A

It was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas, and as the newest doctor in our office, I had to work. The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating(约会)—a dozen long-stemmed red roses.

As I was cleaning my office, I was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me. As I stepped out, I noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms. Nervously, she explained that her husband—a prisoner in a nearby prison—was my next patient. She told me she wasn’t allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son. Her request was for me to let the boy’s father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment（约见）. Since my schedule wasn’t full, I agreed. After all, it was Christmas Eve.

A short time later, her husband arrived—with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as bodyguards. The woman’s tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her. I kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry and share their child. After almost an hour, I called the prisoner back to my office. The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man. I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions. I tried to make him as comfortable as possible.

At the end of the appointment, I wished him a Merry Christmas—a difficult

thing to say to a man headed back to prison. He smiled and thanked me. He also said he felt sad dened by the fact that he hadn’t been able to get his wife anything for Christmas. On hearing this, I was inspired with a wonderful idea.

I’ll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed roses. I’m no t sure who experienced the most joy—the husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment.

51.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?

B. She was at work with a light heart.

C. She was in low spirits because she had to work before Christmas.

D. having her baby examined

53.The underlined part in Paragraph 3 most probably means “ ”.

A. to be sent to hospital

B. to be separated from his family

C. to be comfortable

D. to become a prisoner

54. What does the writer learn from the story?

Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses. It’s an instinct which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we’re using resources within the unconscious（无意识的）mind. When the resources of two persons’ unconscious minds link together into the same frequency （频率）, we call it telepathy.

We can either send or receive telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better at sending. You can easily put your ability to the test. Thinking of somebody and wish him or her to contact（联系）you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings, try ‘feeling’ who is contacting you. Don’t guess, but try to feel it with your mind. However, if neither of these works for you, that doesn’t mean that you have no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.

Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other’s unconscious mind.

Telepathy & relationship. The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other’s mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the other’s mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child’s eagerly wanting his or her mother,

knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mother’s deep desire to protect her child from harm.

55. When does telepathy occur?

A. It occurs when one doesn’t know a stranger.

B. It occurs when one has very good five senses.

C. It occurs when one senses that a close friend of his/her is in danger.

D. It occurs when one wants to call his/her best friend.

56. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. One is better at sending than receiving telepathy if one receives a friend’s call as one

wishes.源网

B. The more people separate, the more likely that telepathy will occur.

C. Telepathy happens when people live far away and have no chance to see one another.

D. It is by using the five senses that telepathy occurs.资

57. Which of the following belongs to telepathy?

A. A couple’s long separation.

B. By accident, you are aware of a friend of yours is coming to see you.

C. People’s communication over the telephone.

58. Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage?

As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and

your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.

Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Getting material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.

Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs(郊区), leaving their two children with a nanny（保姆）. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by. Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.”

Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like,

though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”

59. What do the first two paragraphs tell us?

A. People seldom work long hours to make money.

B. People realize there is more to life than just making money.

C. People are sure everything they own is in the right place.

D. People hardly buy more things than necessary.

60. When Daniel was a reporter he .

A. lived in central London

B. was well paid

C. missed his children

D. disliked his job

61. Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm .

A. was easy to organize

B. has been a total success

C. was extremely expensive

D. has improved family life

62. The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph means .

A. repairing your car by yourself

B. moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life

C. spending money carefully

D. living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week

President Barack Obama set out his plans for the nation on January 27. At the top of his to-do list: his jobs for Americans, health care and education. “Although we have our difficulties, our union is strong. We do not give up.

We do not stop,” President Barack Obama told American in his State of the Union speech on January 27. Guests and government officials filled the hall of the House of Representatives (众议院).

Obama looked back on his first year in office and explained his plan for the future. He dealt with important matters, including health care, the nation’ s high unemployment, national security (安全) and education. Many times during the 70-minute speech, people in the hall clapped (拍手) their hands happily.

The U.S. law system requires the President to report regularly to government officials. Presidents see the speech as an opportunity to set their goals and encourage the nation.

The President devoted much of his speech to the plight of unemployed (失业的) Americans. “Jobs must be our Number 1 focus (焦点) in 2020,” he said. “People are out of work. They are hurting.” Obama also stressed the value of education. “The best way for people to lead a better life is a first-class education.” he told the nation.

Following the President’s speech, the other party always gets the chance to speak. Bob McDonnell, the new governor of Virginia, spoke for Republicans (共和党人). He agreed with many of Obama’s goals, but pointed out policy difference. He tried to persuade both parties to work together. The President had made the same point earlier in the evening. He promised to hold monthly meetings with members of both parties. “Let’s show the American people,” he said, “that we can do it together.”

It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that Obama’s speech on January

27 __________.

A. was actually boring

B. was given to ask for foreign help

C. was welcomed by the government officials present

D. was made to explain his plan for the future

The underlined word “plight” in Para. 5 probably means __________.

A. sadness

B. safety

C. goal

D. education Which of the following things does Obama consider the most important in 2020?

A. Health care.

B. Education.

C. Jobs.

D. National security.

We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.

A. Republicans don’ t agree with Obama’ s goals

B. Republicans thought it difficult for the two parties to work together

C. Bob McDonnell was not clear about the two parties’ policy differences

D. Obama will try to cooperate with the other party
