(2011·湖北八校第二次联考)
In my profession as an educator and health care provider，I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS.The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life.They have taught me so many things，but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages.Let me tell you about Tyler.
Tyler was born infected with HIV：his mother was also infected.From the very beginning of his life，he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive.When he was five，he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest.This tube was connected to a pump，which he carried in a small backpack on his back.Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream.At times，he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
Tyler wasn’t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease.It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard，wearing his medicineladen backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon.All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him.Tyler’s mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast that she needed to dress him in red.That way，when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard，she could quickly spot him.
This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler.He grew quite ill and，unfortunately，so did his HIVinfected mother.When it became apparent that he wasn’t going to survive，Tyler’s mom talked to him about death.She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too，and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death，Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered，“I might die soon.I’m not scared.When I die，please dress me in red.Mom promised she’s coming to heaven，too.I’ll be playing when she gets there，and I want to make sure she can find me.”
56．What is the boy Tyler’s attitude towards death?
A．pessimistic
B．optimistic
C．sorrowful
D．fearful
57．Tyler requested the writer to dress him in red when he died simply because________.
A．red is a lucky color
B．red might help to cure him
C．his mom could spot him easily
D．he could find more mates by wearing red
58．Which of the following might serve as a possible title for this passage?
A．My unusual profession
B．A caring mother
C．Mother and son
D．Dying in red
59．The underlined word “dynamo” in the fourth paragraph here means________.
A．a promising and helpful youth
B．an extremely energetic person
C．a rare and beautiful flower

More and more people are annoyed at the continually rising house prices.They want to know who is to blame for it.Local governments，developers and speculators (投机商) share a vested (既得的) interest in it.People who are really in need of homes are most likely to suffer heavy losses.
Many local governments depend on selling land to keep its normal operation.The higher land prices，the more money.Therefore，developers back the local governments by buying land at high prices.In return，the governments make favorable policies to help the developers.For example，drive all the possible home buyers to this nasty (危险的) market.They even encourage large numbers of speculators to catch more people.
Rising house prices have already become the fence which divides the Chinese society.It has caused widespread dissatisfaction.The government will lose the support of the common people if leaving house prices out of control.Besides，rising house prices will stop us building the new countryside as the present policy actually forbid people to flow freely from cities to the countryside.
Collecting taxes on houses can fundamentally solve this problem.On one hand，it will discourage the speculators.On the other hand，it will offer a stable tax resource apart from reducing the sales cost of the developers.Secondly，stop the developers selling the houses before completion.If so，the developers will certainly try their best to sell all their houses once completed.And this will also lower speculators’ expectation of price rising，which will decrease speculations.
60．The only victims of rising house prices are________.
A．governments
B．real home buyers
C．developers
D．speculators
61．The local governments reward the developers by________.
A．offering enough land
B．allowing sales in advance
C．providing enough buyers
D．making favorable policies
62．We can infer from the passage that continually rising house prices will________.
A．benefit the government
B．draw more home buyers
C．help the housing industry develop soundly
D．affect the sound development of the Chinese society
63．Collecting taxes on houses has all the following effects except________.
A．making the developers do their best to sell their houses
B．cutting down speculations
C．supplying a stable tax resource for the government
D．decreasing the sales cost

For the people living in the Nile Basin，the river is their life.This 6,825 km waterway，whose watershed (流域) covers three million square kilometers，flows through mountains，woodlands，lakes and deserts.Its potential for fishing，tourism and shipping is great—but so are its challenges.
Water shortage，already serious in Egypt and Sudan，will soon influence several other countries in the watershed as well.Today，about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living.Within the next 25 years，the district’s population is expected to double，adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture.The frequent drought (干旱) adds to the urgency.
Water quality is also a problem.Precious soil is washed out to sea.Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution.Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils.Waterborne diseases continue unchecked.In areas where it’s hot and damp，water hyacinths choke off lakes，dams and other sections of the river，making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward.
Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day.They’ve seen the river change course，and their only source (来源) of water thickened with mud.They’re very poor and have few choices.
But a new program，the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI)，is offering very practical assistance.The program is more than just a watermanagement project.It’s a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district：it concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them.
These are whole ecosystem problems，calling for united solutions (解决办法)．Half the Nile Basin’s countries are among the world’s poorest nations；yet，somehow，they must find the resources，skills and political will to overcome these challenges.
64．What are the great challenges the Nile Basin faces?
A．The development of shipping industry.
B．Overfishing of native people.
C．Water shortage and water quality.
D．Increasing population and tourism.
65．The underlined word “hyacinths” ( in Paragraph 3 ) refers to“________”．
A．animals
B．plants
C．rocks
D．salts
66．The program NBI is mainly aimed at ________.
A．preventing water pollution
B．changing the river course
C．improving living conditions of the poor
D．preventing land from becoming desert
67．What would be the best title of this passage?
A．People’s Life in Egypt and Sudan
B．Frequent Drought in Egypt and Sudan
C．The Poorest Countries in the Nile Basin
D．The Ecosystem Problems in the Nile Basin

