听力原文： In the local newspaper of my community recently, there was a story about a man named Virgil Spears. He lived in a small town about 40 miles from my home. He had served five years in a New York prison for robbing a restaurant. When he returned to his family, Mr. Spears couldn't find a job. Everyone knew he had been in prison and nobody trusted him. Finally, in desperation, he calmly walked into a local barbershop where he was well known, pulled out a gun, and took all the money the barber had. Up to this point it had been a fairly routine crime, but then something unusual happened. Mr. Spears didn't try to get away. He got into his car, drove slowly out of the town, and waited for the police. When they caught him, he made only one request. He turned to the arresting policemen and said: "Would you please asked the court to put my family on welfare just as soon as possible？"

Surprised by a Miracle

I had been working in the trauma unit at a local hospital for about a year. You get used to families thinking that a "coma"(昏迷) patient is moving their hand or doing something that they were asked to do. "Following commands" is what we call it. Often it's "wishful thinking" on the families' part. Nurses can easily become callous(麻木不仁的) to it.

On this particular night during visiting hours, my patient's wife came in. I had taken care of him for several nights. I was very familiar with his care and what he was able to do. Actually, he didn't do anything. He barely moved at all, even when something would obviously hurt him, such as suctioning(抽吸).

His wife was very short, about 5 feet tall. She had to stand on a stool to lean over him, so that she could see his face and talk to him. She climbed up on the stool. I spoke to her for a few minutes, and then stepped out to tend to my other patient. A few minutes later, she came running out of the room. In an excited voice, she said, "Donna, he's moving his hand!"

I immediately thought that it was probably her imagination, and that he had not actually done it on purpose. He had been there about a month at the time and had never made any movements on purpose. I asked her what had happened and she said, "I asked him to squeeze my hand and he did!"

This led me to another train of questioning. "But, did he let go when you asked him to？" She said yes, that he had done exactly what she asked.

I went into the room with her, not really believing that I would see anything different than I had always seen. But I decided that it would be better to pacify(抚慰) her than to make her think that I didn't believe her or that she was somehow mistaken.

She asked him to squeeze her hand, which he did.

I said, "Well, ask him to let go". He continued to squeeze for a moment, so that when he finally did let go, I really still didn't believe that he had done it on purpose.

So, I said, "Ask him to hold up one finger". He did as asked.

Well, hmm, this was starting to get my attention. I looked at him, his face still somewhat swollen(肿胀的) and his eyes still closed. "Stick out your tongue!" I said. He did it. I almost fell on the floor. It was the first time I had ever seen anyone "wake up".

The first paragraph indicates that more often than not a coma patient______.

A．is found to be following commands.

B．is callous to nurses' commands.

C．is used to following commands.

D．is thought to be following commands.

听力原文：M: I need to arrange my trip to England and I don't know where to start.

W: It would be better if you asked Thomas for advice. I've never been to England, but he has. He'll know more about it.

Q: What conclusion can you draw from the conversation？

(18)

A．The man doesn't know how to get to England.

B．The man will pay a visit to England in the near future.

C．The woman has been m England before.

D．Thomas is a British.

After having spent my first day sight-seeing in the town-center, I decided to lose my way deliberately on my second day, since I believed that this was the surest way of getting to know my way around. I got on the first bus that passed and descended some thirty minutes later in what must have been a suburb.

The first two hours passed pleasantly enough. I discovered mysterious little book-shops in back streets and finally arrived at a market-place where I stopped and had coffee in an open-air calf. Then I decided to get back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about aimlessly for some time, I determined to ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived — and even that I pronounced badly.

I stopped to asked a friendly-looking newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he thrust the paper into my hands. Seeing that it would be impossible to argue about the matter, I gave him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was an old lady who was buying vegetables. She was very hard of hearing and I repeated the word several times. When she finally heard me, she seemed to take offence and began shouting and shaking her walking-stick at me. I hurried away quickly and was relieved to see a policeman on a corner. He certainly would be able to help me. The policeman listened attentively to my question, smiled and gently took me by the arm. There was a distant look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. He glanced at me for approval, and repeated the performance. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed. About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and green fields were appearing on either side on me. I had come all the way into the country. The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway-station!

The writer intentionally lost his way because ______.

A．he didn't know the city and couldn't speak a word of the local language

B．he wanted to know this strange city by walking about

C．he got on a wrong bus that passed

D．he descended at a distant suburban bus-stop
