After the band played an introduction, Wesla Whitfield wheeled herself onstage in a wheelchair. As she sang, Whitfields voice was so powerful and soutlhfualt everyone in the room forgot the wheelchairwas even there.At 57, Whitfield is small and pretty, witty and humble, persistent and philosophical. Raised in California, Whitfield began performing in public at age 18, when she took a job as a singing waitress at a pizza parlor. After studying classical music in college, she moved to San Francisco and went on to sing with the San Francisco Opera Chorus.Walking home from a party at age 29, she was caught in a random （偶然的 ） shooting that left her paralyzed （ 瘫痪 ） from the waist down. I asked how she dealt with the realization that shed never walk again, and shaedmitted that initially she didnt want to face it. After a yearof depression （沮丧 ） she tried to kill herself. She was then admitted to a hospital for treatment,where she was able to recover.Whitfield said she came to understand that the only thing she had lost in this misfortunate eve nt was the ability to walk. She still possessed her most valuable thi ng - her mind. Pointing to her head, she said, verythingEmportant is in here. The only real disability in life is losing your mind. ” When I asked if she was angry about what she had lost, she admitted to being disappo in ted occasi on ally, “ especiallywhe n everybody dancing, because I love to dance.

To deal with this problem, it is recomme nded that a big part of the gover nment be used for health educatio n and disease preve nti on in stead of treatme nt. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts gett ing cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spe nd money see ing a doctor.Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from beco ming ban krupt if the patie nts had take n measures for early preve ntio n. For in sta nee, keep ing a bala need diet, such as not consuming too much ani mal fat and in suri ng a steady in take of vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite importa nt.One very effective and costless way of preve nti on is regular exercise, which is n ecessary for ahealthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walk ing, and play ing sports is a good way to make people feel better and reduce stress.In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people s health. By giving people more in formati on about health, coun tries could help people un dersta nd the importa nee of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy .In formati on about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.However, stress ing disease preve nti on does not mea n medical treatme nt is uni mporta nt. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health preve nti on and educati on.35. What s the best title of the passage?A. Preve nti on or Educati onB. Preve nti on or Treatme ntC. Health or Ill nessD. Exercise or Ill ness36. Which of the following can replace the underlined word“ bankrupt ”？A. Un able to be cured.B. Stron ger tha n ever before.C. Un able to pay one s debts. D. More successful tha n ever before.37. We lear n from the passage that.A. the more health educati on, the betterB. dress ing warmly can preve nt diseaseC. a bala need diet is cheaper tha n regular exerciseD. the gover nment s health budget should be in creased38. Which of the follow ing shows the structure of the passage?（CP - Cen tral Poi ntP - pointSp - Sub - point 次要点C - Con clusi on）Forks trace their origi ns back to the ancient Greeks. Forks at that time were fairly large with two tines （叉）that aided in the cutting of meat in the kitchen. The tines prevented meat from twisting or moving during cutting and allowed food to slide off more easily than it would with a kn ife.By the 7th century A.D., royal courts of the Middle East began to use forks at the table fordining. From the 10th through the 13th centuries, forks were fairly common among the wealthy in Byzantium. In the 11th century, a Byzantine wife brought forks to Italy; however, they were not widely adopted there until the 16th century. Then in 1533, forks were brought from Italy to France. The French were also slow to accept forks, for using them was thought to be awkward.In 1608, forks were brought to England by Thomas Coryate, who saw them during his travels in Italy. The English first ridiculed （ 嘲笑 ） forks as being unnecessary. “ Why should a person need a fork when God had given him hands? ” they asked. Slowly, however, forks came to be adopted by the wealthy as a symbol of their social status. They were prized possessions made of expensive materials intended to impress guests. By the mid 1600s, eating with forks was considered fashionable among the wealthy British.Early table forks were modeled after kitchen forks, but small pieces of food often fell through the two tines or slipped off easily. In late 17th century France, larger forks with four curved tines were developed. The additional tines made diners less likely to drop food, and the curved tines served as a scoop （勺 ） so people did not have to constantly switch to a spoon while eating. By the early 19th century, four-tined forks had also been developed in Germany and England and slowly began to spread to America.39. What is the passage mainly about?A. The different designs of forks.B. The spread of fork-aided cooking.C. The history of using forks for dining.D. The development of fork-related table manners.40.

