阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56 years has saved the lives of more than two million babies.

James Harrison has an antibody in his plasma (血浆) that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease, a form of severe anemia (贫血症). He has enabled countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies, including his own daughter, Tracey, who had a healthy son thanks to her father’s blood.

Mr. Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18 years old and has now added up to a total of 984 donations. When he started donating, his blood was regarded so special that his life was insured for one million Australian dollars.

He was also nicknamed the “man with the golden arm” or the “man in two million”. He said, “I’ve never thought about stopping. Never.”He made a promise to be a donor aged 14 after taking major chest surgery in which he needed 13 liters of blood. “I was in hospital for three months,” h e said. “The blood I received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18.”

Just after he started donating he was found to have the rare and life-saving antibody in his blood. At the time, thousands of babies in Australia were dying each year of Rhesus disease. Other newborns suffered permanent brain damage because of the condition. The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother’s blood and her unborn baby’s blood. It stems from one having Rh-positive blood and the other Rh-negative.

His blood has since led to the development of a vaccine (疫苗) called Anti-D. After his blood

type was discovered, Mr. Harrison volunteered to have a series of tests to help develop the Anti-D vaccine. “They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of,” he said. “I wasn’t scared. I was glad to help. I had to sign every form going and basically sign my life away.”

Mr. Harrison is Rh-negative and was given injections of Rh-positive blood. It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women. It has also been given to babies after they are born to stop them developing the disease.

It is estimated he has helped save 2.2 million babies so far. Mr. Harrison is still donating every few weeks now.

51. How old is James Harrison?

A. 56

B. 70

C. 74

D. 78

52. Why did James decide to donate his blood? Because .

A. his daughter asked him to help her son

B. he has a golden arm worth a million dollars

C. a vaccine called Anti-D is to be developed

D. someone else’s blood saved his life

53. The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 5) suggests that .

A. babies suffer permanent brain damage before their birth

B. the mother and the baby have different types of blood

C. Rhesus disease contributes to permanent brain damage

D. all the patients have a rare antibody in their blood

54. What can we infer from the sixth paragraph?

A. Some of the tests to develop the vaccine are dangerous.

B. His wife Barbara needed to be taken care of badly then.

C. Mr. Harrison was glad to help develop a new vaccine.

D. His blood type was accidentally discovered after tests.

B

Robots are being used for the first time in hospitals. “Robot-nurses” perform a variety of tasks such as delivering medicine, food and laboratory samples to sickrooms and taking away waste. Patients aren’t treated by robots, as this is still done by medical staff. The idea is to employ robots to transport supplies between departments.

“Nurses often have to break off from what they are doing to gather supplies,” says Peter Seiff, who makes the robots called TUGs. Research shows any interruption in medical work can lead to errors --- a nurse may forget whether she has given medicine and may give a patient double the dose (剂量) or none at all.

The robots vary in size according to what job they perform, but normally take the shape of a metal box on wheels, with a box on the side containing their software.

After being programmed, the robots are able to find their way around a hospital unassisted. They also contain scanning technology to create electronic pictures or a “memory” of routes on their hard drives to help them go through passages, doors and other obstacles. Each robot is also monitored at the producer’s headquarters (总部) in case it runs into any difficulties.

Trials show TUGs reduce the time it takes for a patient to receive medicine, and stop drugs

from going missing. A study at the University of Maryland Medical Centre in the U.S. found that when three TUGs were used over the course of a year, the average length of time from the drugstore receiving a prescription to the patient receiving it dropped from 74 minutes to 30 minutes and saved nurses 6,123 hours finding medicines. It also cut the number of medicines that went missing to zero.

“The biggest complaints we receive from patients is that the nurses don’t spend enough time with them. Anything that frees nurses is a boon,” says Katherine Mulligan, director of nursing at the hospital, “The TUGs allow nurses to spend more time focusing on patient care. Nurse satisfaction has improved.”

55. Which of the following activities are robot-nurses NOT programmed to deal with?

A. Transporting supplies.

B. Taking away waste.

C. Taking care of patients.

D. Creating electronic pictures.

56. The underline word “boon” in the last paragraph probably means .

A. benefit

B. dream

C. habit

D. complaint

57. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Robots can help nurses save a lot of time.

B. All robots have the same size.

C. Robots are unable to find their way by themselves.

D. Robots cannot get help if they run into difficulties.

58. What is the attitude of the author towards robot-nurses?

A. Neutral.

B. Positive.

C. Negative.

D. Unknown.

C

You may have heard the popular saying, “there are always more fish in the sea”. But as many new studies show, fish populations are changing, and not necessarily for the better.

Consider the case of big, predatory (食肉动物) fish. These giants, like sharks and cod (鳕鱼), eat other smaller fish. Big fish are an important part of the marine ecosystem (海洋生态系统) because they keep down the numbers of smaller fish. Without fish that eat other fish, populations of smaller swimmers would increase, eating more plants, and leaving less vegetation for other creatures, including future fish.

As fierce as predators can be, they’re no match for fishing technology. Many people love to catch predatory fish like sharks, cod and tuna, and new studies suggest that over-fishing is threatening these creatures near the top of the marine food chain.

In one study, Villy Christensen and his colleagues looked at 200 past studies of marine life to learn how fish populations have changed over time. Christensen reported that between 1910 and 1970, the numbers of big predators decreased slowly, and that in 1970 their populations really started to drop. Around that time, fishing ships began using new tools that led to more fish being caught. The numbers have been falling quickly ever since.

