The life of a premature (早产的) baby born during the winter storm in Texas was saved thanks to a team of medical professionals, including a doctor and two nurses who travelled from East Austin to Marble Falls in an effort to save a newborn baby’s life.
When Arias began experiencing pains, she and her parents headed to the closest hospital, Baylor Scott & White. Arias gave birth to her daughter, Zaylynn, who weighed just over one pound and was in need of advanced special care. However, the hospital does not offer the specialized care premature babies require.
“We had five or six people out at the nurses’ station calling hospital networks all over the state of Texas,” said Meredith Schubert, the labor and delivery nurse on duty when Arias arrived. “Nobody could answer our cry for help.”
They finally reached Dr. John Loyd through a patient, division neonatologist (新生儿学专家) chief at Dell Children’s Medical Center in Austin, Texas. Around 5 p. m., after already having worked a full shift, Loyd packed his SUV with equipment and he and two nurses set out for Marble Falls, about 55miles away. The drive took Loyd and the nurses about two hours as they drove in the night through ice and snow.
After safely arriving at the medical center in Marble Falls around 8 p. m., the Dell Children’s crew set up a temporary newborn ICU. Together, the Dell Children’s and Baylor Scott & White teams worked around the clock to care for the mother and daughter.
Once the weather cleared enough to allow for a helicopter to safely land. Zaylynn was transferred (转移) to Dell Children’s, where there is a Level IV newborn intensive care unit (重症监护室).
Schubert said, “It was a huge relief and a sense of accomplishment and joy that Zaylynn finally got to the place where she needed to be.”
Arias said that she was grateful to the doctors and nurses who worked together to save her daughter.
4. What did the newborn baby need badly
A. Famous hospitals. B. Experienced doctors.
C. Special intensive care. D. Professional operations.
5. What do we know about the nurses’ call for help before reaching Loyd
A. No reply was received at first.
B. First aid was put off because of it.
C. It wasn’t sent out for the heavy snow.
D. A medical team came to their help as a result.
6. What made the doctors and nurses feel a sense of relief
A. The fine weather. B. The baby’s improvement.
C. The take-off of the helicopter. D. The baby’s arrival at Dell Children’s.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the article
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. Rome was not built m a single day.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way.
D. When disaster strikes, help comes from all sides.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了得克萨斯州一支医疗专业团队，努力挽救一名早产儿生命的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Arias gave birth to her daughter, Zaylynn, who weighed just over one pound and was in need of advanced special care.”（阿里亚斯生下了女儿扎琳 (Zaylynn)，她的体重刚刚超过一磅，需要高级特殊护理。）可知，刚出生的婴儿急需特别的重症监护。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““We had five or six people out at the nurses’ station calling hospital networks all over the state of Texas,” said Meredith Schubert, the labor and delivery nurse on duty when Arias arrived. “Nobody could answer our cry for help.””（“我们有五六个人在护士站给德克萨斯州的医院网络打电话，”阿里亚斯到达时值班的产房护士梅雷迪思·舒伯特(Meredith Schubert)说。“没有人能回应我们的呼救。”）可知，护士在到达洛伊德之前的求救电话起初没有收到回复。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Schubert said, “It was a huge relief and a sense of accomplishment and joy that Zaylynn finally got to the place where she needed to be.””（舒伯特说：“扎琳终于到达了她需要去的地方，这是一种巨大的解脱，一种成就感和喜悦。”）可知，孩子来到戴尔儿童医院让医生和护士感到如释重负。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第五段中“Together, the Dell Children’s and Baylor Scott & White teams worked around the clock to care for the mother and daughter.”（戴尔儿童医疗中心和贝勒斯科特怀特医疗中心的团队一起夜以继日地照顾这对母女。）可知，当贝勒斯科特怀特医疗中心不能给早产儿提供特殊护理时，戴尔儿童医疗中心克服重重困难，和他们共同合作，把早产儿转移到了自己医院的新生儿重症监护室，体现了一方有难，八方支援。故文章最好的标题是“灾难来临时，四面八方都来帮忙”。故选D项。
C
Drive through any suburb in the U. S. today, and it’s hard to miss the recycling bins that have become companions to America’s trash cans. Recycling has become common, as people recognize the need to care for the environment. Yet most people’s recycling awareness extends (延伸) only as far as paper, bottle, and cans. People seldom find themselves facing the growing problem of e-waste.
E-waste rapidly increases as the techno-fashionable frequently upgrade to the most advanced devices, and the majority of them end up in landfills (填埋). Some people who track such wastes say that users throw away nearly 2 million tons of TVs, VCRs, computers, cell phones, and other electronics every year. Unless we can find a safe replacement (替代品), this e-waste may get into the ground and poison the water with dangerous toxins (霉素), such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. Burning the waste also dangerously contaminates the air.
