It was about 10:45 p.m. All of a sudden, he felt something in his chest. It was a fullness that he had never felt before. The feeling was dull and painless. But it quickly became a very strong “chest ache.” His chest felt full. His hand felt numb.He couldnt believe it. Im having a heart attack, he thought. No, it couldnt be. He was perfectly healthy, or at least he was the last time he saw his doctor. When was thatone year, or two years, ago? Well, it didnt matter. Your doctor could give you a clean bill of health on Monday and you could drop dead on Wednesday. But he had great genesno one in his family had ever died of a heart attack. In fact, no one in his family had ever died of anything at his age.He kept hoping the sensation would just disappear. But the feeling of fullness remainedyet without the slightest bit of pain. Should he call 911no, the ambulance alone would be at least $500. The emergency room bill would be in the thousands. And what about the embarrassment if this was a false alarm? He was getting confused. He used to teach CPR, and he knew he had the symptoms of a heart attack. Victims usually describe a feeling of fullness. Students always used to ask what the “fullness” felt like, but he couldnt tell them. Now he knew exactly what it felt like.So, this is how its going to happen, he thought, as he sat in the chair looking at the TV, waiting to die. He didnt particularly like the thought of dying at this time, but he accepted it. He was 60 years old. You live, you die. Would he just quietly bee unconscious? Or would his heart “explode,” causing him to yell out in pain?And then the fullness in his chest simply disappeared. The numbness in his hand went away, too. He waited, just to be sure. He was okay! From start to finish, perhaps three minutes had passed. Thank You, he said quietly.36. What do we learn about the man in Paragraph 2?A. He was not sure whether he was having a heart attack.B. He went to see the doctor regularly two years ago.C. His doctor thought that he would die on Wednesday.D. Some of his family members died of heart attacks.37. The man didnt call 911 for help partly because _.A. he doubted the hospitals abilityB. he wanted to die at homeC. he wanted to watch TV while dyingD. he didnt want to pay for the cost38.

What happened to the man in the end?A. His chest simply disappeared.B. He just lost one of his hands.C. Nothing serious happened to him.D. He became unconscious 3 minutes later.40. The passage is intended to _.A. advise us to take good care of ourselvesB. tell us a special experience of a manC. teach us some medical knowledgeD. report a medical accidentBIt was an old clock, but it still told the correct time. The face had a faded picture of Andys parents taken shortly after they got married. Aside from some photos, the clock was the only memento(纪念品) Andy had of his mom and dad. His father died of cancer in 1964. Then his mom moved to a private nursing home. She had many friends there. The nursing home, however, closed. They moved her into a state nursing home. She hated it there. She asked Andy to help her move into a private nursing home again. She had spent most of her husbands savings on living expenses at the first nursing home. Andy said he would try. But Andy had no savings. He called his older brother Frank, who was single and had a great job. Frank was a deep-sea fisherman and his only interest is buying a large boat for weekend use. When Andy told his brother this, Frank said he would think about it.Frank never did send his mom the money to move into a private nursing home. Alone and unhappy, she died in the state nursing home only a year later. Andy never forgave his brother. Many years went by. Franks health declined. He called up Andy one day. “Andy, I feel really bad about not helping our Mom. The older Ive gotten, the more guilt I feel. My days are numbered, Andy. I was wondering if you would send me that clock, just for a little while. I want to beg Mom to forgive me.” Andy was very unwilling to part with his clock, but he did feel a little sorry for Frank. Frank died ten months later. One of Franks nieces, Flo, got everything from Frank. Flo sold Uncle Franks house, car, and boat within the week. Everything of lesser value went to a charity. His cash and stocks, of course, were already safely in her name.When Andy discovered that his brother had died, he called Flo to ask about his clock. “Oh,” she said, “that went to charity with everything else. You didnt really want that old thing, did you, Uncle Andy? Uncle Andy? Hello?” Well, that was rude, she thought.41. What do we know about Andys family?A. His parents divorced when he was young.B.

