the teacher of ethics was not accustomed to being challenged by actuality. in any event, i went back and met with the nurses. a day or two later, when she was making no progress and was suffering terribly, we began to back off treatment. soon she died quietly and not in pain. as a reasonable physician, you had better move ahead and do what you would want done for you. and dont discuss it with the world first. there is a lesson here for everybody. assisting people to leave this life requires strong judgment and long experience to avoid its misuse.10. in the early days when a patient had got a deadly, hopeless illness, _.a. doctors used to ask the patient to go back home and wait for deathb. doctors would write all their treatment plan on the patients medical recordc. doctors would talk about their treatment plan openlyd. usually doctors would inject more morphine into the patient to end his life11. the first patients husband and son wanted the doctor_.a. to end her lifeb. to save her lifec. to operate on her at onced. to use an artificial kidney12. in the second paragraph, why were they disappointed?a. their wife and mother was going to die. b. they doctor didnt do as they asked to.c. their wife and mother had to receive a kidney transplant.d. the doctor scolded them for their cruelty 13. at the meeting, the author discussed with the students_.a. how to help patients end their livesb. the importance of mercy killingc. the relationship between mercy killing and ethicsd. the case about an old lady 14. the author suggested that doctors_ before they assist a patient in killing himself.a. discuss it with the others firstb. make sure there is no other choice left c. be required to do so first by the patientd. give the patient enough morphine 15.which of the following can best describe the author?ka. cruel. b. determined. c. experienced. d. considerate. 参考答案 10-15 dabdbc阅读理解“soon, youre going to move it out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.one tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.roses require a good deal of care, and if it werent for the pleasure they give, it wouldnt be worth the work. as it is, i have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. it was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. a big mistake.soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. the daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. the cage i placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.now the task i face in harvesting the fruit is twofold：first, i have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means i almost have to stand on my head, and once found i have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. i found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as i picked tomatoes in june. but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.here i am faced with a painful small decision: to tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. like scarlett in gone with the wind, ill think about that tomorrow. 5. what are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?a. a lot of care and the right soil. b. frequent pruning and fertilizing.c. tomato plants grown alongside. d. cages placed around the roots.6. the writer planted the tomato because _. a. it cost only $1.25 b. the soil was just right for itc. there was room for it in the garden d. the roses branches needed to be covered 7. this year the writers roses were _.a. removed from the rose bed b. picked along with the tomatoesc. mostly damaged by too much sunlight d. largely hidden under the tomato plant8. by saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to _.a. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes b. show the hardship of growing the rosesc. express her liking for the roses d. express her care for the tomatoes参考答案b) acda 维c 阅读理解(每题2分，满分8分) 选材相似度：设题相似度：难度系数：what picture do you have of the future? will life in the future be better，worse or the same as now? what do you hope about the future?futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity，from entertainment to technology.first of all，it seems that tv channels will have disappeared by 2050.instead，people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television.by 2050，music，films，programs，newspapers and books will come to us by computer.in what concerns the environment，water will have become one of our most serious problems.demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages.some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we dont act now.in transport，cars will run on new，clean fuels and they will go very fast.cars will have computers to control the speed of the car and there wont be any accidents.today，many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.by 2050，the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.in the domain of technology，robots will have replaced people in factories.many factories already use robots.big companies prefer robotsthey do not ask for pay rises or go on strike，and they work 24 hours a day.by 2050，we will see robots everywherein factories，schools，offices，hospitals，shops and homes.last but not least，medicine technology will have conquered many diseases.today scientists have discovered how to control genes.they have already produced clones of animals.by 2050，scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look，how they behave and how much intelligence they have.scientists will be able to do these thingsbut should they?no
