2.When people think of New York City,most of them probably picture the attractive lifestyles of the rich and famous or think of Broadway,Times Square and other tourist attractions.However,there is another side of New York City.The summer after tenth grade,I went with my group on a mission trip to New York City for a week.
       I had always known that poverty existed in major cities,but I had never seen it to a degree as high as we did there.We worked at several different locations with our small groups.One day,we served at a soup kitchen and what I saw astounded me.I couldn't believe my eyes.We saw people from all walks of life.We met people who came there because they had no job,no home and no money.
       Another day,we volunteered at a homeless shelter.We helped people there do some cleaning and spent time talking to them and listening to their stories.It was incredible to see how thankful they were to us for just spending a couple of hours talking to them.
        Every person we met on that trip had a unique story.Whatever their stories were,there was a common thread we saw in them--hope and thanks.These were people who had nothing and yet they were so hopeful about their futures and they were thanking us.
       My experience during that summer changed my life.I used to picture my future as containing a big house and a lot of money,but now I see my future as helping others.After college,I would really like to work for some sort of global aid organization that deals with the social issues,such as poverty and homelessness.

56.What do most people have in mirtd when thinking of New York city?(No more than 10 words)People/Tney think it has attractive lifestyles and tourist attractions
57.What does the underlined word"astounded"in Paragraph 2 mean?(1 word)Surprised./Astonished./Shocked./Startled.
58.What did the author discover in the people at the homeless shelter?(No more than 15 words)They were poor but very hopeful about their futures,and thankful/grateful to the helpers.
59.What kind of organizations does the author want to work for after college?(No more than 10 words)
A/A certain/Some global aid organization that deals with the social issues.
60.How does the author's experience inspire you?(No more than 20 words)He shows me how important it is to help other people and contribute to society..

分析 我去了美國旅行后才發(fā)現(xiàn)它并不是一個沒有貧窮的國家,很多人也需要幫助,從此我立志為一些全球援助組織工作,處理社會問題,

解答 56.People/Tney think it has attractive lifestyles and tourist attractions.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第一段When people think of New York City,most of them probably picture the attractive lifestyles of the rich and famous or think of Broadway,可知,當(dāng)人們想到紐約,他們中的大多數(shù)可能是富人和名人有吸引力的生活方式或百老匯,時(shí)代廣場和其他旅游景點(diǎn),故填People/Tney think it has attractive lifestyles and tourist attractions.
57.Surprised./Astonished./Shocked./Startled.詞義推斷題.由后文的We met people who came there because they had no job,no home and no money,可知我們遇見的人沒有工作,沒有家,沒有錢,因此很驚奇,故填Surprised./Astonished./Shocked./Startled
58.They were poor but very hopeful about their futures,and thankful/grateful to the helpers.由第三段It was incredible to see how thankful they were to us for just spending a couple of hours talking to them,可知令人難以置信的是他們感謝我們花幾個小時(shí)和他們說話,故填They were poor but very hopeful about their futures,and thankful/grateful to the helpers.
59.A/A certain/Some global aid organization that deals with the social issues.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由最后一段After college,I would really like to work for some sort of global aid organization that deals with the social issues,such as poverty and homelessness,大學(xué)之后,我真的很想為一些全球援助組織工作,處理社會問題,如貧困和無家可歸.故填A(yù)/A certain/Some global aid organization that deals with the social issues.
60.He shows me how important it is to help other people and contribute to society.自由發(fā)揮題.本題詢問考生對作者立志幫助他人的看法,言之有理即可,答案不唯一.

