room. a patient called ms a was lying in bed, clearly still weak. there were no relatives or friends with her. even the bed beside her was empty. i sat down on a chair next to her bed, and in a low voice i introduced myself and asked if i could gather some additional information from her. she agreed. after i finished, i prepared to leave. before i could stand up, ms a said, “ i havent seen you here before, doctor. are you new?” “not really, madam. its just that i dont come here every day,” i replied. ms a started talking about herself. she shared her difficulties and sufferings, talked about her husband, who was killed in a car accident, and that she struggled to earn money. all i did was nod my head as a way of showing my sympathy.without realizing it, i had begun holding ms as hand. finally, ms a stopped talking. “im very sorry for keeping you here to listen to my problem, but i feel relieved now. i had no one to pour out my problems to.” tears fell from the corner of her

tell me what to drink, but also how to lookour society tends to place more importance on a persons physical beauty, rather than their ability, honesty and characterwe have influenced women to go through painful surgeries and starve themselves to become this society constructed physical modelto be a beautiful woman in the 21st century doesnt mean that you are a brilliant doctor or caring motherit means you have the perfect jaw structure, eyes and lipsit means that you can be six feet tall and weigh one hundred and ten poundsbut what about the women who are starting to leave their

back and look at all youve achievedit is when your hard work pays offunfortunately, our society just sees you as oldto stop the aging process, women buy wrinkle creams, do eye lifts and face liftsthey

covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16.rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world.losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.in the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources (资源): land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. this action affects the environment as a whole. for example，a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests. people obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.there are two main reasons for this. firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the world s wood supply.rainforests are often called the worlds drug store. more than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. however, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. it is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the worlds shrinking rainforests.语篇解读文章论述了热带雨林的重要作用以及对环境的影响。5rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they_.a. reflect more heat into the atmosphereb. bring about high rainfall throughout the worldc. rarely

however, that they hardly know a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of music is made. where a composer（作曲家）begins, how he manages to keep going in fact, how and when he learns his trade all are covered in complete darkness. the composer, in short, is a man of mystery（神秘）.one of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration（灵感）plays in a composers work. he finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question. writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. music is something that the composer happens to have been born for.the composer, therefore, does not say to himself: “do i feel inspired?” he says to himself: “do i feel like working today?” and if he feels like working, he does. it is more or less like saying to himself: “do i feel sleepy?” if you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. if you dont feel sleepy, you stay up. if the composer doesnt feel like working, he doesnt work. its as simple as that.57.what would be the best title for the text?a. composer: a man of mysteryb. practice makes good musicc. relation between sleeping and musicd. music: product of nature58.the words “covered in complete darkness” underlined in paragraph 1 most probably mean _.a. difficult to be made b. without any light c. black in colord. not known59.most people seem to think
