第一部分

一、阅读理解。

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon(外科医生) and part of it is taken out. Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling

pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when

he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new.

It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all its pain.

Long ago, operations had usually to be done while the sick man could feel

everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors

did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being

cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.

Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing

gas". Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties

to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace

Wells, noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas.

He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.

Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells

felt no pain at all. As he didn't know enou gh about laughing gas, he gave a man

less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being

pulled out.

Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died.

Wells never forgot this terrible event.

二、任务型阅读。

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

When you are in Hong Kong, you must be very careful in the meets because the traffic

drives on the left. It is different from that in other areas of China. If you are

the first time to come to Hong Kong, you must look to the right side and then the

left before you cross the street. If the traffic lights are red, the traffic must

stop. Then people on foot can cross the road carefully. But if the traffic lights

are green, the traffic can go, people on foot mustn’t cross.

When people go to or come from work in the morning and evening, the streets are

very busy.
