B
It was late, about 10:15 p. m. Janice Esposito got off the train at Bellport, New York, went to her car and started driving home. She was so familiar with the route that she almost drove automatically. However, when Esposito's car had just crossed the railroad tracks—bam!, it hit another vehicle and was pushed back onto the tracks. Injured but mostly shocked by the crash and by the airbags that popped up, she was stuck in the vehicle.
As it happened, Pete DiPinto was just about to go to sleep when he heard a sharp noise. As a volunteer firefighter, he fetched a flashlight and rushed out without hesitation. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he said. “We're always on duty.”
After making sure that the driver was all right, DiPinto discovered Esposito's car straddling the railway tracks. And then he heard the bell ring, which signaled a train's arrival.
DiPinto rushed to Esposito's car and broke the window on the driver's side. Esposito looked up at him, with her eyes glazing over. “I don't know where 1 am,” she said.
“I have to get you off right now!” DiPinto yelled. The train was running toward them at a high speed. The driver's door cannot be opened due to the collision (硬撞), so DiPinto quickly ran to the other side and managed to open the door. He pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until finally got her out to safety. Several seconds later, the train crashed into the vehicle. “It was like a Hollywood movie,” DiPinto told reporters the next day.
“Last night,” said Gregory Miglino Jr, Chief of the Department in South Country Ambulance, “the hero arrived in pajamas (睡衣裤), not in a fire truck.”
39. What can we know about the accident from Paragraph 1
A. Esposito's car hit another vehicle.
B. Esposito drove too fast.
C. Esposito didn't know the route well.
D. A running train crashed into Esposito's car.
40. How was Janice Esposito right after the accident
A. She felt all right.
B. She was badly hurt.
C. She got stuck in the car.
D. She completely lost her consciousness.
41. How was Janice Esposito rescued from her car
A. Through the window on the driver's side.
B. Through the door on the driver's side.
C. Through the window on the passenger's side.
D. Through the door on the passenger's side.
42. What did Gregory Miglino Jr mean by “the hero arrived in pajamas, not in a fire truck
A. DiPinto was not a professional firefighter.
B. DiPinto rushed to save life without thinking about himself.
C. DiPinto was a special firefighter who liked wearing pajamas.
D. DiPinto was unable to find a fire ruck when the accident happened.
【答案】39. A 40. C 41. D 42. B
【解析】

【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第四句“However, when Esposito's car had just crossed the railroad tracks—bam!, it hit another vehicle and was pushed back onto the tracks.(然而，当Esposito的车横穿铁轨时——砰的一声，车撞到另一个车辆上，被弹回到铁轨上)”可知，Esposito的车与另一辆车相撞。故选A。

词句猜测题。根据第二段前两句 “As it happened, Pete DiPinto was just about to go to sleep when he heard a sharp noise.As a volunteer firefighter, he fetched a flashlight and rushed out without hesitation. (当他听到一阵尖锐的噪音时，他正要休息。作为一名志愿者消防员，他拿起手电筒，毫不犹豫地冲了出去)”可知，事故发生的时候，他正要休息。因此是穿着睡衣，直接冲出去救人。没有考虑自己。故选B。

