A woman who lost one leg to cancer is seeking to break a world record by completing 102 marathon runs.
Jacky Hunt-Broersma set her goal in mid-June. And since then, she has been running the distance of a marathon. Most of the time, she averages (平均) just over five hours to complete a run. If she keeps successfully completing marathon runs every day, she will reach her goal by September.
Until five years ago, she was not very active. But then she looked into running and decided to give it a try. The sport ended up being quite costly. Now, she runs on an artificial leg (义肢) made of a strong, light material, which is designed specially for running, costing about $10,000.
But Jacky says her investment has been well worth it. “Part of my body was gone. For me the biggest struggle was accepting my disability,” she told the reporter. “Running really changed my life,” she said. “It helped me accept myself as an amputee (截肢者). It gave me a sense of freedom. I fell in love with the process of pushing my body further just to see what I could do.”
However, she has faced both physical and mental difficulties during her record-breaking attempt. On one recent day, Jacky said she felt like giving up at 24 kilometers and began to cry. “I had a total emotional breakdown. I was like, ‘I just can’t do this.’ ” she said.
Jacky is documenting her progress online and has also gained a large social media following. As she nears the end of her goal, Jacky is hoping to inspire a single thought in others. She tells people, “You’re stronger than you think and you’re able to do so much more.”
36. What is Jacky’s goal according to Paragraph 1
A. To defeat a deadly disease.

Beer and eggs are commonly seen in the kitchen. However, scientists recently found that they were used in historic paintings, too.
To preserve Danish paintings, a group of researchers studied what was the composition of ancient paint or what it was made of. They did experiments on small pieces of paintings that had already been cut off from the original artwork.
According to their paper published in Science-Advances, grains and yeast (酵母) were found on the base of the paintings. Beer was the most common drink in the 19th century in Denmark, and its by-products were spent (用过已废的) grains and yeast.
The study showed that they were used to provide a stable painting surface. Researchers also pointed out that beer by-product was used as a “glue” because it had a lot of sugar. With beer added, the paint can also dry faster.
Apart from beer, egg has long been found in oil-based paints used by artists in the 15th century, such as Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci. A recent study published in Nature Communications may have “cracked” the secret of how eggs can help preserve artworks.
The researchers re-created the ancient paint by adding egg yolks (蛋黄) to oil paint. They then looked into how it changed over time. The findings showed that the proteins in the yolk helped to slow down the oxidation (氧化) of the paint and reduce wrinkling (皱褶) as the egg makes the paint more smooth.
However, the oil paint with added egg usually takes longer to dry. It seemed fine for artists. They were willing to accept that their work would be preserved for a longer period.
The more we understand how artists choose and use their materials, the more we can “appreciate what they’re doing”, Ken Sutherland, an expert at the Art Institute of Chicago, US, told Science News. Sutherland added that research like this could help people have a deeper understanding of the artworks.
41. What is the main purpose of the research mentioned in the passage
A. To find out how eggs can help to protect the artworks.
B. To study the history of beer and egg consumption in Denmark.
C. To explore the benefits of beer and egg consumption for artists.
D. To research the composition of ancient paint for protecting Danish paintings.
42. Why were beer by-products used in historic Danish paintings
A. To keep the paintings clean.
B. To help the colors stick better.
C. To give the painting a different look.
D. To make the paintings more colorful.
43. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Kept. B. Shared.
C. Controlled. D. Discovered.
44. How did yolk’s proteins help preserve artworks
A. By adding color to the paint.
B. By making the paint dry faster.
C. By wrinkling the paint with oil.
D. By slowing down the oxidation of the paint.
45. According to Ken Sutherland, the research like this provides .
A. preservation techniques for paintings
B. deeper understanding of the artworks
C more appreciation for artists’ materials
D. insights into the history of art materials

Dr. Witt is the medical director for the newborn intensive care unit (重症监护室) at Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital. It was 2 a. m. on October 9th,2017, and Dr. Scott Witt was at home with his family when he received a call from the hospital telling him that they were going to evacuate (疏散) the patients because a deadly wildfire was spreading.
Witt sent his wife and four children to safety at a nearby church but decided to head for the hospital since he needed to make sure his patents were safe. “The only way I could get there was to get on my motorcycle,” said Witt because the parts of the roads were impassable to big vehicles.“I had to skirt around (绕开) where the fire had spread to,” he said.
“The intensive care unit already smelled with a lot of smoke when I arrived and I wanted to move everybody to a parking lot without any fire in it,” Witt said. With the hospital staff’s help, Witt managed to evacuate all eight preemie babies (早产儿) into an ambulance that rushed them to a nearby hospital.
Even though Witt had done more than enough, he decided to follow the ambulance to make sure the babies made it to the hospital. “At one point, there was some live wire on the freeway,” Witt said.
After seeing the babies to safety, Witt went back to check on his home, which had been burned to the ground. But Witt is grateful that his family was unharmed. “We didn’t have any injuries; we were just happy to be together.”
Now, Wit t is being hailed as a hero for his bravery, but he insists he just did what be felt was right. “I feel like these babies are like my own babies,” Witt said.“I just wanted to make sure I was there to help them,” he said.

