湖南省株洲市第二中学2015-2016学年高二上学期期末考试英语试题含答案

株洲市二中2015年下学期高二期末考试试卷语文试题时量：120分钟分值：100分一、现代文阅读（9分，每小题3分）阅读下面的文字，完成1-3题自然作为环境与自然作为其自身是完全不一样的。

自然作为其自身以自身为本位，与人无关。

而自然作为环境，它就失去了自己的本体性，成为人的价值物。

一方面，它是人的对象，相对于实在的人，它外在于人。

但另一方面，当它参与人的价值创造时，就不是人的对象，而是人的一部分，或者说是人的另一体，在这个意义上，环境与人不可分。

自然当其作为人的价值物时，主要有两种情况：一是作为资源，二是作为环境。

资源主要分为生产资源和生活资源。

人要生存和发展，必须要向自然获取生产资源和生活资源，但是必须有个限度，超出限度就可能造成整个生态平衡的严重破坏或某些资源的枯竭。

一般来说，环境比资源外延要大，但更重要的是，资源是人掠夺的对象，而环境是人的家园。

从自然界掠夺资源，不管手段如何，人与自然的关系都是对立的；而将自然界看作环境，不管这里的自然条件如何，人总是力求实现与自然的和谐。

对于当今人类来说，重要的是要将自然看成我们的家。

家，不只是物质性的概念，还是精神性的概念。

环境美的根本性质是家园感，家园感主要表现为环境对人的亲和性、生活性和人对环境的依恋感、归属感。

家的首要功能是居住，居住可以分为三个层级：宜居、利居、乐居。

当前各地都在创建人类的宜居环境，提出建设花园城市，保护历史文化名城等诸多主张，但“宜居”在城市功能的各层次中，只是基础，重在环境保护。

而“利居”仍然是将环境当作资源的观念。

环境一旦成为利用的对象，它与人的关系就存在某种对立。

只有“乐居”，人与环境的关系才不是对立的，而是和谐的，而且这种和谐具有亲缘性、情感性、文化性。

亲缘性，说明环境与人共生的关系。

情感性，说明环境与人的内在心理的关系。

文化性，说明乐居具有丰富而又深刻的文化意味，浓缩提炼了人类文明的精华，真正体现了家园感。

家园感的实现离不开对环境进行建设。

ACar washes are a common sight throughout Nigeria, but Madinat Aliyu’s roadside business is special: she is the only woman car-washer in the north of the country.“This job has caused me a lot of problems.” said the 27-year-old, checking cars waiting to be cleaned.Aliyu began her work two years ago, hoping to use the 7,000 naira(about ￡28) she earned every month to put her younger sisters and brothers through school following the death of their mother, the only one who made money to support the family. But her family begged her to stop doing this job, and she has received “judgment and warnings” from strangers too.“My grandmother cried for many days. Some people thought it was a joke to bring more customers. Others said if I was doing it for money, they would just give me money to stop bringing them shame,” she said to me, as she got water from a well by the roadside. “But I hate laziness and depending on somebody else.”Little by little, Aliyu got admirers. “Some customers only allow her to wash their cars,” said her colleague Shamsudeen Mohammed. “I trained many green hands to wash cars, and I can honestly tell you Aliyu’s work is better than any man’s.” he added.Recently some women came to Aliyu to ask for advice on starting their own business. “Unfortunately a woman’s family discouraged her. I told her, if you listen to them, you will find yourself living a life you don’t want,” she said. Though she is still looked down upon by many, Aliyu has no plans to stop her work. “It is believed men can do something, but I believe I can do it too.”21. Madinat Aliyu washes cars mainly to ______.A. support her familyB. learn about carsC. pay back debtsD. help her friend22. From the fifth paragraph, we know Shamsudeen Mohammed ______.A. sang high praise for AliyuB. trained Aliyu to wash carsC. had more customers than AliyuD. prefers to work with men23. As a woman car-washer, Aliyu ______.A. enjoys her family’s supportB. dreams of going to collegeC. is popular with new customersD. sets an example for other women24. Which of the following can best describe Aliyu?A. Shy but smart.B. Independent and confident.C. Honest but lazy.D. Humorous and imaginative.BWhen Lily Grasso recently brought home a letter from her school, her mother, Kristen Grasso, got angry. The letter claimed that Lily’s body mass index(BMI) was 22 and she was at risk for being overweight.The 11-year-old star volleyball player carries 124 pounds on an athletic 5-foot-3 frame and eats healthy foods. “It says ‘at risk’, and then it tells you to go to their website; when you do that, the ‘at risk’then turns into ‘Lily is overweight’.”Grasso said on TODAY. She believes her daughter enjoys a healthy weight and that the Florida Department of Public Health in Collier County made a mistake by sending what’s known by some as a “fat letter” home with her daughter. She thinks that children might feel bad by being labeled as overweight, especially when they are healthy.But Deb Millsap, public information officer of the Collier Country Healthy Department, and Dr. Joan Colfer, the department director, told TODAY that while the letters are sent home with the students, they are in sealed envelops addressed to the parents. Students can’t open the letters, or that means they are reading their parent s’ mail.The letter included the student s’ BMI and information on their vision and hearing as well as whether they are at risk for scoliosis(脊椎侧凸), with data coming from a regular screening process that occurs when students are in kindergarten, the first, the third, and the sixth grades. Florida is one of the 21 states that have laws requiring BMI screenings. Millsap said the healthdepartment was currently in the middle of screenings for this school year, and last year the department tested 13,454 children. About 25 percent had possible vision issues, less than 1 percent had possible hearing problems, about 2 percent had scoliosis, and 43 percent had BMI issues, either above or below normal numbers. Parents can give up the screening for their children, but Millsap and Colfer said 99% of the parents wouldn’t do.