When she was young, she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also travelled a great deal with her mother and father. As a child, she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them. At last, her mind was made up. “Im going to be a nurse,” she decided.“Nursing isnt the right work for a lady,” her father told her.“Then I will make it so,” she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for women. During the Crimean War in 1854, she went with a group of thirty-eight nurses to the front hospital. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurses went to work.Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicines and food for the men. Her only pay was the smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.After war, she returned to England and was honoured for her service by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries. Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honour nurses today.21. When she was a child, Florence . A. wrote a book on public health B. knew what her duty in life was C. loved to help the sick people D. was most interested in music and drawing22. During the Crimean War in 1854, Florence served in the front hospital where . A. she earned a lot of money B. work was very difficult C. few soldiers died because of her work D. she didnt have enough food and clothes23. Why was Florence honoured by Queen Victoria? A. Because she built the Nightingale Home for Nurses. B. Because of her old age. C. Because she worked as a nurse all her life. D. Because she did a great deal of work during the Crimean War.24. The passage can be best described as . A. the life story of a famous woman B. a description of the nursing work C. an example of successful education D. the history of nursing in EnglandBIt was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas. While most people were warming up in their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually did. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60 hours a week to support our family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone stole our bike so I wrote to the newspaper and told our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from work. It is really an honour that a complete stranger would go out of his way for someone he has never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more than so. This experience has had a spreading effect on our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. 25. Why was the bike so important to the couple? A. The mans job was bike racing. B. It was their only possession. C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. They used it for work and daily life.26. We can infer from the passage that . A. the couple worked 60 hours a week B. people were busy before Christmas C. the stranger brought back the bike D. life was hard for the family27. How did people get to know the couples problem? A. From radio broadcasts. B. From a newspaper. C. From TV news. D. From a stranger.28. What do the couple learn from their experience? A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. People should take care of their bikes. C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.C“When studying foreign speech, dont forget about body language,” Anne Merritt said.Something as simple as a smile can show friendliness in one culture, embarrassment in another, impatience in a third. Even silence means different things in different places. If you want to avoid making some mistakes when traveling abroad, you should pay attention to the following. TouchBritain, along with much of Northern Europe and the Far East, has a “non-contact” culture. In those countries, there is very little physical contact(接触) in peoples daily talks. Even brushing someones arm by accident is the reason for an apology. However, in the high-contact cultures of the Middle East, Latin America, and southern Europe, physical touch is a big part of daily life.Whats more, there are different standards for who touches whom and where. In much of the Arab world, men hold hands and kiss each other in greeting, but would never do the same with a woman. In Thailand and Laos, it is taboo(禁忌) to touch anyones head, even childrens. In South Korea, elders can touch younger people with force when trying to get through a crowd, but younger people cant do the same.Eye contactIn most Western countries, frequent eye contact is a sign of confidence and attentiveness(注意). We may think that a conversation partner who looks away is either not listening to us or lying. Of course, this is not the standard around the world.In many Asian, African, and Latin American countries, the unbroken(未间断的) eye contact would be considered impolite and rude. These cultures consider avoiding eye contact a sign of respect for bosses and elders. In these parts of the world, children wont look at an adult who is speaking to them, and nor will employees look at their bosses.29. In Britain, when people are talking, they usually .A. avoid eye contact B. brush the others arms C. avoid physical contact D. apologize for their mistakes 30. In southern Europe, physical touch is . A. unnecessary B. impolite C. dangerous D. common31. What should we avoid doing in Thailand?A. Touching a kids head. B. Touching someones arm. C. Shaking hands with children. D. Touching old people with force.32. What does this text mainly tell us? A. How to have a good time abroad. B. The importance of body language. C. How to communicate with foreigners. D. An introduction to some body language.D Feeling tired lately? Has a doctor said he cant find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you. Then, consider this: you might be in a state of subhealth.Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease. According to the study by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management position as well as students around exam time. Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, sleeplessness, anxiety, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs. The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternately work with rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities. As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and fish because they are rich in nutritional elements-vitamins and trace elements(微量元素) 一that are important to the body. Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.33. According to this passage, which of the following is right? A. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should be sent to a hospital. B. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should buy some medicine and quit your job. C. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself. D. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should have yourself examined in foreign countries. 34. Middle-aged people may feel subhealthy, because . A. they have used up their energy B. they have more pressure in life and work C. they eat less than others D. they begin to get older35. As for food, experts suggested that . A. we should never eat meat B. we should eat more meatC. we should have meals with less salt and sugarD. We should have meals without salt or sugar第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请将此题答案写在答题卷上根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Franklin Delano Roosevelt(罗斯福) was one of the most influential(有影响力的) presidents in American history. 36 He served more than 12 years.