12.Given the tradition of students bringing apples to their teachers,it somehow seems fitting that an old apple barn(谷倉) will find a new life as a one-room schoolhouse.And it is just as fitting that a retired schoolteacher will become the caretaker of that historic treasure.
My friend Velma,a teacher for more than 30 years,has been retired for some time now,but that doesn't stop her giving history lessons at the old Englewood School,located on her family's California farm.The lovingly restored building was constructed around 1850 as a home for a woodsman and later was used as an apple barn.Then,in 1870 it began a new life as a schoolhouse.
Originally located in the nearby Englewood meadow,it was now moved its current site in 1978 by Velma's late husband and his brother,Robert and Richard,who thought it would help keep Velma busy in retirement.No nails had been used in the original construction,so each piece of wood had to be carefully marked and the building was reassembled(重裝) on its new site.The brothers worked with much care and hard work to ensure a perfect fit of mitered(斜接的) comers.After the relocation,Velma and her family furnished the school with some of its original desks.They also added a collection of schoolbooks,the oldest dating back to 1845.
Nowadays Velma gives tours to local schoolchildren and other groups,who learn what it was like to attend school back in the good old days.She has kids ring the school bell,recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing"Good Morning to You"as they might have done in days gone by.Then,with twinkling eyes and much enthusiasm,she tells the history of the school,and gives a short sample lesson.


33.What was the Englewood School used as before it began a new life in 1870?C
A.A lady's house.
B.A schoolhouse.
C.An apple barn.
D.A restroom.
34.Which word can best describe the school's being relocated?A
A.Challenging.
B.Refreshing.
C.Fashionable.
D.Inspiring.
35.Which can serve as the best title of the passage?D
A.The Good Old Days in the Schoolhouse
B.A Mysterious Building with a Long History
C.A Teacher Devoted to Restoring Old Buildings
D.A Historic One-room Schoolhouse.

14.Most people will experience at least one wrong medical diagnosis in their lifetime,resulting in health problems,psychological suffering and financial cost,according to a new report.Because diagnostic errors are generally discovered in retrospect (回顧),researchers said more work needs to be done to improve medical teams and find ways to avoid errors that can change people's life in the distant future.
"Diagnosis is a collective effort that often involves a team of health care professionals----from primary care physicians to nurses,''said John Ball,chair of the committee which wrote the report."The type of a single physician observing a patient case and deciding a diagnosis is not always accurate,and a diagnostic error is not always due to human errors.Therefore,to make it possible to reduce diagnostic errors,we have to look more broadly at the entire process of how a diagnosis is made."
   The researchers said there are not enough data on diagnostic errors,and efforts to improve diagnosis and reduce errors have not been frequent.The medical culture discourages transparency and makes it more difficult to correct them.The blame lies in cooperation and communication between members of medical teams treating patients,patients themselves,and their families.Besides this,researchers found the healthcare system is not designed for the collaboration needed in the diagnostic process and that diagnosis will continue to worsen if new ideas are not put forward.
    The committee recommended more information,from electronic health records to test results,be made more easily available to families and caregivers,to help them better learn and understand what is going on with their health.Creating an environment for patients to question a diagnosis or add information about their condition could also help better influence diagnosis.
    Most significantly,the researchers said methods need to be established to make communication between doctors and patients easier.Doctors currently are not encouraged or paid to communicate with patients as much as they should be.

46.It can be inferred from the new report thatA
A.diagnostic errors have a great influence on people
B.new ways are found to avoid diagnostic errors
C.nobody can avoid those diagnostic errors
D.diagnostic errors are difficult to be found
47.Why does the medical culture make the correction of diagnostic errors so difficult?D
A.For lack of advanced technological equipment.
B.For lack of strict rules of managing the medical environment.
C.For lack of enough professional knowledge about medicinal treatment.
D.For lack of cooperation and communication between physicians,patients and their families.
48.What does Para.4 mainly talk about?C
A.Researches on the diagnostic process
B.New ways to better protect patients
C.Advice on reducing diagnostic errors
D.Communication between patients and doctors
49.Why is communication between doctors and patients not much?B
A.Because of the different belief
B.Because of the medical situation
C.Because of being short of money
D.Because of the current rules
50.The passage most probably comes fromB.
A.a(chǎn) hospital advertisement
