4．The technology is great．Without it we wouldn't have been able to put a man on the moon，explore the ocean's depths or eat microwave sausages．Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge．But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves．
　　Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who've come into their surgery waving an Internet print-out，convinced that they have some rare incurable disease，say，throat cancer．The truth is usually far more ordinary，though：they don't have throat cancer，and it's just that their throats are swollen．Being a graduate of the Internet"school"of medicine does not guarantee accurate self-health-checks．
　　One day Mrs．Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work．While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong，she said calmly，"I know what's wrong； I've got throat cancer．I know there's nothing you doctors can do about it and I've just got to wait until the day comes．"
　　As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray．I looked at it and the blood results an hour later．Something wasn't right．"Did your local doctor do an X-ray？"I asked．"Oh，I haven't been to the doctor for years，"she replied．"I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted，so I knew that's what I had．"
　　However，some of her symptoms，like the severe cough and weight loss，didn't fit with it-but she'd just ignored this．
　　I looked at the X-ray again，and more tests confirmed it wasn't the cancer but tuberculosis （肺结核）-something that most certainly did need treating，and could be deadly．She was lucky we caught it when we did．
　　Mrs．Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered．It was certainly a lesson for her．"I'm so embarrassed，"she said，shaking her head，as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested．She listed up to about 20，and then I went to my office to type up my notes．Unexpectedly，the computer was not working，so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it．Typical．Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited？

63．Mrs．Almond talked about her illness calmly becauseA
A．she thought she knew it well                    　　      
B．she had purchased medicine online
C．she graduated from a medical school         　　      
D．she had been treated by local doctors
64．It was lucky for Mrs．AlmondD
A．to have contacted many friends                　         
B．to have recovered in a short time
C．to have her assumption confirmed                          
D．to have her disease identified in time
65．Mrs．Almond said"I'm so embarrassed"（Para.7）becauseB
A．she had distrusted her close friends                        
B．she had caused unnecessary trouble
C．she had to refuse the doctor's advice                      
D．she had to tell the truth to the doctor
66．By mentioning the breakdown of the computer，the author probably wants to proveC
A．it's a must to take a break at work　　                  
B．it's vital to believe in IT professionals
C．it's unwise to simply rely on technology　　          
D．it's a danger to work long hours on computers．

分析 科技是强大的，电脑已经彻底改变了我们的生活，他们有教育和传递知识的能力，但有时这个力量创造出比它所能解决的问题更多的问题．文中的阿蒙德夫人通过上网查看自己的病症而自认为得了喉癌，而实际上是肺结核．所以我们不能单一的依赖网络．

解答 63．A 细节理解题．根据文章第三段"I know what's wrong；I've got throat cancer．I know there's nothing you doctors can do about it and I've just got to wait until the day comes．"可知，她对自己的病十分了解，故选A．
64．D 细节理解题．根据文章第六段第一句"I looked at the X-ray again，and more tests confirmed it wasn't the cancer but tuberculosis"我再一次看了X光片，更多的测试证实这不是癌症，而是肺结核．可知，阿蒙德夫人很幸运能及时确诊病情，故选D．
65．B 句意理解题．根据第四至六段的内容，特别是第五段"I looked at the X-ray again，and more tests confirmed it wasn't the cancer but tuberculosis"可知，阿蒙德夫人她自认为得了喉癌，而实际上是肺结核，医生为了确认病情，不得不作了一些有关喉癌的检查．所以让医生做了一些不必要的事，多忙活了一会儿，所以她感到很难为情，故选B．
66．C 推理判断题．根据文中阿蒙德夫人通过上网查看自己的病症而自认为得了喉癌，而实际上是肺结核．以及文章最后一段"shaking her head，as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested．"可知，只是依赖网络技术是不明智的，故选C．

点评 本文是健康环保类阅读，考查学生对细节的理解把握和推理判断能力，做题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

