Well, it isn’t a long story, but I wonder if you will really understand.
I used to be crazy about hunting. There’s a thrill in hunting, an excitement that comes over you when a deer crashes out of the bush. After hunting, you also feel great to show off with the boys.
It was like that the last time I was in the woods. I went up into the hills alone, heading for a well-used deer trail. Sure enough there were fresh tracks in the snow. Then I saw him. A deer, a big beautiful deer! Surely I couldn’t miss! I waited for him to realize I was there and run away. But he fooled me completely. He came towards me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid—how else can you explain it
He must have known about men and guns. But he came closer, putting one foot before the other, slowly and purposefully. His big eyes never moved from my face. Well, that deer walked right up to me. Then he stopped and looked at me!
What happened next is hard to believe, but it’s true. And it all seemed quite natural. Just as when a friendly puppy comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head, right between the horns. And he liked to be scratched. That big, wild, beautiful deer bent his head like a young horse. In fact, he practically asked for more. I scratched his head and his nose poked at my shoulder. He didn’t even tremble. Well, he finally went his way, down the hill and up the deer trail. Shoot him Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.
There’s very little more to tell. I picked up my thermos, and started walking back. I was about halfway back when I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam a few seconds later. Those two shoots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters that day.
Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head…
4. Why did the author mention his craze for hunting
A. To present & cause. B. To make a contrast.
C. To illustrate an idea. D. To express a phenomenon.
5. Why did the author change his mind and let the deer go
A. The deer fooled the author into doing that. B. The author was not prepared.
C. The deer was stupid. D. Their interaction softened the author.
6. What can we learn from the text
A. The author is an inexperienced hunter.
B. The deer was alert (警觉的) to human beings.
C. The deer was probably killed.
D. The author was happy that the deer ran away.
7. Which of the following might be the best title for the text

推理判断题。根据第二段“I used to be crazy about hunting.”（我以前很喜欢打猎。）和第五段“Shoot him Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.”（ 射杀他吗？不是我。你也不会的，在那之后。我只是看着他离开。）可知，作者以前喜欢打猎，可这一次他却放走了这只鹿，可见作者提到他以前喜欢打猎，是为了和后来的转变作鲜明的对比。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Just as when a friendly puppy comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head, right between the horns. And he liked to be scratched. That big, wild, beautiful deer bent his head like a young horse. In fact, he practically asked for more. I scratched his head and his nose poked at my shoulder. He didn’t even tremble.”（就像一只友好的小狗靠近你时，我伸手抓了抓它的头，就在两角之间。他喜欢被抓。那只又大又野又漂亮的鹿像一匹小马似的低下了头，事实上，他实际上要求更多，我抓着他的头，他的鼻子戳着我的肩膀，他甚至没有颤抖。）和“Shoot him Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.”（ 射杀他吗？不是我。你也不会的，在那之后。我只是看着他离开。）可知，作者和鹿之间的互动令作者心软了，于是放走了鹿。故选D。
【6题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段“Well, it isn’t a long story, but I wonder if you will really understand.”（这说来话长，但我想知道你是否真的能理解。）、第二段“I used to be crazy about hunting.”（我以前很喜欢打猎。）、第五段“I just watched him go.”（我只是看着他离开。）、最后一段“Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head…”（那些猎人永远不会知道他们可以抓他的头……）及全文内容可知，作者通过讲述他以前喜欢打猎，但这次小鹿对人类的不设防及主动亲近，以及他们之间的温馨互动让他心软，不忍伤害小鹿，最终放走了他的故事，告诉了读者他放弃猎杀小鹿的原因。故选A。
C
It’s good to be smart. After all, intelligent people earn more money, accumulate more wealth, and even live longer. But there’s another side to the story. The brightest people and strongest leaders sometimes make errors others don’t, especially in situations that require common sense.
Travis Bradberry, president at TalentSmart, explained in his post Why Smart People Act So Stupid that “Rational thinking (理性思维) and intelligence don’t tend to go hand in hand. Intelligent people are more likely to make silly mistakes because of blind spots in how they use logic. These blind spots exist because smart people tend to be overconfident in their reasoning abilities.” They are so used to being right and having quick answers that they don’t even realize when they’re making a mess by answering without thinking things through.
