    Arthur Miller was born in New York City in 1915. He died in 2005 at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut. For sixty years, he created one dramatic work after another. Miller won many awards for his plays. Among them were a Pulitzer Prize, New York Drama Critics’ Circle Prizes and Tony Awards. In 1984, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. honored him for his lifetime work in drama.
    Arthur Miller grew up in New York. His father, Isidore Miller, made clothing and operated a store. But the father lost his money in the great economic depression in the 1930s. So Arthur worked at many jobs to earn money for college. Miller won an award for writing plays while at school.
    Miller returned home to New York after completing his studies. In 1944, Arthur Miller’s first major play was performed on Broadway. It was called The Man Who Had All the Luck. However, the play did not bring him good luck. It had only four performances. But his second Broadway play, All My Sons, was a major success. It won several awards in 1947.
    Miller ‘s great play, Death of a Salesman, opened on Broadway in 1949. He was thirty-three years old when he wrote it. The play tells the story of the failure of a salesman, Willy Loman. The action opens on the last day of Willy’s life. He has been dismissed from his jobs as a traveling salesman. He also recognizes that he has failed as a father. He kills himself before the play is over. Death of a Salesman had a big influence on the American public. Many people saw their own lives in Willy Loman, the victim of broken dreams. It has been translated into about thirty languages and performed around the world.
    Arthur Miller once wrote that when he was young he imagined that with the possible exception of a doctor saving a life, “Writing a worthy play was the most important thing a human being could do.” Theater owners on Broadway agreed. On the day after he died, the lights of Broadway theatres darkened for a minute in honor of him.

    阅读下面短文，根据第53至第55小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。
    BEIJING, May 5(Xinhua) —The number of Chinese children infected with hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) continues to rise, with reported cases reaching 9,251 by Monday.
    The latest HFMD infections occurred in the southwestern Chongqing Municipality which reported 42 sporadic(零星的) cases since Thursday.
    "No fatal or critical cases have been reported in Chongqing so far," said Liu Kejia, vice director of Chongqing Health Bureau. "The disease prevention and control center has sampled some cases and no enterovirus 71 has been confirmed."
    Beijing has recorded at least 1,482 cases of the disease in all the 18 districts in the city until Monday, of which 818 were reported in kindergartens. The neighboring Hebei Province reported 206 cases on Monday.
    Altogether 25 children have died of the disease. Tests have confirmed 24 of the deaths were triggered by the virus known as enterovirus 71 or EV71.
    According to the Guidelines Regarding Prevention and Control of HFMD published on the Ministry of Health website, HFMD can be caused by a host of intestinal(肠的) viruses, but EV71 and the Coxsackievirus (Cox A 16) were the most common.
    Anhui Province, in east China, and Guangdong Province, south China were the worst hit areas. Twenty-two of the deaths occurred in Fuyang, a city in northwestern Anhui, and the rest in Guangdong.
    Outbreaks have also occurred in Jiangsu, Hunan, Hubei provinces, according to statistics released by local health departments.
    In Anhui alone, 622 new cases were reported on Saturday, including 362 in Fuyang, driving up the number of children with HFMD to 5,151 in Anhui.
    Guangdong registered 925 cases as of Sunday.
    Both EV71 and Cox A16 can cause HFMD, which usually starts with a slight fever followed by blisters and ulcers(溃疡) in the mouth and rashes(皮疹) on the hands and feet.
    Those sickened by EV71 often show serious symptoms. It can also lead to meningitis, encephalitis, pulmonary edema and paralysis in some children. There is no vaccine.
    The Health Ministry issued a circular(通告) late last month requiring better management and surveillance of the disease, as it expects more cases in the next few months.
    The ministry asked hospitals for daily reports on the disease, and for local health departments to report emergencies promptly and increase investment in research into the disease.
    53. How many deaths occurred in Guangdong Province according to the passage?
    54. Which place was seriously infected as it is reported?
    55. Why are children so easily infected?

