将该项涂黑 A A Every day my husband parked his car in the same open air car park in Zimbabwe On this particular day he had been running to his car with a huge bundle of office papers under his arm As he opened the car door he suddenly lost control of his body He felt a stabbing pain in his arm became totally breathless and lost consciousness As he collapsed half in half out of the car his last thought was what a way to die A young woman getting into her own car in the otherwise deserted car park noticed what was going on and at once ran to my husband s aid trying to resuscitate him Realizing time was critical she tried to move my husband to her car calling the guard at the gate Fearing an ambulance would take too long to arrive she felt it better to get to the hospital as quickly as she could She raced through traffic lights sounding her car s horn and screeched into the hospital car park calling out I have an unknown man here who I think is having a heart attack Once this Good Samaritan realized he was in capable hands she returned to the car park found his keys on the ground collected his scattered papers and stacked them in the car Having seen my husband come out of a certain building each day the security guard thought he knew where he worked The young woman managed to locate his colleagues who in turn contacted my niece She then waited for me to return home so she could break the news to me After extensive tests it turned out that my husband had had a grand mal epileptic seizure We were naturally eager to find the kind stranger who had come to his aid After some weeks we discovered where the young woman worked She was overjoyed when my husband walked into her office with a huge bouquet 束 of flowers She said she required no thanks and preferred to remain anonymous 匿名的 We now live in a different country but each Christmas my husband remembers her act of kindness and sends a gift We regard every day of his life as a bonus all thanks to this kind stranger 56 From the passage we can infer that A a heart attack hit the writer s husband suddenly B there were few cars in her park that day C the young woman was at a loss at first D the woman was fined for breaking the traffic lights 57 The underlined word resuscitate in Paragraph 2 may mean A get outB help stand upC bring back to life D wake up 58 Who told the writer the news of her husband s illness A The young woman B The security guard C The colleague of her husband D The writer s niece 59 What might be the most suitable title for the passage A The Gift of LifeB An Act of Thanks C The Attack of a DiseaseD The Love of a Young Woman B B 60 The organization S K I aims to A provide schools and social support for street children B give business training and loans to street children C share the lessons S K I learned to help street children D draw the attention of the government to street children 61 According to the passage what is the most probable reason why children

families C set up their own business D employ other children 63 Street children can borrow money A but should pay interestB and needn t pay any interest C and needn t pay it backD but should spend it on school things C C Not everyone who teaches in a college or university is a professor Many are instructors or lecturers In fact not even all professors are full professors Many of them are assistant or associate professors or adjunct professors So what do all of these different academic titles mean at American colleges Micro Enterprise Credit for Street Youth IntroductionIntroduction Although small scale business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world relatively little attention has been paid to the need to direct such opportunities to living on the street or in difficult circumstances Over the past nine years Street Kids International S K I has been working with partner organizations in Africa Latin America and India to support the economic lives of street children The purpose of this paper is to share some of the lessons S K I and our partner organizations have learned BackgroundBackground Typically children end up on the streets not due to a single cause but to a combination of factors a lack of adequately funded schools the demand for income at home and so on The street may be attractive to children as a place to find adventurous play and money However it is also a place where some children are exposed with little or no protection to exploitative 剥削的 employment urban crime LessonsLessons learnedlearned The following lessons have come from the programs that S K I and partner organizations have created It is important for all loans 贷款 to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic business and life skills Small loans are provided for purchasing things such as bicycles shoe shining kits 装备 All S K I programs have charged interest on the loans primarily to get the business runners used to the concept of paying interest on borrowed money Generally the rates have been modest ConclusionConclusion There is a need to recognize the importance of access to credit for poor young people seeking to fulfill economic needs and universities Get ready for a short lecture especially if you are thinking of a career in higher education Professors usually need a doctoral degree But sometimes a school will offer positions to people who have not yet received their doctorate This person would be called an instructor until the degree has been completed After that the instructor could become an assistant professor Assistant professors do not have tenure Tenure means a permanent appointment This goal of greater job security is harder to reach these days Fewer teaching positions offer the chance for tenure Assistant professors generally have five to seven years to gain tenure During this time other faculty members study the person s work If tenure is denied then the assistant professor usually has a year to find another job An assistant professor who receives tenure becomes an associate professor An associate professor may later be appointed a full professor Assistant associate and full professors perform many duties They teach classes They advise students And they carry out research They also serve on committees and take part in other activities Other faculty members are not expected to do all these jobs They are not on a tenure track Instead they might be in adjunct or visiting positions A visiting professor has a job at one school but works at another for a period of time An adjunct professor is also a limited or part time position to do research or teach classes Adjunct professors have a doctorate Another position is that of lecturer Lecturers teach classes but they may or may not have a doctorate 64 In which column of a newspaper can the passage probably appear A Education B Entertainment C Politics D Sports 65 Which of the following positions should have a doctor degree A Instructors and lecturers B Assistant professors and instructors C Lecturers and adjunct professors D Assistant and adjunct professors 66 According to Paragraph 6 how long can an assistant professor stay in his or her position at most A 13 years B 12 years C 7 years D 8 years 67 Which one shows the correct order for a professor s development a An assistant professor b An instructor c A full professor d An associate professor A b a d c B b d a c C c a d b D b c a d D D A new beauty making computer program uses a mathematical formula 公式 involving 234 measurements of distances between facial features to get a theoretically more attractive version of a picture while keeping the basic appearance of the face unchanged Unlike changes done in fashion magazine photos wrinkles were not smoothed and hair color was not changed The program is the latest attempt to combine beauty and science a subject that has drawn increasing academic interest in the last decade Studies have shown there is surprising agreement among people of different cultures about what makes a face attractive Most important is symmetry 匀称 along with youthfulness skin smoothness and vivid eyes and hair color Yet like the many other scientific or mathematical attempts to define beauty this software program raises complex and difficult questions about the understanding of beauty How can they prove something is more or less beautiful said Lois Banner a history professor at Chicago University who studies changing beauty standards There can never be a single standard of beauty because so much of it is culturally influenced After viewing before and after photographs of different people Banner said the original faces were more attractive Irregular beauty is the real beauty said Banner adding that attempts to measure beauty are driven by the media s efforts to define beauty and who is beautiful Martina Eckstut the woman whose photo was beautified for this article said she was struck by how different she looked I think the after picture looks great but it doesn t really look like me at all She added I would like to keep my original face For centuries people have tried to define a universal idea of beauty The first reaction we have to faces will be based on face symmetry said Alexander Nehamas a professor who has written about beauty But in real life we don t just see a face We see faces as people express their emotions and ideas and all those aspects of the face are essential to our deciding whether a face or a person is beautiful 68 How does the beauty making computer program work A It changes the distances between facial features B It smooths the skin and softens the color of the hair C It repairs imperfect facial appearance by using a mathematical formula D It replaces the original face with a similar one 69 After seeing her beautified photo Martina Eckstut A was shocked because her face looked really very ugly
