21、   James Harrison has donated blood from his right arm, nearly every week for the past 60 years. The reason can date back a serious medical operation.

At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.

More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.

“Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James’ in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.

“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.

Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.

【1】What do we know about James Harrison?

A.He is to retire as a blood donor. B.He saved 2.4 million poor people.

C.He donates blood nearly every day. D.He is a very grateful blood donor.

【2】What is the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph 5?

A.To describe how Harrison’s donations come to an end.

B.To introduce some babies saved by Harrison’s blood.

C.To state Harrison’s decision to continue donating blood.

D.To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.

【3】What can we infer from the passage about Harrison?

A.New donors are easy to find in a short time.

B.He continues to contribute to the Rh program.

C.His DNA is kept in a library for future study.

D.After his retirement, the Rh program will fail.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.A Unique Man with a Rare Blood Type B.A Special Blood Type Donor to Retire

C.The Man with the “Golden Arm” D.The Blood Saving Millions of Babies

22、How to Survive Being Stuck in a Lift

Being stuck in a lift, also known as an elevator, can sometimes be scary, especially if you are a fan of those kinds of movies which have a lot of elevator tragedies. You may think being stuck in an elevator in real life is not like in the movies. 【1】

Remain calm and do not panic! You may have heard of this a lot of times and it is true that panicking will do you no good. 【2】

Press each of the floor buttons one by one. Then, try the “doors open” button. If none of the buttons works, the lift is broken, and you need to let someone know about it.

See if your phone has any reception or Internet. 【3】 If you have WiFi connection, contact a family member or friend. Don’t forget to tell them what the address is of the building and possibly which elevator you are stuck in. If your phone is not available, the following tips can help you.

Look through the gap between the doors of the lift. If you can see light between the doors, the lift has stopped near a floor, and you should be able to shout for help and be released. Do not try to force the doors open yourself. If you can’t see light between the doors, the lift has stopped between floors, and no one will be able to let you out if you scream for help. Look for an emergency telephone. If there is no telephone, press the alarm button repeatedly. 【4】

【5】 If you have waited for more than half an hour and nobody has come to get you out, shout and bang the inside walls of the lift. If no one is responding to you, then you’ll have to accept that you will be in the lift overnight. If this happens, make yourself as comfortable as possible to save your energy. By morning, the building should be full again. You can try to get some help then.

A. Check the time.

B. It will cause you not to be able to think clearly.

C. Eventually, someone should hear you and get help.

D. Here are some tips to help you survive.

E. However, it is still a vital thing to know how to survive if it ever happens to you.

F. If you do have reception, call emergency services.

G. Use your watch.

23、   University-the best days of my life!I made lots of friends in my student dorm，went to great parties，joined the debating society…and，well，I did some work too--but I must admit my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness（拖拉）．

It's easy to look back at our university days through rose-tinted spectacles but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus，most of us were out of our comfort zone．

In fact，a survey of students at Imperial College London has revealed that 3out of 4students experience high levels of stress，or a mental health condition，during their time at college．The survey，completed by over a thousand students，also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week，and 9% of students feel stressed constantly．

Kirsty，a student at Exeter University，didn't enjoy her first days in college．She says："When I first got to university I don't think I'd realized that I'd forgotten how to make friends．I'd been with the same school friends for seven years，and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite a young age．"

Dr Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunel University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university．She says："Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life--to do the washing，to do the cleaning and so on-being able to cook．Budgeting is extremely important in university life．"And Caleb adds："You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably．"

I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way．I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump．

【1】What did Kirsty find most difficult to do during her first days in college？

A.Not knowing how to make new friends． B.Not realizing the importance of making friends．

C.Looking after herself at quite an early age． D.Trying to achieve academic success．

【2】Which of the following tips are helpful or important EXCEPT ______ according to Dr．Ruth Caleb？

A.having the ability to cook B.being able to do the cleaning

C.learning how to spend money on one's own D.balancing social success and academic success

【3】Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？

A.During the first few days at college for new students，most of them felt comfortable．

B.According to a survey，most students at Imperial College London suffered from stress at college．

C.The lecturers are always tolerant of college students' improper behavior．

D.Acquiring some life skills isn't that important to new students．

【4】What does the author probably mean by saying"I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way"？

A.He quickly adapted to the new environment when he first arrived on campus．

B.He graduated from college with many achievements．

C.It might have taken him some time to get used to college life．

D.It might have made him proud by leading an independent life at college．

24、Engineers should embrace（接受） the arts，Sir John O'Reilly，a fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology，argued in a lecture．

About 59% of engineering companies in the IET's 2014 survey feared skill shortages could threaten（威胁） business．

"There is nothing as creative as engineering," Sir John told the reporter．He says science，technology，engineering and mathematics - often known as "Stem" subjects，are vital for a modern knowledge economy．But there is a massive shortfall in the number of recruits（招聘） - with a recent study by the Royal Academy of Engineering saying the UK needs to increase by as much as 50% the number of Stem graduates it produces．

Delivering this year's Mountbatten Lecture at the Royal Institution，Sir John argued that engineers should recognise the role of the arts in their work - among other benefits; this could attract more people into the profession．The lecture，Full Steam Ahead for Growth，advocated a wider adoption  -- Steam，or science，technology，engineering，arts and maths．Engineers should embrace the arts as being key to creativity and an important component of innovation（创新），crucial to creating new products and boosting future competitiveness，he argued． "Engineering and technology is an increasingly diverse and creative field," said Sir John．

Some university engineering departments already cooperated with art schools to develop understanding，he told the reporter．In particular he mentioned Cranfield University's Centre for Creative Competitive Design and Imperial College's work with the Royal College of Art．The two sets of people could work well together and more emphasis on the creative side of engineering could improve the success of products，he said．

"Aesthetics(美学) is part of it," he told the reporter，adding that Apple's iPod was not the first digital media player，nor the only one that worked - but it came to dominate the market "because it was nice to have"．

Sir John said he was not suggesting universities started requiring A-level art from engineering applicants - the key subjects for admission would continue to be maths and the sciences．But an emphasis on creative skills would help "broaden the pool and attract more people in"．

【1】According to a recent study by the Royal Academy _______ ．

A. skill shortages could threaten business

B. engineering graduates are not as creative as expected

C. there are not enough arts graduates produced in the UK．

D. the UK needs more graduates in science，technology，engineering and mathematics

【2】According to the lecture Full Steam Ahead for Growth，_______ ．

A. engineers should cooperate with arts majors

B. Accepting the arts could attract more people into engineering

C. engineers should realize arts play the most important part in their work

D. engineering and technology is as diverse and creative as before

【3】By giving the example of Apple's iPod，Sir John intends to _______ ．

A. stress the importance of arts

B. stress the importance of marketing

C. stress the importance of communication

D. stress the importance of science and technology

【4】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. More university students should study arts instead of engineering．

B. Engineering and technology is increasingly different and unrelated fields．

C. The IET's skills survey raised concerns about the number of recruits to engineering．

D. Students from some university engineering departments have already transferred to art schools

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Lack of creativity makes it difficult for the engineering major to find a satisfactory job．

B. The key subjects for engineering majors remain to be maths and the sciences rather than arts．

C. University engineering departments should cooperate with art schools to improve the success of products．

D. Engineering needs to emphasize its creative side to encourage more young people to choose it as a career．
