Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. AOn the night of December 8, 1992, when he was standing in a parking lot talking to friends, Tracy March jumped to the top of a car, as he had done a hundred times before. This time, though, Tracy lost his balance. His head struck the ground, hard. All night, Cory, Tracy s mother, stood next to her son, who was lying in a hospital bed, his brown eyes fixed in a lifeless stare. She remembered that Tracy has once mentioned organ （器官）donation. Maybe I can spare another family this pain, she thought. When the time came, she and her husband Bill signed the forms permitting his organs to be donated. Tracy was declared dead the next day. Twenty-four hours later, in a Boston hospital, Tracys liver was made part of my husband, David, who was suffering from a hopeless liver disease. Months later, we learned from the local organ bank that the donors parents wished desperately to meet someone who had gained life through the gift from their son. A meeting was arranged by the organ bank to bring together two families linked by the most bittersweet ties imaginable. The meeting was risky, but worth it. We talked for 3 hours. They showed us a picture of Tracy. We learned for the first how he had lived and died. We learned something about Bill and Cory too.For the Marches, seeing David and knowing he was well seemed to ease their suffering. Ill never forget seeing Davids tall figure stopped over Corry, her arms around his waist, as a mother would hug a son. For a long time they held each other tight. It was hard to know if she was saying hello or good-bye. Maybe she was saying both. 56. We learn from the passage that Tracy died _. A. on December 8, 1992B. of brain damage C. 24 hours after he fell off the roof of a carD. in a car crash57. Tracys parents decided to donate Tracys organs because _. A.Tracy told them to do so just before he died.B.They wanted to save others the pain of seeing dear one die.C.Davids life could continue in a meaningful way.D.They knew David was suffering from a hopeless liver disease. 58. The meeting between the writers family and Tracys parents was arranged because _.A.the writer and her husband wished to express their thanks to Tracys parentsB. the local organ bank wanted to see how both families felt about the donationC.Tracys parents wanted to see someone whose life had been saved by the donationD.the two families were linked by the most bittersweet ties imaginable. 59. The writer and her husband learned how Tracy died _. A. from his parentsB. from the organ bankC. from the hospitalD. from the doctor who performed the operation60. The meeting between the two families helped to relieve the Marshes suffering because _.A.they saw that David looked very much like their sonB.they saw that David had regained health with Tracys liverC.they now had someone to share their memories of TracyD.they now knew for sure they had done the right thing.B1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year, plus a further 50 million injuries. To reduce car crash rate, much research now is focused on safety and new fuels-though some electric vehicle and biofuel research aims at going faster.Travelling at speed has always been risky. One advanced area of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants(车内辅助设施). They can ensure you dont miss important road signs or fall asleep. The use of artificial intelligence software allows these assistants to monitor your driving and make sure your phone or radio doesnt distract you at a vital moment. Most crashes result from human and not mechanical faults.Some safety developments aim to improve your vision. Radar can find obstacles(障碍物) in fog, while other technology “sees through” big vehicles blocking your view.And improvements to seat belts, pedal（制动踏板） controls and tyres(轮胎) are making driving smoother and safer. The color of a car has been found to be linked with safety, as have, less surprisingly, size and shape.But whatever is in the fuel tank, you dont want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations（革新）. Satellite tracking and remote munications can also e into play if you crash, automatically calling for help.Accidents cause many traffic jams, but there are more subtle interplays（微妙的相互影响） between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road. Such jams can be analyzed using statistical tools. Robotic drivers could be programmed to make traffic flow smoothly and will perhaps one day be everyones personal drivers, but their latest efforts suggest that wont be soon.61. What are researchers interested in doing as the road accidents worldwide increase to a shocking rate? A. They are developing faster electric vehicles. B. They are analyzing road deaths occurring worldwide every year C. They concentrate their research on safety and new fuels D. They are designing fully automatic cars62. According to the second paragraph, most road accidents happen A. because drivers fall asleep. B. because drives make mistakes. C. because of engine failure. D. because of speeding.63. Which of the safety development is NOT mentioned in the in the passage? A. Radars that can help drivers to see obstacles in fog. B. Devices that can help drivers to see through big vehicles. C. Improvements in seat belts, pedal controls and tyres. D. Windscreens that can help drivers to improve their vision.64. What is NOT the purpose of innovations that use satellite tracking and remote munications? A. To prevent car thieves from getting into your car. B. To call for help when ones car crashes. C. To call for help when the car gets jammed in the traffic. D. To track the car down when it is being stolen.65. What is true of robotic drivers? A. It