26、A Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa, will be the first man to fly on a SpaceX rocket for an about seven-day trip around the Moon as early as 2023, and he plans to bring six to eight artists along.
Maezawa, 42, will have been the first moon traveller since the last US Apollo task in 1972. He paid a large amount of money for the trip. “Ever since I was a kid, I have loved the Moon,” he said. “This is my lifelong dream.”
Maezawa is CEO of Japan's largest online fashion mall. He is the founder of ZOZO,a global company based in Japan where people can buy clothing online. His another hobby is collecting valuable works of modern art.
His love for art led him to decide to invite artists to come along. He said, “I would like to invite six to eight artists from around the world to join me on this mission to the Moon. They will be asked to create something after they return to the earth. These masterpieces will inspire the people who have dreams.”
The first space tourist was Dennis Tito, an American businessman who in 2001 paid some 20 million dollars to fly on a Russian spaceship to the International Space Station.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk described Maezawa as the bravest and best adventurer. “He stepped forward,” Musk added. “We are honored that he chose us.” Musk said he would not make known the price for the Moon trip, but said it would be “free for the artists”.
“This is dangerous, to be clear. This is no walk in the park,” Musk warned. “There is a chance something could go wrong.”

27、 “One reason I can do stand-up comedy is because of all the material I have from being a male nurse,”says Adrian Matei. False stereotypes(刻板观念)about nursing make for good jokes. But they may also put men off the job.
At a conference in May of the royal college of Nursing(RCN),David Ferran,a nurse in Belfast,proposed a campaign to promote nursing to men. His proposal did not pass as the view was that nursing should be intended for anyone with the right skills,whatever the gender(性别).
Undeterred,Mr. Ferran started a group,Northern lreland Men in Nursing,which visits schools to promote nursing as a career for men. Similar groups are being set up elsewhere. Several universities have launched social-media campaigns to draw men into nursing programmes.
With a growing decline of nurses across the National Health Service(NHS),attracting men is becoming more urgent. In 2017,for the first time in a decade,more nurses left the profession than joined. Applications to nursing programmes are down by a third since 2016. And the shadow of Brexit makes it tougher for the NHS to fill its 40,000-odd nurse vacancies from abroad. Doubts about whether they will be able to stay discourage nurses from EU countries.
Last month the NHS launched its biggest-ever nurse recruitment(招募)campaign. TV advertisements show them in action in hospital wards and ambulances,and on home visits. Some are male-an improvement from previous campaigns,but not enough to draw men in. Paul Vaughan from NHS England,who leads a proposal to change concepts of nursing,thinks recruitment should avoid playing to gender stereotypes. He takes a negative view of slogans like "Are you man enough to be a nurse?" used in the campaign.
Views of nursing as a "woman's job" have deep roots. Florence Nightingale, who established the principles of modern nursing in the 1860s, insisted that men's rough hands were not fitted to touch, bathe and dress wounded limbs. The RCN did not even admit men as members until 1960. Outdated titles such as "sister" and "matron" (used for men as well) do not help. Mr. Ferran says some patients are surprised when he shows up, because they thought only women could be nurses.
Boys do not see nursing as a career because they lack role models. In films, female nurses are cast as helpers of heroic male doctors. "When I do ward rounds with my nurse mentor and she asks questions, patients often tum to me to respond" says Richard Dowell, a third-year nursing student. On the other hand, those men who go into nursing usually follow in the footsteps of a parent or realize that it could be a career after seeing a male nurse care for a relative.
Mr. Vaughan's team at the NHS is trying to promote the image of nursing by stressing that it is a professional job in which careers can be made, that it includes special skills such as cardiology or intensive care, and that it has a use for skills in technology and leadership. Most young people also do not realize that the job can take them round the world. For men, there is another bonus. According to his study of more than 20,000 advanced nurse practitioners, men reach the seventh band(a mid-career level) four years sooner than women partly because women are twice as likely as men to work part-time and are more likely to accept a lower band to secure a job they really want. As Mr. Dowell remembers, when he started his nursing studies, he was promised:" You'll go further because you are a man. "

28、It was late one evening. I can’t remember what it was about, but my Dad and I had a very big argument when my mother was away. We both said things we didn’t mean, and in the end I said, “I’m leaving.” And he said, “Good. The sooner, the better.”
I threw a few things in the suitcase and closed the door violently behind me, not knowing where I was going. After walking aimlessly for 20 minutes, I stopped at a local supermarket. Then my phone rang. It was my mom calling. She said, “Hey, Mary. Where are you? Dad is worried about you.”
“How can he worry about me? I’ve been away for nearly half an hour, but he didn’t call.” I said with annoyance. My anger returned and I remembered all the hateful things he’d shouted to me. “Listen, Mom. You can tell Dad that I’m fine. I’ll call you tomorrow.” I said and hung up.
I walked around the supermarket, trying to get my thoughts together. By the time I paid for my purchases, it had been much later than I used to be out alone. When I left the supermarket, a large piece of white paper was in front of me. On the piece of white paper were these words: “Please come home! I miss you and I’m worried about you!”
Then a car pulled up beside me. Hanging out of the window was my Dad. Besides him, smiling gently, sat my mom. And that’s when I started laughing. I laughed so hard that I cried. Despite(尽管) my best effort to run away from home, my father finally managed to track me down. I couldn’t leave now, not with him sitting there with caring eyes.

