11.When I was in seventh grade,I was a candy striper (護(hù)士助手) at a local hospital in my town.I volunteered about 30to 40hours a week during the summer.
Most of the time I spent there was with Mr.Gillespie.He never has any visitors,and nobody seemed to care about his condition.I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him,helping with anything that needed to be done.He became a close friend of mine,even though he responded with only an occasional squeeze (緊握) of my hand.Mr.Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷).
I left for a week for a vacation with my parents,and when I came back,Mr.Gillespie was gone.I didn't have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was,for fear they might tell me he had died.So with many questions unanswered,I continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year.
Several years later,when I was a junior in high school,I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face.When I realized who it was,my eyes filled with tears.He was alive!I got up the nerve to ask him if he was Mr.Gillespie,and if he had been in a coma about five years ago.With an uncertain look on his face,he replied yes.I explained how I knew him,and that I had spent many hours talking to him in the hospital.His eyes welled up with tears,and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received.
He began to tell me how,as he lay there comatose (昏睡的),he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time.He thought it was an angel,who was there with him.Mr.Gillespie firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive.Then he told me about his life.We exchanged a hug,said our good-byes and went our separate ways.
Although I haven't seen him since,he fills my heart with joy every day.I know that I made a difference between his life and his death.As importantly,he has made a great difference in my life.I will never forget him and what he did for me:He made me an angel.

1.Australia is known as the"lucky country"with its sunny zones,beautiful beaches and relaxed lifestyle.But did you know that it is also a"happy"country,at least according to well-being measures?
In fact,Australia scores above average in almost all of the 11well-being dimensions measured by the OECD Better Life Index.It does exceptionally well on the environment and health.Australians breathe some of the cleanest air,with far less of the tiny particulate matter that gets into the deepest part of the lungs than in many other countries-a PM10level of only 13.1micrograms per cubic metre,as opposed to the average of 20.1micrograms for the OECD.They can expect to live up to 82 years of age,compared with an average of 80years in the OECD.And as well as being healthy,they score highly on civic engagement,thanks largely to the compulsory voting system:93% of Australians turned out to vote in the most recent general elections,the highest percentage in the OECD.
Australia's regions are also happy.In fact,according to the OECD's new Regional Well-Being,all eight Australian states rank among the best 20% of all 362regions studied around the world in civic engagement,environment and income.And Canberra,the Capital Territory,ranks first in Australia,beating the other regions in six of the nine well-being dimensions.Even the low-performing regions still fare better than the OECD average in most of the well-being indicators.
But it is not a perfect score sheet.There is wide inequality between the Australian regions,especially in health and safety where the country ranks fourth and fifth worst in terms of disparities.Education is also a problem in some regions,as the share of workers with at least a secondary diploma living in the lowest performing Australian regions is 8percentage points lower than the OECD average.
Perhaps the most surprising result of all is Australia's low score in work-life balance.More than 14% of Australian employees work for more than 50 hours per week,much more than the OECD average of almost 9%.This hardly squares with the country's reputation for an easy and leisurely lifestyle,a fact that has been picked up by the Australian users of the Better Life Index,ranking work-life balance as the most important factor for a better life.

58.According to the passage,the author most likely agrees thatD.
A.Australians vote out of consciousness of civil rights
B.Australia is a paradise in the world free from smog
C.Australia is a country poor in safety and education
D.Australians'long life mainly relies on environment
59.What does the underlined phrase square with (in Para 5)most likely mean?C
A.collide with        
B.submit to       
C.correspond with       
D.consist in
60.What would be the best title for the text?A
A.Australia:The Happy Country     
B.Australia:The Surprising Country
C.Australia:The Lucky Country       
D.Australia:The Unequal Country.

