As a result, poetry is not something special or【C14】______from our daily lives. Rather, it is an【C15】______part of everyone, an expression of our【C16】______hopes, wishes, and dreams. Although poetry satisfies a deep human appetite,many people fear and【C17】______it, claiming it is obscure, as it is written by men and women out of【C18】______with the realities of life. In fact, from the earliest times, most poets have been people of【C19】______, deeply involved with the rhythms of life. Ben Jonson was a bricklayer and Robert Bums a farmer.

Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain 【M6】______in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time knowing which 【M7】______things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has beenfound in the milk of treating cows. Sometimes similar drugs are 【M8】______administered to animals not for medical purposes, but for financialreasons.

My story is a simple one. You have only got to figure to yourselves a girl in a bedroom with a pen in her hand. She had only to move that pen from left to right—from ten o'clock to one. Then it occurred to her to do what is simple and cheap enough after all—to slip a few of those pages into an envelope, fix a penny stamp in the corner, and drop the envelope into the red boxat the corner. It was thus that I became a journalist; and my effort was rewarded on the first day of the following month—a very glorious day it was for me—by a letter from an editor containing a cheque for one pound ten shillings and sixpence. B. What could be easier than to write articles? But wait a moment. Articles have to be about something. Mine, I seemed to remember, was about a novel by a famous man. And while I was writing this review, I discovered that if I were going to review books I should need to do battle with a certain phantom. And the phantom was a woman, and when I came to know her better I called her after the heroine of a famous poem "The Angel in the House". It was she who used to come between me and my paper when I was writing reviews. It was she who bothered me and wasted my time and so tormented me that at last I killed her. I will describe her as shortly as I can. She was intensely sympathetic. She was immensely charming. She was utterly unselfish. She excelled in the difficult arts of family life. She sacrificed herself daily. She was so constituted that she never had a mind or a wish of her own, but preferred to sympathize with the minds and wishes of others. Above all— I need not say it—she was pure. In those days every house had its angel. And when I came to write I encountered her with the very first words. The shadow of her wings fell on my page; I heard the rustling of her skirts in the room. Directly, that is to say, I took my pen in hand to review that novel by a famous man, she slipped behind me and whispered; "My dear, you are a young woman. You are writing about a book that has been written by a man. Be sympathetic; be tender; flatter; deceive; use all the arts and wiles of our sex. Never let anybody guess that you have a mind of your own. Above all, be pure. " And she made as if to guide my pen. I now record the one act for which I take some credit to myself. I turned upon her and caught her by the throat. I did my best to kill her. My excuse, if I were to be had up in a court of law, would be that I acted in self-defense. Had I not killed her she would have killed me. She would have plucked the heart of my writing. For, as I found, directly I put pen to paper, you can not even review a novel without having a mind of your own, without expressing what you think to be the truth about human relations, morality, sex. And all these questions, according to the Angel in the House, cannot be dealt with freely and openly by women; they must charm, they must conciliate, they must—to put it bluntly—tell lies if they are to succeed. Thus, whenever I felt the shadow of her wing or the radiance of her halo upon my page, I took up the inkpot and flung it at her. She died hard. Her fictitious nature was of great assistance to her. It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.（分数：18.00）(1).The author most likely describes "a girl in a bedroom" in Line 1 in Para.

A. I am writing this with my left hand, although I am strongly right-handed. I had surgery to my right shoulder a month ago and am not permitted, not capable of, use of the right arm at this time. I write slowly, awkwardly—but more easily, more naturally, with each passing day. I am adapting, learning, all the while—not merely thisleft-handed writing, but a dozen other left-handed skills as well. I have also become very adept with my toes, to compensate for having one arm in a sling; I was quite off balance for a few days when the arm was first immobilized, but now I walk differently, I have discovered a new balance.I am developing different patterns, different habits... a different identity, one might say, at least in this particular sphere. There must be changes going on with some of the programs and circuits in my brain—altering synaptic weights and connectivities and signals(though our methods of brain imaging are still too crude to show these). B. Though some of my adaptations are deliberate, planned, and some are learned through trial and error(in the first week I injured every finger on my left hand), most have occurred by themselves, unconsciously, by reprogrammings and adaptations of which I know nothing(any more than I know, or can know, how I normally walk). Next month, if all goes well, I can start to readapt again, to regain a full(and "natural")use of the right arm, to reincorporate it back into my body image, myself, to become a dexterous human being once again. C. But recovery, in such circumstances, is by no means automatic, a simple processlike tissue healing—it will involve a whole nexus of muscular and postural adjustments, a whole sequence of new procedures(and their synthesis), learning, finding a new path to recovery. My surgeon, an understanding man who has had the same operation himself, said, "There are general guidelines, restrictions, recommendations. But all the particulars you will have to find out for yourself. " Jay, my physiotherapist, expressed himself similarly: " Adaptation follows a different path in each person. The nervous system creates its own paths. You're the neurologist—you must see this all time. " D. Nature's imagination, as physicist Freeman Dyson likes to say, is richer than ours, and he speaks, marvellingly, of this richness in the physical and biological worlds, the endless diversity of physical forms and forms of life. For me, as a physician, nature's richness is to be studied in the phenomena of health and disease, in the endless forms of individual adaptation by which human organisms, people adapt and reconstruct themselves when faced with the challenges and vicissitudes of life. E. Thus while one may be distressed by the trials of developmental disorders or disease, one may sometimes see them as creative too—for if they destroy particular paths, particular ways of doing things, they may force the nervous system into making other paths and ways, force on it an unexpected growth and evolution. This other side of development or disease is something I see, potentially, in almost every patient. That such radical adaptations can occur demands a view of the brain as dynamic and active rather than programmed and static, a supremely efficient adaptive system geared for evolution and change, ceaselessly adapting to the needs of the organism—its need, above all, to construct a coherent self and world, whatever defects or disorders of brain function befall it. That the brain is minutely differentiated is clear: there are hundreds of tiny areas crucial for every aspect of perception and behavior(from the perception of color and of motion to, perhaps, the intellectual orientation of the individual). The miracle is how they all cooperate, are integrated together, in the creation of a self. F. This sense of the brain's remarkable plasticity, its capacity for the most striking adaptations, not the least in the special(and often desperate)circumstance of neural or sensory mishap, has come to dominate my own perception of my patients and their lives. So much so, indeed, that I am sometimes moved to wonder whether it may be necessary to redefine the very concepts of "health" and "disease", to see these in terms of the ability of the organism to create a new organization and order, one that fits its special, altered disposition and needs, rather than in the terms of a rigidly defined "norm".（分数：22.00）(1).The author describes himself as "strongly right-handed"(Line 1, Para.A)to______.（分数：2.00）A.convey the ease with which he learned to be ambidextrousB.suggest the difficulties he had to overcomeC.evoke a sympathetic response from the readerD.characterize the sources of his physical strength(2).The author's remark in Lines 8-9, Para.

