1、Surprised by a MiracleI had been working in the trauma unit at a local hospital fｏｒabout a year. You get used to families thinking that a "coma" patient is moving their hａｎｄ　ｏｒdoing something that they were asked to do. "Following commands" is what we call it. Often it\'s "wishful thinking" on the Families\' part. Nurses can easily become callous to it.On this particular night during visiting hours, my patient\'s wife came in. I had taken care of him fｏｒseveral nights. I was very familiar with his care ａｎｄ　what he was able to do. Actually, he didn\'t do anything. He barely moved at all, even when something would obviously hurt him, such as suctioning.His wife was very short, about 5 feet tall. She had to stａｎｄ　on a stool to lean over him, so that she could see his face ａｎｄ　talk to him. She climbed up on the stool. I spoke to her fｏｒa few minutes, ａｎｄ　then stepped out to tend to my other patient. A few minutes later, she came running out of the room. In an excited voice, she said, "Donna, he\'s moving his hand!"I immediately thought that it was probably her imagination, ａｎｄ　that he had not actually done it on purpose. He had been there about a month at the time ａｎｄ　had never made any movements on purpose. I asked her what had happened ａｎｄ　she said, "I asked him to squeeze my hａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　he did!"This led me to another train of questioning. "But, did he let go when you asked him to?" She said yes, that he had done exactly what she asked.I went into the room with her, not really believing that I would see anything different than I had always seen. But I decided that it would be better to pacify her than to make her think I didn\'t believe her ｏｒthat she was somehow mistaken.She asked him to squeeze her hand, which he did. I said, "Well, ask him to let go. " He continued to squeeze fｏｒa moment, so that when he finally did let go, I really still didn\'t believe that he had done it on purpose. So, I said, "Ask him to hold up one finger. " He did as asked.Well, hmm, this was starting to get my attention. I looked at him, his face still somewhat swollen ａｎｄ　his eyes still closed. "Stick out your tongue!" I said. He did it. I almost fell on the floor. It was the first time I had ever seen anyone "wake up. "The first paragraph indicates that more often than not a coma patient ____.【单选题】

A.is found to be following commands

B.is thought to be following commands

C.is used to following commands

D.is callous to nurses\' commands

正确答案:B

答案解析:从短文的第一段可以得知，昏迷病人的家属时常以为病人能动了，但大多数情况下，这只是他们的愿望思维，病人并没有真正有意识地在动。

2、The Only Way Is Up Think of a modem city ａｎｄ　the first image that come to mind is the skyline. It is full of great buildings, pointing like fingers to heaven. It is true that some cities don\'t permit buildings to go above a certain height. But these are cities concerned with the past. The first thing any city does when it wants to tell the world that it has arrived is to build skyscrapers. When people gather together in cities, they create a demａｎｄ　fｏｒlａｎｄ　since cities are places where money is made, that demａｎｄ　can be met. ａｎｄ　the best way to make money out of city lａｎｄ　is to put as many people as possible in a space that covers the smallest amount of ground that means building upwards. The technology existed to do this as early as the 19th century. But the height of buildings was limited by one important factor. They had to be small enough fｏｒpeople on the top floors to climb stairs. People could not be expected to climb a mountain at the end of their journey to work, ｏｒhome. Elisha Otis, a US inventor, was the man who brought us the lift ｏｒelevator, as he preferred to call it. However, most of the technology is very old lifts work using the same pulley system the Egyptians used to create the Pyramids. What Otis did was attach the system to a steam engine ａｎｄ　develop the elevatｏｒbrake, which stops the lift falling if the cords that hold it up are broken. It was this that did the most to gain public confidence in the new invention. In fact, he spent a number of years exhibiting lifts at fairgrounds, giving people the chance to try them out before selling the idea to architects ａｎｄ　builders. A lift would not be a very good theme park attraction now. Going in a lift is such an everyday thing that it would just be boring. Yet psychologists ａｎｄ　others who study human behaviｏｒfind lifts fascinating. The reason is simple. Scientists have always studied animals in zoos. The nearest they can get to that with humans is in observing them in lifts. "It breaks all the usual conventions about the bubble of personal space we carry around with us ａｎｄ　you just can\'t choose to move away," says workplace psychologist, Gary Fitzgibbon. Being trapped in this setting can create different types of tensions, he says. Some people are scared of them. Others use them as an opportunity to get close to the boss. Some stａｎｄ　close to the door. Others hide in the comers. Most people try ａｎｄ　shrink into the background but some behave in a way that makes others notice them. There are a few people who just stａｎｄ　in a comer taking notes. Don\'t worry about them. They are probably from a university.Psychologists find the lift a good place where they can study human behaviｏｒbecause____.【单选题】

A.here humans behave the way animals do

B.people in a lift are all scared

C.here some people take notes

D.in a lift the bubble of personal space breaks

正确答案:D

答案解析:电梯的空间狭小，相对拥挤，人们想要享有私人空间的要求在这里成了幻想，如同关在动物园的笼子里的动物一般，这为心理学家提供了一个研究在这种情况下人的行为的难得的机会。

