I am my mother’s third child. When I was born, her doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was    41   , below the elbow (肘部). Then he gave her some    42  . “Don’t treat her any    43   from the other girls. Demand more.” And she    44  .
My mother had to work to support our family. There were five girls in our family and we all had to    45  . Once when I was about seven, I came out of the    46  , “Mom, I can’t peel (削皮) potatoes. I only have one hand.”
“You get back to peel those potatoes, and don’t ever use that as a(n)    47   for anything again!”
Of course I could peel potatoes with my good hand while holding them down with my other arm. There was always a    48  , and Mom knew it. “If you try hard  49  ,” she’d say, “You can do anything.”
Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars (高低杠). When it was my turn, I    50   my head. Some kids    51  . I went home crying.
After work the next afternoon, Mom took me to the school play-ground.
“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I practiced, and she    52    me when I made progress.
I’ll never forget the    53   time I was crossing the bars. The kids were standing there with their mouths open.
It was the way with everything. When I    54   I can’t handle (處理) things, I see Mom’s smile again. She had the heart to    55   anything. And she taught me I could, too.

Devra Davis was an American epidemiologist (流行病學(xué)家) and writer. In When Smoke Ran Like Water, Devra Davis takes the reader from killer smoke to the serious problems of the present including breast cancer and climate change. Davis has been devoted to decreasing illness and loss of life from environmental pollution for decades. She is determined not to let figures and numbers hide the people whose lives are in danger.
One of the things that makes When Smoke Ran Like Water, her book on the battle against pollution, so powerful is that she hasn’t just only studied the statistics (數(shù)字統(tǒng)計(jì)), but she’s lived them. As a child in the Monongahela River town, she survived the 1948 smog (煙霧) pollution that was reported to have killed 20 people. She writes, “The 50 people who died in the month following decade are nowhere counted. And there is no counting of the thousands called the non-killed － all those who went on to suffer in various poorly understood ways.”
For Davis, counting counts. She focuses on epidemiology, the science which is rooted in numbers. Her book is a series of related stories, which uses a convincing (具有說服力的) method to support her conclusions. For anyone interested in the future of human health, When Smoke Ran Like Water also provides a valuable basis for understanding and action.
67. We can learn from the text that Davis cares most about_____.
A. the measures taken by governments to fight environmental pollution
B. the lasting damage to health caused by environmental pollution
C. the number of people died in environmental pollution
D. the environmental pollution caused by the smog in 1948
68.The author thinks that When Smoke Ran Like Water is a powerful book because_______.
A. Davis was an expert in the study of pollution
B. Davis used real numbers to study pollution
C. Davis was good at writing interesting stories
D. Davis put her real-life experience into the book
69. What kind of method is used by Davis to support the conclusion?
A. The reasoning method          B. The storytelling method
C. The statistic method              D. The experiment method
70. The purpose of the text is to________.
A. show the damage caused by pollution
B. explain why When Smoke Ran Like Water is popular
C. introduce When Smoke Ran Like Water to readers
D. tell the life of the American writer Devra Davis

I'll be the first to admit that I am a technophobe(對(duì)技術(shù)有恐懼感的人）.Who would have guessed that a website would help repay a 20-year-old loan?
I'1l always remember my last day at school. My best friend, Jenny, had organized a party in the Sixth
Form Common Room;
Jenny asked me to go to the supermarket with her to buy all the snacks. "I'm really looking forward to this party, Stingy," she said. Everyone called me Stingy instead of Debbie because they thought I didn't like to spend money. Actually, it was true.
"There's lots of money in the kitty(零星湊起的一筆錢）. Let's go crazy!" Going crazy meant buying enough snacks to feed an army. It came to ￡ 19.90,which was a lot of money in 1982.
Jenny gave me a guilty( 內(nèi)疚的) look. "I've left-the kitty money in the common room. Can you pay and I'll give you back the money?"
"Sure," I replied, trying to look relaxed. ' Neither a lender or a borrower be' was my motto but I didn't want to look stingy(小氣). I gave ￡20 to the impatient shop assistant.
Well, the Party was a great success. So great that I completely forgot about my loan until I was flying to America the next day.  I was going to live with my uncle's family until I started university.
I tried to get in touch with Jenny but her family had moved. My ￡20 was lost. Until...
I'd heard about a website called Friends Reunited which helped people contact old school friends.  My husband helped me log on and find my school. There she was,Jenny Frost.
I'm now married with a beautiful daughter called Debbie. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Debbie 'Stingy' Jones? I still owe her ￡20!
We met two months later and the ￡20 was returned, plus interest(利息)of course. After all, I'm a bank manager now, so loans are my business.
小題1:Why did Jenny spend a lot of money on the snacks?                                                     

