BSam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School but poetry is still a big part of his life, now with a new teacher, Rafael Campo, who believes poetry can benefit every doctor's education and work. Rafael is a physician, professor and a highly respected poet.“Poetry is in every encounter with my patients. I think healing is really in a very great way about poetry. And if we do anything when we're with our patients, we're really immersing ourselves in their stories, really hearing their voices. And, certainly, that's what a poem does,” he said.Rafael worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education today: humanity, which he finds in poetry. To end that, he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents.He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients, and poems can help close that gap.Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars. She said, “I think there's no other profession other than medicine that produces as many poets as it does. And I think that is because there's just so much power in doctors and patients interacting when patients are at their saddest.” Not everyone believes that's what doctors should do, though.Rafael said, “I was afraid of how people might judge me, actually. In the medical profession, as many people know, we must always put the emergency first. But, you know, that kind of treatment, if it's happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outcome. The family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasn't survived the cancer. Don't we still have a role as healers there?”In a poem titled “Health”, Rafael writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless by our incurable joy. He says he will continue teaching students, helping patients and writing poems, his own brand of medicine.4. Which of the following is true about Rafael Campo?A. He is a doctor.B. He benefits from education.C. He is a professional poet.D. He isnt keen on poetry.5. What do Rafaels words in the second Paragraph show?A. Medical training is significant.B. Poetry has no effects on medical treatment.C. Poetry is similar to medical work in a sense.D. Patients are closely linked to doctors.6. Which statement will Andrea Schwartz agree with concerning poetry?A. It relieves patients' family members.B. It contributes to medical work a lot.C. It has nothing to do with patients.D. It prevents doctors understanding patients.7. What will Rafael Campo do to achieve his wish?A. Assist the students in medical schools.B. Teach those patients in the hospital.C. Write poems for his medical students.D. Stick to his unique way in the medical field.COf all the problems that people face today, depression proves to be one of the hardest to pinpoint. People often suffer secretly, not wanting to admit their need of professional help. They continue with their normal routines and, many times, unhealthy eating habits. Now, health professionals are actually linking diet and depression and have found success in using diet to treat the disorder.Several researchers and Australian institutions at Deakin University in Victoria, Australia, set out to evaluate the direct link between diet and depression. They carried out the study over a 12-week period and observed 67 patients with moderate to severe depression. For their control group, the patients received social support rather than switching their eating habits to a well-balanced diet. The other patients then received dietary counseling sessions where they were advised to eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and lean meats. After the trial period, over 30 percent of the patients had gone into remission with their depression. Only 8 percent of the control group actually experienced this same improvement. This trial has greatly helped researchers understand and better help patients suffering from depression.Most Americans today do not associate their diet and depression together. Nearly 60 percent of Americans eat over processed foods. 90 percent of added sugar comes from these processed foods. For people with depression, this diet might give a short energy burst, but it will eventually cause energy to sink, bringing happy moods down with it. Many people also love caffeine, drinking multiple cups each day. Again, they consume extra sugar. However, the caffeine can also disrupt sleep and cause anxiety. In addition, people with depression may have a tendency to turn to alcohol Unfortunately, alcohol depresses the central nervous system, which will directly influence a persons mood for the worse, especially those dealing with depression.According to the research, diet and depression do go hand in hand. Those suffering from depression should do away with processed foods as much as possible. With a few simple changes in lifestyle, these patients can improve their mental health and return to normal activities with renewed energy and joy.8. What prevents patients from being identified according to the passage?A. Their reluctance to ask for treatment.B. Lack of professional help.C. Unawareness of their diet problems.D. Inadequate social support.9. What do we know about the study conducted at Deakin University?A. The patients in the study came from different parts of the world.B. Two groups were divided on the basis of their levels of depression.C. The control group enjoyed a better improvement in their mood.D. The study helps researchers find a better treatment for depression.10 How do processed foods influence those dealing with depression according to the study?A. Chemicals in them will weaken patients central nervous system.B. Added sugar from them will finally lessen patients happiness.C. They can make patients more likely to be addicted to alcohol.D. They will reduce essential mood-boosting