灵

2 博尔和家人走进拥挤的圣约翰联合基督教会体育馆，发现很多人

排着长队等座。对此他已司空见惯。伊利诺伊州莫克那镇的火鸡宴

已成为深受欢迎的活动，成百上千的人从芝加哥周围的郊区赶来参

加这项活动。许多人甚至不是这个教会的会员，他们只是听说这里

有美食，愿意花上10美元饱餐一顿，同时为教会的新活动中心做点

贡献。博尔和妻子达娜还有他们14岁的儿子凯尔每年都来。

3 博尔刚坐下，还没来得及把餐巾在膝盖上放好，就听到房间另一

头传来了喧闹声。“快帮帮忙！”一个女人大叫着。“有人知道怎么做

海姆利克急救吗？”

6 这太不可思议了，博尔心想。他开始担心自己救不了她。抬起头，他认出了史蒂夫?霍布林，他办公室附近一家医院的护士。“史蒂夫，你把手指伸进她的喉咙，看看能否掏出什么，”他吩咐道。霍布林将

手指伸进去，掏出了一小块火鸡。

7 但是帕特仍然没有呼吸。事实上，她的脸色正在迅速变青。显然

她的喉咙里还卡着食物。博尔知道，要把空气送入她的肺部，必须

采取极端的行动，而且要快。唯一可以做的就是进行紧急气管切开

手术。

8 “打911！给我拿把锋利的刀过来！”他大声喊道。他的妻子赶紧

跑向厨房，霍布林则把他的小折刀递了过来。

9 博尔以前从未做过这种手术。他回想起唯一一次看过别人做这种

手术，还是20年前在医院实习的时候。那次手术是由外科专家在无

菌并且可控的环境里进行的。而他自己只是一个家庭医生，怎么能

在一个教会晚宴上用一把钝钝的小折刀完成这种手术呢？

10 当他看到妻子给他找到了一把干净的水果刀才放了心。博尔深吸一口气，小心翼翼地在帕特的颈部切了个小口子。血一下子从伤口

涌出来，他出了一身冷汗。但是博尔明白，现在已经不能停止了。

两三分钟宝贵的时间已经过去了，没有氧气，她坚持不了多久。博

尔推测自己大约只有45秒钟的时间来挽救她的生命。

11 周围的人群屏住呼吸看着他工作，但他丝毫没有感觉到。博尔稳

住双手，继续手术。但是水果刀切得不够深。这时，不知哪位男士

递给博尔一把弹簧刀。这把刀刀口尖细，锃亮锋利，三英寸的刀片稳固地锁在刀鞘里。博尔很快完成了切割。

12 然后，科琳似乎看出了他的心思，将一根气管套管递给了他。她儿子肖恩，即帕特的孙子，患有一种严重的肺病，需要一根管子才能保持呼吸道通畅，但是个把小时不用管子问题也不大。

13 每过一秒，帕特的脸色就更青一点。科琳帮助博尔将管子轻轻地推进帕特的喉咙里。时间一秒一秒地过去，感觉却像是一分一分地在流逝，但是这两个人镇静地工作着，配合得天衣无缝——就像一个手术小组一样，博尔心想。

14 “进去了。”最后管子一放好，博尔就说道。

15 但是危机还远未结束。博尔必须将这位昏迷的老太太弄醒。庆幸的是，她的家人出门总是带着急救箱，里面有手动苏醒气囊，这是以防肖恩出现呼吸困难而准备的。

16 科琳将气囊扣到管子上，开始打气。不一会儿，帕特?罗勒开始呼吸，脸色也恢复了正常。 17 医护人员赶来接管了剩下的事情，博尔站起来，浑身颤抖。当年他辞去社会工作者工作去上医学院的时候，自然没有预见会遇到这种事。

18 “我不是一个狂热的教徒，”博尔说，“但我现在知道了，上帝会去参加教会的火鸡晚宴。把一个不明就里的医生带到这儿，并给他合适的工具——我不知道自己是如何想到该怎么做。我无法解释这一切，只能说是上帝显灵了。”

19 也许是吧，但莫克那镇防火区主任助理霍华德?斯蒂芬斯很快指出：“要是没有博尔医生，这位女士是不可能起死回生的。”

20 科琳的婆婆怀着感激之情回家了，没有任何因在手术中使用了折叠刀而感染的迹象。科琳说：“在这个容易惹上官司的时代，博尔医生敢于冒这样的风险，挺身而出，实在是太让人感激了。”

21 十一月的那个晚上晚些时候，罗布?博尔从医院回来之后，发现还有一件事有待完成。他晃进教会厨房，挽起袖子。“需要洗碗的时候上帝通常不会显灵。”他说道。

1. after a hectic week treating patients with sore throats and ear infections at his family practice, the 52-year-old physician was ready for a night of home cooking and fellowship at his church’s annual fund-raising dinner.