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 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, 2019.
“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. 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.”
“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.
43. 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.
44. 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.
45. 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.
【答案】43. D 44. B 45. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述新的3D打印心脏的优缺点。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“the new heart is complete with cells, blood vessels(血管), chambers(心室) and other structures a heart needs to function normally.”（新心脏是完整的，有细胞、血管、心室和其它心脏正常运行所需要的结构。）可知，新的3D打印心脏有完整的心脏结构。故选D。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“the experimental heart is only the size of a thumb”（实验心脏只有大拇指那么大。）可知，新的3D打印心脏的问题是它太小了。故选B。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“In the experiment, the researchers turned human fat tissue(脂肪组织) into human heart tissue with stem cell(干细胞) technology... So ideally…there would be less risk of organ rejection.”（在实验中，研究者们用干细胞技术把人类的脂肪组织转变成心脏组织，因此理想情况下，器官排异的风险就会小了。）可知，器官排异的风险变小是因为心脏是使用了病人自己身体上的脂肪组织。故选C。
V. 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
If you step into a bookstore, you might notice a section(区域) labeled “self-help”. You might also notice that the section is getting bigger. That’s because more people are turning to self-help books for advice. The Guardian once reported that sales of these books in the UK rose by 20 percent, to a record high of three million books.
Self-help books try to guide readers through various life problems. Popular themes include getting along with coworkers, time management and finding happiness.
Different kinds of people write self-help books, including some celebrities, but usually these books are the work of psychologists(心理学家).
“People come into the shop and they're really fed up with things. They're looking for reassurances(安心) and peace of mind,” Paul Sweetman, the owner of City Books in the UK told the Guardian.
In addition, millennials-people born after 1980—tend to be more aware of their own flaws and shortcomings(缺点), according to US psychologist Caroline Beaton. This means they're more likely to feel a need to improve themselves. Self-help books may have the answers they're looking for.
Self-help books used to be something people laughed at. Many people didn't take “Chicken Soup stories” or “success theory” books too seriously. But now they’re more respected. “They're as good to read as any novel,” Sweetman said.
Whatever the reason for the increased interest in self-help books, it's nice to know that help is at hand if we need it. But are these books truly helpful Read one and find out.
46. What is the passage mainly about (no more than 12 words)
47. What do the “Self-help” books aim to do (no more than 12 words)
48. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean in English (no more than 8 words)
49. Why do people turn to “self-help” books according to Paul Sweetman (no more than 10 words)

47. To guide readers through various life problems
48. Tired of

50. I like JANE EYRE best because of her persistence in struggling for a happy life。

New events
Notah BegayⅢ Junior Golf National Championship
What does a junior golfer aim to pursue One thing is to be noticed, ideally by a college coach.

Gator Invitational
Junior golf intends to prepare for the following college golf. If this is the case, then it is crucial to simulate the higher-level experience as much as possible. Because of that, the Gator Invitational, as a junior boys' event, has made a significant decision on becoming a 54-hole event by adding a round this year. The new version will be played from March 13 to 15 at The Country Club of Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi.

It was late, about 10:15 p. m. Janice Esposito got off the train at Bellport, New York, went to her car and started driving home. She was so familiar with the route that she almost drove automatically. However, when Esposito's car had just crossed the railroad tracks—bam!, it hit another vehicle and was pushed back onto the tracks. Injured but mostly shocked by the crash and by the airbags that popped up, she was stuck in the vehicle.
As it happened, Pete DiPinto was just about to go to sleep when he heard a sharp noise. As a volunteer firefighter, he fetched a flashlight and rushed out without hesitation. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he said. “We're always on duty.”
After making sure that the driver was all right, DiPinto discovered Esposito's car straddling the railway tracks. And then he heard the bell ring, which signaled a train's arrival.
DiPinto rushed to Esposito's car and broke the window on the driver's side. Esposito looked up at him, with her eyes glazing over. “I don't know where 1 am,” she said.
“I have to get you off right now!” DiPinto yelled. The train was running toward them at a high speed. The driver's door cannot be opened due to the collision (硬撞), so DiPinto quickly ran to the other side and managed to open the door. He pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until finally got her out to safety. Several seconds later, the train crashed into the vehicle. “It was like a Hollywood movie,” DiPinto told reporters the next day.
“Last night,” said Gregory Miglino Jr, Chief of the Department in South Country Ambulance, “the hero arrived in pajamas (睡衣裤), not in a fire truck.”
39. What can we know about the accident from Paragraph 1
A. Esposito's car hit another vehicle.
B. Esposito drove too fast.
C. Esposito didn't know the route well.
D A running train crashed into Esposito's car.
40. How was Janice Esposito right after the accident
A. She felt all right.
B. She was badly hurt.
C. She got stuck in the car.
D. She completely lost her consciousness.
41. How was Janice Esposito rescued from her car
A. Through the window on the driver's side.
B. Through the door on the driver's side.
C. Through the window on the passenger's side.
D. Through the door on the passenger's side.
42. What did Gregory Miglino Jr mean by “the hero arrived in pajamas, not in a fire truck
A. DiPinto was not a professional firefighter.
B. DiPinto rushed to save life without thinking about himself.
C. DiPinto was a special firefighter who liked wearing pajamas.
D. DiPinto was unable to find a fire ruck when the accident happened.
