26、In the summer of 1885, nine-year-old Joseph Meister was very ill. He had been wounded by a sick dog that had rabies (狂犬病), a very dangerous disease. His parents were told that there was probably only one man who could save Joseph’s life—Louis Pasteur.

When Pasteur was a young boy in France, he spent many hours every day with the chemist (药剂师) who lived in his small town. At that time, the chemist had to make all the medicines himself. Young Louis enjoyed watching the chemist as he worked and helped those people who came to him each day.

As a school boy, Pasteur worked slowly and carefully. At first, his teachers thought that young Louis might be a slow learner. Through elementary school, high school, and college, Pasteur worked in the same thoughtful way. Then he became a college professor and a scientist, and he continued to work very carefully.

Pasteur was studying about the germs (细菌) that cause rabies when Joseph Meister became ill. In fact, Pasteur believed he had a medical treatment for rabies, but he had never given it to a person before. At first, Pasteur was afraid to treat Joseph, but the poor child was dying. Pasteur gave Joseph an inoculation (预防接种) every day for ten days. Slowly, the child became better.

During his lifetime, Pasteur studied germs and learned how they cause diseases in animals and people. He developed vaccinations (疫苗) that prevent many of these diseases. On September 28, 1895, Louis Pasteur passed away, at the age of 72. The work of this great man has been of great help to modern medicine.

【1】The story of Joseph Meister is given to ________.

A．express the author’s sadness

C．show some common diseases in 1885

D．warn children to stay away from dogs

【2】According to the text, young Louis ________.

A．was once badly hurt by a dog

B．was very interested in medicine

C．made a living by working for a chemist

D．had been highly thought of by his teachers

【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A．Louis Pasteur was always patient.

B．Louis Pasteur was clever but proud.

C．Louis Pasteur was a slow learner.

D．Louis Pasteur was a humorous professor.

【4】Which would be the best title for the text?

A．Germs and diseases

B．Rabies: a terrible disease

D．Louis Pasteur: a great scientist

27、People often recommend planting trees to make cities greener, cleaner and healthier. But during heat waves, city trees can actually increase air pollution. Indeed, a new study finds that up to 60% of the ozone (臭氧) in a city’s air on hot days may have its origin in chemicals released by trees.

City trees offer a host of benefits. They provide cooling shade, absorb carbon dioxide, and also release oxygen into the air. But oxygen is far from the only gas that trees and certain other green plants release into the air. One of these chemicals is a hydrocarbon(碳氢化合物) that can react with burning pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides (氮氧化合物). The result is the formation of ozone which can cause airway diseases.

Galina Churkina works in Germany at Humboldt University of Berlin. She and her team wanted to explore how much chemicals released by trees could affect city air. To do this, the researchers turned to a computer. They asked it to model the likely reactions between plant chemicals and nitrogen oxides in air throughout the Berlin city area. To do that, the researchers fed in local weather data for two summers. One was 2006, when there was a heat wave. The other was 2014, when temperatures were mild.

An average daily high there in summer tends to be at roughly 25℃. On such a day, chemicals released by area greenery would likely have contributed to making about 6 to 20 percent of the ozone in the city’s air. But during a heat wave, when temperatures are more than 30℃ , tree-chemical emissions (发出物) are also high. As a result, they are now likely to be responsible for up to 60 percent of the ozone in air.

Churkina says her team was not surprised to see the contrary relationship between plants and pollution. The results, Churkina says, suggest city tree-planting programs should not ignore the role this greenery may play in bad summer air pollution. Adding more trees will improve quality of life only if those cities also undertake plans to sharply cut vehicle pollution (汽车污染).

【1】What might people think of the new study finding?

A．Reasonable.

B．Intelligent.

C．Surprising.

D．Disappointing.

【2】How does ozone come about according to the author?

A．It is released by trees and other green plants.

B．It directly comes from the burning of oxygen.

C．A part of nitrogen oxides results in ozone in the end.

D．It is from the chemical reaction between a hydrocarbon and burning pollutants.

【3】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A．The higher the temperature is, the more ozone forms.

B．There’re no emissions of chemicals in spring or autumn.

C．Churkina suggests the number of city trees be lessened.

