Women of her position in life were expected to get married and arrange all the domestic affairs. But Florence had a dream to bee a nurse. She traveled to hospitals all over Europe and saw that patients died because they did not get enough care. Florence felt women could do more to help take care of sick people. Nurses were not considered valuable in those days and the standards of hygiene（卫生） and medicine were very low in hospitals. Florence began to change all that. In every hospital she worked in she made sure everything was clean and that the patients were washed and well nourished.Florence had bee well known for the wonderful improvements she had made and for the way of training young women to be good nurses. When the British army was fighting in the Crimea against Russia, the soldiers were in desperate need of medical attention. Conditions were terrible with no water or medical equipment. Florence and her team went there for help. They organized a kitchen and a laundry and worked quite hard to improve conditions. At night she would carry a lamp as she went round the hospital and the soldiers started to call her “the lady with the lamp”. Florence and her team saved thousands of lives there.In 1860 Florence started the Nightingale Training School whose nurses were in demand all over the world. She advised the American President how to look after his soldiers injured in the Civil War. She was a guiding influence behind the founding of the International Red Cross. Due to overwork, she suffered from blindness in her last decade, but she still retained an interest in current affairs. She died at the age of 90 on August 10, 1910. Florence, who could have lived a life of luxury and fort, saw the poor and the sick and she devoted all her life to improving the situation. Thousands of young women were inspired to bee nurses.25.

This is not a trick question but rather an honest understanding into the inner workings of each one of us. We usually share with our friends a piece of who we are, the piece that we want them to like or connect with. However, there is a secret, a hidden piece that doesnt want to be noticed by others. Our personal inner beliefs play an important role in the way we think, act and live. They set us up to accept a belief and then it is the belief that parts our personal stories. There are many people who have taken on the pain and suffering of their parents. Some have devoted their lives to living with lack; that is lack of love because they saw what they thought was love when ignored in the crib(婴儿床) and it frightened them. Subconsciously(潜意识地) they made great efforts in their lives to avoid a similar experience. The point is that each one of us carries around with us our inner beliefs. If one of your beliefs is one that causes you to hold back from getting the perfect job or blocking love to e to you, that belief is a negative belief and one that needs to be dealt with if you are seeking a life of joy, satisfaction and personal success, whether it is emotional, spiritual, financial or physical.Do not let your blocked or frozen emotions guide the way you want to lead your life. Now it is your time to finally bee a victor over those past situations that have upset you during your whole life and bee the winner you were born to be.29.

Our inner beliefs make us what we are.30. What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?A. The negative belief.B. The lack of love. C. The past painful experience.D. The life of joy, contentment and success. 31. What does the author advise us to do with negative inner beliefs?A. To ignore inner negative beliefs.B. To share our negative inner beliefs with others.C. To deal with our negative inner beliefs actively.D. To find out the reasons for negative inner beliefs. DWhy elephants rarely get cancer is a mystery that has confused scientists for decades. A study led by researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute(HCI), at the University of Utah and Arizona State University may have found the answer. According to the results, elephants have 38 additional copies of a gene that encodes p53, a well-defined tumor suppressor(肿瘤抑制基因), as pared to humans, who have only two. Further, elephants may have a more powerful system for killing damaged cells that are at risk for being cancerous. In isolated elephant cells, this activity is doubled pared to healthy human cells, and five times that of cells from patients with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, who have only one working copy of p53 and more than a 90 percent cancer risk in children and adults. The results suggest extra p53 could explain elephants increased resistance to cancer. “Nature has already showed how to prevent cancer. Its up to us to learn how different animals overe the problem so we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people, ”says co-senior author Joshua Schiffman, M.D., pediatric oncologist(儿科肿瘤医生) at Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah School of Medicine. But Prof Mel Greaves, from the Institute of Cancer Research in London, says we should focus on why humans have such high levels of cancer. He pointed to the rise of unhealthy, cancer-causing behaviours, such as obesity and sunbathing. “Youve never seen an elephant smoke!” he added.According to Schiffman, elephants have long been considered a walking problem. Because they have 100 times as many cells as people, they should be 100 times more likely to have a cancerous state and cause the disease over their long life span of 50 to 70 years. And yet analysis of a large database of elephant deaths evaluates a cancer death rate of less than 5 percent pared to 11 to 25 percent in people. 32. Why are elephants less likely to get cancer than humans?A. Elephants are bigger than humans. B. Elephants are not as clever as humans. C. Elephants eat more than humans. D. Elephants have more p53 genes than humans. 33. What can we learn from the text?A. More p53 genes contribute to resisting cancer.B. Elephants have less damaged cells in their bodies.C. Patients with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome must get cancer.D. A healthy human has only one working copy of p53.34. Whats Prof Mel Greaves attitude towards the discovery?A. Favorable. B. Neutral. C. Cautious.D. Doubtful. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Elephants have longer life than people.B. There is no chance that elephants die from cancer.C. The rate of elephants dying from cancer is increasing.D. It was thought that elephants could get cancer more easily. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.