A lifetime of praise leads smart people to develop too much faith in their intelligence and abilities. They often fail to recognize when they need help, and when they do recognize it, they tend to believe that no one else is capable of providing it.
“It’s hard for anyone to graciously accept the fact that they’re wrong. It’s even harder for smart people because they grow so used to being right all the time that it becomes a part of their identity,” Bradberry wrote. “For smart people, being wrong can feel like a personal attack, and being right, a necessity.”
Smart people also have a hard time accepting feedback. They tend to undervalue the opinions of others, which means they have trouble believing that anyone is qualified to give them useful feedback. Not only does this tendency slow their growth and performance, it can lead to harmful relationships, both personally and professionally.
Smart people develop overachieving personalities because things come so easily to them. They simply don’t understand how hard some people have to work to accomplish the same things, and because of that, they push people too hard. They set the bar too high, and when people take too long or don’t get things quite right, they assume it’s due to a lack of effort. So they push even harder.
8. What do we learn from the passage about the brightest people
A. They can differ in their personalities.
B. They are admired by people around them.
C. They usually face their own weaknesses calmly.
D. They can make silly mistakes in straightforward situations.
9 What accounts for the existence of intelligent people’s logical blind spots
A. Their irrational way of thinking. B. Too much concern about their work.
C. Too much faith in their ability to think. D. Their ignorance of behavioral science.
10. What may happen to smart people who find it difficult to accept suggestions
A. They may experience a lot of emotional stress.
B. They may commit more errors than ever before.
C. They may lose faith in their administrative abilities.
D. They may suffer in their professional and private life.
11. What is said about those working with or under overachieving people
A. They are under increasing pressure. B. They set higher goals for themselves.
C. They put a lot of effort into their work. D. They take less time to get things done.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了最聪明的人和最强大的领导者有时会犯别人不会犯的错误的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中“The brightest people and strongest leaders sometimes make errors others don’t, especially in situations that require common sense. (最聪明的人和最强大的领导者有时会犯别人不会犯的错误，尤其是在需要常识的情况下。)”可知，最聪明的人会在简单的情况下犯愚蠢的错误。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Intelligent people are more likely to make silly mistakes because of blind spots in how they use logic. These blind spots exist because smart people tend to be overconfident in their reasoning abilities.” (聪明的人更容易犯愚蠢的错误，因为他们在使用逻辑方面存在盲点。这些盲点的存在是因为聪明人往往对自己的推理能力过于自信。)”可知，聪明人的逻辑盲点在于太相信他们的思考能力了。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段中“Not only does this tendency slow their growth and performance, it can lead to harmful relationships, both personally and professionally. (这种倾向不仅会减缓他们的成长和表现，还会导致有害的人际关系，无论是个人关系还是职业关系。)”可知，聪明的人很难接受建议这导致他们可能会在职业和私人生活中遭受痛苦。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Smart people develop overachieving personalities because things come so easily to them. They simply don’t understand how hard some people have to work to accomplish the same things, and because of that, they push people too hard. They set the bar too high, and when people take too long or don’t get things quite right, they assume it’s due to a lack of effort. So they push even harder. (聪明的人会发展出超常的个性，因为事情对他们来说太容易了。他们只是不理解有些人为了完成同样的事情需要付出多大的努力，正因为如此，他们对人们的要求过于严格。他们设定的标准太高，当人们花太长时间或没有把事情做好时，他们会认为这是由于缺乏努力。所以他们会更加努力。)”可知，对于那些与成就超常的人一起工作的人，他们承受着越来越大的压力。故选A。
D
Healthy human skin is covered with bacteria (细菌) that are quick to settle in an open wound. To prevent these organisms from spreading through the body, which can permanently injure or kill a person, the infected wound may need to be cleaned and treated with antibiotics. Medical professionals typically identify infections by unwrapping and observing a wound or by swabbing (用拭子擦拭) it and conducting a laboratory test. But removing a wound dressing can slow down the healing process. Plus, observations are subjective, while swab tests take time and require that a patient be physically present.