Story of a Fisherman.CA severely disabled 57 year old man, Mr. Nicklinson, is to ask a High Court judge to allow a doctor to end his life. He was paralysed (瘫痪的) from the neck down following a sudden disease in xx. He is unable to speak and municates by nodding his head at letters on a board or by using a puter which responds to eye movements.In a statement by his lawyers, Mr Nicklinson said, “When the time is right I want to be able to die at home with a drug which a doctor could give me so that I can take it with help and go to sleep peacefully with my family around to say goodbye to me. That would be a good death. What I have to look forward to is a sad ending with uncertainty, pain, and suffering while my family watch on helplessly. Why must I suffer these indignities? If I were able to move I could put an end to my life when I want to. Why is life so cruel?”Earlier this year his legal team said they would be asking the Director of Public Prosecutions(DPP) to clarify the law on so-called mercy killing. However, the DPP had made it clear there was no flexibility on the law and anyone who deliberately took someones life would be charged with murder. A spokesman for the DPP said, “It is murder for a person to do an act that ends the life of another, even if he or she does so on the basis that he or she is simply plying(遵从) with the wishes of the other person concerned.”Last year the Scottish Parliament rejected plans to make it legal for someone terminally ill to seek help to end their life. A spokesperson for the British Medical Association said that the BMA is opposed to assisted suicide and doctors cant take a role in any form of assisted dying. They support the current law and are not seeking any change in UK legislation on this issue.Therefore, the future of Mr Nicklinson is still not certain.46. What is Mr. Nicklinson able to do at the moment?A. Move his head and hand.B. Say letters but not words.C. Respond to a puter.D. Move his eyes and head.47. What can we learn about Mr. Nicklinson from Paragraph 2?A. He would put an end to his life himself.B. He wants to die in the hospital rather than at home.C. He wants to take a drug and die in peace.D. He plains about his familys not caring him.48. “These indignities” in Paragraph 2 may include _.A. a death at home with a drugB. peaceful sleep and a good deathC. a hopeless life with no endD. loss of a family member49. What is the DPPs opinion on mercy killing?A. Mercy killing should never be allowed.B. The law should consider some special cases.C. Mercy killing is different from murder.D. Mercy killing should be done with permission.50. What is the main idea of the passage?A. There is a heated debate on mercy killing.B. A paralysed man wants to die in peace.C. Everybody should fight against the current law.D. Changes should be made to laws with time. DAll parents tell their children little white lies from time to time. For example, they always say, “Of course Father Christmas es down the chimney!” Its all part of the magic of childhood. However, theres one lie thats bigger than all the others. Its “I dont have a favorite child.”American writer Jeffrey Kluger writes, “95 percent of parents in the world have a favorite childand the other 5 percent are lying.” He may be exaggerating(夸大) the figures for dramatic effect, but scientific research shows that Kluger is not far off the truth, although every parent refuses to admit that they have a favorite child.According to one recent study by researchers from the University of California, which followed 384 sibling(兄弟姐妹) pairs and their parents for three years, 65 percent of the mothers and 70 percent of fathers showed a preference for one of their children. As this study was among families that knew they were being monitored, theres a strong possibility the true figures could be significantly higher.Generally, parents would say there is no favoritism in their families. But interestingly, a lot of personal stories from parents shows that they, or their siblings, were indeed their mother or fathers favorite children. It seems everyone knows favoritism existsbut nobody wants to put their hand up and say theyre guilty of it themselves.Another research suggests that mothers do tend to a show a preference for their first-born son while fathers often choose their youngest daughters as their favorite. Parents will often be drawn to the child who is easiest to get along withor the child that shares similar features to them. For example, mum will have a special bond with her sensitive, arty son, while dad focuses attention on his sporty daughter.Professor Scott says being least favored in a family can color our behavior as adults. “Children who feel they are less loved within their family are more likely to develop anxiety, depression and low self-confidence.” But some experts believe being less favored can have positive consequences. Professor Scott agrees that favored children can sometimes find life difficult when they have to live in the real world without their parents.51. The passage mainly tells the readers about _.A. parents preference for their childrenB. different ways of raising childrenC. peoples love for their parentsD. parents influences on their children52. What can be learned from Paragraph 1 and 2?A. There was no Father Christmas or chimney at all.B. People remember the magic of their childhood.C. Parents really want to lie to their children.D. Few parents admit they have a favorite child.53. Which of the following is true?A. Most parents want only one child in their families.B. Many people were their parents favorite children.C. Favoritism exists in all families in the world.D. People feel guilty when they write personal stories.54. Who is most likely to bee a mothers favorite child?A. The son who shares similar features with his father.B. The most beautiful youngest girl in the family.C. The son who loves art and has a sensitive feeling.D. The daughter who plays basketball very well55. What might happen if someone is the least favored in a family?A. His behavior as an adult will be affected.B. He will have a colorful life in the future.C. He will bee more confident.D. He will find that life is difficult.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请将答案填涂在答题卡标号为5660的相应位置上。首先，请阅读以下书籍简介：ABased on more than forty interviews with Jobs, Walter Isaacson has written a story of a creative man who changed six industries: personal puters, animated movies, music, phones, tablet puting, and digital publishing.BBen and Rose secretly wish their lives were different.
