25、troyed last Sunday by a fire which started in the meadows beside the River Don. A fresh breeze spread the blaze up the slopes of Potters Hill and, before firemen could even reach the area, it had engulfed the hall, home of the Quirk-Browne family for over a hundred years. The present owner, Col. Edw
26、ard Quirk-Browne narrowly escaped with his life. Taking his customary afternoon nap, he was awoken by the smell of smoke and found himself trapped in his bedroom, the staircase and most of the ground floor being already well ablaze. Fortunately he was able to get through to the fire brigade before t
27、he telephone lines were destroyed and, with help on the way, he scrambled up on to the roof, clutching two Holbein miniatures and his Indian Army medals, which were the only things saved out of the entire contents of the house. By the time the brigade arrived it was impossible to approach the buildi
28、ng and get a ladder up to him, so the Colonel was, in fact, lifted off the roof in the nick of time before it collapsed, by an RAF helicopter from nearby Rampling Airbase. Col. Quirk-Browne and his wife, who fortunately was visiting friends at the time of the fire, are staying with friends at Chiche
29、ster while they decide on their plans for the future. He said: “ There is nothing left of the house, only a shell. It will have to be demolished. It would be far too expensive to rebuild it as it was, but it may be possible to build a more modest house on the same site. “ 56 Brownlow Hall was built_
30、. （ A） on the River Don （ B） 60 years ago near South Dean （ C） sometime in the 19th century （ D） at the foot of Potters Hill 57 Col. Quirk Browne was lucky to be able to telephone the fire brigade_. （ A） because it was a Sunday （ B） because the wires were burnt soon after the call （ C） because he wa

32、et of the successful handshake is no secret anymore. Management consultant Robert E. Brown explains what shaking hands is all about in his book The Art, the Power, the Magic: How to Read Hands that Talk. For example, to do the “All-American Handshake“ , you have to look into another persons eyes, gr
33、asp his or her whole hand, and pump it two or three times. According to Brown, this is the hand-shake of a good listener and trustworthy person. Politicians and salespeople often use the “Two-Handed Shake“ because its extra-friendly. Two-handed shakers put their left hand on the other persons arm or
34、 shoulder as they shake hands. This can feel too friendly to some people, so its best to use it with good friends. Watch out for people with handshakes that pull your fingers, or twist and crush your hand. If you get one of these handshakes, the person is trying to intimidate you. Two more uncomfort
35、able handshakes are the “ Palm Pinch“ and the “Dead Fish“. A Palm Pincher shakes your hand with only a few fingers. In the Dead Fish shake, the persons hand slides out of the handshake. Its possible that the people with these handshakes are embarrassed or shy. Shaking hands is an important part of b
36、ody language. It can identify someone as truthful, friendly, powerful or nervous. Its hard to be successful without mastering a good handshake such as the All-American. If this isnt your natural handshake, dont worry. Mr. Brown says that you can change your handshake with lots of practice. So, go on
37、 out there and start shaking hands. Just think of all the people you can meet. 61 How many kinds of handshakes are mentioned in the passage? 62 What is the name of the book written by Bobert E.Brown? 63 To do the “All-American Handshake“ , you have to look into another persons eyes, grasp his or her
38、 whole hand, and pump it only once. （ A） TRUE （ B） FALSE 64 Two-Handed Shake is best to use it with good friends. （ A） TRUE （ B） FALSE 65 It is hard for people to change their ways of handshake. （ A） TRUE （ B） FALSE Section C 65 In comparison with the lives of other postgraduate students, the life o
39、f a student doctor is far from easy.(69)Despite the heavy workload, it seems that the more you learn, the more you rely what you still need to study. As a result, it is not unusual for students to drop out. Misguided teachers attempt to simplify matters in an environment that demands the very best o
40、f its practitioners. The situation is little better in the year or two years after qualifying. Poorly paid for such long hours, many junior doctors find themselves becoming disillusioned with medicine.(70)The more depressed they become, the more likely they are to look elsewhere for a career, wastin
41、g up to seven years of training and education. An unfortunate statistic is that of those that qualify as doctors, 18% do not remain in the profession for more than three years. 66 Why is the life of a student doctor harder than the other postgraduate students? 67 Why do many junior doctors become di
42、sillusioned with medicine? 68 How many doctor students give up the chance of being doctors? Section D 70 Conventional wisdom says trees are good for the environment. They absorb carbon dioxide a greenhouse gas from the atmosphere and store it as carbon while releasing oxygen, a process for which for
43、ests have been called “the lungs of the planet“. The roots of trees have been thought to trap sediments and nutrients in the soil. Trees have also been credited with steadying the flow of these rivers, keeping it relatively constant through wet and dry seasons, thus preventing both drought and flood
44、ing. It is all nonsense, concludes a research published this week. A four-year international study led by researchers at the University of Newcastle, in Britain, and the Free University of Amsterdam, identifies several myths about the link between forests and water. For example, in arid and semiarid
45、 areas, trees consume far more water than they trap. And it is not the trees that catch sediments and nutrients, and steady the flow of the rivers, but the fact that the soil has not been compressed. The World Commission on Water estimates that the demand for water will increase by around 50% in the
46、 next 30 years. Moreover, around 4 billion people one half of the worlds population will live in conditions of severe water stress, meaning they will not have enough water for drinking and washing to stay healthy, by 2025. The government of South Africa has been taking a tough approach to trees sinc
47、e it became the first to treat water as a basic human right in 1998. Trees lose water through evaporation(the technical term is transpiration)at twice the rate of grassland or South Africas unique fynbos scrubland. In a scheme praised by the hydrologists, the state penalizes forestry companies for p
48、reventing this water from reaching rivers and underground aquifers. In India, large tree-planting schemes not only lose valuable water but complicate the true problem identified by the hydrologists: the unregulated removal of water from aquifers to irrigate crops. Farmers need no permit to drill a b
49、orehole and, as most farmers receive free electricity, there is little economic control on the volume of water pumped. In the Kolar district in Karnataka, wells have dried up as the water table has plummeted from six metres to 150 metres below ground. Summary: It is commonly believed that trees are good for the environment, as they ab
