For years a leading Chinese specialist in respiratory (呼吸的) diseases, Zhong was well-known among his peers, but the outbreak of SARS turned him into a(n) (49) ________ name across the country.In early 2003, the deadly SARS epidemic was first reported in Asia, and then raged across China. When chlamydia (衣原体) was found in two patients, authorities thought it was the major cause. They suggested using antibiotics to treat similar cases. However, after doing his research for a month, Zhong proposed that chlamydia might not be the only cause of SARS. Under his guidance, an effective treatment method was discovered not long after, and Guangdong (50) ________ the lowest mortality rate and highest recovery rate for SARS in China. “Mr. Zhong showed us his relentless spirit in this incident,” said Zheng Jinping, deputy director of the research center for respiratory diseases in Guangzhou. “He is (51) ________, independent and open-minded.

They did it knowing the great risk of getting infected, but none of them quit in the face of the threat.” Neither did Zhong himself, who examined every patient (53) ________ to the center, even though his medical knowledge and first-hand experience made him well aware of the danger posed by SARS. At one point, the (54) ________ in the fight against the disease caught a fever after working for 38 hours continuously. Given Zhong’s critical role in the battle against SARS, had the news of his illness leaked out, it could have (55) ________ the confidence of the public in winning the battle.

She has been attending the tai chi classes for two years. She said the classes are the most peaceful part of her day. Petersen was homeless before she moved into housing downtown about two years ago.Bernie Hart, a 78-year-old retired machine shop owner, says he found tai chi to be a comforting way to relax, practice balance and control movement when he became anxious before skiing. He thought the exercise could help others find stability in their lives.Classes Give People Something to Look Forward ToPeople gather at the library an hour before the class begins, hugging friends and chatting about their week. The Harts arrived and told the group to (70) ________ out and stretch.David Christopher Coons, who is 54 years old, has been (71) ________ the classes for three years.

He has been homeless since then, sleeping in shelters or on the streets of Salt Lake City.

A. affordable B. perpetual C. predictable D. noticeableSection B( A )What are pillows really stuffed with? Not physically, but symbolically? The question occurred to me with the photos in the news and social media from the 50 cities around the world that staged public celebrations for International Pillow Fight Day. Armed with nothing more than bring-our-own sacrificial cushions, strangers struck heavily each other in playful feather from Amsterdam to Atlanta, Warsaw to Washington DC. But why? Is there anything more to this delightful celebration?As a cultural sign, the pillow is deceptively soft. Since at least the 16th Century, the humble pillow has been given unexpected meanings. The Chinese playwright Tang Xianzu tells a famous story about a wise man who meets a depressed young scholar at an inn and offers him a magic pillow filled with the most vivid dreams of a seemingly more fulfilling life. When the young man awakens to discover that his happy 50-year dream has in fact come and gone in the short space of an afternoon’s nap, our impression of the pillow’s power shifts from wonder to terror.Subsequent writers have likewise seized upon the pillow. When the 19th-Century English novelist Charlotte Brontë poetically observed “a ruffled (不平的) mind makes a restless pillow”, she didn’t just change the expected order of the adjectives and nouns, but instead she made unclear the boundaries between mind and matter – the thing resting and the thing rested upon.It’s a trick perhaps Brontë learned from the Renaissance philosopher Montaigne, who once insisted that “ignorance is the softest pillow on which a man can rest his head”. On Montaigne’s thinking, intelligence and happiness confront each other forever in a pillow fight that only one can win.With the words of Tang, Brontë, and Montaigne, we can perhaps more easily measure the attraction of the global pillow fight. Like a ritual of release, the annual international pillow fight amounts to a kind of cleansing, a brushing off of daily worries: an emptying of the world’s collective mind. Rather than a launch-pad for weightless rest, the pillow is a symbol of heavy thought: an anchor that drags the world’s soul down – one that must be lightened.74. The example of Tang Xianzu is used to illustrate that__________.A. pillows give people satisfactory dreamsB. dreams are always wonderful while the real world is cruelC. people’s impression of pillows change from wonder to terrorD. pillows symbolically conveys the meaning in contrast to their soft appearance75. Which of the following is TRUE about Charlotte Brontë according to the passage?A. She wrote poems about pillows.B. She regarded pillows as reflections of our minds.C. She shared the same viewpoint with Tang Xianzu on pillows.D. She was likely to have been influenced by the thoughts of Renaissance.76. The underlined sentence in the 4th paragraph “ignorance is the softest pillow on which a mancan rest his head” most probably means __________.A. pillows give us comfortsB. people can easily fall asleep when they know nothingC. pillows make people more intelligentD. people with too many thoughts have less inner peace77. According to the author, why is Pillow Fight Day so popular around the world?A. Because it is a ritual release.B. Because it makes life delightful.C. Because it comforts restless minds.D. Because it contains profound meaning of life.( B )Indian Heroes and Great ChieftainsThe book mainly presents us with the American Indian leaders of the past. It features many profiles and biographies including Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, Little Crow and Lozen Quanah etc. written by author Charles Eastman, and I’m sure you will be interested in it.Name: Sitting BullBirth: 1831Death: 12-15-1890He was a great hero and is respected by many American Indians. In a 1997 documentary—The Great Tribes, he was known as a holy man, a composer of songs and an artist. Under him,the Sioux and Cheyenne Nations unified. He was advised to go on a European tour in 1887,but he turned it down to defend these two nations from being separated again. He led his people during years of resistance to United States government policies and was killed by Indian agency police on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.Name: Crazy HorseBirth: 1842Death: 9-5-1877Crazy Horse was a legendary warrior and a gentle leader as well as a brave man who stoodfor the highest ideal of the Sioux, celebrated for his battle skills as well as his efforts to preserve Native American traditions and way of life. Resisting efforts to force the Sioux onto reservations, he fought alongside Sitting Bull and others in the American-Indian Wars. Charles Eastman described him in his book Indian Heroes as “a man of deeds and not of words”.Name: Red CloudBirth: 1822Death: 12-10-1909He was against the movement of the white settlers into the Black Hills. In 1868, he refusedto sign a treaty, which stated that the Black Hills didn’t belong to people. The treaty also stated that these areas couldn’t be entered without the government’s permission. Accordingto Eastman’s book Indian Heroes, he was said to have fought against the treaty, forcing the government to give in and pull out of the area.Name: Lozen QuanahBirth: late 1840sDeath: 1890Known as the youngest sister of Red Cloud, she devoted herself to the people. She was described in Peter Aleshire’s Warrior Woman as a heroine good at riding horses and using abow and arrow to drive attackers away.