To address these issues, some research teams are developing devices that sit under bandages and continuously monitor indirect signs of infection, such as changes in wound temperature or acidity. And scientists at the National University of Singapore have now created an even more direct infection sensor.
This sensor can detect an enzyme (酶) called DNase. The enzyme acts as a reliable infection indicator because disease-causing bacteria produce it in large amounts inside wounds, whereas bacteria on healthy skin do not—so testing for the substance reduces the chance of a false positive result. Furthermore, DNase builds up before other infection signs appear. The new alert system, nicknamed the“wireless infection detection on wounds” (WINDOW) sensor, was detailed in Science Advances.
WINDOWs enzyme-sensing parts rely on a material called DNAgel. There searchers developed a particular kind of DNAgel that remains stable in watery environments, such as the human body, but begins to break down in the presence of DNase. They connected this gel (凝胶) to a chip that senses when the gel responds by sending a signal to a smartphone.
Thus far, the team has exposed the DNAgel to wound swabs from 18 people’s wounds to see how much the material degraded in the presence of the bacteria. There searchers also used the device on six living lab mice whose wounds were exposed to the same bacterial species, and it successfully detected infections.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The harm of common wounds.
B. The treatment of infected wounds.
C. The intervention on wound healing.
D. The dilemma of infection observation.
13. How does the WINDOW sensor detect infections
A. By comparing wound acidity.
B. By detecting the DNase enzyme.
C. By measuring the bacteria amount.
D. By observing changes in wound color.
14. What can we expect of the WINDOW sensor in the future
A. It will cut down the length of infection-treating.
B. It could reduce the cost of infection observation.
C. It can monitor wounds continuously and remotely.
D. It might help conduct laboratory tests on wounds.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Innovations in Wound Infection Detection
B. Removing the Dangers of Open Wounds
C. Recognizing the Role of DNase in Healing
D. Challenges in Wound Care and Treatment
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种能够检测识别伤口感染的新设备。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Medical professionals typically identify infections by unwrapping and observing a wound or by swabbing (用拭子擦拭)it and conducting a laboratory test. But removing a wound dressing can slow down the healing process. Plus, observations are subjective, while swab tests take time and require that a patient be physically present.”（医疗专业人员通常通过打开和观察伤口或通过擦拭伤口并进行实验室测试来识别感染。但是去除伤口敷料会减缓愈合过程；此外，观察是主观的，而棉签测试需要时间，并且需要患者亲自到场。）可知，第一段主要表达了医疗人员所用的观察识别感染的方法，在实施过程中还是有一定困难和弊端的，可见是处于困境中。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The enzyme acts as a reliable infection indicator because disease-causing bacteria produce it in large amounts inside wounds, whereas bacteria on healthy skin do not—so testing for the substance reduces the chance of a false positive result.”（这种酶是一种可靠的感染指标，因为伤口内的致病细菌会大量产生这种酶，而健康皮肤上的细菌则不会，因此检测这种物质可以减少假阳性结果的可能性。）和“The new alert system, nicknamed the“wireless infection detection on wounds” (WINDOW) sensor, was detailed in Science Advances.”（这种新的警报系统被称为“伤口无线感染检测”(WINDOW)传感器，详细内容发表在《科学进展》杂志上。）可知，WINDOW是通过检测DNase酶来检测感染的。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“They connected this gel(凝胶)to a chip that senses when the gel responds by sending a signal to a smartphone.”（他们将这种凝胶连接到一个芯片上，该芯片通过向智能手机发送信号来感知凝胶的反应。）可知，在未来，WINDOW感应器可以通过智能手机来持续地进行远程监控伤口情况。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“To address these issues, some research teams are developing devices that sit under bandages and continuously monitor indirect signs of infection, ”（为了解决这些问题，一些研究团队正在开发一种设备，这种设备可以放在绷带下，持续监测感染的间接迹象）和“And scientists at the National University of Singapore have now created an even more direct infection sensor.”（新加坡国立大学的科学家们现在发明了一种更直接的感染传感器。）以及下文对这种设备的介绍可知，本文主要介绍了一种检测伤口感染的新的设备，是伤口感染检测的创新。所以用A项“Innovations in Wound Infection Detection”作为本文的标题与文章主题相符合。故选A。
第二节7选5(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Since the pre-historic times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs.

