Perhaps the greatest challenge I faced during my undergraduate years was entering hospital as a medical student. Even now,I still remember what happened to me the first day I 1        the gynecological (婦科的) department. Wearing white gowns,my teacher and I began to diagnose and 2        patients at 8 a.m. At the beginning,patients came in and my teacher got very 3       . After each patient's case history had been asked,they were examined. While I was only observing how my teacher 4        the medical records and never went into the examination room. Half an hour later,my teacher began to 5        with me. "Why don't you come into the examination room?" she asked.

  I was a man of few words and I would 6        if I met a girl,let alone doing a gynecological examination. "I think it's too 7," I answered.

  "But you can't forget you are a doctor. If you are shy,you are not able to 8        in this department," she said seriously.

  At that moment,I felt very 9       . Just then another patient came,when my teacher was preparing to examine her,I 10 to walk into the entrance of the room. "Please pass me the medical gloves. ” My teacher had 11        me. I had to get into the room and obeyed her. She asked the patient to take off her dress,but the patient 12        ,

  "Why?" My teacher asked.

  "I think that man should go away" ， she pointed at me. "Never mind,he is our young doctor."

  Quite 13      ,the patient took off her dress and we finished the examination. To my surprise,my teacher asked me to 14        the examination by myself when the next patient came. Under much 15        I entered the examination room and pretended to be experienced. In fact,I was so 16        that my heart was beating very fast. I tried my best to calm down.

  "Have you ever 17        any patients before? You seem to be very young. ” The patient asked.

  "Yes,I've worked here only for two years and if there is any question,I will 18        that old doctor."

  Hearing my words,the patient seemed to be 19       ,and I continued the examination successfully. Going out of the room,I told all this to my teacher and she was 20        with me.

本篇講述了一個(gè)青年男學(xué)生在婦產(chǎn)科里當(dāng)實(shí)習(xí)醫(yī)生時(shí)的見(jiàn)聞、經(jīng)歷及心理感受。

1. C go into意為"踏人"。look into意為"朝……里面看，瀏覽，調(diào)査"；run into意為"與……相撞，偶然碰到，共計(jì)達(dá)"；burst into意為"闖人，爆發(fā)出"。

2. C穿上白色的外罩衣，我的老師和我開(kāi)始診斷并"治療"病人。treat此處意為"治療"。

confirm意為"確認(rèn)，證實(shí)"；register意為"登記，注冊(cè)"；exchange意為"交換"。

3. D病人來(lái)了，老師"忙"了起來(lái)。不會(huì)是"心煩意亂的(upset) "或"生氣的(annoyed) "，也不會(huì)是"遺憾的(sorry) "。

4. B此時(shí)，我只是關(guān)注著老師"寫(xiě)下"病人的病情歷史。write down也可用作put down或set down,符合句意，put up意為"張貼"；make out 意為"辨認(rèn)出"；hand over意為"移交"。

