He is considered one of the fathers of modern epidemiology (传染病), partly because of his work in tracing the source of a cholera outbreak in London, in 1854. His findings inspired fundamental changes in the water and waste systems of London, which led to similar changes in other cities, and a significant improvement in general public health around the world.Snow was born on 15 March, 1813 in York, England. He was the first of nine children born to William and Frances Snow in their North Street home. His neighborhood was one of the poorest in the city and was always in danger of flooding because of its nearness to the River Ouse. His father was a laborer who may have worked at a local coal yard, but later was a farmer in a small village to the north of York. Snow was baptized (洗礼) at All Saints Church, North Street, York.In 1837 Snow began working at the Westminster Hospital. Admitted as a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England on 2 May 1838, he graduated from the University of London in December 1844 and was admitted to the Royal College of Physicians in 1850. In 1850 he was also one of the founding members of the Epidemiological Society of London, formed in response to the cholera outbreak of 1849.In 1830 Snow became a member of the Temperance Movement, and lived for a decade or so as a vegetarian (素食者) and teetotaler. In the mid-1840s his health decreased, and he returned to meat-eating and drinking wine. He kept drinking pure water (via boiling) throughout his adult life. He never married.Snow suffered a stroke while working in his London office on 10 June 1858. He was 45 years old at the time. He never recovered, dying on 16 June 1858. He was buried in Brompton Cemetery.24. In the opinion of John Snow, which of the following one can be added to a healthy diet?

I was very excited as I stood in line, waiting to receive my high school diploma. I looked around at the graduating class of our small Christian school and wondered how we had grown up so fast. After that weekend we would go our separate ways. Many planned on attending college far away, as I did. Others had jobs lined up and few were thinking about marriage.Directly in front of me was a friend Id known for six years; we had been on many adventures together. He grinned, looking a little smug (洋洋得意的). He and a couple of students had played one last trick before they graduated: The night before, theyd slipped into the principals (校长) home and used rolls of toilet paper to decorate his house and yard. I eyed the principal on the stage. He gave no indication that anything was wrong.We moved slowly up in line. My friend walked across the stage and received his diploma. Then my name was called. I took a deep breath, nervously climbed the steps, crossed the stage under the hot lights and stopped in front of the principal. He gave me a big smile, shook my hand and handed me my diploma. I couldnt wait to open the diploma case and find my name, certifying that I had graduated. However, when my friend opened his case, we all burst out laughing. Instead of a diploma, a single square of toilet paper was placed inside.Our high school principal had a great sense of humor and took this opportunity to play a trick back on the boys. I thought they were required to clean his house and yard, but they got off easily. They were allowed to graduate.Sometimes we get lucky when we do something wrong. However, sometimes we dont. I often wonder how those who do wrong things get rid of troubles. We have decisions to make throughout our lives. The surest way to stay out of trouble is to avoid it in the first place.28.What would the writer do after graduating from high school?A. Get married. B. Bee a principal.C. Continue his study. D. Find a regular job.29.Why did the writers friend seem pleased before receiving his diploma? A. Nobody had discovered his criminal behavior.B. He was about to graduate from high school with great honors.C. He had been praised by the principal for his achievements.D. He had succeeded in teasing the principal.30.How did the authors friend feel the instant he opened his diploma case?A. Astonished B. Embarrassed. C. Touched. D. Calm.31.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Keeping away from Wrong Choices B. Cherishing Every Opportunity in LifeC. Avoiding Making One Mistake Twice D. Learning Valuable Lessons from Failure DBack in xx an 86-year-old man drove his Buick through a crowded farmers market. Nine people were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stopped, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. Apparently, he was just old and confused.This is a frightening accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools, houses, storefronts, or worse.In our teenage years, we all heard “driving is not a right; its a privilege (特权).” That is still true, and there es an age when driving is no longer a privilege that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight and dementia (痴呆) are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly, these age-related problems affect some older adults driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty-five and ninety years old, his or her driving privilege should be examined.Licensing laws vary greatly from state to state, and its time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving. The motivation for this law is safety. Another option (选项) is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as safe as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow elderly drivers to continue driving could be new technology like a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldnt some prescription (处方) drugs also be included? The average age of 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one prescription drug daily.The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two-ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age is not only challenging for the elderly drivers, but also its dangerous for the rest of us.32.The first paragraph is written in order to show_. A. the harm of driving at an old age B. the importance of traffic safetyC. traffic accidents are on the rise D. many elderly drivers are careless33.The author suggests that there should be new laws against driving _. A. over eighty-five B. between sunset and dawn C. with the help of voice warning systems D. under the influence of prescription drugs34.The underlined word “unsettling” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_”. A. disappointing B. worrying C. touching D. interesting35.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. How to keep old people safe on the road?B. Are drivers well protected by licensing laws?C. Should there be an age limit for elderly drivers?D. Is driving a right or a privilege for an old person?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。Years ago, I found a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with the same problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very similar. 36 The biggest difference is that blogging is much more public than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of secrets that she does not want to share. Its interesting that someone who writes in a blog instead of a diary will probablywrite nearly the sameinformation. I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 37 Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide mydiary in a secret place because I was worried that my sister might read it! 38 If I was angry with afriend during high school and wrote something mean about her in my diary, she would never know. However, if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might read her blog and getangry. 39 If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary,Nobody cares about me, no one would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly respond and tell her how much they like her. 40 . A. There are also advantages to blogging, of course.B. The biggest trouble with blogging is what someone said may mislead teenagers.C. So, what makes blogging different from writing ina traditional diary?D. Blogs help people stay in contact with their friends and to hear what the people around them are doing.E. Blogs can serve as a platform where people can voice different opinions about some social issues.F. When I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but only in my diary.G. The biggest problem with blogging is that anyone can read what you write.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（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。In the week before Christmas, one Delta airlines pilot gave a sad Arizona family a gift that no one else could.Father of three, Jay short died after a 41 with lung cancer Dec, 16th.

Nostalgia- which Yu wrote in his 40s to voice his homesickness for his childhood motherland-became his mostwell-known work, since it resonated (引起共鸣) with many who were far away from home. The poem appeared in Chinese school textbooks and 65 (adapt) into songs. 66 , the fact that Nostalgia became so famous also disturbed Yu because among the over 1000 poems that he 67 (write), Nostalgia seemed to be the only one that the public ever talked about and appreciated.“Id like to think of Nostalgia 68 my business card, but unfortunately it got so big that it kept people from seeing the real me,” Yu once said, according to China Youth Daily.Indeed, writing poems is only one of Yus many talents. Great Chinese Liang Shiqiu once said of Yu, “He writes poems with his right hand and proses (散文) with his left hand. There is hardly anyone who matches his achievements at the time.” Yu was also a 69 (translate). According to CGTN, Yu spoke French, German, Spanish, Italian and Russian, and published 13 translation collections.To him, writi
