All that day November 27 I had a headache that just would not 17 ！ I never made it to the store， I suffered a stroke while driving drifting into oncoming 18 and was hit by a large truck nearly head on！ The 19 left me hanging partially out the driver's side door by my seat belt. I was 20 enough to release the belt. Fortunately， an offduty fireman was just across the street and 21 immediately.
Next I saw myself from just 22 my body as the sound of sirens （汽笛） came closer. Half of my body was bathed in what I can best 23 as a White and Silvery light， the other half of me the Blackest of Blacks！ I don't know why but something told me， that deepest of black was something no one could 24 from！
I then， off to my left heard a 25 basically chewing me out （責骂） for how I had lived my life to that point and that “GOD doesn't take 26 sitters.” The “voice” then stated “go back and experience the 27 you've caused to others！” 6 days later I awoke， and found out my heart had stopped en route to the hospital and that I nearly 28 ！

三、阅读理解（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）
A
The birth of each human being begins with a complex process of adaptation to the outside world. To successfully adapt to the outside environment the newborns must make many physiological and behavioral adjustments. They exert an enormous amount of energy establishing stability of different body systems， often in less ideal circumstances.
In the past few decades， hospitals have become the accepted environment for childbirth and post birth adjustment. The majority of infants born in Western civilization spend the first one to three days of their lives in the hospital environment. Recently， “roomingin” or accommodating the mother and her newborn in one room has become popular. Despite this shift away from nurseryfocused care， many newborns still spend a considerable portion of their hospital stay in the normal newborn nursery. Karraker explains that this occurs due to “... illness of either the mother or the infant， the mother's need for rest， avoiding infections when the mother receives visitors， and the mother's desire to be relieved of caretaking duties at times”. The hospital newborn nursery is designed and operated according to specific regulations or standards. These standards result in environmental conditions of bright， continuous light and a high level of noise. Hilton referenced Kosten and Van Os as stating that the recommended noise level in the hospital setting should be no more than 35 decibels （分贝） during sleep periods and 40 decibels when the client is awake. Keefe described the nursery environment as having a noise level of over 80 decibels for an average of 146.8 minutes per four hour period of observation. Keefe warns that an 80 decibel noise level is comparable to loud traffic noise. She found that the most striking and persistent noise was the sound of other infants crying.
The multiple adjustments that the newborn makes are challenging even in a quiet， noticeable environment. The previously described nursery environmental characteristics present additional challenges because newborns undergo profound physiological adjustments and are particularly vulnerable to hazardous environmental conditions.
Conditions such as excessive light and sound levels affect not only the infants' physiological processes but also their behavioral states. Recently， professionals studying newborns have focused their attention on newborn behavioral patterns. Thoman， Denenberg & Sievel wrote that “A newborn's state behaviors reflect both its own internal processes and external influences from the environment”. Stability of state organization over time appears to be an important characteristic of clinically healthy newborns. In their 1981 study of newborn state organization， Thoman and colleagues observed that the newborns who exhibited irregular or “poorly organized” state patterns all later developed conditions ranging from delayed development， aplastic anemia， and hyperactivity to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Obstetrical （助產） nurses assume a major responsibility for monitoring the childbirth adjustment in both the mother and her newborn. Nursing interventions designed to reduce or mask the impact of harmful stimuli in the nursery environment are desirable. Not only must the environment be beneficial to physiological inner adjustment but “...the pattern of infant state cycles must become harmoniously integrated with the reappearing features of the environment”. Few studies have examined the impact of such interventions on newborns in nursery settings. Research in this area is necessary because despite changes in policy related to “roomingin”， newborns continue to spend significant amounts of time in the nursery. 36. What does a newborn need after birth？
