1、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.Why was the first heart transplant controversial?【单选题】

A.Because it was not so successful as people had thought.

B.Because some people argued it was not moral to do so.

C.Because the recipient died on the operation table.

D.Because it was the most difficult operation ever known.

正确答案:B

答案解析:由第1段可知，全球范围的moral debate是因为捐者一定会死的。这不同于肾脏移植，因此违背道德。

A.thought

B.idea

C.goal

D.plan

正确答案:C

答案解析:我很想知道你的人生目标是什么。本题有一定难度，虽然选项都是常用词汇，但干扰项干扰较大。aim和goal都有“目标”的意思，是近义词，A项指“思想”，B项指“想法”，D项指“计划”，最佳答案是C。

6、WealthAmong the more colorful characters of Leadville\'s golden age were H. AW. Tabｏｒａｎｄ　his second wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as "Baby Doe". Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West. Horace Austin school teacher in Vermont. With his first wife ａｎｄ　two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, ｏｒperhaps he was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. At any rate, a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. "Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here. " he said.As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville\'s fortune ａｎｄ　wealth. Tabｏｒknew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, ａｎｄ　tobacco. It was his custom to "grubstake" prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food ａｎｄ　supplies, ｏｒ"grub", while they looked fｏｒore, in return fｏｒwhich he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this fｏｒa number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in ａｎｄ　asked fｏｒ"grub". Tabｏｒhad decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, ａｎｄ　Tabｏｒwas too busy to argue with them. "Oh help yourself. One more time won\'t make any difference," He said ａｎｄ　went on selling shoes ａｎｄ　hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in gave Tabｏｒa one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountainside ａｎｄ　began to dig, After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabｏｒbought the shares of the other two men, ａｎｄ　so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the "Pittsburgh Mine," made l,300,000 fｏｒTabｏｒin return fｏｒhis $17 investment.Later Tabｏｒbought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for$117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabｏｒbecame its first mayor, ａｎｄ　later became lieutenant governｏｒof the state.The underlying reason fｏｒTabor\'s life career is _____.【单选题】

C.through the help from his second wife

D.he planned well ａｎｄ　accomplished targets step by step

答案解析:由原文可知Tabor的财产来源是有一定偶然性的，但是毕竟也是基于他开创的 grubstake模式，因为A、D都不对，C更是没有根据，因为他还没有娶第二位夫人时这一切就发生了。分析Tabor的做法，会得出B选项所示的结论。

7、Why People Use Pseudonyms (假名字)?You can\'t choose the name you are given at birth, but in many countries you can change it legally when you reach adulthood. Of course, most people never change their names even if they feel unhappy about them. However some people do take this course of action－particularly artists! What makes an artist want to change their name? Sometimes it\'s fｏｒpurely personal reasons, such as the Nobel Prize winning poet from Chile, Neftalf Reyes. He didn\'t want his father to know he was writing poetry, so he changed his name to Pablo Neruda when he was a young man. ____ other times the reason may appear strange, take the case of the Portuguese poet Femando Pessoa, who wrote under 75 different names. The reason? "When I use a different name, I always write in a different way," he explained. In most cases, however , people change their names fｏｒsocial, historical, political, ｏｒcultural reasons. Here are some of the most common: reason. The person\'s real name is just too long ａｎｄ　difficult to remember. Let\'s be honest, Madonna Louise Ciccone is not as easy to remember as just plain Madonna. ａｎｄ　short names are much easier to remember: William Bradley became Brad Pitt ａｎｄ　Edson Arantes do Nascimento became Pele.Sometimes names are changed fｏｒmarketing purposes. Fｏｒexample, if a name sounds too foreign, it may be changed to something that is more recognizable in a market. So in the film world, Ramon Estsvez adopted the name Martin Sheen. ｏｒmaybe the artist\'s real name doesn\'t sound attractive－Chad Everett does sound a lot better than Raymond Cramton.Artists sometimes choose the name of someone they admire. Robert Zimmerman changed his name to Boo Dylan because of his admiration fｏｒthe Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas.Another reason may be practical: in the past, women found it very difficult to get published. To avoid this situation, they sometimes gave themselves men\'s names, so the English authｏｒMary Ann Evans became George Eliot, ａｎｄ　she did get her books published!【单选题】

A.On

B.In

C.At

D.During

答案解析:本题有一定难度，干扰项有一定的干扰性，考点是介词at的固定搭配，答案是C。

8、Desirable Qualities in a TeacherHere I want to try to give you an answer to the question: What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? Probably no two people would draw up exactly similar lists, but I think the following would be generally accepted.First, the teacher\'s personality should be pleasantly live ａｎｄ　attractive. This does not rule out people who are physically plain, ｏｒeven ugly, because many such have great personal charm. I would say that excludes all of dull ｏｒpurely negative personality. I still stick to what I said in my earlier book: that school children probably suffer more from bores than from brutes.Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential fｏｒa teacher to have a great capacity fｏｒsympathy in the literal meaning of that word; a capacity to tune in to the minds ａｎｄ　feelings of other people, especially, since most teachers are school teachers, to the minds ａｎｄ　feelings of children. Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerant not indeed, of what is wrong, but of frailty （脆弱) ａｎｄ　immaturity of human nature which induce people, ａｎｄ　again especially children, to make mistakes.Thirdly, I hold ____ essential fｏｒa teacher to be both intellectually ａｎｄ　morally honest. This does not mean being a plaster saint. It means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths.【单选题】

A.it

B.that

C.which

D.what

正确答案:A

答案解析:此处为“hold+ it+ adj. +to do”固定结构，it作hold的形式宾语。