这位52岁的内科医生在他的家庭诊所忙碌了整整一个星期，治疗那些患有咽喉疼痛或耳朵感染的病人，这时正准备在他所属教会的年度筹款晚宴上享受一些家常烹饪，并和教友相聚

2. they’d simply heard about the good food an d were willing to pay $10 to heap their plates and help pay for the church’s new community center.

许多人甚至不是这个教会的会员，他们只是听说这里有美食，愿意

花上10美元饱餐一顿，同时为教会的新活动中心做点贡献。

3. he was relieved to see that his wife had found a clean

paring knife.

当他看到妻子给他找到了一把干净的水果刀才放了心。

4. fortunately, her family never went anywhere without an emergency kit containing a manual resuscitator bag, just in case shaun had trouble breathing.

庆幸的是，她的家人出门总是带着急救箱，里面有手动苏醒气囊，

这是以防肖恩出现呼吸困难而准备的。

5. we are so thankful that in this age of lawsuits, dr. boll was willing to put himself on the line. 在这个容易惹上官司的时代，博

尔医生敢于冒这样的风险，挺身而出，实在是太让人感激了。

1. luck does not always _____________ (起作用) in examinations. it is your hard work that matters.

2. with the treatment, _______________ (面色恢复) to the woman’s cheeks.

