21、   As doctors performed surgery on Dagmar Turner's brain, the sound of a violin filled the operating room. The music came from the patient on the operating table. In a video  from the surgery, the violinist was moving her bow(琴弓)up and down as surgeons behind a plastic sheet worked to remove her brain tumor(肿瘤).The King's College Hospital surgeons woke her up in the middle of the operation in order to ensure they did not damage parts of the brain necessary for playing the violin and keep her hand's functions intact.

Turner, 53, learned that she had a slow-growing tumor. Later doctors found that it  had become more aggressive and the violinist decided to have surgery to remove it. Turner recalled doctors telling her, "Your tumor is on the right-hand side, so it will not affect your right hand, it will affect your left hand. "Staring down at her left hand, she said, “This is my most important part. My job these days is playing the violin, which is my passion. ”

" We knew how important the violin is to Turner, so it was vital that we preserved function in the delicate areas of her brain that allowed her to play, "Keyoumars Ashkan, a  doctor at King's College Hospital, said in a press release.

Before Turner's operation, Ashkan and his colleagues spent two hours carefully  mapping her brain to identify areas that were active when she played the violin and those controlling language and movement. Waking her up during surgery then allowed doctors to monitor whether those parts were suffering damage. The surgery was a success. Ashkan said, "We managed to remove over 90 percent of the tumour, including all areas suspicious of aggressive activity, while retaining full function of her left hand."

Brad Mahon, expert at Carnegie Mellon University, said the basic features of an "awake craniotomy"-the type of brain surgery where patients are awake in order to avoid damage to critical brain areas--have remained largely unchanged for decades. For example, doctors have long used simple tests such as asking a patient to name what they're seeing in pictures to make sure language ability is preserved.

But he said that doctors are now able to map the patient's brain activity in great detail before the surgery, using an imaging technique called functional MRI. That means surgeons are coming into the operating room with tar more information about a specific patient's brain. That kind of information helps doctors tailor tests to a patient's particular needs.

【1】What does the underlined word “intact" mean in the first paragraph?

A.strong B.sound

C.talented D.influential

【2】Why did Ashkan and his colleagues map Turner's brain before operation?

A.To keep her brain more active when she played the violin.

B.To monitor whether her brain had suffered damage severely.

C.To recognize the areas related to music and movement precisely.

D.To remove the tumor while keeping all function of her brain.

【3】What can we know according to Brad Mahon?

A.Doctors are using an imaging technique to monitor the surgery.

B.Patients are asleep to protect critical brain areas in a surgery.

C.A patient's language ability couldn't be preserved before.

D.Surgeons can personalize a patient's operation by mapping his brain.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Musician joined in her own brain surgery

B.Mapping a brain is realized after surgery

C.The violinist suffers from a brain tumor

D.Doctors perform surgery on a brain

22、   Scientists believe the earth is 4.6 billion years old. However, the mountains, valleys, rivers, deserts and forests we see today are much younger than that. For example, Qomolangma is about 60 million years old and the Amazon Rainforest is about 55 million years old. The Baltic Sea, the youngest sea in the world, is only about 15,000 years old.

The earth is always changing because of volcanoes, earthquakes and, of course, wind and rain. Some of these changes are very slow and others are quick. Water and ice can make very big changes to the planet. For example, glaciers can cut through mountains and make deep valleys.

It’s normal for our planet to change. But at the moment scientists think it’s changing faster than usual. They don’t understand everything that is happening but they know that temperatures are rising. Besides, the weather is getting wetter in some places and drier in others, and there are more big storms. Now there is a growing awareness that climate change is definitely not confined to a certain region or country. However, it is a problem all countries are involved. What’s more, there is no denying t hat industrial emissions has been the main influence of climate change for the last 50 years, overwhelming natural forces.

However, these changes are not bad for everyone. Because the Arctic is getting warmer, farmers in Greenland now can grow and sell vegetables. That wasn’t possible 50 years ago. Farmers in Greenland like the warm weather and hope it will continue.

【1】Which of the following is the oldest?

A.The earth. B.Qomolangma.

C.The Amazon Rainforest. D.The Baltic Sea.

【2】All of these lead to the changes of the earth EXCEPT ________.

A.glaciers B.deep valleys

C.wind and rain D.volcanoes and earthquakes

【3】Why do farmers in Greenland like the warm weather?

A.They turned the impossible into possible.

B.The warm weather is good for the Arctic.

C.They now own businesses and become successful.

D.They benefit from the vegetable businesses that did not exist before.

【4】Which do you think is the best title?

A.Global Warming B.Beautiful Greenland

C.Our Changing Planet D.The Old Earth

23、According to Guglielmo Cavallo and Roger Chartier, reading aloud was a common practice in the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and as late as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Readers were “listeners attentive to a reading voice,” and “the text addressed to the ear as much as to the eye.” The significance of reading aloud continued well into the nineteenth century.

Using Charles Dickens' nineteenth century as a point of departure, it would be useful to look at the familial and social uses of reading aloud and reflect on the functional change of the practice. Dickens habitually read his work to a domestic audience or friends. In his later years he also read to a broader public crowd. Chapters of reading aloud also abound in Dickens' own literary works. More importantly, he took into consideration the Victorian practice when composing his prose, so much so that his writing is meant to be heard, not only read on the page.