However, e-waste often contains reusable silver, gold, and other electrical materials. Recycling these materials reduces environmental problems by reducing both landfill waste and the need to look for such metals, which can destroy ecosystems.
A growing number of states have passed laws to ban (禁止) getting rid of e-waste. Still, less than a quarter of this waste will reach lawful recycling programs. Some companies advertising safe disposal (处理) in fact merely ship the waste to some developing countries, where it still ends up in landfills. These organizations prevent progress by unsafely disposing of waste in an out-of-sight, out-of-mind location.
However, the small but growing number of cities and corporations that do handle e-waste responsibly represents progress toward making the world a cleaner, better place for us all.
8. What can we know from the first paragraph
A. E-waste cannot be put into trash cans in the U. S.
B. Many Americans now have access to recycling bins.
C. Most Americans have realized the dangers of e-waste.
D. Most of America’s trash cans are made of recycled material.
9. Which can best replace the underlined word “contaminates” in Paragraph 2
A. Pollutes. B. Heats. C. Attacks. D. Reduces.
10. What can we learn according to paragraph 4
A. Much e-waste is still not properly handled.
B. Some developing countries welcome e-waste.
C. Laws have played a major role in getting rid of e-waste.
D. The e-waste buried in the landfills won’t destroy ecosystem.
11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text
A. To tell us how to recycle &waste.
B. To talk about the future of e-waste.
C. To discuss if it’s necessary to, recycle e-waste.
D. To encourage people to deal with e-waste properly.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了日益严重的电子垃圾现象。电子垃圾日益增多，如果处理不当，会对土壤，地下水，空气都产生危害。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“ Drive through any suburb in the U. S. today, and it’s hard to miss the recycling bins that have become companions to America’s trash cans. (今天，在美国任何一个郊区开车，你都很难错过那些与美国垃圾桶形影不离的回收箱)”可推知，从第一段我们可以知道许多美国人现在可以使用回收箱。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中“Unless we can find a safe replacement (替代品), this e-waste may get into the ground and poison the water with dangerous toxins (霉素), such as lead, mercury, and arsenic.”（除非我们能找到安全的替代品，否则这些电子垃圾可能会进入地下，并使水中含有危险的毒素，如铅、汞和砷。）以及划线单词句中“Burning the waste also dangerously…”（焚烧垃圾也会……）中的also可知，此处为焚烧垃圾也会污染空气。故可猜测划线单词contaminates为“污染”的意思，结合选项A项Pollutes“污染”意思一致。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“A growing number of states have passed laws to ban (禁止) getting rid of e-waste. Still, less than a quarter of this waste will reach lawful recycling programs. Some companies advertising safe disposal (处理) in fact merely ship the waste to some developing countries, where it still ends up in landfills. These organizations prevent progress by unsafely disposing of waste in an out-of-sight, out-of-mind location.”（越来越多的州已经通过了禁止处理电子垃圾的法律。然而，只有不到四分之一的垃圾会进入合法的回收程序。一些宣传安全处理的公司实际上只是把垃圾运到一些发展中国家，这些垃圾最终还是被填埋在那里。这些组织通过在人们看不见的地方不安全地处理废物来阻止进展。）可推知，根据第4段我们能了解到许多电子垃圾仍未得到妥善处理。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the small but growing number of cities and corporations that do handle e-waste responsibly represents progress toward making the world a cleaner, better place for us all.”（然而，越来越多的城市和公司负责任地处理电子垃圾，这代表着我们朝着让世界变得更清洁、更美好的方向取得了进步。）并结合上文提到虽然有相关法律，但还有很大一部分电子垃圾没有得到妥善处理推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了鼓励市民妥善处理电子垃圾。故选D项。
D
Scientists once considered sleep to be like a shadow getting drawn over a window between the brain and the outside world: when the shadow is closed, the brain stops reacting to outside stimuli (刺激).
A study published on 12 October in Nature Neuroscience suggests that there might be periods during sleep when that shade is partially open.
A few years ago, Oudiette, a cognitive scientist in France, began questioning the definition of sleep after she and her team conducted an experiment in which they were able to communicate with people who are aware that they are dreaming while they sleep — otherwise known as clear dreamers. During these people’s dreams, experimenters were able to ask questions and get responses through eye and facial-muscle movements.
Karen Konkoly who was a co-author on that study, says “it was a big open question in our minds whether communication would be possible with non-clear dreamers.”