Reg Watson looked at the problem from the perspective of the fishermen. In the middle of the 20th century, Watson reported, fishing boats didn’t go far from home, and most fish were caught near the shore. That was no longer true by the 1980s. By then, fishing had moved farther

from shore, into the open oceans, and was helped by the development of new technologies. But since the 1990s, something has changed. Despite new technologies and more efforts, fishing operations have not continued to develop.

Scientists study historical data to understand the present, and this research is needed to forecast the future of fish and fishing. And the forecast doesn’t look good: large predator fish are becoming harder to find, and soon may disappear.

59. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that .

A. more big fish are breeding in the ocean

B. the fewer smaller fish, the more big fish

C. big fish are less important than smaller fish

D. the numbers of smaller fish are controlled by big fish

60. Why did the number of big predators begin to fall quickly in 1970?

A. Fishing ships began using new tools with which they could catch more fish.

B. There were fewer smaller fish than before.

C. There were more people catching big predators.

D. Their environment was being polluted by fishing ships.

61. Which of the following would scientists most probably agree with?

A. It may soon be difficult to find large predator fish.

B. It will cost much more in the future to catch big fish.

C. Smaller fish still give the fishing industry a bright future.

D. It is tough for researchers to forecast the future of fish.

62. What can we conclude from the passage?

A. The decrease of the number of smaller fish has changed the marine food chain.

B. Big fish have to live in the deep sea to avoid being caught.

C. Over-fishing with new technology accounts for the decrease of the number of big fish.

D. The decreasing populations of small fish lead to fewer big fish.

Hello-Hello, a creative mobile language learning company, announced the launch of Hello-Hello World, a free application for the iPad that helps people learn a new language by connecting them with native speakers through social networking.

The application lets users complete language lessons and connect with Hello-Hello’s global community of language learners with members in almost 100 countries to help each other in the learning process.

Hello-Hello World is available in 11 different languages and allows users to submit both oral and writing exercises for their friends and Hello-Hello’s language experts to review. Users are also able to provide written feedback on their friend’s exercises directly from their mobile devices.

“The most effective way to learn a new language is through total immersion (沉浸),”said Sarah Gontijo, founder and CEO of Hello-Hello. “However, not everyone has the opportunity to live in another country. Hello-Hello World brings the convenience of connecting with native speakers anytime, from anywhere. This can help users not only learn the language but also understand the culture.”

Hello-Hello World lets users synchronize (使同步) their information with the Hello-Hello

Cloud and then access the content from any mobile device or computer. The application is first being released for the ipad and will become available on a variety of platforms, including the iPhone, Android and Blackberry.

The application arrives at a time when tablet (平板电脑) computing is driving the creation of new educational tools, such as Hell-Hello World. Many schools and colleges are finding ways to adapt mobile technology for classroom learning. “The market is hot for such pioneering in education and social networking,” said Gontijo. “Hell-Hello promises to be the invention that will set the ball rolling and bring innovation to an industry that has seen little change over the years.”

Technology research firm Gartner predicts that app-store downloads worldwide will double to $17.7 billion as the year closes, and that app-income will hit $15.1 billion, tripling the impact of last year’s sales. App-downloads are expected to continue to jump to 185 billion by 2014, at which point worldwide tablet sales are projected to surpass (超过) 208 million units.

63. With the launch of Hello-Hello world, users can .

Each year about a quarter of a million Americans study abroad. For many of them, a summer or a semester in a foreign country now involves more than just sitting in classrooms and hanging out with other American students. Instead, they are encouraged and sometimes required to be involved in the local communities they are studying in.

“It’s absolutely important that they know something about how people in other parts of the world live and think, and how they behave,”says William Finlay, head of the sociology department at the University of Georgia. In 2008, he co-founded a study abroad program with South Africa’s Stellenbosch University. It combines traditional academic in-class learning with community involvement.

“We’ve been working with a non-government organization in the township. Our students typically either work with little children in day care centers or work in the library and teach very basic computer skills to young children,” says Finlay.

The three-week program proved to be an unforgettable experience for Hillary Kinsey. She says, “It was interesting to learn the history of the area and then talk to these people and see what the social dynamics were, and how certain groups felt about other groups.”

When Hillary Kinsey returned home from South Africa, she and other students in the program established a non-profit group. Kinsey says the group wants to contribute to advancing education and development in South Africa. “One of the purposes of the group is that we hope to raise money and awareness about the situation where those people live and help to promote any sort of educational development that we can, ” Kinsey added.

While many study abroad programs focus on helping Americans to learn foreign languages, others take a more intensive approach. “In all of our locations, we place students with local roommates,” says Mark Lenhart, director of CEF Academic Programs, which sends more than a thousand students to China, Korea and other countries each year.

He says American students benefit from such one-on-one interactions, in spite of the challenges they face. Lenhart says, “They have to adjust to the local life. This will enable students to become more employable when they graduate.”

67. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. How non-profit groups work in South Africa.

B. How to take part in study abroad programs.

C. Americans studying abroad pay more attention to working with local children.

D. Americans combine community involvement with study while studying abroad.

68. The purposes of Hillary Kinsey’s non-profit group include all of the following,

EXCEPT .

A. learning more about South Africa

B. raising money for local people

C. helping to develop education in South Africa

D. raising people’s awareness of the local situation

69. Which of the following CANNOT be used to describe Hillary Kinsey’s feelings about studying

abroad?

A. Interested.

B. Surprised.

C. Impressed.

D. Unforgettable.

70. The advantages of studying abroad mentioned in this passage include .

①making more friends

②being qualified for more jobs

③learning a foreign language

④having the ability to adjust to a new environment

A. ①②③

B. ②③④

C. ①③④

D. ①②④
