the other from california. they had met in an eighth street restaurant, and found their tastes in art, chicory salad and bishop sleeves so much in tune that the joint studio（画室） resulted. that was in may. in november, a cold, unseen stranger, whom the doctors called “pneumonia”, stalked about the district, touching one here and there with his icy fingers. johnsy was among his victims. one morning the busy doctor invited sue into the hallway with a bushy, gray eyebrow. “she has one chance in ten,” he said. “and that chance is for her to want to live. your little lady has made up her mind that shes not going to get well. has she anything on her mind?” “she wanted to paint the bay of naples some day,” said sue. “paint? bosh! has she anything on her mind worth thinking about twice? a man, for instance?”“no, doctor; there is nothing of the kind.” “well,” said the doctor. “i will do all that science can accomplish. but whenever my patient begins to count the carriage in her funeral procession, i subtract 50 per cent from the power of medicines.” after the doctor had gone, sue cried. johnsy lay, scarcely making a movement under the bedclothes, with her face toward the window. she was looking out and countingcounting backward. “twelve,” she said, and a little later “eleven,” and then “ten,” and “nine,” and then “eight, and “seven,” almost together. sue looked out of the window. what was there to count? there was only a bare, depressing yard to be seen, and an old, old ivy vine climbed half way up the brick wall of the brick house. the cold breath of autumn had blown away its leaves, leaving it almost bare. “six,” said johnsy, in almost a whisper. “theyre falling faster now. three days ago there were almost a hundred. it made my head ache to count them. but now its easy. there goes another one. there are only five left now.” “five what, dear?” “leaves, on the ivy vine. when the last one falls i must go, too. ive known that for three days. didnt the doctor tell you?” “oh, ive never heard of such nonsense. dont be so silly. why, the doctor told me this morning that your chances for getting well soon were ten to one! try to take some soup now, and let sue go and buy pork chops for her sick child.”56. what do you know about sue and johnsy from the first paragraph?a. they had a lot in common with each other. b. they are from the same state in the united states. c. they set up their studio on the third floor in order to see the ivy vine outside. d. they both began wearing clothes with bishop sleeves only after they set up their studio.57. which of the following statements best describes the underlined word “pneumonia”?a. it was a stranger with magic power and was invisible to others. b. it was a disease which resulted in many symptoms, or even death. c. it was a person who was moving around the district touching people with icy fingers. d. it was someone carrying deadly bacteria and passed them to people without being noticed.58. what can we learn from the passage?a. johnsy had a bad temper and couldnt control her emotions very well. b. johnsy made up her mind to die because she had no confidence in science.c. johnsy counted the ivy vine leaves because she admired them and got inspired by them.d. the doctor believed that medicine would lose half of its power on the patient who did not want to survive.59. what may sue do for her friend next?a. to go and buy pork chops for johnsy.b. to prepare the funeral quickly.c. to ask johnsy to paint the bay of naples. d. to find johnsy a boyfriend immediately.b.israel has passed a law banning the use of underweight models in advertising. known as the “photoshop law”, it also requires that agencies tell their audience if theyve digitally changed pictures to make models look thinner.the new law forbids the use of models with a body mass index of 18.5 or less, a standard based on internationally accepted measures. the figure matches the set of fixed limits by the u. s. department of health.the law doesnt set a money amount that can be gained in court from such a suit. lawmakers realize that it may be a long and difficult process to prove in court that a company broke the new law, but they feel that simply having the law in place will accomplish what they want; stopping advertising companies from continuing to influence israelis with images of unhealthy-looking models as the gold standard of beauty.some modeling agencies in israel arent happy. they say that the indexes on which the law is based are arbitrary and are not appropriate for every model. many models who are totally healthy girls might be disqualified because of the law. some models are naturally thin and unable to gain weight and the new law would unfairly prevent them from finding jobs.however, plus-size american supermodel emme told cnn that she thinks the law will cause other countries to make similar measures against showing underweight models. “i think this is fantastic because so many young women and men are suffering to look in a way that is unrealistic and unhealthy,” she said.60.what is “photoshop law” about?a. banning the use of underweight models.b. banning underweight models in advertising.c. banning changing pictures digitally.d. banning models in advertising.61. the underlined word “suit” in paragraph 3 means .a . a set of clothingb. a group of roomsc. an action in courtd. a performance in advertising62. what can we know from the passage?a. all models are happy about the law.b. all advertising agencies are happy about the law.c. the law makes no sense.d. there are arguments over the beauty standard of models. c.save the children is the worlds leading independent organization for children that works to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. our founder eglantyne jebb drafted the “declaration of the rights of the child” in 1922 which was adopted by the league of nations in 1924.save the children works to bring about a world in which every child gets the right of survival, protection, development and participation.our approach:save the children actively works with the communities, the state governments and the national government to bring lasting changes for children by: providing them with immunisation （免疫） and nutrition.ensuring that they have a chance to join formal school.exposing and preventing exploitative（剥削的） child labour practices and running prevention programs.during emergencies, we provide emergency supplies as well to ensure that children are protected in safe places as well to continue schooling. we cannot do this without your support. please contribute by choosing an amount below.rs.20,000 can provide child friendly space for 50 children ensuring that they receive psycho-social and educational support.rs.10,000 can provide hygiene kits（卫生用品） and house-hold cooking tools for 4 families affected by emergencies.rs.5,000 can provide education kits and uniforms for 5 poor children who have lost belongings in an emergency.rs.2,500 can provide a hygiene kits and house-hold cooking tools for a family during an emergency. you will receive your tax exemption certificate （免税证明） within 12 days of making a donation.63.what is the main purpose of writing the passage?a. to introduce the organization to readers.b. to raise awareness of childrens living conditions.c. to draw public attention to educating children.d. to persuade more people to donate to the organization.64.save the children is an organization _.a. founded in 1922 by eglantyne jebbb. joining the league of nations in 1924c. only cooperating with the local governmentd. concerning childrens physical and mental health65.what help will save the children provide for the child?a. formal private education.b. labour practices.c. emergency supplies.d. tax exemption certificate.66.which of the following is true according to the passage?a. save the children will provide cooking tools for 4 families with a 2500 rs donation.b. providing help during emergencies is a most important part of the work of save the children.c. save the children will reply to donors within 12 days of making their donation.d. child friendly space is a formal school for children to receive social and psychological education. d.technology has totally transformed our ability to communicate with each other. linking to each other both literally and figuratively, many of us connect through cell phones, email, instant messaging, blogs, and networking web sites, yet we may be less connected to each other than we think.according to a study, americans are becoming increasingly socially isolated(孤立的). the study suggests, for example, that one quarter of americans say that they have no one to discuss important personal issues with, and that the number of close friends that americans