nutrients in patients.11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. What you need is just a right dietB. What is your depression killer?C. Is your diet making you depressed?D. Its time to change your life styleDOf all my girls, I always felt the closest to Yo. My wife says it is because we are much alike, knocking her head with her knuckles as she says so. But that is not why I feel closest to Yo, no.She looks at me, and I know that she can see all the way back to when I was a boy in half trousers raising my hand in that palm-wood schoolhouse. What color is the hair of God? When you reduce a sum by its shadow and multiply it by its reflection, what will you get? Our teacher, who called himself Professor Cristiano lluminado, spouted his wild questions. Soon after I passed on to the higher school, the professor was taken away to an asylum to contemplate the mathematics of the stars. But, and this is the point of my anecdote, I was the only child in that classroom raising my hand to answer those impossible questions.And Yo sees that one hand waving when she looks into my eyes. So that I am blessed and sometimes cursed with a child who understands my secret heart. I should not say child anymore for she is a grown woman who is already preparing herself. When she looks at me these days, she can see that fresh-dug hole in the mountain cemetery near the town where I was born, the flash of the river between the trees.She writes me one, two letters a week. Sometimes she includes an old black-and-white photo with those scalloped edges as if all memories deserve a little lace doily to lay on. A young handsome man sits with a young lady in a crowded booth in a bar sixty years ago. With those pasting papers which were invented for her because she always has to put her two cents (发表意见) on everything, she writes, Where was this taken? Who is the girl beside you? Were you really in love? She strikes right for the secret heart of that young man!Most of the things she asks I tell her. I run the past through a sieve (筛子) of judgment in my head, and if there is no harm, I give her the full cup of my life to drink from. Some little things catch in that fine net, and I leave them out or I make a broad statement. But then the next letter arrives full of questioning: Papi, you say you had to escape the island because you were in a revolution in 1939 and I cant find any mention of it in the book. You say that you were in a log-cabin hospital at Lac Abitibi near the Laurentians and look on the map and Lac Abitibi is nowhere near the Laurentians. Are these just lapses of memory or did you make the whole thing up and if so why?And then I have to explain, sieving everything over again. Until the next letter arrives, and I explain some more, and after a while, I lose that quality control. Before I know it, Ive told her the whole story I did not want her and the others to know.Is that really so? I ask myself. Dont I want to be known before I go? And perhaps Yo sees that secret desire, stronger than all the other secrets in my heart, and that is why she keeps asking.12. The term “secret heart” in paragraph 4 is used in the passage to stand for _.A. the narrators unrevealed selfB. the narrators unexpressed love for YoC. a romance during the narrators youthD. a mystery from the narrators childhood13. In the metaphor “I run . statement” in paragraph 5, what passes through the sieve?A. Memories that the narrator recalls only partially.B. Accusations that the narrator cannot easily deny.C. Information that the narrator is willing to share.D. Excuses to rationalize the narrators shortcomings.14. The narrator uses the term “quality control” in paragraph 6 to refer to his ability to _.A. raise his daughters as he believes they should be raisedB. correct the many misconceptions he finds in Yos lettersC. exclude certain details from the personal experiences he relatesD. provide information only to Yo about his relationship with his wife15. How does the narrator feel about his correspondence with Yo?A. He is suspicious of her motives and wishes she would cut the letters short.B. He is moved by her attention but somewhat uncertain about the potential exposure.C. He is angry at her accusation but nevertheless wants to comfort her.D. He appreciates her dedication and takes fatherly pride in her success in life.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。Joseph Conrad, a famous English novelist, said that his goal as a writer was “to make you hear, to make you feel, and above all, to make you see. That, and no more, is everything.” _16_ Often it leaves a single sharp impression to be turned over and over in the mind. After finishing the story, the reader should have something to think about: the humor of life, its ironies, or the unpredictability of human behavior._17_ The first and most obvious level is conveyed through the plot. Plot refers to the sequence of events, to the actions of the characters and the situations in which they are involved. To explain the plot, then, is to tell what happened in the story and to whom.

The next step is to identify the device by which the author comments on this theme. _19_Readers cannot appreciate a short story fully unless they react not only to what has been said but also to how it has been said. _20_ Style grows out of the writers own personality and can be seen in the choice of words and phrases, the arrangement of sentences, the rhythm and tone.

In complex stories, careful readers may not always agree with the author.C. The impact on the reader comes from the sudden and unexpected response.D. A good short story tries to give the reader a sense of the actual experience.E. Finally, the reader should be able to explain the insights which the author has given into the theme.F. The impa
