Growing up in the poverty of colonial Africa, America was my shining people. Martin Luther King’s non-violent political struggle made freedom and equality sound like 41 goals. America’s ideals filled my 42 and I promised myself that I would 43 on America’s streets.
44 ,as soon as I set foot is America’s hospitals, reality and racism（种族歧视）quickly intruded（侵入）on the ideals. My color and accent set me 45 . But in a hospital I am neither black nor white. I believe every patient that I touch deserves the 46 care and concern from me.
Once I was on call 47 a 19-year-old patient was brought into the hospital. He was 48 blood after a car accident. He was an American Nazi with a swastika tattooed（纳粹万字纹身）on his chest.
The 49 told me he wouldn’t let me touch him. When I came close to him,he spat on me. In that moment, I wanted no part of him either, but no other 50 would take him on. I realized I had to minister to（照顾）him as 51 as I could.
I talked to him, but he 52 to look at me or acknowledge me. He would only speak through the white nurses, he was not badly hurt. We parted 54 .
My black hands have saved many lives. I believe in my 55 he lived by. His racism had little to do with me. And I want to 56 it had little to with America , with the faith of Martin Luther King and the other great mean who made me believe in this nation’s 57 of equality and freedom.
My black hands have saved many lives . I believe in my 58 to heal. I believe all patients and all human being are 59 , and that I must try to care for everyone, even those who would rather 60 than consider me their equal.

A. Yunnan has a rich and diversified culture and many historical and natural sites.
B. There are two kinds of cultural heritage—one has economic potential, the other does not.
C. A major problem that cultural heritage sites and relics face today is profit-minded officials.
D. The damage that too much tourism brought to Yunnan has raised our awareness of protecting the cultural heritages.
E. Local governments in Yunnan and other provinces should learn from their mistakes if they want to build a better cultural future.
F. The central and local government should realize that cultural heritage means much more than booming tourism and profits.
Heritage(文化遗产) for the future
Culturally rich provinces have to strike the right balance between preserving sites and relics and making money.
China may have the second highest entry on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list, but it is still in the primary stages of protecting its cultural heritage sites and relics and faces many problems in preserving them.
Several months ago, I visited the Hani Terraces, a cultural heritage site also in Yunnan, and was shocked to see the sorry state of what should have been a wonderful culture. The local government pumped huge funds and resources into the site in a failed bid to win the world Cultural Heritage status in 2008. And that seems to have caused the maximum damage to culture and traditions mainly of the Hani and Yi ethnic groups, who are primarily responsible for the terraces.
61. ______________ Cultural heritage is the inner soul of a nation. The most important thing for the governments to do is to strike a healthy balance between protection and exploitation of the sites. This will help preserve culture and make life better for the people.
62. ______________ The first kind can be used to make profits, but only after strict protection measures are taken. Only if cultural heritage is well protected can it bring about long-term economic and social benefits. The second kind has to be preserved in various forms, such as texts, videos and audios. Since we have inherited thousands of texts and relics from our ancestors, it is our duty to pass them down to later generations.
63. ______________ Such officials’ only aim is to make money. They are not bothered about preserving cultural heritage. I once met one such official who asked me what the benefits of protecting cultural heritage were. Obviously, such views lack foresight.
Yunnan province is now planning to seek World Cultural Heritage tags for the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, the Ancient Tea Route and some very old tea gardens. But before local governments apply to UNESCO they have to change their old practices and take proper decisions that will help preserve the heritage sites in the long run. Besides, they should be open to the views of the people and the media.
64. ______________ These sites and the relics they preserve can help achieve the development of the province and its people if handled properly.
65. ______________ They have to be doubly cautious not to repeat the mistakes that are now threatening the Old Town of Lijiang. A culture cannot be preserved without protecting the people who practice it.
The benefits of a world Cultural Heritage site have to be shared by the people to prevent it from getting ruined.
The soldier narrowly escaped ________in the fierce battle.
A. have killed B. killing C. to be killed D. being killed
International Driver’s License-Vacation
For more than 50 years, travelers 61 (use) the international driver’s license to travel in foreign countries. The idea is 62 a driver with a valid driver’s license in her own country can drive freely in 63 country without going though another driving test. Of course, this is true only for countries that is 64 (involve) in this program.
The United Nations has a detailed guideline for how the license should be presented, 65 (include) what information and what languages should be displayed. It is 66 (fair) easy to get one. 67 you already have a valid driver’s license, getting the international license is a matter of filling out the application and paying for the processing fee.
Once you have the license, you can rent cars and drive in foreign highways. If you happen 68 (stop) by law officers such as police, you have to present both licenses. The international license can never be valid alone. Some countries may recognize your own driver’s license, 69 having the international license will save you from potential 70 (agree) and solve language barriers.
---Oh，my God! Daring，what’s wrong with your face？
---Forget it! I am allergic to the cream recommended by my colleague，Ms．Fan，a very well preserved woman．
---Oh，no! I have to say‘________’.
A． A burden of one’s choice is not felt．
B． One man’s meat is another man’s poison．
C． Beauty，unaccompanied by virtue，is as a flower without perfume．
D． Don’t cross the bridge till you get to it．
The world has a fast growing population and people need more land for houses, factories, highways, and so on. The farmland is decreasing with each passing day. How to meet the need of feeding the growing population? One way is to introduce some high-output gene into a crop to enable it to produce more. Biologists over the years have discovered genes which can raise output of the crops, resist pests, improve taste, etc.
However, in many western countries there is widespread concern over the safety of “Genetically Modified” (GM)(转基因）foods，because they think there may be serious problems of environment, health, safety, morality and so on.
As a scientist I must admit GM foods involve great risks to humans. In fact in Europe they’re called “Frankenstein foods” by many. Frankenstein is a character in a novel. He was a very clever scientist. He created a monster (怪物），which eventually killed him.
Soybeans can be made into many foods. However, it’s hard to trace them. Therefore, it’s very important we have to make sure the soybean, if genetically modified, is free from any poisonous matter harmful to human beings. For this we need very good testing. We do have some testing on some animals，but no completely satisfactory testing has ever been made so far. They’re entirely new, and their problems are entirely unknown. It takes time to develop persuasive tests to know whether they're harmful to us or not.
We may not be able to tell what may happen if we take GM foods. Some of them may be resistant to antibiotics (抗生素).Then many of the medicines we have today will have no effect on people eating GM foods.
A more likely case is the GM foods may contain genes some people are allergic to.
GM products have already come into our lives but most people even know nothing about it. At least we have to be clear about what we are eating. The China Consumers Association is calling for labeling (标注）on GM foods so that consumers will know before they buy them.
50. The chief purpose of developing GM foods is to_ .
A. make the foods much cheaper B. feed the fast growing population
C. make the foods much tastier D. kill pests on the crops
51. From the passage we can infer that___________.
A. Frankenstein foods can make people clever
B. many Europeans reject GM foods C. GM foods are very popular in Europe
D. Frankenstein was a scientist creating GM foods
52. The underlined phrase “trace them” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ ”.
A. find their market B. raise their quality
C. enjoy their taste D. find their origins
53. Which of the following is TRUE about GM foods?
A. Sometimes consumers can hardly tell GM soybeans from natural ones.
B. The testing shows GM soybean foods are free from poisonous matter.
C. GM foods prove to be safe to humans after some testing on animals.
D. GM foods problems have been known after testing on animals.
54. What can we learn from the passage?
A. GM foods make antibiotics fail to function properly.
B. People eating GM foods will suffer from food allergies.
C. People should be informed of which foods are GM foods.
D. As GM foods are safe at present, they’re certainly safe later on.

