5．In a class I teach for adults，I recently did the"unpardonable．"I gave the class homework!
The assignment （任務(wù)） was to"go to someone you love（36）Dthe next week and tell them you love them．It（37）Ato be someone you have never（38）Bthose words to before or at least haven't shared those words with for a long time．"That doesn't（39）Dlike a very tough assignment，（40）Ayou stop to realize that most of the men  were over 35 and were（41）Cin the generation of men that were taught that expressing emotions is not"macho （男子漢氣概的）．"Showing feelings or crying （heaven forbid!） was just not done（42）Cthis was a very threatening assignment for some．
At the（43）Aof our next class，I asked if someone wanted to（444）Bwhat happened when they told someone they loved them．I fully expected one of the（45）Dto volunteer，as was usually the（46）A，but on this evening one of the men raised his hand．He appeared quite moved and a bit（47）B．As he unfolded out of his chair，he began by saying，"Dennis．I was quite（48）Cwith you last week when you gave us the assignment．I didn't feel that I had（49）Dto say those words to and（50）A，who were you to tell me to do something that personal？But as I began driving home my conscience （良知） started talking to me．It was telling me that I（51）Cexactly who I needed to say I love you to．You see，five years ago，my father and I had a heated（　　） 52Aand really never resolved it since that one．We（53）Cseeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings．But（54）Bthen，we hardly spoke to each other．So last．Tuesday（55）DI got home，I had convinced myself．I was going to tell my father I loved him．"

4．Bloodsucking bed bugs （臭蟲） have made a comeback in recent years．But as victims of affection have become increasingly desperate to rid their homes of the disturbing pests，many have only done themselves more harm．
Bed bugs do not transmit disease or cause illness-but the insecticides used to make them do．A total of 111illnesses associated with bed bug-related insecticides were reported in seven states between 2003and 2011，the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention （CDC） said on Thursday．Most cases of poisoning were not severe，but the data included one death．
That case involved a 65-year-old woman in North Carolina who died in 2011．After she complained to her husband about bed bugs，the CDC report said，he sprayed the inside of their home，including the baseboard，walls，and the area around the bed，with the insecticide Ortho Home Defense Max．He then applied a different product，Ortho Lawn and Garden Insect Killer，to their bedding．Neither insecticide is registered for use against bed bugs，the CDC said．That day，the couple also emptied nine cans of Hot Shot Fogger in their home．Two days later，they reapplied the insecticides and released nine more cans of Hot Shot Bedbug and Insect Killer．The woman then applied the insecticide Hot Shot Bedbug and Insect Killer directly to her arms and chest，and wet her hair with it before covering her head with a plastic cap．
Two days later，her husband found her．She was taken to the hospital where she remained on a ventilator （呼吸器） for nine days until she died．The woman had had a history of health problems，including kidney （腎） failure，heart disease，high blood pressure and，and depression，the CDC report said．She had been taking at least 10kinds of medicine at the time of her death．
Aside from the one reported death，most other cases of poisoning were mild．Commonly reported symptoms of exposure included headache and dizziness，breathing difficulties．

41．In paragraph one，"many have only done themselves more harm"，the author means thatD．
A．the bugs themselves are more harmful to the victims
B．there are more and more victims of bed bugs nowadays
C．more and more bed bugs have come back recently
D．what victims have done is more harmful to themselves
42．The underlined word"insecticide"in Paragraph 3meansB．
A．a(chǎn) kind of bed bug          B．a(chǎn) kind of insect killer
C．a(chǎn) serious illness          D．a(chǎn) plastic cap
43．Which of the following are the reasons for the woman's death？C
①The couple applied too many insecticides in their home．
②The woman sprayed insecticides not meant for use on humans．
③The woman had a history of health problems．
④Bed bugs transmitted diseases to the old woman．
A．①②③④B．①②C．①②③D．②③④
44．The symptoms of insecticide poisoning do NOT includeA．
A．kidney failure        B．dizziness
C．headache              D．difficulty in breathing
45．What can we infer from the passage？B
A．There were many deaths caused by the infection of bed bugs．
B．The insecticide the husband sprayed was not for use against bed bugs．
C．A large number of bed bugs were killed by the old couple．
D．Many illnesses related to bed bugs were reported in America．

