” the officer said, “so he has won the prize.”2.

I walked along a path (路), “It must be here.” But there was nothing to see.After a while, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything. Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond (越过) the rocks. I saw that ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was on the edge (边缘) of the Grand Canyon (大峡谷), one of the wonders (奇观) of the natural world.I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 kilometers below me. If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it? It’s 20 kilometers, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distance…over 400 kilometers long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It’s huge.That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question. It’s not “How deep is it?” or “How wide is it?” or “How long is it?” but “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world?” I know the answer. But what do you think?3.

Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can’t see it with the human eye, but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled. Nanotechnology (纳米技术) is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being studied and developed all over the world. Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution (工业革命).Perhaps nanotechnology will have the biggest influence on medical science. Imagine nanotechnology in medicine. Thousands or even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specific tasks. For example, they can be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses. Other machines may stay in the human body for ever to help organs (器官) that are not working properly.When could all these happen? Scientists predict that most of these are possible in the next 30 years. Thousands of scientists around the world are working on these micro-machines. Nanotechnology is just around the corner.4.