     任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
    阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
    You may admire both the romantic love story and the mysterious city of Rome in the movie Roman Holiday. If you are planning to visit Rome, here are some cultural dos and don’ts you should know.
    Coffee Etiquette: Italian breakfast consists of pastry and a cup of Cappuccino or shot of espresso. If eaten outside of home, breakfast is always consumed standing up at the local bar. An espresso is not sipped; it is downed in one gulp. Cappuccino is generally a morning drink and is not drunk after noon by real Italians. A post-dinner espresso, however, is common practice.
    Dinner Rules: It is expected for guests to arrive for dinner reservations at least fifteen minutes late. In many restaurants, printed menus are for tourists. Regular patrons know to ask for the daily specials, which typically feature the freshest ingredients. Bread, when served, is rarely accompanied by butter or olive oil.
    Drink the Water: Rome has plenty of public water fountains, and real Romans (and their dogs) always drink directly from them. Many people also refill their water bottle from these fountains.
    Mind the Traffic: Unless there's a traffic light, or you are in a crosswalk, don't expect cars to stop for you. Though crosswalks go first, in a car – crazy city, still you’d better keep cautious and walk cautiously.
    Money: Always have some euros with you. Most major hotels, restaurants, and shops take credit cards, but many smaller operations either will either be unwilling to accept them for smaller purchases or do not accept credit cards at all. ATMs are available around the city and at the airports.
    About Soccer: Most Italian men are passionate about their soccer. Arm yourself with some knowledge of Italy's soccer scene, and you will find ready conversation partners almost everywhere.
    The Romans: The people here love to share their thoughts, opinions and emotions. They are creative, passionate, playful, occasionally rude or vain but always entertaining, and almost always good – humored.

    Dear son,
    The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.

When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   39   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   40  , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   41 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   42   little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you   43  to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   44   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   45   to me.

And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   50   any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
    Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,  51   my mistakes, I always wanted the   52   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me   53   you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   54   living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   55 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.

    A．The effects of flu and its symptoms
    B．Types of virus to cause flu
    C．People’s attitudes toward flu
    D．The cause of flu
    E．The way that flu spreads
    F．The methods to fight flu
     
    61.
    Flu (which is short for influenza) is a highly infectious disease，the cause of which is a very tiny organism known as a virus．Several types of flu are recognized，depending on the type of virus that causes the disease．
     
     
    62．
    Flu Can often cause problems in breathing，and general infection of the lung．With elderly and weak people，these added complications often produce serious results．The virus, if not properly treated, can weaken the body so that patient may develop more serious illnesses，such as pneumonia and bronchitis．When people catch flu，they often complain of a headache or a sore throat．They usually have a fever and their temperature rises from the normal 37℃ (98.6℉) to about 39.5℃ (103℉)．Sometimes a person has a dry hacking cough and aching joints．
     
     
    63．
    Today many doctors use drugs that fight the disease．And scientists have also developed vaccines that help to prevent it．If the patient has proper treatment，and complete rest in bed，the virus is normally beaten within a week to ten days．
     
     
    64．
    How does flu spread so quickly? When the infected person breathes out．sneezes or coughs，he gives out droplets of moisture in the breath from his mouth or nose．These remain in the air for some time．Flu viruses are present in these droplets．If a person sneezes in a crowd or poorly ventilated place，such as a lift，viruses can easily be carried from all infected person to a healthy person．This is known as droplet infection．The healthy person will breathe in the viruses given out by the infected person．
     
     
    65．
    There are three main types of virus that cause flu，which are called type A, B and C. Type A is the most powerful of the three，and undergoes minor changes in its genetic material every few years．The new form of the virus is called a strain．The new strain is not affected by the current vaccines. It is said to be“resistant”to them．So doctors must be continually producing new vaccines to combat the new strains of virus．

    “G-h-a-g-r-a G-e-e-t-a B-a-l-i. There she is，”she replied while pointing to her daughter. The crowd standing around also turned to stare. All Ghagra Geeta Bali wanted then was for the earth to open up and swallow her.
