　 “We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry _45_ I can’t help you,” the doctor said. The doctor’s brother was a _46_ man. He _47_ and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes _48_ up.

　 “Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t _49_ it, so I want to use my money.”

“_50_ do you have?” asked the man from Chicago.

　 “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered. “And it’s all the money I have.”

本文是一篇記敘文，寫的是一個(gè)小女孩用自己的零用錢為兄弟買奇跡的故事，說(shuō)明愛的力量。

36．   B．小女孩所知道的就是她的兄弟生病了，這里是主語(yǔ)從句的連詞，在從句中作knew的賓語(yǔ)

37． D。short for ……的簡(jiǎn)稱，in short總而言之，be short of缺乏，這里是指父母缺錢。

38． A。上文提到需要一個(gè)巨額花費(fèi)的手術(shù)，但他們?nèi)卞X，所以這里應(yīng)是只有“奇跡”才能救得了他,下文也曾提到

39． B。她把所有零錢都倒出來(lái)倒在地板上

40． C。非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞作伴隨狀語(yǔ)，小女孩從后門溜出來(lái)朝藥店而去

42． C。醫(yī)生此時(shí)太忙了，下文他說(shuō)他在跟他的兄弟談話，他們兩兄弟已經(jīng)好幾年沒(méi)見面了，所以沒(méi)空搭理他，語(yǔ)氣中自然就流露出不耐煩

43． A。這里考查定語(yǔ)從句的連詞，好多年都沒(méi)見到他了

Tess was eight years old. Her little brother Andrew was very sick and their parents were completely out of money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother, “Only a miracle can save him now.”
Tess took her money and made her way six blocks to Rexall’s Drug Store.
“And what do you want?” the chemist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen for ages.”
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “He’s really sick. He has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the chemist said, softening a little.
“Listen, I can help you.” The chemist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He asked Tess, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know,” Tess replied. “Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered. “And it’s all the money I have, but I can get some more, if I need to.”
“Well，what a coincidence (巧合),” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents － the exact price of a miracle for your little brother. Take me to where you live. Let’s see if 1 have the kind of miracle you need.”
That man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon in neurosurgery (神經(jīng)外科). The operation was completed without charge and it wasn’t long until Andrew was home again and doing well．

Tom, Eric, Tess and Ann are talking about in what way they would like their schools improved. Read the following descriptions (A, B, C and D) and match them with the four opinions.
【小題1】Tom: I’d like somewhere to sit and read and enjoy myself.
【小題2】Eric: I hope our school can be more comfortable and convenient.
【小題3】Tess: I really prefer to have a place to do some exercise after class.
【小題4】Ann: I think our school should buy more equipment like computers.

               A
What I’d most like to have is a little café, where we students can rest and do some reading. At the moment people have to stand in the passage, or even outside and there’s nowhere to buy a drink or something, or read the paper, so people don’t stay in school for long after the lessons finish. I think it would be completely different if they had somewhere to enjoy themselves.
                B
Our school is big with nice modern buildings and everything, but there is one thing I would really love ---- a gym. We’re right in the middle of a big city and the traffic is very busy, so I find it very difficult to get out to the gym at lunchtime. A gym would be good for the school. If more people went to the gym and did some exercise, they’d probably work better.
              C
Our school is just uncomfortable in every way. For example, the chairs are really uncomfortable, so the next thing I’d like to do is get some comfortable chairs of good quality. Oh, and the worst thing is that we’re on the fifth and sixth floors of our building, so I’d love to have some lifts put in. Just one little lift would make our lives so much easier.
                 D
Our school has a nice building, and is in a nice part of the city. Unfortunately we haven’t got much equipment, so I’d really like to have a computer room with the Internet available. I think students can learn a lot this way. And I’d like to have VCD sub every classroom instead of tapes. VCDs are so much more interesting for learning a language, I think.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下面A-F選項(xiàng)中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該選項(xiàng)涂黑。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

A. The spreading of tea

B. The history of tea growing

C. Changes of tastes for drinks

D. Reducing cancer risks

E. The plant Camellia sinensis

F. A woman’s opinion of tea

1.________________

Americans are far more knowledgeable about drinks than they were 20 years ago. Witness the Starbucks revolution and you’ll know where the trend goes. Now, encouraged by recent studies suggesting that it can cut the risk of cancer and heart disease and slow the aging process, tea is enjoying a similar change. Enough fashionable tea houses are springing up to make even longtime coffee drinkers consider switching drinks.

2.________________

Tea is available in more places than ever. The Tea Association of the United States reports that from 1990 to 1999, annual sales of the drink grew to $4.6 billion from $1.8 billion. “Green tea is seen by consumers as a ‘functional food’” — delivering health benefits beyond food itself, says Vierhile.

3._______________

Recently published studies point out that only teas that come from the leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis have been shown to contain health benefits. Other herbal teas may taste good, yet they do little more than warm up the drinker. But for Camellia sinensis, the evidence is powerful. In a 1998 study, Harvard University researchers found that drinking one cup of black tea a day lowered the risk of heart attack by as much as 44 percent compared with non-tea drinkers, and other studies have suggested that the antioxidants (抗氧化劑) in these so-called real teas can also prevent cancer.

4.________________

One such antioxidant in green tea is ECGC, a compound 20 times as powerful as vitamin E and 200 times as powerful as vitamin C. “When people ask me for something good and cheap they can do to reduce their cancer risk, I tell them to drink real tea,” says Mitchell Gaynor, director of medical oncology at New York City’s Strang-Cornell Cancer Prevention Center.

5.________________

Among those inspired to become a green-tea drinker is Tess Ghilaga, a New York writer who took it up after seeking advice from a nutritionist six years ago. “I’ve never been a coffee drinker,” says Ghilaga, 33. “She told me to start drinking green tea for the antioxidant qualities.” Now Ghilaga and her husband habitually make tea — they order theirs from InPursuitofTea.com, an Internet tea company. And although tea contains about half the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee, “you still get such a kick from it,” says Ghilaga.