A condition for designing effective program to fight malnutrition is understanding the causes of the problem and recognizing how complex they are. Micronutrients IODINE(碘): some of the most rapid and important progress in UNICEF programs is in the area of salt iodization. The strategy of universal salt iodization(USI)has been widely accepted in all regions, and the goal of USI by end-1995 has been met in virtually all of Latin America and in many countries in other regions. During the year, a number of countries with a high prevalence of fording deficiency in which salt iodization was previously thought to be virtually impossible, such as Pakistan and Indonesia, started to iodizeat least half of all salt reaching consumers. To achieve this, UNICEF officers supported a range of innovative and flexible approaches, for example, the establishment of an "Iodized Salt Support Facility" in Pakistan, to provide training, supplies and quality control to the 800 or so small salt crushers in the country. Enormous progress was seen not only in getting iodine into salt but also in the promulgation of laws to give teeth to monitoring and quality control efforts. UNICEF, WHO and the International Council for the Control of Iodine Disorders(ICCID)sponsored a forum in 1995 to consider the iodine and monitoring challenges faced by countries in which salt is brought to market by many small producers rather than larger enterprises. A technical monograph on practical ways of monitoring salt iodization programs was developed jointly with WHO, ICCID and PAMM and widely distributed. Many UNICEF country programs are monitoring household availability of iodine salt, utilizing a simple test kit, as part of the Multi-Indicator Cluster Surveys being undertaken to assess progress in meeting the goals of the World Summit. VITAMIN A: WHO-UNICEF estimates now indicate that over 250 million children still suffer from vitamin A deficiency(VAD)with many million more at risk. The known effects of VAD on the immune system and thus on child mortality make this a high-priority challenge for UNICEF. In 1995 , UNICEF supported surveys of vitamin A status that resulted in widespread deficiency being recognized for the first time in Egypt, South Africa, Kenya and Botswana. With support from the Micronutrient Initiative in Canada, UNICEF launched projects in 14 countries that will enable innovation in systems of distribution of vitamin A supplements and improvements in monitoring the mortality and morbidity impact of supplementation. A number of countries are building on the successful experience of Guatemala in fortification of sugar with vitamin A. Bolivia and Brazil both launched sugar fortification with vitamin A on a pilot basis in 1995. In Namibia and South Africa, the feasibility of fortifying maize meal with vitamin A is being considered. UNICEF supports dietary diversification and the consumption of appropriate fruits and vegetables as one of the most potentially sustainable ways for communities to overcome micronutrient malnutrition. Research completed in 1995 with UNICEF assistance pointed to the need to pay further attention to the types of vegetables grown and the type of cooking in order to maximize the impact of home gardening on the vitamin A status of children. In Bangladesh, UNICEF is collaborating with Helen Keller International to assess the impact of a large home gardening project on the vitamin A status of mothers and young children. This information should help to ensure that future programs of this type are designed in the most cost-effective way. IRON: The statement on strategies for reducing iron deficiency anemia, developed and adopted by WHO and UNICEF in 1995, calls for general supplementation with iron in any population of pregnant women or young children where the prevalence of anemia exceeds 30%. The results of research trials investigating the impact on anemia of weekly iron supplements have started, to become available. Weekly iron or iron and vitamin A supplements now appear to be a feasible intervention to combat iron deficiency anemia on a population basis in some vulnerable groups. UNICEF supported a meeting, jointly with the Thrasher Research Fund and Cornell University, to explore ways of increasing the micronutrient content of foods commonly consumed in countries where micronutrient malnutrition is common. Plant breeders, soil scientist and human nutritionists met to consider the problem and agreed that the micronutrient content of foods had been neglected in the breeding of high yielding(green revolution)varieties of cereals such as rice. With the realization of tremendous importance of the micronutrient content of staple food crops to human development, plant breeders agreed that future breeding work should take micronutrient goals into account. The participants also called for research in other priority areas to exploit the potential food-based systems, including the development of programs and policies that influence the choices of consumers and producers to increase the supply and consumption of micronutrient-rich foods.