Jacky Hunt-Broersma set her goal in mid-June. And since then, she has been running the distance of a marathon. Most of the time, she averages (平均) just over five hours to complete a run. If she keeps successfully completing marathon runs every day, she will reach her goal by September.
Until five years ago, she was not very active. But then she looked into running and decided to give it a try. The sport ended up being quite costly. Now, she runs on an artificial leg (义肢) made of a strong, light material, which is designed specially for running, costing about $10,000.
But Jacky says her investment has been well worth it. “Part of my body was gone. For me the biggest struggle was accepting my disability,” she told the reporter. “Running really changed my life,” she said. “It helped me accept myself as an amputee (截肢者). It gave me a sense of freedom. I fell in love with the process of pushing my body further just to see what I could do.”
However, she has faced both physical and mental difficulties during her record-breaking attempt. On one recent day, Jacky said she felt like giving up at 24 kilometers and began to cry. “I had a total emotional breakdown. I was like, ‘I just can’t do this.’ ” she said.
Jacky is documenting her progress online and has also gained a large social media following. As she nears the end of her goal, Jacky is hoping to inspire a single thought in others. She tells people, “You’re stronger than you think and you’re able to do so much more.”

Beer and eggs are commonly seen in the kitchen. However, scientists recently found that they were used in historic paintings, too.
To preserve Danish paintings, a group of researchers studied what was the composition of ancient paint or what it was made of. They did experiments on small pieces of paintings that had already been cut off from the original artwork.
According to their paper published in Science-Advances, grains and yeast (酵母) were found on the base of the paintings. Beer was the most common drink in the 19th century in Denmark, and its by-products were spent (用过已废的) grains and yeast.
The study showed that they were used to provide a stable painting surface. Researchers also pointed out that beer by-product was used as a “glue” because it had a lot of sugar. With beer added, the paint can also dry faster.
Apart from beer, egg has long been found in oil-based paints used by artists in the 15th century, such as Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci. A recent study published in Nature Communications may have “cracked” the secret of how eggs can help preserve artworks.
The researchers re-created the ancient paint by adding egg yolks (蛋黄) to oil paint. They then looked into how it changed over time. The findings showed that the proteins in the yolk helped to slow down the oxidation (氧化) of the paint and reduce wrinkling (皱褶) as the egg makes the paint more smooth.
However, the oil paint with added egg usually takes longer to dry. It seemed fine for artists. They were willing to accept that their work would be preserved for a longer period.
The more we understand how artists choose and use their materials, the more we can “appreciate what they’re doing”, Ken Sutherland, an expert at the Art Institute of Chicago, US, told Science News. Sutherland added that research like this could help people have a deeper understanding of the artworks.
41. What is the main purpose of the research mentioned in the passage
A. To find out how eggs can help to protect the artworks.
B. To study the history of beer and egg consumption in Denmark.
C. To explore the benefits of beer and egg consumption for artists.
D. To research the composition of ancient paint for protecting Danish paintings.
42. Why were beer by-products used in historic Danish paintings
A. To keep the paintings clean.
B. To help the colors stick better.
C. To give the painting a different look.
D. To make the paintings more colorful.
43. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Kept. B. Shared.
C. Controlled. D. Discovered.
44. How did yolk’s proteins help preserve artworks
A. By adding color to the paint.
B. By making the paint dry faster.
C. By wrinkling the paint with oil.
D. By slowing down the oxidation of the paint.
45. According to Ken Sutherland, the research like this provides .
A. preservation techniques for paintings
B. deeper understanding of the artworks
C. more appreciation for artists’ materials
D. insights into the history of art materials
【答案】41. D 42. B 43. D 44. D 45. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。啤酒和鸡蛋在厨房里很常见，科学家通过研究发现它们也被以前的艺术家添加在绘画颜料中，用于保护画作。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“To preserve Danish paintings, a group of researchers studied what was the composition of ancient paint or what it was made of. They did experiments on small pieces of paintings that had already been cut off from the original artwork.(为了保存丹麦绘画，一组研究人员研究了古代绘画的成分或它是由什么制成的。他们在已经从原作上剪下来的小块画上做实验。)”可知，为了保存丹麦绘画研究人员研究了古代绘画的成分或它是由什么制成的；由此可知，这项研究的目的是研究古代绘画颜料的成分以保护丹麦绘画。故选D。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Researchers also pointed out that beer by-product was used as a ‘glue’ because it had a lot of sugar. With beer added, the paint can also dry faster.(研究人员还指出，啤酒副产品被用作‘胶水’是因为它含有大量的糖。加入啤酒后，颜料也能干得更快。)”可知，在丹麦的历史绘画中啤酒副产品起到“胶水”的作用，让颜料粘得更牢，此外加入啤酒后，颜料也能干得更快。故选B。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段“The researchers re-created the ancient paint by adding egg yolks (蛋黄) to oil paint. They then looked into how it changed over time. The findings showed that the proteins in the yolk helped to slow down the oxidation (氧化) of the paint and reduce wrinkling (皱褶) as the egg makes the paint more smooth.(研究人员通过在油画颜料中加入蛋黄，重现了这种古老的颜料。然后他们研究了它是如何随时间变化的。研究结果表明，蛋黄中的蛋白质有助于减缓颜料的氧化和减少褶皱，因为鸡蛋使颜料更光滑。)”以及第七段中“However, the oil paint with added egg usually takes longer to dry. It seemed fine for artists. They were willing to accept that their work would be preserved for a longer period.(然而，加入鸡蛋的油画颜料通常需要更长的时间才能干透。这对艺术家来说似乎还不错。他们愿意接受他们的作品将被保存更长的时间。)”可知，研究人员发现蛋黄中的蛋白质有助于减缓颜料的氧化和减少褶皱，加入鸡蛋的油画颜料通常需要更长的时间才能干透，让作品能够保存更长时间；由此可知，研究人员发现颜料中添加鸡蛋如何帮助保存画作，划线词所在句“A recent study published in Nature Communications may have “cracked” the secret of how eggs can help preserve artworks.(最近发表在《自然通讯》上的一项研究可能已经‘cracked’了鸡蛋如何帮助保存艺术品的秘密。)”表达的意思是：最近发表在《自然通讯》上的一项研究可能已经破解了鸡蛋如何帮助保存艺术品的秘密；划线单词cracked为“破解，发现”的意思，与D项Discovered“发现”意思一致。故选D。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“The findings showed that the proteins in the yolk helped to slow down the oxidation (氧化) of the paint and reduce wrinkling (皱褶) as the egg makes the paint more smooth.(研究结果表明，蛋黄中的蛋白质有助于减缓颜料的氧化和减少褶皱，因为鸡蛋使颜料更光滑。)”可知，蛋黄中的蛋白质通过减缓颜料的氧化来帮助保存艺术品。故选D。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Sutherland added that research like this could help people have a deeper understanding of the artworks.(Sutherland补充说，这样的研究可以帮助人们更深入地了解这些艺术品。)”可知，Ken Sutherland认为这样的研究可以帮助人们更深入地了解这些艺术品。故选B。