“We do not want kids to have self-esteem(自尊) issues,” said Millsap. “Right on the letter it says sports may impact the results.” Athletic children and adults might have a higher BMI because they have more muscle mass. BMI provides general information for doctors to work with, but does not provide an entire picture of a person’s health.25. When Kristen Grasso received the “fat letter”, she _____.A. was worried a lot about her daughter’s healthB. got annoyed and disagreed with the conclusionC. feared that too much sport hurt her daughterD. felt angry because her daughter made mistakes26. What kind of sports does Lily Grasso take part in?A. Soccer.B. Basketball.C. Tennis.D. Volleyball.27. About the “fat letter”, Deb Millsap held that ______.A. it would greatly hurt students’ self-prideB. it shouldn’t be taken home by studentsC. students shouldn’t read it without permissionD. it was wrong for the health department to do it28. We can know from the passage that ______.A. BMI includes information on vision, hearing and scoliosisB. students will have four screenings before the 7th GradeC. half the states of America have carried out the regular screening processD. about a quarter of American pupils have possible vision issuesCChildren are known to be very keen observers and once they are interested in something, it is very likely to stay with them for life. They tend to look at life through the eyes of the person they are close to or want to be like. If their role model is optimistic, there are more chances of themoptimistic. The role model becomes their standard of measurement.Because they follow the actions of their role models so closely, children adopt the personality and attitude of their role models. Children learn to like or dislike certain things by mimicking the personality and attitude of the people they admire.One reason why children keep changing their answers to “what would you like to be when you grow up” is that they are influenced by individuals in a certain field.Children view the social relationships (family or public) mainly in the light of the importance these relationships hold in the life of their role models. Their expression of their feelings is many times a reflection of their role model’s outlook(观点).According to a study, around 56% of teenagers identified with the role models. Out of these, those having personal or direct contact with their role models had higher self-esteem and were better at academics compared to those who didn’t. As such, children who have positive role models, have more self-confidence and are more optimistic about their future. They learn to handle themselves well in social settings and positively interact with those around them.Of course, children who have their parents as positive role models have a well-rounded outlook towards life. They find it easier to deal with the highs and lows of life because they have seen their parents do it before. They find a sense of stability and security knowing that they will overcome failures just like their parents before them. Besides, it becomes easier for parents to discipline(管教) and guide children. So it is no wonder why children who have parents as their role models have fewer behavioral issues.29. This article is mainly about______.A. the relation between role models and childrenB. the importance of role models to childrenC. how to be a good role model for childrenD. how to change children’s personality and attitude30. The underlined word “mimicking” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ______.A. imitatingB. acceptingC. studyingD. changing31. According to the study, after direct contact with their role models, ______.A. there is a decrease in children’s self-esteemB. there are fewer children better at academicsC. children may feel more optimistic about their futureD. children may have a strong desire to succeed32. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that______A. children’s behavioral issues are seriousB. teaching children strategies for security is importantC. people should learn the latest studies on role modelsD. parents should set a good example for childrenDWealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy. There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. If you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars. The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons p ronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousnessinto savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.33. What is the piggy bank strategy?A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.C. Aiming high even when doing small things.D. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.34. Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?A. To delight him with the latest fashion.B. To encourage him to climb mountains.C. To help him form the habit of saving.D. To teach him English pronunciation.35. The last paragraph talks about ________.A. the seriousness of educating childrenB. the importance of managing moneyC. the enjoyment of taking a great tripD. the difficulty of starting a business第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

