So far, more than three dozen billionaires, including well-known philanthropists(慈善家) David Rockfeller, have promised at least half of their fortunes to charity, joining a program that Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett started in June to encourage other wealthy people to give.The pledge is currently worth about $150 billion, but the program predicts it will eventually be worth $600 billion.“During even the Depressions worst years, my parents gave money- about 8% of their annual income of $2200, ” said Lorry Lokey, one of the donors, on the website of the program, the Giving Pledge, “I remember saying to my mother that we cant afford that. But she said we have to share with others.”Buffet said the real value of the Pledge was found in the example it set and in the sentiments(情感) expressed in the letters posted on the website.Buffett and Gates will hold several dinners later this year to recruit more billionaire, and members of the Giving Pledge will meet annually to discuss their philanthropy.The pair are due to meet some wealthiest people in China next month and Indian in March.“We hope this catches fire in some other countries,” said Buffett, “If they want to take what we think is a good idea and run with it, we will be cheering.”Buffett said the number of people who had agreed to sign the pledge was at the high end of his expectations. He said some people who refused to sign the pledge were planning to give away most of their wealth but did not want to draw attention to those plans.Energy tycoon(大亨) Pickens, who is worth about $1 billion, said in his Giving Pledge letter, “Ive long stated that I enjoy making money, and I enjoy giving it away. Im not a big fan of inherited(继承) wealth. It generally does more harm than good.”21. Whats the purpose of the progam started by Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett? A. To spread the idea of charity around the world.B. To involve more wealthy people in charity.C. To publicize the pains and gains of charity work.D. To narrow the gap between the rich and the poor.22. What message does Lorry Lokey intend to convey through his website posting? A. His familys income is far from large.B. His family suffered during the Great Depression C. The spirit of giving runs in his family.D. The wealth of his family has come in a hard way.23. What does energy tycoon Pickens try to say in his Giving Pledge letter? A. Blessed are those who inherit large fortunes.B. Leaving a fortune to ones children is unwise. C. The more you give, the happier you will be.D. Charity can help people in trouble.BCancer is a disease feared by everyone. Once the hard decisions have been made about how to treat a patients cancer, doctors face an even more difficult question: how do you help patients deal with the side effects of treatment?The issue is a challenge for physicians because, unlike cancer therapies, there are few scientific studies on the most effective ways to handle the side effectsincluding common symptoms such as poor sleep or exhaustion. But addressing these seemingly common complications(并发症) is extremely important for helping patients maintain their regular lifestyle, which in turn may even encourage the success of their cancer treatment.Thats why Dr. Karen Mustian of the University of Rochester medical Center decided to put a favorite practice of cancer survivorsyogato the test. In a paper she will present at the American Society of Clinical Oncology(肿瘤学) (ASCO) annual meeting in June, Mustian designed a standardized program based on health yogaa slow-moving form of the disciplineand tested its effect on improving the quality of life for cancer survivors.Called YOCAS, the four-week program involved sessions of hatha yoga twice a week for 75 minutes each, in combination with breathing exercise and meditation(冥想). Among the 410 participants, who were divided into yoga and traditional follow-up care groups, those practicing yoga recorded nearly double the improvement in sleep quality and reduction of exhaustion compared to those not practicing yoga. They also reported better quality of life overall, Mustian says.For cancer physicians, the findings will be a welcome addition to their discussions with patients. “Many patients ask about complementary therapies(补充疗法),” says Dr. Douglas Blayney, medical director of the comprehensive cancer center at University of Michigan and president of ASCO. “I often dont know what to tell them because there isnt a lot of science on these complementary therapies. Here is a scientific study showing benefit, so at least we can have some assurance in telling women that here is a yoga program, here are its characteristics and it has been shown to have positive effects on sleep and quality life.”24. What bothers the cancer physicians after determining the treatment plan? A. How to handle the side effects effectively.B. How to prevent the side effects from appearing. C. How to persuade the patient to accept the therapy.D. How to prove effectiveness of the treatment.25. Why is it significant to help patients deal with the side effects of the cancer treatment? A. Because it is the most effective way to cure cancer. B. Because it could shorten the time of the treatment. C. Because it enables them to do exercise regularly. D. Because it increases the possibility of their complete recovery.26. According to Dr. Douglas Blayney, the YOCAS program is _. A. beneficialB. unscientificC. uselessD. popular CSince I graduated from high school, Ive worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer. However, making the transition(转变) between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 oclock each morning is a torture.Therere few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing(裁员) and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my-worker told me that until the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other choices have become only too clear. When Im back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seem too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcement about the value of an education that used to sound stale (out of date) now ring true.These lessons Im learning, however valuable, are always tinged(带有) with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. “The job pays well, but its hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keeping reading,” she added.My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years after I enter the real world for good.27. What does the author say about college students?A. They expect too much from the real world.B. They think too highly of themselves. C. They have little interest in blue-collar life.D. They are confident of their future.28. What, according to the author, is most frustrating for blue-collar workers? A. They do not get good pay.B. They have to work 12-hour shift. C. They do not have job security. D. They have to move from place to place.29. In what important way has the authors work experience changed him?A. He learned to be more practical. B. He came to respect blue-collar workers.C. He acquired a sense of urgency.D. He came to appreciate his college education.30. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “torture”? A. miseryB. fortuneC. anxietyD. acceptance第二节（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Why are Americans Fascinated with Guns?“More people in the USA can buy a gun and more people die by the gun than in any other country in the world.” This sentence appeared in an American newspaper in December 1980, after the murder in New Work of John Lennon, the British pop star. His murder shocked the American world, the huge majority be mugged(袭击并抢劫) sometime during their lives. In 1980, there were about 23000 murders in the USA. 31 There are gun stores pretty much everywhere. And you can get a license easily. 32 John Lenons murderer just walked into a gun store and bought a revolverno questions asked. You can even buy guns by mail order. Why are Americans so eager to own guns. 33 Actually, Americans seem to have a long history of owning guns. Their forefathers were frontiersmen who had once used guns against outlaws, cattle rustlers, and the Indians. Today people want to use guns to protect themselves against gangsters, muggers and burglars. Another reason is that hunting is popular there. 34 But it doesnt help. There is the National Rifle Association. There are 3 million members, and they have friends with influence in Congress. They also have strong support from gun manufacturers.And many Americans themselves would not like to give up their guns. Its their rights as free people to own a gun. It was written into the Bill of Rights in 1790. 35 New York is a wonderful city, but male New Yorkers between the age of 21 and 44 are more likely to be murdered than to die of any other cause. And murders take place mainly in poor districts. Most of the murders are gangsters killing gangsters. Sometimes people even get mugged in the center of Manhattan, in their own flats. Maybe this is why people have chains and peepholes on their doors, and sometimes a locked turnstiles and an armed security guard downstairs. But still they do not feel safe.A. So Americans love to own guns.B. So the result is violence and murder.C. Self-defence might be one reason.D. You can easily make a gun by yourself.E. You dont even have to say what you want it for.F. Now many Americans want a new law to control the ownership of guns, especially handguns. G. At the root of this violence is the gun, which Americans can buy and keep in their homes as easily as if it was a toy.第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20个小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D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。A straight-A student got a C in cooking class and didnt like it.