2.When we analyze the salt salinity (鹽濃度) of ocean waters,we find that it varies only slightly from place to place.Nevertheless,some of these small changes are important.There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity.One of these is the subtraction (減少) of water from the ocean by means of evaporation (蒸發(fā)).In this manner,the salinity is increased,since the salt stays behind.If this is carried to the extreme,of course,white salt would be left behind; this,by the way,is how much of the table salt we use is actually obtained.
The opposite of evaporation is precipitation,such as rain,by which water is added to the ocean.Here the ocean is being diluted (稀釋) so that the salinity is decreased.This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean.Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation,or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation.
Normally,in hot regions where the sun is very strong,the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation.Similarly,in coastal regions where rivers dilute the sea,salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas.
A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of sea ice.When seawater is frozen,the dissolved materials are left behind.In this manner,seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared.Of course,when this ice melts,it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water.
In the Weddell Sea,the densest water in the ocean is formed as a result of this freezing process,which increases the salinity of cold water.This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portion of the oceans of the world.
60.This passage mainly tells us aboutB.
A.the analysis of the salinity of ocean waters
B.the causes of the variation in oceanic salinity
C.the importance of the changes in oceanic salinity
D.the different forms of salts in ocean waters
61.It can be known from the passage that increase in the salinity of ocean water is caused byC.
A.melting of sea ice                  
B.precipitation   
C.evaporation                     
D.supplement of salt
62.Which of the following is not the cause of the decrease in the oceanic salinity?C
A.Precipitation.
B.Rain and snow.
C.Formation of ice.
D.Addition of water by rivers.

6.One of the most famous English writers was a woman called Jane Austen who lived in the late 18th century.At that time,English women from educated,middle-class families did not work.Instead  they stayed at home to do things like organizing the house,sewing,reading books and writing letters.
Jane Austen was an unusual woman because she was determined to be a writer.She wanted to write about the ordinary lives of young women like herself--their hopes,dreams and problems.She finished her first novel when she was only 20.By the time she was 24.she had finished two more.
Jane's only problem was that no one wanted to publish her novels.Her father sent one to a publisher,but he refused to look at it.He did not think anyone would want to read about women's lives.For fourteen years,Jane's work remained unpublished.
Finally Jane chose one of her novels and paid to have it published herself.To the publisher's surprise,every one of her books was sold.The publisher realized women's stories were interesting and agreed to publish all her other novels.
Jane Austen completed six books altogether and all of them are still being read today.In the last few years,several of her novels have been made into films,including Sense and Sensibility the novel which she had to publish by herself.
During Jane's lifetime,some people looked down upon her novels.They said no one would want to read about women and women's lives.They believed men's lives were much more important and interesting.Now we know they were very wrong.

32.What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A
A.Jane's novels couldn't get published.
B.Jane's father helped her with her writing.
C.Jane's novels were written too badly.
D.Jane's novels were not worth publishing.
33.English women from middle-class families in the 1700s wouldn'tC.
A.read novels
B.make the house clean and beautiful
C.make money
D.sew
34.Why was Jane Austen a special woman?B
A.Because she did not do any housework.
B.Because she decided to work as a writer.
C.Because she received very good education.
D.Because she was good at writing novels.
35.How was Jane Austen's first novel published?D
A.She had it published for free.
B.She had it published with a publisher's help.
C.She had it published with her father's help.
D.She had it published using her own money.

1.The new year brought new desks for students at Vallecito Elementary School,in San Rafael,California.The last three of the school's 22 classrooms switched from seated desks to standing desks."It's now the first all-standing school,"Juliet Starrett told TFK.She started the group Stand Up Kids.Her goal is to have every U.S.public school kid using a standing desk within the next10years.
Starrett's daughters-Georgia,10,and Caroline,7-attend Vallecito.They are thrilled with their desks."You feel happier,you're less tired,and you're more active,"Georgia says.
Some of the desks have wheels and fidget bars.The bars let kids move in a way that doesn't disturb the class.Wheels allow the desks to be moved easily.The desks also adjust to different heights.Kids take breaks by sitting on the floor or on stools.
There is the trend of designing things to make them easy and safe to use.According to Mark Benden,director of the Texas A&M Center,standing workers are more focused and healthier.He says his research shows that kids using standing desks are more engaged and burn more calories.In December,researchers in New Zealand,Australia,and the United Kingdom released similar findings.But not everyone is convinced standing is better than sitting.Some parents and teachers worry that kids will get tired and that standing for long periods of time may be harmful.And standing desks are more expensive.
Benden says both sitting and standing desks can cause problems if they are not the proper height."Our message should not be‘Sit less,stand more,'"he says,"but‘Sit less,move more.'"

51.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?C
A.Why standing desks are used.
B.Where standing desks are used.
C.How standing desks are used.
D.Who uses standing desks.
52.Mark Benden's research shows that kids using standing desksB.
A.feel more tired
B.a(chǎn)re more focused
C.get better scores
D.tend to eat more
53.Some parents and teachers worry that using standing desks mayC.
A.disturb the kids in class
B.leave the classroom noisy
C.harm the students'health
D.increase the teachers'workload.
