阅读下列短文。从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中。选出最佳选项.并在答题卷上将该项填出。
A
My wife passed away a few years ago, and I went through the worst time in my life. I even wanted to kill myself. Just for my kids, I had to continue to live and work as a small town doctor at my medical clinic in Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip.
On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids: "I'm going to Afghanistan". And a few weeks later, International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away.
In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami (海啸), Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil war, and Iraq after more and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems. "Adventures or not?", I often asked myself.
When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.
I think about the moment many times during my "adventures". I didn't know how predictive those words would be. But I know that she is still with me.
56. Where has the doctor been in the past few years?
A. Some countries where he could set up clinics.  
B. Some African countries where flu broke out.
C. The places where the earthquakes happened.
D. The places that the horrible disasters struck.
57. How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan?
A. Tired and troublesome.           B. Busy and risky.
C. Meaningful and helpful.          D. Frightening and depressing.
The underlined word "refugees" means people__________  
A. who are robbed, killed, or wounded    B. who suffer from flu in movable clinics
C. who like to take adventures          D. who have lost homes because of disasters
59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The doctor's wife encouraged him to work in foreign countries.
B. What the doctor said to his wife before her death became reality.
C. The doctor's adventures made him understand the love of his wife.
D. With the true love of his wife; the doctor started to change his life.


C
Last Sep.11 was an important day too. After unknown gunmen attacked aid workers from the Nobel Prize-winning Medecins sans Frontieres at a roadblock on that day , most of the international aid groups helping Darfur’s 6 million people stopped using the roads . On Dec.18 , unknown gunmen attacked the southern town of Gereida. More than 70 aid workers then pulled out of the refugee(难民) camp there—Darfur’s largest, with 130,000 people —leaving only 10 Red Cross employees behind. Yet at the time no one said what had really caused the sudden pullbacks.
Damaging has become surprisingly common in Darfur, where 200,000 Africans have been killed and a third of the population have been sent fleeing into camps in three years of war. But the attacks on international aid workers suggested a dramatic and dangerous start—to attack on purpose those helping to keep Darfur’s millions of refugee alive. A dozen people from foreign NGOs (non-governmental organizations) have been killed in just the past six months , more than previous years. There are about 14,000 aid workers in Darfur now , the majority of them Sudanese, working for foreign NGOs and U.N. agencies and delivering $1 billion a year in aid . Just a few more terrible attacks could throw that into jeopardy. Last week 14 U.N. offices working in Darfur made a clear warning that “the humanitarian (人道主义) organization cannot possibly make certain the survival of the population Darfur if aid workers don’t feel safe. ”
64.What made Sept.11 an important day according to the passage?

“Find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Do you agree with this old saying? Joanne Gordon does. She is the author of Be Happy at work and other books about careers(职业). Gordon believes that about 30% of employees(雇员) in North America do not like their jobs, and she thinks that is terrible. She wants to help people who do not feel satisfied with their jobs find work that is good for them. Joanne says, “There are no happy jobs, only happy workers.” She believes that happy workers share three main characteristics.

First, happy workers enjoy the daily activities of their jobs, and they look forward to the workday. Take Tony Hawk, for example. At age 14, he became a professional skateboarder. Now he is a businessman working on projects related to skateboarding—films and video games, but he still skates every day. He once said, “My youngest son’s pre-school was recently asked what their dads do for work. My son said, ‘I’ve never seen my dad do work.’” Tony agrees that his job doesn’t look like work. He has found a way to spend each day doing a job he enjoys.

Second, happy workers like the people they work with. Sally Ayote says, “I work with the coolest people in the world.” She and her group cook for almost 1,200 people in Antarctica. Most of these people are scientists who are doing research. Sally loves to sit and talk with them. She says, “There is no television here, no radio, so I get to know the scientists and what they’re studying.” Sally thinks she has a great job, and the best part about it is the people.

Third, happy workers know that their work helps others. Caroline Baron’s work helps people who have had to leave their home countries because of war or other dangers. She is a filmmaker who started an organization called FilmAid, which shows movies in refugee(难民) camps around the world. Caroline believes that movies can be very helpful in these camps. For one thing, entertaining movies let refugees forget their troubles for a little while. Movies can also teach important subjects like health and safety. For example, in one camp, thousands of refugees saw a movie about how to get clean water. Caroline knows that is helping other people, and this makes her feel proud and happy about her work.

Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron all get great satisfaction from their work. Tony Hawk says, “Find the thing you love. If you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.” Joanne Gordon would agree. She encourages people to find something they enjoy doing, find people they like to work with, and find ways to help others. Then they can be proud of what they do, and they will probably be happy at work.

A. Joanne Gordon herself.

B. Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron.

C. People who do not feel satisfied with their jobs.

D. The workers who agree with the author’s ideas.

2.Why did Tony Hawk’s son say, “I’ve never seen my dad do work.”?

A. Because Tony Hawk’s job doesn’t look like work.

B. Because Tony Hawk always finds something enjoyable in his job.

C. Because Tony helps people forget their troubles while skating.

D. Because the best part about his job is to spend each day skating.

3.Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron are good examples that show us ____________.

A. how to be a successful businessman

B. how to help people in difficulties

C. how to get along with the coolest people

D. how to become a happy worker

C. The author of Be Happy at Work thinks that happiness at work is really important.

D. Joanne Gordon believes that people will probably be happy at work when they are proud of what they do.

 

Section C

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

A  Preparation for taking a citizenship test

B  Citizenship tests in European countries

C  Cultural differences and conflicts

D  New US Citizenship Test

E  Different views on the new citizenship test

F  Goal of the new citizenship test

 

80.

 

Last week, a sample of the new US citizenship exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services(US-CIS). It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has, as the current test does, the new one asks why there are l3 stripes. Instead of having to name the branches of government, an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.

81.

 

The newly released US citizenship exam has included more information and knowledge. People who take it need to know more about the adopted country and have a deeper insight into its culture and values. “The goal is to make it more meaningful.” explains Emilio Gonzalez, director of the US—CIS. Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better “understanding and respect” for US civic values, Gonzalez says.  

82.

 

The US isn't the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a “shared commitment” from immigrants for their adopted country's “values”. In recent years, in addition to the usual requirement of language/work skills and economic status, several European countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March, a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test. It involved watching a video showing nude(裸体的)women bathing at beaches and gay(同性恋的)men kissing in public. The aim was to ensure that “newcomers will be comfortable with the country's liberal social mores(风俗)”.

83.

 

Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades. But, today, the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile (敌对的) to each other. Promoting unity has become a major concern for European countries, after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes(少数民族聚居区)in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by religious extremists.

84.

 

Officials believe that a person's attachment to a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country. However, some critics say that the changes can do little to help people assimilate(同化)themselves. “Immigration is a culture war today. Is giving a new test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?” says Ali Noorani, of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition(难民辩护联盟).
