When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to fred a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship (奖学金) and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, "Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story", shown in late April.Liz Murray, a 22,year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.Liz went back to school. She threw herseff into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. "What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only. experienced a small part of the society." She wrote in her book Breaking Night.She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe riving environment, to encourage herself that "next to nothing could hold me down". She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. "I love my parents so much. They are drag addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time."Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is "as simple as making a decision".46. In which order did the following things happen to Liz?a.Her mother died of A/DS.b. She worked at a petrol station..c. She got admitted into Harvard.d. The movie about her life was put on.e. She had trouble finding a place to sleep.A. b, a, e, c, dB. a,b, c, e, dC. e, d, b, a, cD.b, e, a, d, c47. The main idea of the passage isA.how Liz managed to enter Harvard UniversityB.what a hard time Liz had in her childhoodC. why Liz loved her parents so muchD. how Liz struggled to changeher life48. What actually made her go towards her goal?A. Envy and encouragement.B. Willpower and determination.C. Decisions and understanding.D. Love and respect for her parents.49. When she wrote "What drove me to live on...I had only experienced asmall part of the society", she meant thatA. she had little experience of social lifeB. she eould hardly understand the societyC. she would do something for her own lifeD. she needed to travel more around the worldBDo you have any strong opinion on co-educational or single-sex schools?A supporter of co-educational schools would probably say that schools should be like the societies they belong to. In Hong Kong, men and women mix socially on a day-to-day basis. In many fields men are even likely to have female bosses. It is, therefore, desirable that boys and girls grow up together, go to school together, and prepare themselves for a society that does not value sexual separation.Some would go on to argue further that growing up with members of the opposite sex is important for personal development. Regular contact can remove the strange ideas about the opposite sex and lead to more natural relationships. Single-sex conditions are seen as leading to more extreme opinions, and possibly even as encouraging homosexuality（同性恋）, though there is no proof that this is the case.Those who are against co-education often also fix their attention on the sexual side. Some parents fear that close contact with members of the opposite sex is dangerous for teenagers. They want their children to be attentive to their studies. Such parents feel un- comfortable with modern ways and the free mixing of the sexes.A stronger argument comes from research into school results. Girls grow up earlier than boys. tend to be more orderly and are likely to be better at languages. In a mixed class, boys who might do well in a single-sex class become discouraged and take on the role of troublemaker. Certainly in the UK this situation has greatly alarmed（惊动）the government for it to be encouraging co-educational schools to have some single-sex classes. In the UK the best schools are all single-sex, strongly suggesting that co-education is not the best answer. This may, however, not be as simple as it looks. It may simply be that the famous old schools that attract the best students happen to be single-sex, rather than that being single-sex makes them better schools.50. In the third paragraph, by saying “though there is no proof that this is the case”, the writer means that ________.A. students in single-sex schools will certainly become homosexualB. students in co-educational schools cannot have extreme opinionsC. students in co-educational schools are likely to be homosexualD. single-sex school conditions may or may not have effects on the students.51. All the following arguments can be found in the passage EXCEPT that _______.A. co-education can produce a society-like situationB. co-educational schools may lead to love affairs between boys and girlsC. co-education will help develop a better understanding about the opposite sexD. co-education can make boys perform well in mixed classes52. Alarmed by the situation, the UK government encourages _______.A. co-educationB. single-sex educationC. single-sex classes in co-educational schoolsD. co-educational classes in single-sex schools53. At the end of the passage the writer suggests that _______.A. single-sex schools are the best schools in the UKB. being single-sex does not necessarily make a school betterC. co-educational schools are better for both sexes in personal developmentD. because boys cannot compete with girls in study, they go to single-sex schoolsCPeople with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.However, the study also found that when less-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a stronger effect on their health.From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are regular. Where you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them.The research team interviewed a national sample of 1,031 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health. People without a high school diploma(毕业文凭) reported stress on 30 percent of the study days, people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time, and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time.‘‘Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health.” leading researcher Dr. Joseph Grzywacz of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said ina prepared sta tement. “The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors(紧张刺激物), and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more damaging for the less advantaged.”Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known that their stress is more acute and chronic(急性和慢性).