A
It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25. I didn't think there would be any patients, sighing about having to work on Christmas. Just then five people showed up at my desk, a pale woman and four small children.
“Are you all sick?” I asked doubtfully.
“Yes.” she said weakly and lowered her head.
But when it came to descriptions of their presenting problems, things got a little puzzling. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren't accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong, but I didn’t say anything but explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She responded. “Take your time; it's warm here.”
I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No address---they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.
I looked out at the family sitting close to each other by the Christmas tree. The little one was pointing at the television and the oldest one was looking at the decorations on the Christmas tree.
I went back to the nurses' station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining about working on Christmas, turned to sympathy for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when there's a medical emergency. Only this one was a Christmas emergency.
We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day, so we fetched that meal and prepared a large meal for our Christmas guests. Our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day.
Later, as the family walked to the door to leave, the four-year-old came running back, gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our angels today.”
（1）From the descriptions of the family's presenting problems, the writer learned that ______.
A.one of the children had a language problem
B.the mother caught a bad cold
C.they were pretending to be sick
D.they got all infectious disease
（2）The author made sure that the family were homeless by _____.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
The cases in Jingdezhen’s exhibition hall are full of delicate porcelain(精瓷) pieces, all apparently from ancient royal collections. Appearances are misleading, however, because every piece is of modern manufacture.
For their creator Huang Yunpeng, who has spent almost his entire life making porcelain in the city in Jiangxi province, the local industry’s reputation is closely connected with his personal life.
Huang is regarded by many as the industry leader in the town known as “China’s porcelain capital”, because of his use of traditional manufacturing methods. He’s a quiet man, but when the media crowded into the city, labeling it a “hub(中心) for fakes”, the 72-year-old suddenly found his voice. “It’s very unfair to our industry,” he said, pointing to several exquisite(精致的) pieces of original porcelain in his studio. “How could visitors enjoy these beautiful exhibits without our efforts?”
The pieces, owned by some of China’s top museums, were sent to Huang to be reproduced in detail.
“Making replicas(复制品) is an important way of protecting the treasures collected by the museums,” Huang said, “But their meaning goes far beyond that.”
Demand for fine old-style porcelain is sky-high, but few can afford the extra high prices, so replicas are made to fill the gap. For example, in 2010, a vase made during the rule of the Emperor Qianlong (1735-96)was sold for HK$250 million ($32.3 million) at an auction(拍卖) in Hong Kong, setting a new record, but Huang’s replica cost just 30,000 yuan ($4,830).
He said it’s hard to distinguish between the originals and his replicas by sight, but insisted that he doesn’t try to make his pieces feel like antiques. “That’s the difference between replicas and outright fakes,” he said.
Huang stressed that his logo is always visible on the base of the replicas, so purchasers will not be misled, but admitted he was concerned that some of the city’s smaller studios don’t follow that practice.
“They may make fast money but they will harm the industry’s long-term reputation. The law needs to crack down on these people,” he said.
（1）Which of the following can replace the underlined word in paragraph 1?
A.Terrifying.
B.Confusing.
C.Charming.
D.Appealing.
（2）What do we know about Jingdezhen?
A.It is a hub for fakes.
B.It produces ancient royal collections.
C.It is known as China’s porcelain capital.
D.People there likes collecting antiques.
（3）Huang is regarded as the industry leader by many local people for____________．
A.his devotion to the porcelain making
B.his remarkable leadership
C.his large scale of porcelain making
D.his traditional manufacturing methods using
（4）Which of the following may be not the reason for the wide spread of the replicas?
A.People are forbidden to buy the ancient royal collections.
B.They can protect the ancient treasures collected by the museums.
C.Old-style porcelain is beyond people’s purchase.
D.Manufacturers can make a large profit with simple skills.
（5）Huang raised his concern about some small illegal studios mainly because______________.
A.they can’t meet people’s demands and needs
B.their products are of poor quality
C.they may affect the industry’s fame in the long run
D.they break the law

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
（C）
Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens researches into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archaeologists (考古学家) says. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.
“Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write.
The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 BC. Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.
The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. If human remains were found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was. Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.
Before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.
Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologist at Sheffield University, said, “Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”
The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.
（1）According to the passage, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because ________.
A.it is only a temporary measure on the human remains
B.it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific research
C.it was introduced by the government without their knowledge
D.it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains
（2）Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.
B.Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh.
C.Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.
D.Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.
（3）What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains?
A.The Ministry of Justice did not intend to protect human remains.
B.The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857.
C.The law on human remains hasn't changed in recent decades.
D.The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law.
（4）Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A.New discoveries should be reburied, the government demands.
B.Research time should be extended, scientists require.
C.Law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say.
D.Law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archaeologists warn.

How to Prepare for an Exam
There's no need to be tense (紧张的) or cram (死记硬背). By doing a couple simple things ahead you can ensure that you are confident and ready for anything that comes up on the test.
After you have taken notes from studying all of your material including the book and your notes, use that information to make flash cards. Turn statements into questions
Quiz yourself. Once everything is written down on flashcards, quiz yourself with the cards. Keep reviewing the questions that you get wrong until you get them right. You can carry flashcards around with you and quiz yourself when you're on the subway or riding in the car. Definitely continue to quiz yourself until you get them all right.
Do practice questions. Practice doing the questions in the book that you were assigned for homework. Do extra questions in the back of the book. Re-do questions that you got wrong, and try to figure out why you got them wrong. Do practice questions until you feel more comfortable with subject matter.
On the day of the exam, set your alarm at least two hours before the test. Scientists believe that a good night's rest is the key to better test scores. An hour and a half before the exam, start running through all the themes and sub-topics in your head. Like always, check your notes if you get stuck. Use your flashcards to help you commit all the tiny details to memory if they're not already memorized. If you're given yourself enough time to study, you should feel well prepared and relaxed.
A. Goon a balanced diet.
B. Take exercise and keep it up.
C. Make flash cards.
D. This is especially helpful for subjects such as math.
E. You might quiz yourself for a half hour or so, then take a break
F. Stop studying at least 15 minutes before the exam, but an hour is preferable.
G. Preparing for an exam can be stressful and time-consuming, but it doesn't have to be.