So Oudiette continued with the work. In her latest study, she and her colleagues observed 27 people with narcolepsy (嗜睡症) — characterized by daytime sleepiness and a high frequency of clear dreams — and 22 people without the condition. While they were sleeping, participants were repeatedly asked to frown or smile. All of them responded accurately to at least 70% of these tips. Overall response rates were higher for all participants during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when the deepest sleep occurs but the brain remains quite active, than during other sleep stages.
This study is part of a larger advance in the field of sleep research, says Mélanie Strauss,a cognitive scientist in Brussels. Researchers are moving away from monitoring sleep mainly with EEG (脑电图) and towards “fine grained” approaches that combine EEG with various tasks and stimuli — a strategy that could help to cast light on specific diseases or conditions, she says.
12. What did scientists think of sleep in the past
A. It happens during different periods.
B. It is a shadow formed within the brain.
C. It suggests a weakening in the brain’s functions.
D. It means a stop in brain’s response to the outside.
13. How did clear dreamers react to the experimenters
A. By moving their face and eyes. B. By repeating the questions.
C. By providing accurate answers. D. By talking about their dream.
14. What can we learn about the participants in the latest study
A. They like sleeping in the daytime.
B. They remember their dreams clearly.
C. They do exactly as they’re told during sleep.
D. They show higher response in the deepest sleep.
15. What does Mélanie Strauss mainly tell us in the last paragraph
A. The limitation of using EEG. B. A cure for specific diseases.
C. The progress of the sleep research. D. A method of detecting sleep
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，实验表明，睡眠并不像科学家们想象的那样将你与外界隔绝。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists once considered sleep to be like a shadow getting drawn over a window between the brain and the outside world: when the shadow is closed, the brain stops reacting to outside stimuli (刺激). (科学家们曾经认为睡眠就像大脑和外部世界之间的窗户上蒙上的遮光帘：当遮光帘关闭时，大脑就会停止对外界刺激的反应。)”可知，科学家过去认为睡觉意味着大脑对外界的反应停止。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“During these people’s reams, experimenters were able to ask questions and get responses through eye and facial-muscle movements. (在这些人的实验过程中，实验人员可以提出问题并通过他们眼睛和面部肌肉的运动得到回应。)”可知，清醒梦者通过面部和眼睛的移动来和实验人员交流，故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“All of them responded accurately to at least 70% of these tips. Overall response rates were higher for all participants during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when the deepest sleep occurs but the brain remains quite active, than during other sleep stages. (所有参与者在REM(快速眼动)睡眠期间的总体反应率都高于其他睡眠阶段。REM是深度睡眠，但大脑仍相当活跃)”可知，参与者在深度睡眠阶段表现出更高的反应，故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This study is part of a larger advance in the field of sleep research, says Mélanie Strauss, a cognitive scientist in Brussels. Researchers are moving away from monitoring sleep mainly with EEG (脑电图) and towards ‘fine grained’ approaches that combine EEG with various tasks and stimuli — a strategy that could help to cast light on specific diseases or conditions, she says. (这项研究是睡眠研究领域更大进展的一部分，布鲁塞尔的认知科学家Mélanie Strauss说。她说，研究人员正在从主要通过脑电图监测睡眠，转向将脑电图与各种任务和刺激结合起来的‘细粒度’方法——一种有助于阐明特定疾病或状况的策略。)”可知，Mélanie Strauss主要讲述了睡眠研究的进展，故选C。

The life of a premature (早产的) baby born during the winter storm in Texas was saved thanks to a team of medical professionals, including a doctor and two nurses who travelled from East Austin to Marble Falls in an effort to save a newborn baby’s life.
When Arias began experiencing pains, she and her parents headed to the closest hospital, Baylor Scott & White. Arias gave birth to her daughter, Zaylynn, who weighed just over one pound and was in need of advanced special care. However, the hospital does not offer the specialized care premature babies require.
“We had five or six people out at the nurses’ station calling hospital networks all over the state of Texas,” said Meredith Schubert, the labor and delivery nurse on duty when Arias arrived. “Nobody could answer our cry for help.”
They finally reached Dr. John Loyd through a patient, division neonatologist (新生儿学专家) chief at Dell Children’s Medical Center in Austin, Texas. Around 5 p. m., after already having worked a full shift, Loyd packed his SUV with equipment and he and two nurses set out for Marble Falls, about 55miles away. The drive took Loyd and the nurses about two hours as they drove in the night through ice and snow.
After safely arriving at the medical center in Marble Falls around 8 p. m., the Dell Children’s crew set up a temporary newborn ICU. Together, the Dell Children’s and Baylor Scott & White teams worked around the clock to care for the mother and daughter.
