选择题
(1)I remember meeting him one evening with his pushcart. I had managed to sell all my papers and was coming home in the snow. It was that strange hour in downtown New York when the workers were pouring homeward in the twilight. I marched among thousands of tired men and women whom the factory whistles had unyoked. They flowed in rivers through the clothing factory districts, then down along the avenues to the East Side.
(2)I met my father near Cooper Union. I recognized him, a hunched, frozen figure in an old overcoat standing by a banana cart. He looked so lonely, the tears came to my eyes. Then he saw me, and his face lit with his sad, beautiful smile—Charlie Chaplin\’s smile.

1.Which of the following in the first paragraph does NOT indicate crowds of people?(D)
A. Thousands of.
B. Flowed.
C. Pouring.
D. Unyoked.
解析：B(flowed)和C(pouring)都有人流涌动如潮的意象，而A(thousands of)的意思更是不言而喻，所以D为正确答案。
2.Which of the following is intended to be a pair of contrast in the passage?(A)
A. Huge crowds and lonely individuals.
B. Weather conditions and street lamps.
C. Clattering trains and peddlers’ yells.
D. Moving crowds and street traffic.
解析：首段末尾说街上人流涌动、交通繁忙，第2段叙述父亲孤零零地站在那里，没人买他的香蕉。动与静、多与孤，形成了鲜明的对比，故A“大量的人群和孤独的个人”正确。B“下雪的天气和路灯”、C“高架(铁路)列车和街头小贩的叫卖声”都只是在描述周围的环境。D“涌动的人流和街道交通”说路上行人多、车流量大。也不构成对比。
3.Which of the following words is NOT suitable to describe the character of the son?(C)
A. Compassionate.
B. Responsible.
C. Shy.
D. Determined.

4.The author’s attitude towards the father and the son is _____.(B)
A. indifferent.
B. sympathetic
C. appreciative
D. difficult to tell
解析：可以从两个方面分析作者的态度。一方面，这对父子互相关爱，感情深厚；另一方面，他们处境艰难，其中儿子几乎哭着为父亲叫卖的情景感人至深。作者的态度应该是充满同情的，故选B。

But it sometimes leads to unnecessary treatment The body has a battery of mechanisms for stopping small tumours from becoming large ones. Treating those that would have been suppressed anyway does no good and can often be harmful.
(2)Take lung cancer. A report in this week\’s Journal of the American Medical Association, by Peter Bach of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre in New York and his colleagues, suggests that, despite much fanfare around the use of computed tomography(CT)to detect tumours in me lungs well before they cause symptoms, the test may not reduce the risk of dying from me disease at all—indeed, it may make things worse.
(3)The story begins last year, when Claudia Henschke of Cornell University and her colleagues made headlines with a report mat patients whose lung cancer had been diagnosed early by CT screening had excellent long-term survival prospects.

In his case, 94% of patients diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer were alive four years later.
(4)Survival data alone, though, fail to answer a basic question: \\