will take some time before robotic drivers can put to practical use. B. Robotic drivers are not allowed to drive on busy roads. C. Robotic drivers can never replace human drivers. D. Robotic drivers are too expensive to use. CFrans husband Tom had a habit of throwing his dirty socks into the laundry basket , but frequently missing by a few inches. It really frustrated Fran when she had to pick up his socks and place them in the basket. After learning the techniques of behavior modification(矫正)， Fran decided to stop nagging(唠叨) her husband and try positive reinforcement(加强). When he missed the basket, she said nothing and quietly picked up his socks. However, one day when his socks actually landed in the target, she quickly reinforced the appropriate behavior by saying, “ I really like it when you put your socks right inside the basket.” She followed this statement with a hug. Within a week, Tom was hitting the target every time, or picking up the socks by hand and placing them inside the basket whenever he missed. Consequently, an argument was avoided. There is an old saying that” you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar”, which is the principal behind behavior modification. plaining to someone of doing something, whether its a partner or a child, often gets just the opposite response: resistance. But almost everyone respond to positive reinforcement and this approach to changing someones behavior takes a little patience and emotional control. Experts of behavior modification believe habits are learned because of reinforcement from the environment. This theory states that people will always do the behavior that results in the most favorable oute. Even if in the doing, there are some negative effects. For instance，Fran may have learned from her mother that it really didnt matter whether her husbands socks landed in the basket or not. It is because shed e along and pick them up for him. That was the favorable oute but, if he only got negative messages from Fran for the same behavior, he didnt have much motivation to abandon it. Of course for some people nothing will work, but its sure worth a try, for treating them with a hostile attitude probably wont get you what you want , but it will get you a bad relationship with them. Positive reinforcement can be used with anyone, for any behavior, because all of us resist criticism and respond to praise. So, the next time you want someone to meet your wishes, try a little applause for the desired behavior.66. Why does the author present Tom and Frans story at the beginning of the passage? A. To introduce the techniques of behavior modification. B. To show Tom is one of those needing behavior modification. C. To let the readers know this family. D. To list ways to get rid of bad habits.67. Which of the following best fits the principle behind behavior modification? A. Taking no notice of ones occasional good behavior. B. Praising one for his or her good deeds. C. Telling a child not to make the same mistakes again. D. Leaving a child alone when he or she does something wrong.68. Which statement about a habit may the author agree with? A. Criticism contributes a lot to the formation of a bad habit. B. Most of our habits are formed in childhood. C. We can always get along with a person of good habits. D. A habit is usually reinforced by favorable oute.69. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Positive reinforcement works on anyone. B. Positive reinforcement should be applied to anyone. C. By using positive reinforcement we dont fail to get what we want D. By using positive reinforcement we can improving our relationship with anyone else.70. The purpose of the passage is to tell us_. A. how to bring out the best in others B. the way to get along with others C. what behavior modification is D. the training of behavior modificationPART FOUR WRITING (45 marks)SECTION A (10 marks)Directions： Read the following passage. plete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. There are certain benefits of eating raw eggs, as there are dangers. Let me put both the things before you, which may help you decide whether eating raw eggs is good or not. One good reason for eating or rather drinking raw eggs is that it supplies most of the essential amino acids(氨基酸) required for proper functioning of the human body. Another good reason to eat eggs is that they provide a bunch of vitamins and minerals like riboflavin, folic acid, vitamineB6, vitamin B 12, iron, choline, calcium, potassium and phosphorus. Egg is one of the few natural products that contain vitamin D. One more nutrient called choline is contained in the egg which is remended for intake by pregnant and nursing women, as it aids brain development. The egg white is the richest source of protein on earth. This makes it an ideal protein supplement. Eating raw eggs for protein is a mon practice among body builders. One danger from eating raw eggs is getting a salmonella infection. The danger is highly overstated, however. There is a probability of 1 in 30,000 eggs being infected with salmonella according to a study . To stay safe, you should purchase eggs from villagers who feed their chickens with organic foods. Cold storage of chicken eggs also helps to reduce the risk of infection. Another problem is that eating a lot of egg white can lead to lack of biotin(促生素). However, this problem can be dealt with if you eat the whole egg instead of just the egg white as the egg yolk is rich in biotin. The high level of cholesterol(胆固醇) in egg yolk is another risk . however， there is no convincing research on how much egg yolk cholesterol can be stored by the body. If you have heart problems, eating less is remended.
