He was a doer, a seeker of facts. His mature years were spent in communicating

2、 to people he was an opener of minds, a bright pair of eyes on what went on about him. Fortunately, he went to many places, knew many people, saw many things; thus he communicated from depth and involvement. Suspicious of dogma, he stated in his autobiography, “What interested me was chiefly people,

3、 all kinds of people, and what they thought and said and how they lived rather than official, and what they said in their interviews and handouts about what the people thought and said.” In writing about people and the events which shaped or misshaped their lives, his point of view was essentially h

4、onest and searching founded on his own inquiry and resting on a body of truth perceived with vision and with compassion. His valued friend and editor, Mary Heathcoat, stated that to Edgar Snow, “True professionalism meant telling the truth as one saw it, with as many of the reasons for its existence

5、 as one could find out and as much empathy as possible for the people experiencing it.” “Edgar Snow,” she added, “was a respecter of all persons, and he knew the world had billions of important people in it.”That he is remembered mostly through Red Star Over China is understandable. The accounts in

6、that book were of international importance and the experience for the author in getting those accounts was perhaps the most significant one in his life. Though it is typical of him that, after the acclaim the book received, he commented, “I simply wrote down what I was told by the extraordinary youn

7、g men and women with whom it was my privilege to live at age thirty, and from whom I learned a great deal.” That “great deal” spread from the pages of Red Star to alter the thinking of countless people including many citizens of China who were led by it to action that drastically affected their own

8、lives and the course of their countrys future. An awesome realization of personal responsibility also came about at this point for the young journalist, one he was cognizant of the rest of his life the discovery, as he heard of friends and students killed in a war they had been moved to join largely

9、 because of his reports, that his writing had taken on the nature of political action and that he, as a writer, had to be personally answerable for all he wrote.1. Which of the following is NOT true about Edgar Snow?A He respects grass roots.B He is interested in officials words.C He fulfills the tr

10、ue professionalism.D He values fact and his honest searching.2. Edgar Snows books were all written withA his ignorance of the circumstances around him.B his prejudice towards the people he was not familiar with.C his deep involvement and understanding of the people around him.D his own experience in

11、 making himself a well-known man of the world.3. Why is Edgar Snow remembered mostly through Red Star Over China？ A It is written in Chinese.B It is the only book that tells about China.C The wording of this book is extraordinary.D It has an important influence over the international world.4. Red St

12、ar Over China is all of the following EXCEPTA fulfilling Snows political stand.B inspiring Chinese youth to take action.C motivating Snows personal responsibility.D reflecting his characteristics and professionalism.Text BAnna liked the look of the house as soon as she saw it. Jack knew that before

13、she said anything. The plain white walls, the black window frames and door the good taste of that combination had always pleased her.“Its a nice family house,” she said, “one can see its been well lived in.”Fifty-seven Eden Square was a tall narrow house of three storeys in the middle of a row facin

14、g a small park. It was in what a house agent would call a popular rather than a fashionable area. The little front gate was open, broken. They went in and up a few stone steps to the front door. They could see in through one of the sitting-room windows from which a net curtain had fallen at one side

15、. The large room was almost bare. A dirty green carpet half covered the floor. From an old brick fireplace a gas-fire had been pulled out into the room. The wallpaper was dark green, dirty and damp-looking. There was no furniture. Silently they stared in. Then Jack tried the front door. It was locke

16、d.“Its been empty a long while,” he said, “all last winter at least. Is it worth going to the agent to get the keys? Wed have to do an awful lot of cleaning up.”“Any empty house up for sale needs cleaning.” said Anna, “Thats part of the fun of buying. You can make it look so different. This place wi

17、ll be a lot better when cleaned up. How much do you think itll cost?”“Well, its about eighty years old, and modernized probably.” He stepped back and looked up. “It should have three or four large bed-rooms, as large as I think bedrooms ought to be, and one or two small ones. That is, if it wasnt us

