It was an extremely cold December night, and I had just settled into the living room sofa with a book when I heard a sharp knocking on the front door. The sound frightened me, mainly because it was 8:45 PM, quite dark outside, and I was alone. My husband had left two days before for a meeting. I sat thinking for a moment about who could be at my door at that hour. I live on a really quiet street on the North Shore about a block off the main road. Hours can go by without a car or pedestrian(行人)passing in front of my home, a small house that's more than 100 years old. Another moment passed. More sharp knocking. And then a face pressed against the square window in my front door, with which I made eye contact(接触). A woman's face. She was saying something, but I couldn't make it out. I wish I could say that the first thing I wanted to do was to jump off the sofa to help this woman, but I hesitated(犹豫)because of all the bad stories about women who open their doors to strangers. What went through my mind was this: What if I open the door and she isn't alone but has an accomplice(同伙)hiding behind that big plant, and then they both come in and kill me? Still, I opened the door. If I was killed, I had had a good life. She ran into my living room "Gracias. My phone---is dead." Speaking mostly Spanish, but intermixed with bits of English, the woman indicated(暗示)that she was lost, that her phone was dead and that she needed to call her sister who was supposed to have picked her up at the train station but hadn't. So she had decided to try and walk to her sister's but had gotten completely lost in the dark. I offered to make her some tea while we waited for her phone to charge enough so that she could show me her sister's address. 【1】Why does the author mention her surroundings in Paragraph 2? A.To show off her wealth and social position. B.To stress her house can seldom be visited. C.To express her satisfaction with her life. D.To explain how to find her house easily. 【2】How did the author react to the knocking? A.She turned a deaf ear to it. B.She answered it immediately. C.She asked her husband for advice. D.She thought twice before opening the door. 【3】What can we learn about the stranger? A.She mistook her sister's address. B.She was a native English speaker. C.She meant to turn to the author for help. D.She got in touch with her sister just recently. 【4】Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story? A.Unusual. B.Relaxing.

Have you ever dreamed of meeting top scientists in person? If so, what would you want to ask them? For Tan Fanglin, a 15-year-old girl from No.2 High School of East China Normal University in Shanghai, her dream of meeting top scientists has already come true. In October, she attended the World Laureates Forum(论坛)for a second time. Tan was by far the youngest participant among the scientists invited to be at the meeting of the world's sharpest minds. Her discovery about the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence(菲波那契数列)and Bézout numbers has won her many prizes in youth innovation competitions. This finding has been praised by the famous Canadian mathematician, Professor Rankin. According to Guangming Daily, Rankin has been studying the same theme for five years but with no conclusions. From a very young age, Tan has always been fascinated by mathematics. This is largely because of the influence of her father, who teaches mathematics in University. But she had not participated in any Mathematics Olympiad exams before. According to Xu Jun, Tan's head teacher from her middle and high school, she doesn't take after-school classes or too many extra exercises either. Her mastering of Further Mathematics and her good grades in school are thanks to the right study method. Attending this forum enabled Tan to get more inspiration from top scientists. She asked Professor Miesenbock, the 2019 Warren Alpert Foundation Prize winner, what he considered were the best personal qualities for conducting scientific research. Miesenbock encouraged her not to lose her passion and love for what she does. He stressed that people all knew that even Thomas Edison went through hundreds of unsuccessful attempts before finally inventing the light bulb. Tan has met many barriers in her research and often feels upset. The words made Tan feel inspired. "I will keep my curiosity and interests in mathematics and overcome any obstacles(障碍)in my research," she told Chinese Business View. 【1】What does the underlined word "fascinated" in the third paragraph mean? A.threatened B.refused C.discovered D.attracted 【2】What do we know about Tan Fanglin? A.Tan has realized her dream of meeting top scientists. B.Tan is one of the youngest participants in the World Laureates Forum. C.When she was young，she took part in many Mathematics Olympiad exams. D.Tan's discovery has achieved a breakthrough after studying the theme for 5 years. 【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Tan has seldom met obstacles in her research. B.Tan often feels undefeated when meeting barriers. C.Inspired by Miesenbock, Tan is determined to overcome difficulties in research. D.Tan has the best personal qualities for conducting scientific research in Miesenbock's eyes. 【4】What's the best title for the passage? A.Top Minds Inspire Student. B.Failure is the Mother of Success. C.Loving What You Do, a Way to Success. D.The Elder One Grows, the More He Gets. |

