If a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die. Blood is very important. People have always known that. At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it. This is called "blood transfusion". The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person.But there are two problems. First, it does not always work. Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion. Later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood. There are four groups—O, A, B and AB. We all have blood of one of these groups. They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB. But they find that they must give A-group blood to A-group people and B-group blood to B-group people. I have O-group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely.There is another problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group. Often they can not find a person in time. If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the right kind of blood. At first they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days. They do this by making it very cold. Then they find how to keep it longer. In the end they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time.We call a place where we keep money a "bank". We call a place where we keep blood a "blood bank". One day, when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a "blood bank". In this way you may stop someone from dying. Or perhaps one day you may become ill. You may need blood. The "blood bank" will give it to you.36. From the passage, we learn that sometimes people die when they have blood transfusions because they .A. are unhealthy peopleB. have lost a lot of bloodC. are not given the right kind of bloodD. are AB-group people37. Which of the following is true?A. Doctors can give any kind of blood to the writer.B. The writer can give blood to B-group people.C. The writer has never had a blood transfusion.D. The writer has the same kind of blood as his father.39. From the last paragraph (段落) of the passage, we learn that .A. the writer thinks it's good to give blood to a "blood bank"B. we may become ill if we give blood to a "blood bank"C. many people died because they lost a lot of bloodD. blood is more important than money40. The writer doesn't talk about _______ in the passage.A. how important blood is to usB. the four groups of bloodC. where the blood bank isD. what "blood transfusion" isBMr. Lang worked in a factory. As a driver, he was busy but he was paid much. His wife was an able woman and did all the housework. When he came back, she took good care of him and he never did anything at home. So he had enough time when he had a holiday. A few friends of his liked gambling(赌博) and he learned it soon. So he was interested in it and hardly forgot anything except gambling. He lost all his money and later he began to sell the television, watches and so on. His wife told him not to do it but he didn‘t listen to her. She had to tell the police. He and his friends were punished for it. And he was hardly sent away. After he came out of lockup(拘留所), he hated her very much and the woman had to leave him.It was New Year‘s Day. Mr. Lang didn‘t go to work. He felt lonely and wanted to gamble again. He called his friends and they came soon. But they were afraid the police would come. He told his five-year-old son to go to find out if there were the policemen outside. They waited for a long time and didn‘t think the police would come and began to gamble. Suddenly opened the door and in came a few policemen.―I saw there weren‘t any policemen outside, daddy,‖ said the boy, ―so I went to the crossing and asked some to come.‖2.

Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important ideas.● Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news letters from friends, pieces of news from local, or home-town, papers, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.● In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.1.

And even if a perso n is poor he doesn‗t feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably doesn‘t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped to make the United States what it is today.There are many reasons that the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country was a large one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest from of transportation. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason that cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in the other parts of the world. Nowadays there is good system of air service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don‗t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don‘t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to plan their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.51.Most Americans feel they are poor when they ______A. are out of workB. don‗t have enough foodC. have no moneyD. have no cars52. Henry was the first to ______ cars.A. find outB. findC. sellD. produce53."a nation on wheels" means ______A. the nation is producing the best cars in the worldB. everyone in this country owns a carC. cars play a very important role in people‘s lifeD. there are more cars than trains in the country55. The real solution to the gas shortage problem is ______A. to make less carsB. to make gas-saving carsC. to develop a good transportation systemD. to develop train serviceEWhen the famous dancer Fred Astaire was interviewed for a job by a Hollywood producer, the movie ―expert‖ turned him down, saying, ―Can‘t sing. Can‘t act. Dances a little.‖ Here‘s another stupid mistake. When the great scientist Albert Einstein was at school, his teachers considered him rather dull. And a final story, the famous Polish pianist Paderewski was told by a teacher that he‘d never be a success as a performer because the middle finger on each hand was too short.What lessons can be drawn from these three experiences? First, true genius(天才) cannot be suppressed(压抑). For some reason or other it works its way out. Second, early judgments of a person‘s abilities may be unfair or just wrong. Third, when there is a real determination to succeed, obstacles fall by the wayside.The famous motto ―ad astra per aspera‖ can be translated as ―To the stars through hardships‖. Astaire, Einstein and Paderewski proved their critics wrong.1. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. Fred Astaire was a famous dancer.B. True ability will always make itself known.C. Some people never get discouraged.D. Albert Einstein proved his teachers wrong.2. When Paderewski‘s teachers told him he‘d never be a success, they were _______.A. being humorousB. cheerful, though concernedC. somewhat hesitantD. seriously mistaken3. ―Ad astra per aspera‖ is used in the passage _______.A. as a motto for the three men‘s livesB. to show the value of LatinC. to send the reader to the dictionaryD. to point out that genius is always recognized early4. The writer of the passage thinks that the reader _______.A. knows that the three men were successful menB. someday dreams to become like one of the menC. sympathizes with(同情) the poor teachers of the three menD. knows that Fred Astaire was an actor famous for performing Shakespeare‘s plays IV：写作（共两节, 满分35分）第一节单词拼写（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）请根据首字母或汉语提示完成句子。
