题型:不详难度:来源:
Florence Nightingale(南丁格尔) was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father. 
As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them. 
At last mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided. 
“Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her. 
“Then I will make it so, “she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for home. During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen — and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work. 
Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman. 
After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries. 
Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.

举一反三
When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, Leonard Bernstein gave a concert in Berlin, including Beethoven"s Ode to Joy, with the word "Joy" changed to "Freedom" in the lyrics sung.The orchestra(管弦乐队)were drawn from both East and West Germany, as well as the United Kingdom, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States.
Freedom was in the air and it was not just for people. The wall between East and West Germany had also kept a large population of wild pigs within the eastern forests of Brandenburg.The wall"s falling down made it easier for the big pigs—a very big one can weigh over 300 pounds—to leave the woodlands and walk into the town. Warm winters and easy access to food have helped the population increase. Now about 10,000 wild pigs walk around Berlin.
The nature of the beast has added to the boom(兴旺)."The pigs are intelligent," says Marc Franusch, a spokesman for the Berlin forestry department. "They learn to use the neighborhoods.They get used to people, dogs, and traffic."  
The wild pigs tend to travel in small groups and have been found searching rubbish and gardens, feeding their piglets(小猪)in the shadow of parked cars, and crossing busy roads.On average, the animals are involved in one traffic accident every day. And despite the fact that it"s illegal, some Berliners have been known to give the pigs food.
Though wild pigs are protected under German law, the city"s forestry department is permitted to kill 2,000 of the creatures every year, targeting mostly young adult animals in forests surrounding Berlin. Pigs within city limits are only shot if they make an immediate threat.No humans have yet been seriously wounded by them, but local dogs have been the victims of their tusks. "The forestry department is not aiming to get rid of the pigs," explains Franusch, "but we do have to reduce dangerous situations."
小题1:The concert in the first paragraph is given to          
A.celebrate Bernstein"s successB.remind people of fighting for rights
C.show the artists" delight of lifeD.express people"s joy for freedom
小题2:The following factors contribute to the boom of wild pigs EXCEPT          
A.the Berlin WallB.adequate food
C.their own natureD.warm winter
小题3:From the text we can know that          
A.in Berlin people can never kill any wild pig
B.it is against law to offer food to wild pigs
C.wild pigs each weigh more than three hundred pounds
D.traffic accidents are mainly caused by wild pigs in Berlin
小题4:The article mainly talks about           
A.why wild pigs in Berlin enjoy so much freedom
B.when wild pigs were united in Berlin
C.how wild pigs are living in Berlin
D.what damage wild pigs have done to Berliners

How could I turn down an opportunity for a weeklong cruise on a luxury motorsailer in the Andaman Sea? Without a second thought, I packed my bags and jumped on a plane to Singapore, and the following day I found myself looking out the airplane window at the beautiful waters surrounding the island of Langkawi off the coast of Malaysia.
The last time I was in Langkawi was in 2001, when it was relatively quiet. Langkawi has come a long way since then; there are 4, 5, and even 6-star hotels, as well as spas, golfing, horseback riding and even a cable car taking visitors to the highest point on the island.
At the Langkawi International Airport I met my shipmates and we were driven to Pantai Tengah with a quick pit stop for sunblock and duty-free goodies. Many other shopping opportunities abound since Langkawi was designated as a duty-free zone in 1987 to entice tourists to the island.
A luxurious yacht tender picked us up. Phillipe, the first mate, maneuvered the tender between sailboats and as we went around a small island there she was, S/V Blue Gold. This majestic 10-passenger sailboat—all 165 feet of her—had been built in Italy and recently underwent a full retrofit. Once aboard, the crew welcomed us with refreshments and big smiles. Before we got too comfortable and settled into the plush comforts of the boat, Alain, the captain, took us on a tour of Blue Gold’s impressive accommodations. The master suite had a king-size bed, with a lounge area and “his & hers” wardrobes. The VIP cabin had a queen-size bed, also with a lounge area. Both had ensuite bathrooms.
The first evening aboard was the perfect start to our voyage—a small cocktail party followed by a light meal of seared tuna salad. It was exactly what our jet-lagged bodies craved, and we all slept very well aboard what would become our new home for the next 7 days.
In the morning after breakfast, we sailed to Pulau Ta Ngah (also spelled “Pulau Tengah”; pulau means island in Malay). In the 1970s the site had been a Vietnamese refugee transit camp. Not long after the end of the war, the camp was shut down and the island was gazetted as a marine park by the Malaysian government. Officially “uninhabited,” it does boast a golf course, but we were unable to determine if it was still in operation. The most intriguing event on the island occurs in July when the giant leatherback turtles lay their eggs on a beach on Ta Ngah.
小题1:Where is Langkawi?
A.In Pulau Ta NgahB.In MalaysiaC.In the Atlantic OceanD.In The Arctic
小题2:We know from the passage Langkawi________.
A.has become prosperous in the past decade
B.was a noisy industrial city twenty years ago
C.has no three-star hotels nowadays
D.is best known for its horse riding races
小题3:S/V Blue Gold is __________.
A.a small island with most beautiful sceneries we have ever seen
B.a luxurious 6-star hotel with best food and service
C.a VIP cabin with 9 queen-size beds and ensuite bathrooms
D.a splendid boat with comfortable accommodations
小题4:It is implied that _________.
A.many people go golfing on Pulau Ta Ngah every year
B.the Vietnamese War broke out in 1970
C.the author liked the party and meal provided in the voyage
D.people living on Pulau Ta Ngah must have earned a lot of money
小题5:The article is probably part of __________.
A.a news reportB.a travel storyC.an advertisement D.an operating manual

When Mike, Andy and Lucas reached the finish line, they   12   and turned to look behind them. At the   13   of the crowd, determined not to be left behind, was Mark. All his classmates had   14   him. He was alone on the track with over half the distance left to   15 .
Mike, Andy and Lucas looked at each other, and a silent   16  passed between them. Slowly, they jogged   17  towards their friend, cheering him on   18  he had done for them moments before.
The progress was   19 , but in the end the three star runners and Mark crossed the finish line together to the enthusiastic cries of their teachers and classmates.

Years later, I’m still cheering them on.

"A child is dying---out of breath!" I had just begun my working day in the city, when these words came through the radio of the police car I was driving. I turned on the red lights and siren(警笛)and drove off as fast as I could. "Just my luck!" I thought. I didn"t know this city well and my first call of the day was a life-and-death sudden happening, several kilometers away.
I got to the house. A mother, filled with fear, handed me her baby, his face already blue. Was I too late? Dear me!
I did what had been taught to do in such a serious condition. A small thing flew out of the baby"s mouth on to the floor. It was a button. Thank heaven! The holes in it let a little air through.
A doctor rushed into the room. He had with him an oxygen bag.
