“Oh, so you are talking to me now ?” he asked .
“I’m so sorry , 49 I had thought that you wanted to end our friendship.” I said .
“What?” he nearly shouted , looking much 50 . “I’ve left you alone because I thought that was what you wanted.”
“Oh, my God ! Why would I want 51 ?” I shouted , completely puzzled .
Clearly , we both had been 52 each other wrong .

Harvard University named historian Drew Gilpin Faust as its first female president on Sunday, ending a lengthy and secretive search to find a successor（接任者）to Lawrence Summers .
The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust, a noted scholar on History of the American South and dean of Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, as the university’s 28th president.
“This is a great day, and a historic day for Harvard,” James R. Houghton, chairman of the presidential search committee, said in a statement. “Drew Faust is an inspiring and accomplished leader, a superb scholar, a dedicated teacher, and a wonderful human being.”
Her selection is noteworthy given the heated debates over Summers’ comments that genetic differences between the sexes might help explain the lack of women in top science jobs.
Faust has been dean of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women’s college was combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues.
Some professors have quietly groused that the 371-year-old university is appointing a fifth president who is not a scientist. No scientist has had the top job since James Bryant Conant retired in 1953; its last four have come from the fields of classics, law, literature and economics.
Faust is the first Harvard president who did not receive a degree from the university since Charles Chauncy, a graduate of Cambridge University, who died in office in 1762. She attended the University of Pennsylvania. “Teaching staff turned to her constantly,” said Sheldon Hackney, a former president of the University of Pennsylvania and historian who worked closely with Faust. “She’s very clear. She has a sense of humor, but she’s very strong-minded. You come to trust in her because she’s so solid.” 【小题1】Which might be the best title for the passage? | A．Harvard named its 1st female president. | | B．History of Harvard University changed. | | C．Debates on female equality ended | | D．Drew Gilpin Faust, a famous woman historian. |
【小题2】Which is NOT true about Drew Gilpin Faust? | A．She is the 28th president of Harvard University. | | B．She is a famous scholar from the American South. | | C．She isn’t a graduate from Harvard University | | D．She was head of Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. |
【小题3】Lawrence Summers held the view that . | A．women cannot achieve as much as men in management | | B．women cannot hold important positions in society | | C．women can match men in science jobs | | D．few women make top scientists owing to genes |
【小题4】The underlined word “groused” in the 6th paragraph means . | A．approved | B．commented | C．complained | D．indicated |
【小题5】This passage probably appears in a . | A．biography | B．personal letter | C．research paper | D．newspaper report |

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36—55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上涂黑。
As a physician who travels quite a lot, I
spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on
board?” announcement. I’ve been 36 only once-for a woman who
had merely fainted. But the 37 made me quite curious
about how 38 this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I
would do if 39 with a real mid-air medical emergency-without
access 40 a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So
41 the New England Journal of Medicine last week 42 a
study about in-flight medical events, I 43 it with
interest.
The study estimated that there are a(n)
44 of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most
of them are not 45 ; fainting and dizziness are the
most frequent complaints. 46 13% of them-roughly four a
day-are serious enough to 47 a pilot to change course. The
most common of the serious emergencies 48 heart trouble,
strokes, and difficult breathing.
Let’s face it: plane rides are 49 .
For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly 50 they
would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can
tolerate these pressures pretty 51 , but passengers
with heart disease 52 experience chest pains as a
result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood.
53 common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis（血栓）-the so-called economy class
syndrome（综合症）.
54 happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight
emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation（立法）, flights with at 55 one
attendant are starting to install emergency medical equipments to treat heart
attacks.
