London has Speaker's Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners. Just talk. Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, "Talk to Me," they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.They don't collect money. They don't push religion（宗教）. So what's the point?"To see what happens," said Liz. "We simply enjoy life with open communication（交流）."Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return."It started as a crazy idea," Liz said. "We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything."Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.Marcia had lost her husband to a serious disease. "That was very heavy on my mind," Marcia said. "To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good," she explained.To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something they say they'll consider.(1) What did Liz and Bill start doing after September 2001?A. Chatting with people.B. Setting up street signs.C.

Spend more time reading books.(5) How do they like the idea of writing a book?A. They have decided to wait a year or two.B. They will think about it carefully.C. They agreed immediately.D.

As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message. The statement read: "Mrs Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision（视觉模糊）ever since her medical test this morning." I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems.This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was substituting（用……替代）john's word for her medication Now Mrs Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes.My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She's probably just anxious, I thought. Still, she wouldn't have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone.What I next felt can only be described as delight. Be-fore I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs. Jones called Her vision is fine. Turns out she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let out a laugh. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why.Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had TAL#NBSP clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had clouded mine. Now I feel thankful that Mrs. Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our re-lationship. Patients come to me for my help. They pay me to listen, diagnose（诊断）treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too.(1) The writer smiled while reading the patient message because he knew.A. Mrs. Jones would ask for more testsB. the patient was being unreasonableC. the nurse was joking with himD. Mrs. Jones would call him(2) What has caused Mrs, Jones' eye problem?A. Wrong glasses.B. Medical checkup.C. Her own imagination.D. Chatting on the Internet.(3) The underlined words"clouded her judgment"in the last paragraph probablymean.A. made her less trustful toward the doctorB. put her in control of her own feelingsC. made her less able to think clearlyD. put her in a dangerous situation19、【来源】 2004年高考真题全国卷II（C篇）第64~67题8分It's not the flashiest car in the world. Not even close. But the 1971 Volkswagen named Helios can do something most cars can't: run on solar energy from the sun's light and heat!Joshua Bechtold, 14, and the other students at the Riverside School in Lyndonville, vermont, worked many months to get Helios ready for the 1999 American Tour de Sol（"Sol" is the Latin word for "sun"）. They named their car after Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology（神话）.The 4-year-old Tour de Sol encourages the use of "green", or environmentally friendly, cars to help reduce pollution and save energy. It's not a race. Cars are judged on fuel efficiency（耗油量）rather than speed. In the week long event, 44 cars took the 350-mile tour from Water- bury, Connecticut, to Lake George, New York. Of the 23 student cars, Helios was the only one built by middle school students.A teacher drove Helios, but the children talked with people wherever they stopped along the road. "That was my favorite part, "says Anna Browne, 15. "We explained how the car runs.”Due in part to old, inefficient batteries（电池）, Helios finished fourth-out of four in its kind, the sun-powered class. "We were there for the fun of it, "Anna says. "Were proud of Helios, "says Ariel Gleicher, 14. It's a car that's good for the environment.(1) What is special about the car Helios in the text?A. It was built by middle school students.B. It has an attractive design.C. It was made in 1971.D. It won the fourth prize.(2) How many sun-powered cars took part in the race?A. 1.B. 4.C. 23.D. 44.(3) What would be the best title for the text?A. The Making of Helios.B. 1999 American Tour de Sol.C. Sun-powered Cars on the Road.D. Use of Green Cars in Connecticut.(4) The students felt proud of Helios because.A. it could run as far as 350 milesB. it was favored by many childrenC. it had high-quality batteriesD. it was driven by clean energy20、【来源】 2004年高考真题全国卷II（D篇）第68~72题10分The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7:30 pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely TAL#NBSP off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently Most of us would agree that 6:30-8:30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards:8:00pm or 8:30pm means possible dinner, but 9:30pm and any time thereafter means no food, eat beforehand, roll up late.But this is not always the case. If asked to a students' party at 6:30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares, Being the first to arrive looking eager is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6:30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group （late thirties）falls somewhere between the two but because we still think were young, were probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.The accepted custom at present is confusing（混乱的）, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element（成分）of surprise.(1) The underlined words "off their heads" probably mean.A. tiredB. crazyC. curiousD. hopeless(2) Jane and David's story is used to show that.A. party-goers usually get hungry at partiesB. party invitations can be confusingC. people should ask for food at partiesD. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull(3) For some young people, arriving on time for a students' party will probably beconsidered.A. very difficultB. particularly thoughtfulC. friendly and politeD. socially unacceptable(4) According to the writer, people in their late thirties.A. are likely to arrive late for a partyB. care little about the party timeC. haven't really grown up yetD. like surprises at parties(5) What is the general idea of the text?A. It's safe to arrive late just when food is served.B. It's wise to eat something before going to a party.C. It's important to follow social rules of party-going.D. It's necessary to read invitations carefully.21、【来源】 2004年高考真题全国卷II（E篇）第73~75题6分◆Annes will rock to the sound of a cancan dance this year when Moulin Rouge by the Australian director Baz Luhrmann opens the French film festival（电影节）in May.
