                                                            Organ Transplantations
     There were many horror stories in the 19th century about crazy (疯狂的) doctors who took a part of one
man's body and put it in that of another man's. The writers did not think it was possible, but in today's world
it is possible with some parts of the body-hearts, for example. But how far can this go in the future? Will
people be able to have new arms or legs, or even heads? It may not be crazy. We already have heart transplants
(移植), and artificial (人造的; 假的) arms, legs and hands. We have artificial muscles (肌肉) that use air to
move. We have computers which we put inside people to help make their bodies work. We can make artificial
ears, artificial eyes like small television cameras, and artificial throats, which make voices like the real thing. Mr.
White, a professor in a university in the United States says it will not be long before we have head transplants.
     "We can do this with the technology (技术) we have now. There is only one big problem-when we cut off
the old head, the nerves (神经) which join the rest of the body to the head is also cut and broken. The new head
could hear and see, but body could not move. But in the future, scientists will be able to make the head grow its
own nerves and join itself to the nerves in the body, like a plant grows into the soil."
     When will all this happen? In a few hundred years perhaps, says Professor White, who also says that his
ideas are as crazy as the ideas of the man who said a hundred years ago that it was possible to walk on the
moon.

1. The writers in the 19th century thought _____, so they wrote many horror stories.

A. it was fearful to have transplants
B. it was impossible to have transplants
C. some crazy doctors killed a lot of people
D. some crazy doctors injured a lot of people

2. Nowadays, the dream of transplanting some parts of a man's body _____.

A. has come true
B. is being studied by scientists
C. is being found out
D. hasn't been found out yet

3. With computers' help, _____.

A. scientists have had head transplants successfully
B. scientists can complete heart transplants and many other sophisticated (复杂的) operations.
C. scientists can easily complete head transplants
D. it will not be long before heart transplants can be done

4. It's difficult to have a head transplant nowadays because _____.

　　If you’re in charge of a project, the key to success is getting everyone to want to help you．As a director, I suggest, I gently push the actors in the direction I want them to go．

　　In the 1986 movie Nothing in Common, Jackie Gleason’s character, Max Basner, gets fired from his job as a clothing salesman．The scene, shot on a boat, shows Max’s hopelessness about being out of work．I was looking for some ways that would allow Max to show his feelings．

　　Jackie had far more experience at everything than I did, and at first I was frightened．What could I possibly tell “The Great One” about acting? Out of fear I decided to direct by suggestion, and I sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene．“So Max is sad, right?” I said．Gleason nodded．

　　“And he’s probably still carrying his pens with his name on them－the ones he used to hand out to his customers, right?”

　　Gleason nodded．

　　“So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired?”

　　He was silent for a moment．“Why don’t I throw them overboard?”

　　I stood up and turned toward the crew．“Hey, everybody, Jackie has a wonderful idea．Let’s shoot it．”

　　After filming the scene, Gleason called me over and said with a smile, “Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am I going to have tomorrow?”

　　You and your team can discover the answers to problems together．When there are no prizes or gold stars for those who get the solution first, you’ll all benefit when everything turns out right．

Present or Future?

　　Americans are future-minded．They really live in the future．The present is just a way station．This enthusiasm for the future is really not shared even by all European countries．The French are known to be present-minded while the British are often called past-minded．For Japanese Zen followers, time is like a pool of water．Things just happen．There is no past, present or future．Egyptians are well known for their past mindedness．

　　I did not grow up with a telephone．So the Yellow Pages were something brand new for me when I first arrived in the U．S．．I still had the habit of going to a store only to find out that it didn't have what I needed．My wife used to ask, "Didn't you call before going there?" The concept of calling ahead of time requires planning and a future mind, while my upbringing was in a present-minded culture．

　　One thing my nuclear family enjoys when my mom visits is her cooking．So normally I ask my mom a couple of days in advance what things she needs for the upcoming meals．She is always sure that she has everything．The truth is that many times, in the middle of cooking, she will ask for items we don't have．That shows a present mind．You deal with it when you get there instead of doing advanced planning．

　　Listening to weather forecasts and then living your life accordingly is a sign of a future mind．Normally, when I get to work and see everyone walking around with their umbrellas, I figure that it will rain today．Here people are trained from their childhood to figure out at least that day's expected weather before leaving the house．I am normally missing my umbrella because it was not raining and the sky did not have dark clouds．Here my present mind gets me wetevery time．

　　Mainstream Americans have put inside themselves the clock to a degree which is beyond the comprehension of many cultures across the globe．So the annoyance many Americans face when working with people from other cultures is understandable．In today's dialogue, building the bridge to the 21st century may turn out to be easier than building bridges with other cultures, which may appear to be so foreign．However, they are vital partners for our interdependent life on this planet．

(1)

The author was most likely born in ________．
[　　]
A．	America
B．	France
C．	Britain
D．	Egypt

(2)

Which is true about the author?