D．Churkina was surprised at seeing the contrary finding first.

28、My school stood in a big square playground in southeastern South Dakota. One teacher taught all grades, first through eighth. Most grades had only two or three students.

Our school day started with the flag pledge (宣誓). Then the teacher called one grade at a time to the recitation bench beside her desk. At noon we ate lunches we had brought. Our lunches were made up of homemade sandwiches and if we were lucky, dessert. My favourite dessert was a fresh pear, and a piece of Mom’s delicious sour cream chocolate cake.

The annual Christmas programme was the most exciting part of the year. We hurried through our lessons during December to allow time to practise poems, songs, and plays.

A few days before the performance, the school board members borrowed equipment from the town and set up a stage across one side of the classroom. We hung bed sheets for curtains.

On the evening of the performance, petrol lanterns hanging along the walls cast a warm, though not very bright, light over the gathering crowd. We could hardly control our excitement as we looked from behind the curtains to wave at our parents.

On a spring Sunday in a new term, just before the last day of the school term, everyone in the neighborhood gathered for a picnic. Our moms set fried chicken, bowls of salads, and desserts on the teacher’s desk and the library table. After the dinner, we played games. One of the school board members brought big buckets of ice cream in the afternoon to top off the picnic. How we looked forward to that treat!

I was just nineteen years old when I started my first teaching position in a country school with thirteen students. I felt excited, nervous and happy as I prepared my lunch bucket the first morning of the term. I can’t remember what kind of sandwiches I packed, but I do remember I put in a fresh pear and a piece of chocolate cake for dessert!

【1】What can we learn about the school the author once attended?

A．It had few students.

B．It had no celebrations.

C．It had a small playground.

D．It had advanced teaching equipment.

【2】What can we infer from the description of the picnic?

A．The teacher performed many jobs.

B．The students liked hanging lanterns.

C．The local people supported the school.

D．School board members were not expected to attend it.

【3】Why does the author mention a pear and a piece of chocolate cake in the last paragraph?

A．These were easy items to pack in a lunch bucket.

B．They reminded her of her school life as a student.

C．Fruits and cakes were always good choices for dessert.

D．They were the only dessert she ate for lunch or dinner.

【4】Which of the following can best describe the author’s school life?

A．Disappointing.

B．Rewarding.

C．Stressful.

D．Colorful.

29、Robot: your future nurse

Dr. Pekomon, from the Yale university, has established an international team that coached a robot to copy natural human actions. 【1】. Over time this should contribute to great improvements in safety during operations because unlike the human doctors, robots will never tire and can complete an endless array of precise motions. The ultimate goal is not to remove all the doctors from the operating room, but to better it with a robots’ particular skills and benefits.

“I, as a roboticist, believe that robotic assistant and coworkers will surely change the whole market, but that won’t steal our job opportunities. 【2】.” Dr. Pekomon explained.

Dr. Pokemon’s team photographed a person conducting numerous different reaching actions, in a way similar to handing devices to a surgeon. These camera captures were stored into the computer network of a robotic arm, which is vital to controlling movements. Then, a human operator guided the robotic arm in copying the reaching actions that the human subject had initially performed. Although the robotic and human actions can’t be overlapped completely, they were broadly similar.

【3】.These observers determined whether the actions of the robotic arms were biologically inspired, which would indicate that their neural networks had effectively learned to imitate human behavior. About 80% of the time this is exactly what the human observers concluded.

These results are promising, although further research is necessary to confirm or refine Dr. Pekomon’s conclusions. If robotic arms can indeed imitate human behavior, it would be necessary to build conditions in which humans and robots can operate effectively in high stress environments like operating rooms. 【4】. Dr. Pekomon’s work is part of the growing field of healthcare robotics, which has the potential to change the way we receive health care sooner rather than later.

A．His work indicates that humans and robots can effectively cooperate during high-task events such as surgeries.

B．This future may not be what you think in your mind.

C．Robots can’t successfully imitate doctors motions in the operating room.

D．They will just allow us to decrease workload and achieve better performances in several tasks.

E．The nursing assistant for your next trip to the hospital will still be human beings.

F．Finally, several humans observed as the robotic arm made numerous motions.
