I asked doubtfully．"Yes．" the woman said 39 and lowered her head．But when it came to the 40 of their problems, things got alittle strange．Two of the children had headaches, 41 weren'taccompanied by the normal symptoms of being ill．Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was 42 ．The mother complained of a 43 hut seemed to work to produce it．"It may be a little while 44 a doctor sees you．" I explained．"Take your time; it's warm here．" She 45 ．While they were waiting, I checked the chart．They had no 46 -they were homeless．The waiting room was warm．I looked out at the 47 by the Christmas tree．The youngest one was saying 48 to her mother．The oldest one was looking at the Christmas tree．I went back to the nurses' station and 49 the homeless family in die waiting room．The nurses, complaining about the working Christmas, began to feel pity for a family just trying to get 50 on Christmas．The team went into action, as we do when there's a 51 emergency, but this was a Christmas emergency．We 52 a simple dinner for our Christmas guests in the hospital cafeteria．They needed 53 , so we collected from different departments candies and other things 54 that could be presents．As the family walked to the door to leave, the four-year-old came running 55 , gave me a hug and whispered, "Thanks for being our angel today．"36．A．on business B．on holiday C．on duty D．on purpose37．A．desk B．book C．computer D．chair38．A．cold B．well C．sick D．poor39．A．highly B．secrecy C．happily D．weakly 40．A．treatments B．descriptions C．suggestions D．solutions41．A．or B．but C．and D．thus42．A．controlled B．reflected C．attacked D．affected43．A．break B．trouble C．mistake D．cough44．A．before B．after C．until D．unless45．A．hesitated B．announced C．responded D．regretted46．A．identity B．address C．money D．problem47．A．nurses B．doctors C．patients D．family 48．A．something B．nothing C．everything D．anything 49．A．informed B．mentioned C．rejected D．criticized50．A．relaxed B．busy C．free D．warm51．A．mental B．physical C．medical D．vital52．A．shared B．enjoyed C．prepared D．delivered 53．A．medicine B．courage C．houses D．presents54．A．cheap B．available C．healthy D．convenient 55．A．forward B．back C．around D．away第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）AI was going to die in Antarctica, I was certain．An image of my frost-covered body, pale and lifeless, filled my mind as I glanced around．In all directions the empty wilderness of Antarctica stretched away from me, the only feature on the landscape was the division between snow and sky．I gazed sadly at my team．They were rapidly disappearing over the horizon．I was leading an expedition （探险）attempting to reach the south pole．The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world-from Jamaica, India, Singapore and Cyprus-many of whom had never seen snow, or spent a night in a tent, before we set off．Our aim was to be the most international all-female team to reach die South Pole．As I watched, the rest of die team hat marched on, unaware that I was not with them．By the time I realized that my sledge was firmly trapped, the team were already a long way ahead of me．I called out to Era, my teammate," Era! Stop I"Getting no response I called again, but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind．Seconds passed．Nothing．I was gradually being left alone, completely defenseless against the low temperatures of Antarctica．My strength increased when I thought of a cold, lonely death．I pulled again my sledge, which moved a little．I removed the ice with my ski-pole and boot, desperately trying to break the sledge free．The sledge shot forward, knocking me off balance．I struggled to my feet and set off after the team．I caught up just as Reena, my teammate from India, looked behind her and noticed there was one person missing．She swung around on her skis．in shock and spotted me in the near distance．As we continued, my panic slowly faded．For the rest of the day．each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes．They were not going to risk losing me again．56．From the first paragraph we can safely infer that the author ．A disliked her teamB got seriously illC was in panicD lost her way57．What is special about the expedition team?A．They were all female．B- They were all professional．C．They made the longest expedition．D．They had been strictly trained．58．What made the author get her sledge out of the ice was ．A the shouts from her teammates B．her strong desire to liveC．the sudden change in wind direction D．the natural beauty ahead59．At last, each of the team members kept looking back ．A to avoid being attacked from behindB to make sure that none fell behindC to check the distance they had coveredD to keep a record of the route they took60．Which may be the best title of the passage?A．How to survive in Antarctic．B．A mysterious trip to the South Pole．C．A female expedition team．D．Being left behind in the snow．BYou're happy to let your best friend borrow your mountain bike, but would you be willing to loan it out to a total stranger if you could make some money off the arrangement?That's the idea behind peer-to-peer （P2P）renting, a new model conducted by sites such as eBay and Craigslist．Instead of selling an idle （闲置）thing, you loan it to people in your town, get paid a small rental fee and get it back when the borrower's done with it．In the past few years, almost a dozen websites have popped up piwmsing to connect lenders and borrowers．For instance, you can use GetAround to rent out your car or motorcycle, SnapGoods to rent out electronics and gadgets, ToolSpinner to rent electric drills and lawnmowers, Zaarly and Knb to rent out a little bit of everything else．Old as it may sound, P2P renting is more high-tech than before, with websites that avoid cash for credit cards．A user creates an online listing for the item she wants to rent out, choosing her own rental fee．When someone wants the item, he keeps it on an online calendar, and the two arrange a time and place for pickup．Each site operates a little differently, but all use technology to make renting easy, safe and relatively inexpensive．Why rent your stuff? You may not make a ton of money, but it is a good way to get some use, out of idle things．The people who rent those goods are able to save thousands of dollars by renting instead of buying new．There may be other benefits．"It brings convenience, security and adventure," says All Hart, JustSharclt's spokesperson．"But, more important, we're really connecting people and building community, too．"Get to know your neighbors and make a few bucks in the process? Sounds like a good deal．