The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived in the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which was a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it Comremoves the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem—their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately$433, 600, 000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.
32. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?
A. rich and powerful B. modern and open
C. peaceful and attractive D. greedy and aggressive
33. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from .
A. soil pollution B. phosphate overmining
C. farming activity D. whale hunting
34. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem?
A. Its leaders misused the money. B. It spent too much repairing the island.
C. Its phosphate mining cost much money. D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.
35. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A. The leaders will take the experts' words seriously.
B. The phosphate mines were destroyed.
C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.
D. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.

Investing in yourself
Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.
36 Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.
You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education. 37 . There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.
So what are some specific things you can do? 38 . Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I’m talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books.
You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. 39 . Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation.
Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn’t 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when inflation(通货膨胀) is taken into consideration. 40 . But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.
A. This is just one way.
B. The benefits will stay with you.
C. If you aren’t a reader, you should start with that.
D. The more you do this, the more valuable you will be.
E. Of course, you need to do some research before investing.
F. The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.
G. When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.
Some of those who oppose smoking in movies have just seen the future, and they are not happy about it.
Having caught up withJames Cameron’s3-D science fiction thriller,“Avatar,”over the holidays,Stanton A.Glantz,director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at theUniversityof California,said hisSmoke Free Movies initiative(倡议)would soon come out swinging with an informational campaign aimed at what he saw as the movie’s pro-smoking message.
“This is like someone just put a bunch of plutonium(钚)in the water supply,”Mr.Glantz said in a telephone interview last week.He was referring to scenes in which an environmental scientist played bySigourney Weaverdrags lovingly on a cigarette as she works to save the moon Pandora sometime in the 22nd century.
Scenesmoking.org,which monitors tobacco mentions in films,gave“Avatar”a rating:A“black lung.”Still,this movie is not the only holiday picture to earn that distinction,which indicates unacceptable depictions(描绘)of tobacco.
“Sherlock Holmes”and“The Blind Side,”which were distributed byWarner Brothers;“Nine,”from the Weinstein Company;“Did You Hear About the Morgans?”fromSonyPictures;and“The Fantastic Mr.Fox,”also from Fox,were similarly rated with a“black lung”fortobacco use.
In a statement sent by e-mail over the weekend,Mr.Cameron said he had never intended Ms.Weaver’s character,Grace Augustine,to be“a role model”for teenagers.“She’s rude,she swears,she drinks,she smokes,”wrote Mr.Cameron.“Also,from a character perspective,we were showing that Grace doesn’t care about her human body,only her avatar body,which again is a negative comment about people in our real world living too much in their avatars,meaning online and in video games.”
Speaking as an artist,Mr.Cameron said:“I don’t believe in the dogmatic（教条的）idea that no one in a movie should smoke.Movies should reflect reality…I do agree that young role-model characters should not smoke in movies,especially in a way which suggests that it makes them cooler or more accepted by their peers.”
For the record,apart from the 3-D tobacco use,Mr.Glantz said he found“Avatar”to be“a great movie.”