“If something happens every day, maybe it’s not seen as a stressor” Grzywacz says. “Maybe it is just l ife.”54. Stress level is closely related to ________.A. family sizeB. social positionC. body weightD. work experience55. Which group reported the biggest number of stressful days?A. People without any educationB. People without high school degreesC. People with high school degreesD. People with college degrees56. The less advantaged people are, the greater ________.A. the effect of stress on their health isB. the effect of education on their health isC. the level of their education isD. the degree of their health concern is57. Less-educated people report fewer days of stress possibly because ________.A. they don’t want to tell the truthB. they don’t want to face the truthC. stress is too common a factor in their lifeD. their stress is more acuteDScientists say they were able to reduce the effect of the AIDS with a drug first designed to treat other conditions. AIDS damages the protection system so the body cannot fight viruses inside the body. At present, medicines can reduce HIV to levels low enough to keep people alive. But these drugs are not a cure. Small amounts of the vir us still remain in human’s body. If it wakes up again, the virus can become active and begin to copy itself, so people must continue to take medicine.A new study has been carried out on four patients. They had already taken medicine for more than two years. The researchers first improved the effect of the drug. Then in addition, they gave the patient another one, valproic acid(丙戊酸). Valproic acid is used to help epilepsy(癫痫病)patients. Some people with depression(抑郁症) also take the drug to calm themselves down.But valproic acid has also been shown to block something that helps HIV, the AIDS virus, to hide. The patients took the medicine twice a day for three months.Over this time, the researchers say the amount of the virus was reduced by nearly seventy-five percent in three of the four people. But the numbers returned to earlier levels when the treatment ended.Valproic acid has some serious dangers, especially for women who will soon give birth. Doctor Margolis says more study is needed into its use against AIDS. But the scientists do say that their early finding suggests that new methods will produce a cure of HIV in the future. Some other scientists, however, say it is too early to talk of cure for a virus that is so difficult to destroy. They say a cure would have to make the patients healthy again and the virus might not hide only in the protection system.58. Which of the following is NOT a function of Valproic acid?A. To control the effects of epilepsy.B. To block something that helps HIV.C. To calm down people with depression.D. To improve the strength of other drugs.59. By saying that “it is too early to talk of cure for a virus that is sodifficult to destroy”, the author means_________.A. Scientists hope to find the cure for AIDS soonB. Scientist don’t want to talk about their cure too earlyC. Scientists doubt a cure for AIDS can soon be foundD. It’s too late to find the cure for a virus that is so difficult todestroy60. This text most probably appears in _________.A. a newspaperB. a book on Chinese medicineC. a noticeD. a tour guide book61. We can learn from the text that ________.A. valproic acid can help all HIV patientsB. usually the AIDs virus is not difficult to destroyC. the effects of valproic acid do not last foreverD. doctors have found an effective way to cure the AIDSEMany students are planning field trips as spring draws near. Fourteen-year-old Zhou Liqun is busy digging holes (洞) along rivers. The girl and her "One Piece of Paper Team" are planting trees to improve the environment.They collect waste paper to sell for trees and have set up websites (网站) to spread the message of connections between humans and nature. "We want tomake environmental protection everyone's habit," says the girl. "Even a piece of paper matters."Eager to join Zhou in such meaningful work? Now you are offered advice on what to do. Last month, measures for public participation (参与) in environmental protection were published by the State Environmental protection Administration (SEPA, 国家环保总局). the special measures are expected to change the light rain of the past into a storm of environmental protection.Last year's Songhua River pollution acted as an alarm (警报) to Chinese people. According to SEPA officials, environmental pollution has become serious, and will continue so for the next 15 years.A recent survey showed that though most Chinese people care about environmental problems, they don't put their concerns into practice. One reason is that they don't know how. So the newly published measures present information about how to report environmental problems and how to join in the battle against pollution.Actually there is much you can do in daily life. Buy less to reduce waste. Don't throw away things before you have made the most use of them. Use electricity, water and gas only when necessary. Switch them off when you don't need them.Everyone can participate in making the planet suitable for future generations; Why not join in and make our world more fantastic?62. What is the writer's purpose of writing the passage?A. To praise Zhou Liqun and her friends.B. To remind us that our world is heavily polluted.C. To give us advice on how to make environmental protection everyone's habit.D. To call on people to join in the fight against the environmental pollution.63. According to the passage, what does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 3?A. The government is hoping for a heavy storm in order to make our world clean.B. People hate that it often rained gently in the past.C. Measures are expected to strengthen the action of keeping the world clean.D. The measures are sure to work.64. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Zhou Liqun dug hole along rivers.B. The students have set up websites.C. Buy less to reduce waste in daily life.D. Never use coal, water and gas unless necessary.65. What is the best title of the passage?A. Songhua River is in DangerB. Students Improve EnvironmentC. Measures to Reduce WasteD.
