21、The current Ebola (埃博拉病毒)outbreak in western and central Africa has infected at least 3,069 people, including 1,552 dead, making it the largest outbreak in history. Ebola is a deadly virus-about 60 percent of people infected with it have died.

How is Ebola doing its harm?

When a person becomes infected with Ebola, the virus damages the body’s immune (免疫的)cells, which defend against infection, said a researcher at Lancaster University. But if a person’s immune system can stand up to this attack, then he is more likely to survive the disease.

The patients that survive it best are those who don’t get such a bad disadvantage in immune system. But if the body isn’t able to get rid of this attack, then the immune system becomes less able to regulate(调节) itself. This means the immune system is more likely to run out of control, leading to a drop in blood pressure, multi-organ failure and eventually death.

What are the common symptoms of the disease?

Fever. Headache. Joint and muscle aches. Weakness. Diarrhea. Vomiting. Stomach pain. Lack of appetite. Chills. Rash. Redness in the eyes. Hiccups. Cough. Sore throat. Chest pain. Difficult breathing or swallowing. Bleeding inside and outside of the body.

How to prevent the spread of Ebola?

Ebola can be spread primarily via direct contact with patients, specifically the blood and fluids of an infected patient.

We should avoid contact with infected patients and objects such as clothing, bedding, and needles used by them. Avoid areas where infections have been reported. For now, the disease has only been confirmed in central and West Africa, four cases in America and Europe. Avoid eating wild-caught bush meat. Researchers have suspected that the disease came to humans via animals, probably through the meat of primates(灵长类). If you’re in an area where the disease has been reported, avoid purchasing, eating, or handling wild game to stay on the safe side.

Wear protective medical clothing if you’re around infected patients. Extreme caution is necessary. Hospital workers must use masks, gloves, goggles, and gowns, which needed to be worn at all times if you’re around infected patients.

How Do People Survive Ebola?

Doctors don’t know for certain who will survive Ebola, and there is no specific treatment or cure for the disease. Although in the minority, some people do recover from infection.

Our suggestions include:

Maintain your electrolytes(电解质) and body liquid. Sports drinks can be used. Monitor your blood pressure and control it if necessary. Dropping blood pressure may be a serious sign of infection. Breathe in an oxygen-rich environment. Quickly address any symptoms of infection. Be honest about when and where you’re feeling pain.

【1】Ebola causes the death of a human being by .

A. attacking him with high fever   B. regulating his immune system

C. damaging his immune cells   D. harming all his organs directly

【2】What is NOT mentioned as the symptom of Ebola?

A. Fever and chills   B. Swallowing difficulty

C. Lack of appetite   D. High blood pressure

【3】In order not to be infected by Ebola, we should .

A. have the clothing of the infected cleaned

B. avoid eating wild animals like monkeys

C. not travel to Africa, America or Europe

D. stay at home without going anywhere

【4】It is true that .

A. a certain number of people survive Ebola

B. human has found a special cure for Ebola

C. oxygen can save infected people’s lives

D. low blood pressure is surely caused by Ebola

22、   When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden，carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier.Far happier.

These are the findings of a 40­year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society，”said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”

Vaillant's study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men's mental­health scores with their boyhood ­activity scores. Points were awarded for part­time jobs, housework, effort in school，and ability to deal with problems.

The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp．Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people，five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.

Working—at any age—is important.Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this.Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said，“One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work.”

【1】What do we know about John?

A.He enjoyed his career and marriage.

B.He had few childhood playmates.

C.He received little love from his family.

D.He was envied by others in his childhood.

【2】Vaillant's words in Paragraph 2 serve as ________．

A.a description of personal values and social values

B.an analysis of how work was related to competence

C.an example for parents' expectations of their children

D.an explanation why some boys grew into happy men

【3】Vaillant's team obtained their findings by ________．

A.recording the boys' effort in school

B.evaluating the men's mental health

C.comparing different sets of scores

D.measuring the men's problem solving ability

【4】What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?

A.Quick to react. B.Having a thin edge.

C.Clear and definite. D.Sudden and rapid.

23、NASA has launched a special spacecraft called Lucy. Lucy will take a 12-year trip to learn more about a group of asteroids(小行星) known as the Trojans.

Most of them are found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The first asteroid that Lucy will study lies in the asteroid belt. But the other seven asteroids, known as Trojan asteroids, are in an area of space that hasn't been visited before. Though the asteroids are very far away from Jupiter, to scientists’ surprise, they follow the same path that Jupiter takes around the Sun. Some travel ahead of Jupiter, others behind it.

In 1974,scientist Donald Johanson, with one of his students, discovered a 3.2 million-year-old skeleton(骨骼) of a human ancestor. He named the skeleton Lucy after the hit song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”. The current Lucy mission is named for the skeleton. The Lucy skeleton changed the way scientists understood human history. Scientists hope that studying these asteroids will help lead to similar changes in our understanding of how the solar system began around 4.5 billion years ago.

