20．Christopher Thomas，27，was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast．Diagnosed with diabetes（糖尿�。琓homas would need to inject himself with insulin（胰島素） three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage，blindness and even death．And if that weren't bad enough，he had no health insurance．
After a month of feeling upset，Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back．He left Canton，Michigan for New York，got a job waiting tables，nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar，and created diabeticrockstar．com，a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones-a place where over 1，100people share personal stories，information and resources．
Jason Swencki's son，Kody，was diagnosed with diabetes at six．Father and son visit the online children's forums together most evenings．"Kody gets so excited，writing to kids from all over，"says Swencki，one of the site's volunteers．"They know what he's going through，so he doesn't feel alone．"
Kody is anything but alone：Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States，with 24million diagnosed cases．And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages．These days，Thomas's main focus is his charity，F(xiàn)ight It，which provides medicines and supplies to people-225to date-who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses．Fight-it．org has raised about﹩23，000-in products and in cash．In May，Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean．
Even with a staff of 22volunteers，Thomas often devotes up to 50hours a week to his cause，while still doing his full-time job waiting tables．"Of the diabetes charities out there，most are putting money into finding a cure，"says Bentley Gubar，one of Rockstar's original members．"But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now．"

10．The recent publication of autobiographies by two of Britain's great scientists，biologist Richard Dawkins and physicist Stephen Hawking，is a wonderful opportunity to compare and contrast these two remarkable men．Surprisingly，they have rather more in common than we think．
Most striking is the similarity in their backgrounds．They were born in the early 1940s to middle class families---not wealthy but comfortably off，with a strong commitment to academic excellence and public service．Both families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University---and both succeeded，Dawkins studying zoology and Hawking physics．
Neither author has a very positive view of his early university life．Hawking describes the attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very anti-work，"You were supposed to either be brilliant without effort or fail．Hard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for．"He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student （本科生）．
Undergraduate life was somewhat more rewarding for Dawkins．Like Hawking，he wasn't particularly hard-working and never attended his lectures．But he found Oxford's system of weekly essay-based lessons with an academic tutor useful，"It was really only the tutorial system that educated me．"
For both men，scientific life really got going as postgraduates after 1962．Dawkins，who remained at Oxford，describes brilliantly the academic competition among the postgraduate students，which he believed helped push him to develop the ideas that formed the basis of his most famous book，The Selfish Gene．This volume transformed scientific thinking about Darwinism evolution．
Hawking，on the other hand，moved to Cambridge University after graduation，where his research into the universe would eventually make him the most famous physicists since Albert Einstein．He writes movingly about the disease which progressively crippled his entire body，leaving him unable to move and only able to communicate using a computer controlled by his eyes．Although communication is slow---he can write only 3 words a minute using the machine---his illness has not affected his mind or his research on space-time and origins of the universe．
Each book is recommended individually as a personal introduction to an important scientific thinker．Read together，they provide a superb background to the academic and social climate of postwar British research．
 
41．Which of the following describes a similarity in Hawking's and Dawkins'backgrounds？D
A．They were both from wealthy families．
B．They studied the same subject in university．
C．They graduated from the same secondary school．
D．They both came from families that valued good education．
42．Why did Hawking study very little as an undergraduate student？B
A．He preferred doing his own research and experiments．
B．Students considered it inappropriate to study too much．
C．The materials discussed in lectures were very easy for him．
D．He was more interested in making friends with his classmates．
43．According to Dawkins，what helped him develop his most important ideas？D
A．His hard work as an undergraduate．
B．The support he received from his family．
C．The excellent tutors at Oxford University．
D．The competition from other postgraduate students．
44．What can we reasonably infer about the two scientists from the passage？D
A．Dawkins worked much harder than Hawking as an undergraduate．
B．Hawking is more respected by the scientific community．
C．They knew each other during their studies a t Oxford．
D．Hawing has experienced more physical difficulties．
45．What is the function of the last paragraph？B
A．To state which book the writer prefers．
B．To recommend the reviewed books to readers．
C．To summarize the achievements of the two scientists．
D．To suggest the order in which the books should be read．

12．Hallmark  arrived in my hometown of Calcutta，India when I was 16．On Valentine's Day（情人節(jié)），I waited in line with many other teenagers just for a chance to get into the store．I remember wishing two things．One of them is that the good-looking boy whom I could see through the store window was picking out a gift for me．Unfortunately，Valentine's Day passed and I received nothing but a lecture from my father on how Western capitalism（資本主義） was ruining your culture．
The next Valentine's Day，I still didn't have a boyfriend，but I did receive a greeting card from a secret admirer．I can't remember what it exactly said inside the card，but it hardly mattered．I know I'm not the only one who's had the blues because of being single on Valentine's Day．
It's not just on Valentine's Day that I'm reminded of these feelings．One night，my friend and I were at the subway station in New York City waiting for the local to arrive．The station was mostly full of college students，and later an older couple walked in．Just at that moment，a street musician started playing She's Only a Woman to Me．The couple began dancing around the station and lost in their own world．On the train，I found myself recalling the time when I was with a date at the subway station，and there he picked me up in his arms like I was a ballerina（芭蕾舞女演員）．
My view of romance has changed from when I was 16in Calcutta to now，23，and living in Manhattan．This year，I won't focus all my romantic expectations on one particular day．I'll spend Valentine's Day with friends in New York City．But I won't try to hide somewhere or turn off my cellphone．Instead，I'll help my coupled-up friends pack for their weekend trips to Rome．

55．The underlined word"Hallmark"in Paragraph 1probably refers to aC．
A．city       B．street
C．store      D．man
56．We can infer that in the opinion of the writer's fatherB．
A．his daughter should have received a gift
B．people in India shouldn't celebrate Valentine's Day
C．people in India should welcome Western culture
