A

In 1944 a 22-year-old Army medic (卫生兵) was answering a battle-field cry for help when pieces of an exploding German shell tore into him.“Gee doc, I feel like both my arms were blown off,” George Lott told his surgeon as he was rushed into a first-aid station near the front in northeastern France.It was the beginning of a painful 5000-mile journey through three hospitals as doctors tried to save the medic's life.

After five operations and two and a half years in Army hospitals, Lott, regained use of his left arm, but his right was painfully paralyzed (使丧失活动能力) , “I begged the doctors to cut off my arm,” he recalls.They did.

An orphan since he was two, with a third grade education, Lott has lived on his pension(抚恤金) and Social Security (社会保险金) for the past 40 years.In 1962 he bought a house in Albany, N.Y, not far from the Adirondack Mountains where he hunted and fished.He still has the Purple Heart award him after he was wounded, although he has had a difficult time keeping it.His girlfriend, explains the bachelor, has wanted to wear it.

“Sometimes I still dream about the guys I held in my arms that were dying,” says Lott, “I'm proud that I fought for my country, but I'm still here, drinking beer.The guys who didn't come back are the real heroes.”

56.George Lott got wounded when he was___________.

A.fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with other soldiers

Sometimes doing something for yourself — even shopping — can give others a lift.That’s the case at charity (慈善) shops and non-profit stores such as Ten Thousand Villages which helps provide skilled workmen with money in developing countries.

Their handicrafts (工艺品) are sold throughout North America in 180 stores, 95 of them operated by Ten Thousand Villages.

“People come into the store because we have a lot of interesting things, but then they’re drawn to us by the campaign,” says organization spokeswoman Juanita Fox.

“It just feels good to be making a difference when you’re buying something.”

In the Alexandria, Virginia shop generous display windows draw you in.They’re filled with practical, attractive home decorations in blue and white, all international in mood.

Once inside though, it’s clear that this isn’t just another import store.On the wall behind the cash register is the following note:

“Ten Thousand Villages provides necessary, fair income to Third World people by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories in North America.Your buying Makes a Difference.”

The store was opened in 1994 as part of a network of shops across the USA run by the Mennonite church, which is based in Akron, Pennsylvania.

Currently, 60,000 skilled workmen from 32 countries provide goods to the stores, with all profits reinvested in the organization.

Management of the Alexandria shop is run by an all volunteer board of directors.More than 40 additional volunteers help do everything from registering to unpacking.

Maria Yannopoulos got involved after visiting a store and getting to know another volunteer.“Since we’re a nonprofit, we’re really looking for value because the more we sell, the more jobs we can create.Giving someone a job rather than charity helps in so many ways.”

60.The underlined part “give others a lift” in the first paragraph means ___________.

    A.offer others a ride in a car          B.take others up and down to another floor

    C.make others think of plane          D.make others more pleased

61.A large number of people visit Ten Thousand Villages because ___________.

    A.they are fond of traveling around    B.they can find something interesting

    C.they can enjoy the wonderful foods    D.they want to learn how to farm in the fields

62.What can we learn from the note mentioned in this passage? 

    A.Goods sold at Ten Thousand Villages are expensive.

    B.Stories about Ten Thousand Villages are interesting.

    C.What the purpose of the shop is.

    D.Goods from the Third World are better than those from the USA.

63.From the last paragraph we can learn that ___________. 

    A.American volunteers like to run shops

    B.American shops are mostly operated by volunteers

    C.volunteers often offer goods to their friends as presents

    D.shopping can also be a kind of charity

C

COLUMBUS, Ohio The heart operation taking place in the pale-green operating room at the Ohio State University Medical Center was unusual.The patient, a 62-year-old man, was made to sleep, tied with blue drapes(消毒帷帘)and lying face up on a narrow table.But no one was touching him.

Instead, the operation was being performed by a robot, whose three metal arms went through pencil-sized holes in the man’s chest.At the ends of the robot’s arms were tiny metal fingers, with turning wrists, which held a tiny instrument, a light and a camera.The robot’s arms and fingers were controlled by Dr.Randall K.Wolf, sitting at a computer in a corner of the operating room about 20 feet away.

This sort of operation, heart surgeons say, is the start of what may be the biggest change in their profession since heart bypass surgery(心脏搭桥手术) began nearly 30 years ago.“The reason we make cuts is that we have big hands,” said Dr.Wolf , the director of the surgery at Ohio State.The robot’s dainty fingers, no longer than a nail on the small finger, at the end of the long sticks could work better.

Eventually, surgeons believe, most heart surgery will be done by robots whose arms are put in through pencil-sized holes punched in patients’ chests.Instead of directly staring into a patient’s body, surgeons will view magnified images of the operation on computer screens.In theory, the doctor would not have to be in the same room, or even the same country, as the patient.

64.In this passage, the underlined word “dainty” means ___________. 

    A.small          B.weak          C.fat           D.quick

65According to the passage, the reason that most operations require large cuts is that _______ 

    A.patients have large organs           B.surgeons have large hands

    C.large cuts take less time            D.large cuts cost less money

66The main idea of this passage is that heart surgery by robots ___________

    A.is quicker than surgery done by doctors

B.was developed at Ohio State University

    C.is a new and risky procedure        

D.may replace surgery done by doctors

67Based on the information in this passage, all of the following conclusions are true EXCEPT____ 

    A.All doctors at Ohio Sate develop new surgical techniques

    B.Robot surgery is being developed at Ohio State

    C.Robot surgery will be used on many patients in the near future

    D.Many hospitals will eventually offer robot surgery to patients

British men are abandoning their stiff upper lips but still do not wear their hearts on their sleeves like Americans, a new survey showed.When it comes to strong emotion, the once serious British are now happy to shed tears quite openly.

“Thirty percent of all British males have cried in the last month.That is a very high figure,” said Peter Marsh, director of the Social Issues Research Center which took the emotional temperature of Britain.“Only two percent said they could not remember when they last cried,” the head of the independent research group said.

Long gone is the “No Tears — We're British” time when emotion was considered distinctly bad form.“In our survey of 2,000 people, very few people in their forties or fifties had seen their father cry.Now it is twice as many,” he told reporters.“Seventy-seven percent of men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable.” Almost half the British men opened the floodgates over a sad movie, book or TV program.Self-pity got 17 percent crying.Nine percent cried at weddings.

From the days of Empire, the British have always considered themselves models of reserve(含蓄缄默), laughing at “excitable foreigners” who show no self-control.

Marsh argued the divide was still there: “We have probably not caught up with the Americans or the Italians when it comes to the actual display of emotions.”

“But we are clearly changing.What we take as typical British reserve has significantly faded”

Women's battle for equal rights has certainly had an effect — both in the workplace and at home.“Men in their twenties or thirties are interacting with women on equal terms much more so than a generation ago.They have to relate to the opposite sex.Women become more man-like and men become more female.That transfers into the work place too,” Marsh said.

72.The underlined phrase wear their hearts on their sleeves means ___________.

    A.wear their sleeves properly             B.express their feeling openly

    C.put their heart into their work            D.have a heart-to-heart discussion

73.The British used to think crying in public ___________. 

A.natural          B.sensible          C.unacceptable   D.important

74.British men cried most ___________. 

    A.over a sad film    B.over self-pity      C.at wedding       D.at graduation

75.In the last paragraph, the writer mainly discussed ___________.

    A.the women’s struggle for equal rights      B.one of the causes of the change

  C.interacting between men and women      D.Women’s influence on men
