A Man Named Lawrence

This is an act of kindness that happened to me one Sunday morning.

It was at two o’clock in the morning. We just came out of a club and were trying to find our   36   back to our city. As we were trying to   37   the bus stop, a man came to us and said he would show us   38   it was. Although we were a little worried, we had no choice but follow him. He told us he was a homeless man and that his name was Lawrence.

When we passed some city workers   40  the streets, they sprayed (喷溅) the homeless man. Lawrence told us that they always sprayed the   41   if they were "in the way". I didn’t know why they would do that. They were human beings,   42  , not cattle or objects.

This man had just gotten   43  in the middle of a cold night, but  44  shouting at the workers, he asked them, "How would you   45  if your father or grandfather were treated like this?" He then told us, "It’s   46  use shouting at them, because they just get angry. You’re better off saying something from the   47  ."

It is   48  ! The world could be so different if only we put our anger  49  , lowered our voices and tried to speak from our hearts.

He took us safely to the stop and on the way talked about everything. We   50  him and told him that we   51  have never found the place on our own. He said, "I have a son of your age, and I hope that if he were   52  , someone would help him."

Not only did Lawrence clear out all the fear and distrust in our hearts, he helped us find our way, in more than one ways.   53  , this man taught us kindness. There was   54  we could really do to repay him. The only thing I hope to do is to   55  other people out.

　　When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊)?On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.

　　Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.

The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages)of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统)because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.

　　The main benefits(or advantages)of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."

46. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_____ .

　　A. they should be easy to make friends with

　　B. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months

　　C. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February

　　D. they must reach the age of 60

47. Doctors _____ .

　　A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming actively

　　B. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming

　　C. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summer

　　D. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming

48. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that _____ .

　　A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue

　　B. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter

　　C. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high

　　D. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water

49. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for _____ .

　A. they can remain young            B. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter

　  C. they find it enjoyable and interesting  D. they might meet fewer troubles in life

50. The passage is mainly about _____ .

A.a group of cold-water swimming lovers

    B. the Polar Bears' life in New York

　  C. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimming

D. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club

第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

首先，请阅读下列关于名著简写本的介绍：

A. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (C.S. Lewis)

   Stepping into an old wardrobe, four English schoolchildren find themselves in the magical world of Narnia. On this delightful land, they find friends among the many talking creatures.

The children soon discover, however, that Narnia is ruled by the White Witch. Edmund, one of the children, falls under her power. Who can free Narnia? Only Aslan, the great and noble lion. He alone knows the Deeper Magic. But the children themselves must help fight the battle against the White Witch and those who serve her.

B. The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway)

   Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, hasn’t caught any fish in more than 80 days. Sailing far out from land, the old man hooks an enormous fish. That begins an agonizing three?day battle. First he struggles against the great fish. Then he must fight off the sharks that circle the little boat and threaten to eat his fish. Exhausted and bleeding, the old man arrives back at shore. But his fish, his beautiful fish . . .

Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for this superb story of strength and courage, of victory and regret.

C. A Wrinkle in Time (Madeleine Lingle)

   Meg’s father, a U.S. government scientist, has been missing for many months. He had been experimenting with time travel when he mysteriously disappeared.

   Now Meg, her little brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin will try to rescue him. But first they must outwit the forces of evil they encounter on their journey through time and space. Can they find Meg’s father before it’s too late?

   This novel is more than just a science?fiction adventure. It’s an exploration of the nature of our universe.

D. The Pearl (John Steinbeck)

   One day Kino, a poor Mexican pearl diver, finds a magnificent pearl. With it he dreams of buying a better life, new clothes and schooling for his son. Instead, it brings only evil. His wife pleads with him to get rid of it. "No," says Kino. "I will have my chance. I am a man." But when he kills a man who is trying to steal the pearl, Kino and his wife must run for their lives.

   This tale of dreams, justice and the power of greed is told simply and beautifully.