5. A老師開(kāi)始與我交談起來(lái)了，下文即是他們談話(huà)的內(nèi)容。correspond + with意為"與......

通信，與... 相符"；associate  + with意為"與... 交往"；disagree + with意為"不同意，與……不一致"。

7. C作者認(rèn)為:作為一個(gè)男生，去為女人做婦科檢查，真是"太令人難堪的(embarrasing) "。從作者行文可以看出，作者此處不可能感到的是interesting或exciting。

8. A practise此處用作動(dòng)詞，意為"行(醫(yī)) ，執(zhí)(業(yè)) "，特別是醫(yī)生或律師等行業(yè)。

10. B我還是"遲疑不決"，不敢進(jìn)婦科房間里去為婦人做檢查。從下文可知，作者是進(jìn)了房間，老師看到了他，因此，不宜選fail to walk into,那是"未能走進(jìn)，沒(méi)有走進(jìn)"的意思。

11. C從此處作者用的時(shí)態(tài)——過(guò)去完成時(shí)可知，老師在發(fā)指令前已注意他進(jìn)了房間，而不是"已提醒了他"，"已告知了他"或"已認(rèn)出了他"。

15. B stress此處用作不可數(shù)名詞，意為"緊張，壓力"，即：我非常緊張地進(jìn)了婦科病房。

confusion意為"困惑"；sorrow意為"悲哀"； consideration意為"思考慮"，皆不合文意。

16. C作者此時(shí)是相當(dāng)?shù)?緊張(nervOUS) "。

17. A病人可能也看出了作者的緊張，因而有此一問(wèn)：你曾"檢查過(guò)(examined) ……";C項(xiàng)assist意為"協(xié)助"；D項(xiàng)saved意為"拯救"，皆不合文意。

18. D作者坦誠(chéng)相告:你若有問(wèn)題，我可以去"向老醫(yī)生咨詢(xún)"。

A項(xiàng)convinced意為"使…… 信服"；B項(xiàng)acknowledge意為"答謝，承認(rèn)"；C 項(xiàng)意為"檢查，視察"。

19. A病人聽(tīng)到我的話(huà)后,感覺(jué)"放松了"。

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

   Net Library is a library that lends out digital books. It treats a digital like a paperback copy. It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income.

  From the consumer's point of view,this means that if more than five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel,other people who request that book will get a message saying the title can't be found.

  It's a model many publishers seem to have embraced. More than 350 publishers gave the company rights to hand out their digital works,and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money in to the company. The California public libraries and about 1,800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.

  Some librarians criticize the New Library model. Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital works,which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.

  Keller and some other librarians argue for the ebook vision set forth by E-Brary. E-Brary is starting a service that lets us users read books for free.

  But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to print out material or copy and paste it into a different file or tries to download copy onto a computer.

  Christopher Warnock,chief executive of E-Brary,believes most consumers won't want to buy entire books,only the parts that interest them.

  "There's not really a lot of good in owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it. It doesn't make sense," he said.

(   ) 1. How do publishers get money from the Net Library?

   A. They get money by cutting the cost of the books.

   B. They share the money with the Net Library.

   C. They get the money from the readers.

   D. They get money from selling their books to the Net Library.

(   ) 2. The underlined word "embraced" in the 3rd paragraph means         .

   A. taken something willingly   B. disliked something badly

   C. tried out something hard   D. held something tightly

(   ) 3. From the 2nd paragraph we can see consumers         .

   A. don't like other people borrowing books

   B. don't care if they are charged money

   C. enjoy the service of the Net Library

   D. complain about the limited number of the new books

(   ) 4. What does the last paragraph mean?

   A. E-Brary is not a good library for the consumers.

   B. There is no need for consumers to have a whole book.

   C. Net Library is not a good way for the consumers.

   D. It's reasonable to charge the consumers money for copying some pages.

   Breaking the Code One school night this month I walked quietly up to Alexander,my 15-year-old son,and touched his cheek gently in a manner I hoped would seem casual. A year ago he would have ignored this disturbance but now he reacted impatiently and leaned back to his computer screen.

  I made a mistake：breaking into my teenager's personal space. "The average teenager has pretty strong feelings about his privacy," Lara Fox and her friend Hilary Frankel told me. Ms. Frankel and Ms. Fox,both17,are the authors of Breaking the Code,a new book that seeks to bridge the generational divide between parents and adolescents. It is being promoted by its publisher as the first selfhelp guide by teenagers for their parents,a kind of "Kids Are from Mars,Parents Are from Venus'1 that explains the language and actions of teenagers. The girls dealt with issues including hanging out late,money,school pressures,smoking etc.

  Personally,I welcome their opinions. The most common missteps (失策) in interacting with teenagers arise from the war between parents exercising their rights to know what goes on under their roof and teenagers firmly guarding their privacy. Teenagers can be quick to interpret their parents' remarks and respond with anger that masks their vulnerability (脆弱) . Ms. Fox said," What we want above all is your approval. Don't forget,no matter how much we act as if we don't care what you say,we believe the things you say about us."

  Nancy,a New York childraising expert said she didn't agree with everything the authors suggested but found their arguments reasonable. "When your kids are saying, ' You don't get it,and you never will , ，there are lots of ways to respond so that they will listen and that is what the writers point out."

