22、Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals, while the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think so much of them that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general.【1】.

It is possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight, so do savages（野蛮人）; so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized.【2】. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some ways of setting their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off greater number of the other side, and then saying that the side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but also because it has won, it has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means power is right. This is what the story of mankind has been like. But we must not expect too much. After all, the race of men has only just started. 【3】. Scientists assume that there has been life of some sort on the earth for about twelve hundred million years; but there have been men for only one million years, and there have been civilized men for about eight thousand years.

【4】. Taking man's civilized past at about seven or eight hours, we may estimate his future at about one hundred thousand years. Thus mankind is only at the beginning of its whole a pretty beastly business, a business of fighting and killing. We must not expect even civilized peoples not to have done these things. All we can ask is that they will sometimes have done something else.

A．Even being good at getting others to fight most efficiently is not being civilized.

B．Most people believe those who have conquered the most nations are the greatest.

C．However, every year conflict between countries and nations still claim thousands of lives.

D．From the point of view of evolution, human beings are very indeed, babies of a few months old.

E．So there has been little time to learn in, but there will be oceans of time in which to learn better.

F．People don't fight and kill each other in the streets, but nations still behave like savages.

23、What do you usually do to comfort your friends when they are feeling sad or depressed? You probably pat them on the back or shoulder, or maybe you give them a big, warm hug.

We used to think that knowing when and how to comfort others was an ability that only humans have. But scientists have discovered that apes have this ability, too, according to a study published in the Journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences .

Two researchers from Emory University in Atlanta, US, went to an Ape Protection Centre in Congo to study bonobos, which are closely related to humans .

The researchers analyzed the bonobos’ reactions after more than 370 cases of stressful situations, such as fights and losing temper, and found that some bonobos rushed to hug those that were screaming after being attacked, just like humans would have done.

However, researchers noted that not all bonobos were capable of comforting others. In the protection centre, many bonobos are orphans whose mothers were killed by hunters. They were found to be more anxious in times of tension and to have greater difficulty controlling their own emotions, making them worse at reaching out to help friends in need .

“Orphans, who have not had the benefit of a mother helping them handling their emotions, are much worse at comforting others,” Professor Frans de Waal, one of the researchers, told The Telegraph. “Bonobos with moms were able to curb their negative emotional reactions more quickly. Therefore, they pay more attention to others. ”

This pattern mirrors the way that human children have been found to react. Those who seem more capable of handling their own emotions – for example, the ones who can calm themselves down more quickly after upsetting experiences – are usually better at expressing their concerns for others.

【1】The 5th paragraph is mainly developed by __________ .

A．giving examples

B．following time order

C．making comparisons

D．presenting causes and effects

【2】The underlined word “curb” in the 6th paragraph probably means “_________ ” .

A．express

B．observe

C．handle

D．hide

【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Orphan bonobos never give a hand to friend.

B．There were 370 bonobos involved in the research.

C．The ability to comfort others is unique to human beings.

D．Moms play a significant role in handling kids’ emotions.

【4】What’s the main purpose of this passage?

A．To inform readers of a new study.

B．To uncover the mystery of Apes.

C．To provide better protection for Apes.

D．To compare human behaviors with Apes’ .

24、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 plus 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) 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.

【1】The writer chiefly talks about ________.

A. the use of telemedicine

B. the on-lined doctors

C. medical care and treatment

D. communication improvement

【2】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.

【3】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

25、   Peggy Lewis lost her house in a brutal tornado, but the tornado couldn’t take the one thing that meant the most.

One _______, Peggy Lewis and her husband, Harris Lee, were ______ the trees blow in the wind outside their home in Eureka, Kansas. The next, they were surrounded by glass from the house’s _______ windows. The roof tore off. The walls caved in. After the tornado had _______, it took a team of neighbors to take them to the hospital. “I thought we were going to_______,” says Lewis.

When the pair ______ to their property three days after that awful night last June, it was _______ that what remained of the house would need to be torn down. But _______ Lewis would let that happen, she wanted one thing—her family Bible.

After an hour of _______, one of the volunteers ran up to her. Lewis had tears streaming down her cheeks and a book in her hands. Stunningly, while many books inside the home had been destroyed beyond________, the Bible was still intact(完好无损), even though it had sat in the rain for days. “I________broke down,” says Lewis.
