    An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that the “accident of evolution” had created.
    “What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!” he said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7 - foot grizzly（灰熊）charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing. He ran even faster, so scared that tears were coming to his eyes. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pumping frantically and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
    At that instant the atheist cried out “Oh my God!”
    Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving.
    As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky,“ You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I don’t exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic （宇宙的）accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this difficulty? Am I to count you as a believer?”
    The atheist looked directly into the light. “It would be hypocritical（伪善的）of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian？”“Very well,” said the voice.
    The light went out. The river ran again. And the sounds of the forest resumed.
    And then the bear dropped his right paw... brought both paws together... bowed his head and spoke, “Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful.”
    小题1:According to the passage, the “accident of evolution” refers to the following Except ________.
    A．riversB．God
    C．treesD．the 7 - foot grizzly
    小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that an atheist is a person ________.
    A．who believes that there is GodB．who likes to do good needs
    C．who makes a living by selling woodD．who denies the existence of God
    小题3:What is the purpose of this text?
    A．To tell a real interesting story.
    B．To give practical advice.
    C．To convince readers of the existence of God.
    D．To entertain readers.

    小题1:B
    小题2:D
    小题3:D

    试题分析：
    一个无神论者走在森林之中，欣赏着“进化之美”，突遇灰熊追捕。危急时刻口呼上帝。上帝的声音从空中传来：你不相信我的存在，并教给别人说我不存在，将世间万物归因于一次宇宙事故。你希望我救你吗？能将你算作信徒吗？无神论者问上帝能否将灰熊变为基督信徒。只见灰熊双手合十、念念有词：主啊，感谢您赐给我食物。
    小题1:推断题。第二段“What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!”一句表明，在无神论者眼中，世间万物，包括树木、河流和动物，都是“进化事故”的产物，不存在所谓“上帝”。故B项正确。
    小题2:细节题。从第五段上帝的话 “You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I don’t exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic （宇宙的）accident…”可知，这位atheist否认上帝的存在。故 D项正确。
    小题3:主旨大意题。A项real一词提示该项排除；B项practical提示该项排除；而Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving.等都是虚构的，虚构的东西不能证明上帝的存在，排除C项。“灰熊为美食祷告”极具趣味性，故D项正确。

    In the past two years, his wife, Merlie, and their seven children have said “goodbye” to him four times, most recently last month. Each time it has been unnecessary.
    Mr. Smart had a hip (髋关节) replacement in February at the Burnie hospital but was rushed back two months later with internal bleeding.
    “The doctors couldn’t stop the bleeding,” Mrs. Smart said. Medical staff told Mrs. Smart to contact her family, which includes children in Western Australia. “It took two days for them to get here. We had to hope he hung on .” he did.
    “The doctors were there 24 hours a day and they stopped the bleeding. They brought him back,” Mrs. Smart said.
    “I certainly believe in miracles because I’ve seen one happen, but it wouldn’t have happened if the doctors didn’t do what they did.”
    It was the second time Mrs. Smart thought she was losing her husband of 54 years. Two years ago, Mr. Smart was admitted to the Launceston General Hospital after a heart attack and a few days later with intense pain caused by a hemorrhage (出血). Again, the family was called to say goodbye---twice.
    “I was given a 50-50 chance of coming out of it, ” Mr. Smart said.
    Going through the ordeal (苦难，折磨) then was trying on the family, who had prepared themselves for the worst.
    But to face the same situation only two years later was hard. The Smarts said the support they received at the Burnie hospital helped them through.
    And it seems the experience has also left an impression at the hospital. Mrs. Smart said when she rang recently and mentioned her husband’s name, the reply was “ah the miracle man”.
    小题1:The first time Mrs. Smart and the children said goodbye to Mr. Smart was when he had    .
    A．a hip replacementB．internal bleeding

    When two Bangs meet
    Sheldon Cooper is a scientific genius on the popular American TV show, The Big Bang Theory (《生活大爆炸》). He finally met his match last year: Stephen Hawking.
    This is not the first time that the scientist has appeared on TV. He has also been on Star Trek (in 1987) and The Simpsons (in 1989). Each time, he played himself.
    Hawking, 71, is perhaps the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He has spent his whole life studying the beginning and the end of the universe, including the Big Bang (宇宙大爆炸) theory.
    The Big Bang theory explains the early development of the universe. According to the theory, about 13.7 billion years ago everything was all squeezed （挤压）together in a tiny, tight little ball, and then the ball exploded. The results of that explosion are what we call the universe.
    Hawking has always tried to make science more popular with people. His book: A Brief History of Time was published in 1988. In the book he shares his understanding of the universe in simple language. The book tries to explain many subjects about the universe to common readers, including the Big Bang, black holes and light cones (光锥).
    Hawking’s achievements are even greater if you think about his disability. When he was 21, Hawking caught a bad illness that slowly stopped him from moving or talking. Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He chooses his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer (合成器).
    Hawking also believes that there might be aliens in space. However, he believes they are probably very dangerous, so we should not look for them. “I imagine they might exist in very big ships ... having used up all the resources from their home planet,” Hawking said in a British documentary（纪录片） named Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking. 
    小题1:What does the “two Bangs” in the title refer to?
    A．The director of “The Big Bang Theory” and the founder of it.
    B．The director and the actor of “The Big Bang Theory”.
    C．The founder of the “Big Bang” theory and its spreader.
    D．The scientific genius on TV show and the one alive in real life.
    小题2:Acting in The Big Bang Theory is Hawking’s _____ time on TV.
    A．first B．second C．third D．fourth
    小题3:According to Paragraph 5, Hawking wrote the book A Brief History of Time especially for _____.
    A．scientists who study the universe
    B．people who know a lot about the universe
    C．people who know little about the universe
    D．people who only know simple language
    小题4:The Big Bang theory mainly explains _____.
    A．how the universe startedB．what the universe is like
    C．how old the universe isD．how the universe exploded
    小题5:According to the passage, which of the following about Hawking is TRUE?
    A．He was born with a disability.
    B．He uses a computer to communicate.
    C．He believes aliens are our friends.
    D．He encourages people to look for aliens.