This is a story of a repair robot R-62.One day, a car came to the repair factory and a human stepped out of the car.“Wow, a human! I have never seen a real one,” said R-62.“Humans are quite clever. They’re able to do any action they want to. They’re even able to harm other human beings or organize wars, which they have been doing a lot in the history. Also they don’t even have to follow orders if they don’t want to,” said another robot T-59 quietly to R-62.“How terrible it is! And almost all robots seem afraid of him and don’t look at him directly,” said R-62.The human then sat down and asked if there had been any problems in the last 10 years and he only got a quick answer, “No, sir.”Then suddenly, R-62 said loudly, “I have one question for you.”The human said, “Yes”, a bit unhappy for not getting “sir”.“Why do human create so many robots?” asked R-62.Silence followed the question and he then said, “I don’t need to answer questions from robots!” He then went into his car and drove away quickly.“I really don’t understand why humans replaced (取代)themselves with robots,” asked R-62.“Because they thought that robots were more advanced(先进的) than humans. They created us to support themselves,” answered T-59.“But there are so few humans on Earth. What they should do is take away the robots or at least make them sto p doing the work which humans are supposed to do,” said R-62.“I agree. But we can do nothing about it. And now we have to finish repairing this car,” said T-59.“All right, let’s continue.”21. In T-59’s opinion, humans are .A. smartB. politeC. dangerousD. stupid22.

When you do, learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column(专栏) called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life, such as bullying.As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge (海绵), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.28．In the passage, the author mainly talks about _______.A. how to get along well with othersB. the importance of a good relation with teachersC. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant29．“Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _______.A. learning becomes easier for you at onceB. you find an opening to learningC. there’ll be more problems with learningD. there’ll be no problems at all with learning3O．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. If you get on well with your teachers, you must have a good result in exams.B. The more questions you ask, the higher marks you will get.C. If you have a good relationship with your teacher, you can turn to him when in trouble.D. Many kids can do well without a good relationship with teachers.31．Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?A. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn’t like to accept their teachin g.B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they don’t like the teacher.D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies. DA small town in southwest Britain is banning(禁止) plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste－a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.Last month, San Franciso became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty(宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recycling.The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on manne life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response(反应) in the town so far had been “really positive”.“Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,” Hosking t old Sky News Television.The Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.32. What was Rebecca Hosking?A. A lawyer.B. An environmentalist.C. A sailor.D. A photographer.33.The underlined word “disposable” in the passage probab ly means .A. acceptableB. valuableC. throw-awayD. long-lasting34 It can be inferred from the passage that .A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bagsB. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world.C.

