An interview with a volunteer.

I am a member of our school’s volunteer association. During my freshman(大学一年级新生) year, I was asked to write up a plan for volunteers who assisted patients there. So I visited the hospice (末期病人疗养所) several times. Later, I realized I could do more for the patients and so began volunteering.　 .

When I was a freshman, I was not used to college life. I sometimes felt the hospice was like home. Here, many grannies treated me like their own relative, and I could feel strongly that I was needed. Just shaking hands made them come to life. I not only get great comfort from helping many patients get through the last period of their lives. I also learn a lot from their experiences.

You have to be prepared both mentally and physically. Most people at this hospice are facing death. So you have prepared to be patient and make them happy and relaxed. Also, persistence is needed. After seeing so many people here die, I know that persistence is hard. But you have to remember that you job is to help them feel less pain before death.

Good volunteers have something in common: They regard their job as a career, rather than some task that’s been assigned. They learn to enjoy what they are doing, no matter how boring it is. We have a volunteer who has been with us for more than a year. His job is translating letters from kids we helped. Even when he was busy with his classes, he would take a taxi to our office to pick up the letters. When we asked him why, he told us he enjoyed the kids’ stories and learned a lot from them.

Students are often very enthusiastic and direct. They give us feedback that helps us improve our work. And they value the opportunity we give them to broaden their horizons. However, they are still young and some are not responsible enough. And sometimes, they are lazy and careless.

Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors (流星)but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation, but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.

Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called ‘rem’ . Scientists have reasons to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage----a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed (畸形的) children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated　(累积) a large amounts of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.

A.　　 it protects him from the harmful rays from space.

B.　　　 it provides sufficient light for plant growth.

C.　　　 it supplies the heat necessary for human survival.

77.　　 We know from the passage that __________.

A.　　 exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is deadly.

B.　　　 the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming.

C.　　　 radiation is avoidable in space exploration.

D.　　 astronauts in spacesuits needn’t worry about radiation damage.

78.　　 The harm that radiation has done to the Apollo crew members__________.

A. is insignificant　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. seems overestimated

C. is enormous　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. remains unknown

79.　　 The best title for this passage would be __________.

A. The Atmosphere and Our Environment

The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion．They are closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak．What you produce is for sale on the market．It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market．

In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing fierce competition．Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions．In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting, what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc．

Then, how can we obtain such information? There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work．The commercial counselor's offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations．Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then．One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot．

Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information．The Chinese Export Commodities(货物) Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities．Of course , there are some other ways of making market investigations．

Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

　(　 A　 )

Picture the scene: the battery on your mobile phone has run out. You can’t make any calls for help and no one can contact you. You are all alone---well, not quite. Just reach into your pocket and take out a piece of sugar. Put it into the battery, wait a minute and you’re back on the phone.

Thanks to a couple of American scientists, this situation could become real. Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovley have invented the “bacteria battery”---powered by bacteria that eat sugar and turn it into electricity. “This is a special organism,” Lovley said. “You can harvest enough electricity to power a cell phone battery for about four days from a spoonful of sugar.”

In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting. But this battery uses more efficient bacteria that can turn 80 percent of sugar into electricity energy. This is 30 percent more than similar batteries can manage.

The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery. It’s also cheap and stable, as sugar can be taken from waste and crops. But the sugar to electricity process is slow: it could take weeks for the bacteria to digest a cup of sugar. And it produces “greenhouse” gases which pollute the environment.

The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done. “It is still young,” said Lovley. “Where we are now is where solar power was 20 or 30 years ago.” But he believes the battery could be used in scientific equipment at the bottom of the ocean. Other ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body, and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in rural areas.

65.　　 Which of the following is NOT the strong point of the newly-developed battery? 　

A. Convenient.　　　　　　　　　　 B. Stable.　　　　　　　 C. Inexpensive.　　　　　　　　　　 D. Quick.

66.　　 How will the scientists improve the new battery?

A. Increase the bacteria.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Solve the pollution problem.

C. Bring down the price.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Change the size.

67.　　 The underlined sentence in the last paragraph actually means________.

A. the bacteria battery shares some similarities with solar energy.

B. scientists will continue their work until they find solar energy.

C. there is much room for the improvement of the bacteria battery.

D. the bacteria battery will get popular in 20 or 30 years.

68.　　 According to the passage, who will find the bacteria battery less useful?

A. Farmers.　　　　　　　　　 B. Divers.　　　　　　　 C. Doctors.　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Electricians.

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

　　 When a student takes notes in a lecture, he has to do four things. First of all, he has to understand what is said. _____50______a speaker says, a student can’t stop him in order to look up a new word or check an unfamiliar sentence _____51______.

One of the qualities that most people ____41______ in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a _____42_____ thing like ‘I was wrong about that,’ and it is even harder to say, ‘I was wrong, and you were right about that.’

I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons(纸盒). Then he related an incident and I began to remember _____43_____ the incident he was describing.

I was about eight years old, and I went into the store with my mother to do the weekly ____44_____shopping. There was a _____45_____sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were piled high. I stopped in front of a____46______ to admire the piles. Just then a woman pushing her grocery cart knocked ____47______ the piles of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work.

The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees examining to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit(罪犯). He severely ____48______ me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, ____49______the manager did not.