The idea for a science experiment can come from an unusual place.After watching a YouTube video of a dancing bird named Snowball，a scientist in California decided to study the ability of animals to keep the beat.
Bird lovers have long claimed that their pets have rhythm，and there are many videos of dancing birds online.Until now，scientists have suspected that humans are the only animals that can accurately keep rhythm with music.
Thanks to Snowball，that_scientific_opinion is changing.Snowball is a cockatoo，a kind of parrot，and his favorite song is “Everybody” by the Backstreet Boys.When he hears the song，he moves his feet and rocks his body with the tempo，or pace of the music，as though he is the only bird member of the boy band.
Aniruddh Patel is a neuroscientist，or a scientist who studies how the brain and the nervous system contribute to learning，seeing and other mental abilities.He works at the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego.After seeing Snowball’ s dance online，Patel visited the cockatoo at the bird rescue facility he’s called home for two years.The scientist played “Everybody” for Snowball and also played versions of the song that were sped up or slowed down.Sometimes，Snowball danced too fast or too slowly.Often，when there was a change in tempo，Snowball adjusted his dancing to match the rhythm.In other experiments，scientists have observed the same abilities in preschool children.
Patel isn’t the only scientist who has studied Snowball’s moves.Adena Schachner，who studies psychology at Harvard University，also wanted to know more about the dancing bird.Schachner’s team played different musical pieces for Snowball and a parrot named Alex，as well as eight human volunteers.The scientists observed that the birds and the humans kept time to the music with about the same accuracy.
Schachner and her team watched thousands of YouTube videos of different animals moving to music.Not all the animals could dance，however.From watching the videos，the scientists observed that only animals that imitate sounds，including 14 parrot species and Asian elephants，accurately moved in time to music.
68．The underlined words “that scientific opinion” in the third paragraph refer to the theory that________.
A．birds like Snowball have the ability to keep the beat
B．humans are the only animals that can accurately keep rhythm with music
C．the brain and the nervous system contribute to some mental abilities
D．bird pets can have their special rhythm under human’s instruction
69．From the fourth paragraph we may know that________.
A．Patel is the only scientist who has studied Snowball’s moves.
B．Snowball is able to adjust his dancing to match the rhythm.
C．Snowball cannot dance to the versions of the song Everybody.
D．it is the brain and the nervous system that control the mental abilities.
70．The idea of studying animals’ ability to keep the beat comes from________.
A．bird lovers’ discovery
B．humans’ musical sense
C．the same abilities in children
D．videos of dancing birds
71．According to the scientists，Snowball’s ability to dance to music is probably related to the fact that________.
A．it is the only bird member of the Backstreet Boys band
B．it has the ability to imitate sounds
C．it is a kind of dancing parrot
D．it has the same abilities as preschool children

