One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.In 1849, after graduation from medical school. she decided to further（深造） her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children.

Eilzabeth Blackwell spent most of her life in _.A. England B. Paris C. the United States D. New York CityBThere once was a very honest shopkeeper whose business was to provide goods to the local people. He would open his shop at 8:00 a.m. after having his breakfast, and at 1:00 p.m. he would go for lunch. In the evening at 8:30 p.m. he closed his shop to complete his daily routine.However, to get time for lunch was really difficult because he didnt have anybody to help him at that time. Therefore, it was his daily practice that whichever customer was shopping at 1:00 p.m. would be asked to oversee (看管) the shop until the shopkeeper returned from lunch.One day, a group of four thieves planned to steal from his shop while he was gone for lunch. One of the thieves went at 1:00 p.m. to be the customer that would be asked to oversee the shop.The thief, pretending to be a customer, went in at 1:00 p.m. and started buying several items. As planned, the shopkeeper asked the thief to sit on his chair for thirty minutes until he returned from lunch.Then, the other three thieves quickly came and told the pretended customer to help, but something had changed within him and he knew deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility for the shop, he should not perform any dishonest acts during that time. His friends did not agree. As the now honest man tried to stop them, they resisted (抵抗) and a fight started. And at the same time the shopkeeper returned and asked why there was a fighting. The now honest man explained the entire plan.The shopkeeper smiled and said that he had been searching for an honest man who could take ownership of the shop and run it for a long time. The shopkeeper felt that he had found the right man.6. What is the problem for the shopkeeper?A. Nobody could prepare lunch for him every day.B. He had nobody to keep the shop when he went for lunch.C. He was too busy to have lunch every day.D. He couldnt find a person to work at the shop.7. Why did the thief go to the shop at 1:00 p.m.?A.

When the shopkeeper returned from lunch, he found _.A. everything in his shop was stolenB. the thief became the new owner of the shopC. there was a fighting in his shopD. the thief helped his fellows steal things from his shop9. From the passage, we can infer that _.A. once a thief, he will always be a thiefB. an honest man will be responsible for his actionC. you cant believe in a dishonest man foreverD. trust can change a thief into an honest man10. Which is the best title for the article?A. A group of dishonor men B. Trust and to be trustedC. How to find a right man D. How to run a shopCResearchers found that compared with young people who spent much of their free time in front of TV sets, those who were physically active often had higher self-respect, better grades and were less likely to have risky behavior like taking drugs, smoking, or drinking. The findings, based on a national survey of nearly 12, 000 middle and high school students, were published in a journal.“Across the board, children who engaged in any kind of activity were better off than kids who watched a lot of TV,” said study co-author professor Penny Gordon Larsen of the University of North Carolina.Other studies have linked certain content of television programs, such as violence and sex, to childrens behavior. But beyond this issue, Gordon Larsen said that kids who spend hours watching TV “miss opportunities” to develop skills, learn teamwork and have other experiences that their more active peers(同辈) benefit from.That doesnt mean, however, that kids have to be on the football team. The study found that some activities like skating and skateboardwhich adults sometimes frown uponwere also related to better self-respect and less risk-taking.That skaters were better behaved than TV-watchers might come as a surprise to some adults who consider these teens to be bad, according to Gordon Larsen. Skateboarding is forbidden in many public areas, and some communities disagree to build skating parks. But if kids who like to skate have nowhere to do it, “ its a shame,” said Gordon Larsen.Not only should parents encourage their kids to engage（参与）in the physical activities they enjoy, she said, but schools and communities should also do more to create opportunities for children to be active.11. From the passage we know that_?A. physically active kids get into less troubleB. more skating parks are being built.C. kids who spend hours watching TV benefit a lotD. kids who have nowhere to skate tend to take drugs.12. If your kid is a football player, he is more likely to _A. get into the habit of smoking or drinking. B. develop teamwork spirit.C. have risky behaviors. D. fail in the schoolwork.13. This passage is mainly written to _ .A. offer some information to teachers and parents.B. persuade kids not to watch a lot of TV.C. urge（推动） the public to help children be active.D. show the authors concern about childrens growth.14. What the underlined sentence “ which adults sometimes frown upon?” in the 4th paragraph mean?A. Some adults dont understand the sports.B. Some adults are impatient with kids.C. Adults consider it dangerous to go skating or skateboardingD. Some adults think them related to bad behaviors.15. It can be inferred from the passage that _?A. kids are not expected to be active by some parentsB. professor Penny is a famous writer and journalist.C. Skateboarding is popular in schools and communities.D. kids are not encouraged to join the football team.第二节 阅读七选五 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的7个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。Recent scientific studies have only underlined the importance of good sleep.
