22、)On the morning of September 11th, I boarded the train from Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan just as usual and went to the Body Positive office in the South Street Seaport of Lower Manhattan. While I was leaving the subway at 8:53 am, a man ran down the street screaming, “Someone just bombed th
23、e World Trade Center. “ Those around me screamed and shouted “No!“ in disbelief. However, being an amateur photographer, and thinking that I might be able to help out, I ran directly toward the WTC. I stopped just short of the WTC at a corner and looked up. There before me stood the gaping hole and
24、fire that had taken over the first building. I stood there in shock taking pictures, wanting to run even closer to help out, but I could not move. Soon I saw what looked like little angels floating down from the top of the building. I began to cry when I realized that these “angels“ in fact, despera
25、te office workerswere coming down, some one by one, some even holding hands with another. Could I actually be seeing this disaster unfold with hundreds of people around me crying, screaming and running for safety?As I watched in horror, another white airliner came from the south and took aim at the
26、South Tower. As the plane entered the building, there was an explosion and fire and soon debris (碎片) began to fall around me. It was then that I realized that we were being attacked and that this was just not a terrible accident. Yet, I still could not move, until I was pushed down by the crowd on t
27、he street, many now in a panic running toward the water, as far from the WTC as they could possibly get. All around me were the visual reminders of hundreds of people running in panic. There were shoes, hats, briefcases, pocketbooks, newspapers, and other personal items dropped as hundreds of people
28、 ran for safety.Much has been written about the disaster already. We have learned so much in such a small amount of time about appreciating life. In some way we must move forward, bury the dead, build a memorial for those lost, and begin the coping and healing process for the survivors. But healing
29、takes time. Some have been able to head right back to work, others seek counseling, while others remain walking through the streets with expressionless faces. However, we are all united in our grief.（分数：6.00）(1).According to paragraph one, the authors office was_.（分数：1.00）A.at Washington HeightsB.ju

35、actices “active“ euthanasia: Intentionally administering a lethal (致死的) drug to a terminally ill patient who has asked to be relieved of suffering. Twenty times a day, life-prolonging treatment is withheld or withdrawn when there is no hope that it can effect an ultimate cure. “Active“ euthanasia re
36、mains a crime on the Dutch statute books, punishable by 12 years in prison. But a series of court cases over the past 15 years has made it clear that a competent physician who carries it out will not be prosecuted.Euthanasia, often called “mercy killing“ is a crime everywhere in Western Europe. But
37、more and more doctors and nurses readily admit to practicing it, most often in the “passive“ form of withholding or withdrawing treatment. The long simmering euthanasia issue has lately boiled over into a, sometimes, fierce public debate, with both sides claiming the mantle of ultimate righteousness
38、. Those opposed to the practice see themselves upholding sacred principles of respect for life, while those in favor raise the banner of humane treatment. After years on the defensive, the advocates now seem to be gaining ground. Recent polls in Britain show that 72 percent of British subjects favor
39、 euthanasia in some circumstances. An astonishing 76 percent of respondents to a poll taken last year in France said they would like the law changed to decriminalize mercy killings.Euthanasia has been a topic of controversy in Europe since at least 1936, when a bill was introduced in the House of Lo
40、rds that would have legalized mercy killing under very tightly supervised conditions. That bill failed, as have three others introduced in the House of Lords since then.Reasons for the latest surge of interest in euthanasia are not hard to find. Europeans, like Americans, are now living longer. Ther
41、efore, lingering chronic diseases have replaced critical illnesses as the primary cause of death. And the advocates of euthanasia argue that every human being should have the right to “die with dignity,“ by which they usually mean the right to escape the horrors of a painful or degrading hospitaliza
42、tion (住院治疗).Most experts believe that euthanasia will continue to be practiced no matter what the law says.（分数：6.00）(1).From the passage we can see that in Holland_.（分数：1.00）A.a doctor who practices euthanasia will not be punishedB.euthanasia is regarded as illegalC.euthanasia is very popularD.activ
43、e euthanasia is still illegal, but people often tolerate an experienced doctor who carries it out(2).What is the comment of the author on the problem of euthanasia?（分数：1.00）A.Euthanasia is not regarded as a crime in France.B.More and more medical workers like to practice euthanasia, no matter what f
44、orm it takes.C.The problem of euthanasia is now being debated heatedly and openly.D.There is not much difference between “active“ and “passive“ euthanasi(3).Which of the following statements can not be found in the passage?（分数：1.00）A.Those opposed euthanasia say that they believe the right to live i
45、s sacred.B.Those in favor of euthanasia maintain that they are for humane treatment.C.Recently the advocates of euthanasia have got more support from the public.D.More and more people like to have the law change(4).What do you think is the standpoint of the author on this problem?（分数：1.00）A.He is a
46、fence-sitter.B.He is afraid that the situation may get out of control.C.He is strongly against euthanasia.D.He supports euthanasia whole-heartedly.(5).Which of the following is the most reasonable cause of euthanasia?（分数：1.00）A.People dont like to live too long.B.People dont like to suffer from last
47、ing chronic diseases.C.People dont like to be hospitalized.D.People dont like to become a burden of others.(6).According to this passage, which conclusion cant be inferred?（分数：1.00）A.The opposition to euthanasia mainly comes from the respect for life.B.Humane treatment permits euthanasia.C.Euthanasi
48、a will be legal sooner or later.D.Some countries consider euthanasia as a kind of murder.十一、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen.
