　　W:Good morning and welcome to the Life review.Do you know how many men do housework?Recently,a European official group tried to discover what people’s ideas were about the women’s movement.As part of their survey,they asked many men and women the question,“Who does the housework?” The man answered very differently from the women!The housework they asked people about was:preparing meals,washing dishes,cleaning the house and baby-sitting.48% of British husbands said they did this kind of work.51% of Danish men said they helped in the house.15% of Italian men said they did the housework.But there was an interesting point of view from the wives.According to British wives,only 38% of their husbands help in the house.And Italian wives complained that their husbands hardly ever help.The Italian and British men didn’t tell the truth!The group found that Danish men were the most truthful husbands.Their answers were the same as their wives’.

　　Ⅳ.阅读理解

　　A

　　Last Monday,David Nichol,Australia’s top kidney 肾doctor,successfully removed a diseased kidney from a woman.What’s so unusual about that?David Nichol was in his office in Australia while the woman lay on an operating table in New Zealand.

　　What connected them was a technology called remote surgery手术.

　　Remote surgery itself is not new.In 2001,a group of doctors in New York,US,removed a gall bladder 胆囊from a patient lying in France.It was the first successful case of remote surgery used on a human across international borders.

　　Now,Nichol’s operation is to be the first one performed on the kidneys.Nichol used joysticks 操纵杆to direct robotic arms in the New Zealand operating room during the two-hour operation.The joysticks and the robotic arms are linked by a computer network.Nichol could watch the robot’s work while doctors in New Zealand checked the patient and changed the instruments as needed.“Before this technology,I would have been in the operating theatre 手术室when they were performing the operation，” Nichol said.During remote surgery,the doctor is the one in control.The robots carry out the operation using a complex method.

　　Doctors have found that a robot is better than a human surgeon at carrying out this difficult operation—even when it is controlled thousands of miles away.Unlike humans,robotic “arms” do not shake when they target a small piece of tissue 组织or organ.In remote surgery such as the removal of kidney stones,the robotic arm inserts a long special needle into the patient’s body and X-rays guide it to the kidney.

　　Once the robotic arm has reached the hard kidney stone,the needle gets wider so that a tiny telescope can travel down it and look at the organ.Then instruments are used to break up the stone and get rid of the remaining waste.

　　For doctors,the technology means less stress in the operation room.And for patients,it means far less chance of suffering blood loss or damage to a nearby organ.

　　However,the remote surgery is not widely used because it’s still very expensive.A remote operation on a gall bladder costs more than US $1 million.A normal operation costs US $2000.It will be some time yet before the price falls and the operation is available to people throughout the world.

　　1.Why was this kidney operation so unusual?Because ___________.

　　A.remote surgery was only used on the kidney operation

　　B.it was a robot that was carrying out the operation

　　C.the patient and the doctor in control were in different countries

　　D.it was the first successful operation of remote surgery performed on kidneys

　　2.What does the underlined word “target” mean in this passage?

　　A.aim at B.cure

　　C.meet with D.get close to 

　　3.What is the key part of the operation of remote surgery?

　　A.The joysticks. B.The robot.

　　C.The network. D.The doctor.

　　4.What advantage do the operations of remote surgery have mainly?

　　A.The doctors are less stressed during the operations.

　　B.It is more convenient for doctors to perform the operations.

　　C.The patients will have less chance of suffering blood loss or damage to a nearby organ.

　　D.The robot is better than a human surgeon.

　　答案：1.D　主旨大意题。由第一段和第三段可知。

　　2.A　猜测词义题。target作名词时，表示“目标”，此处用作动词，表示“瞄准”。

　　3.D　远程手术是由主治大夫操作完成的。

　　4.C　由文章第七段可知。

　　B

　　One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes.It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say,“I was wrong,and you were right about that.”

　　I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago.He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up,and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons箱子.Then he related an incident and I began to remember clearly the incident he was describing.