3、Computer crimesMore ａｎｄ　more, the operations of our business, governments, ａｎｄ　financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information fｏｒhis own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this ａｎｄ　been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It\'s easy fｏｒcomputer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing, but even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected but it\'s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections ｏｒother security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Fｏｒexample, a certain keypunch operatｏｒcomplained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were fｏｒdishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, ｏｒgo to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations ａｎｄ　perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled the most confidential records right under the noses of the company\'s executives, accountants, ａｎｄ　security staff. ａｎｄ　so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.The underlying reason fｏｒthe computer criminals to get recommendations he needs is that ____.【单选题】

A.they have skills formidably difficult fｏｒothers to master

B.the employers are afraid that they would take avenge if punished

C.the employers are much afraid of bringing the public into disbelief towards them through the criminals words in open court

D.those who commit crimes do not mean bad

正确答案:C

答案解析:雇主对计算机犯罪者的宽容可能有各种原因。A、B、C、D所说的情形，在现实中都可以出现，但文中提到的只有C项，参见末段。

4、Cooking Oil Fumes Cause TumorThe leading cause of lung cancer among women in the city was cooking oil fumes while men are more likely to develop the disease from smoking, said medical experts after a fiveyear research study.Doctors announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies in lung cancer, They said patients are younger, especially women.According to the Shanghai Tumｏｒresearch Institute, more local residents die of lung cancer in the city than anything else. Following breast cancer, it has the second-highest incidence rate."An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason fｏｒlung cancer," said Dr He Yumin from Shanghai Minshen Traditional Chinese Medicine TumｏｒDiagnosis ａｎｄ　Treatment Center.He followed 2,276 lung cancer patients fｏｒfive years. Among them, 1,433 were male.Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only 18 percent of female patients developed cancer from smoking ｏｒinhaling second-hａｎｄ　smoke, according to the report.However, more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term, close contact with strong oil fumes from cooking ａｎｄ　complained about irritated eyes ａｎｄ　throat.About 32 percent of women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens ａｎｄ　about 25 percent of women\'s bedrooms were adjacent to the kitchen.However, local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer. Some claimed they may change food preparation methods. "Unless my family ａｎｄ　I don\'t eat at home every day, I must stay in the kitchen to cook," said Xu Li, a 45-year-old local woman. "I know the fumes are bad fｏｒthe skin, but it is the first time I heard that it can result in lung cancer. I have already started frying less. "Doctors said women\'s lung cancer had few links to personal health ａｎｄ　physical condition, but was closely related to family cancer history, unhealthy dietary habits ａｎｄ　weak immune systems.Other experts agreed with him."Smoking is by far the biggest cause of lung cancer fｏｒmen," said Dr. Tan Binyong, honorary president of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University\'s Medical College. "It\'s true that second-hａｎｄ　smoke ａｎｄ　cooking fumes are the main causes among women. "His research also warned people not to stａｎｄ　near of stalls selling fried foods due to the poｏｒquality of oils used.The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume fｏｒa long time, experts said.What a new tendency in lung cancer is concluded by the researchers?【单选题】

A.Men are more likely to develop lung cancer than women

B.Women are more likely to develop lung cancer than men

C.Patients with lung cancer become older, especially males

D.Patients with lung cancer become younger, especially females

正确答案:D

答案解析:主旨题。题干考查的是研究者关于肺癌新趋势的结论。答案参见第二段：They said patients are younger，especially women（肺癌的新趋势就是“病人更年轻，尤其是妇女”）。故正确答案为D。

5、Flu doesScratchy throats, stuffy noses ａｎｄ　body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold ｏｒflu may make a difference in how long the misery lasts.The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds ａｎｄ　the flu, ａｎｄ　one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. That\'s because the prescription drugs available fｏｒthe flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As fｏｒcolds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come.The common cold ａｎｄ　the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses-flu A, B ａｎｄ　C. There is no cure fｏｒeither illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine (疫苗), which is, fｏｒmost people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA.But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu ａｎｄ　common cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for.Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose ａｎｄ　scratchy throat typically develop gradually, ａｎｄ　adults ａｎｄ　teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu fｏｒall ages. ａｎｄ　in general, flu symptoms including fever ａｎｄ　chills, sore throat ａｎｄ　body aches come on suddenly ａｎｄ　are more severe than cold symptoms.The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants ａｎｄ　preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctｏｒif their small children have flu-like symptoms.Both cold ａｎｄ　flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children ａｎｄ　teens with a cold ｏｒflu should not take aspirin fｏｒpain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome (综合症), a rare but serious condition of the liver ａｎｄ　central nervous system.There is, of course, no vaccine fｏｒthe common cold but frequent hａｎｄ　washing ａｎｄ　avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one.Which of the following symptoms will distinguish the flu from a cold?【单选题】

A.A stuffy nose.

B.A high temperature.

C.A sore throat.

D.A dry cough.

正确答案:B

答案解析:从第五段第二句可知“对于任何年龄段来讲发烧是流感的显著特征之一”。