If，for some reason，you had 2,010 empty plastic bottles，what would you do？You’d probably sell them cheaply，right？But Xia Yu collected 2,010 bottles and built a boat with them.As you read this，Xia is，in fact，on a river somewhere in Anhui，slowly going towards his destination：the Expo Garden in Shanghai.2,010 plastic bottles were to celebrate the Expo 2010 Shanghai.On the opening day of the Expo，Xia，together with five friends，went on a 1,500 km journey from Xiangtan to the Expo Garden，in spite of the doubt whether they’ll make it.After all，the boat they are on can hardly be called a boat.It cost only 2,000 yuan to build in a month.
What’s keeping Xia going is a major cause behind the trip.“We are examining water pollution through our journey and trying to promote a lowcarbon lifestyle.Before we started，no one believed we could sail the boat to the Dongting Lake.But we made it.” But as they expected，the journey has not always been smooth.Of the six from Xiangtan，four gave up.As of press time (截至发稿时)，only Xia and his friend Huang Ying were on the boat.Huang suffered from a disease when they reached Jiujiang，Jiangxi Province.Xia said，“There are so many things that can stop us from making it to Shanghai，like the weather，health，and sometimes swift river water.”
“The boat was produced in a factory according to our design，and perhaps it’s not in a very good condition.But，” Xia
said，“we are wearing life jackets.”“Some boats passing by offered help.” What is more of a reward for Xia and Huang is
that the Yangtze River turned out much cleaner than they had expected.Although Xia and Huang are uncertain about the journey ahead，they are “quite happy” with what they have already achieved.“After all，it’s not the destination that counts.It’s always the course that matters the most.”
72．Xia Yu doubts the success of the journey because of________.
A．such a long journey on the river
B．the poor boat and the bad weather
C．few people taking part in the journey
D．the seriously polluted river in some parts
73．Which of the following is NOT the purpose of the journey?
A．To examine water pollution.
B．To celebrate the Expo 2010 Shanghai.
C．To win a race on the water.
D．To promote a lowcarbon lifestyle.
74．From the text we know that________.
A．they stay on the boat at night
B．three people gave up due to their bad health
C．Xia Yu and his mate have arrived in Shanghai
D．Huang suffered from a disease on the journey
75．The last paragraph tells us Xia Yu and Huang Ying________.
A．pay more attention to the process
B．are sure to arrive at the destination
C．helped turn the Yangtze River cleaner
D．are happy because of their final success

Walking is the best and the cheapest way to lose weight.The best time to walk to lose weight is in the early morning in fresh air，because it has many benefits.Firstly，it doesn’t disturb your daily routine activities.Secondly，it does not only help lose weight，but it’s also useful for good health.Thirdly，you won’t get an excuse that you didn’t get time to go for
your workout due to your tight schedule.It’s scientifically proved that walking in the early morning to lose weight helps you to burn calories faster than at any time of the day.Having a good morning walk and then a healthy breakfast can help to increase the metabolism (新陈代谢) of your body.As the metabolism increases，you burn more calories.
The first thing to do is to set up a goal that you want to achieve.Therefore，work out a walking routine.At first，start walking three times a week，and then slowly increase it to five times a week.It’s advisable not to overdo walking，as it can have side effects on the body.Here are certain easy steps that you need to follow when you start your daily walking routine.
Warmup is an important activity that is to be done before you start to do any kind of exercise.A light warmup period of about 15 minutes is enough.It will warm up your muscles and avoid any injury to your body.Exercising without warmup can be dangerous and must be avoided.
Make sure that you don’t stop anywhere in between your 30 or 45 minutes’ walk.Slow down if necessary.Stopping in your walk won’t help you.Instead，slowing down your speed will help to burn more calories.
While walking，take long strides (步伐) and swing your arms in a rhythm.This will use up muscles and help burn more calories.
In a word，regularity and correctness in walking is the key to success.Best of luck！

W：Hi，paul！What’s up?
M：Hi，Helen.I have some bad news.I got fired.
W：Oh，no！You must be kidding.You told me last time it was a good job and you’d like to take it as a career.That was only one week ago.How come?
M：It’s a long story.In a word，I didn’t do a good job of it.I messed up a business deal，a deal that would make ten million dollars and I messed it up.
W：I’m sorry，man.Then what are you going to do now?
M：I’m looking for a job.Mary doesn’t know yet.I spent the last three days staying at this coffee store.She thought I went to work as usual.
W：That’s not the way to solve the problem.Did you check the classified ads in the newspaper?
M：Yes，but I don’t think they’ll work out.I find some good ones，but I’m not qualified though.
W：Listen，I’ll see what I can do，OK？You now go home and tell Mary the whole story.She is your wife.She’ll understand.
M：I just don’t know how to bring it up.Well，all right.She has the right to know it，anyway.
W：You are right.
