(18) none of the other doctors seemed to know what to do since the external bleeding had stopped, plus there was no way for them to see what was happening inside his chest. this was because there were no x-ray machines available to the doctors, because they were not yet discovered. as the night progressed, cornishs state began to diminish. after careful evaluation and assessment, daniel decided that performing open heart surgery on cornish was the most promising procedure for them to take. daniel took on the challenge of performing an operation without much technology or advancement. while in the operating room, daniel decided to operate on the left side of the chest cavity. (19) the surgery was a success and james cornish lived for twenty years after the operation was completed. with all of this agony and strength, daniel hale williams became the first person to perform a successful heart surgery.16. what is the purpose of the passage?a解析 短文谈到william医生作为一名黑人医生是怎样获得成功的，开头便介绍了文章主旨，故答案为a。17why didnt williams work at a hospital?a解析 短文谈到，williams毕业后自己开诊所，因为当时芝加哥的医院不允许黑人医生使用现代化的医疗器械，故选a。c项是强干扰项，无法使用医疗器械当然就不能做手术，但是“不能做手术”是无法使用医疗器械的后果，属于二级推导原因，并不是直接原因。18why hadnt open heart surgery been performed before?c解析 短文谈到其他医生不知道患者胸腔内部的情况，因为当时还没有发明x光机，故选c。19how do we know the operation was really successful?b解析 短文谈到手术成功，术后患者还有20年的寿命，故选b。passage twoone of the great joys of gardening is to share a garden with wildlife, especially birds. attracting birds to a garden is made easier by following a few basic guidelines. (20) all birds depend on plants for shelter, nest and roosting sites, and food. to the extent that your yard offers some or all of these features, it can become a heaven for birds life. as a general rule, the more native plants are planted in the yard, the more birds will come. some birds are so particular that you must have the special plant that they demand while others only demand that you provide their basic needs. most birds require some shelter for roosting, preening and sleeping. (21) by varying the height as well as the density of plants, a greater number of species are encouraged to seek out shelter in your yard. nesting requirements in birds are quite varied. (21) to encourage as many different types of birds as possible, vary the types of plants, use a number of native plants, and vary the height of plants. birds eat seed, fruits, or nectar, as well as insects found on plants. again, diversity encourages more birds, particularly plants that bloom in different seasons. (22) one of the surest ways to encourage birds in a yard, especially a new yard, is to provide water. if you have pets or wandering cats, move the water higher, beyond their reach. leave the water in the open, with no overhanging branches. change the water often, especially in the warm weather, and remove algae buildup with a scrub brush rather than chemical treatments.20. according to the speaker, what are the general requirements to attract birds?d解析 短文谈到，所有的鸟都需要植物来做巢，也需要食物，人们的院子可以提供这些东西，从而成为鸟类的安息所，故选d。21. how tall should plants be in order to attract birds?d解析 短文谈到，为了吸引尽可能多的小鸟，可以种多种植物，植物的高度不需要一致，也就是说不同的鸟喜欢在不同高度的植物上栖息，故选d。c项是强干扰项，但是all birds like both这种说法太绝对，不正确。22. what is one of the surest ways to encourage birds in a yard?b解析 短文谈到，最确定的其中一个方法是提供水，故选b。passage three(23) almost 20,000 whales have been slaughtered since a ban on commercial whaling was introduced in 1986 and the death toll is rising each year. norway and japan killed over 1,000 whales in 1999 and they plan to kill even more. the international whaling commission (iwc) has failed to stop the killing and a compromise deal may relax the ban allowing coastal whalingcondemning many thousands more whales to a cruel death. in 1994, the iwc created a whale sanctuary in antarctic waters and many believed the battle to save the whales had been won. but japan has ignored the sanc
