The song made her   39  to the days when she was Lauren’s   40 ．As a young   41 , Dorothy wanted to be a concert singer．She studied   42  in France, Italy and in the United States．“You can become a fine   43  in the future,” her teachers told her．“But you must be   44  to study hard and work for many years．There will be   45  time for anything but music in your life.”
Dorothy was   46  at that time and she was   47  that music was all she wanted or needed to   48  her life．For almost a year Dorothy   49  of nothing else．Then she   50  David, a young engineer travelling Europe．They soon fell in   51 ．David asked her to be his  52 ．Dorothy also wanted to marry David．But she loved   53 , too．She didn’t know what to do．David was against her being a singer．He said, “If you want to be a singer, you must forget about getting married．You can’t   54  do both.” Thus her days were gone and would never return.
Now Lauren became a singer instead of her, which was her   55 .

Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales (童話(huà)）
The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained ?10,000 with a cutting from the Braunschtveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag； similar plain white anonymous (匿名）envelopes, each containing ?10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.
The envelopes keep coming, and so far at least ?190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper’s own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschweiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of ?500 inside , with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.
"I was driving when I heard the news,” Claudia Neumann, the boy’s mother, told DerSpiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road； I was speechless. ”
The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible .and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.
“For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing," Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.
Henning Noske, the editor of the Braunschweiger Zeitung, said： “Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know. ” However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city’s hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.
小題1:The Braunschweiger Zeitung is the name of             .
A．a(chǎn) churchB．a(chǎn) bankC．a(chǎn) newspaperD．a(chǎn) magazine
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?

小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that           .

A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ￡100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, "Who would like to have this ￡100 bill?" The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said, "I am going to give this bill to one of you, but first, let me do this." He then made this bill into a ball. Then he said, "Who wants it?" Hands went into the air.
"Well," he said, "What if I do this?" and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, "Who still wants it?" Hands went back into the air.
"My friends," he said, "You've learned a valued lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it didn't go down in value. It was still worth ￡100.
Many times in our lives, we're dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value. You are always valuable to those who love you.

Dr. Jack M. Gwaltney, Jr. a professor at the University Of Virginia School Of Medicine infected six student volunteers with virus, the most common cause of colds. A few days later, when they were coughing and sneezing, he gathered 37 more people and divided them into three groups. Group 1 members spent three days and nights in the same room with one of the infected students, separated by a screen so they couldn't touch one another. Group 2 sat around a table while an infected volunteer talked, coughed and sang to them. Group 3 held hands with an infected student for ten seconds, and then touched their own noses or eyes.
Although most scientists at the time, the mid-70s, believed colds were spread by virus-laden droplets spread through the air when infected people coughed or sneezed, Gwaltney suspected physical contact might play an important role. Sure enough, of the 15 people who had touched a student volunteer, 11 became infected—compared with only one of those who had been sitting at the table, and none who had spent three days and nights together.
"The best evidence we have is that hand-to-hand contact is the most efficient way of transmitting virus," says Gwaltney. The study was one of a series that helped establish Gwaltney's reputation as a leading authority. Dr. Robert Couch says, "It would not be inappropriate to call him Mr. Common Cold."
When Gwaltney is asked how close scientists are to finding a cure, he replies: "If you mean ‘get rid of’, I don't think we're going to be able to do that with cold viruses any time soon. But if you look in the dictionary, you'll see that 'cure' is explained as a successful treatment. And we're not just getting more effective at treating the symptoms (癥狀)—we're getting at the root cause too. "
小題1:Dr. Jack M. Gwaltney conducted the experiment in order to__________.
A．find out the most common cause of colds
B．infect the student volunteer
C．find out the role physical contact plays in the common colds
D．find out the role virus-laden air plays in the infection of colds
小題2:The result of the experiment shows that ___ plays an important role in the infection of colds.
A．sneezing at the infected person
B．touching the infected person
C．sitting together with the infected person
D．talking with the infected person
小題3:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Dr. Gwaltney was sure that hand-to-hand touch is the cause of the common cold.
B．Only one of the people who had spent three days and nights together became infected.
C．Dr. Gwaltney conducted many an experiment as to the cause of colds.
D．Dr. Gwaltney tested altogether 43 volunteers to see how they could develop colds.
小題4:Mr. Common Cold is______.
A．a(chǎn) newly-found virus
B．a(chǎn) nickname (綽號(hào)) of respect to Dr. Gwaltney
C．a(chǎn) method to cure colds
D．a(chǎn) way by which the other scientists laughed at Dr. Gwaltney
小題5:When Dr. Gwaltney gives a reply in the end of the passage, he means that______.
A．they have found the fundamental cause of colds
B．they have managed to wipe out the cold viruses
C．they have meant to experiment more
D．they have made much progress in dealing with colds