　　I was about eight years old at the time,and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping.On that particular day,I must have found my way to dairy food department where the incident took place.

　　There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons.The cartons were stacked 堆放three or four feet high.I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks.Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons.For some reason,I decided it was up to me to put the display back together,so I went to work.

　　The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened.When he appeared,I was on my knees examining some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken,but to him it looked as though I was the criminal.He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs.I protested my innocence and tried to explain,but it did no good.Even though I quickly forget all about the incident,obviously the manager did not.

　　5.The author was __________ when he wrote this article.

　　A.about 23 B.about 15

　　C.about 8 D.about 18

　　6.When the manager scolded him the author ___________.

　　A.was frightened and cried

　　B.did not say anything

　　C.felt the manager was right

　　D.tried to explain the incident

　　7.It can be inferred that the author ___________.

　　A.expects the woman to say sorry to him for the mistake she made

　　B.has forgiven the manager for what he did to him fifteen years ago

　　C.would like to tell people never to be fooled by an egg sale

　　D.regrets arguing with the manager for what he didn’t do

　　答案：5.A　从第二段“he had made a mistake fifteen years ago”和第三段“I was about eight years old at the time”可推断出答案。

　　6.D　从最后一段中的“I protested my innocence and tried to explain”可知。

　　7.B　文章第一段详细阐述了作者的观点:主动向别人认错是多数人佩服的品质之一。那位经理能在15年后向他认错，更加难能可贵。由此可知作者的态度。

　　C

　　Mom was a teacher most of her life.When she wasn’t in the classroom,she was educating her children or grandchildren:correcting our grammar,starting us on collection of butterflies,flowers or rocks;or inspiring a discussion on her most recent “Book of the Month Club” topic.Mom made learning fun.

　　It was sad for my three brothers and me to see her ailing in her later years.At eighty-five,she suffered a stroke and she went steadily downhill after that.

　　Two days before she died,my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her for a short ride in a wheelchair.While we waited for the staff to lift her limp body back into bed,Mom fell asleep.Not wanting to wake her,we moved to the far end of the room and spoke softly.

　　After several minutes our conversation was interrupted by a muffled sound coming from across the room.We stopped talking and looked at Mom.Her eyes were closed,but she was clearly trying to communicate with us.We went to her side.

　　“Whirr,” she said weakly.

　　“Where?” I asked.“Mom,is there something you want?” “Whirr.” she repeated a bit stronger.My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly.

　　Mom opened her eyes,sighed,and with all the energy she could muster said,“Not was.Say were!”

　　It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correcting brother’s Jim’s last sentence,“if it was up to me...”

　　Jim leaned down and kissed her cheek.“Thanks,Mom,” he whispered.We smiled at each other and once again shook our heads this time in awe of a remarkable teacher.

　　8.When Mom said,“Whirr”,what did she really want to do?

　　A.She wanted to tell her sons her will.

　　B.She wanted to have something to eat before she died.

　　C.She wanted to correct the mistakes Jim made while talking.

　　D.She wanted to teach her sons more because she was dying.

　　9.Which of the following statements is NOT right?

　　A.Mom was a good teacher and never wanted to stop her teaching.

　　B.Mom was always making her teaching fun.

　　C.Mom didn’t forget her teaching until she died.

　　D.Mom was no longer a teacher when she was at home.

　　10.What does the writer think of his mother?

　　A.He loved her but was tired of his mother’s teaching at home.

　　B.His mother should forget her teaching and enjoyed the rest of her life.

　　C.His mother was great because she devoted herself to teaching.

　　D.His mother was an excellent teacher before she was retired.

　　答案：8.C　文章第七、八两段点明了母亲的意图。

　　9.D　母亲离开讲台后在家里教育子女，直至生命尽头。D项与此不符。

　　10.C　作者对母亲献身教育的崇敬贯穿全文。第一段有“Mom made learning fun”，最后一段有“this time in awe of a remarkable teacher”。