E. The Long Winter (Laura Ingalls Wilder)

   It’s winter, 1880—1881, on America’s northern prairies. Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls and their four girls stay near the kitchen stove to keep warm. Heavy snowstorms cut them off even from neighbors. With the trains stopped, no supplies can reach the town. Food and fuel are running out. Day after day the girls must grind wheat for bread and twist hay to burn. At times they nearly lose the battle to keep their spirits up.

This story provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of early American settlers.

F. Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bront??)

Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.

    However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors.

BEUING (Associated Press 美联社) —China has a growing middle class, a tradition of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educational toys should be easy.

    While China may be the world’s biggest toy-maker, many of the best are exported. Department stores here do not have enough high quality toys. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.

A US company, BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China.

    BabyCare works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals. People who join the company’s "mother club" can get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company’s educational toys and child-care books.

"We want to build a seven-year relationship with those people," said Matthew J. Estes, BabyCare’s president. "It starts during pregnancy, when the anxiety and needs are highest." BabyCare works on a one-to-one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by BabyCare advise parents, explain toys that are designed for children at each stage of development to age six.

BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.

    It is a new model for China and develops a market in young children’s education and health that no other companies are in.

56. What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?

A. Educational toys and foreign toy markets.

  B. Problems with China’s toy market and education.

  C. Reasons for pushing sales of educational toys in China.

  D. Baby population and various kinds of toys made in China.

57. Which of the following is a fact according to the passage?

  A. Club members buy BabyCare products for free child-care advice.

  B. Doctors in Beijing help in making BabyCare products.

  C. Parents are encouraged to pay $ 18 for club activities.

  D. BabyCare trains Chinese doctors at no extra cost.

58. BabyCare is developing its business in China by________.

A. opening stores in Beijing hospitals

B. offering 18-month courses on child-care

C. setting up children’s education centers

D. forming close relationships with parents

59. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?

  A. Mother’s Club in China.                 B. BabyCare and Doctors.

  C. American Company Model.          D. Educational Toys in China.

D

    Last week Jay McCarroll and The HSUS(The Humane Society of the United States)  made a bold fur-free statement on the runway, marking a new chapter for the fashion industry and animal protection. The encouraging response to McCarroll’s show confirmed that change is happening in fashion.

    McCarroll has good reasons for rejecting fur. Each year, tens of millions of animals, including dogs and cats, needlessly suffer and die to fuel the fur industry. But what did Jay McCarroll use in place of fur? “I have patchwork pieces that contain all sorts of combinations of fabrics. The rest is cotton, nylon, polyester . . . you name it. I even have some stuff made out of bamboo/cotton blend. Anything but fur and leather, ”he told Fashion Wire Daily.

    “So many people want to protect animals and live their lives without causing unnecessary cruelty. More than two thirds of Americans have pets, and we share a bond with animals every day. Saying no to fur can help millions of animals, and we want to show our respect to leading designers like Jay who embrace compassion as the fashion, ”said Michael Markarian, executive vice president of The HSUS. “It is great to see leaders in the fashion industry recognizing that the animals need their fur more than we do.”

63．Which of the following is true about Jay McCarroll?

    A. He is a famous fashion designer.

    B. He is the executive vice president of the HSUS.

    C. He is an editor of Fashion Wire Daily.

    D. He is the head of all animal protection organization.

64．What does “a new chapter” in line two, paragraph one mean?

    A. A new unit of a book.                                                 B. The beginning of a new trend.

C. The latest issue of a magazine.                         D. A newly established organization.

65．Which of the following is NOT recommended for clothing by Jay McCarroll?

A. Polyester.                       B. Bamboo.                         C. Leather.                 D. Patchwork pieces.

66．What do we learn from this passage?

    A. Human beings depend emotionally on animals.

    B. Fashion can go hand in hand with compassion for life.

    C. Fur is more effective than bamboo／cotton blend for clothing.

    D. Fur is more expensive than other materials for fashion designers.
