On the late evening of Nov 2015, I was 36 to a local grocery store after work to pick up a few items for dinner with my family. All that day November 27 I had a headache that just would not 37 ! I never made it to the store, I suffered a stroke while driving drifting into oncoming 38 and was hit by a large truck nearly head on! The 39 left me hanging partially out the driver’s side door by my seat belt. I was 40 enough to release the belt. Fortunately, an off-duty fireman was just across the street and 41 immediately. Next I saw myself from just 42 my body as the sound of sirens (汽笛) came closer. Half of my body was bathed in what I can best 43 as a White and Silvery light, the other half of me the Blackest of Blacks! I don’t know why but something told me, that deepest of black was something no one could 44 from! I then, off to my left heard a 45 basically chewing me out (责骂) for how I had lived my life to that point and that “GOD doesn’t take 46 sitters.” The “voice” then stated “go back and experience the 47 you’ve caused to others!” 6 days later I awoke, and found out my heart had stopped en route to the hospital and that I nearly 48 ! When I 49 , my wife, my rock Petra is her name, was there at that moment! I was told that I had congestive heart failure at just age 49 and that many weeks and months 50 ahead of physical therapy and that it would be a long road back. I was 51 by the stroke on my left side and it surely appeared that many months lay ahead. That accident took place on Nov 28 2015. I was 52 from Physical Therapy on Christmas Day 2015…and I 53 out of the hospital not perfect! In these times with so much doubt, I just feel that my story inspires people “sitting on the fence” to take a 54 look at their lives, faith and what is truly important. It was then that I began to accompany my daughter with autism (孤独症). It's not perfect, she still has her moments. But, I found by 55 more time than lip service to her, we now have a great relationship. 36. A. walking B. driving C. marching D. passing 37. A. turn away B. give away C. go away D. do away 38.

To tell netizens of online registration B Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. At age 75, Fauci has served under five presidents during his tenure (任期). His advice is sought all over the world when infectious diseases threaten to become public health crises. He says, when considering the history of public and global health, vaccines could be the most important intervention that has ever been developed for any public health issue. That was the case with the serious disease caused by the West Nile Virus. "West Nile Virus was never in the United States until 1999. It was in the West Nile area of Africa and in the Middle East and it came over to the United States, likely through a mosquito, or a bird, or a person who was infected. And we had a few cases for the first couple of years and then we had an outbreak a couple of years after it arrived and now, it's common at a low level in the United States. It isn't a major public health threat, but it is enough of an issue that we get enough cases each year and that's the reason why we have to have good mosquito control. We tried to make a vaccine, and would have made a vaccine, for West Nile years ago, but we couldn't find a pharmaceutical company that was interested in partnering with us." Today, another virus spread by mosquitoes, the Zika virus, is an issue of concern to the world. Zika outbreaks are currently happening in many countries and territories. The mosquitoes that can spread Zika live in many parts of the world, including parts of the United States. "What people need to understand about Zika is it's important to protect pregnant women. It is likely that Zika was in Africa and in Southeast Asia for decades and decades before we had the first recognized outbreak. In the United States, we have close to 700 already travel-related cases. We've had local outbreaks of dengue (登革热) and chikungunya (基孔肯雅病) in Florida and in Texas and we've been able to successfully contain them. I believe we need to do the same thing, and will do the same thing, with Zika." Fauci will tell you he is a proud workaholic. That means he enjoys working a lot. He works 7 days a week. He says there are many difficult problems in his work. However, just as important as his job, is his health. He is a devoted runner. Fauci has run several marathons and many 10-kilometer races. He also makes sure that, every day, he does something related to exercise. Fauci hopes that one day it will become possible to eliminate controllable infectious diseases. "I want to see the elimination of polio (小儿麻痹症). I want to see HIV no longer be an epidemic, as we know it. I want to see an era of the end of AIDS. I don't think we'll ever be able to completely eliminate infectious disease, that's unreasonable. But we can do a lot more to alleviate the suffering associated with infectious diseases." 58. What did Fauci once experience? A. He has served as five presidents of USA. B. He invented the vaccines against AIDS. C. He was infected by the West Nile Virus. D. He carried out some research on Zika. 59. According to the context, what is the same medium of West Nile Virus and Zika? A. A mosquito B. A bird C. Pregnant women D. Polluted water 60. Which of the following about Zika is WRONG? A. There were local outbreaks of Zika in the USA. B. Zika could be controlled eventually in some way. C. Zika has existed relatively longer out of the USA. D. Less than 700 cases of Zika was found until now. 61. Which word can replace the underlined word “alleviate” in the last paragraph? A. Reproduce B. Relieve C. Reject D. Renew C Only 60 percent of students seeking a bachelor's degree at an American college or university finish their study program within six years. That information comes from the United States Department of Education. It was part of a report released in May. The report talks about full-time students who attended a four-year college or university for the first time in 2008. It states that 60 percent of them completed their degree program by 2014. Experts say there are many reasons why this number is so low. But many schools