61．The new model of peer-to-peer renting helps people ______.A．make better use of their idle things B．share ideas on the InternetC．keep up with high-tech trend D．earn tons of money in a special way 62．GetAround, SnapGoods, ToolSpinner, Zaarly and Krrb are all .A．the companies selling idle things B．the special people good at P2P rentingC．the websites for P2P renting D．the courses to teach people to do P2P renting 63．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A．How P2P renting works online．B．Why P2P renting should be encouraged．C．How credit cards are used in P2P renting．D．Where the lenders and borrowers meet．64．According to Ali Hart, the greatest benefit of P2P renting is .A．making a considerable sum of money B．saving money and protecting the environmentC．making the Internet convenient and safe D．keeping die people in the community connected 65．What might be the purpose of the passage?A．To teach people how to rent idle things．B．To encourage people to do P2P renting online．C．To explain why the Internet changes out life．D．To guide people to be fashion consumers．COn a recent trip to California, I stopped by Natural Bridges,where the monarch butterflies overwinter．Many years ago, I livedclose enough to it that I could walk there regularly and study theirgatherings-the most memorable experiences when living in California,This visit, however, turned out to be disappointing．Though theway to the protected monarch garden looked just as I remembered it, Ispotted only a few butterflies there．So I had to drive about a mile south to Lighthouse Field a more open area visited by large numbers of bikers, dog walkers and tourists．Many monarehs-at least several hundred - gathered in a small forest of pines there．Why had they moved to this less hospitable habitat-John Dayton, a biologist from San Jose provided an answer．During the 1990s, a deadly disease killed off most large pines sheltering the monarch habitats at Natural Bridges, forcing monarchs to seek shelter elsewhere．Still, since the mid-1990s, the number of overwintering monarchs in California has declined by nearly 90 percent．Butterfly populations at Santa Paula alone, for example, have dropped from about 120,000 to less than 1 ,000-the lowest figure intwo decades．In California, coastal development has reduced the area suitable for overwintering monarchs．Illegal logging, poorly regulated tourism and water withdrawals near the butterfly habitais are also endangering the butterflies．Throughout the butterflies' North American range, declines in milkweed plants-which monarchs need to reproduce-are also knocking down the insect's numbers．Chemicals are widely applied, wiping out the milkweed once growing in the agricultural land．Climate change may worsen the monarchs' situation．As atmospheric levels of CO2continue to rise, milkweeds are likely to produce fewer toxic compounds（有毒化合物）that protect both butterflies and caterpillars （幼虫）from their enemies．Milkweed leaves also may get tougher．Caterpillars will have a harder time chewing the leaves．66．Why did the author feel disappointed during his revisit to Natural Bridges?A．Because it had been overpopulated with Monarchs．B．Because the monarch's living habit was changed a lot．C．Because fewer monarch butterflies overwintered there．D．Because the people there were not so hospitable as before．67．Where did the author find those monarchs moved?A．Natural Bridges B．Lighthouse Field C．San Jose D．Santa Paula68．What caused a sharp decline of overwintering monarchs according to Para 3?A The loss of large pines．B A disease of monarchs．C Water pollutionD Too many caterpillars．69．According to the passage, the decline of the milkweeds is connected with ．A coastal developmentB illegal loggingC poorly regulated tourismD the abuse of chemicals 70．Which diagram shows correctly how the passage is developed? （P= paragraph）DThe Toyota Prius hybrids adapted by Google's engineers have covered 300,000 miles on the roads of California without a human at the wheel, but with only one accident by a human-controlled car．It's clear that driverless cars are much safer than human-controlled ones．40,000 people are killed every year in road accidents in the US, many of which are caused by human error．Besides, driverless vehicles could make better use of the road and reduce the size of car parks, too．With technology, a machine can perform a complex task without human involvement This means our thought about what machines can and cannot do needs updating urgently．However, ignore the beautiful words and think about what Google has done．This isn't just about care．Economists are increasingly puzzled by the fact that the rate of job-creation is much lower than expected and the length of time for which people are unemployed has rocketed to 40 weeks twice as long as that during any previous postwar recovery．Economic theory says that when companies begin to grow or become profitable again, they buy equipment and hire workers．But that isn't happening．Companies are still buying equipment, but they're not employing workers．So where did the jobs go? Andrew McAfee explains his view in his new book Race Against the Machine．" Advances in self-driving car by Google represent the next wave of job-eliminating technology．Many skills （such as driving）may eventually become worthless, at least in the job market．"And as for those thinking that driverless cars might appeal to most motorists, there is the uncomfortable fact that the car has peaked．We are driving less year on year．Traffic jams reduce the romance from driving．And young people no longer have the desire to own cars like they used to．71．According to the first paragraph, driverless vehicles are ______．A．faster B．lighter C．smaller D．safer72．The underlined word "updating" in the second paragraph means " "．A．abandoning B．renewing C．starting D．returning73．The third paragraph suggests that ______．A technology doesn't ease the pressure on employmentB companies gain profit by employing more workersC it takes people less time to find a job than beforeD people will see another economic recovery in future 74．What will be the influence of driverless cars according to Andrew McAfee?A The economic recovery is to be sped up．B Many companies may make higher profits.C Traditional skills will be improved．D More people may lose their jobs．75．The last paragraph tells us that the car industry ______．A will be given up by young peopleB is lo blame for traffic jamsC is reaching the highest pointD will expand in all directions第Ⅱ卷（共45分）第Ⅱ卷共2页，用0．5毫米黑色签字笔答在答题卡上。
