seattles public library has spread throughout america and beyondthe concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.in addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schoolsthe idea came from seattle librarian nancy pearl who launched (发起）the if all of seattle read the same book project in 1998her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has expanded to many other american cities, and even to hong kong.in chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of to kill a mockingbird as the first book in the one book, one chicago programas a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the cityacross the us, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and characterthe only problem arose in new york ,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse populationthis may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .or it may show that new yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.ultinatelas nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.24what is the purpose of the project launched by nancy?ato invite authors to guide readers.bto encourage people to read and share.cto involve people in community service.dto promote the friendship between cities.25why was it difficult for new yorkers to carry out the project?athey had little interest in reading.bthey were too busy to read a book.cthey came from many different backgroundsdthey lacked support from the local government26according to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?ain large communities with little sense of unitybin large cities where libraries are far from homecin medium-sized cities with a diverse populationdin large towns where agreement can be quickly reached27according to nancy, the level of success of the project is judged byathe careful selection of a proper bookbthe growing popularity of the writerscthe number of people who benefit from reading.dthe number of books that each person reads. clisa was running latelisa，25，had a lot to do at work，plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for thanksgiving from her hometownbut as she hurried down the subway stairs， she started to feel uncomfortably warnedby the time she got to the platform，lisa felt weak and tired-maybe it hadnt been a good idea to give blood the night before，she thoughtshe rested herself against a post close to the tracksseveral yards away，frank，43，and his girlfriend，jennifer，found a spot close to where the front of the train would stopthey were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buyingbut when he heard the scream，followed by someone yelling，“oh，my god，she fell in!” frank didnt hesitatehe jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails“no! not you! ”his girlfriend screamed after himshe was right to be alarmedby the time frank reached lisa，he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light comingthe train was about 20 seconds from the stationit was hard to lift hershe was just outbut he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edgethat was where lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being pulled along the ground，and saw someone else holding her purselisa thought shed been robbeda woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her headand she tried to talk but she couldnt，and that was when she realized how much pain she was inpolice and fire officials soon arrived，and frank told the story to an officerjennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtownjust as he had been seconds after the rescue，which made her think about her reaction at the time“i saw the train coming and 1 was thinking he was going to die，”she explained28what was the most probable cause for lisas weakness?ashe had run a long waybshe felt hot in the subwaycshe had done a 1ot of workdshe had donated blood the night before29why did jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?abecause they would miss their trainbbecause he didnt see the train comingcbecause she was sure lisa was hard to liftdbecause she was afraid the train would kill him30 when did lisa become conscious again?awhen the train was leavingbafter she was back on the platformcafter the police and fire officials camedwhen a man was cleaning the blood from her head31the passage is intended to _awarn us of the danger in the subwaybshow us how to save people in the subwayctell us about a subway rescuedreport a traffic accident dwhat will people die of 100 years from now? if you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in biotechnology. with the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time. death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war. todays leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories. in discussion of technological changes，the internet gets most of the attention these days. but the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. how long can humans live? human brains were known to decide the final death. cells are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever. but the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs. the medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so onin much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones. it is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.32according to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by _.adiseases and aging baccidents and warcaccidents and aging dheart disease and war33in the authors opinion，todays most important advance in technology lies in _.amedicine bthe internet cbrain cells dhuman organs34humans may live longer in the future because _.aheart disease will be far away from usbhuman brains can decide the final deathcthe basic materials of cells will last foreverdhuman organs can be repaired by new medicine35how long can humans live in the future according to the passage?aover 100 years. bmore than 120 years.cabout 150 years. dthe passage doesnt tell us.第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题 2分，满分10分)lots of people give you advice on overcoming (克服) fear. _36_ however, i want to tell you that a world without fear would be more dangerous, less rewarding. so we want to treat fear as a friend. here are three reasons. _37_ think about it. do you get more nervous when you meet the girl (or guy) of your dreams? which is more fearful, talking to the boss of your company or to some of your friends? _38_ if you didnt have fear to guide you, you might not know that! not so bad, right? next, fear encourages us to take action. fear is a call to action. in the past, our ancestors (祖先) didnt run away in fear when they saw a tiger running toward them but tried to kill it for food. now, most of us dont face serious danger like hungry tigers every day, but we do face serious bosses or public speaking. so, what can we do? _39_lastly, fear lets you know you are alive. why do we like roller coasters (过山车)? _40_ same for horror movies.so fear can guide you towards whats important for you and encourage you to take action to improve. dont we all need that kind of friend?a. dont fear to be wrong.b. it frightens us in a mostly safe way.c. imagine what life would be like without fear.d. the first is that fear is an excellent guide to opportunity.e. they say if you can overcome fear, you will be successful.f. let fear provide us with the energy to do what needs to be done.g.
