Immediately Arthur honed in on a large dish of tiramisu that no one else wanted. It was enough dessert for four people, and Arthur’s doctor had (52) _______ us about watching his sugar intake. “Please, Mom? Please!”I gave in. Arthur is autistic, and while he is extremely intelligent, he sometimes displays social quirks that cause moments of (53) _______. The tiramisu, I reasoned, was his (54) _______ for accompanying me to the dinner and charmingly chatted with my colleagues until it was time to go home. As he walked happily beside me (55) _______ the parking lot with the treat, he stopped next to our car to look at something. Standing about five feet away was a gentleman bent into his thin jacket, stomping his feet and rubbing his hands together in an attempt to (56) _______ off the cold. Every few seconds he (57) _______ and tried to speak to the people who were walking by without paying him any attention.

Here, you can have mine.”The man’s eyes began to shine as Arthur described the many (62) _______ of this wonderful dish, and told him how he should eat it. I blinked back tears as I watched the man’s smile broaden even more in (63) _______ because I knew his joy wasn’t about tiramisu.I thought about how many people had (64) _______ this man as he walked the streets that day.

Part 3: Reading Comprehension IDirections: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice (2 mark each).ADear Colleagues,We are writing ahead of the coming norovirus season to ask for your help this winter, to reduce the spread of norovirus. We hope the following points will help you to advise your members about norovirus infection (感染) and its potential consequences. As you will know, norovirus typically causes vomiting (呕吐) and/or diarrhea (腹泻). It can spread rapidly in closed environments like schools. However, most people do not require treatment and recover at home within one or two days. Norovirus is easily spread from person to person and by consuming infected food or water or by contact with infected surfaces or objects. If a student or teacher develops symptoms of norovirus, please help to avoid further spread in school by reminding them or the parents of the students of the following points. People with symptoms of norovirus should: stay away from work or school until free of symptoms for at least 48 hours. drink plenty to replace lost water. If symptoms continue (more than 48 hours), phone the GP or NHS Direct 0845 46 47 for advice. wash hands thoroughly with soap and water regularly, particularly after toilet visits and before eating. Alcohol hand gel (洗手液) is not effective against norovirus. avoid visiting friends or relatives in hospital as there is a real risk of spreading the infection to others. stay at home, keep clean, particularly hand washing, and avoid contact with others where possible. do not handle or prepare food for other people until symptoms free for at least 48 hours. as you may know, the elderly and the very young can sometimes get a more severe infection, call the GP or NHS Direct 08454647 for advice.Information on norovirus infection is available on the Health Protection Agency website or by visiting www.hpa.org.uk/Topics/InfectiousDiseases/InfectionsAZ/Norovirus/.Thank you for your assistance.Yours faithfully,Dr. Virginia PearsonJOINT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC HEALTH71.
