    Conjoined twins lead separate but active lives.
    Lori and Reba have never been alone and they want to keep it that way.
    The 40-year-old conjoined twins in Pennsylvania,US,have read about others locked together by an accident of birth who have been medically separated.But they insist only death can part them.
    “We’ve never imagined a life divided,”Lori said.
    Lori and Reba are joined together at the side of their heads,facing in opposite directions.Their blood supply is partly linked,but each has a separate brain.
    Reba suffers from a disease which has left her completely dependent on her sister.
    Lori wheels her everywhere they go in different professional directions.Lori worked in a laundry room at a hospital for six years before giving that up to allow Reba to try to become a country singer.
    Her first song is called “The Fear of Being Alone”,which was inspired by Reba and Lori’s desire for togetherness.
    Reba’s career has taken her across the United States,Europe and parts of Asia.
    While the twins receive some money from the government,the earning from Reba’s concerts go to AIDS and cancer charities(慈善机构).
    The sisters have set goals for themselves.Reba looks forward to a successful career as a country singer,while Lori says she hopes to get married and have children.Lori said,”So when it comes,it comes.Meanwhile,I live wonderfully from day to day.”

    B.they think their case is beyond medical help
    C.independent life would be too good to think of

    第二卷(三部分，共39分)
    第一节任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
    请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。
    Wondering how many calories the banana cream pie on your plate has? Some Japanese have a novel way to find out: Photograph it with a cellphone and send the image to an expert. With cellphones becoming common in Japan and rising concern over expanding waistlines, health-care providers will allow the calorie-conscious people to send photos of their meals to nutritionists (营养学家) for advice.
    Public health insurance offices in Osaka in Western Japan have launched the service on a trial basis. About 100 cardiac (心脏病的) patients signed up in the first year, followed by diabetes and obesity patients in the second. “Japanese have been getting fatter, especially men in their 20s and 30s. There is concern over what they learned about nutrition when they were younger,” the Osaka official, Satomi Onishi, said. “We’re hoping that this program can help us deal with the problem.”
    Osaka is using a system developed by Asahi Kasei Corp. The system is operating among about 150 health-care providers and local governments around the country Nutritionists can work with photos from one day’s meals to several weeks’ worth. Results come back in three days. People can also log on a website to get further information.
    Dr Yutaka Kimura has developed a similar system at Kansai Medical University’s Hirakata Hospital, also in Osaka. Five patients have taken part in the programme, which costs $37 to join and $21 per month. Patients photograph meals over the course of three to seven days, and a nutritionist e-mails advice to them. “Patients used to fill in meal logs, but people tend to forget things or underestimate (低估) their portions (份),” Kimura said. “Photographing meals and e-mailing them can be easier and get more accurate results.”
    As Japanese have turned to bigger portions and more meat and fried foods, obesity and related illnesses such as high blood pressure have become a rising concern. The Health Ministry estimated last year that more than half of Japanese men and about one in five women between 40 and 70 years old were at the increased risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and other diseases because of obesity. With the Health Ministry hoping to see a 25% reduction in the number of people at the risk of these diseases by 2015, Osaka officials hope the cellphone program will help.

    第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
    第一节       （共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A
    My sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other．Or, to be honest, she couldn’t stand me．I took her as a hero．My clothes mysteriously looked like hers, and even my words tended to copy those I heard from her．Any sort of talk we had usually became a fighting, and try as I might, my sister had an extra six years worth of rude vocabulary．
    After a while, I stopped trying to impress her and learned to be totally indifferent（冷漠的）；we soon fell into a sad pattern — I avoided her, she paid no attention to me, and deep inside, it hurt．She was only a sister in name．I truly believed that we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth．
    I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike．I had received the bike that Christmas, which was great, until I realized I had no idea how to ride it．My mom had long since abandoned any attempt to teach me; I had proved to be a frustrating student．I had to learn by myself, a little bit each day, but unsuccessfully．On that day I was so disappointed that I threw my bike aside and began to cry, I guess that was what caused my sister to come outside．At first I was nervous, as I thought she would begin to laugh at me．She did not．She gently picked my bike up．That was the beginning．She fearlessly held my hand while the tears dried on my cheeks．She never once let me fall．And for three hours — three wonderful hours — we learned to ride my bike．No shouting．No fighting．No arguing．
    That day I learned that my sister was human — how else could she have been my teacher? It was a life-changing experience．We still occasionally have our quarrels, but since that day, it’s been easier to get along because we have an unspoken respect for each other．
    56．From the first paragraph, we can infer that _____．
    A．the writer’s sister usually won the fighting
    B．the writer was not always honest with her sister
    C．the writer showed little respect for her sister
    D．the writer’s sister had a good memory
    57．When the writer failed to impress her sister, she _____．
    A．felt hurt and treated her sister as a stranger
    B．decided to be indifferent to her sister
    C．didn’t talk with any member of the family
    D．kept apart from her sister for a long time
    58．What caused the writer to cry when she learned to ride a bike?
    A．She fell off the bike and hurt herself seriously．
    B．Her mother refused to buy her a bike．
    C．She couldn’t learn how to ride a bike by herself．
    D．Her sister laughed at her old bike．

