“My weight was killing me.I have four
children and a wonderful husband.I couldn’t
let the disease that destroyed my family get
me,”said Denise Armstrong.She kept trying
to explain her symptoms away.The tiredness
was so serious that even after eight hours
of sleep,she’d wake up tired and feel tired
all the day.The 52-year-old secretary was
from Mount Carmel,Illinois,and she thought
she was probably working too hard.A boring
thirst forced her to take a water bottle
everywhere she went,but she thought that her
medicine was making her dehydrated (脱水的). Then she decided to look for medical care.
A few days after the exam,Denise got a
call:Her blood showed some problem,and the
nurse wanted to see her right away.The
timing couldn’t have been worse,since
Denise’s daughter-in-law had gone into
labor early that morning,and Denise was
looking after her two-year-old
granddaughter,Allyson.After putting the
child into a child seat,she drove to the
medical building and sat with the child in
the half-empty waiting room.She was excited
about the new baby coming—and apprehensive
about the test results.
She’d just finished making a phone call
to check on her daughter-in-law when the
nurse asked her and Allyson to go into a
small exam room.Holding up the lab report, she told Denise what was causing her
symptoms:type 2 diabetes (糖尿病).“I was so
shocked,”said Denise.“My first thought
was,oh my God,am I going to die?”
She had every reason to feel sad.The
disease had killed her first husband’s
mother after the older woman had developed
diabetes.Denise’s own mother,also a
diabetic,was nearly blind,has suffered two
strokes (中风) and was in a nursing home— all conditions linked to diabetes.
6.From Paragraph 1 we know that Denise
.
A.had some difficulty in sleeping
B.was too thin to be healthy
C.felt tired mainly because of working hard
D.was very worried about her health
解析
推理判断题。根据第一段“I couldn’t
let the disease that destroyed my family
get me”可推断，答案为D。 D 7.Which of the following statements is NOT
true according to the passage?
A.Denise is a secretary in Mount Carmel,
Illinois.
B.Denise was always thirsty because of her
illness.
C.The nurse called Denise because her
blood wasn’t normal.
D.Denise went to the hospital with her
daughter-in-law. 解析
细节理解题。根据第二段“...since
Denise’s daughter-in-law had gone into
labor early that morning”可知，她的儿媳妇没 有陪她去医院，故D项内容错误。 答案
D 8.The underlined word “apprehensive” in
Paragraph 2 means
.
A.worried
B.moved
C.surprised
D.excited
解析
词义猜测题。根据前文内容“Her blood
showed some problem,and the nurse wanted
to see her right away”和本句中excited可推
断，新生婴儿令Denise兴奋，与之形成鲜明对比
的是，她对自己的病情感到忧虑和担心，故答案
为A。 A 9.From the passage we can infer that
.
A.Denise’s husband wasn’t concerned
about her at all
B.Denise didn’t know she had got type 2
diabetes at first
C.Allyson didn’t stay with Denise in the
exam room
D.Denise knew nothing about type 2 diabetes
解析
推理判断题。根据第三段“I was so
shocked”可推断，Denise起初不知道自己已经得
了第二型糖尿病，故答案为B。 B 10.What do we know about Denise’s family
from the last paragraph?
A.Her illness was passed down from her
mother.
B.Her first husband was very healthy.
C.Her mother was seriously sick.
D.Her first husband’s mother was in a
nursing home. 解析
细节理解题。根据末段“...was nearly
blind,had suffered two strokes and was in a
nursing home...”可知，答案为C。 答案

随着科技的迅速发展，电子书籍以其信息量大、 更新快等特点受到人们的青睐。一些计算机专家甚 至预测墨水文字会消失。就你而言，电子书籍和传 统印刷书籍，你更倾向于哪一种？请以“Ebooks
or Printed Books?”为题，写一篇短文。 参考范文
E–books or Printed Books?
Nowadays,e-books are getting popular. Some computer experts even predict that the
printed books will die out some day.In my
opinion,printed books are a better choice.
Printed books have their advantages. First,printed books make it easier for
search and research,because you can put
marks or notes during reading.You can even
go through several books at the same time
for related views,while with e-books,you
would find it rather inconvenient because
computer screen is too small.Second,printed
books are portable.You can read them
whenever and wherever without using a
computer.Third,reading printed books has
less strain on your eyes.Your eyes are not
affected by the screen radiation.Instead,you
can relax and read comfortably in normal
light.
For the above reasons,I think reading
printed books is a better choice for me. 对点巩固天天练 一、单项填空 1.—I haven’t got the ticket for the

Life was exciting being the twin sister
of an adventurous two-year-old brother.We
lived in rural Mississippi where my life
seemed like a dream.That was until my dad
took my brother and me to live with my
grandmother.You see my grandma was seventy
years old then.She couldn’t keep up with
two little naughty (淘气的) children like
us.
One of my aunts came and said,“Come and
go home with me.”The day we arrived,we saw
two tricycles in the den (书房).We rode the
tricycles happily for a while.And sure
enough,we ate rainbow-colored ice cream and
watched cartoons all the rest of that day in
the den.Everything exciting happened in the
den.
From eight years old to my high school
graduation I was always sent into the den. The den was the second largest room in the
house.In the den were Royal Blue Children’s
Encyclopedias (百科全书),red and white
holiday songbooks,and music books laying on
a piano stool.My aunt soon started to give
me piano lessons and expected me to practice.
My aunt would always say,“Go into the
den!”I never realized why.I used to think
that she was mad at me because I was the
only one who had to go into the den.
If I asked if I could go and visit some
friends,she would ask me,“Have you finished
your homework or have you practiced your
songs yet?”
Life in my aunt’s den proved to be
really rewarding to me.I used to think she
was mean but not as I look back.I can see
that she was trying to make me an
independent,talented,and knowedgeable
person.Unlike me,my twin brother did just
the opposite and now he has problems.
I spent the biggest part of my life
growing up in the den and for this I thank
her. 1.Before living with her grandmother,the