A. A clean environment.
B. A stable body system.
C. A stable adjustment.
D. A successful adaption.
37. According to Karraker， which of the following is RIGHT？
A. The mother and her newborn must be accommodated together.
B. The shortterm hospital environment is enough for the newborn.
C. The mother and her newborn should be forbidden to meet visitors.
D. The newborn can easily be infected by illnesses from visitors.
38. What is the most harmful noise to the newborn？
A. The traffic noise.
B. The environmental condition.
C. The infant crying.
D. The nurses' voice.
39. Which of the following can be the main idea of paragraph five？
A. Poor nursery conditions cause harm to newborns.
B. Environment mainly influences a newborn's behavior.
C. Importance of promoting stable state organization.
D. Poor organization develops poor behavioral patterns.
40. What can be inferred from the article？
A. Hospitals are most suitable for mothers and infants.
B. Roomingin is now quite popular around the world.
C. Current nursery environment is far from satisfactory.
D. Nurses should be responsible for infants' adjustment.

Great Moments in Physics！
The following concerns a question in a physics degree exam at the University of Copenhagen.
“Describe how to determine the height of a high building with a barometer （氣压计）.” One student replied： “You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the barometer， then lower the barometer from the roof of the high building to the ground. The length of the string plus the length of the barometer will equal the height of the building.” This highly original answer made the examiner so angry that the student was failed.
The student appealed on the grounds that his answer was also correct， and the university appointed an independent expert to decide the case. The expert said that the answer was indeed correct， but called the student in and allow him six minutes in which to give an answer using the basic knowledge of physics. For five minutes the student sat in silence， deep in thought. The expert reminded him that time was running out， to which the student replied that he had several answers， but couldn't make up his mind which to use. On being advised to hurry up， the student replied as follows： “Firstly， you could take the barometer up to the roof of the high building， drop it over the edge， and measure the time it takes to reach the ground. The height of the building can then be worked out from the formula H=1/2gt2. But bad luck on the barometer.”
“Or if the sun is shining， you could measure the height of the barometer， then set it on end and measure the length of its shadow. Then you measure the length of the high building's shadow， and then it is a simple matter of proportional （比例的） maths to work out the height of the high building.”
“Or if the high building has an outside emergency staircase， it would be easier to walk up it and mark off the height of the high building in barometer lengths， then add them up.”
“But since we are constantly being bored to exercise our mind and apply scientific methods， undoubtedly the best way would be to knock on the doorman's door and say to him： If you would like a nice new barometer， I will give you this one if you tell me the height of this building.”
The student was Niels Bohr， the only person from Denmark to win the Nobel Prize for Physics.
41. In the author's opinion， the student's answer is________.
A. not reasonable B. hard to understand
C. rather common D. very creative
42. How many methods did Niels Bohr offer to measure the high building？
A. 4. B. 3.
C. 5. D. 2.
43. The underlined word “ground” in the passage means________.
A. reasons B. surfaces
C. interests D. professors
44. The underlined sentence in the 4th paragraph suggests that________.
A. it is not a good idea to drop the barometer
B. you will fail the exam if you drop the barometer
C. the barometer will probably be broken into pieces
D. you may drop with the barometer

Sports is not only physically challenging， but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism （批評） from coaches （trainers）， parents， and other teammates， as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical， emotional， or psychological， and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can， for example， learn how to cooperate with others， make friends， and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware （realize）， at all times， that their feedback （反馈） to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find a flaw （缺陷） in themselves. Coaches and parents should also be cautious （careful） that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting， young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game， many parents and coaches focus on （pay more attention to） the outcome and find fault with youngsters' performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again， criticism can create high levels of stress （pressure）， which can lead to burnout.
45. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that________.
A. it can help them learn more about society
B. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves
C. it enables them to find flaws in themselves
D. it can provide them with valuable experiences
46. According to the passage parents and coaches should________.
A. help children to win every game
B. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports
C. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports
D. train children to deal with stress
47. The author's purpose in writing the passage is .
A. to persuade young children not to worry about criticism
B. to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to children
C. to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragement
D. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870， it was experiencing an economic boom， and the capital，Buenos Aires，attracted many people. Farmers and ranchers，called gauchos in Argentina， came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn't pay well，and many people felt lonely and frustrated with their new life in the city. As the unhappy gauchos and new immigrants mixed together in the poor parts of the city， the dance known as the tango evolved. The tango at the beginning was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets of Buenos Aires and at that time there were many fewer women than men，so if a man didn't want to be left out and wanted to practice the new dance， his only choice was to dance with another man. Groups of men would get together to practice so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. Gradually， the dance came into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became seen as being more respectable.