18、ed as a guesthouse in the days before people started going to Spain for their holidays, I think it would cost about fifteen thousand. It depends on how modern it is inside. Well get the keys and have a look, shall we?”They did so the following afternoon. In an earlier time, the spacious house had ha

19、d large, airy bedrooms. All four of these were now divided up by wooden walls and ugly passages. Each big window looking on to the park was shared by two or even three rooms. There were in all eighteen tiny bedrooms, each with a tiny wash-basin and water: sleeping space for thirty or so holiday-make

20、rs.“Little cages,” Anna said. She did not like the place at all.5. How did Anna react at the first sight of the house?A She thought the house was in poor condition.B She admired the way it was painted.C She told Jack it was very expensive.D She said there was a nice family living in it.6. Where was

21、the house located according to the house agent?A In a well-liked area. B In a very fashionable area.C In Fifty-seven Eden SquareD In the middle of a small park.7. What were Anna and Jack doing?A Looking for a place in which they could spend their holiday.B Looking for a house agent to sell a house.C

22、 Trying to find a guesthouse or a small hotel.D Trying to find a suitable family house to buy.8. Whats NOT true about the condition of the house according to the passage?A It had four large bedrooms before it was used as a guesthouse.B It was old but somewhat modernized.C It was where fashionable pe

23、ople preferred to live.D It was almost like a cage when the two people visited it.9. Anna did not like the house because A it was not her ideal family home.B it was too expensive.C it was really a place for keeping animals in.D it needed too much cleaning.Text CThis book is written expressly for stu

24、dents in an attempt to present the material that is most useful and interesting to them. Previous courses in chemistry are not necessary for the understanding of the material, although those students who have had high school chemistry will find that a review of the inorganic section will better enab

25、le them to master the organic and biochemistry sections that follow.The author has felt that in the past there was an improper selection of material from inorganic, organic, and biochemistry in the majority of the textbooks of chemistry for nurses. The tendency has been to develop the inorganic chem

26、istry to such an extent that organic and biochemistry is covered too briefly. The recent advances in biochemistry and their widespread application to the practice of medicine and nursing have considerably altered the situation. Not only is biochemistry more closely allied to the practical chemistry

27、of medicine and nursing but it is also of more interest to the student. In the authors experience the response to biochemistry has always been more favorable than to the other sections. Within the brief period allotted to chemistry, therefore, the sections on inorganic, organic, and biochemistry sho

28、uld be so arranged that a good share of the time is spent in the study of biochemistry. This book presents mainly those fundamentals of inorganic and organic chemistry that are necessary for the understanding of the section on biochemistry.The fundamental points suggested in the Curriculum Guide are

29、 included in the book, with some additions in the biochemistry section. The author feels that a study of urine, vitamins, nutrition, and hormones is so obviously a part of biochemistry that at least the fundamentals should be included in this course.The book has been planned in such a way that it ma

30、y be adapted to various courses in chemistry. The material suggested by the Curriculum Guide is covered in the first nineteen chapters and may be used in accelerated courses or where minimum time is allotted to chemistry. When the time allotted to the course is sixty to ninety hours the entire conte

31、nts of the book may be used to advantage. While the book has been written especially to fit the needs of Schools of Nursing, it could readily be applied in instances where students are required to take but one course in chemistry.The apathetic attitude of nonprofessional students toward a course in

32、inorganic chemistry may well be overcome by the proper presentation of material selected from inorganic, organic, and biochemistry.10. Which of the following is TRUE about reading the book?A One must first review his high school courses.B Previous courses in chemistry are necessary.C A good mastery

33、of biochemistry is essential.D One neednt have studied chemistry before.11. In the authors experience, the students are most interested in A chemistry as a whole. B biochemistry.C inorganic chemistry. D organic chemistry.12. Para. 4 suggests that one characteristic of this book is its A vividness of