Wealthy British considered dining with forks a sign of social status.42. Why were forks made into a curved shape?A. They could be used to scoop food as well.B. They looked more fashionable in this way.C. They were designed in this way for export to the US.D. They ensured the meat would not twist while being cut.Tough new rules for pubs and clubs - including a ban on drinking games like the infamous dentist s c-hawirill b”e introduced in Britain thisyear in a bid to prevent the heavy drinkingculture that costs the country billions of pounds a year.Other promotions like “ allyou can drink for 10 pounds ”s,peed drinking competitions and “ women drink free ” nights will also be forbidden.But on the other hand, a large amount of offers of cheap alcohol in supermarkets - widely drinking - will not be affected.regarded as one of the main sources of Britains prob-laegmesawnidtheuxncedsesrive（ 过度的 ）Doctors and health experts argue that the government has failed to use its most effective weapon, the taxation of minimum price controls on alcohol.Home Secretary Alan Johnson said he did not want to target responsible drinkers on low incomes, but that the government and the industry had a duty to act on heavy drinking.“ Thesepractices have a real impact on society, not to mention the lives of those who just want to enjoy a good night out.” he said.The “ dentist s chair ”dri,nwksheare poured directly into the mouth by others, was made famous by the celebrations of footballer Paul Gascoigne. That game and others that promote mass consumption （ 消费 ） will be banned from April and publicans （ 酒店老板 ） will have to ensure free tap water is made available to the drinkers.A second set of rules enforcing compulsory ID checks and making sure smaller alcoholic measures are on sale will come into effect in October.The government says excessive drinking costs Britain up to 12 billion pounds a year and has announced that any pubs that go against the new rule will face severe punishment.Publicans and vendors （ 小贩 ） could lose their licenses, be fined up to 20,000 pounds or face six months in prison.43.

He called the move “ animportant step that we hope you will see as an investment （投资） in The Times, one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform.”Sulzberger said that readers will be able to read 20 articles per month at no charge. Once they click on the 21st piece, however, they blle presented with three payment options: $15 for four weeks of online and mobile application access, $20 for access to the site and the iPad application, or $35 for access to everything. People who already receive the printed paper through home delivery will enjoy free and unlimited access to the Times on all platforms.These details largely agree with earlier reports on how the paywall would work. The Times had made it clear that it did not want to imitate the total paywalls put into effect by papers such as The Times of London and Newsday, which block access to all contents unless the reader pays.The paper also signaled that it wants to stay relevant （ 相关联的 ） in the social media world. According to Sulzberger annsouncement, people who come to the Times site from Facebook, Twitter or from blogs will be able to read those articles even if they have gone over their monthly limit.However, Sulzberger said that a limit will be placed on“some search engines”, meaning thafter readers have accessed a certain number of articles from search engines, any further articles they access from there will be added to their monthly count. It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google, where there will be a five-article limit. This marks a clear attempt by the Times to close what could be a giant loophole （ 漏洞）, since so much online traffic is directed through Google. But it also presents a risk for the paper for the same reason.Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk. “The challenge now is to put a price on our work without walling ourselves off from the global network, ”he said, adding that the Times must “ continue to engage with the widest possible audience.”47. The author s main purpose in the text is to .A. describe research findingsB. make advertiseme ntsC. report a piece of n ewsD. suggest a solutio n48. Why will the Times charge their on li ne readers?A. It n eeds a way to offer better service to its readers.B. It wants to stay releva nt in the social media world.C. It has too many readers coming from the other sites.D. It is seek ing new finan cial sources for its developme nt.49. Who will be limited to the New York Times articles?A. Those subscrib ing to the prin ted n ewspapers.B. Readers clicki ng through from Facebook.C. Those using Google research engine.D. Readers pay ing $35 a mon th.50. What challe nge may the paywall bring to the New York Times?A. It may bring the Times more competition with the other media.B. It may stop the Times connecting to the global network.C. It may result in huge drops in papers oniine readership.D. It may block the readers from the other websites.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）W: Excuse me. 51M: The Public Library?