  "My parents helped me see that,”Ms. Fox told me,"even though they used to stay out late and ride their bicycles to school,times have changed and the way parents educate children is different. These days there is a major fear factor in bringing up kids. Parents worry about their child crossing the street."The writers said they hoped simply to throw light on teenage thinking.

(   ) 1. Why does the author mention the book"Kids Are from Mars,Parents Are from 'Venus17？

   A. It is one of the bestsellers.

   B. It is also written by the two girls.

   C. The two books have the similar theme.

   D. The two books have different opinions.

(   ) 2. The underlined sentence" You don't get it,and you never will" in the 4th paragraph implies that         .

   A. the teenagers don't want to admit their weakness

   B. the teenagers think that their parents will never understand them

   C. the parents do not necessarily force into the world of their children

   D. the generation gap cannot be shortened despite their parents' efforts

(   ) 3. It can be inferred from the last paragraphs that         .

   A. teenagers should guard their privacy

   B. Nancy totally agrees with the two girls' opinions

   C. parents are more concerned about children's safety

   D. the two girls have obtained numerous support from the public

(   ) 4. According to the two girls,teenagers nowadays are         .

   A. independent   B. intelligent   C. sensitive   D. inconsiderate

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

  Recently people have been witnessing the popularity of Korean serials in China. Many Korean serials have been showed on CCTV-8 even CCTV-1,let alone other local channels. And it is hard to get through a day without some talk about Korean serials. They enjoy high watching rate and have profound influences on people.

  My grandmother used to be strongly against watching TV,and insisted that TV did little good to people,especially the youth. But from unknown time,grandmother became interested in watching TV,and now and then,she would talk about the actors and plot with me. Frequently,she would be seated in front of the TV waiting for her favorite Korean serials. This summer I also felt deeply about the popularity of Korean serials,thereafter,I asked why. Basically,they are the visual effects,the plot,and the music that contribute to the phenomenon.

  First of all,Korean serials are eyecatching. They usually have handsome actors and beautiful actresses. Zhang Dong Jian's gentlemanship and An Zai Xu's fascinating eyesight catch thousands of young females' hearts,while young males greatly appreciate Song Hui Qiao's elegance and Jin Xi Shan's beauty. Regardless of their skills and other factors like the plot,the actors function effectively in keeping a watching record.

  In addition,they get marvelous pictures,from which we enjoy changeable seasons and places of interest in Korea. Blue sky and white cloud signify (represent) good state of mind of the characters,and drizzling weather and red umbrella intensify romantic impression. So watching them is just like enjoying free trips.

  Then comes to the plot of Korean serials,which can attract people of various ages. Most Korean serials have supporting characters who behave like either Cinderella's sisters or BaoYu's father,so the main characters,as a result,would have to suffer and experience a lot before their final weddings. Some people argue that the story between the main characters maybe too romantic to believe,however,these people seem to neglect to take into account that their love is what most young people are actually longing for. So,serials of this kind are young people's favorite.

  Quite a number of our serials fail to consider many factors other than love,and the case in point is Qiong Yao's work,in which love seems to be the only thing in life. However,Korean serials take friendship and family relationship as well into the plot,and these are the very things that attract people in both middle and old ages,as they make the serials humorous,reliable,and close to ordinary audience.

  Still,another point is about music. Though young people today are crazy about Jazz or Rap music as they express ideas of the youth,Korean music may be not inferior to them. In this Hip-Hop world,smooth and lyric Korean music is like spring breathes,it calms young people down and warms people's hearts. Even if people know little about the words,just to enjoy the music is not a bad thing.

(   ) 5. The writer took his grandmother as an example to show that        .

   A. she was free from her housework nowadays

   B. the influence of the Korean serials was overflowing

   C. the children have grown up and films won't do them bad

   D. she can enjoy the smooth and lyric Korean music instead of Jazz or Rap

(   ) 6. The writer seems to believe that our serials such as Qiong Yao's work fail to reach the same popularity as Korean serials mainly because        .

   A. our music is inferior to theirs

   B. our actors are not so eyecatching

   C. the pictures in Korean serials are more breath taking

   D. the plot of Korean serials attracts people of various ages

(   ) 7. What is mainly discussed in this passage?