3．No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world，but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million．The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada．
In the United Kingdom，about one in ten people have some disability．Disability is not just something that happens to other people．As we get older，many of us will become less mobile，hard of hearing or have failing eyesight．
Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life．Some people are born with disabilities．Many others become disabled as diey get older．There are many progressive disabling diseases．The longer time goes on，the worse they become．Some people are disabled in accidents．Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness．All are affected by people's attitude towards them．
Disabled people face many physical barriers．Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends，imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps，or on to buses and trains．How would you deal with if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic？But there are other barriers：prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance unavoidably re-presents by far the greatest barrier of all．It is almost impossible for the able 一 bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through，so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and
show that it is the individual person and their ability，not their disability，that counts．
72．The first paragraph points out that．B
A．Canada has more disabled people than India
B．there are many disabled people in the world
C．the number of disabled people in India is the greatest
D．it is possible to get an exact figure of the world，s disabled people
73．The key word in Paragraph 4 isA
A．barriers B．ignorance    C．disability   D．prejudice
74．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？B
A．About 10 percent of the people in the UK are disabled．
B．It is easy for people to avoid prejudice against the disabled．
C．Even the able-bodied may become disabled when they get older．
D．The whole society should pay attention to the difficulties of the disabled people
75．It can be concluded from the passage thatC
A．we should try our best to prevent disablement
B．mental barriers are easier to break down than physical ones
C．we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled
D．the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled．

2．Cut out part of a healthy person's liver and transplant it into a sick person--it sounds like a complicated and dangerous operation，not to mention very expensive．But it is sometimes the only possible cure for a seriously ill patient with liver disease．
Until now British scientists have just announced a new stem cell technique，which allows them to grow healthy liver cells outside human bodies．According to the researchers，it could be another five to 10 years before the technique can actually be used to help patients with liver disease．However，they say the method might one day replace liver transplants altogether．The study was led by the University of Cambridge and the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute，a British genomics and genetics research institute．It was published in the journal nature on October 12，2011．
The researchers took skin cells from a patient with a mutation （變異） in a gene called alphal-antitrypsin （a-l抗胰蛋白酶）．This gene makes a protein that protects our bodies against inflammation （炎癥）．People with changed or damaged alphal-antitrypsin are not able to release the protein correctly from the liver，so the protein is trapped there and eventually leads to liver cirrhosis （肝硬化）．
Scientists then used an advanced technique to cut away the faulty section of DNA from a stem cell and replace it with a corrected one，according to the journal．The stem cells went on to produce fresh and healthy liver cells with normal protein levels．Scientists put the new liver cells into mice and found that they worked very well．
Stem cells are the life source of all other cells in the body．They could transform medicine，providing treatment for blindness，spinal cord injuries and other serous injuries．They could also be used to produce new cells for damaged organs．
David Lomas，a Cambridge biology professor who worked on the team，said："If we can use a patient's own skins cells to produce liver cells that we can put back into the patient，we may prevent the future need for transplantation．"
71．what is the best title of this passage？D
A．How to transplant liver for patients      
B．A new way to transplant livers for patients 
C．The difficulty in curing liver patients       
D．New life for liver patients
72．The first paragraph is written toC．
A．show how difficult it is to cure liver disease 
B．tell us what a liver transplant involves   
C．introduce a potential cure for liver disease
D．show how serious liver disease can be
73．Why do some people get liver cirrhosis according to the article？C
A．Because their bodies are lacking in alphal-antitrypsin．
B．Because their skin cells are not able to protect against inflammation．
C．Because the alphal-antitrypsin in their bodies is changed or damaged．
D．Because their liver releases too high a level of protein．
74．According to British scientists，liver transplant mightA．
A．become history sooner or later
B．be replaced by a new stem cell technique in five years
C．be the only possible cure liver disease in the future
D．be prevented in the future
75．What can be inferred from the passage？D
A．Stem cells can keep liver cells healthy and fresh．
B．Equaling medicine，stem cells can cure blindness，spinal cord injuries and other serous injuries
C．Stem cells can replace the damaged organs．
D．All other cells in the body can't work well without stem cells．