In Europe at this time， intense interest in dance from around the world was beginning. This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. Tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe on board the boats carrying beef from Argentina. They began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in the cabarets and cafes. Not everyone was for the new dance， however. In fact， it raised a few eyebrows among the more conservative members of society， who found the tango was a little too shocking. However， the dance did find enough supporters so that even the tango's many critics could not put an end to its spreading popularity.
In the early 1900s， dance masters in both Paris and London developed more modest versions of the tango to teach to their students. These students then carried the tango into the ballrooms of Europe. Two forms of the tango emerged at this time—the fluid， stylish Paris tango and the stiffer， more conservative British tango. Neither of these tamed tangos carried the raw passion of the original Argentinian tango though.
Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought to the tango to North America. However， Rudolf Valentino， who danced the tango in the 1921 film The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse， really contributed to the growth and popularity of the tango across America. The tango danced in the ballrooms of the United States closely resembled the stiff， proper British tango.
The tango reached Japan in 1926， thanks mainly to one man—Baron Tsunayoshi “Tsunami” Megata. This Japanese nobleman had been living in Europe for 6 years when he returned to Tokyo in 1926. When he returned to Japan， he took with him a handful of tango records and an excellent understanding of the Paris tango. Baron Megata wasted no time in setting up a dance academy in Tokyo in which he could teach his wealthy friends the tango and other popular ballroom dances of Europe. Around 1930， British dance masters began setting up their own dance schools in Kobe， and the British tango soon became the most popular version of the tango danced in Japan. Baron Megata is reported to have said， “Whenever you dance， remember you should feel as though you are in love with your partner， even if you have just met the person.” The popularity of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world， including Asia. In Japan， the 1996 film Shall We Dance？ which featured flamenco and tango dancing， led to a dance boom around the country. In 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador to promote tango dancing throughout South Korea. In addition， tango festivals are now held annually in Japan and Korea.

How we can build up a harmonious family
A harmonious family is essential to our personal development and our physical and mental health. A harmonious family is always full of warmth， love and laughter. Parents and children love and show concern for each other. They also respect and understand each other. If a child grows up in a harmonious family， he is more likely to be cheerful and optimistic. Otherwise， he may be miserable and pessimistic. Meanwhile， parents in a harmonious family are sure to live happily and more healthily.
Since a harmonious family plays a very important role in our life， it is up to every family member to contribute to the building of such a family. First of all， parents should be a role model for their children and pay more attention to their own words and behavior. Besides， they must trust their children and often communicate with them.
As children of the family， we should also respect and understand our parents， and try to share their burdens. If we do so， our home will always be harmonious. （156W）

A
The birth of each human being begins with a complex process of adaptation to the outside world. To successfully adapt to the outside environment the newborns must make many physiological and behavioral adjustments. They exert an enormous amount of energy establishing stability of different body systems， often in less ideal circumstances.
In the past few decades， hospitals have become the accepted environment for childbirth and post birth adjustment. The majority of infants born in Western civilization spend the first one to three days of their lives in the hospital environment. Recently， “roomingin” or accommodating the mother and her newborn in one room has become popular. Despite this shift away from nurseryfocused care， many newborns still spend a considerable portion of their hospital stay in the normal newborn nursery. Karraker explains that this occurs due to “... illness of either the mother or the infant， the mother's need for rest， avoiding infections when the mother receives visitors， and the mother's desire to be relieved of caretaking duties at times”. The hospital newborn nursery is designed and operated according to specific regulations or standards. These standards result in environmental conditions of bright， continuous light and a high level of noise. Hilton referenced Kosten and Van Os as stating that the recommended noise level in the hospital setting should be no more than 35 decibels （分贝） during sleep periods and 40 decibels when the client is awake. Keefe described the nursery environment as having a noise level of over 80 decibels for an average of 146.8 minutes per four hour period of observation. Keefe warns that an 80 decibel noise level is comparable to loud traffic noise. She found that the most striking and persistent noise was the sound of other infants crying.
