【題目】 At the office that day, Martha was left to keep her eyes open until after the lunch hour. Then Mr Max Cohen brought her a document to copy. She was so anxious she had to start afresh three times. And when he came to fetch it, all that had been achieved were the words “Memorandum of an Agreement of Sale” typed across the top of the sheet. She shrank under his impatient assurance that it did not matter in the least, and she must take her time. Her fingers were heavy and trembling, and her head was thick. To type two pages of his small neat writing into something clean and pleasant to look at seemed to her, just then, an impossibly difficult task. He went home without coming to her desk again, and she decided she would come early next morning and do it before anyone else arrived.

Mrs Buss, on her way out, asked, “Have you got any certificates?” Martha said no. She had learned to type at home. Mrs Buss said nothing, but merely nodded absent-mindedly, for her eyes were on the elegant Mrs Jasper Cohen. Martha could barely see where she was going as she left the office. What she said to herself was, “I won’t spend the rest of my life typing this stupid jargon”.

She then went into the building of the ZambesiNews. She was going to see if Mr Spur, an old journalist whom she had known as a child, could offer her any kind of position. She was in the building about half an hour, and when she came out, her face was hot with embarrassment. It had been so painful she could not bear to remember what had happened. What she must remember was that she had no qualifications at all.

【1】Why did Martha find her first day at the office difficult?

A.She was too nervous to think.B.Mr Cohen was not easy to please.

C.The task given to her was very difficult.D.She was not used to working under pressure.

【2】By the end of the day, which of the following was true of Martha?

A.She had decided to work overtime.B.She hadn't finished her typing work.

C.She hadn't thought she would be blamed.D.She knew Mr Cohen was disappointed in her.

【3】What might be Mrs Buss's attitude towards Martha?

A.She seemed eager to help her.

B.She seemed uninterested in her.

C.She seemed to have taken a dislike to her.

D.She seemed concerned about her lack of qualifications.

【題目】 X-rays are high energy waves that are invisible. 【1】For example,doctors can see inside the human body and security guards at airports can see inside your handbag. In 1895,the German scientist,Wilhelm Rontgen,discovered X-rays by accident. He called them X-rays because he hadn't seen such a form of radiation before. 【2】Wilhelm took the first X-ray picture of the bones of his wife's hand after the discovery. In 1901,he received the first Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery.

X-rays are valuable in medicine because then can see through certain parts of the body. Doctors can take pictures to see which bones are broken or to find out which teeth have holes. The X-rays are strong enough to pass through the skin and muscles,but they cannot pass through hard objects like bones. In the picture,hard objects like bones are white area【3】

There are some situations in which X-rays cannot give you a clear picture. Some organs,for example,may prevent X-rays from showing a broken bone. For this reason,computed tomography(CT)was invented. A person is put inside a scanner,which is a large tube-shaped machine. 【4】 A computer puts together all of these images,which can show doctors more than a normal X-ray can.

【5】Patients must wear protective clothing for the parts of their body that are not X-rayed. Doc- tors and helpers who work with X-ray machines must wear lead aprons and stand behind screens.

A.Then the person is X-rayed from all sides.

B.Objects that X-rays go through appear dark.

C.In mathematics,X means something unknown.

D.An X-ray machine is used to take these pictures.

E.X-rays,however,can also do harm to your body.

F.However,they can be an essential tool for finding out what's wrong with you.

G.They are useful because they can pass through many things that normal light cannot.

【題目】 Life affects (影響) friendships. As we grow, marry, fight in wars, move across the country or change jobs, old friendships fall away and new ones form. As long as we live, the things around us change, and as long as things change, friendships are affected.
