（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 阅读理解 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） ain 1977, a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a nineteen-month-old baby in a most unusual way. the author was agatha christie, a gentle married lady and one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world. in june 1977 , a baby girl became seriously ill in qatar (卡塔尔) , near sandi arabia(沙特阿拉伯) . doctors were unable to find out the cause of her illness, so she was flown to london and sent to hammersmith hospital. a team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they, too, were puzzled by the very unusual signs of illness. while they were having a discussion about the babys illness, a nurse asked to speak to them. “excuse me,” said nurse marsha maitland, “but i think the baby is suffering from thallium poisoning(铊中毒) .”“what makes you think that?” dr. brown asked. “thallium poisoning is very rare.”“a few days ago, i was reading a novel called a pale horse by agatha christie,” nurse maitland explained. “in the book, somebody uses thallium poison, and all the signs are exactly the same as the baby s . ”“you are very careful and you may be right,” another doctor said. “well carry out some tests and find out whether it s thallium(铊) or not.”tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium. once they knew the cause of the illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment. she soon recovered and was sent back to qatar. later on it was proved that the poison might have come from an insecticide(杀虫剂) used in qatar. 46who first suggested the correct cause of the babys illness? _aa doctor in qatar. bnurse maitland.cdr. brown. dagatha christie. 47why was the baby sent to london? _ashe was a british girl whose parents were working in qatar. bthe hospitals in qatar were full at that time. cshe was the daughter of a doctor in one of the places. dthe qatar doctors were not sure they could cure her. 48as far as we can tell from the passage, agatha christie_ ahad never even met this baby. bhad spent a long time as a police officer. cvisited the baby in the hospital at hammersmith. dgave nurse maitland some advice on the phone. 49nurse maitland spoke to the doctors_.awhen she heard them discussing the possibility of thallium poison. bbecause she could see that the doctors had made a mistake.cto suggest a possible reason for the patient s illness. dafter she had read about a horse which had been poisoned.50what did the doctor think of the suggestion which nurse maitland made?athey were very quick to agree with her. bthey were unhappy over her interruption. cthey said that she was wrong because thallium poisoning is very rare. dthey thought it was a possibility worth considering. baw, isnt it cute? that, right there, is the officially accepted response to any animal contact the world over. animals are cute. theyre there to be photographed, loved, and occasionally fed. but you know what? not all animals are cute, or lovely, or even nice. some of them are a real pain in the neck.when you travel, you come into contact with all sorts of animals youve never heard of before. some of them are amazing creatures that youll talk about for the rest of your life. some of them are just annoying. so, at the risk of causing anger among animal lovers around the world, here are some of the worlds most annoying animals.vervet monkeys, south africayoull immediately notice two things about vervet monkeys: they have a bright blue bottom; and theyll steal any food thats not locked in a bank safe. i recently spent some time in south africa, and watched as monkey after monkey dived in from the trees and stole everyones food. get your own food, vervets! my sandwich was expensive!kea parrots, new zealand i have never seen one of these birds before but from what ive been told they are more annoying than a spoilt kid. from biting the paint off your car doors to stealing peoples passports, keas are probably the most curious, and therefore annoying, animals in the world. and theyre new zealanders. that makes sense!kangaroos, australiaanother well-known food-stealer, kangaroos are loved by tourists, eaten by australians, and generally enjoy making trouble for others. go on a camping trip anywhere in australia, and watch how long your bags of food last. turn your back for 15 minutes and the camp will look like thieves have turned the place upside down.grizzly bears, usathey look pretty cute, grizzly bears. you almost want to go up and give them a hug. unfortunately, it wouldnt end well. in fact, one of the worlds most huggable creatures is also the one most likely to kill you just because it can. oh, and itll steal your picnic basket, too.51. which of the following best describes the tone of the passage?a. humorous. b. angry. c. sad. d. frightening. 