阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Should doctors ever lie to speed recovery? What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming for a physical examination just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in good health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months? If he asks, should the doctor say he isn’t ill or say he is only slightly ill without a danger of death?

Most doctors believe that the seriously ill do not want to know the truth about their conditions and that they lie for the patients’ own good. They follow the belief: “We do no harm to the patients as far as possible by telling lies.”

However, studies show most patients do want to be told truth, though very seriously ill. We are also learning that the truthful information helps patients fight against illness, even recover faster. If they get the untruthful information about their condition, they may even make a wrong decision that they don’t need treatment at all.

The patients and their relatives are more and more unsatisfied with the doctors’ lies. And the increasing doubts and the questions to doctors have appeared. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government or the social science can there be comfort in the old saying, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.”

21. In the writer’s opinion, for doctors it’s right to ________.

1. let out to everyone the truth about the patients

$来&源：B. tell the sick the truth to help them recover quickly

C. comfort the patients by telling lies

D. tell lies only for the patients’ own good

22. Most doctors believe that ________.

1. they lie for no reason B. everyone doesn’t want to know the truth

C. their lies do good to the patients D. the seriously ill needn’t to be told the truth

23. From the last paragraph, we know ________.

1. doctors should tell the truth B. knowing nothing about his illness is good

C. doctors should tell lies D. where there is a will, there is a way

B

Buster Brown was a thief and a good one，too，he thought. He’d never been caught by the police because he never took chances. He was always prepared for any unforeseen event or emergency.

Confidently，he stood outside the house of his intended victim and read the sign on the front gate of the house. “Don't worry about the dog—be aware of the owner!” it said．Buster smiled and found his way in．

The house looked quite normal outside，but inside it was very exotic with fascinating objects from different countries and areas．As he began putting them into his bag，a dog came into

the room．It stopped when it saw Buster，then wagged its tail madly and went over to him，licking his outstretched hand．"Good boy,” Buster whispered. “What a great guard dog you are—trying to lick me to death.”

Satisfied he'd made friends with the dog，Bluster began to wander round the house，choosing items to put in his bag．His skilled eye picked out only the best antiques(古董)：a pair of silver candleholders，a silver tea-and-coffee service，etc．His new friend，the dog，sat and watched，as if wondering what was happening．

“Well，boy，”Buster whispered，finally．“That might do．Any more and I won't be able to carry it!” He swung the heavy bag onto his shoulders, just as the lights came on, nearly blinding him. He shielded his eyes with his hand.

“You’re a very silly person,” the figure in the doorway said, his voice dry as dust. As the man came closer, Buster could see he was well dressed. His face seemed familiar, but Buster couldn’t quite place where he had seen him before.

“You should have taken more notice of the sign outside,” the man rasped. “I knew about this attempted robbery last week and I also know you will end up behind bars for 20 years. Fancy trying to rob the house of the world's greatest fortune-teller!”

24. Why was Buster so confident?

1. He was not afraid of dogs.

资*源%库B. He knew the owner of the house lived alone.

C. He had never been caught by the police.

D. The house had no security alarm.

25. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word"exotic" in the third paragraph?

1. Messy and untidy. B. Rich and expensive.

C. Comfortable and calming. D. Foreign and unusual.

26. What punishment waits for Buster Brown?

1. A prison sentence with hard labour. B. A long prison sentence.
   C. A heavy fine. D. Community service for 20 years.
   C
   Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it"automaticity (自动性)".
   A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase (短语). With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text. It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
   According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
   You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.
   27."Reading is the key to school success" means that reading __________.
   1. helps students go to a key school
   2. can improve students' learning results
   3. helps school develop faster
   4. is a key to a successful school

28. Children with"automaticity" can read faster because they __________.

1. know how to read the words
2. pay attention to the meaning of the text
3. read by themselves without any help
4. do not have to think while they are reading

29. Rossman tells that any child who __________ will possibly be an automatic reader.

1. spends an hour reading every day
2. reads books by the word quickly
3. turns off TV one night 4 weeks
4. gets the same marks as others in exams

30. The best title for the passage is __________.

1. IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity
2. TV Is Bad for Children's Reading
3. Automatic Reading Will Be Successful
4. Automaticity Depends on Practice

第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

请将下面的题目答案涂在答题卡71---75处

$来&源：If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? But 71 It never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity (创造力) gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, “Why can’t I think?”

72 Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading.

Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you. 73 Now this seed is unknowingly (未发觉地) used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!

This is nothing but creativity. 74 Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.

So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. 75 Go and get a book!

A. Now what are you waiting for?

B. Reading can help you make more friends, too.

C. Why not do some reading while you are hungry?

D. Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry.

E. Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.

F. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.

G. Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.