13．DAVID Beckham didn't make it．Cristiano Ronaldo didn't hit it so big either．But Gareth Bale，24，has become the most expensive soccer player in the history of the game．
    Four years after the arrival of Ronaldo at a record cost of 125million（765millionyuan）in2009，RealMadridisexpectedtopay135 million for Bale．But how is it that Bale，who was playing left back and being benched （当替补） by his English Premier League team a couple of years ago，now attracts such a big deal？
    As of years ago，the Welshman had played 24 matches for Tottenham Hotspur，and had never finished on the winning side once-a record for any Premier League player．Tottenham even privately considered selling him．"A player who had once looked a prodigy （神童）-as a 17-year-old Southampton full back，the youngest ever international for Wales-already appeared，at 20，on the way down，"wrote Tim Adams at UK's The Observer．
    Through all the humiliations （屈辱），Bale hung on．While he was injured and kept out of games，he worked hard to reinvent himself．Bale's father Frank's uncompromising （不妥协的） discipline had a great impact on his son．
    When he returned from injury later that season，Bale had been transformed in the gym．In a Champions League match in 2010，he established himself as the so-called"Incredi-Bale"overnight throughout Europe．With his team four goals behind to Inter Milan at halftime，Bale surprisingly scored a hat-trick before the game was over．Even former Manchester United coach，Alex Ferguson，praised him："He had been a six-foot，gangly （瘦长的），slim boy； then all of a sudden he was built like a light heavyweight boxer．"
    With Bale's help，Tottenham are flying high in the league．In the 2012-13 season，he won all three of t he important individual awards：the PFA （Professional Footballers'Association） Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards and the Football Writers'Association Footballer of the Year award．
    This has all led to people comparing him to Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Ronaldo，who are widely regarded as the two best players in the world．
    Former Madrid star Zinedine Zidane has even decided to mentor （指导） Bale．"He's perhaps not quite at the level of the other two，but he's different，"Zidane told ESPN．"So personally I don't think he's far off．"
56．According to the text，which of the following is true？A
A．Gareth Bale played full back for Southampton at the age of 17．
B．Tottenham Hotspur never considered selling Gareth Bale．
C．Tottenham Hotspur beat Inter Milan in a Champions League match．

9．Does Fame Drive You Crazy？
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true，today's star，feeling like zoo animals，face pressures that few of us can imagine．They are at the center of much of the world's attention．Paparazzi （狗仔队） camp outside their homes，cameras ready．Tabloids （小报） publish thrilling stories about their personal lives．Just
imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature．
According to psychologist Christina Villareal，celebrities-famous people-worry constantly about their public appearance．Eventually，they start to lose track of who they really are，seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them，not as the people they were before everyone knew their names．"Over time，"Villareal says，"they feel separated and alone．"
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages．In the 4th century B．C．，painters followed
Alexander the Great into battle，hoping to picture his victories for his admirers．When Charles Dickens visited
America in the 19th century，his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans，leading him to complain （抱怨）
about his lack of privacy．Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do．
Being a public figure today，however，is a lot more difficult than it used to be．Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras．When they say something silly or do something
ridiculous，there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their"story"alive forever．
If fame is so troublesome，why aren't all celebrities running away from it？The answer is there are still ways to deal with it．Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities．They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place．
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice．Still，even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are．They are tired of being famous already．

63．It can be learned from the passage that stars today．B
A．are often misunderstood by the public
B．can no longer have their privacy protected
C．spend too much on their public appearance
D．care little about how they have come into fame
64．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3？B
A．Great heroes of the past were generally admired．
B．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history．
C．Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids．
D．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers．
65．What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today？A
A．Availability of modern media．
B．Inadequate social recognition．
C．Lack of favorable chances．
D．Huge population of fans．
66．What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity？D
A．Sincere．  B．Sceptical．  C．Disapproving．  D．Sympathetic．
16．Schools in the cities are well equipped        those in the countryside are poor．（　　）
A．ifB．whileC．soD．as
13．The  volunteers will visit the primary school next Monday，_______all the students  are children of migrant workers，（　　）
