Doctors there were unable to find out the cause of her illness, so she was sent to a famous hospital in London, where there were many excellent doctors. The baby was so seriously ill that a team of doctors hurried to examine her without delay. The doctors, too, were puzzled by the babys illness and they also became discouraged. Just then a nurse asked to speak to them.“I think the baby is suffering from thallium (铊) poisoning. ” said the nurse. “A few days ago, I read a story A Pale Horse written by Agatha Christie. Someone uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms (症状) are written in the book. They are exactly the same as the babys.”“Youre very good at observing things,” said a doctor, “and you may be right. Well carry out some tests and find out whether the cause is thallium poisoning or not.”The tests proved that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium. Once they knew the cause, the doctors were able to give her correct treatment. The baby soon got well and was sent back to Deleville. A week later it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide (杀虫剂) used in Deleville.41. The baby was sent to a hospital in London because _.A. her parents were living in London thenB. the hospitals in Deleville were full at that timeC. doctors in Deleville were not sure about the cause of her illnessD. she was the daughter of a famous doctor in London42. When the baby was first sent to the hospital in London, her illness was considered to be _.A. quite easy to treat B. the result of thallium poisoningC. a common one D. extraordinarily serious43. From this passage it seems that the babys illness had something to do with _.A. a dead writer B. a harmful substance ( 物质) used to kill pestsC. the water in Deleville D. a dangerous murderer44. As far as we can tell from the story, Agatha Christie _.A.had never met this baby B.had spent a long time studying the babys illnessC.visited the baby both in Deleville and LondonD.gave the nurse some advice on the telephone B Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time. Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience. E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours arent necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if shed been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool. The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun - see a great movie perhaps - and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may be tired of telling the story. With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience. E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college. We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way ofstaying in touch. They dont take the place of any of the old ways. 45. The purpose of this passage is to _. A. explain how to use the Internet B. describe the writers joy of keeping up with the latest technology C. tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the Internet D. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet 46. The use of E-mail has made it possible for the writer to _. A. have more free time with his child B. spend less time working C. work at home on weekends D. work at a speed comfortable to him 47. According to the writer, E-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one _. A. reach a group of people at one time conveniently B. keep ones communication as personal as possible C. pass on much more information than the later D. get in touch with ones friends faster than the later 48. The best title for this passage is _. A. Computer: New Technological Advances B. Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good FriendshipC. Computers Have Made Life Easier D. Internet: a Convenient Tool for Communication CSome people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.I am one of those unlucky people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the place I was heading for.I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit（承认）that they didnt know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite（相反的）direction to that in which you should be going.If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.49. What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction? A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly. B. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town. C. He will give the very person long list of direction. D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.50. Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog? A. Because of his poor sense of direction. B. Because he always forget the way to home. C. Because he did not have any friend. D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.51. How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?A. He felt strange. B. He felt embarrassed. C. He felt very sad. D. He felt astonished.52. Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage? A. Someone we dont know.B. The writer did it for himself. C. The secretary did so.D. A warm-hearted old lady did itDMalnutrition (营养失调)remains a serious problem for India. But a new study shows that Indias leading causes of death now also include diseases related to obesity（肥胖）such as heart disease.Indias National Family Health Survey shows that more than twenty percent of Indians living in cities are overweight or obese. And in the northwestern state of Punjab, that is true for almost forty percent of women.Aradhna Tripathi is a business professional in New Delhi. She said, “ Eating is the most important thing in any Indian household and how you show your love and gratitude(感激) for a person is through the kind of food you serve him. And the kind of lifestyle we are leading is one of the reasons why we have the number of obese people increasing every day.But Aradhna Tripathi says she has decided to lose weight. Her mother and grandmother are also diabetic(患糖尿病的). In fact, the International Diabetes Federation says India is now the diabetes capital of the world. Researchers say Indians store more body fat per kilogram than Europeans. That means obese Indians are even more at the risk of diabetes than other people.Doctor Anoop Misra at Fortis Hospital in New Delhi says the risk of diabetes is crossing social and economic lines. Five years ago, he says, obesity and diabetes were limited to Indias richest people, but now things have changed.But Doctor Misra is hopeful that the spread (蔓延，传播)of obesity can be slowed. And he says it must start in schools by giving all Indian children the same instruction on physical activity and diet.The World Health Organization says China is also moving up in obesity rates. The estimate (估计) has reached about five percent countryside and as high as twenty percent in some cities.53. What is this passage mainly about?A. Obesity has become a big killer in India. B. Heart disease is troubling people in India.C. People in India live a very unhealthy life. D. Malnutrition remains a serious problem in India.54. According to Aradhna Tripathi , one of the causes of the obesity problems is_.A. .the development of economy B. the change of Indians lifestyleC. Indians attitude （态度）towards eating D. Indians attitude towards obesity.55. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5?A. Most rich people in India are overweight. B. Five years ago, few people in India were overweightC. Few poor people are diabetic for economic reasons.D. Now even the poor in India suffer from obesity.高一阅读训练二II. 完形填空(共 20 小题; 每小题1分,满分20分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后在各题所给的四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Last night, when I was driving back home, I noticed a hitchhiker(搭便车的人) who was having no luck getting a ride.

These seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However, its far from enough. Ladies and gentlemen, weve got to come up with some better ideas to help them.I was very surprised, then, when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers（便携式电脑）for children in developing countries. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which can run without electricity. He decided to invent this computer after he visited a school in Cambodia.The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is a little different from the normal laptop computers you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is very strong and wont be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle（把手）so that children can wind（摇）the computer up to give it extra power when needed.These special laptop computers will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to build as many as 15 million machines in the first year of production. The idea is that
