21、   In the winter of 1664-65, a bitter cold fell on London in the days before Christmas. Above the city, an unusually bright comet (彗星) shot across the sky, exciting much prediction of a snow storm. Outside the city wall, a woman was announced dead of a disease that was spreading in that area. Her house was locked up and the phrase “Lord Have Mercy On Us” was painted on the door in red.

By the following Christmas, the virus that had killed the woman would go on to kill nearly 100,000 people living in and around London — almost a third of those who did not flee.

In The Great Plague (瘟疫), historian A．Lloyd Moote and microbiologist Dorothy C．Moote provide a deeply informed account of this plague year. Reading the book, readers are taken from the palaces of the city’s wealthiest citizens to the poor areas where the vast majority of Londoners were living, and to the surrounding countryside with those who fled. The Mootes point out that, even at the height of the plague, the city did not fall into chaos. Doctors, nurses and the church staff remained in the city to care for the sick; city officials tried their best to fight the crisis with all the legal tools; and commerce continued even as businesses shut down.

To describe life and death in and around London, the authors focus on the experiences of nine individuals. Through their letters and diaries, the Mootes offer fresh descriptions of key issues in the history of the Great Plague: how different communities understood and experienced the disease; how medical, religious, and government bodies reacted; how well the social order held together; the economic and moral dilemmas people faced when debating whether to flee the city; and the nature of the material, social, and spiritual resources supporting those who remained. Based on humanity (人性), the authors offer a masterful portrait of a city and its inhabitants attacked by — and daringly resisting — unimaginable horror.

【1】What can we learn from paragraph one?

A.A comet always follows the storm.

B.London was under approaching step threat.

C.London was prepared for the disease.

D.The woman was the beginning of the disease.

【2】What do the Mootes say about London during the great plague?

A.The people tried a lot in vain. B.The rich area didn’t experience the plague.

C.The city remained organized. D.The majority fled and thus survived.

【3】Why do the Mootes focus on the nine individuals?

A.They were famous people in history. B.They all manage to survive the plague

C.They united by thinking and acting as one. D.They provided a vivid story of humanity.

【4】The purpose of the text is__________.

A.to introduce a new book B.to correct a misunderstanding

C.to report a new study D.to show respect to the authors

22、   Imagine your body is like the house you live in. Every day, your family creates rubbish. The rubbish builds up until it is put out for the weekly garbage collection.

Now, say you put three bags of garbage out, but because one of the collectors was away sick, only two bags are collected. You take the leftover bag inside to be put out again next week. The following week you put out another three bags, plus the leftover bag from last week. But again, only two bags are collected. Imagine this cycle is repeated over the following weeks.

This is a simple description of what happens to your body when your kidneys ( 肾) don’t work efficiently. Your body is not thoroughly emptied of waste products. Other areas of the body such as blood pressure and red blood cell production are affected and the insidious process that may lead to kidney failure begins.

It’s not uncommon for people to lose up to 90 percent of their kidney function before developing any symptoms. There may be no warning signs. This makes early detection( 诊察) difficult.

Kidney’s main job is to remove toxins ( 毒素) and unwanted water from our blood. Every day our kidneys clean an average of 200 litres of blood. Kidney failure may be a gradual and silent process, going unnoticed because there is no apparent pain.

Research shows that more than 25 percent of patients found to require dialysis ( 透析) do not see a kidney specialist until less than 90 days before dialysis starts. Some risk factors for kidney disease such as age and genetic make-up are out of our control; however, some changes in lifestyle may help prevent kidney damage. Two major risk factors for kidney disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, have been on the rise over the last few decades. Both conditions are chiefly affected by being overweight and not getting enough exercise, which are the potential factors for the disease.

【1】The author gives the example of the house we live in to indicate that   .

A.it’s safe and harmless for our body to keep some waste

B.it doesn’t matter much if the waste in our body is not emptied in time

C.it’s important for our body to empty the waste in time every day

D.our body will not produce any waste if our kidneys work efficiently

【2】The underlined word “insidious” (in Paragraph 3) means   .

