第三部分：阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
In 1966, a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a 19-month-old baby in a most unusual way. The author was Agatha Christie, a gentle married lady and one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world.
In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar, near Saudi Arabia. Doctors were unable to diagnose the cause of her illness with confidence, so she was flown to London and admitted to Hammersmith Hospital, where specialist help was available. She was then only semi-conscious and on the “Dangerously Ill” list. A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they, too, were baffled by the very unusual symptoms. While they were discussing the baby’s case, a nurse asked to speak to them.
“Excuse me,” said Nurse Marsha Maitland, “but I think the baby is suffering from thallium poisoning.”
“What makes you think that?” Dr. Brown asked. “Thallium poisoning is extremely rare.”
“A few days ago. I was reading a novel called A Pale Horse by Agatha Christie,” Nurse Maitland explained. “In the book, somebody uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms are described. They’re exactly the same as the baby’s.”
“You’re very observant and you may be right,” another doctor said. “We’ll carry out some tests and find out whether it’s thallium or not.”
The tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium, a rare metallic substance used in making optical (光学的) glass. Once they knew the cause of illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment. She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar. Enquiries (调查）revealed that the poison might have come from an insecticide used in Qatar.
51. Who first suggested the correct cause of the baby’s illness?
A. A doctor in Qatar. B. Nurse Maitland.
C. Dr. Brown. D. Agatha Christie.
52. Why was the baby sent to London?
A. Because she was a British girl whose parent were working in Qatar.
B. Because the hospitals in Qatar were full at that time.
C. Because she was the daughter of a doctor in one of the hospitals in London.
D. Because the Qatar doctors were not sure they could cure her.

53. When the baby was first admitted to hospital in the U.K., what did the doctors think of her case?
A. They thought it was an urgent and unusual one.
B. They thought it was a matter of normal medical tests.
C. They thought it was quite a simple one.
D. They thought it was the result of thallium poisoning.
54. Which of the following words can be used to explain the underlined word “baffled” ?
A. secretive B. delighted C. confused D. associated
55. According to the passage, what caused the baby’s illness?
A. Contact with a pair of infected spectacles (镜片).
B. Contact with a harmful substance used to kill insects.
C. Contact with machinery used in manufacturing optical glass.
D. Contact with her mother who carried thallium germs (病毒) in her body.
B
Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you are awake because you can control your behavior, but when you are asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their positions. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to displease people. So you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t quite sure of yourself.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You always stick to your own opinions or judgment, but you don’t raise your hope too much. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well—balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You believe in yourself. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get sad. You always say what you think even if it makes people rather angry.
56. According to the passage, a person, who is not willing to change his mind and hard to deal with, probably sleeps ___.
A. on his side B. on his back C. curled up D. on his stomach
57. If a person prefers to sleep curled up rather than on his back, he may be well content (满足的，满意的) to ____.
A. live for today not tomorrow. B. stay alone
C. keep things secret D. trust others easily
58. Which of the following people, in the author’s opinion, most likely have personalities
opposite to each other ?
A. The people sleeping on their stomach and those sleeping on his backs.
B. The people sleeping on their sides and those sleeping curled up.
C. The people sleeping on their backs and those sleeping on their sides.
D. The people sleeping curled up and those sleeping on their stomach.

A. one’s sleeping position has something to do with one’s character.
B. everyone has got both real and secret personalities.

The whole body is covered with skin. The surface of the skin is dead(like the hair and the nails),but it is made from a living layer(层) just under the surface. The outside dead layers wear off(磨损)all the time, with new ones replacing them, and the body forms a totally new skin every three weeks.
　　The skin protects the body from the outside world and it passes information from the outside. It helps to keep water in the body and to keep the body at the same temperature. Bacteria (细菌) can´t get in through the skin unle