__________________ (没有感染的迹象). 去美国和英国能带些什么？去美国能带什么？

1 当您去美国或回美国时，必须先过美国海关。

2 美国海关是美国财政部的一个分支机构，负责对进口到美国的商

品收取关税和其他税。 3 在飞机上，您会得到一张海关申报表，并

要求填写。到达航站大楼时您要将此表交给海

关官员。海关官员会询问您来美国的目的。回答要简短、直接而真实，避免提供多余信息。如有必要，海关官员会询问更多的细节。

4 如果海关官员怀疑有人要走私物品到美国，就会检查行李、货物

和旅客。许多机场都有嗅探犬，用来搜查毒品或农产品。您应提前

查阅美国海关网址，该网址为进入美国的外国游客提供了指南。

注意事项

5 你可以携带价值不超过100美元的礼品进入美国而不需付关税。

6 不要将食品带入美国。将易变质的食物类产品带入美国是违法的，这包括水果、蔬菜、肉和植物。如果飞机上附赠的食物没吃完，就

把食物留在飞机上。

7 家用织品、衣服、专业设备和其他家用物品可以免税入关，但这

些物品必须已经拥有一段时间，且不能转售。

8 某些动物产品不能带入美国。欲知详情，可与动植物卫生检疫局

联系。

9 可以带多少现金进入美国没有限制。但是，如果您随身携带的现

金超过一万美元，必须向美国海关报告。

10 任何含有麻醉成分或由针管注射的药品必须附有医生的签名处方。走私麻醉品的处罚十分严厉。

去英国能带什么？

11 进入英国的最后一关是通过英国皇家税务海关总署。只要遵循几条简单规则就不会很复杂。

12 入关速度也比您预想的快。在海关入关方面，欧盟国家设有三种通道。如果您是来自另外一个欧盟国家，不论持有何种护照，提取

行李后可选择蓝色通道。如果您来自欧盟以外的国家，要么选择绿

色通道——如果根据免税上限无物品可申报，要么选择红色通道——如果您的物品价值超过了免税额度。

13 入关通报是建立在诚信制度上的。然而请记住：虽然这种情况不常发生，但在绿色或蓝色通道处您可能要停下来接受随机检查，而

且对违法行为的处罚非常严厉。

白鹭

1 六月的一个黄昏，森林里树影婆娑，一个小女孩正在其中匆匆穿行。已经是晚上八点了，西尔维娅想，这么晚回家，外婆会不会生

气呢？

2 每天傍晚五点半，西尔维娅就离开外婆家去把母牛牵回家。她的

活就是把这头牲口赶回家挤奶。母牛听到西尔维娅叫她的声音时，

老是躲到灌木丛中去。

3 这天晚上，西尔维娅花了比平时更长的时间才找到母牛。小女孩

赶着牛，匆匆穿过阴暗的树林，向外婆家走去。母牛在一条小溪边

停下来饮水时，西尔维娅就把她的光脚浸在冰凉清澈的溪水中。

4 她以前从未这么晚还独自一人呆在林子里。西尔维娅觉得自己仿

佛与灰暗的树影和在晚风中摇曳的银色树叶融为一体了。

5 她是一年前才来到外婆的农场。之前，她和父母住在一个肮脏拥

挤的工业小镇。一天，西尔维娅的外婆来看望他们，在西尔维娅所

有的兄弟姐妹中挑中了她，把她带回佛蒙特州的农场做帮手

6 母牛喝完水后，这个九岁的小女孩继续在林中匆匆前行。突然，

不远处传来一声尖锐的口哨声，打破了林中的宁静。西尔维娅知道，这不是鸟儿亲切的啼鸣。于是她不顾母牛，躲进了一丛灌木，但是

已经太晚了。

7 “嗨，小姑娘，这儿离大路有多远啊？”一个年轻人高兴地喊道。

西尔维娅浑身颤抖，低声嗫嚅道：“两英里。”她从灌木丛中钻出来，抬头看到一个高高的小伙子，手里拿着一杆

枪。

8 西尔维娅继续赶着母牛穿过森林，陌生人跟着她走。“我是来寻找鸟的，”他解释道，“但我迷了路，我能不能在你们家住一宿？”西尔

维娅没有回答。她很高兴看到外婆正站在农舍门口等她。

9 他们走上前去，陌生人向西尔维娅的外婆说明了他的困境，外婆

一脸笑意。

10“您当然可以住在这里。”她说道，“我们不怎么富裕，但还是欢迎您和我们分享一切。好了，西尔维娅，给这位先生拿只盘子。”

11 晚饭后，三人都坐到屋外。年轻人解释说他是个鸟类收藏家。

“您把它们关在笼子里吗？”西尔维娅问道。“不，”他慢慢地回答，“我用枪把它们打下来，然后用一些专门的化学药物把它们制成标本

保存起来。我已经有来自美国各地一百多种不同鸟类的标本了。”

12 “西尔维娅对鸟也很熟悉。”外婆自豪地说，“她对这片林子了如

指掌，野生动物甚至都会到她身边，吃她手里的面包。”

13 “这样或许她能帮帮我。”年轻人说，“两天前我看见一只白鹭，

然后一直在寻找它，这种鸟非常少见。你见过它吗？”他问西尔维娅，但西尔维娅沉默不语。“只要见到它，你就会知道是它。”年轻人说，“这种鸟体型高大，非常奇特，羽毛又白又软，双腿细长。它很可能

把巢筑在大树的顶端。”

14 西尔维娅的心开始狂跳，她在森林的另一头见过这只奇特的白鸟。年轻人盯着西尔维娅说：“谁能帮我找到那只鸟，我就付给她十美元。”

