Hed returned to the hospital where hed worked for 40 years. It was the hospital where all his children had been born. The doctors said that h
18、e may have a long period of confusion after the surgeries. And because hes eighty-six, it may be many months before he returns to normal. Its also possible he may never be “normal” again.I sat there in this hospital room, spoon-feeding the man Ive seen as powerful and capable all my life. It felt li
19、ke the full circle of life had come around us. It felt good to support him, yet part of me wanted to tell him to “be normal” again. I wasnt sure if I was ready to accept the full meaning of it: that my father may never be that powerful and capable person again.Pain and suffering have visited my fami
20、ly, as it will visit all families. And while we hesitate to face pain and suffering, it has great lessons to teach us. - 6 -Pain and suffering are well outside of the boundaries of our everyday life. When it comes, it breaks these boundaries and turns our world upside down. We become a family with a
21、ll of the others who have known pain and suffering. And we have another chance to consider whats truly important in our lives. This crisis will pass, and well all be changed by it. The healing hands of time will do their work. Im thankful that Ive told my father everything Ive wanted to say to him.

We will not eventually be defeated by pain and suffering.- 7 -CThe Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans has added an unconventional course to its curriculum. Medical students can
26、 now take cooking classes in addition to their usual training. This is intended to improve doctors nutritional knowledge and encourage them to use food to prevent or cure illnesses. According to a survey, most medical students in the US receive on average 20 hours of nutritional education throughout
27、 their entire education. This is an extremely low number, especially when one considers that diet is at the core(核心)of many modern Western diseases. From Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, reflux to obesity, allergies, depression and arthritis, eating the right foods can go a long way towards recovery,
28、 while significantly reducing dependency on medicinal drugs.A big part of the problem is that nutritional guidelines in North America are vague, impractical, and difficult to apply. Everyone, from doctors to schoolchildren, learns about specific nutrients and percentages of recommended daily intakes
29、, but that doesnt translate easily to the grocery store. Training doctors to cook, however, takes nutritional education to a whole new level. Not only will doctors be able to explain which foods are best to eat, but they will also understand how to prepare them. Tulane medical students prepare for t
30、eaching future patients by offering free cooking classes to New Orleans residentsa mutually beneficial arrangement for everyone who shares that food. Fortunately, the model seems to be catching on. Already two other medical schools have licensed the curriculum and are adding it to their courses. Tul
31、ane also offers nutritional training for healthfocused chefs from a nearby cooking school, which makes a lot of sense. After all, with the frequency with which North Americans eat out, we could all benefit from chefs who know how to balance nutrition with great taste. 28. What does the author want t
32、o tell us by listing the diseases in Paragraph 2?- 8 -A. Proper diets help treat them B. Proper diets can replace drugs C. They are difficult to treat D. They are typical western diseases29. Whats the authors attitude towards the present nutritional guidelines in America?A. Amazed B. Stubborn C. Dis
33、satisfied D. Interested30. What can we know about the course from the last paragraph?A. It will benefit chefs B. It is becoming popularC. It has a long way to go D. It encourages eating out 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Take a Cooking Course B. Learn to Be a Good D
34、octor C. Live Your Life to the Full D. Let Food Be Your MedicineDDo you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently its because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply, the ex
35、istence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only
36、 appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the area which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel
37、. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror - 9 -neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this
38、example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries
39、might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact. Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent for neuroscience of what Einsteins theory of relativity was for physics. And the next ti
40、me you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does-well, perhaps youll understand why.32. Mirror neurons can explain .A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we suffer from a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up
41、late33. The underlined word “triggered” in the third paragraph probably means “ ”.A. set off B. cut off C. built up D. broken up34. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons .A. relate to human behavior and interactionB. control human physical actions and feelingsC. result in bad behavior an
42、d social disordersD. determine our knowledge and language abilities35. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ways to find mirror neurons. B. Problems of mirror neurons.C. Existence of mirror neurons. D. Functions of mirror neurons.第二节（共 5 小题：每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。- 1

47、y unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions, others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals. 4
