第二篇
In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 36 a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的) time in Daniel's life. I wanted to 37 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 38 time I had let such moments pass.
3
When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked 39 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 42 me. Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 43 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 44 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 45 to me. Or what he might 46 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything. What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 47 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 48 never hearing him put his 49 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 50 to tell a son something from the heart? My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was 52 of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed 53 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 55 . 36. A. experience B. spend C. enjoy D. shape 37. A. show B. give C. leave D. instruct 38. A. last B. first C. very D. next 39. A. upward B. into C. down D. up 40. A. sign B. scene C. scenery D. sight 41. A. interest B. instruction C. courage D. direction 42. A. failed B. discouraged C. struck D. troubled 43. A. future B. embarrassing C. obvious D. lost 44. A. last B. pass C. fly D. remain 45. A. counted B. meant C. valued D. cared 46. A. think B. want C. expect D. wish 47. A. But B. And C. Instead D. So 48. A. wondered B. regretted C. minded D. tried 49. A. views B. actions C. feelings D. attitudes 50. A. important B. essential C. hard D. complex 51. A. disappeared B. changed C. progressed D. advanced 52. A. sensitive B. convinced C. aware D. tired 53. A. by B. against C. on D. with 54. A. clumsy B. gentle C. absurd D. moving 55. A. none B. all C. anything D. everything 五．阅读理解 (扬州中学2013-2014学年高二上学期开学)
Our risk of cancer rises rapidly as we age. So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors (肿瘤) or doesn’t it?
While such tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly. With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it s important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing.
In many cases, screening can lead to additional examinations and operations to remove cancer,
4
which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not cause serious health problems in patients’ remaining years. But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained (根深蒂固的) that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a noisy reaction among doctors, patients and social groups.
It’s hard to uproot deeply-held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data. Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment. And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or previous personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly. But for the rest, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy.
A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screening—especially considering the explosion of the elderly.
It’s not an easy calculation to make, but one that makes sense for patients. Dr. Otis Brawley said, “Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to cover themselves from medical disputes. We need to think about the wise use of health care, which means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.”
63. Routine cancer screening for the elderly people makes sense because ______.
A. it is believed to contribute to a long life B. it is part of their health care package
C. they are more sensitive about the health D. they are in greater danger of tumor growth 64. How do some researchers now look at routine cancer screening for the elderly? A. It adds too much to their medical bills. B. They are doubtful about necessity. C. It helps increase their life expectancy. D. They think it does more harm than good. 65. What is the traditional view about women screening for breast cancer? A. It is a must for adult women. B. It applies to women over 50. C. It is intended for young women. D. It doesn’t apply to women over 74. 66. Why do many doctors advise routine screening for cancer? A. They want to take advantage of the medical care system. B. They want to protect themselves against medical disputes. C. They want data for medical research. D. They want their patients to suffer less.
67. What does the writer say is the general view about health care? A. Better care, longer life. B. Prevention is better than cure. C. Better early than late. D. The more, the better. 六．任务型阅读
第一篇
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society,
