【題目】閱讀短文,回答下列問(wèn)題。
A
Although he will always be remembered for starring “Superman,” the greatest role of actor Christopher Reeve's life was as a champion of sufferers of spinal cord (脊椎) injuries and an supporter of stem cell (干細(xì)胞) research.
Unlike the man of steel, he wasn't faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than an engine and he couldn't leap tall buildings in a single bound. But the courage and determination Reeve showed in trying to overcome his paralysis (癱瘓) from a 1995 horse-riding accident went beyond any of the achievements of the comic book hero.
“He became a real-life Superman. His heroism, his courage was extraordinary,” Colin Blakemore, the chief executive of Britain's Medical Research Council said. “Like many people who suffer some terrible injuries, Christopher Reeve was totally changed by that experience and brought the kind of energy and enthusiasm that made him successful as a film star to an entirely different issue, with huge effect.”
Reeve, 52, died of heart failure on October 10, 2004 after having treatment for an infected pressure wound without realizing his dream of walking again. But in the nine years since his accident, he made personal progress to regain respect and admiration, founded the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, a non-profit research organization, and used his fame to raise millions of dollars for research into spinal cord injuries.
He also provided hope and inspiration to other patients and made speeches to support scientists to be allowed to conduct stem cell research in the hopes of eventually curing paralysis and other illnesses such as diabetes and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
“He has been our champion. If you think of spinal injuries, you automatically recall a picture of Christopher Reeve,” said Paul Smith, executive director of the Spinal Injuries Association in England. It is because of Reeve that spinal cord injuries and stem cell research are so widely discussed, according to Smith. The fact that it happened to Reeve showed it can affect anyone, even Superman.
Reeve did not live long enough to see whether stem cell research could help restore movement to the paralyzed. The research is still in its early days and no one knows what advances it may bring.
(1)Which of the following words can best describe the characteristics of Reeve?
A.strong-willed and caring.
B.tough and persuasive.
C.caring and reliable.
D.sympathetic and considerate.
(2)The purpose of paragraph 2 is to show us that .
A.Reeve was not as capable as the image he acted in his film
B.the image of Superman created by Reeve will always be remembered
C.Reeve is no more than an ordinary person when he was faced with paralysis
D.the inspiring image in Reeve’s real life was even greater than that in his film
(3)Reeve made the following contributions to the scientific research except .
A.setting up a non-profit research organization
B.winning public respect and admiration by overcoming obstacles
C.influencing the world by making speeches on stem cell research
D.struggling for the permission to conduct stem cell research
(4)It can be implied from the passage that .
A.Reeve remained optimistic after suffering from paralysis
B.stem cell research has long been a controversial subject
C.paralysis can happen to anyone no matter how strong he seems
D.some presently incurable illnesses are to be cured in the near future
(5)Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
I'm a TV show host. One Sunday, I took my 7-year-old daughter by the sea for lunch. On arriving at the beach, I saw JoJo, a wealthy man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open air cafe while I watched my daughter enjoy herself on the swings in front of us. Our conversation varied from business to entertainment to the economy.
Suddenly our conversation was interrupted by a stranger, who politely asked permission to speak to me. Often people want to tell me something about my controversial TV show, when I'm out on the streets.
He asked to speak to me privately, so we stood a bit away from my table. He said, “I'm James, 35 years old, father of a 7-year-old girl, who's very sick. She needs treatment abroad. The doctors said that if she was treated in the UK, she would probably survive. But I'm poor, so can you please help me?”
Speechless, I stared in the man's eyes full of tears and asked how I could help. After we talked for a while, I went to sit back at the table. JoJo asked me, “What's wrong with you? Your face changed.” I told him and he was very sorry for this family and said I had the means through the media to help him. Later we headed off to our destinations(目的地).
All weekend I thought about James, his daughter and his family. I even considered doing a special TV show to raise money for this sick child.
On Monday morning I was at the office after I finished presenting my show, when my secretary said a man needed to speak to me. It was JoJo. He walked into my office. Actually JoJo is so busy with his hotel business that I never imagined he had time to come and see me at the studios.
“Please, call the man with the sick child and tell him that I'll pay all expenses for his sick daughter's treatment.” JoJo said, with a check in his hand. “I've been married for 35 years. I wasn't lucky enough to have a child. I want to help this child now.” I picked up the phone to call James.
Now James' daughter is well and living a normal life, so James and his wife are the happiest couple on earth. JoJo often visits her. I'm so happy that there are so many good people on this earth.
(1)The writer went to the beach to ______________.
A.meet JoJo on purpose

D.He knew that the writer was a warm-hearted TV show host
(3)The writer was ________ when he heard that JoJo came to his office to see him.
A.excited
B.disappointed
C.surprised
D.annoyed
(4)Which is True according to the story?
A.The writer was cold-hearted and refused to give help.

D.JoJo was full of love and was willing to help the James.

【題目】Eating nuts and peanuts reduces the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke, a new study claims. Researchers found they were linked with a reduced risk of death from heart disease among people on low incomes.And they believe their findings suggest peanuts may be a cost-effective measure to improve cardiovascular(心血管) health because they are so cheap.
However, experts cautioned today that salt-covered nuts would not have the same health benefits. Nuts are rich in nutrients and peanuts, although classified as one bean, have nutrients similar to tree nuts.
The new study, led by Dr Xiao-Ou Shu, of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Tennessee, analysed various groups of people.One involved 72,000 low-income black and white men and women living in the US, the other 134,000 men and women living in Shanghai, China.In both groups, men ate more peanuts than women.In the US group, about half of the nuts consumed were peanuts, and in the Chinese group only peanut consumption was considered..
The researchers found that overall, eating nuts reduced the risk of death from heart disease.This was regardless of gender, race, body condition, smoking, alcohol consumption and conditions such as diabetes(糖尿病), high blood pressure and obesity.
In the US, the highest consumption resulted in a risk reduction of 21 per cent. In the Chinese group, it was 17 per cent.
Dr Shu said: 'We observed no significant associations between nut or peanut consumption and risk of death due to cancer and diabetes.She added the findings highlight the large public health impact of nut or peanut consumption in lowering deaths from heart disease - especially for their affordability.
The research was published in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Dr Mitchell Katz, deputy editor of the journal, added: 'Of course, peanuts are not really nuts - they are legumes since they grow in bushes, unlike tree nuts.'But who cares if they help us to live longer at an affordable price?'
(1)Peanuts are considered very useful in improving heart health mainly because______.
A.Nuts are rare.
B.People can afford to buy peanuts.
C.Peanuts are people's favorite.
D.peanuts and nuts are the same.
(2)According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?
A.Peanuts are classified as nuts.
B.The Chinese eat less peanuts than Americans.
C.Peanuts have no effects on cancer.
D.People care if they can live longer.
(3)In paragraph 2,the underlined word “cautioned”is probably the closest to____.
A.warned
B.announced
C.concerned
D.doubted
(4)Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Peanuts: a best nut
B.Peanuts: People's favorite
C.Peanuts: a medicine for all
D.More peanuts, fewer deaths.
