请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Once upon a time a king, in the company of his ministers, went to the imperial garden for a walk. When he was walking around a pond, a strange idea 36 upon him and he asked, “How many buckets(桶) of water are there in the pond?” The ministers looked at each other, 37 to give an answer.

Rather 38 , the king ordered, “You have three days’ grace. Any one who offers an answer will be handsomely awarded. Those who fail will be 39 .”

The time limit was due in the twinkling（闪烁）of an eye, yet the ministers were still 40 their wit’s end. At this time a child appeared 41 declared that he knew the answer. The king told his 42 ministers to go with the child for the measurement. To their 43 the child refused the suggestion with a smile, “It is very easy. No 44 to go to the pond.” This made the king laugh 45 , “Alright, let us know what it is.” The child winked (眨眼) and said, “That 46 on the size of the bucket. If it is as big as the pond, there is one bucket of water; if it is 47 as big, two buckets; if one third as big, three buckets; if...” “Stop! That’s it. You’ve got the 48 .” The king was satisfied and the child was duly rewarded.

Why did the ministers feel it so 49 to settle the problem? Because they fell in a pitfall (陷阱), following a 50 way of thinking. People’s thinking often goes a habitual way — the beaten track of straightforwardness. 51 is a static (静态的) way presupposing every object definite and certain, i.e. the size of the pond and the bucket should be clearly 52 . If one of them is unknown, it will be difficult to do the measurement, let alone 53 . Why not change your mode of thought — from static to dynamic（动态的）, from concrete to 54 ? If you adopt an indirect way and try to find out the proportional relation between the pond and the bucket, you’ll get an answer — flexible yet 55 to solve the problem.

Sometimes to get out of the difficulty one must change one’s way of thinking, or simply change one’s approach towards a problem.

36. A. fixed B. focused C. came D. looked

37. A. struggling B. thinking C. falling D. failing

38. A. disappointed B. excited C. pleased D. contented

39. A. killed B. punished C. blamed D. scolded

40. A. on B. at C. in D. by

41. A. who B. whom C. whose D. he

42. A. exciting B. amazing C. surprising D. trembling

43. A. doubt B. surprise C. envy D. delight

44. A. good B. use C. need D. wonder

45. A. wonderfully B. joyfully C. cheerfully D. doubtfully

46. A. decides B. depends C. calls D. looks

47. A. half B. both C. all D. wholly

48. A. award B. reward C. answer D. number

49. A. easy B. difficult C. fast D. slow

50. A. wrong B. correct C. right D. incorrect

51. A. This B. That C. It D. Such

52. A. marked B. measured C. signed D. known

53. A. another B. other C. one D. both

54. A. detailed B. easy C. simple D. abstract

55. A. appropriate B. available C. adequate D. proper

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

A story tells that a senior villager who led some other villagers carrying salt day and night to a town in order to trade barley as food for the winter. One night they camped in a wilderness with a starry sky above. The senior villager, obeying the tradition passed down from ancestry, took out three blocks of salt and threw them into the campfire, presumably to foretell the changes of weather in the mountains.

All eagerly waited for the old man’s “weather report”: if the salt in the fire produced crackling sound, they would have good weather in store; if no sound was produced, it then meant the good weather would soon end and a storm would come at any moment.

The senior villager looked serious. The salt in the campfire made no sound at all. Convinced by this bad omen (兆头), he urged the whole team to set out immediately after daybreak. A young man in the group, however, insisted that they should not start in such a hurry, considering it superstitious (迷信的) to “forecast weather by using salt”.

It was not until the next afternoon that the young man caught up on the wisdom of the old man when the weather suddenly changed, with cold winds blowing and a snowstorm raging. In fact, the method employed by the clan head could be well explained by modern science: whether or not salt produces sound in campfire depends on air humidity (湿度). That is to say, when a storm approaches, due to high humidity, the dampened salt blocks will not produce any sound in fire.

56. The senior villager foretold the changes of the weather ______ while camping in a wilderness that night.

A. by taking out salt B. by burning salt in fire

C. in a superstitious way D. depending on his wisdom

57. “The weather report” they got that night ______.

A. had a bad omen B. gave wrong information

C. was superstitious at that time D. was scientific according to modern science

58. After reading the passage, we can know ______.

A. the lower humidity is, the bigger sound salt will produce in fire

B. the higher humidity is, the bigger sound salt will produce in fire

C. dampened salt blocks will result in winds and storms

D. the young man never wanted to understand the old man

59. From the passage, it can be concluded that ______.

A. old people are always right

B. old people are wiser than the young

C. young people shouldn’t regard old ideas as useless or out of date sometimes

D. young people usually have different opinions from the old

B

Surgical teams accidentally leave clamps, sponges and other tools inside about 1,500 patients nationwide each year.