are looking for ways to increase the graduation rate. For example, every American college or university requires students to identify the main subject, or "major," of their studies. After all their requirements have been met, students receive their degree in that major. Some universities require individuals to declare a major at the beginning of their studies. Other schools let students wait until their second year. Changing majors is also acceptable. But some experts argue against changing majors. They note it may cause students to take more time to complete their degree program. However, a new study suggests that students who change their majors may be more likely to graduate. The Education Advisory Board (EAB) released the report on the study last month. The board studies higher education and tries to help American colleges and universities make improvements. The study was based on information gathered from over 78,000 college students. It looked at the graduation rate of students who changed majors within the first four years of study. On average, their graduation rate was between about four to six percent higher than students who never changed majors. The report also suggests that changing majors within the first three years of study has little to no effect on the average time it takes students to complete their degree. The EAB's senior director Ed Venit wrote the report. He would not comment on whether or not college students should change majors. But he said that about 80 percent of students do change at some point. Venit also said it is not completely clear why changing majors might help students. But he thinks some people become more invested in their studies once they have had time to decide what they truly want to do. "Students who chose a major early on: maybe they didn't have full information about what they wanted to do. Maybe they just picked something that felt familiar ... or their parents pushed them to something, whatever it might be. But maybe they didn't make a full choice early on. ... Those students were only, perhaps ... just kind of attached to their major, versus students who either wait and explore a little bit longer or have declared something, explored further and found something else that they like even better." Venit added that the Department of Education's graduation rate information is not completely correct. It only includes the rates for students studying for the first time -- not for those who have changed schools. These students represent about 40 percent of the university population across the United States. 62. What is the present condition of American university students? A. Most of them can fulfill their degree program on time. B. Too many extracurricular activities take students study time. C. Many undergraduates were forbidden to change majors. D. 60 percent is considered as a low graduation rate. 63. What is the usual way for schools to increase the graduation rate? A. To offer more time for students to make up their lessons. B. To offer students a chance to alter their majors. C. To await students to choose their favorite majors in 2 years. D. To invest more money for the major establishment. 64. What does the report by Ed Venit tell us? A. Too many undergraduates have no interest in first-chosen majors. B. Changing majors can increase graduate rate by over 10 percent. C. Changing majors had better happen in the first two years. D. Students who change majors will definitely have a better future. 65. What is the attitude of Ed Venit to major changing? A. Agreeable B. Opposed C. Neutral D. Sustainable D The birth of each human being begins with a complex process of adaptation to the outside world. To successfully adapt to the outside environment the newborns must make many physiological and behavioral adjustments. They exert an enormous amount of energy establishing stability of different body systems, often in less ideal circumstances. In the past few decades, hospitals have become the accepted environment for childbirth and post birth adjustment. The majority of infants born in Western civilization spend the first one to three days of their lives in the hospital environment. Recently, "rooming-in" or accommodating the mother and her newborn in one room has become popular. Despite this shift away from nursery - focused care, many newborns still spend a considerable portion of their hospital stay in the normal newborn nursery. Karraker explains that this occurs due to "...illness of either the mother or the infant, the mother's need for rest, avoiding infections when the mother receives visitors, and the mother's desire to be relieved of caretaking duties at times". The hospital newborn nursery is designed and operated according to specific regulations or standards. These standards result in environmental conditions of bright, continuous light and a high level of noise. Hilton referenced Kosten and Van Os as stating that the recommended noise level in the hospital setting should be no more than 35 decibels (分贝) during sleep periods and 40 decibels when the client is awake. Keefe described the nursery environment as having a noise level of over 80 decibels for an average of 146.8 minutes per four hour period of observation. Keefe warns that an 80 decibel noise level is comparable to loud traffic noise. She found that the most striking and persistent noise was the sound of other infants crying. The multiple adjustments that the newborn makes are challenging even in a quiet, noticeable environment. The previously described nursery environmental characteristics present additional challenges because newborns undergo profound physiological adjustments and are particularly vulnerable to hazardous environmental conditions. Conditions such as excessive light and sound levels affect not only the infants' physiological processes but also their behavioral states. Recently, professionals studying newborns have focused their attention on newborn behavioral patterns. Thoman, Denenberg & Sievel wrote that "A newborn's state behaviors reflect both its own internal processes and external influences from the environment". Stability of state organization over time appears