wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several peoples lives. he had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed. “i watched one of those tv dramas about a hospital and suddenly i felt like playing one of the roles myself. so i put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(听诊器)and walked around one of the biggest hospital in london. at first i just watched. once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and others doctors, its easy to take people in,” he said. one of the patients he treated was laura kennan. she had been knocked down by a car and fainted. when she came to in hospital, york was standing over her. “he looked very professional. he told me his name was doctor simon. then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said. and then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. she didnt think there was anything wrong. “i would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadnt showed me his photograph a week later. when the policewoman told me who he really was, i could hardly believe my cars.” judge raymond adams told york that he was. “ shocked and horrified” that he got away with his deceiving for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders.“i can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. after all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists(精神科医生)who will look after you while you are there. if you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free, i shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” judge adams warned york.75. york was proud of the fact that _.a. a surgeon let him watch an operation.b. he could perform some

and taken from the north atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” in their home port of halifax, nova scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the babys grave (墓), carved with the words: “to the memory of an unknown child.” he has rested there ever since. but history has a way of uncovering its secrets. on nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from finland arrived at halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “this is our baby,” says magda schleifer, 68, a banker. she grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named maria panula,42, who had sailed on the titanic for america to be reunited with her husband. according to the information mrs. schleifer had gathered, panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children - including a 13-month-old boy named eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. we thought they were all lost in the sea, says schleifer. now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the babys grave, scientists have compared thedna from the unknown child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the titanic and never recovered the bodies. the result of the test points only to one possible person: young eino. now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. he belongs to the people of halifax, says schleifer. theyve taken care of him for 90 years. adapted from people, november 25, 200256. the baby travelled on the titanic with his_. a. mother b. parents c. aunt d. relatives57. what is probably the boys last name? a. schleiferi b. eino. c. magda. d. panula.58. some members of the family went to halifax and put flowers at the childs grave on nov. 5_.a. 1912 b. 1954 c. 2002 d. 200459. this text is mainly about how_. a. the unknown babys body was taken from the north atlantic b. the unknown baby was buried in halifax, nova scotia c. people found out who the unknown baby was d. people took care of the unknown baby for 90 years【答案】56a 57d 58c 59c【2004全国卷】amy teenage son karl became withdrawn after his father died . as a single parent . i tried to

cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known i: exactly; tab-stops: 105.0pt 189.0pt 273.0pn 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(可用的) 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 th painful at tomorrow.71. what ate the requirements for the healthy growth of roses? 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.72. the writer planted the tomato because _. a. it cost only $1. 25 b. the soil was just right for it c. there was room for it in the garden d. the roses branches needed to be covered73. this year the writers roses were _. a. removed from the rose bed b. picked along with the tomatoes c. mostly damaged by too much sunlight d. largely hidden under the tomato plant74. 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 roses c. express her liking for the roses d. express her care for the tomatoes75. in the situation described in the text, one good thing is that _. a. the roses cost the writer little money b. the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoes c. someone will help the writer make the decision d. the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes答案 71.a 72.c 73.d 74.a 75.bpassage 54(05全国a篇)every year on my birthday, from the time i turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house. no card came with it calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. after a while i stopped trying to discover the senders name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.but i never stopped imagining who the giver might be. some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. my mother encouraged these imaginings. shed ask me if there was someone for whom i had done special kindness. perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail id delivered during the winter. as a girl, though, i had more fun imagining that it might be a boy i had run into.one month before my graduation, my father died. i felt so sad that i became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and i didnt care if i had a new dress or not. but my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. she wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. in truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gar-denia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery(神秘)my mother died ten days after i was married. i was 22. that was the year the gardenia stopped coming.41 which of the following would be the best title for the text?aa childhood dream.ba mothers love.ca graduation party.da special birthday.42the mother insisted that her daughter go to the graduation dance because _.ashe could take care of things herselfbshe hoped she would find a boyfriendcshe wanted her to be happy and strongdshe thought education was most import
