第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21～40各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

As an intern (实习医生), I grew to understand that nursing home patients was a valuable part of my education — not just from a 21 angle, but for what they could 22 me personally.

Mr. Smith was my first introduction to the nursing home. His 23 , regrettably, can probably exist in countless hospitals across our nation. An acute (严重的) illness had brought him to our nursing home years ago, and his family 24 him shortly before he left hospital. Helpless and unable to care for himself, he had no 25 except for nursing home care, 26 he lay until I met him when I was an intern.

Mr. Smith was almost noncommunicative. After transferring to the nursing home, he slipped into a tense and 27 state, waiting for his life to 28 . All efforts to bring him back to the mainstream life were 29 . Nurses faithfully tended to his physical needs, while he 30 as a shell of flesh and bone, completely lacking in life. For three years, I saw him every week. Not once did I hear him speak a word. Not once could I 31 his innermost thoughts.

On my last nursing home visit, an idea 32 me. I brought my 33 into Mr. Smith’s room as part of a(n) 34 in “pet treatment”. Something 35 occurred. All of a sudden, he sat up and started talking, telling me of the days when he was a boy and had a dog 36 to my own. He told me stories of adventures he and his dog had had. For the first time, I saw the soul 37 from what had been a living corpse (尸体).

That experience taught me not to underestimate the ability of the 38 things in life to touch hearts when carefully-made medicine has failed, and never to forget that within even the weakest of human bodies lies a life that is precious indeed — 39 that needs to be 40 and honored, even if it can’t speak for itself.

第二部分 阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

第一节 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Tens of thousands of ancient pictures carved into the rocks at one of France’s most important tourist sites are being gradually destroyed. Scientists and researchers fear that the 36,000 drawings on rocks in Mont Bego in the French Alps are being damaged so rapidly that they will not survive for future generations.

The mountain, believed to have once been a site for prayer, is scattered (散布) with 4,000-year-old drawings cut into bare rock. They include pictures of cows with horns, cultivated fields (耕地) and various gods and goddesses. But as the popularity of the site increases, the pictures are being ruined by thoughtless graffiti (涂鸦).

Jean Clottes is the chairman of the International Committee on Rock Art. He says, “People think that because the pictures have been there so long they will always continue to be there. But if the damage continues at this rate there will be nothing left in 50 years.”

He describes seeing tourists stamping on the drawings, wearing away the rock and definition (清晰) of the artwork as they do so. Some visitors, he says, even cut off parts to take home as souvenirs. “When people think they can’t take a good enough photograph, they rub the drawings to get a clearer picture,” he said. “The drawings are polished by the weather, and if the sun is shining and the visitors can’t see them properly they simply rub them to make them look fresher.” Other researchers describe how people arrive carrying long sticks with sharp ends to scratch (刮) their own drawings, or even their names, in the rocks.

But experts are divided over the best way to preserve the drawings. Henry de Lumley, director of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, believes that the only way to save the site is to turn the whole mountain into a “no-go” area, preventing the public from going there except on guided tours. Otherwise, he says, not only will the site be completely destroyed but important research work will be reduced.

Clottes disagrees, “The measure suggested by Henry de Lumley is the most severe, and while it is the most effective, it is also certain to bring about protests from people who live there,” he said. “The site was classified as a historic monument years ago by the Ministry of Culture, and we must do as much as possible to save what is there.”

David Lavergne, the regional architect, also wants to avoid closing the site. “Henry de Lumley’s idea isn’t ideal,” he said. “Our department feels that the best solution is to let people look at the site, but because the area is very big it is difficult to prevent visitors from damaging it. I would prefer that everyone was able to look at it, but the main problem is money. We do not have the funds to employ the necessary number of guards. We may have to consider charging a fee. It doesn’t seem to be possible to get the government support.”

In Nice, Annie Echassoux, who also worked on researching the site, is alarmed that as the mountain becomes easier to reach — tourists can now avoid the three-and-a-half-hour walk by hiring vehicles — the damage will increase rapidly. She thinks that the only solution is to rope off the area and provide guides. “You can’t say the plan can’t go ahead because there is no money,” she said. “That is not good enough. Money must be provided because the Mi
