Ⅳ. 阅读理解(每小题3分，共15分）

阅读下面材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。

My brother Stanley died last January from cancer(癌症), and I spent a lot of time with him in hospital over his last few months. When I saw the care he received, it shocked and hurt me.

While Stanley was sick, I was a medical student. I therefore had an investment (投入) in the medical profession. It gave me an insider’s view of the care Stanley received, when most people spending time with a very sick loved one only have an outside view. However, as I see now, it made me think the care that his doctors and nurses gave him too harsh(严厉地).

We experienced long waits for the doctors, but they seldom turned up. Worst of all, near the end, Stanley’s senior doctor said c oldly that there was nothing left to try. “We’ve done what we could,” he said. Then, he just walked away, never to be seen again.

All this influenced the way I thought about my studies. Did I want to work in a field where people treated patients as if they were numbers on a chart? After Stanley passed away, I finished my studies and graduated. My classmates went on to get jobs in hospita ls, while I took a year out. I simply couldn’t face working in medicine.

Finally, I asked for and got a position as a cancer doctor in a busy hospital in a big city. I became a cancer doctor myself, and I often had to tell patients bad news. It is a difficult thing to tell someone that they have a serious illness.

I also found that I couldn’t always answer patients’ questions. They would want to know whether they could get better, or how long they would live for, but it wasn’t always possible to say.

It was then that I understood what a difficult job health providers do. It made me think back to my experience

when Stanley was sick. Perhaps the coldness I thought was just because of the demanding (要求高的) nature of the work. I began to see my patients as Stanley, and myself no longer as his sister, but one of his caregivers. Now I was in their shoes – the people who spend every day caring for others.

I still miss Stanley terribly, but at least now the anger has gone.

26.Stanley was sick in hospital because of ______.

A.a car accident

B. cancer

C. mental problems

D. bad living habits

27. Why was the writer upset in hospital?

A. Because it was too late for the doctors and nurses to help her brother.

B. Because the care given was far below her expectations.

C. Because the treatment was too painful for the author to stand.

D. Because she couldn’t help the doctors with her medical knowledge.

28. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.

A. the insider’s view of the care

B. the care her brother received

C. the writer’s medical profession

D. the write r’s long stay in hospital

29. If we put the passage into 3 parts, which of the following is the best?

(①=Para.(自然段)1 ②=Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 ⑥=Para.6 ⑦=Para.7)

A. ①②③/ ④⑤/ ⑥⑦

B. ①/ ②③④⑤⑥/ ⑦

C. ①/ ②③/ ④⑤⑥⑦

D. ①②③/ ④/ ⑤⑥⑦

30. The writer wrote this article mainly to ________.

A. give advice on how to become a doctor

B. stress the importance of being a caregiver in daily life

C. share how she became a doctor after her brother’s death

D. explain how her attitude toward being a caregiver changed

V．任务型阅读。(31-33题每小题2分，34题3分，共9分)

Do you suppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all time, really did fools' experiments(试验）? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic (基础的) that other

people just thought they were foolish?

Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or a problem.

Sometimes, they really do know an answer, but without thinking it is important.

Charles Darwin didn't just think he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important no matter how simple they seemed to be.

Suppose you drop pieces of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other pieces. What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn't be worth anything.

But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present-day understandings of physics ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek (古希腊的) physics.

The scientist sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them. Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations (基础) of science.

31. Did Darwin really do fools' experiments according to the writer?

_______________________________________________________________________________

32. What will happen if you drop two pieces of paper with the same size and shape in the same place?

_______________________________________________________________________________

33. Why does the writer mention the experiment in paragraph 4?

_______________________________________________________________________________

34. Since physics is so important, is it necessary to add physics as a required course(必修课) in primary schools? Why or why not?

_______________________________________________________________________________

根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。

When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. He was always made to water the flowers, take out the garbage and deliver newspapers. But when John ____35____ adulthood, he lived a better life than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was much ____36____.

These are the findings of a study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys within 40 years from Boston. The study showed that the boys who had worked in their childhood enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “While ____37____, they got competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” according to a psychologist (心理学家) named George Vaillant, “And because they felt good about ____38____, others felt good about them.”

Vaillant’s study followed these males(男性) in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores ____39____ their boyhood-activity ones. Points were given for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.

What the men had done as boys has a lot to do with how they turned out as adults. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were more likely to(更可能) have warm relations with people, be well paid and ____40____ likely to have trouble finding a job. The researchers also found that IQ as well as family social and economic class(社会经济阶层) made no real ____41____ to how the boys turned out.

Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence. They also help him understand that people must work together and toward common goals. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live extremely well in this world ___42___ he knows how to work and love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”