    第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
    阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
    A
    One stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the rain, they came to the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night.
    “Could you possibly give us a room here?” the husband asked.
    The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town.“All of our rooms are taken,” the clerk said.“But I can’t send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one o’clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It’s not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night.”
    When the couple declined, the young man pressed on.“Don’t worry about me; I’ll make out just fine.” the clerk told them. So the couple agreed.
    As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk,“You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe someday I’ll build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isn’t easy.
    Two years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old man. It recalled that stormy night and enclosed a round—trip ticket to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit.
    The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th street. He then pointed to a great new building there, a pale reddish stone, with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky.“That,” said the older man,“is the hotel I have just built for you to manage.”“You must be joking,” the young man said.“I can assure you I am not,” said the older man, a sly smile playing around his mouth.
    The older man’s name was William Waldorf Astor, and that magnificent structure was the original Waldorf—Astoria Hotel. The young clerk who became its first manager was George C.Boldt. This young clerk never foresaw the turn of events that would lead him to become the manager of one of the world’s most glamorous hotels.
    51.The purpose of the author writing this story is to_______.
    A.give people a good laugh                         B.cover some facts
    C.promote the business of Waldorf—Astoria Hotel       D.deliver a lesson
    52.Which of the statements about the story is NOT true?
    A.The story took place at about one a.m..
    B.The old couple was too poor to afford a luxurious room.
    C.The clerk was willing to help those in need.
    D.The clerk received an unexpected invitation from the old man.
    53.The underlined word “conventions” in Para.3 can be replaced by_______?
    A.rooms       B.suites            C.meetings         D.hotels
    54.Which of the following proverbs suits the story the best?
    A.Every little thing helps.                                           B.Make hay while the sun shines.
    C.Man proposes； God disposes(处理,决定).                   D.One good turn deserves another.

    B
    By now there were several people standing around me, my mom, and the little broken bush(灌木丛).
    “Son, would you like me to call an ambulance?” some men said.
    “No,” my mom yelled. “I’m fine. Please go away!”
    “She’s learning to ride,” I tried to explain to all those who were not going to go away.
    “Oh, all right!” My mom sat up and brushed the grass and leaves off her sweater. Finally she stood up. Everyone began to clap(鼓掌), and my mom’s face turned bright pink.
    “Thank you very much, but as you can see, I’m just fine.” Mom took a few steps around to show them that she wasn’t hiding a broken leg. Everyone clapped again and then went on their way.
    “Enough for today?” I asked hopefully.
    “No,” she said in a way that surprised me. “I almost had it, and then I let myself get scared. I know I can do it this time!” Now this sounded more like my mom, for I’d never known my mom to be afraid of anything before. I helped her pull the bike out of the bush and push it up the hill.
    She didn’t look quite so pale this time. She got on the bike again and went down the hill. I ran down the hill after her. She had ridden quite a way ahead of me when she looked back over her shoulder, smiling. Then she gave me a thumbs-up(翘拇指) sign.
    “No, no!” I yelled. “Use both hands!”
    But it was too late. Again.
    “Mom! Are you hurt?” I ran up to her in the grass.
    This time she was laughing. “Did you see me? I did it! I really did it!” Then she stopped and looked at me. “I mean,” she said, “we did it.”
    60. From the passage we can learn that the author ____.
    A. was helping his mother learn to ride a bike