A．Debbie had money.	B．There was money she could use.
C．She wanted Debbie to stop being stingy.	D．She wanted to be crazy.

小題2: How did Debbie get her money at last?                                                     

A．Her husband found Jenny.	B．Jenny had a website on the Internet.
C．Debbie met Jenny.	D．Debbie put a message on the Friends Reunited website.

小題3:We know from the passage that Jenny       .                            

A．liked parties at school and felt guilty about borrowing money

B．had fun at school but soon forgot about her school friends

C．forgot her best friend at school until she saw the Friends Reunited website

D．was forgetful about the money

Moreover, insofar as any interpretation of its author can be made from the five or six plays attributed to him, the Wake field Master is uniformly considered to be a man of sharp contemporary observation. He was, formally, perhaps clerically educated, as his Latin and music, his Biblical and patristic lore indicate. He is, still, celebrated mainly for his quick sympathy for the oppressed and forgotten man, his sharp eye for character, a ready ear for colloquial vernacular turns of speech and a humor alternately rude and boisterous, coarse and happy. Hence despite his conscious artistry as manifest in his feeling for intricate metrical and stanza forms, he is looked upon as a kind of medieval Steinbeck, indignantly angry at, uncompromisingly and even brutally realistic in presenting the plight of the agricultural poor.
Thus taking the play and the author together, it is mow fairly conventional to regard the former as a kind of ultimate point in the secularization of the medieval drama. Hence much emphasis on it as depicting realistically humble manners and pastoral life in the bleak hills of the West Riding of Yorkshire on a typically cold bight of December 24th. After what are often regarded as almost “documentaries” given in the three successive monologues of the three shepherds, critics go on to affirm that the realism is then intensified into a burlesque mock-treatment of the Nativity. Finally as a sort of epilogue or after-thought in deference to the Biblical origins of the materials, the play slides back into an atavistic mood of early innocent reverence. Actually, as we shall see, the final scene is not only the culminating scene but perhaps the raison d’etre of introductory “realism.”
There is much on the surface of the present play to support the conventional view of its mood of secular realism. All the same, the “realism” of the Wakefield Master is of a paradoxical turn. His wide knowledge of people, as well as books indicates no cloistered contemplative but one in close relation to his times. Still, that life was after all a predominantly religious one, a time which never neglected the belief that man was a rebellious and sinful creature in need of redemption, So deeply (one can hardly say “naively” of so sophisticated a writer) and implicitly religious is the Master that he is less able (or less willing) to present actual history realistically than is the author of the Brome “Abraham and Isaac”. His historical sense is even less realistic than that of Chaucer who just a few years before had done for his own time costume romances, such as The Knight’s Tale, Troilus and Cressida, etc. Moreover Chaucer had the excuse of highly romantic materials for taking liberties with history.
小題1:Which of the following statements about the Wakefield Master is NOT True?
[A]. He was Chaucer’s contemporary.
[B]. He is remembered as the author of five or six realistic plays.
[C]. He write like John Steinbeck.
[D]. HE was an accomplished artist.
小題2: By “patristic”, the author means
[A]. realistic. [B]. patriotic
[C]. superstitious. [C]. pertaining to the Christian Fathers.
小題3: The statement about the “secularization of the medieval drama” refers to the
[A]. introduction of mundane matters in religious plays.
[B]. presentation of erudite material.
[C]. use of contemporary introduction of religious themes in the early days.
小題4: In subsequent paragraphs, we may expect the writer of this passage to
[A]. justify his comparison with Steinbeck.
[B]. present a point of view which attack the thought of the second paragraph.
[C]. point out the anachronisms in the play.
[D]. discuss the works of Chaucer.