This exciting festival is the biggest of its kind in the U.S. It focuses on independent films and it is a platform for new up-and-coming directors to show their creations. The Sundance Festival includes many different categories, from documentary to dramatic, and domestic to international. Both short and full-length pictures are now allowed. Academy AwardsThe Academy Awards ceremony has come a long way from its 1929 beginning as a small, private ceremony to its present-day status as the red carpet event of the year. While the Oscar is the Acad emy’s best known award, it’s not the only one awarded by the Academy. In fact, the Academy’s Board of Governors also gives out Science and Technical Awards, Honorary Awards and Special Achievement Awards.Cannes International Film FestivalThe Cannes International Film Festival is held in Cannes, France. It is an annual event which nowadays takes place during May. The concept of the festival dates back to 1932. Some French film-makers demanded that the French government support a film festival where films could be judged on merit(价值), rather than in a political context. The choice of venue was between Biarritz and Cannes, and the latter was chosen because it was the only place willing to fund the festival.Berlin International Film FestivalOne of the most awaited film festivals of the year is the Berlin International Film Festival. It has been held annually since 1951 every February. This is where the best and the brightest of the stars from across the globe gather to witness a grand ceremony of films.

But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the ball is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.All children soon learn what “Don't touch! ”means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy, such as food, clothes and so on. To see something well, we have to touch it.The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a bad floor. All feel different under your feet.There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things which you can touch. Their signs say, “Do touch！” There you can feel everything on show. If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you'll really see!66. By touching things________.A. you will have a strange feelingB. you will learn how to reach outC. you can tell the difference between themD. you can tell what colors they are67. Which of the following can be the BEST title of the passage?A. Touching by feelingB. To see or to feelC. To see better—feelD. Ways of feeling68. When people buy things in shops, they often________.A. try them on firstB. put their right hand on themC. just have a lookD. feel and touch them69. Why does it say，“At first，it is not easy to feel these things”？A. Because the things are used by people, too.B. Because people are used to these things.C. Because people know how to use these things.D. Because these things are easy to feel.70. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Touching can help people learn things better.B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us enjoy music.C. People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.D. Visitors cannot touch the things on show in all the museums.Part 1V Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using theinformation from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Acting is voluntarily entering the psyche(心灵) of another personality and thinking according to a different set of values. It lets you explore the various possibilities of what you could be. Just being your own self can be boring at times but acting gives you an opportunity to be someone else for a while. It lets you deeply explore what it means to be human!To play a role, you must embrace(接受) the character you're acting with open arms. Understand the plot of the play and the psyche of your character. Try to understand why your character behaves the way it does. Learn the lines or dialogues thoroughly and explore the thought behind every sentence. This will help you picture the circumstances in which the character finds itself.To be that person, there is no way you can live the life he or she has, but you can draw parallels from your own life, which will help you relate to the person. You have to draw parallels from your own experience and actually try to feel what the character feels. Say the lines only when you "feel" the way your character does. Let them come out naturally.Only through practice will you get closer to actually be that person, and many acting exercises can help you. Try saying the dialogue giving the correct facial expressions in front of a mirror. Learn the techniques of raising as well as lowering your voice. Practice acting out the expressions like joy, sorrow, laughter, anger, disapproval, satisfaction etc. These facial expressions, if mastered well, can make your acting experience happy.In short, your experience off stage and the awareness with which you live your life are the keys to unlock your acting potential. Confidence, sincerity and the ability to let go of yourself will turn into a great acting performance!Title: How to actI. 71. ___________________of acting●exploring the various possibilities of what you could be●avoiding 72. _____________ by being someone else for a while●exploring the 73. ______________ of being humanII.