Lucy will fly near the first asteroid Donaldjohanson in 2025.To get there, Lucy must first go around the Earth twice. It will use the Earth's gravity like a slingshot(弹弓) to send itself out through the asteroid belt. From there, Lucy will continue on to visit a group of five Trojan asteroids that orbit the Sun ahead of Jupiter and study them in 2027 and 2028.Lucy will study these asteroids as it flies past them, sending pictures back to NASA.

Around 2030, it’ll make another return trip around the Earth. It’ll be the first spacecraft that’s gone to the outer part of the Solar System and returned. The final trip around the Earth will send it back out to the far side of the Sun by 2033 to study the two Trojan asteroids that orbit the Sun behind Jupiter.

【1】What’s special about Trojan asteroids?

A．They are in the asteroid belt.

B．They protect the solar system.

C．They share the orbit with Jupiter.

D．They are often visited by spacecrafts.

【2】Why does the author mention Donald Johanson?

A．To show he launched the Lucy mission.

B．To explain the value of the Lucy mission.

C．To say he named the mission after an asteroid.

D．To describe the process of discovering asteroids.

【3】What will Lucy do before visiting the two Trojan asteroids behind Jupiter?

A．Circle the Earth three times.

B．Follow Jupiter to find them.

C．Send its pictures to NASA.

D．Fly past the Sun in 2030.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．Lucy Will Cross the Asteroid Belt

B．Lucy Looks for Trojan Asteroids

C．Lucy Finds the Secret of Asteroids

D．Lucy Will Visit Eight Asteroids

24、In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social-progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: "I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try." What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistake belief that—one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

【1】What does this text mainly talk about?

A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.

B. People hold different opinions about competition.

C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.

D. Failures are necessary experience in competition.

【2】Some people favor competition because they think it ________.

A. pushes society forward

B. builds up a sense of pride

C. improves social abilities

D. develops people's relationship

【3】The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 refers to those who ________.

A. try their best to win

B. highly value competition

C. are strongly against competition

D. mostly rely on others for success

【4】Which viewpoint does the author agree to?

A. Self-worth relys on winning.

B. Competition leads to unfriendly relationship.

C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

25、“WELCOME TO HELL, LADIES!” says Mr. Smith, the _________ of the adult ballet class. I force a smile as he presses down on my stiff back, attempting to be a little more _________.

When I was a little girl, I _________ elegantly dancing across the stage like the Swan Princess. With several reasons, my hopes of taking ballet lessons were killed. But every so often, usually while watching a brilliant performance of Swan Lake, those little _________ of unfulfilled desire would speak up and say that I should take lessons before it’s too late.

And here I am—more than 50 years—finally _________ for it.

I’m an absolute _________, but 30 years older than the rest of the participants in the adult class. We are practising “port de bras,” a ballet term for the _________ of the arms. I flutter (挥动) my arms, awakening my inner _________, “Your hands, they look like claws of a chicken,” Mr. Smith _________, “No one wants to look at that. It’s ugly.” He points his finger at various body parts while __________ giving feedback, “Head up, neck long, chest proud, stomach in, back straight, bottom tight.” Every time he looks at me, I instantly know that I’ve missed something. So I take note of every previous adjustment to gain his approval.

After a few sessions, I find myself looking forward to taking ballet classes with a mix of anxiety and excitement. Between classes, I __________ my posture in every window I pass. I’m __________. My hands are less claw-like and my posture a little more straight. And I constantly imagine I’m on stage, holding the audience entirely in my __________.

26、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 mountains go, 1,642-foot Squaw Peak isn't particularly impressive. But its inviting views of western Massachusetts have tricked hikers into becoming content among its steep, slippery cliff's (悬崖), resulting in countless injuries and even deaths.

Henry Grant, a week shy of starting his freshman year at Ithaca College, respected Squaw Peak's record. As such, he stayed a good ten feet from the edge while waiting for his mother to catch up to him one day in August 2019. He watched 15 or so other hikers enjoy the splendid view; one hiker, around 60 and dressed in pink, was peeking over the lip of the high cliff with her husband.

When Grant's mother rejoined him, the two headed down the trail. Suddenly, he heard something frightening: “Paula! Paula!" a man yelled. Grant wheeled around. The woman in pink was nowhere to be seen. She'd fallen off the side of the mountain.

Several hikers immediately started looking for her, but their view was blocked by trees. Grant decided to lend a hand. After assuring his mother that he would be safe, Grand walked off the trail alone.

After 15 minutes of climbing over very large rocks, pushing past sharp brush, and slipping down patches of loose dirt, Grant spotted a figure about 25 feet above him. She was dressed in pink and crumpled in a kneeling position on a small rocky outcropping (露出地面的岩石). The woman had fallen about 75 feet. Incredibly, she was alive.

“Paula!" Grant shouted.“ Paula. Is that you?"

The woman hardly responded. Grant called 911 to report her location. He waited where he was for a bit, but she kept trying to move, and every time she moved, she slipped a little more. Afraid that in her confused state of mind she might fall off the outcropping to her death, Grant crawled on all fours up a tight, narrow path, gaining traction (牵引力) by digging into the dirt with his fingers and feet until he reached Paula.

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。

She was moaning (呻吟) and hardly making sense.