Performing a literary text orally in a Victorian family is well documented. Apart from promoting a pleasant family relationship, reading aloud was also a means of protecting young people from the danger of solitary (孤独的) reading. Reading aloud was a tool for parental guidance. By means of reading aloud, parents could also introduced literature to their children and as such the practice combined leisure and more serious purposes such as religious cultivation in the youths. Within the family, it was commonplace for the father to read aloud. Dickens read to his children: one of his surviving and often-reprinted photographs features him posing on a chair, reading to his two daughters.

Reading aloud in the nineteenth century was as much a class phenomenon as a family affair, which points to a widespread belief that Victorian readership primarily meant a middle-class readership. Those who fell outside this group tended to be overlooked by Victorian publishers. Despite this, Dickens, with his publishers Chapman and Hall, managed to distribute literary reading materials to people from different social classes by reducing the price of novels. This was also made possible with the technological and mechanical advances in printing and the spread of railway networks at the time.

Since the literacy level of this section of the population was still low before school attendance was made compulsory in 1870 by the Education Act, a considerable number of people from lower classes would listen to recitals of texts. Dickens' readers, who were from such social backgrounds, might have heard Dickens in this manner. Several biographers of Dickens also draw attention to the fact that it was typical for his texts to be read aloud in Victorian England, and thus illiteracy was not an obstacle for reading Dickens. Reading was no longer a chiefly closeted form of entertainment practiced by the middle class at home.

A working-class home was in many ways not convenient for reading: there were too many distractions, the lighting was bad, and the home was also often half a workhouse. As a result, the Victorians from the non-middle classes tended to find relaxation outside the home such as in parks and squares, which were ideal places for the public to go while away their limited leisure time. Reading aloud, in particular public reading, to some extent blurred the distinctions between classes. The Victorian middle class defined its identity through differences with other classes. Dickens's popularity among readers from the non-middle classes contributed to the creation of a new class of readers who read through listening.

Different readers of Dickens were not reading solitarily and “jealously” to use Walter Benjamin's term. Instead, they often enjoyed a more communal experience, an experience that is generally lacking in today's world. Modem audiobooks can be considered a contemporary version of the practice. However, while the twentieth-and twentieth-first-century trend for individuals to listen to audiobooks keeps some characteristics of traditional reading aloud—such as “listeners attentive to a reading voice” and the ear being the focus—it is a far more solitary activity.

【1】How did the practice of reading aloud influence Dickens's works?

A．He started to write for a broader public crowd.

B．He included more readable contents in his novels.

C．Scenes of reading aloud became common in his works.

D．His works were intended to be both heard and read.

【4】What change did reading aloud bring to Victorian society?

A．Different classes stated to appreciate and read literary works together.

B．People from lower social classes became accepted as middle-class.

C．The differences between classes grew less significant than before.

D．A non-class society in which everyone could read started to form.

【5】What is likely to be discussed after the last paragraph?

A．New reading trends for individuals.

24、As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.

Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.

One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.

Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.

Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”

【1】The passage tells us that   .

A. people seldom work long hours to make money

B. people hardly buy more things than necessary

C. people are sure everything they own is in the right place

D. people realize there is more to life than just making money

【2】Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ____.

A. was easy to organize   B. has improved family life

C. was extremely expensive   D. has been a total success

【3】What does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph?

A. People work long hours to earn their living.

B. To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life.

C. Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life.

D. People spent too much time and money eating meals.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Jenny, a ten-year-old girl, lived with her poor single mother, Annika, who worked as a cleaner. One day, her mom came home and said her arthritis (关节炎) was getting worse. “It has been getting harder for me to clean the streets the whole day, sweetheart,” her mom said.

“Do you need to go to the doctor, Mom?” Jenny asked. Annika shook her head and simply replied she couldn’t work as much as she used to. “I’ll make less money. We’ll need to save money,” Annika added.

Jenny realized her mother needed her help. She thought about going to work with her mom so they could sweep the same number of streets as before, or even more. Jenny also thought, “Then, my mom will have enough money to go to the doctor.” She told Annika her idea. But Annika disagreed and explained, “You should study hard at school, Jenny.” Jenny agreed and continued with school.

A few days later, however, Annika realized she couldn’t deal with her work on her own and allowed Jenny to help her after school every day. Jenny nodded right away and helped her mom sweep streets.

To pass the time, Jenny would sing the songs of her favorite singer while sweeping. Jenny loved the singer, but didn’t know a lot about her. Actually, the singer was a very kind person. If she knew someone needed help, she’d give a helping hand.

One afternoon, some of Jenny’s classmates saw her sweeping the street. They began making fun of her, with words like “Your mother is a cleaner, and you’re a cleaner, too!” Jenny paid no attention to them, and continued to sing her favorite song while sweeping.

Her classmates then took photos and videos of Jenny and posted them online. “Our classmate is a street sweeper!” they wrote in their post. While they expected others to laugh at Jenny, they were surprised at what happened afterwards.