As a solo artist, Brightman has sold 26 million albums and two million DVDs in 34 countries. Her musical styles put opera, pop and jazz together. She is popular in the States but not here(Britain) – the image of her and her second husband, Andrew Lloyd Webber (he much older, she his muse) seems for ever frozen.

The 47-year-old singer talks about the new album Symphony that came out of a “very dark time”, including her decision to give up trying to have children. “People have suggested I could adopt,” Brightman says. “But work is central to my life now. And so I am going to put it to one side. After a while not having children becomes the norm and perhaps that might sound alarming, to parents especially, but I have never known anything different. I’m not hurt by not having children. My life and career are incredibly rich.”
Talking about growing up in a large family in Berkhamsted (father a property developer who later committed suicide), she says: “I was gifted as a child, and very musical. I seemed to be good at anything to do with the arts. At 5 I understood the music I was dancing to and had an eye for costume.” She first appeared in a West End musical at 11 and hated boarding school.
Brightman led the saucy dance troupe（辣妹三人舞） Hot Gossip and had her first hit with I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper in 1978. At 18 she married a music manager called Andrew Graham Stewart. “I was probably in love but I can’t remember. Girls change such a lot between 18 and 22. It didn’t really work out.” In 1981 she was spotted by Lloyd Webber. She became his leading lady in Song and Dance, Requiem and Phantom of the Opera. They married in 1984.
Brightman says she felt hostility(敵意) “from the beginning. I haven’t tried to understand it. I’ve done very well everywhere else, especially the US, where I now live, I just accept it for what it is. The more you are away from Britain, the more you appreciate it. But I don’t miss it, although I miss my family. Our profession can be uncomfortable but I enjoy what I do. I get on with it.”
小題1:The first paragraph tells us that _____.

A．Brightman is very popular around the world except in America

B．Brightman’s musical style is a mixture of opera, pop and jazz

C．the British people don’t like her for her style of music

D．Brightman is much older than Andrew Lloyd Webber

小題2:Brightman decided to give up having children because _____.

A．she could adopt one	B．her life and career were unbelievably rich without children
C．she felt it normal not to have children	D．she was too busy

小題3: The following statements are true except ______.

A．Brightman first appeared in a West End musical at 5

B．Brightman disliked life on the campus

C．Brightman was very gifted when she was young

D．The saucy dance troupe made Brightman famous

小題4:The underlined word in the fourth paragraph probably means _____.

A．located

B．a(chǎn)dmired

C．followed

D．found

小題5:What does the author try to say in the last paragraph by quoting Brightman’s words?

A．Brightman has to accept the fact that she is liked in Britain

B．Brightman lives in America but she loves her own country

C．The British coldness towards Brightman led to her hatred to her homeland

D．Brightman was at a loss why she was not welcome in Britain

A few days ago I asked my sons’ governess（女家庭教師）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Let’s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you’re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”
　　“Forty.”
　　“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you’ve been here two months, so...”
　　“Two months and five days.”
　　“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word.
　　“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct？”
　　Julia’s left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but - still not a word.
　　“Around New Year’s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didn’t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”
　　“You didn’t. ”sobbed Julia.
　　“But I made a note of it.”
　　“Well... if you say so.”
　　“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”
　　Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!
　　“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”
　　“Really? You see now, and I didn’t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves eleven. Here’s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”
　　I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.
　　“Merci （法語(yǔ): 謝謝）,”she whispered.
　　I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this - ‘merci’?” I asked.
　　“For the money. ”
　　“But you know I’ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this‘merci’？”
　　“In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”
　　“They didn’t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didn’t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）—to be such a fool?”
　　Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”
　　I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !”

