In the fifteenth century in Nuremberg ,lived a family with eighteen children .They were so poor that two children ,who wanted to pursue their talent for  41  , knew their father would never be  42  able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
So they tossed（掷）a coin. Albrecht Durer, the younger,  43  the toss and went off to Nuremberg .Albert went down into the dangerous 44   and ,for the next four years ,financed his brother , who did so well that his works were even better than those of most of his  45 . By the time he graduated ,he was beginning to earn  46  fees by drawing for wealthy people.
When Albrecht returned home, at dinner he drank a  47  to his beloved brother for the years of    48  that had enabled him to fulfill his  49 . He said, "Albert ,my blessed brother ,now it is your      50  to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream ,and I will take care of you."
With tears in his eyes ,Albert held his hands close to his right cheek and said, "No ,brother. I cannot go . Look... look what four years in the mines have done to my  51  ! The bones in every finger have been  52  at least once. Lately I have been suffering from arthritis（关节炎）so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a  53 to return your toast ,much less make delicate lines with a pen or a brush. No ,brother... for me it is too  54  ."
Deeply moved ,Albrecht painstakingly drew his brother's  55  hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward .He called his powerful drawing  56  "Hands" , to which the entire world immediately opened their hearts and later they  57 it "The Praying Hands."
The next time you see a copy of that  58  creation, take a second look. Let it be your  59  ,if you still need one ,that no one ever makes it  60   !

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分）
阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
For many years ,I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared ,it would take old wounds, hurts ,and rejections with it.
Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix
everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved ,being special ,and being cherished .We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then ,at last ,we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so , we continue to believe that next time it will be different .Next time ,we will keep it off. Next time ,being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness ,self-worth ,and ,of course ,love.
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty . Beauty standards vary with culture .In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weights more than 200 pounds .More importantly ,if it's happiness that we want , why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves ,the whole world changes.

A.body size           B.attitudes toward life

Growing up the daughter of an outstanding educator, Andrea Peterson knew at a young age that she wanted to serve others. It was with this mindset that she started to pursue a degree in medicine. However ,while visiting her brothers who were away at college studying music education, she realized that she too was drawn to teach music.
In her ten years at Granite Falls, she has revitalized the music programs at both the elementary and high school levels,to the extent that an additional music faculty member was hired by the district to assist with the workload. The growth of the music program in Granite Falls School District has encouraged students to participate in county ,state ,and national music competitions ,and won numerous prizes for the district.
Teaching music is only part of Peterson's instruction－it serves as a vehicle to other areas .
"Music is an amazing tool to unlock students' potential. The most visible benefit from their success in music is their increased confidence and self-esteem," Peterson said. "However, I don't believe it is the only benefit, nor the most powerful. It is truly exciting to see how my music teaching can transfer back to other classrooms." With this philosophy, Peterson introduced a cross-curriculum program ,wherein she takes lessons taught in other classes, such as English and math ,and expands upon them in an eight-week unit.
One of the most popular projects in Peterson's classes in the creation and performance of a musical, whereby students create a play from one of the books they have read in another class. Students work together to choose the music that best fits with the overall feel of the play and then perform it for the greater community. "Through Andrea's efforts these kids have helped to put Granite Falls, Washington, on the map for musical talents. Parents, staff ,and community members continue to be in awe of what she is able to bring forth from the children," said Debra Rose Howell, a colleague of Peterson's at Monte Cristo Elementary School.

At a laboratory in Germany ,volunteers slide into a machine and perform simple tasks, such as deciding whether to add or subtract two numbers , or choosing which of two buttons to press.
They have no idea that scientists in the next room are trying to read their minds-using a brain scan to figure out their intention before it is turned into action.
In the past ,scientists had been able to detect decisions about making physical movements before those movements appeared .But researchers at Berlin's Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience claim they have now , for the first time ,identified people's decisions about how they would later do a high-level mental activity-in this case ,adding versus subtracting.
While still in its initial stages ,the techniques may eventually have wide-ranging implications for everything from criminal questioning to airline security checks.
The research,which began in July 2005,has been of limited scope:only 21 people have been tested so far.And the 71 percent accuracy rate is only about 20 percent more successful than random selection.
Still ,the research conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig ,about 150 kilometers southwest of Berlin ,has been generating strong interest in the scientific community.
In one study ,participants were told to decide whether to add or subtract two numbers a few seconds before the numbers were flashed on a screen . Meanwhile ,a computer captured images of their brain waves to predict the subject's decision-with one pattern suggesting addition, and another subtraction.
The team ,headed by Haynes ,began its research by trying to identify which part of the mind was storing intentions. They discovered it was found in the prefrontal cortex region by scanning the brain to look for bursts of activity when subjects were given choices.
Then they went about studying which type of patterns were associated with different intentions.
"If you knew which thought signatures to look for ,you could theoretically predict in more detail what people were going to do in the future," said Haynes.
75.Which of the following is true about the experiment at the laboratory?
A.The volunteers are asked to perform very complicated tasks.
B.Everything was explained to the volunteers before the experiment.
C.The volunteers cannot see the scientists while performing the tasks.
D.The volunteers started the experiment by pressing one of the two buttons.
76.Which of the following demonstrates the major breakthrough made by the German scientists?
A.By studying the subjects' brain waves , they know what physical movements they'll make.
B.By studying the subjects' brain waves, they know what mental task they'll perform.
C.By studying criminals' brain waves ,they can help find out whether they are lying or not.
D.By studying passengers' brain waves ,they can help find out who intends to make trouble.
77.In the research which began in July 2005 only______subjects' brains were scanned and the accuracy rate was______.
A.21; 20%      B.71;20%       C.21;71%       D.20;71%
78.The group of scientists in Leiqzig were doing______what the group in Berlin were doing.
A.similar research to                  B.better research than
C.completely different things from        D.a less satisfactory job than
79.The term thought signatures in the last paragraph refers to______.
A.the subjects' intentions       B.the subjects' physical movements
C.parts of the human brain    D.the human brain wave patterns
80.From the information in the passage, it can be concluded that in the future______.
A.the intentions of people can be predicted accurately
B.it's impossible to predict accurately the intentions of people
C.no one in the world will dare to tell lies to other people
D.everyone will easily know what others are thinking about
