【題目】(Reuters) --- A stampede（蜂擁） killed at least 36 people during New Year's Eve celebrations in Shanghai, authorities said, but the police denied reports that it was caused by people rushing to pick up fake money thrown from a building overlooking the city's famous waterfront.

It was the worst disaster in the modern city since 58 died in an apartment building fire in 2010.

The cause of the crush has still to be confirmed, though state media and some witnesses have said it was at least partly aroused when people rushed to pick up coupons that looked like bank notes.

A man named Wu said the fake money had been thrown down from a bar above the street as part of the celebrations.

"This incident happened after the stampede," police said in a brief statement, without saying what the real cause was.

Another witness said there had been a problem away from the area where the fake bills were thrown, with people trying to get on to a raised platform overlooking the river.

Xinhua news agency said that people had been trampled on after falling down on the steps up to the platform.

Authorities had shown some concern about crowd control in the days leading up to New Year's Eve. They recently canceled an annual 3D laser（激光器） show on the Bund, which last year attracted as many as 300,000 people.

On New Year's Eve, Beijing also canceled a countdown event in the central business district, Chinese media said, due to police fears about overcrowding.

The Shanghai government said on its official microblog that an inquiry had begun, and that all other New Year events had been canceled.

In 2004, 37 people died in a stampede in northern Beijing, on a bridge at a scenic spot, during the Lunar New Year holiday.

【1】According to the passage, why did people go to the Bund?

A. To meet their old friends and relatives.

B. To watch an annual 3D laser show.

C. To celebrate the New Year’s Eve.

D. To pick up bank notes.

【2】What can be inferred according to the passage?

A. People like 3D laser show better than any other events.

B. Some possible measures had been taken by authorities.

C. The local government had shown their worry about overcrowding.

D. The celebrations in Beijing were influenced by this stampede.

【3】What’s the passage about?

【題目】B

“Will I be able to work until I’m 70?” Those were my first words when I learned in 2014, at the age of 50, that I had Parkinson’s disease. I had not planned for that question to pop out of my mouth, but it did. Perhaps I was worried about my money. The size of my retirement account makes early retirement seem impossible. But mainly I think I asked that question because work, for better or worse, has become central to my identity. The idea that my career as a historian would end soon felt truly disturbing.

As professors, we often complain about our jobs: we teach too much, we are paid too little, and the library needs more books. But I can’t imagine a better career. We teach young people, and we find the time to read and write about topics we love. We receive a degree of respect. Even my doctor calls me “Professor”.

And, most importantly, we have relative job security. When I received my diagnosis, my question about keeping my job was not ridiculous. In a market-based social system, the threat of job loss is terrifying. Imagine the pressure faced by a Parkinson’s sufferer with no job security. It could be disastrous for someone who needs manual dexterity at work, such as a construction worker.

In contrast, I am lucky: I have tenure(終身職位), which gives me a feeling of security that even popular entertainers may lack. Tenure does not guarantee me a job as long as I can perform y duties.

Will I be able to work until I’m 70? I think so. I know that my family and I will face new challenges, but I don’t expect a decline in my job performance. My students may find my appearance a bit odd, but if they do, then that will be a “teachable moment”.

【1】What did the author worry about first when he learned he was ill?

A. He didn’t have enough money for an operation.

B. The disease would ruin his career.

C. He wouldn’t live until the age of 70.

D. He would be forced to retire early.

【2】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Professors always complain about their jobs.

B. Professors have no time to do anything else but teach.

C. The author doesn’t know what he would do if he were not a professor.

D. The author thinks he is respected by others because of his work.

【3】The underlined phrase in the third paragraph, “manual dexterity” probably means _____________.

A. the ability to use one’s hands

B. the ability to see clearly

C. the ability to use one’s mind

D. the ability to solve problems

【4】 The best title for this passage is _________________________.

A. Losing My Career to Illness

B. The Threat of Job Loss

C. Keep Away from Disease

D. The Pressure of Parkinson’s