The multiple adjustments that the newborn makes are challenging even in a quiet， noticeable environment. The previously described nursery environmental characteristics present additional challenges because newborns undergo profound physiological adjustments and are particularly vulnerable to hazardous environmental conditions.
Conditions such as excessive light and sound levels affect not only the infants' physiological processes but also their behavioral states. Recently， professionals studying newborns have focused their attention on newborn behavioral patterns. Thoman， Denenberg & Sievel wrote that “A newborn's state behaviors reflect both its own internal processes and external influences from the environment”. Stability of state organization over time appears to be an important characteristic of clinically healthy newborns. In their 1981 study of newborn state organization， Thoman and colleagues observed that the newborns who exhibited irregular or “poorly organized” state patterns all later developed conditions ranging from delayed development， aplastic anemia， and hyperactivity to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Obstetrical （助產） nurses assume a major responsibility for monitoring the childbirth adjustment in both the mother and her newborn. Nursing interventions designed to reduce or mask the impact of harmful stimuli in the nursery environment are desirable. Not only must the environment be beneficial to physiological inner adjustment but “...the pattern of infant state cycles must become harmoniously integrated with the reappearing features of the environment”. Few studies have examined the impact of such interventions on newborns in nursery settings. Research in this area is necessary because despite changes in policy related to “roomingin”， newborns continue to spend significant amounts of time in the nursery. 36.

Great Moments in Physics！
The following concerns a question in a physics degree exam at the University of Copenhagen.
“Describe how to determine the height of a high building with a barometer （氣压计）.” One student replied： “You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the barometer， then lower the barometer from the roof of the high building to the ground. The length of the string plus the length of the barometer will equal the height of the building.” This highly original answer made the examiner so angry that the student was failed.
The student appealed on the grounds that his answer was also correct， and the university appointed an independent expert to decide the case. The expert said that the answer was indeed correct， but called the student in and allow him six minutes in which to give an answer using the basic knowledge of physics. For five minutes the student sat in silence， deep in thought. The expert reminded him that time was running out， to which the student replied that he had several answers， but couldn't make up his mind which to use. On being advised to hurry up， the student replied as follows： “Firstly， you could take the barometer up to the roof of the high building， drop it over the edge， and measure the time it takes to reach the ground. The height of the building can then be worked out from the formula H=1/2gt2. But bad luck on the barometer.”
“Or if the sun is shining， you could measure the height of the barometer， then set it on end and measure the length of its shadow. Then you measure the length of the high building's shadow， and then it is a simple matter of proportional （比例的） maths to work out the height of the high building.”
“Or if the high building has an outside emergency staircase， it would be easier to walk up it and mark off the height of the high building in barometer lengths， then add them up.”
“But since we are constantly being bored to exercise our mind and apply scientific methods， undoubtedly the best way would be to knock on the doorman's door and say to him： If you would like a nice new barometer， I will give you this one if you tell me the height of this building.”
The student was Niels Bohr， the only person from Denmark to win the Nobel Prize for Physics.
41. In the author's opinion， the student's answer is________.
A. not reasonable B. hard to understand
C. rather common D. very creative
42. How many methods did Niels Bohr offer to measure the high building？
A. 4. B. 3.
C. 5. D. 2.
43. The underlined word “ground” in the passage means________.
A. reasons B. surfaces
C. interests D. professors
44. The underlined sentence in the 4th paragraph suggests that________.
A. it is not a good idea to drop the barometer
B. you will fail the exam if you drop the barometer
C. the barometer will probably be broken into pieces
D. you may drop with the barometer
C
Sports is not only physically challenging， but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism （批評） from coaches （trainers）， parents， and other teammates， as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical， emotional， or psychological， and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can， for example， learn how to cooperate with others， make friends， and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware （realize）， at all times， that their feedback （反馈） to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find a flaw （缺陷） in themselves. Coaches and parents should also be cautious （careful） that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting， young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game， many parents and coaches focus on （pay more attention to） the outcome and find fault with youngsters' performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again， criticism can create high levels of stress （pressure）， which can lead to burnout.
45. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that________.
A. it can help them learn more about society
B. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves
C. it enables them to find flaws in themselves
D. it can provide them with valuable experiences
46. According to the passage parents and coaches should________.
A. help children to win every game
B. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports
C. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports
D. train children to deal with stress
47. The author's purpose in writing the passage is .
A. to persuade young children not to worry about criticism
B. to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to children
C. to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragement
D. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout

四、任務型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870， it was experiencing an economic boom， and the capital，Buenos Aires，attracted many people. Farmers and ranchers，called gauchos in Argentina， came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn't pay well，and many people felt lonely and frustrated with their new life in the city. As the unhappy gauchos and new immigrants mixed together in the poor parts of the city， the dance known as the tango evolved. The tango at the beginning was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets of Buenos Aires and at that time there were many fewer women than men，so if a man didn't want to be left out and wanted to practice the new dance， his only choice was to dance with another man. Groups of men would get together to practice so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. Gradually， the dance came into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became seen as being more respectable.
In Europe at this time， intense interest in dance from around the world was beginning. This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. Tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe on board the boats carrying beef from Argentina. They began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in the cabarets and cafes. Not everyone was for the new dance， however. In fact， it raised a few eyebrows among the more conservative members of society， who found the tango was a little too shocking. However， the dance did find enough supporters so that even the tango's many critics could not put an end to its spreading popularity.
In the early 1900s， dance masters in both Paris and London developed more modest versions of the tango to teach to their students. These students then carried the tango into the ballrooms of Europe. Two forms of the tango emerged at this time—the fluid， stylish Paris tango and the stiffer， more conservative British tango. Neither of these tamed tangos carried the raw passion of the original Argentinian tango though.
Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought to the tango to North America. However， Rudolf Valentino， who danced the tango in the 1921 film The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse， really contributed to the growth and popularity of the tango across America. The tango danced in the ballrooms of the United States closely resembled the stiff， proper British tango.
The tango reached Japan in 1926， thanks mainly to one man—Baron Tsunayoshi “Tsunami” Megata. This Japanese nobleman had been living in Europe for 6 years when he returned to Tokyo in 1926. When he returned to Japan， he took with him a handful of tango records and an excellent understanding of the Paris tango. Baron Megata wasted no time in setting up a dance academy in Tokyo in which he could teach his wealthy friends the tango and other popular ballroom dances of Europe. Around 1930， British dance masters began setting up their own dance schools in Kobe， and the British tango soon became the most popular version of the tango danced in Japan. Baron Megata is reported to have said， “Whenever you dance， remember you should feel as though you are in love with your partner， even if you have just met the person.” The popularity of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world， including Asia. In Japan， the 1996 film Shall We Dance？ which featured flamenco and tango dancing， led to a dance boom around the country. In 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador to promote tango dancing throughout South Korea. In addition， tango festivals are now held annually in Japan and Korea.

How we can build up a harmonious family
A harmonious family is essential to our personal development and our physical and mental health. A harmonious family is always full of warmth， love and laughter. Parents and children love and show concern for each other. They also respect and understand each other. If a child grows up in a harmonious family， he is more likely to be cheerful and optimistic. Otherwise， he may be miserable and pessimistic. Meanwhile， parents in a harmonious family are sure to live happily and more healthily.
Since a harmonious family plays a very important role in our life， it is up to every family member to contribute to the building of such a family. First of all， parents should be a role model for their children and pay more attention to their own words and behavior. Besides， they must trust their children and often communicate with them.
As children of the family， we should also respect and understand our parents， and try to share their burdens. If we do so， our home will always be harmonious. （156W）
