39 .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there 40 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She 41 her head and continued to sew the quilt.

After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father 51 on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t52 me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”53 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and 54 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just 55 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

第三部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题，满分30分）
A
Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient —no matter where he or she may be.
Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms(症状) are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis(远程诊断) will be based on real physiological data(生理数据) from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plu s a mobile phone, it is perfectly practical to send a patient’s important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.
Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural (countryside) care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need—especially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts’ opinions.
But there is one problem. Bandwidth(宽带) is the limiting factor for sending complex(复杂的) medical pictures around the world — CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.
Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts’ opinions and diagnosis are common.
56. The writer chiefly talks about _______.
A. the use of telemedicine
B. the on-lined doctors
C. medical care and treatment
D. communication improvement
57. The basis of remote diagnosis will be _______.
A. personal data assistance
B. some words of a patient
C. real physiological information
D. medical pictures from the Internet
58. Which of the following statements is true according to the text？
A. Patients don’t need doctors in hospitals any more.
B. It is impossible to send a patient’s signs over the telephone.
C. Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.
D. Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future.
59. The “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that _______.
A. bandwidth isn’t big enough to send complex medical pictures
B. the second-generation of Internet has not become popular yet
C. communication satellites can only deal with short-term needs
D. there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care
B

Sometimes doing something for yourself - even shopping--can give others a lift. That's the case at charity shops and non-profit stores such as Ten Thousand Villages which helps provide skilled workmen with money in developing countries.
Their handicrafts(手工艺品) are sold throughout North America in 180 stores, 95 of them operated by Ten Thousand Villages.
"People come into the store because we have a lot of interesting things, but then they're drawn to us by the mission(慈善的行动) ," says organization spokeswoman Juanita Fox.
"It just feels good to be making a difference when you're buying something."
In the Alexandria, Virginia shop, generals display windows draw you in. They are filled with practical, attractive home furnishings in blue and white, all international in mood.
Once inside though, it's clear that this isn't just another import store. On the wall behind the cash register is the following note:
"Ten Thousand Villagers provides necessary, fair income to Third World people by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories in North America. Your Buying Makes a Difference. "
The store was opened in 1994 as part of a network of shops across the USA run by the Mennonite Church, which is based in Akron, Pennsylvania.
Currently, 60,000 skilled workmen from 32 countries provide goods to the stores, with all proceeds (收益) re-invested in the organization.
Management of the Alexandria shop is overseen by an all-volunteer board of directors. More than 40 additional volunteers help doing everything from working the register to unpacking stock.
Maria Yannopoulos got involved after visiting a store and getting to know another volunteer. "Since we are non-profit, we are really looking for value because the more we sell, the more jobs we can create. Giving someone job rather than charity helps in so many ways. "
63. The underlined part "give others a lift" in the first paragraph means ______.
A. offer other a ride in a car
B. take others up and down in another floor
C. make others think of plans
D. make others more pleased
64. A large number of people visit Ten Thousand Villagers because _______.
A. they are fond of traveling around
B. they can find something interesting
C. they can enjoy the wonderful foods
D. they want to learn how to farm in the fields
65. What can we learn from the note mentioned in this passage?
A. Goods sold at Ten Thousand Villages are expensive.
B. Stories about Ten Thousand Villages are interesting.
C. What the purpose of the shop is.
D. Goods from the Third World are better than those from the USA.
66. From the last paragraph we can learn that ________.
A. American volunteers like to run shops
B. American shops are mostly operated by volunteers
C. V olunteers often offer goods to their friends as presents
D. Shopping can also be a kind of charity
D
Ever heard the old saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”? It is true! Apples have a lot of nutritional value!
A medium sized apple has only 80 calories (卡). What a great snack choice! Not only is an apple low in calories, they contain absolutely no fat. Thus, eating apples as snacks, as opposed to chips or cakes, will help reduce the risk of cancer.
On top of reducing the risk of cancer, the low sodium (钠) amounts in apples also help reduce high blood pressure and heart disease. They are cholesterol (胆固醇) free. They are also rich in vitamin A, which helps strengthen vision (视力) along with bone and tooth development.
Now that we know the nutritional facts, let’s take a look at some of the fun facts—That’s right! Apples can be fun, as well as healthy!
If an apple is fresh, it will float on water. Twenty-five percent of an apple is air, thus allowing it to float. Can you imagine bobbing (上下浮动) for apples that sink?
And, did you know that an apple is covered with a natural layer of wax (蜡)? That’s what the peeling (剥下的皮) is. It protects the apple’s high
water content, keeping the apple fresh.
Apples are a very important part of a healthy diet, but keep in mind they can be fun. And always remember, if an apple sinks in water, pick another one to bob for!
67. How many kinds of facts about apples are mentioned in the passage?
A. Two.
B. Three.
C. Four.
D. Five.
68. Apples contain no _________.
A. calories and sodium
B. fat and sodium
C. fat and cholesterol
D. cholesterol and sodium
69. We learn that an apple is probably _________ if it sinks in water.
A. too high in water content
B. still green
C. sweet and rich in vitamins
D. unsuitable to eat
70. Why do apples stay fresh for a long time?
A. Because they contain much water.
B. Because they have peeling with a layer of wax.
C. Because they contain much air.
D. Because they have peeling with nutritional value.

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job.__71__
So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(结结巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think，“Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheep up！__72__Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly.__73__Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk do wn to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief.__74__And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? __75__
A．It doesn’t have to be that bad.
B．Take several deep breaths before your speech.
C．This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.
D．Say what you have to say and then stop.
E．Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.

Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m very much glad to hear that your international shopping center will build non-smoking supermarket. In my opinion, it is a good idea to do so, for it can not only help the smokers to smok e less, and it can also do good to other customers’ health. Since you had given up selling cigarettes, the customers don’t like smoking are sure to support you. In addition, smoke in the shopping center may cause fire, which is very dangerous to both your possession and the safety of the customers. In a word, the non-smoking supermarket will not effect your business. To the contrary, it will help you attract more customers who want to keep health.
Best wishes!

W: Nice to meet you, Professor Wang. Can you tell me what the most important holiday in China is?
M: The most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year. To Chinese people, it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual
celebration are determined by the lunar calendar in China, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.
W: Oh, I see. I am very interested in learning about Chinese New Year. I just want to know more about it. It would be very nice if you could tell me more.
M: OK. To ordinary Chinese people, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year’s Day and ends o n the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country. “Guo Nian” means greeting the new year. At midnight, at the very beginning of the new year, people used to set off firecrackers(鞭炮) to drive away the evil spirits and to greet the arrival of the new year. On New Year’s Eve, houses are brightly lit and all members of the family get together for a big dinner. In the south of China, people eat a food called “Nian gao”, while in the north “Jiao zi” is popular.

W: But everything comes with those brown potatoes with so much oil. I’m starting to miss home-made bread.
M: I thought you had a sense of adventure. While we’re here, we should eat local food. After all, heavy food is part of the Chinese experience.
W: So are Japanese restaurants.
M: True... but it’s really hard to find a restaurant that’s open at 6 o’clock in the morning...

At 3:00 p.m., we’ve planned games that’ll help you get to know your fellow newcomers. You’ll all be rather tired after dinner, so we thought you might like to see a film at 7:00 p.m., which is free to all International English School students. On Saturday, we have organized a day trip to visit the historical city of Bath. We’ll leave at 10:00 a.m. aboard a bus we’ve rented for the day. Everything will be provided for you, including lunch. Now on Sunday, we will leave it up to you how you spend the day, both in the morning and the afternoon. OK, that’s all for now. Thank you.