34、 the language. B simplicity in presentation.C adaptability to various needs. D complexity of the plot.13. The authors attitude towards this book is A doubtful. B critical.C apathetic. D approving.14. The purpose of this book isA to provide students with useful and interesting material.B to preface t

35、he Curriculum Guide with a brief account of biochemistry.C to present inorganic and organic chemistry in detail.D to raise nonprofessional students interest in chemistry.Text DBuried for nearly 3600 years, a rare statue of Egypts King Neferhotep have been brought to light in the ruins of Thebes by a

36、 team of French archaeologists. Officials said that the statue was unusual in that the King is depicted holding hands with a double of himself, although the second part of the carving remains under the sand and its form has been determined by the use of imaging equipment.Archaeologists unearthed the

37、 1.8 meters tall statue, as they were carrying out repairs around Karnak Temple in the southern city of Luxor. Francois Larche, one of the team that found the limestone statue of the King, whose name means “beautiful and good”, said it was lying about 1.6 meters below the earth near an obelisk of Qu

38、een Hatshepsut, the only woman to have reigned as a pharaoh in Egypt, ruling from 15041484 B.C. Karnak, now in the heart of Luxor, was built on the ruins of Thebes, the capital of ancient Egypt. The huge temple dedicated to the god Amon lies in the heart of a vast complex of religious buildings in t

39、he city, 700 kilometers south of Cairo. The statue shows the King wearing a funeral mask and royal head cloth, said Larche. The forehead bears a symbol of a cobra, which ancient Egyptians used as a symbol on the crown of the pharaohs. They believed that the cobra would spit fire at approaching enemi

40、es. Larche said this was only the second time such a huge statue had been found in Egypt. A similar one was dug up during the digging of the hidden treasures of Karnak from 1898 to 1904.But it is not clear when or if the statue will be completely unearthed. It is blocked by the leftovers of an ancie

41、nt structure, possibly a gate. “In order to pull it out, a structure on top of the statue has to be removed and then restored,” said Larche, adding that permission from the Egyptian antiquities authorities was needed before the team could go ahead with the plan to raise the statue.Neferhotep was the

42、 22nd King of the 13th Dynasty. The son of a temple priest, he ruled Egypt from 16961686 B.C. Experts believe his fathers position helped him to ascend the throne, as there was no royal blood in his family. Its up to the Higher Council of Egyptian Antiquities to decide on the fate of the Statue of N

43、eferhotep and whether it will be brought to light or left buried where it was founded.To some degree, it will be a wonder if the Statue which has been buried in the underground for nearly 3600 years is brought to light again. The Higher Egyptian Council will take all the factors into consideration b

44、efore they make the final decision. After all, this discovery will draw the attention of the archaeologists at least from the Egypt even all over the world who are interested in the history of Egypt.15. Why did officials think the statue discovered by the archaeologists is unique?A It has been burie

45、d in the earth for nearly 3600 years.B The figure of the statue was the only female pharaoh who ruled Egypt.C Part of the statue remains in the sand.D There is another similar statue with the statue of Neferhotep.16. The archaeological team found the statue wears the following articles EXCEPTA a fun

46、eral mask.B royal head cloth.C a crown of the pharaoh.D a symbol of a cobra.17. Why is it not sure when or if the statue will be entirely dug out? A It was lying about 1.6 meters below the earth.B It was blocked by the remains of an ancient structure.C Permission from the Egyptian antiquities author

47、ities was needed.D Bringing the statue to light again will be a wonder.18. The team of French archaeologists attitude towards this statue isA positive. B negative.C cautious. D indifferent.19. Which of the following is correct?A Whether this statue is brought to the light or not needs further discus

48、sion.B Karnak Temple needs to be removed if the statue wants to be completely dug up. C The archaeologists can decide the destiny of the statue.D The archaeologists have little interest in this discovery.20. What does this passage mainly talk about?A The statue of Neferhotepbrought to light.B The st