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解


Disease, poverty, hate, love—Charles Dickens’ stories opened his readers eyes to the most important themes of his age. Two hundred years on, his stories still speak volumes across the world, proving that Dickens’ legacy(遺產(chǎn)) was far greater than just “great literature”
February 7 marks the 200th anniversary of the writer’s birthday. To mark this date, BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modern world. Let’s take a look at two of them.
A white Christmas
Dickens is described as “the man who invented Christmas”—not the religious festival, but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today. In the early 19th century, Christmas was barely worth mentioning, according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt. The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day – unthinkable in the West nowadays, when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off.
Many people believe that Dickens’ popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come. In his classic novel, A Christmas Carol, he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas, but also painted a picture of glowing warmth –“ home enjoyments, affections and hopes”.
In his biography of Dickens, Peter Ackroyd wrote: “ Dickens can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modern idea of Christmas.”
“Dickensian” poverty
Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian (the period during British Queen Victoria’s reign from 1837 to 1901) London.
He helped popularize the term “red tape” to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy（官僚作風(fēng)） in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and poorer members of society.
“Dickensian” has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty. In 2009, when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about deprivation in some areas of Britain, she did not use words like “terrible” or “horrific”, but rather described it as “l(fā)ife mirroring the times of Dickens”. 
小題1:What is the main idea of the article?
A．An introduction to Charles Dickens’ classic novels.
B．Charles dickens’ impact on the world.
C．Charles Dickens’ amazing characters.
D．Why Charles Dickens is popular across the world.
小題2:Why is Dickens called “the man who invented Christmas”?
A．Because he created the religious festival.
B．Because many of his novels have something to do with Christmas.
C．Because one of his novels helped to shape Christmas celebrations.
D．Because he was the first man to have proposed celebrating Christmas.
小題3:According to the article, the phrase “red tape” refers to _______.
A．rules or procedures that are required to accomplish a task
B．a(chǎn) situation in which poor members of society are hurt.
C．conflict between people in power and weaker people
D．pointlessly time-consuming official procedures

This is a real life story of the engineers building the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, USA back in 1870. The bridge was completed in 1883, after 13 years. In 1869, a creative engineer named John Roebling was   16  by an idea to build a spectacular bridge   17  New York with the Long Island.   18 , bridge-building experts throughout the world thought that this was impossible and told Roebling to forget the idea.
Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. After much discussion and persuasion he   19  to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge   20 could be built. The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway, a tragic accident took the life of John Roebling. Washington was also injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which   21  him not being able to talk or walk.
  22  his handicap, Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning   23  to complete the bridge and his mind was still as   24  as ever. He didn’t want to   25 . Suddenly an idea   26  him. All he could do was move one   27  and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this, he   28  developed a code of communication with his wife.
For 13 years Washington tapped out his   29  with his finger on his wife’s arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands for his determination not to be   30 by circumstances. It stands too as a monument to the love and   31  of his wife who for 13 years long   32  decoded（解碼）the messages of her husband and told the engineers what to do.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die attitude that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and achieves a(n)   33  goal. Often when we face obstacles in our day-to-day life, our hurdles(障礙) seem very small in comparison to what many others have to face. The Brooklyn Bridge shows us that   34  that seem impossible can be realized with determination and persistence(堅(jiān)持), no matter what the   35 are.