The mistakes largely result not from surgeon tiredness, but from the stress arising from emergencies or complications(并发症) discovered on the operating table, the researchers reported.

The study found that emergency operations are nine times more likely to lead to such mistakes, and operating–room complications requiring a change in procedure are four times more likely.

It also happens more often to fat patients, simply because there is more room inside them to lose equipment, according to the study.

Two–thirds of the mistakes happened even though the equipment was counted before and after the procedure, in keeping with the standard practice.

Most lost objects were sponges, but also included were metal clamps and electrodes(电极). In two cases, 11–inch retractors (牵引器) metal strips were forgotten inside patients. In another operation, four sponges were left inside someone. When there is significant bleeding and a sponge is placed in a patient, it can sometimes look indistinguishable from the tissue around it.

The lost objects usually lay around the abdomen (腹腔) or hips but sometimes in the chest. They often caused tears or infections. Most patients needed additional surgery to remove the object. In other cases, patients even sensed nothing about the object, and it turned up in later surgery for other problems.

To prevent such mistakes from happening, Loyola University Medical Center is becoming one of the first hospitals in the country to use sponges outfitted with bar codes. The new system was brought to Loyola through the efforts of the hospital’s operating room nurses.

Another effective way is to X–ray patients after surgery to reduce the likelihood of objects being left inside patients.

60. In which of the following situations are objects most likely to be left inside a patient?

A. The nurses are counting the equipment and the patient is being X–rayed.

B. The surgeons are doing the last operation of the day, and everyone is exhausted.

C. A complex operation is going on according to the plan made by many experts.

D. Something unexpected happens and some changes must be made in the procedure.

61. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Such mistakes happen more often to fat patients.

B. X–ray examination can help to find the lost objects.

C. 1,500 patients suffer from the mistake all over the world every year.

D. The mistake largely results from stress rather than tiredness.

62. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Surgical teams aren’t to blame for the mistakes.

B. Some people never know there is something left inside their body.

C. Most mistakes happen because equipment isn’t counted after the procedure.

D. Only some small objects may be left inside the patients.

63. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Never Trust Anyone B. Tips for Patient Safety

C. Carelessness and Mistakes D. A Mistake in the Operating Room

C

MIANYANG - At a corner of the city's Jiuzhou Stadium, one of the biggest camps set up for those left homeless in the earthquake, 62-year-old Liu Yaorong was leaning against a window on Thursday.

Pointing to a quilt and clothes he received from the local government, he said: "These are all I have. My home collapsed in the quake, and everything in the town was flooded."

He used to live in Xuanping town of Beichuan county which was destroyed by the quake. Adding to his misery, rivers blocked by landslides (山崩) led to flooding in the town.

But Liu said he was lucky because he was healthy, otherwise he would not have the energy to walk 10 hours on damaged and dangerous mountainous roads to escape the flood on Monday. He said the trip used to take him about 90 minutes when the roads were in good condition.

“The journey was difficult and "rocks kept falling," he said, showing injured legs and black, split toenails.

Liu said his three sons were working in eastern cities as migrant workers.

"I've been living alone in the mountains for more than 20 years. My wife died 30 years ago," he said in a low voice.

During his journey to Mianyang, Liu said he saw many elderly people who chose to stay.

"Soldiers were persuading them to leave for fear of floods," he said.

Talking about his home before the quake struck, Liu's mood lifted. "I raised pigs and chickens, and grew vegetables. I could have rice, meat and greens almost every day," he said.

"But now, I have only biscuits and instant noodles."

Liu said one of his sons returned home from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, after the quake, but left because the father refused to go with him.

"I don't want to leave home. And I know it is difficult for them out there. How could I add to their burden?" he asked, his eyes red.

"I still want to go back to my home. Given a small piece of land, I could live by myself."

It is learnt that resettlement plans for displaced people have not been finalized.

However, not every elderly person is as strong-willed as Liu.

Psychologists said the elderly need as much comfort as children. Lu Jianguo, a psychologist from Chengdu Medical College, said "We will first let them cry and tell their stories, and then help them regain confidence."

64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Liu Yaorong spent 8.5 hours more than usual covering the roads in escaping the flood.

B. The flood was followed by an earthquake in Xuanping in the same day.

C. Liu Yaorong was in time to escape the quake without being hurt.

D. Being healthy, Liu Yaorong was the only old man to escape the flood.

65. The underlined word “misery” in the third paragraph most probably means “______”.

A. happiness B. fortune C. puzzle D. suffering

66. What’s Liu Yaorong’s attitude towards self-relief after the earthquake?

A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Aggressive. D. Dependent.

67. What would be the best title for the news report?

A. Elderly react more quickly to flood disaster

B. Elderly try hard to deal with quake disaster

C. Elderly prefer to stay at their own home

D. Elderly are well cared for by government
