         Jim suffered heart problems.In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was
    drawing to a close.
         When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was
    expected.Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly.Jim was rushed back to operation,
    but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness.He died on the operating table on the day before
    his 48th birthday.
         Dr.Bruce Smoller, a psychologist, had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the
    stranger he realized Jim's case was.When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack
    and stayed home to recover.One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework, promising to
    come home from school at noon to pick it up.His father agreed, but when Jim returned his father had
    died.Jim's father was 48.
          "I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father, " Dr.Smoller says."He felt that if he had not asked
    him to look at his homework, his father would have lived.Jim had been troubled by the idea.The operation was the trial he had expected for forty years." Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to the age of 48.
         Jim's case shows the powerful role that attitude plays in physical health, and that childhood experiences produce farreaching effect on the health of grownups.Although most cases are less direct than Jim's, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness.

    第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A
    As Christmas approaches, towns and cities around the UK are preparing for a very British celebration．
    The switching on of a town' s Christmas lights has become an increasingly competitive event over the years, with some councils （会议） spending lots of money to attract A-list famous persons to do the honors．
    The American singer Mariah Carey flew to London in November to switch on the lights at one of the city's biggest shopping centers, while Jim Carrey lighted Oxford Street and promoted his new film at the same time．
    Traffic in the historic English city of Bath was brought to a halt as thousands of fans crowded to see the Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage conducted the switching-on ceremony．
    Some celebrations do not go according to the plan, as was seen in Birmingham when dozens of people were injured as the famous British boy band JLS took the stage．
    Not all towns can afford to bring in an internationally-known star, so many switchon ceremonies are handled by ex-TV talent show competitors．
    Pantomime （圣诞童话剧） stars are also much in demand at this time of year, as they aim to promote their Christmas shows．
    But if your council hasn't got the budget to bring in a famous face, what are the cheaper alternatives?
    A town in the west of England chose to let the public decide by giving their suggestions online．The result: a 21-year-old DIY store worker was given the honor．
    "I was amazed and delighted to be asked," said Scott Parker, "it's just a special gift and not something I'd, ever thought about before．"
    56．According to the passage, what kind of special celebration can you see at Christmas in UK?
    A．People meeting their favorite stars and getting special gifts．
    B．Well-known persons invited to make a performance in public．
    C．A-list persons lighting Oxford Street and promoting their films．
    D．Switching-on ceremonies that are conducted by honored persons．
    57．The underlined word "halt" in Paragraph 4 probably means "______" ．
    A．start  B．stop              C．ban       D．run
    58．Which of the followings can be learned from the passage?
    A．Mariah Carey is invited to Bath to switch on the lights．
    B．Pantomime stars rarely appear at events like this．
    C．Not all those who switch on the Christmas lights can make lots of money．
    D．Average persons can not get a chance to switch on the Christmas lights．
    59．The following are famous persons EXCEPT _____．
    A．Scott Parker      B．Mariah Carey         C．Nicolas Cage       D．Jim Carrey

    第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题；第二节共5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

    第一节：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。

             When I was an education official in Palo Alto, California．Polly Tyner, the president of our school board, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times．Polly’s son, Jim, had great difficulty in school．He was classified as educationally disabled and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers．But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room．His parents acknowledged his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride．Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident．After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper．

             Today we buried our 20-year-old son．He was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on Friday night．How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be the last time．If I had only known I would have said, “Jim, I love you and I’m very proud of you．”

             I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him．I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his genuine love of people．

             When you put all the good qualities on the scale and try to balance all the irritating phenomena such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc．, your angry feelings won’t amount to much．

             I won’t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you do have a chance．Tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you knew it would be your last conversation．The last time I talked to Jim was the day he died．He called me to say, “Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you．Got to go to work．Bye．” He gave me something to treasure forever．

             If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people, especially family members, take the time to let each other know just how much we care．

    1．According to the passage, we know that ____．

             A．Jim kept to himself    B．Jim did very well in his studies

             C．Jim’s parents were patient with him         D．Jim failed to finish his high school

    2．The underlined word “irritating” in Paragraph 4 means ____．

             A．annoying             B．aggressive       C．impatient            D．thrilling

    3．By writing the letter printed in the Palo Alto Times, the author intends to ____．

             A．mourn her son’s sudden death in a traffic accident

             B．remind people to be cautious of motorcycles

             C．advise people to take the chance to express their love in time

             D．appreciate more of life than ever before

    4．What can be the best title of the passage?

             A．Love Your Family．    B．Do It Today．

             C．Walk with Pride．         D．Appreciate Smiles．
