Teams compete against each other in a single elimination tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will become the prisoners of basketball festival madness.The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game.

2、A New Doctors\' DilemmaWhen Christian Barnard, a South African doctor, performed the first human heart transplant in1967, the result was a worldwide moral debate on the ethics of transplanting organs. Hearts were not the first human organs to be transplanted but, in this case, if a donor gave his or her heart, he or she would obviously and necessarily die (or be dead). Kidney transplants, which were already quite common in 1967, often involved the transfer of a single kidney from a close living relative. The chances of survival of the donor were somewhat diminished because he now had only one kidney and if that kidney were affected by disease, he would not have a healthy kidney in reserve. Nevertheless, the donor would certainly not necessarily die.Undoubtedly, another reason why the first heart transplant was so controversial was the fact that we associate so many personality traits with the heart. Questions were asked of the type: "If a person had a different heart, would he still be the same person?", or "If doctors needed a dying person\'s heart, would they tend to declare him dead prematurely?", and so on.Today, not only hearts and kidneys, but also such extremely delicate organs as lungs and livers, are transplanted. These developments have led to a far higher or proportion of successful operations and this, in turn, has led to greater demand for transplants. At the same time, many of the original moral questions surrounding heart transplants have been almost forgotten.However, as a result of the heavy demand for organs, a new moral dilemma has emerged. For example, in the United States there are many people who would survive iflungs were available for transplanting. In fact, about 80% of them die before a suitable donor is found. In these circumstances who would decide if a donor were found whose lungs were equally suitable for two potential recipients?This problem is made worse by the fact that many patients, or their families, become desperate to find a donor. Some succeed in publicizing their situation in newspapers, to politicians or on television. Sometimes, as a result, suitable donors are found. But what would happen if another patient needed the organ more than the one who got the publicity? Who would decide if the other patient should get the organ? Would it be the doctors? Or the donor? Or the family who got the publicity? If such a dilemma developed it would be very difficult to resolve and it would be a matter of life or death to the patients involved.Which of the following is true?【单选题】

A.Kidney transplant operations were not corumon until 1967.

B.Kidney s for transplant operations had to come from dead people in 1967.

C.Kidney transplant operations were performed before heart transplant operations.

D.Heart transplant operations were as common as kidney transplant operations.

正确答案:C

答案解析:A选项的时间不对；B选项的内容不对，活体可以做肾脏移植；D选项说心脏移植是个突破，不是common thing，，因此C正确。

3、Three Ways to Become More CreativeMost people believe they don\'t have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn\'t always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! There are three techniques to help you.This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles, light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night. Imagine that normal limitations don\'t exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski (滑雪), you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators (谈判者) use this technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can\'t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself "in their shoes". The best fishermen think they are the fish!We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself: ____.【单选题】

A.what do I usually do?

B.what did my boss tell me to do?

C.what are my customers\' needs?

D.how should I sell my products?

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题难度不大，读完文章，可以推断出，销售人员要站在消费者的立场上考虑，所以不难找到答案。答案依据是最后一段：Good negotiators (谈判者) use this technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books.

4、Robotic Highway ConesA University of Nebraska professor has developed robotic cones and barrels. These robotic cones and barrels can move out of the way, or into place, from computer commands made miles away. .They can even be programmed to move on their own at any particular part of the day, said Shane Farritor, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Nebraska.For example, if workers arrived at 6 am, the cones could move from the side of the highway to block off the lane at that time. And they can return to the original place at the end of the day. "It just seems like a very good application for robots," Farritor said. "The robotic cones would also help remove people from hazardous jobs on the highway putting barrels and cones into place," Farritor said in a report on his creation. Word on the idea began in 2002 using a National Academy of Sciences grant . The fund allowed Farritor to work on the project with graduate students at Nebraska and his assistant Steve Goddard.The robots are placed at the bottom of the cones and barrels and are small enough not to greatly change the appearance of the construction aides. "It would look exactly the same," Farritor said. "Normally there\'s a kind of rubbery, black base to them. We replace that with a robot. .Farritor has talked with officials from the Nebraska Department of Roads about how the robots would be most useful to what they might needThe robots could come in handy following a slow-moving maintenance operation, like painting a stripe on a road or moving asphalt, where now the barrels have to be picked up and moved as the operation proceeds. "That way you don\'t have to block off a l0-mile strip for the operation. " Farritor said.While prototypes have been made, they are not in use anywhere. Farritor said he has applied for a patent and is considering what to do next. ____ He is also thinking about marketing the robots to roads departments and others across the country which may benefit from them.【单选题】

A.And they can return to the original place at the end of the day.

B.He is thinking about starting a small business.

C.Farritor was "Inventor of the Year" in 2003.

D.Word on the idea began in 2002 using a National Academy of Sciences grant

E.We replace that with a robot.

F.These robotic cones and barrels can move out of the way, or into place, from computer commands made miles away.

正确答案:B

答案解析:本段的第4句“He is also thinking about. . . ”中的also是一个重要的线索，说明前面一定出现过“he is thinking”。但是在前面两句中没有找到，那么本段中要恢复的句子一定是 B句。

5、An Early Form of Jazz MusicMusic comes in many forms; most countries have a style of their own. At the turn of the last century, when jazz was born, America had no prominent music 0f its own. No one knows exactly when was invented or by whom. But it began to be heard in the early 1890s. Jazz is America\'s contribution to popular music. In contrast to classical music, which follows formal European traditions, jazz is spontaneous and free in form. It bubbles with energy, expressing the moods, interests, and emotions of the people. In the 1920s\' jazz sounded like America. And so it does today. The origins 0f the music are as interesting as the music itself. American Negroes, or blacks, as they are called today, were the jazz pioneers. They were brought to the Southern states as slaves. They were sold to plantation owners and forced to work long hours. When a Negro died, his friends and relatives formed a procession to carry to body to the cemetery. In New Orleans, a band often accompanied the body . On the way to the cemetery the band played slow, solemn music, suited to the occasion. Furthermore 0n the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Death had removed one of their numbers, but the living were glad to be alive . The band played happy music, improvising on both the harmony and the melody of the tunes ____ at the funeral. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early form ofjazz. 【单选题】