Adults frequently told me that carrots would improve my eyesight, so that seemed like a good reason to try liking them.There was one person who didn’t tell me this; he actually told me the opposite. My grandfather overheard somebody tell me that carrots would improve my eyesight. He didn’t say anything immediately, but he let me in on a l ittle secret after that person left the room—it was all a big lie. Carrots do not improve your eyesightSure，carrots contain beta-carotene, which metabolizes into Vitamin A and everyone agrees that is essential for maintaining eye health, but it does not improve it (unless the body is deprived of it to begin with). Also, it really has nothing to do with carrots, the necessary vitamins can come from any source.So where did this myth come from?During World War I, the British were particularly good at shooting down Nazi bombers at night, when it’s almost impossible to see other planes. It was as if they had super-human sight, and they did. They had radar.Once news stories started to circulate about these pilots with seemingly super-human eyes, the government needed a good explanation to prevent the Germans from learning about this technology: carrots.Flight Lieutenant John Cunningham, nicknamed “Cats Eyes” for his incredible ability to shoot down enemy planes, had a natural love for carrots. The story wrote itself and they explained that they were feeding other pilots a lot of carrots to improve their eyesight too.81.What function do people usually think the carrot has?

They decided on the 38 after a brief discussion because lion were “the king of the grassland”. The second showed a division (路口)going separately to the pandas and peacock. They 39 pandas as it was the nation’s treasure and went the way. Thus they made choices all along the way and each choice meant 40 what they couldn’t help regretting.

Only 41 decision could offer more chances for sightseeing and 42 possible regret.Life is 43 like this——choices often occur that one has to make, for example, between two 44 jobs, two fascinating wooers(追求者).

