He was a Pediatric Cardiologist at UCLA back in 1971 who saved my life. I was eight years old at the time with a severe heart problem and I needed heart surgery. My Mom did not have the money, and without the surgery there was a real good chance I would not live to be thirteen years old. After contacting several organizations Dr. Vincent was able to get financial help for me through United Way, a Crippled Childrens Organization. Dr. Vincent was a handsome man; he was also very gentle and caring. I remember being in the hospital for an Angiogram test, and during the procedure I was crying terribly, so the medical staff called in Dr. Vincent to calm me down, and he was able to comfort me when no one else could. Then the time came for me to have heart surgery; there was a fifty- percent chance that I would not make it through the surgery because it was experimental. At the time I was only the second or third person to have this procedure done. I was absolutely terrified, and again Dr. Vincent reassured me he would see to it that everything would be all right. I had a lot of confidence and trust in Dr. Vincent; He came to see me after the surgery, which was extremely painful but very successful, and brought me a stuffed animal. I was so surprised to get this gift from Dr. Vincent; I gave him a hug. I guess Dr. Vincent must have known I was feeling very lonely and scared. You see, I had no family or friends visit me while I was in the hospital except for my Mom, and I am not sure why. I do know one thing; I had a wonderful doctor who took the time to help a scared little girl who felt all alone. This was twenty eight years ago, so wherever you are Dr. Vincent, I want to thank you for not only saving my life, but you helped me live a normal productive life, and for showing me that you truly cared, for that I will be eternally grateful to you. 41.

A. greatly B. wonderfully C. for everD. at all BWalking across the campus of Pittsburghs Carnegie Mellon University one delightful spring day, I came upon a table filled with young people chatting and enjoying the fine weather. Several had identical blue T-shirts with “Trilogy CMU” written across them Trilogy being an Austin, Texas-based software company with a reputation for recruiting (招聘) our top students. I walked over to the table. “Are you guys here to recruit?” I asked. “No, absolutely not,” they replied firmly. “Were not recruiters. Were just hanging out, playing a little Frisbee (飞盘) with our friends. “How interesting”, I thought. Theyve come to campus on a workday, all the way from Austin, just to hang out with some new friends.As I later learned, they were gifted students who had inked the highest-paying deal in the history of their departments.I asked one young man why he was going to a smaller city in Texas. The company is excellent, he told me. There are also terrific people and the work is challenging. Though he had several good job offers from Pittsburghs high-tech firms and knew the city well, he said he felt the city lacked the lifestyle options, cultural diversity, and tolerant attitude that would make it attractive to him. As he summed it up: “ How would I fit in here?”What a change from my own college days, just a little more than 20 years ago, when students would put on their dressiest clothes and carefully hide any counterculture tendencies to prove that the), could fit in with the company. Today, apparently. Its the company trying to fit in with the students. These young men and their lifestyle represent a lively new force in the economy and life of America. They are members of what I call the creative class: a fast-growing, highly educated, and well-paid part of the workforce on whose efforts corporate profits and economic growth increasingly depend. They do not consciously think of themselves as a class. Yet they share a common belief that values creativity, individuality, difference, and advantage.46.

To meet their old schoolmates.48. The underlined word “inked” in paragraph 2 probably means: A. fulfilled B. obtained C. settled D. signed49. Which of the following best describes the authors attitude towards the young people? A. Criticizing B. Disappointing C. Approving D. Disgusting50. From the passage we can infer that _. A. the young people prefer to work in a small quiet city B. the high pay is the main attraction to the young peopleC. Pittsburgh has many advantages over AustinD. Pittsburgh doesnt have enough attractions to the young people基础写作假设你是李华，曾在美国学习半年，现已回国。你想联系你的美国老师Mr. Smith,但没有其联系方式。请根据以下要点给你的美国同学Tom 写一封信：【内容要点】1. 感谢Tom对你英语学习的帮助；2. 询问Mr. Smith 的近况并索要其联系方式；3. 邀请Tom在春节期间来中国感受中国文化。【写作要求】1. 只能用5个句子来表达；2不能出现真实姓名和学校。【写作提示】1、文体：应用文2、时态：一般现在时、现在完成时Dear Tom,_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Yours,Li Hua答案解析完型填空1. B本题考查动词词义的辨析，后面用的是what kind of home life David had, 所以用wondered。2. D 本题考查副词词义的辨析，inappropriately 不适当地，根据下文中的without a coat, boots, or gloves可知David穿得不合适。3. C 本题考查形容词的词义辨析，special特殊的；特别的，上文中说到David穿得不好，下文中说到作者能记得的是David 脸上一直挂着微笑，总是乐于助人，说明他与众不同。4C本题考查动词的辨析，wear呈现，显现，在这儿意思是面笑容。5. D 本题考查动词词组的区别：head for朝进发，前进。在这儿是说David打扫完教室后回家。6. A 本题考查名词的辨析，relief轻松，宽慰。7.

C 本题考查句词的辨析，由前文中的We never talked much可知，作者并没对David注意太多。完型填空本文讲的是中国艾滋病感染者和病人达74万，病毒传播势头得到遏制。1. first one的序数词用first, 表示“第一例艾滋病阳性病例”。2. had been recorded 考过去完成时的被动语态，动作发生在announced之前。3. by 表示到今年底为止，用介词by。4. compared 过去分词作定语。5. since 根据句子结构应填个连词引导状语从句，再根据前面的时态应填since, 表示“自从1981第一次报告以来。”6. a 一项艾滋病联合国规划署的报告，在辅音前面应填a。7. but 两个并列分句之间存在转折关系，故填but。8. prevention 表“预防计划”用名词形式。9. her 指“艾滋病女患者的孩子”用形容词性物主代词。10. after 根据before or during birth or through breastfeeding 应填介词after。 阅读理解41-45 BBBCC 46-50 ACDCD 基础写作参考范文Dear Tom, After half a years study in your country, I am now back to China, but I often recall your help to me for my English language study.