Heart disease is one of the major killers in the world today. Many who suffer from it must have heart transplants (移植). However, it’s difficult to get a suitable heart donation, and even if a patient survives the wait, his or her body often rejects (排斥) the heart. But there is now new hope for sufferers of heart disease. According to a study published in the journal Advanced Science, researchers from Israel’s Tel Aviv University printed a 3D human heart on April 15. “This is the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart,” professor Tal Dvir told CNN. Unlike the previous 3D-printed heart structure, the new heart is complete with cells, blood vessels (血管), chambers (心室) and other structures a heart needs to function normally. But scientists still have more to figure out before the 3D-printed heart can be fitted into the body. For one thing, the experimental heart is only the size of a thumb (拇指). And, although it can contract (收缩) like a muscle, it cannot pump out blood like a real one. At present, the heart prototype (样品) is like a tiny airplane that has all of the right parts, but can’t fly. However, the development is still regarded as a major breakthrough in medicine. In the experiment, the researchers turned human fat tissue (脂肪组织) into human heart tissue with stem cell (干细胞) technology. The tissue was then turned into “bio-ink” for a 3D printer to ensure that tissue in the heart came from the patients themselves. So ideally, if it were to be placed in the body of someone in need of a transplant, there would be less risk of organ rejection. “Patients will no longer have to wait for transplants or take medications to prevent their rejection,” researchers told USA Today. “Instead, the needed heart will be printed, fully personalized (个性化的) for every patient.” But the scientists think that 3D printing can be used to create other human organs. They foresee a time when the 3D printing of organs will be an everyday medical practice. “Maybe, in 10 years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world and these procedures will be conducted routinely,” Dvir said. 【1】Why is the 3D-printed heart important? A.It will be used on a patient. B.It is the first 3D-printed heart. C.It will replace a heart donation. D.It has a complete heart structure. 【2】What problem do 3D-printed hearts have? A.They cost too much. B.They are too small. C.They can’t contract. D.They are hard to produce. 【3】Why would there be less risk of organ rejection with the 3D-printed heart? A.It would be made with stem cell technology. B.It would be made from human fat tissue. C.It would come from a patient’s body. D.It would be printed according to the patient’s condition. 【4】What attitude does Tal Dvir hold toward the future of 3D printing of organs? A.Confident. B.Doubtful. C.Worried. D.Confused. |

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 October usually marks the 【1】(begin) of a new season, but what you call that season depends 【2】where you are and whom you are. In the UK, people will tell you it's "autumn". However, you will find people use both "fall" and "autumn" interchangeably when 【3】(mention) this time of year in the US. Why does it have to be so 【4】(confuse)? According to Dictionary.com, "fall" isn't a modern nickname(昵称)【5】 followed. In Old English the season 【6】(call) "harvest" meaning that farmers would have a big harvest in this season. Then, in 【7】1600s, without farming, the term "harvest" 【8】(gradual) became less useful to city dwellers, so English speakers needed a different name for the season. They knew leaves fell from trees during the season, so people called 【9】"the fall of the leaf", or "fall" for short. But at the end of the 1600s, autumn, from the French word "autompne", came to England. It became more popular and took the place of "fall" as the word for the season. At the same time, British people were making their trips to North America, bringing the words "fall" and "autumn" with them. That's 【10】 today's Americans have two names for one season. |
