When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father. As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them. At last mind was made up. “Im going to be a nurse,” she decided. “Nursing isnt the right work for a lady,” her father told her. “Then I will make it so”, she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home. During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work. Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman. After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries. Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today. 1. When she was a child, Florence _. A. loved to travel very much B. knew what her duty in life was C. loved to help the sick people D. want to learn music and drawing in the future2. During the Crimean War in 1854, Florence served in the front hospital where _.

She built the Nightingale Home for Nurses. B. She wrote a book on public health. C. She worked as a nurse all her life. D. She did a great deal of work during the Crimean War. 4. The passage can best be described as _. A. the life story of a famous woman B. a description of the nursing work C. an example of successful education D. the history of nursing in EnglandBA new study says electronic toys are not helping babies learn.Even if panies are marketing them as educational, theyre not teaching the babies anything at this time, said Anna Sosa the studys author.Researchers listened to audio(声音的)recordings of parents playing with their babies aged 10 months to 16 months. The researchers pared the experiences when the children played with electronic toys, traditional toys such as blocks,or when the children looked at books. What they found is that parents talked less with their babies when the babies played with electronic toys. Why is this important? Research shows that how quickly children develop language is often based on what they hear from parents. When the infants played with electronic toys, parents said little to their children. But with traditional toys, such as blocks, parents shared the names anddescriptionsof the animals, colors and shapes as their children played. There was even more information given by parents as their babies looked at the pictures in books.Of course, there is no need for parents to throw out electronic toys, but they should look at their infants play with such toys as entertainment, not a learning experience.Toy Industry Association spokeswoman Adrienne Appell responded to the study. She said it is important that parents make time to play with their children. Playing is a way that kids can learn so much, not onlycognitive(认知的)skills, but social and developmental skills, she said. She added that play should be balanced, including time for just make believeactivities, as well as traditional and electronic toys.5. Whats Anna Sosas attitude towards panies claiming that their toys are educational?A. supportive B. indifferent C. uninterested D. doubtful6. We can learn from the text that babies in the research _.A. liked traditional toys better than electronic toysB. interact less with their parents when playing with electronic toysC. talked little with their parents when playing with electronic toys D. listened to audio recordings of their parents 7. Children develop language more quickly when their parents _. A. read them picture books oftenB. teach them how to speak C. buy them a lot of toys D. throw away their electronic toys8. According to Adrienne Appell, playing _. A. cant take the place of learningB. shouldnt take most of childrens timeC. is good to childrens overall development D. cant develop childrens cognitiveskillsThere was a time,not so long ago, when I was busy,busy.At least I thought I was.I told people I worked 60 hours a week.I declared to sleep six hours a week.I declared to sleep six hours a night.As I plained to anyone stuck next to me at parties, I was basically too busy to breathe.Now I work 45 hours a week and sleep close to eight hours a night.But Im not getting any less done.My secret?I started keeping track of how I spent my time,recording how many hours and minutes I devoted to different activities,sleep and chores.I soon realized Id been lying to myself about where the time was going.What I thought was a 60-hours workweek wasnt even close.I would have guessed I spent hours doing dishes when in fact I spent minutes.I spent much time lost on the Internet or hanging about,unsure exactly what I was doing.Im not alone in this time fog.If you believe results from some studies, plenty of people have false impressions of how they spend time in our “too-rushed-to-breath”world.We all have the same 168 hours per week-a number of people think it over even as they talk about “24-7”with abandon-but since time passes whether we admit it or not.We seldom think through exactly how were spending our hours. We also live in a petitive society, and so by plaining about our overwork,we show that we devoted to our jobs and our families.Being “busy”and “starved for time”is a way to show we matter.Put another way,it makes us feel important.But if you think about it,plaining about a very long to-do list is not only boring,its sad excuse for ones self-esteem(自尊).Owning up to how we spend our hours gives us more control of our time, and finally,of our lives.9.What does the author mainly talk about in the first two paragraphs?A. He was made so busy all by himself. B.He was once terribly busy every day.C.He has a good six-hour sleep a night. D.He was too busy to stand his daily life.10.The expression “24-7”(in Para.6)most probably means_.A.7 hours a day for rest or sleep B.7days a week and 24 hours a day.C.7 hours taken away from 24 hours D.work hours decreased from 24to7.11.To settle our “time fog”,the author thinks,we should first_.A. build up self-confidence in our daily lifeB. B.give up plaining about our lengthy to-do list.C.know that its important to own enough available timeD.make it clear how much time we have improperly used.12.What will the author most probably talk about next?A. Why you are so busy. B.Where your time goes.C.How to control your time. D.How to evaluate work time.DMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has bee an area of study in modern life.13. Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The bear. B. The fox.C. The small bird. D. The white butterfly.14.When , certain animals change their choosing of food.A. the season changesB. the food color changesC. they move to different placesD. they are attracted by different smells 15.We can learn from the last paragraph that .A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of foodD. some people care little about healthy diet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。One of the mon plaints we hear from the people around us are problems they are facing.
