Since March 2012, Ive done 89 tripsof those, 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because Ive got two ice packs and thats how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor（捐献者）to the time they can be implanted in the patient, weve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, Im really sorry, Ive got some bad news for youthere are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patientplease, please, youve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed（改道）me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, youre consciously aware that in that box youve got something that is potentially going to save somebodys life.4. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 1?A. provider. B. delivery man.C. collector.D. medical doctor.5. Why does Peter have to plete his trip within 42 hours?A. He cannot stay away from his job too long.B. The donor can only wait for that long.C. The operation needs that much time.D. The ice wont last any longer.6. Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?A. To London. B. To Newark.C. To Providence. D. To Washington.7. According to paragraph two, which of the following word can be used to describe the woman? A. helpful. B. selfish. C. Easy-going. D. optimistic. COne form of social prejudice（偏见）against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modem technology. Activities like playing puter games, going on the Internet and downloading MP3s arc only for the young. Isnt it unfair that older people enjoying a puter game should be frowned（皱眉）upon by their children and grandchildren?Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active alter retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing puter games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.When personal puters were first introduced, most older people didnt believe they would ever operate it. Now puters have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually bee more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says: “I find it very relaxing. Its not very challenging, but you still need to concentrate.”Another development that has favored “grey games” is a change in the type of video games available on the market. Theres a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and plex strategy（策略）and simulation（模拟）games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular. Train Simulator is based on real-world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challenges, such as keeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.Some people argue that “grey gamers” simply dont have the skills required for puter games, and that teenagers are better. This couldnt be further from the truth. Most .puter games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the “grey gamers” may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction times. On the other hand, “grey gamers” have a preference for slower paced, mind challenging games.8. 7 he second paragraph is intended to .A. show the best way to exercise the brainB. stress the importance of good healthC. explain why grey gamers existD. teach how to play videogames9. What was older peoples attitude towards personal puters at first ?A. Doubtful B. Concerned C. Enthusiastic D. Supportive10. The method the author uses to develop Paragraph 4 is .A. offering analyses B. giving examplesC. making parisons D. providing details11. By saying “This couldnt be further from the truth.” in Paragraph 5, the author means .A. mind challenging games are not suitable for older peopleB. children should improve their skills with practiceC. playing puter games requires analytical thinkingD. older people can perform well in some puter gamesDI was an introvert（内向的人）by nature. For as long as I remember, putting on a sincere smile when meeting someone had never been easy. The key to a sincere smile however, is simple. Its for someone to feel excited. But thats the source of the problem. When meeting people, instead of being excited, I often felt upset.But we all know friends are important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you will get, whether its job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners. So a smile is important to make others feel fortable. Mother Teresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”The smile Im now talking about is not to make a face to cashiers（收银员）or waiters. Im talking about those wide smiles you make when meeting old friends. So Ive discovered a trick. And I call this technique（技巧）“Oh, its Jamie!” When I meet someone, I imagine an old friend of mine called Jamie who was my first friend when we were still kids. Its no secret why my smile is as wide as I can possibly make. And its not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well.And the best part, whenever youre friendly to others, they turn friendly in return. Youre not hearing this from me. Some research done by scientists actually backs this claim. So do remember to give it a try.Three years ago at the age of 23, I took a long hard look at my life and decided that I was nothing. Tired of my life, I set about making dramatic changes and now I have bee a popular writer. My success reflects（显示）that nothing is too difficult if you try bravely.12. From Paragraph 1 we learn that the author .A. found it difficult to show a sincere smile to peopleB. felt excited but nervous when meeting peopleC. became an introvert because of his surroundingsD. didnt want to smile at others13. What do we know from Mother Teresas words in Paragraph 2?A. We cant live without the help of our friends.B. A smile is important to make others feel fortable.C. Many people dont know the importance of a smile.D. People who always smile are sure to have many friends.14. Which of the following sayings can we infer from the passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. Every road leads to Rome.C A good beginning is half success. D. Try and try, never say die.15. The author writes this passage mainly to .A. tell us how to make friends B. tell us how he achieves successC. encourage us to perfect our smile D. describe what a sincere smile is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。A Hug That Leads To A MiracleWeve all heard about the magical power of love in fairytales and stories like Harry Potter where Lily Potters love for her son Harry was so strong that it was able to save his life and defeat the most powerful dark wizard there ever was. 16 In reality, human touch as affection was actually used in medicine in the U.S. and saved the life of a premature （早产）baby in 1995, when the twins named Brielle and Kyrie were born in at Mass Memorial. They were 12 weeks premature and weighed just 2 pounds. The doctor told the parents the twins had to be separately put in the incubators（保温箱）, and that the next 42 to 78 hours either of them could turn very quickly when it came to health condition. 17 Her oxygen levels dropped. Her heartbeat was racing and she began to turn blue. Her parents were pletely lost and ready to give up hope.Then the nurse Gayle Kasparaian asked the parents if she could try something new, something that would change the current medicine in the U.S. 18 The moment she placed the twins together, Kyrie put her tiny little arm over her sister in what the press would appear to be the “Rescuing Hug”. Soon, Brielle began to calm down and her breathing almost became stable. At that time, this newly-created skin-to-skin contact, known as “Kangaroo Care” was referred to as effective in treating premature syndrome outside America. At first the doctors didnt dare to try the method for the reason that these kids were thought to be so weak that they wouldnt be able to make it. 19_ However, Kyrie and Brielles experience was considered to be “historical” and changed this policy. 20 They went to the same high school and college. Now they are also working for the same pany and are even closer than ever speaking at the same time and sharing the same thoughts.A. Finally, the twins are living in harmony.B. But apparently, the power of love isnt just a fairytale.C. In their growth process, they have been sharing a lot in mon.D. Three days later, the younger sister, Brielle was struggling to breathe.E. Therefore, the twins were previously（先前地）kept apart for fear of infection.F. She decided to put the stronger twin, Kyrie in the same incubator with Brielle.G. She never forgot why she started and acplished the mission of saving the twin.第二部分 语言知识运用（百强校英语解析团队专供）（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A father and son living in my munity are two of the most unfriendly people I have ever met in my life.