52. the author uses the underlined expression “pain in the neck” to suggest _.a. these animals may bite you on the neckb. these animals may cause some serious illnessc. people should be fearful of these animalsd. these animals can cause people a lot of trouble53. in which part of the newspaper would you probably find this passage?a. international. b. travel. c. environmental. d. fashion.54. which of the animals is the most dangerous according to the writer?a. vervet monkeys. b. kea parrots. c. kangaroos. d. grizzly bears.55. which of the following is not correct according to the passage?a. when people see the cute animals they might take photographs of them.b. sometimes people will feed the cute animals.c. spoilt kids are not annoying at all. d. australians eat kangaroos.cthe iphone, the ipad: each of apples products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” - and many other brands are following suit. the bbcs iplayer - which allows web users to watch tv programs on the internet -used the title in 2008. a lovely bear - popular in the us and uk - that plays music and video is called “iteddy”. a slimmed-down version(简装本) of londons independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.in general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.most “i” products are targeted at （针对）young people and considering the major readers of independents “i”, its no surprise that theyve selected this fashionable name.but its hard to see whats so special about the letter “i”. why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? according to tony thorne, head of the language center at kings college, london, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. when apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means internet, information, individual or interactive, thorne told bbc magazines. “even when apple created the ipod, it seems it didnt have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.“however, thanks to apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds thorne.clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the western world is centered on the individual. each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.along with “google” and “blog”, readers of bbc magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).but as history shows, people grow tired of fads. from the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. however, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared. 56. people use iplayer to _.a. listen to music b. make a call c. watch tv programs online d. read newspapers57. we can infer that the independents “i” is designed for _.a. young readers b. old readers c. fashionable women d. engineers58. the underlined word “ambiguous” means “_”.a. popular b. uncertain c. clear d. unique5974. nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are _.a. portable b. environmentally friendlyc. advanced d. recyclable60. the writer suggests that _.a. “i” products are often of high quality b. iteddy is alive bearc. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the productsd. the popularity of “i” products may not last longdmillions of americans return from long-distance trips by air, but their luggage doesnt always come home with them. airline identification tags（标签） can come loose, and the bags go who-knows-where. and passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.the airlines collect the items and, for 90 days, attempt to find their owners. they dont keep them, since theyre not in the warehouse business. and by law, they cannot sell the bags, because the airlines might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage.so once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, and they no longer belong to passengers, a unique store in the little town of scottsboro, alabama, buys them. the “unclaimed baggage center,” is so popular that the building, which is set up like a department store, is the number-one tourist attraction in all of alabama. more than one million visitors stop in each year and take one of the stores shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.each day, clerks bring out 7,000 new items, and veteran（老练的）shoppers rush to paw over them. you can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks, best-selling novels, leather jackets, tape recorders, surfboards, even half -used tubes of toothpaste.the stores own laundry washes or cleans all the clothes found in luggage, then sells them. the unclaimed baggage center has found guns, illegal drugs and even a live rattlesnake.the store has a little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions（获得物） have been preserved. they include highland bagpipes, a burial mask from an egyptian pharaohs tomb, and a medieval suit of armor.statistics indicate that less than one-half of one percent of luggage checked on u.s. carriers is permanently lost and available to the store.61. paragraph1 shows that many passengers lose their luggage because_. a. they are forgetful b. they are in a hurry c. there is no lost and found office in many airports d. the owners of some luggage cant be identified62. the reason why the airlines cannot sell the bags is that _. a. they have to find the owners b. they are likely to

goods. b. all the things there are very cheap.c. visitors may purchase something undervalued.d. visitors will enjoy some amusing activities there.64. what can we infer from the passage? a. a little museum will keep all the precious unclaimed baggage. b. the percentage of passengers who lose their baggage for ever is small. c. the things in the unclaimed baggage center are articles for daily use. d. people are not allowed to buy the illegal things in the store.65. what is the main purpose of the passage?a. to introduce how the unclaimed baggage in the airports is handled in america.b. to introduce an attractive place to tourists.c. to remind passengers of taking care of their baggage.d. to advise the airlines to find the owners of the unclaimed baggage.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读