29、A strong coffee after a poor night's sleep is the kick-start many people need in the morning but new research suggests that it might be best to have a bite to eat first.
A study has found that drinking coffee first can have a negative effect on blood sugar control - a risk factor for diabetes (糖尿病)and heart disease.
“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee --- subjectively the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee,“ said Professor James Betts, at the University of Bath in the UK.
For their study, researchers at the University of Bath got 29 healthy men and women to take part in three different overnight experiments, with at least a week between them.
In one, the participants had a normal night's sleep, roughly from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., and were asked to consume a sugary drink on waking in the morning. They then experienced an interrupted night's sleep, where the researchers woke them every hour for five minutes by sending them text messages to which they had to respond — and upon waking were given the same sugary drink.
On another night, participants experienced the same sleep interruption, but this time were first given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before consuming the sugary drink.
They found that one night of interrupted sleep did not worsen the participants' blood sugar and insulin (胰 岛素)responses when compared to the normal night's sleep-- although previous research suggested that losing many hours of sleep or many nights of poor sleep could have a negative effect. However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast actually increased the blood sugar response by around 50% — suggesting that relying on coffee after a bad night to stop feeling sleepy could limit your body's ability to tolerate the sugar in your breakfast.
【1】What does the underlined word “kick-start" in paragraph 1 refer to?

B.A normal night's sleep.
C.An interrupted night's sleep.
D.A cup of strong black coffee.
【4】How did researchers draw the conclusion?
A.By comparing the results.
B.By listing some examples.
C.By surveying the participants.
D.By referring to some documents.

The Internet E-commerce and globalization are making a new economic age possible. In the future, capitalist markets will largely be replaced by a new kind of economic system based on 【1】 relationships, contractual arrangements and access rights.
Has the quality of our lives at work, at home and in our communities increased in direct proportion to all the new Internet and business-to-business Internet services being introduced into our lives? I have asked this question of hundreds of CEOs and corporate executives in Europe and the United States. Surprisingly, virtually everyone has said, “No, quiet 【2】.” They say they are working longer hours, feel more stressed, are more impatient, and are even less civil in their dealings with colleagues and friends-not to mention strangers. And what’s more revealing, they place much of the blame on the very same technologies they are so 【3】 supporting.
The technological leader promised us that access would make life more convenient. Instead, the very technological wonders that were supposed to 【4】 us have begun to enslave us in a web of connections from which there seems to be no easy 【5】.
If an earlier generation was preoccupied with the quest to enclose a vast 【6】 land, the .com generation, it seems, is more caught up in the colonization of time. Every spare moment of our time is being filled with some form of commercial connection, making time itself the 【7】 of all resources.
And while we have created every kind of labor-and time-saving device to service our needs, we are beginning to feel like we have less time available to us than any other humans in history. Maybe we need to ask what kinds of connections really 【8】 in the e-economy age. If this new technology 【9】 is only about super efficiency, then we risk losing something even precious than time-our sense of what it means to be a(n) 【10】 human being.

39、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As a language arts teacher, I think it my duty to teach my kids how to use our tools of words well. Use your tool right—this is what I always tell them. But I never expected to learn that lesson from them.
I clearly remembered it was my 40th birthday. On that day, my sixth-grade students were seated in a large circle, each holding a different tool in their hand—a hammer, a flashlight, a screwdriver, etc. The students discussed how words are like tools—they have the ability to build or to destroy, and they discovered how the right tool used at the right time for the right job can bring about great results. They freely shared personal stories of how they had experienced someone’s words used as a tool, to wound or to heal.
I watched and listened with a sense of satisfaction—the students were engaged, attentive, and enjoying the lesson. They got it! It was one of those times when I sat back and enjoyed the magic of being a teacher—to have the opportunity to watch young people discover a greater truth about life about each other, and about themselves. There was no better gift than that.
As we neared the end of that school day, one of my students, Laura, had an unexpected outburst of defiance(违抗) in class. Busy scribbling (涂画) in her exercise book, she refused to work with her group. I was aware from reading Laura's file that she had struggled with defiant behavior in previous years, but we had developed a good relationship and she was always a respectful, thoughtful, and positive contributor to our class. Her behavior caught me off guard. “I'm disappointed in you!" With a sharp tone, I asked her to excuse herself and told her I would visit with her in our next-door meeting room after school. She refused to leave and sat silently, staring at me angrily from the back of the room.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“This was NOT optional," I firmly told her, sounding unpleasantly bitter.

But the meeting room rang with her response “You're using your tool against me!”