   A. The romantic factor of the Korean Serials.

   B. The effective use of the language in the film.

   C. The popularity of Korean Serials in China.

   D. The cultural impact of the Korean Serials.

(   ) 8. From this passage we can conclude that the writer's attitude towards the Korean Serials is        .

   A. affirmative   B. negative

   C. neutral   D. indifferent

  Having visited my two children,I left the hospital and headed for the grocery store,truly exhausted. Today I had passed CPR(嬰兒心肺復(fù)蘇術(shù)) exam required before I could take 8-week-old Joel home from the hospital. However,I still worried about performing CPR in a moment of crisis.

  For the past several days,I'd been trying to accept my 6-year-old daughter Jenna's diagnosis,juvenile diabetes (兒童糖尿病) .In addition to the CPR exam,I'd spent the day reviewing how to test Jenna's blood and give her insulin (豉島素) shots. Now I was buying the food to balance the insulin that would sustain Jenna's life.

  I grabbed my purse,locked the car and went into the store. The first thing I needed to pick up was a grain box,but it had to be "sugar free"，so I chose a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes and continued shopping.

  Eventually,I walked down the canned fruit and juice section looking for apple juice. I wasn't sure how much I would need to keep Jenna's sugar up. I grabbed a couple sixpacks and placed them in my cart. Frustrated by feelings of total inadequacy,I crumpled up (揉鈹) my grocery list,and started crying.

  "Honey,are you all right?" a gentle voice asked. Absorbed in my own thoughts,I hadn't even noticed the woman shopping alongside of me. "Honey,are you a little short of cash?" she asked me.

  I slowly dropped my hands from my face and looked into eyes of the silvery haired woman. "I have enough money. I'm here shopping for groceries so that I can bring my children home from the hospital tomorrow. " I said.

"Home from the hospital!What a celebration,you should have a party！”

  This stranger took my grocery list,smoothed it out,and became my personal shopper. She stayed by my side until each item on my list was checked off. Then with a hug and a smile,she sent me on my way.

  While dragging the groceries into my house I realized the lesson this woman had taught me. "My kids are coming home from the hospital！" I shouted with joy. "Joel is off life support. Jenna and I can learn how to manage her diabetes and give her shots properly. " I giggled (唂唂地笑) to myself. "I have a reason to celebrate！"

(   ) 5. Why did the author cry while shopping?

   A. She had no money to buy groceries for her children.

   B. She was so tired that she couldn't continue shopping.

   C. She felt herself unable to meet life's challenges.

   D. With no family to accompany her,she felt extremely lonely.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

 Baseball is America's national sport. So it is not unusual that many popular expressions come from baseball. But first,let me explain a little about the game.

Each baseball team has nine players. The pitcher of one team throws the ball to a batter from the other team. The batter attempts to hit the ball. If he misses,it is called a strike. If a batter gets three strikes,he loses his turn at bat and is called out. The batter also is out if he hits the ball in the air and an opposing player catches it. But if the batter hits the ball and it is not caught,the batter tries to run to one or more of the four bases on the field. The batter can run to all four bases if he hits the ball over the fence or out of the ballpark. Such a hit is called a homerun.

  Now,here are some common expressions from baseball. Someone who is "on the ball" is intelligent and able to do a good job. But a person who " threw a curve ball" did something unexpected. Someone who " steps up to the plate" is ready to do his or her job. A "pinch hitter" takes the place of someone else at a job or activity.

  Sometimes I have to give information quickly,without time to think it over. Then I would say something "right off the bat". If someone is doing an extremely good job and is very successful,you might say he or she is " batting one thousand".

  If I say I want to "touch base" with you,I will talk to you from time to time about something we plan to do. I might say I "touched all the bases" if I did what is necessary to complete a job or activity. And if I " covered my bases" I was well prepared. However,someone who is "way off base" did something wrong or maybe even dishonest or immoral. A person with strange ideas might be described as "out in left field".

  Finally,when a situation changes completely,we say "that is a whole new ballgame".