The system can manipulate, or in other words, control your emotions and personal preferences by presenting you with an image of your own smiling or frowning face.The principle that physiological changes can drive emotional ones ─that laughter comes before happiness, rather than the other way around ─is a well-established idea.The researchers wanted to see if this idea could be used to build a computer system that manipulates how you feel. The system works by presenting the user with a web-camera image of his or her face ─as if they were looking in a mirror. The image is then subtly altered with software, turning the corners of the mouth up or down and changing the area around the eyes, so that the person appears to smile or frown.Without telling them the aim of the study, the team recruited 21 volunteers and asked them tosit in front of the screen while performing an unrelated task. When the task was completed，the participants rated how they felt. When the faces on screen appeared to smile, people reported that they felt happier. On the other hand, when the image was given a sad expression, they reported feeling less happy.Yoshida and his colleagues tested whether manipulating the volunteers’ emotional state would influence their preferences. Each person was given a scarf to wear and again presented with the altered webcam image. The volunteers that saw themselves smiling while wearing the scarf were more likely to report that they liked it, and those that saw themselves not smiling were less likely.“The system could be used to manipulate consumers’ impressions of products”, say the researchers. For example, mirrors in clothing-store fitting rooms could be replaced with screens showing altered reflections. They also suggest people may be more likely to find clothes attractive if they see themselves looking happy while trying them on.“It’s certainly an interesting area,” says Chris Creed at the University of Birmingham, UK. But he notes that using such technology in a shop would be harder than in the lab, because people will use a wide range of expressions. “Attempting to make slight differences to these and ensuring that the reflected image looks believable would be much more challenging,” he says.Of course, there are also important moral questions surrounding such subtly manipulative technology. “You could argue that if it makes people happy, what harm is it doing?”says Creed. “But I can imagine that many people may feel manipulated, uncomfortable and cheated if they found out.”82.What’s the main purpose of the Emotion Evoking System?A. To see whether one’s feeling can be unconsciously affected.B. To see whether one’s facial expressions can be altered.C. To see whether laughter comes before happiness.D. To replace the mirrors in future clothing-store fitting rooms.83.What can we learn about the web-camera image in the study?A. It recorded the volunteers’ performance in the task.B. It gave the volunteers a false image.C. It attempted to make the volunteers feel happier.D. It beautified the volunteers’ appearance in the mirror.84.What does Creed mention as a limitation of the technology?A. It only changes the areas around the mouth and the eyes.B. It only works in clothing stores.C. It only makes subtle changes to people’s expressions.D. It only deals with a limited number of facial expressions.85.What does Creed’s comment on the moral issues with this technology imply?A. Nothing is more important than happiness.B. Technology is unable to manipulate people.C. People should make their decisions independently.D. People should neglect the harm of the technology.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once.