15 那天晚上，西尔维娅的梦里尽是她和外婆用这十美元能买到的好东西。

16 第二天，西尔维娅和年轻人在林子里呆了一整天。他告诉了她许

多关于他们看到的鸟的事情。西尔维娅不明白，为什么他看起来这

么喜爱这些鸟，但却要把它们杀死。每当他把一只毫无戒心正在唱

歌的小鸟从枝头打落时，她的心都颤抖不已。

17 要是他手里没有枪，西尔维娅准会更加喜欢他。白日将尽，西尔维娅仍然满怀钦慕之情地注视着这个年轻人，沉睡在这个孩子心底

的那颗女性之心被一种爱恋的梦幻轻轻地搅动了。他们时而停住脚步，聆听鸟儿的歌唱；时而拨开树枝向前急行，偶尔耳语几句。西

尔维娅落后几步跟在年轻人的后面，心醉神迷，那双灰色的眼睛因

兴奋而变得黑亮。

18 月亮早己爬上树梢，年轻人也进入了梦乡，西尔维娅却无法入睡。她想出了一个主意，既能为外婆拿到十美元，又能让年轻人高兴。

拂晓时分，她悄悄离开家，匆匆穿过森林，最后来到一棵大松树前。她打算爬到树顶，在那儿能看到整个森林。她确信在那里能看到白

鹭隐蔽着的巢。

19 西尔维娅用赤脚和小手紧紧扒住粗糙的树干，越爬越高，松树尖硬的枝条像猫爪一样抓挠着她。

20 西尔维娅终于攀上了松树最上面的一根枝桠，这时，金色的阳光倾泻而下，映照着整个青翠的森林。两只鹰在西尔维娅脚下很远的

地方缓缓盘旋，西尔维娅觉得自己仿佛也能在白云间自由地飞翔。

21 突然，一道白光映入西尔维娅的眼帘，越来越大。那是一只有着白色大翅膀和细长脖子的鸟，它掠过西尔维娅，停在了她下面的一

枝松桠上。这只白鹭理了理羽毛，对停在附近一棵树上的鸟巢里的

同伴叫了一声，然后飞走了。

22 西尔维娅长长地呼了一口气。现在她知道这只野鸟的秘密了。她开始慢慢地从这颗老松树上往下爬，可下去很危险，她都不敢往下看，只能尽量不去想受伤的手指和流血的双脚。她现在只想知道，

当她把白鹭的巢在哪儿告诉年轻人的时候，他会对她说些什么。

23 大约一小时后，西尔维娅回到了家。当她走进厨房时，外婆和年轻人都站了起来。宣布她秘密的最佳时刻来临了，西尔维娅却陷入

了沉默。她想起那只白鹭在金色的天空中翱翔，他们在世界之巅一

起观赏日出。西尔维娅不能说。她不能泄露白鹭的秘密，断送它的

生命。

24 那天晚些时候，年轻人失望地离开了，再也没有回来。很多个夜晚，西尔维娅仿佛又听见他的口哨声在树林里回荡。他那尖利的枪

声，画眉与麻雀无声的坠落，鸟儿的歌声戛然而止，美丽的羽毛血

污模糊??她甚至忘记了看到这一切时的悲伤。

25 鸟儿是比猎手更好的朋友吗？可这又有谁知道呢？

1. it was already eight o’clock and sylvia wondered if her grandmother would be angry with her for being so late.

已经是晚上八点了，西尔维娅想，这么晚回家，外婆会不会生气呢？

2. the child hurried the cow through the dark forest, toward

her grandmother’s home. 小女孩赶着牛，匆匆穿过阴暗的树林，

向外婆家走去。

3. she felt her heart tremble every time he shot an unsuspecting bird as it was singing in the trees.

每当他把一只毫无戒心正在唱歌的小鸟从枝头打落时，她的心都颤

抖不已。

4. the white heron smoothed its feathers and called to its mate, sitting on their nest in a nearby tree.

这只白鹭理了理羽毛，对停在附近一棵树上的鸟巢里的同伴叫了一声。

5. many a night sylvia heard the echo of his whistle haunting the forest.

很多个夜晚，西尔维娅仿佛又听见他的口哨声在树林里回荡。

1. he picked up his bag and (急急忙忙

地沿着站台走了).

2. he was shaking with fright as if (就像见了鬼似的).

3.if you had told me earlier, i (不会签合同).

4. the fireman gave a long sigh as he(又看到一道红光).

the businessman spoke so carefully in order not to

(泄露他的计划).

iii. reading comprehension (20%)

directions: in this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked a, b, c and d. choose the one that you think is the best answer. please write your answers on your answer sheet.

passage one

when a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturers claims, the first step is to present the warranty (保修), or any other records which

might help, at the store of purchase. in most cases, this action will produce results. however, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. a simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. in general, the “higher up” his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. in such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.

consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of

purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.

complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. if this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. for example, “the left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is uncle ar” is better than “this stereo does not work”. the store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer. if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. she or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization

responsible for protecting consumers rights.