    When Marilynne Robinson published her first novel, Housekeeping, in 1980, she was unknown in the literary world. But an early review in The New York Times ensured that the book would be noticed. “It’s as if, in writing it, she broke through the ordinary human condition with all its dissatisfactions, and achieved a kind of transfiguration（美化）,” wrote Anatole Broyard, with an enthusiasm and amazement that was shared by many critics and readers. The book became a classic, and Robinson was recognized as one of the outstanding American writers of our time. Yet it would be more than twenty years before she wrote another novel. 
    During the period, Robinson devoted herself to writing nonfiction. Her essays and book reviews appeared in Harper’s and The New York Times Book Review, and in 1989 she published Mother Country: Britain, the Welfare State, and Nuclear Pollution, criticizing severely the environmental and public health dangers caused by the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant in England—and the political and moral corruption(腐败). In 1998, Robinson published a collection of her critical and theological writings, The Death of Adam: Essays on Modern Thought, which featured reassessments of such figures as Charles Darwin, John Calvin, and Friedrich Nietzsche. Aside from a single short story—“Connie Bronson,” published in The Paris Review in 1986—it wasn’t until 2004 that she returned to fiction with the novel Gilead, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Her third novel, Home, came out this fall.
    Her novels could be described as celebrations of the human—the characters in them are unforgettable creations. Housekeeping is the story of Ruth and her sister Lucille, who are cared for by their eccentric（古怪的）Aunt Sylvie after their mother commits suicide. Robinson writes a lot about how each of the three is changed by their new life together. Gilead is an even more close exploration of personality: the book centres on John Ames, a seventy-seven-year-old pastor(牧师) who is writing an account of his life and his family history to leave to his young son after he dies. Home borrows characters from Gilead but centers on Ames’s friend Reverend Robert Boughton and his troubled son Jack. Robinson returned to the same territory as Gilead because, she said, “after I write a novel or a story, I miss the characters—I feel like losing some close friends.”
    小题1:Robinson’s second novel came out ____.
    A．in 1980B．in 1986 C．in 1998D．in 2004
    小题2:What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
    A．Robinson’s achievements in fiction.
    B．Robinson’s achievements in nonfiction.
    C．Robinson’s influence on the literary world.
    D．Robinson’s contributions to the environment.
    小题3:According to Paragraph 3, who is John Ames?
    A．He is Robinson’s close friend.
    B．He is a character in Gilead.
    C．He is a figure in The Death of Adam.
    D．He is a historian writing family stories.
    小题4:From which section of a newspaper can you read this passage?
    A．Career.B．Lifestyle.　C．Music.D．Culture.

    The Healing
    Jim and his wife, Connie, were shocked by the loss of their four-month-old son—Joshua, whose life was taken by SIDS—sudden infant death syndrome.
    Thirty hours ago, Jim drove to the baby-sitter’s home to      Joshua. It was a     trip, like the one he made five days every week. He arrived, and little Joshua could not be        from his nap. The next few hours were a time of life and death: the racing ambulance, swift-moving doctors and nurse. But 12 hours later, at Children’s Hospital,      the doctors had exhausted（用尽） all     , little Joshua was gone. Yes, they wanted       of Joshua’s usable organs to be donated. That was not a      decision for Jim and Connie, a loving and       couple.
    The next morning dawned and many things had to be arranged. Telephone calls and funeral plans.       one point Jim realized he needed a     .When Jim settled into the chair      the barber’s, he began to        the past hours, trying to       some sense of it all.      had Joshua, their first-born, the child they had waited so long for, been taken so soon….He had     begun his life. The question kept coming, and the pain in Jim’s heart just       him.
    While talking with the barber, Jim mentioned the organ donations, looking at his watch, “They are transplanting one of his heart valves（瓣膜）right now.”
    The       stopped and stood motionless. Finally she spoke, but it was only a whisper. “You’re not going to believe this. But about an hour ago the customer sitting in this chair wanted me to hurry       she could get to Children’s Hospital. She       here so full of joy. Her prayers had been answered. Today her baby granddaughter is receiving a     needed transplant—a heart valve.”
    Jim’s healing began.
