"The other kids didn\'t understａｎｄ　us ａｎｄ　we didn\'t understａｎｄ　them. But we\'ve all grown up together, ａｎｄ　today, I\'m popular because I\'m deaf.

2、March MadnessFｏｒthe rest of the month, an epidemic (流行病) will sweep across the US. It will keep kids stay home from school. College students will ignore piles of homework. Employees will suddenly lose their abilities to concentrate.The disease, known as "March Madness", refers to the nearly 65 teams in US men\'s college basketball tournament, it begins on March 15 ａｎｄ　lasts through the beginning of April. 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 fｏｒevery game. Friends compete against friends, husbands against wives, ａｎｄ　colleagues against bosses.Big name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little - known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, fｏｒmany Americans, is an exciting experience. Last year the little - known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.College basketball players are not paid, so the game is making a name fｏｒtheir university ａｎｄ　themselves. But ft doesn\'t mean money isn\'t involved. About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will draw over $ 500 million in advertising revenue this year, topping the post - season revenue, including the NBA (全国篮球协会).What will happen in the remaining part of the month? ____【单选题】

3、The State of Marriage TodayIs there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, ａｎｄ　the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to a spokesperson fｏｒthe National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times, ａｎｄ　extramarital (婚外的) affairs will be even more common than now.But what are the reasons fｏｒthis, ａｎｄ　is the picture really so gloomy (明暗的)? The answer to the first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. The institution of marriage has been based fｏｒyears partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands－as they usually didn\'t have jobs outside the home. But with the rising number of women in well－paying jobs, this is no longer the case, So they don\'t feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic (悲观的) as it seems. While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now simply live together ａｎｄ　don\'t bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do not appear in either the marriage ｏｒdivorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% of first marriages survive.So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isn\'t. ａｎｄ　it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people: they suffer less from stress ａｎｄ　its consequences, such as heart problems, ａｎｄ　married men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage ａｎｄ　apply it to all of our relationships!Which of the following is true about the marriage in the United States today? ____【单选题】

A.Divorce leads to the breakup of the family.

B.More than half of the married couples get divorced.

C.American people marry more than four times.

D.More ａｎｄ　more people are getting divorced.

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，干扰项干扰较大，B的干扰最大，但是原文提到的是almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now，所以B项里，more than half，夸大了原意，所以正确答案应该是D。

4、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 donｏｒgave his ｏｒher heart, he ｏｒshe would obviously ａｎｄ　necessarily die (ｏｒbe 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 donｏｒwere 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 donｏｒwould 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 ｏｒproportion of successful operations ａｎｄ　this, in turn, has led to greater demａｎｄ　fｏｒtransplants. 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　fｏｒorgans, a new moral dilemma has emerged. Fｏｒexample, in the United States there are many people who would survive iflungs were available fｏｒtransplanting. In fact, about 80% of them die before a suitable donｏｒis found. In these circumstances who would decide if a donｏｒwere found whose lungs were equally suitable fｏｒtwo potential recipients?This problem is made worse by the fact that many patients, ｏｒtheir families, become desperate to find a donor. Some succeed in publicizing their situation in newspapers, to politicians ｏｒon 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? ｏｒthe donor? ｏｒthe 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 ｏｒdeath to the patients involved.According to the passage, the new moral dilemma is the result of____.【单选题】

A.a higher proportion of successful operations.

B.too few human organs fｏｒtoo many potential recipients.

C.the argument whether some delicate organs should be transplanted.

D.so many failures in organ transplanting.

正确答案:B

答案解析:由第4段第1句话可以得出，对器官的需求量大、供不应求导致出现新的难题，因此选B。

5、Human Space ExplorationWhile scientists are searching the cause of the Columbia disaster, NASA is moving ahead with plans to develop a new craft that would replace shuttles(航天飞机) on space station missions by2012 ａｎｄ　respond quickly to space station emergencies.The space agency released the first ｓｅｔof mission needs ａｎｄ　requirements several days ago fｏｒme orbital space plane (轨道航天飞机), which would be designed to transport a crew of four to ａｎｄ　from the International Space Station.Although it includes few specifics, the plan states the orbiter(轨道航天飞机) will be safer cheaper ａｎｄ　require less preparation time than the shuttle. It would be able to transport four crew members by 2012 though it would be available fｏｒrescue missions by 2010. NASA says the craft should be able to transport injured ｏｒill space station crew members to "definitive(决定性的) medical care" within 24 hours.The release of the requirements showed NASA remains focused on the long-term priorities of space exploration, even as questions exist concerning the loss of Columbia ａｎｄ　its seven member crew on February l, 2003.Expels at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, have been working fｏｒyears on a successｏｒto the shuttle. The project, known as the Space Launch Initiative (倡议), was divided last year into two parts----one focusing on a future launch vehicle, the other on a space station orbiter. The orbiter is expected to be ready sooner.The program\'s managers say NASA officials have told them not to ａｌｔｅｒSpace Launch Initiative in light of the Columbia disaster.U. S. President George W. Bush asked Congress fｏｒabout US$1 billion fｏｒSpace Launch Initiative in 2004, funds that would be almost equally split between the Orbital Space Plane ａｎｄ　Next Generation Launch Technology.The design of the orbiter indicates ____ .【单选题】

A.NASA\'s determination to continue space exploration

B.NASA\'s disadvantage in space technology

C.the great pressure from Congress on NASA

D.a heavy defeat fｏｒNASA

正确答案:A

答案解析:此题问的是设计这架航天飞机表明了什么？选项A的意思是“NASA继续探索太空的决心”。其他几个选项的意思均与原文不符，所以A为答案。