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AAbout nine million people like rock climbing in America. Millions more take part in the activity around the world. Some do it just for fun. Others compete.Climbing takes strength, control and good balance. Climbers have to pull themselves straight up the face of very high rocks or walls. So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight. And climbers sometimes have to hold onto rocks by only their fingers or toes.There are several kinds of rock climbing. Traditional rock climbing is done outside. Climbers wear ropes and tie equipment to the rocks as they climb many hundreds of meters up. They also connect their ropes to the equipment. If a climber slips, a rope can stop him from falling.Sport climbing is similar. However, in it the protective equipment is placed in the rock all the time. There is also indoor climbing. Rock walls made of wood have places for the climber’s hands and feet.Ice climbing is exactly as it sounds. People climb glaciers or frozen waterfalls instead of rocks. They use special equipment for the ice.And then there is bouldering-climbing rocks (巨石攀岩) between three and seven meters high. It is quicker and stronger climbing. Many climbers like bouldering because they can use less equipment. Climbers often need only special shoes and chalk (防滑粉). All climbers use chalk to keep their hands dry.Most rocks have cracks and holes and parts that stick out. Climbers use these for foot-holds and handholds. Climbers use their legs to climb. They try not to pull themselves up with their hands or arms. Arms and hands are for position and balance.People almost always climb in groups of two or more. Climbing alone is very dangerous. Expert rock climbers say only the very best in the sport should do it.56. The writer mentions the numbers in Paragraph 1 in order to show that _________.A. people do rock climbing just for funB. rock climbing is popular around the worldC. people around the world like the same thingD. Americans like all sports57. We can learn for the Paragraph 2 that________.A. a person must take some food for rock climbingB. rock climbing is more dangerous than people thinkC. rock climbing takes place outsideD. rock climbing is not for everyone58. What’s the feature of tradit ional rock climbing?A. It is very safe.B. It is done alone.C. It is done outside.D. It needs no equipment.59. According to the passage, people like bouldering because______.A. it is simpler than other kindsB. they can try special equipmentC. they only have to climb several meters highD. they can do it indoors60. Which of the following is TRUE about rock climbing?A. Climbers use their hands or arms to climb.B. Climbers use no special equipment for ice climbing.C. Climbers do rock climbing in groups.D. Climbers do rock climbing without ropes.BI was a medical student. To gather data for my paper, I started visiting patients at Dr Sardjito Hospital, where I would review the medical records of patients and then interview them.One evening, I was in a ward(病房), desperately “hunting” for the final three patients I needed to complete my study. Holding a patient questionnaire, I walked towards a room. A patient called Ms A was lying in bed, clearly still weak. There were no relatives or friends with her. Even the bed beside her was empty. I sat down on a chair next to her bed, and in a low voice I introduced myself and asked if I could gather some additional information from her. She agreed. After I finished, I prepared to leave. Before I could stand up, Ms A said, “ I haven’t seen you here before, doctor. Are you new?” “Not really, Madam. It’s just that I don’t come here every day,” I replied. Ms A started talking about herself. She shared her difficulties and sufferings, talked about her husband, who was killed in a car accident, and that she struggled to earn money. All I did was nod my head as a way of showing my sympathy.Without realizing it, I had begun holding Ms A’s hand. Finally, Ms A stopped talking. “I’m very sorry for keeping you here to listen to my problem, but I feel relieved now. I had no one to pour out my problems to.” Tears fell from the corner of her eyes. Finally, I knew what to say. “It’s OK, Madam. It’s part of my duty.”I stood up and waved goodbye. A few days later, when I returned to the ward, I discovered Ms A had left the hospital as her condition had improved.Ms A taught me the most important lessons a doctor can learn. Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine. They just need someone with the patience and willingness to lend an ear and spare a little of their time.61. Why did the author interview the patients at Dr Sardjito Hospital?A. Because it was the duty as a medical student.B. Because she needed medical information for her paper.C. Because she was going to get a good position there soon.D. Because she wanted to learn about the suffering of patients.62. From Paragraph 2 we can infer that Ms A was feeling________.A. relaxedB. annoyedC. nervousD. lonely63. What do we know about Ms A from the passage?A. She had lost her husband and kidsB. She got hurt in a traffic accidentC. she was living in a hard conditionD. she didn’t get on well with oth ers64. Ms A tended to think that _________.A. the author was kind and patient enough to share her sufferingsB. other doctors treated her in a cold wayC. she shouldn’t talk about her difficulties to doctorsD. doctors ought to learn how to cure her psychological (精神上的)problems65. What conclusion did the author draw after interviewing Ms A?A. A doctor must learn how to treat each patient equally.B. Her psychological treatment made Ms A recover quickly.C. Listening is sometimes the best thing a doctor can do for a patient.D. It is the doctors’ duty to receive whatever patients say.Part Four Writing(25 marks)Section A （10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.When I was younger, I thought that boys and grown men should not cry.The tears were signs of being weak and a sissy(胆小鬼), which a man isnot supposed to be. This was even strengthened in my young mind when thesong, Boys Don't Cry, came out in the early 1980s.But just this June, I discovered that courage is not all about tryingto keep all the pain inside in check. Courage is not all about trying to hide the tears. It is the opposite —the tears strengthen the heart's courage. And I saw thisin my father. That day my father cried.My 18-year-old sister eloped (私奔) and from it I saw how weak my father's heart was. My sister and I were used to seeing him as an iron-willed figure and authoritarian father.For three days after my sister eloped, he would not talk. He would just sit quietly outside our house in the dark. On the fourth night, I sat beside him and asked him to tell me what he felt about everything.It has been years since I have laid my hand on my father's shoulder as we have drifted apart (疏远) farther and farther while I was growing up. That night，though, I sensed my father trying to control his pain and I wanted him to be able to let it out. We have all cried over what happened except him. All of us except him.The simple touch and my words, “Dad, it is not your fault.” broke my father's dam. In the darkness, he began to cry. I felt his shoulders shaking as he whispered, "Where did I go wrong? All I ever wanted was for my children to grow up right. Why couldn't your sister wait?"I understood then why he preferred to be in the dark. By being there, he hoped to spare his family of a father's pain. His tears, though we did not see them before that night, were there all the same. I saw his courage, that night when my father cried with my hand on his shoulder, and understood his pain.66.