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
First, let’s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it’s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.
If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.
36. The main purpose of this text is        .
A. to help the students to learn about university life
B. to persuade the students to attend lectures
C. to encourage the students to take part in discussions
D. to advise the students to choose proper majors
37. We can learn from the passage that university professors        .
A. spend about 5 hours on lectures each week
B. must join the students in the discussion sections
C. prefer to use textbooks in their lectures
D. require the students to read beyond the textbooks
38. A discussion section does NOT include        .
A. working under the guidance of university professors
B. talking over what the students have read about the courses
C. discussing the problems related to the students’ homework
D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture
39. According to the author, science majors        .
A. have to work harder than non science majors
B. spend less time on their studies than non science majors
C. consider experiments more important than discussions
D. read and write less than non science majors

第三部分：阅读理解：（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
(A)
What makes a house a home? A home is a place of companionship with people in it who love each other, who are harmonious (和谐的) and closer with one another than with those in the workplace or with classmates at school. A home is a place that’s so magnetic（有吸引力的） that it’s difficult to leave. In a home there is love, sharing and appreciation, and the members help one another.
I have seen families on the street. But if they live, sleep, talk, and eat together, they are a family, even if they are poorly off. You don’t need a roof to make a home. The truly homeless are some of the rich people who build multi-million-dollar houses and are too busy to really live in them. The truly homeless are those who have turned their home into a hotel lobby. The parents work and the children misbehave. They don’t talk and eat together every day. They rarely see each other. The truly homeless people are those with babysitters, caretakers, gardeners and maids. However, people are unaware of this, as they are too busy making money outside the home that they don’t live in. This is another way of looking at the rich and the homeless. Who is to be pitied?
Control of the computer and the Internet is also important to make a house into a home. If the computer is on all the time, the house turns into an office, even if everyone is at home. Many homes these days are just offices. Human communication has stopped. The computer eats up all the time that one should be giving to others within the home. Using the computer moderately gives us time for play and communication, not with a screen, but with other people.
56. Which of the following may serve as the best title for this passage?
A. How to make a house a home?
B. What makes a house a home?
C. Who are truly homeless?
D. What is a home for?
57. The purpose of the first paragraph is to _________.
A. tell us that where there is home there is love
B. tell us what people think a home is
C. tell us the author’s concept（理解）of home
D. tell us how to have a happy home
58. The underlined word “those” refers to ________.
A. people who build multi-million-dollar houses
B. people who have lost their family members
C. people who don’t spend time with the family
D. homeless families living on the street in America
59. Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?
A. A home is a place where you are willing to stay.
B. Even the poorest people can have a happy home.
C. Computers and the Internet are important for a happy home.
D. Sometimes it’s the rich that should be pitied.

     Wugging, or web use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using
Everyclick.com, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can
raise money every time they search, but it won't cost them a penny.
     Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supporting charity - 88% of full time
students have used the Internet to give to charity. This age group is often the least likely to have their own
income. 19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than ?5,000. With rising personal debt
levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings,
traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing (有感染力的) or possible.
     Beth Truman, a 21 year old recent university graduate, has used Everyclick.com to donate to her
chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the "wugging" movement grow in popularity with
students. "When you're at university you become more socially aware, but it's sometimes hard to give to
others when you have little money yourself," says Beth. "Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny."
     Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don't feel they
have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without
costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding.
     Everyclick.com works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and
images but users can decide which of the UK's 170,000 charities they would like to support through their
clicks. Everyclick.com then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, Everyclick.com is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.
1. What does "wugging"show According to the passage?
A. a website
B. a school organization
C. a student movement
D. a charity-related action
2. In the case of charity, Everyclick.com ______.
A. receives much money from students
B. offers valuable information to students
C. frees students of the financial worries
D. praises students for their money-raising
3. What does we think of the "wugging" movement?
A. It makes Everyclick.com popular in the UK.
B. It becomes easy to do charity because of it.
C. It results in students' more social awareness.
D. It helps students to save money.
4. From the passage, we can inferred that ______.
A. "wugging" is a win-win idea for both students and charities
B. most full time students do charity on the Internet every day
C. Everyclick.com helps students pay for the college education
D. Everyclick.com is the most successful search engine in the UK
5. What's the general idea of this passage?
A. "Wugging", a new popular term on the Internet.
B. More Britain charities benefit from the Internet.
C. Students raise money for charity by "wugging".
D. British people show strong interest in charity.