It was 2 a. m. on October 9th,2017, and Dr. Scott Witt was at home with his family when he received a call from the hospital telling him that they were going to evacuate (疏散) the patients because a deadly wildfire was spreading.
Witt sent his wife and four children to safety at a nearby church but decided to head for the hospital since he needed to make sure his patents were safe. “The only way I could get there was to get on my motorcycle,” said Witt because the parts of the roads were impassable to big vehicles.“I had to skirt around (绕开) where the fire had spread to,” he said.
“The intensive care unit already smelled with a lot of smoke when I arrived and I wanted to move everybody to a parking lot without any fire in it,” Witt said. With the hospital staff’s help, Witt managed to evacuate all eight preemie babies (早产儿) into an ambulance that rushed them to a nearby hospital.
Even though Witt had done more than enough, he decided to follow the ambulance to make sure the babies made it to the hospital. “At one point, there was some live wire on the freeway,” Witt said.
After seeing the babies to safety, Witt went back to check on his home, which had been burned to the ground. But Witt is grateful that his family was unharmed. “We didn’t have any injuries; we were just happy to be together.”
Now, Wit t is being hailed as a hero for his bravery, but he insists he just did what be felt was right. “I feel like these babies are like my own babies,” Witt said.“I just wanted to make sure I was there to help them,” he said.

【答案】Dear Smith,
I am Li Jin, one of your students in Class 6. Having met many difficulties in learning English, I am writing this letter to ask for help.
To begin with, I don’t understand what my teacher says in class or the listening materials. Besides, there are so many new words in the texts that it is difficult for me to memorize. I can’t remember new words clearly and quickly. In addition, I can’t express my thoughts and feelings since I am poor not only at oral English but also at grammar. I wonder if you could help me improve my English.
I’d appreciate it if you can reply to me at your earliest convenience.
Yours,
Li Jin