1．James Cooke，of Islip，N．Y．，can't recognize other people．"I see eyes，nose，cheekbones，but no face，"he said．"I've even passed by my son and daughter without recognizing them．"
He is not the only one．Those with prosopagnosia，also known as face blindness，can see perfectly well，but their brains are unable to piece together the information needed to understand that a collection of features represents an individual's face．The condition is a neurological（神經(jīng)病學(xué)的）mystery，but new research has shed light on this strange disease．
Some scientists had believed that faces and voices，the two main ways people recognize one another，were processed separately by the brain．Indeed，a condition parallel to prosopagnosia，called phonagnosia，similarly leaves a person unable to distinguish a familiar voice from an unfamiliar one．But by testing for these two conditions at the same time，researchers at the Max Planck Institute recently found evidence that face and voice recognition may be linked in a unique person-recognition system．
The scientists observed the brain activity of 19healthy volunteers as they were led through tasks that tested their ability to recognize both faces and voices．The researchers found that regions of the brain，associated with facial recognition，are directly linked to regions responsible for voice recognition．
This research helps explain why a person with prosopagnosia may still have difficulty determining who a person is even after he has begun to speak．The challenge for scientists is to find out where this system breaks down．Are these connections in the brain missing entirely，or are people unable to recognize faces and voices simply unable to use these links in some way？
It is unclear how many people have these conditions．Many don't even realize they have problems with facial or voice recognition．While some develop these difficulties after a brain injury，others develop it in childhood．

71．James Cooke can't recognize other people becauseC．

D．he can't tell facial expressions
72．Which of the following is true of prosopagnosia？D
A．It is a common disease among adults．
B．It may cause damage to the brain．
C．It is always an inborn disease．
D．There has been no cure for it．
73．According to Paragraph 3，the underlined word"phon agnosia"may be known asA．
A．voice blindness  B．memory losses

74．According to the recently discovered evidence，C．
A．different regions of the brain have to work separately
B．people with phonagnosia are good at facial recognition
C．regions of the brain for personal recognition are connected
D．person recognition is controlled by the same part of the brain
75．What can we know from the last two paragraphs？C
A．The causes of the two diseases have been discovered recently．
B．The scientists are quite satisfied with the evidence and findings．
C．Some people have problems with both facial and voice recognition．
D．A lot of patients have been assisted medically and psychologically．

13．Three brothers，who worked for the same company，（41）received （ receive ） different wages due to their different attitudes towards their work，which shows right attitude is （42）ofgreat help to one's life．Their different attitudes towards their work result in their different wages．From the story I can conclude that those  （43）who take positive attitude towards work will （44）be rewarded（ reward）．Different attitudes lead to different results．Take Xiao Hua and Xiao Li for example．They are both my classmates．Not only does Xiao Hua put his heart  （45）into study but he is also helpful both to teachers and students．So he has become a top student in our class，even in the grade．With his diligence and （46）concentration （ concentrate），he is bound to succeed in （47）entering（enter） his ideal university．However，Xiao Li never cares about his study （48）andhe is addicted to playing games，he turns（49）adeaf ear to the teachers'advice．As a result，he falls far behind others in his study．In（50）myopinion，attitude is everything．No matter what you do，you must do it well even if you may fail many times．Sooner or later you will be rewarded for your positive attitude towards your work or life．