Britons stranded（擱淺）at sea or in flooded homes could find a real-life prince riding to their rescue. Prince William announced on Monday that he is to train to be a full-time pilot with the Royal Air Force's Search and Rescue Force (SARF).
William, who is currently a Lieutenant（中尉）in the Army's Household Cavalry Regiment（皇家騎兵團(tuán)）, will transfer to the RAF and begin an 18-month training course in January 2009.
If successful, he will become a fully operational Search and Rescue pilot in 2010, flying Sea King helicopters at one of the six SARF units based in Britain.
"The time I spent with the RAF earlier this year made me realize how much I love flying," the prince, who spent two weeks with a SARF team while on work experience in 2005, said in a statement.
"Joining Search and Rescue is a perfect opportunity for me to serve in the Forces operationally, while contributing to a vital part of the country's Emergency Services."
It means he will follow a similar career to that of his uncle, Prince Andrew, who was a Sea King helicopter pilot during the 1982 Falklands war.
The Search and Rescue teams' main duty is to recover RAF personnel but in peacetime they mainly respond to civilian emergencies, dealing with more than 1,000 calls a year.
The units deal with incidents ranging from helping those trapped by sudden major floods to rescuing people lost while out walking on hills.
William, who has spent the last year on secondment（借調(diào)）to the various branches of the military to prepare for his future role as head of the armed forces, received his RAF wings （飛行勛章）following a four-month stint（持續(xù)的工作）with the service earlier this year.
However, his time with the RAF was clouded when the Defense Ministry was forced to fend off criticism for allowing the prince to fly military helicopters to a bachelor party for his cousin and to the family home of his girlfriend Kate Middleton.
小題1: Prince William wanted to be a full-time pilot because _____.

A．he liked flying

B．he would like to do something in the country’s Emergency Services

C．many Britons were in danger at sea waiting for rescue

D．he had much experience in flying

小題2:According to the passage, _____.

A．the Falklands war broke out in 2005

B．Prince William served in the Army’s Household Cavalry Regiment in 1982

C．Prince Andrew is serving in SARF now

D．William would finish his training course in June 2010

小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that______.

A．the RAF is an army that rescues its soldiers during wartime

B．either Andrew or William is interested in flying

C．there are many floods happening in Britain

D．the prince saving the people in danger is no longer fairy tale

小題4:The author’s opinion on William’s joining RAF is ______.

A．enthusiastic

B．doubtful

C．negative

D．pessimistic

小題5:What is the purpose of the author by mentioning what the prince had done before in the last paragraph?

A．The author wants to say that Prince William pays much attention to his family and friends

B．The author suggests that the Defense Ministry was criticized when William flew for his private business

C．William had a hard time when he went against his leaders

D．The author has the worry that Prince William is likely to get the Defense Ministry into trouble again.

One kilogram --- that was all it took to crown（給……加冕） the world's strongest man.

German weightlifter Matthias Steiner pulled ahead of Russian rival Evgeny Chigishev to win the Olympic men's +105 kg weightlifting gold medal on Tuesday.
Steiner lifted a total of 461kg, 203kg in the snatch(抓舉) and 258kg in the clean and jerk(挺舉), to beat Chigishev by a single kilogram. The German won the battle of giants in his last lift, winning his country's first gold medal in the event at this year's Games.
Steiner's winning lift was also the last effort of the sport for this Olympics at which China earned eight of the 15 golds.
Steiner was born in Austria and represented his country of birth at the Athens Olympics four years ago, placing seventh in the lower 105kg category, but had a falling out with Austria's weightlifting federation afterwards.
He applied for German citizenship in 2005 and got married, but his career went into deep freeze（困境）as he could not compete without a passport. He finally obtained the document last January.
The German, who turns 26 on Monday, had come to these Games on a mission to win the title for his wife Susann, who died in a car accident in July last year. The German team said he used the personal tragedy to motivate himself to win the gold medal.
Chigishev was the strongest in the snatch session Tuesday. He kissed his fists after a 210-kg lift that gave him a 7-kg advantage over fourth-placed Steiner going into the second event -- the clean and jerk. He let out a victorious roar（吼叫）after clearing 250 kg in his last lift, but the glory was short-lived as Steiner stunned（使瞠目）everyone with his final, winning clean and jerk effort.