to be an important characteristic of clinically healthy newborns. In their 1981 study of newborn state organization, Thoman and colleagues observed that the newborns who exhibited irregular or "poorly organized" state patterns all later developed conditions ranging from delayed development, aplastic anemia, and hyperactivity to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Obstetrical (助产) nurses assume a major responsibility for monitoring the childbirth adjustment in both the mother and her newborn. Nursing interventions designed to reduce or mask the impact of harmful stimuli in the nursery environment are desirable. Not only must the environment be beneficial to physiological inner adjustment but "...the pattern of infant state cycles must become harmoniously integrated with the reappearing features of the environment". Few studies have examined the impact of such interventions on newborns in nursery settings. Research in this area is necessary because despite changes in policy related to "rooming - in", newborns continue to spend significant amounts of time in the nursery. 66. What does a newborn need after birth? A. A clean environment B. A stable body system C. A stable adjustment D. A successful adaption 67. According to Karraker, which of the following is RIGHT? A. The mother and her newborn must be accommodated together. B. The short-term hospital environment is enough for the newborn. C. The mother and her newborn should be forbidden to meet visitors. D. The newborn can easily be infected by illnesses from visitors. 68. What is the most harmful noise to the newborn? A. The traffic noise B. The environmental condition C. The infant crying D. The nurses’ voice 69. Which of the following can be the main idea of paragraph five? A. Poor nursery conditions cause harm to newborns. B. Environment mainly influences a newborn's behavior. C. Importance of promoting stable state organization. D. Poor organization develops poor behavioral patterns. 70. What can be inferred from the article? A. Hospitals are most suitable for mothers and infants. B. Rooming-in is now quite popular around the world. C. Current nursery environment is far from satisfactory. D. Nurses should be responsible for infants’ adjustment. 第四部分:任务型阅读(共 10 小题,每小题 1 分,满分 10 分) 请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只写一个单词。 Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic boom, and the capital,Buenos Aires,attracted many people. Farmers and ranchers,called gauchos in Argentina, came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn’t pay well,and many people felt lonely and frustrated with their new life in the city. As the unhappy gauchos and new immigrants mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango evolved. The tango at the beginning was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets of Buenos Aires and at that time there were many fewer women than men,so if a man didn’t want to be left out and wanted to practice the new dance, his only choice was to dance with another man. Groups of men would get together to practice so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. Gradually, the dance came into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became seen as being more respectable. In Europe at this time, intense interest in dance from around the world was beginning. This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. Tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe on board the boats carrying beef from Argentina. They began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in the cabarets and cafes. Not everyone was for the new dance, however. In fact, it raised a few eyebrows among the more conservative members of society, who found the tango was a little too shocking. However, the dance did find enough supporters so that even the tango’s many critics could not put an end to its spreading popularity. In the early 1900s, dance masters in both Paris and London developed more modest versions of the tango to teach to their students. These students then carried the tango into the ballrooms of Europe. Two forms of the tango emerged at this time—the fluid, stylish Paris tango and the stiffer, more conservative British tango. Neither of these tamed tangos carried the raw passion of the original Argentinian tango though. Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought to the tango to North America. However, Rudolf Valentino, who danced the tango in the 1921 film The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, really contributed to the growth and popularity of the tango across America. The tango danced in the ballrooms of the United States closely resembled the stiff, proper British tango. The tango reached Japan in 1926, thanks mainly to one man —Baron Tsunayoshi “Tsunami” Megata. This Japanese nobleman had been living in Europe for 6 years when he returned to Tokyo in 1926. When he returned to Japan, he took with him a handful of tango records and an excellent understanding of the Paris tango. Baron Megata wasted no time in setting up a dance academy in Tokyo in which he could teach his wealthy friends the tango and other popular ballroom dances of Europe. Around 1930, British dance masters began setting up their own dance schools in Kobe, and the British tango soon became the most popular version of the tango danced in Japan. Baron Megata is reported to have said, “Whenever you dance, remember you should feel as though you are in love with your partner, even if you have just met the person.” The popularity of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world, including Asia. In Japan, the 1996 film Shall We Dance? which featured flamenco and tango dancing, led to a dance boom around the country. In 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador to promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.

Frequent chats helped establish our friendship and her inspiring speech set me thinking. Rose’s speech focused on the significance of cherishing dreams. Whoever and whenever we are, chasing a dream will never be out of date and will always motivate us to march forward and achiever even greater successes.