56. when a consumer finds that his or her in it, the first thing he or she should do is to _______.

a. complain personally to the manager

b. threaten (威胁) to take the matter to court

c. write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase

d. show some written proof (证明; 证据) of the purchase to the store

57. how can a consumer make his or her complaint more effective, according to the passage?

a. explain exactly what is wrong with the item

b. threaten to take the seller to court.

c. make polite and general statements about the problem.

d. avoid having direct contact with the store manager.

58. according to the passage, which of the following is suggested as the last alternative that consumers may turn to?

a. complain to the store manager in person.

b. complain to the manufacturer.

c. write a complaint letter to the manager.

d. turn to the consumers? rights protection organization for help.

59. the phrase “live up to” in this context means _______.

a. meet the standard of

b. realize the purpose of

c. fulfill the demands of

d. keep the promise of

60. the passage tells us _________.

a. how to settle a consumer?s complaint about a faulty item

b. how to make an effective complaint about a faulty item

c. how to avoid buying a faulty item

d. how to deal with complaints from customers

passage two

there are many ways of defining success. it is accurate (精确的) to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic (遗传的) ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.

for some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success. think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd (牧羊人) who tends his sheep, enjoys his frugal life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a

good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. on the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own goals of success. because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set uealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one?s goals at too low a level of achievement.

a wise counselor (顾问) once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success: “you do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway

downtown,” the counselor added, “you have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been

unsuccessful at something you really like, and to which you have given your best effort.”

61. in the first paragraph, the author implies that _______ are essential in achieving success.

a. ability and goals

b. goals and determination

c. ability and environment

d. goals and environment

62. the word “frugal” (line. 2, para 2.) means ________.

a. wealthy

b. wasteful

c. thrifty

d. miserable

63. some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because _______.

a. their life is miserable

b. they do not live in peace

c. their goals are too low

d. they are not rich enough by their own standards

64. the last paragraph implies that _________.

a. we should have high goals

b. success means achieving great goals

c. success means taking a walk in the park

d. success means trying one?s best at what one really likes

65. this passage mainly talks about _________.

a. the definition of success

b. how to achieve success

c. how to set goals

d. the importance of goals

passage three

it is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. it is all very well, again, to have a tiger in the driver?s but to have one in the driver?s seat is another matter altogether. you might tolerate the odd road-hog(乱开车者), the rude and inconsiderate, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. perhaps the situation calls for “be kind to other drivers” campaign, otherwise it may get completely out of hand. road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. it takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge (报复; 复仇)when subjected to uncivilized behavior. on the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring.

a friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill

and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. but such

acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

however, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. typical examples are the driver who brakes (刹车) violently to allow a car to emerge (冒出; 露出) from a side street at some hazard (危害) to

following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. the same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. it always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.

a veteran (老手;富有经验的人) driver, whose manners are faultless (无瑕疵的), told me it would help if motorists learn to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total

blockages that give rise to bad temper. unfortunately, modern motorists cant even learn to drive, let alone

a. discussion: bill gates dropping out of harvard.

1. what do you think of bill gates dropping out of harvard?

tribes, everyone (1) (commiserated with) him, but the

man said that (2)(perhaps that would soon turn out to be

a blessing). a few months later, the horse came back

leading another fine one and everyone (3)(congratulated)

him, but the man said that perhaps that would soon turn out to be (4) (a cause of misfortune). because the mans son was fond of riding, he broke his thigh bone one day falling from a horse. everyone showed pity for him. the man also said that perhaps that would soon turn out to be a blessing. one year later, the northern tribes invaded. nine of every ten men taking part in the fighting against the invaders died. the mans son did not join in the fighting because (5) (he was crippled) and so both the boy and his father survived.

tapescript:

blessing or bane near chinas northern borders lived a man well versed in the practices of taoism. his horse, for no reason at all, got into the territory of the northern tribes.

the man. after a few months, his horse came back, leading a fine horse from the north. everyone congratulated him. perhaps this will soon turn out to be a cause of

misfortune, said the man. since he was wealthy and kept good horses, his son became fond of riding and eventually broke his thigh bone falling from a horse. everyone commiserated with him.

perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing, said the man. one year later, the northern tribes started a big invasion of the border regions. all able-bodied young men took up arms and fought against the invaders, and as a result, around the border nine out of ten men died. this mans son did not join in the fighting because he was crippled and so both the boy and his father survived.