A.gradual and unnoticed B.apparent and fast

C.smooth and safe D.painful and long

【3】We can infer that when we find some symptoms related to our kidneys, .

A.the kidney failure begins

B.the kidneys may have been seriously damaged

C.we have lost about 10 percent of kidney function

D.the kidneys can still work properly

【4】How many factors of kidney disease are mentioned in the passage?

A.Three. B.Four. C.Five. D.Six.

【5】Which of the following helps prevent kidney damage?

A.Go to see a kidney specialist shortly before dialysis starts.

B.Go to see a kidney specialist whenever you find any warning sign.

C.Try to keep low blood pressure and a stable lifestyle.

D.Take enough exercise and make early detection of kidney disease.

23、There’s a significant reason behind the four standard colors found on passports, but there are some unusual shades, too. Take a closer look at that small, rectangular booklet in your hand. Depending on where you’re from, its color could tell you a lot about the country you call home.

“Although there are no strict international guidelines for passport colors, the shades are by no means random. Countries typically choose colors that can best show their culture, politics, or faith.” Claire Burrows of De La Rue, a British passport-making company, told the Economist.

For example, Islamic countries often use green passport covers because the color is important in their religion. Member countries of ECOWAS(the Economic Community of West African States) cover their passports with various shades of green, too. Members of the European Union, on the other hand, use burgundy-colored passports, as do countries who would like to join the EU, such as Turkey.

The United States tends to march to the beat of its own drum, and its passport’s color is no different. While the country shifted between pale brown, green, and a variety of reds into the latter half of the 20th century, it finally settled on blue in 1976. As for the shade? It matches the blue on the American flag, according to the Economist. Citizens of many Caribbean and South American countries, including Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, also carry blue passports.

But why all of the dark shades? According to Bill Waldron of Holliston, a Tennessee-based passport-printing firm, darker colors are preferred because they can hide dirt, provide a nice contrast with the country crest, and appear more official.

【1】What is the principle of a country’s choosing colors of passports?

A．Picking a popular color at random.

B．Considering the likes of its people.

C．Matching the image of the country.

D．Following the international guidelines.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A．Turkey tries to seek a sense of belonging to the EU.

B．Member countries of ECOWAS are religious countries.

C．Green receives great popularity among Asian countries.

D．Members of the EU issue passports with a unique color.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “march to the beat of its own drum” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．To follow the trend of the times.

B．To behave in an individual manner.

C．To act differently to draw attention.

D．To display its strengths on purpose.

【4】What could be the best title of the text?

A．Why Your Passport Is in Dark Shades

B．What Your Passport Color Really Means

C．What Your Passport Can Tell about You

D．Why Your Passport Is Connected with Colors

24、

Dear Mr. Rupp,

The day I met you was the first day of high school. We liked each other immediately. You gave me a lot of advice over the next four years, like how I should get my ass to Berkeley where I belonged. I’m still there, by the way. I wish you were still around, too.

I remember your laugh, which would start with a rough guffaw(狂笑) and end with a hacking smoker’s cough that would make even the most rebellious (叛逆的) teenager decide to lay off the cigarettes. I remember the way you didn’t lower your standards, yet still refused to give up on us. You were tough on us, and we were tough on you. Love is tough sometimes.

The last time I wrote you a letter, it was 2005—four years after I graduated. I had just become a teacher, like you, and it had given me a new appreciation for the work you did with countless high school students over the years.

It’s hard to say what I’ll miss the most about you. There are simply too many memories to sort through those four years, and it hurts to think you’ll never read this letter. I want to believe that you knew how much you meant to your family, your students, your community, and your colleagues, but that would be a lot of realization to handle, even for you.

You changed the lives of everyone around you. Even now, you are reminding me to cherish life and its brevity and beauty, and to tell the people I love how much they mean to me before it is too late.

Dear teacher, dear mentor, and dear friend—I miss you and all that is about you. God bless you in Heaven.

To infinity and beyond,

Teresea
