Once Dr.Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases with his  students.The case at hand was a Guatemalan man, aged 34, who had a fever and many other medical ^problems.His condition was not improving, and there was not much hope he would live.

Dr.: Mellinkoff asked to see the patient.He introduced himself in Spanish and, in a very gentle voice, asked how he felt.The patient smiled and said everything was all right.Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat.The patient said that he had no desire to eat.

    "Are you getting food you like?"

    The patient said nothing.

    "Do you get the kind of food you have at home?"

    The answer was no.

    The doctor put his hand on the man's shoulder and his voice was very soft.

    "If; you had food that you liked, would you eat it?"

    "Yes, yes," the patient said.

The change in the patient's appearance couldn't have been more obvious.Nothing was said, but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and! had also been received.

Later, the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn't getting food he could eat.One of the students said, "We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals."

"Suppose," the doctor replied, "you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn't carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request?"

    "I would probably insist," the student said.

"Very well," the doctor said."You might want to try the same method in the kitchen.It won't be-easy, but I can help you.Meanwhile, let's get some food inside this man as fast as possible, and stay with it.Or he'll be killed by hunger.By the way, there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish.If we want to make real progress, we need to be able to talk with him."

Three weeks later.Doctor Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power.It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable.

The patient had no desire to eat because

     A.he was not hungry   B.he was seriously ill

     C.he was given special meals  D.he was not satisfied with the food

According to the passage, we can conclude that        .

    A.the patient’s native language was Spanish

    B.the patient’s illness was caused by hunger

    C.Dr. Mellinkoff performed an operation on the patient

    D.the hospital failed to provide the right medicine for the patient

Which of the following words can be used to describe Dr. Mellinkoff?

    A.Cold.    B.Considerate. C.Curious. D.Careless.

What do you think Dr. Mellinkoff wanted to tell his students in this case?

    A.Doctors should be good at foreign languages.

    B.Doctors should know their patients’ real problems.

    C.Doctors should try to improve their medical skills.

    D.Doctors should have a good relationship ith their patients.

 Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands. Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn’t forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (启发) his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin’s footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands.

     The most well-known animals of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型海龟),which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Santa Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago (群岛). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been in their youth by Darwin himself.

     Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures; diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.

    Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, so you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.

68.What do we know about Danwin’s visit to the islands?

   A.He studied different creatures on the islands

   B.He completed his famous book on the islands

   C.He was touched by the geography of the islands

   D.He was attracted by well-know animals of the islands

69.which of the following plays a role in making the islands “a paradise for wildlife”?

   A.Animals on the islands feed on grass。

70.Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of         .

A.The beautiful sea views

B.Darwin’s inspiring trip

C.a closer view of animals

D.various daring activities

71.which of the following would be the best title for the passage ?

A lesson in caring

It was a cold evening. My daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora    36    . She wasn’t even four, but she   37    at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy, can we take him home?”

    I don’t remember my   38    . But I do remember a sudden   39    feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her   40     , whether it was     41    flying or children playing. But now she was noticing   42    and beggary.

    A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and   43     it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I signed us up. Nora was   44    about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how   45    our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to    46    myself to leave the house to fetch the food package. On my way to the school, I fought an urge (强烈愿望) to turn    47    . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home. Why do this?   48    , we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She   49    us right over.

    The building was in a bad state. Facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked us to come in. Nora ran inside. I unwillingly followed.   50     inside, I saw that the department belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged. I walked home    51    .

Professionals call such a(n)   52    “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities and I’ve come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something    53     that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and   54     clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve    55     her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has benefited more?

A. insects        B. animals     C. plants   D. birds

A. coldness   B. illness               C. suffering  D. appearance

A. sent       B. returned          C. devoted  D. posted

A. Although    B. Once            C. Because   D. Though

A. in tears       B. in surprise                  C. in reality       D.in disappointment

A. stay            B. visit                C. reception  D. challenge

People are talking about the “new economy.” It’s very different from the “old economy”.

In the old economy, people travel to walk. They buy things in stores. They use the post office, the fax and the telephone to send information. They see people face-to-face at their jobs or in stores. People get information from newspapers, radio, television, books and libraries.

In the new economy, people do business through the “net,” which is a connection of millions of computers everywhere in the world. In the new economy, workers often work at home. They can get information online. They can communicate with employers and co-workers by e-mail. Businesses have “virtual stores”. They are websites on which customers can see the products. Businesses can sell to customers anywhere in the world.

In the new economy, people live a fast paced, convenient and colorful life. The whole world develops more quickly than before. But the new economy is a double-edge sword. Its disadvantage is also obvious. For example, the Internet has led to a huge increase in credit card cheating. Some illegal websites offer some cheap or banned goods or services. Online shoppers who enter their credit card information may never receive the goods they want to buy and their card information could even be for sale in an illegal website. So people in the new economy should be smarter and knowledgeable.

The cause of the differences between the new economy and the old economy is ____.

A. the change of people’s idea    B. the business people do

C. the use of the Internet        D. the change of people’s life

In the old economy, people can do the following things EXCEPT____.

A. getting information from books   

B. communicating with friends by telephone

C. meeting people face to face

D. shopping online

“But the new economy is a double-edge sword ” in the last passage means_____.

A. The new economy is as sharp as a sword

B. The new economy has advantages and disadvantages

C. The new economy is better than the old economy

D. Both the new economy and the old economy have disadvantages

Which of the following is NOT true?

A. People can get all kinds of information on the Internet.

B. Telephone, radio, television, newspapers and so on will disappear in the new economy.

C. People in the new economy should have high quality.

D. Life in the new economy is more comfortable than the one in the old economy.