Once the weather cleared enough to allow for a helicopter to safely land. Zaylynn was transferred (转移) to Dell Children’s where there is a Level IV newborn intensive care unit (重症监护室).
Schubert said “It was a huge relief and a sense of accomplishment and joy that Zaylynn finally got to the place where she needed to be.”
Arias said that she was grateful to the doctors and nurses who worked together to save her daughter.
4. What did the newborn baby need badly
A. Famous hospitals. B. Experienced doctors.
C. Special intensive care. D. Professional operations.
5. What do we know about the nurses’ call for help before reaching Loyd
A. No reply was received at first.
B. First aid was put off because of it.
C. It wasn’t sent out for the heavy snow.
D. A medical team came to their help as a result.
6. What made the doctors and nurses feel a sense of relief
A. The fine weather. B. The baby’s improvement.
C. The take-off of the helicopter. D. The baby’s arrival at Dell Children’s.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the article
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. Rome was not built m a single day.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way.
D. When disaster strikes, help comes from all sides.

Drive through any suburb in the U. S. today, and it’s hard to miss the recycling bins that have become companions to America’s trash cans. Recycling has become common, as people recognize the need to care for the environment. Yet most people’s recycling awareness extends (延伸) only as far as paper, bottle, and cans. People seldom find themselves facing the growing problem of e-waste.
E-waste rapidly increases as the techno-fashionable frequently upgrade to the most advanced devices, and the majority of them end up in landfills (填埋). Some people who track such wastes say that users throw away nearly 2 million tons of TVs, VCRs, computers, cell phones, and other electronics every year. Unless we can find a safe replacement (替代品), this e-waste may get into the ground and poison the water with dangerous toxins (霉素), such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. Burning the waste also dangerously contaminates the air.
However, e-waste often contains reusable silver, gold, and other electrical materials. Recycling these materials reduces environmental problems by reducing both landfill waste and the need to look for such metals, which can destroy ecosystems.
A growing number of states have passed laws to ban (禁止) getting rid of e-waste. Still, less than a quarter of this waste will reach lawful recycling programs. Some companies advertising safe disposal (处理) in fact merely ship the waste to some developing countries, where it still ends up in landfills. These organizations prevent progress by unsafely disposing of waste in an out-of-sight, out-of-mind location.
However, the small but growing number of cities and corporations that do handle e-waste responsibly represents progress toward making the world a cleaner, better place for us all.
8. What can we know from the first paragraph
A. E-waste cannot be put into trash cans in the U. S.
B. Many Americans now have access to recycling bins.
C. Most Americans have realized the dangers of e-waste.
D. Most of America’s trash cans are made of recycled material.
9. Which can best replace the underlined word “contaminates” in Paragraph 2
A. Pollutes. B. Heats. C. Attacks. D. Reduces.
10. What can we learn according to paragraph 4
A. Much e-waste is still not properly handled.
B. Some developing countries welcome e-waste.
C. Laws have played a major role in getting rid of e-waste.
D. The e-waste buried in the landfills won’t destroy ecosystem.
11 What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text
A. To tell us how to recycle &waste.
B. To talk about the future of e-waste.
C. To discuss if it’s necessary to, recycle e-waste.
D. To encourage people to deal with e-waste properly.

Scientists once considered sleep to be like a shadow getting drawn over a window between the brain and the outside world: when the shadow is closed, the brain stops reacting to outside stimuli (刺激).
A study published on 12 October in Nature Neuroscience suggests that there might be periods during sleep when that shade is partially open.
A few years ago, Oudiette, a cognitive scientist in France, began questioning the definition of sleep after she and her team conducted an experiment in which they were able to communicate with people who are aware that they are dreaming while they sleep — otherwise known as clear dreamers. During these people’s dreams, experimenters were able to ask questions and get responses through eye and facial-muscle movements.
Karen Konkoly, who was a co-author on that study, says “it was a big open question in our minds whether communication would be possible with non-clear dreamers.”
So Oudiette continued with the work. In her latest study, she and her colleagues observed 27 people with narcolepsy (嗜睡症) — characterized by daytime sleepiness and a high frequency of clear dreams — and 22 people without the condition. While they were sleeping, participants were repeatedly asked to frown or smile. All of them responded accurately to at least 70% of these tips. Overall response rates were higher for all participants during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when the deepest sleep occurs but the brain remains quite active, than during other sleep stages.
This study is part of a larger advance in the field of sleep research, says Mélanie Strauss,a cognitive scientist in Brussels. Researchers are moving away from monitoring sleep mainly with EEG (脑电图) and towards “fine grained” approaches that combine EEG with various tasks and stimuli — a strategy that could help to cast light on specific diseases or conditions, she says.
