8、 D as 答案： D 完型填空 I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a car and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can vaguely remember the brightness of _36_ and what color red is.

9、go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate more what I had _40_. My parents and my teachers saw something in me - a _41_ to live - which I didnt see, and they made me want to fight in out with _42_. The _43_ lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. I am not tal
10、king about simply the kind of _44_ that helps me down so unfamiliar staircase alone. I _45_ something bigger than that: a confidence that I am, despite being _46_, a real, positive person; that there is a special place where I can make myself fit. It took me years to discover and strengthen this con
11、fidence. It had to start with the easy and simple things. _47_ a man gave me an indoor baseball.

17、 A 【小题 18】 D 【小题 19】 B 【小题 20】 C 阅读理解 Oscar the cat seems to have an unnatural ability for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die, by curling up (蜷伏 ) next to them during their final hours. His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chose
18、n someone. It usually means the patient has less than four hours to live. Many family members take some comfort from it. They appreciate the companionship that the cat provides for their dying loved one, said Dosa, a doctor and assistant professor of medicine at Brown University. The 2-year-old cat
19、was adopted as a kitten and grew up in a third-floor dementia (痴呆 ) unit at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, where the facility treats people with Alzheimers, Parkinsons disease and other illnesses. After about six months, the staff noticed Oscar would make his own rounds, just li
20、ke the doctors and nurses. Hed smell and observe patients, then sit beside people who would end up dying in a few hours. Dosa said Oscar seems to take his work seriously. This is not a cat thats friendly to people, he said. Oscar is better at predicting death than the people who work here, said Dr.
21、Joan Teno of Brown University, who treats patients at the nursing home and is an expert on care for the terminally ill. She was convinced of Oscars talent when he made his 13th correct call. While observing one patient, Teno said she noticed the woman wasnt eating, was breathing with difficulty and
22、that her legs had a bluish color, signs that often mean death is near. Oscar wouldnt stay inside the room, though, so Teno thought bis streak was broken. Instead, it turned out the doctors prediction was roughly 10 hours too early. Sure enough, during the patients final two hours, nurses told Teno t
23、hat Oscar joined the woman at her bedside. Doctors say most of the people who get a visit from the sweet-faced, gray-and-white cat are so ill that they probably dont know hes there, so patients arent aware hes a predictor of death. Most families are grateful for the advance warning, although one wan
24、ted Oscar out of the room while a family member died. When Oscar is put outside, he paces and meows his displeasure. No ones certain if Oscars behavior is scientifically significant or points to a cause. Teno wonders if the cat senses mysterious scents or reads something into the behavior of the nur
25、ses who raised him. Nursing home staff arent concerned with explaining Oscar, so long as he gives families a better chance at saying goodbye to the dying. The staff recently gave Oscar a wall sign publicly praising his sympathetic care. 【小题 1】 What makes Oscar the cat so special A He observes the ca
26、ses of dying patients. B He curls up next to the patients. C He calls family members to the hospital. D He senses when patients are to die. 【小题 2】 The passage tells us Oscar_.

31、fly along the coast between the World Heritage rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef.

Willie Gordon takes guests to his ancestral rock art sites, set high in the hills above Hope Vale,

The tour takes you through an impressive view of six rock art sites, including an ancestral Birth Cave and the Reconcilia
33、tion Cave. This includes a 30-minute bush walk on generally easy terrian(地形 ). (Covered closed-on shoes must be worn.)

38、newness, whatever it costs. Very soon, there is no doubt that Apples tablet (平板电脑 ) will seem as a vital tool of modern living to us as sewing machine did to our grandparents. At least, it will until someone produces an even smarter, thinner and more essential tablet, which, if recent history is any
39、 guide, will be in approximately six months time. Turn your back for a moment and you find that every electronic item in your possession is as old as a tombstone. Why should you care if people laugh just because you use an old mobile phone But try getting the thing repaired when it goes wrong. Its l
40、ike walking into a pub and asking for an orange juice. You will be made to feel like some sort of time-traveler from the 1970s. Why not buy a new one you will get asked. And so the mountain of electrical rubbish grows. An average British person was believed to get rid of quite a number of electronic
41、 goods in a lifetime. They weighed three tons, stood 7 feet high, and included five fridges, six microwaves, seven PCs, six TVs, 12 kettles, 35 mobile phones and so on. Even then, the calculation seemed to be conservative. Only 35 mobiles in a lifetime The huge number of electronic items now regular
42、ly thrown away by British families is clearly one big problem. But this has other consequences. It contributes greatly to the uneasy feeling that modem technology is going by faster than we can keep up. By the time Ive learnt how to use a tool its already broken or lost. Ive lost count of the number
43、 of TV remote-controls that Ive bought, mislaid and replaced without working out what most of the buttons did. And the technology changes so unbelievably fast. It was less than years ago that I spotted an energetic businessman friend pulling what seemed to be either a large container or a small nucl
44、ear bomb on wheels through a railway station. I asked. What have you got in there Your money or your wife Neither, he replied, with the satisfied look of a man who knew he was keeping pace with the latest technology, no matter how ridiculous he looked. This is what everyone will have sooneven you. I
45、ts called a mobile telephone. I dont feel sorry for the pace of change. On the contrary, Im amazed by those high-tech designers who can somehow fit a camera, music-player, computer and phone into a plastic box no bigger than a packet of cigarette. If those geniuses could also find a way to keep the
46、underground trains running on the first snowy day of winter, they would be making real progress for human beings. What I do regret, however, is that so many household items fall behind so soon. My parents bought a wooden wireless radio in 1947, the year they were married. In 1973, the year I went to
47、 university, it was still working. It sat in the kitchen like an old friendwhich, in a way, it was. It certainly spoke to us more than we spoke to each other on some mornings. When my mum replaced it with a new-style radio that could also play cassette-tapes, I felt a real sense of loss. Such is the
48、 over-excited change of 21st-century technology that theres no time to satisfy our emotional needs. Even if Apples new products turn out to be the most significant tablets I very much doubt if they will resist this trend. 【小题 1】 When you try getting an old mobile phone repaired, _. A you are travelling through time B you are thought to be out of date C you will find everything wrong
