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 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 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 Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital , she also set up the first medical school for women.‎ ‎21.

Eilzabeth Blackwell spent most of her life in _______.‎ A. England B. Paris C. the United States D. New York City B Dear Alcohol,‎ You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.‎ Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.‎ Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. "I'm so embarrassed," they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit (呕吐). "I'm sorry," they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. "This won't happen again," they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.‎ Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it's all your fault.‎ I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love.

Humorous.‎ C Healthy people with stressful jobs who work long hours but get little satisfaction from what they do have twice the risk of dying from heart disease as satisfied employees, according to a study. Job stress has been known to cause heart problems in people who already have cardiovascular disease (心血管病). Finnish scientists have now shown that even in healthy people the pressures of work can take their toll. High blood pressure, lack of exercise, smoking and being overweight contribute to heart disease—a leading killer in many industrialized countries.‎ But Mika Kivimaki, of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, and his colleagues, who studied the medical histories of 812 healthy Finnish men and women in a metal industry company over 25 years, said job stress also plays an important role.‎ Workers who had the highest job-related stress levels at the start of the study were more than twice as likely to die of heart disease, according to the study published ‎ in The British Medical Journal. Work stress involves too much work as well as a lack of satisfaction and feeling undervalued and unappreciated. Many people work long hours but if the effort is rewarding the stress is minimized.‎ The British Heart Foundation said the results support earlier research showing that people in jobs with low control, such as manual(体力的) workers, could be as great risk of heart disease than other employees. “ It is advisable for people to try to minimize levels of stress at work and for employees to allow people to have more control at work and to be rewarded for their successes,” the foundation said in a statement.‎ ‎28. Healthy people may die from heart disease of _________________.‎ A. too much job stress B. working too hard C. feeling valued D. being satisfied ‎29. Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage?‎ A. High blood pressure is likely to cause heart disease.‎ B. Being overweight may cause heart disease.‎ C. Job stress is most likely to cause heart disease.‎ D. Working long hours must cause heart disease.‎ ‎30. According to Mika Kivimaki job stress ____________.‎ A. is necessary if you work in a metal industry company.‎ B. can also cause heart disease like smoking C. plays an important part in the medical history D. won’t bring any risk of heart disease ‎31. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _______________.‎ A. advise people not to work long hours B. suggest that everyone be satisfied with everything C. ask us to learn to enjoy ourselves D. tell us that job stress threatens our health nowadays.‎ D Whether we’re 2 years old or 62, our reasons for lying are mostly the same: to get out of trouble, for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes ‎ of others. But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a child’s lie is different from an adult’s lie, and how the way we deceive changes as we grow.‎ ‎“Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed. Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,” says Dr. Lee, a professor at the University of Toronto and director of the Institute of Child Study. He has spent the last 15 years studying how lying changes as kids get older, why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying. The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage. Dr. Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras. Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy, which is put behind the child’s back. Whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape.‎ For young kids, the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments. When the test-giver returns to the room, the child is asked if he or she looked secretly. At age 2, about a quarter of children will lie and say they didn’t. By 3, half of kids will lie, and by 4, that figure is 90%, studies show.‎ Researchers have found that it’s kids with better understanding abilities who lie more. That’s because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind, which includes many brain processes, such as combining several sources of information and faking that information. The ability to lie — and lie successfully  — is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called “executive functioning”, or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities. Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.‎ ‎32. What’s the purpose of children telling lies?‎ A. To help their friends out. B. To get rid of trouble.‎ C. To get attention from others. D. To create a popular image.‎ ‎33. The underlined word “deceive” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “ _______”.‎ A. tell lies                                B. handle troubles C. raise questions                      D. do research ‎34. From the second paragraph we can know that _______.‎ A. which factors can reduce lying B. why some lie more than others C. it is normal for kids to tell lies D. how lying changes as kids grow ‎35. What is NOT included in the passage?‎ A. The reasons why kids tell lies. B. Which kind of kids tells more lies.‎ C. Experiments about lying of young kids. D. What to do with lying children.‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题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。选项中有两项是多余选项。‎ The running of the bulls is a nine-day traditional Spanish festival in honor of Saint Fermin in Pamplona. Every year, at midday on July 6th, the Mayor of Pamplona shoots a rocket. 36 The participants are usually dressed in white and wear red neckerchiefs and belts. They open champagne(香槟酒）mostly used for sprinkling（撒）other people.‎ ‎37 It starts every day at eight in the morning and the runners run, sometimes wildly, sometimes less. They shoot the first rocket as a sign that the run has begun. Then they shoot the second one when the bulls are out in the streets. Six bulls which are trying to attack the participants from behind run down the 900-meter-long street with a lot of spectators. 38 All of the six bulls are going to be killed at the bullfight in the stadium.‎ The bullfight in the stadium begins at half past six in the afternoon.

Later when the ‎ bull is tired, there comes another person—a “matador” who kills it with an arrow. 40 At the end of the celebration, another rocket is shot as a sign that the bullfight is finished.‎ A.

This can happen at a bus stop, in a restaurant or at a supermarket. Why is that? We’ve probably got two reasons. The first reason is supposed to be that people are trying to make good use of time. And the second one may be that people show little interest in what’s happening around them. However, focusing only on what’s on our mobile phones may not only do harm to our eyesight, but also prevent us from communicating normally.‎ Therefore, some other ways to kill time are strongly suggested. For me, chatting with others is a good replacement of playing always with mobile phones.‎ 听力原文：‎