【导语】本文一篇议论文。作者通过解释和比较的方法来介绍大脑同胃一样也需要“营养”，阐述阅读带来的好处并号召人们应该不断阅读以丰富自我。
【16题详解】
上文“Since the per-historic times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger or shelter, he has always controlled the conditions to the best of his advantages. (自史前时代以来，人类就有一种满足自己需求的冲动。无论是饥饿还是栖身之所，他总能把环境控制到自己最有利的程度。)”指出人类自史前以来就有一种满足自己需求的冲动，总能使环境对自己有利；G选项“This might be the reason why we humans are the most developed of all living species.(这可能就是为什么我们人类是所有现存物种中最发达的。)”承接上文，指出人类总能把环境控制到自己最有利的程度可能是人类是所有现存物种中最发达的原因，选项中的“This”指代上文“he has always controlled the conditions to the best of his advantages”；由此可知，G选项符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
上文“Just like your stomach, your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, your favorite star and many such silly things.(就像你的胃一样，你的大脑也很饿。但它永远不会让你知道，因为你让它忙着想着你的梦中情人，你最喜欢的明星和许多这样愚蠢的事情。)”指出你的大脑像胃一样也会饿，但是因为想着许多荒谬的事情，大脑所需的“营养”无法得到满足，你也不知道自己的思想是贫乏的；C选项“So it silently begins to focus on your needs and never lets itself grow.(所以它开始默默地关注你的需求，不让自己成长。)”与上文构成因果关系，指出大脑因为想着许多愚蠢的东西，使思想无法得到发展，结果使得思想贫乏而不自知；下文“When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop.(当思维失去成长的自由时，创造力就戛然而止。)”承接C选项，指出当大脑思维失去“营养”无法得到成长时，就会失去创造力，文中的“mind looses its freedom to grow”与选项中的“never lets itself grow”表达的意思一致。故选C。
【18题详解】
上一段主要阐述了大脑饥饿、思想贫乏会产生的不好的结果；由下文“Now why reading and not watching TV Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading. Once you read a book, you just don’t run your eyes through the lines, but even your mind decodes (解读) it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.(为什么是阅读而不是看电视呢？因为从孩提时代起，阅读就是我们最具教育意义的工具。就像要发展我们生活的其他方面一样，我们必须求助于阅读。一旦你读了一本书，你不只是用眼睛浏览字里行间，甚至你的大脑也会解码并解释给你听。书中有趣的部分就像种子一样储存在你的脑海里。)”可知本段中作者建议通过阅读填补思想上的饥饿，并详细阐述了广泛的阅读的益处；D选项“Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading.(思想的饥饿实际上可以通过广泛的阅读来满足。)”指出思想的饥饿实际上可以通过广泛的阅读来解决，符合本段主旨，选项中的“extensive reading”与下文中的“reading”相照应。故选D。
【19题详解】
上文“The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. (书中有趣的部分就像种子一样储存在你的脑海里。)”指出书中有趣的部分就像种子一样储存在你的脑海里；F选项“Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas.(现在，这颗种子不知不觉地被你在未来用来发展新的想法。)”承接上文，指出书中有趣的部分就像种子一样储存在脑海里之后，就会不知不觉被用来发展新的想法，选项中的“this seed”指代上文中的“a seed”，即“The interesting part of the book”；由此可知，F选项符合语境。故选F。
【20题详解】
上文“So join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. (所以加入我，通过阅读，阅读，再阅读来充实你的思想。)”作者呼吁读者通过阅读来充实思想；B选项“Go, grab a book, and let me know.(现在就拿起一本书让我瞧瞧！)”号召读者拿起书来阅读，符合语境。故选B。

Ella loved her new life in Skagway, Alaska, except for one thing-Grandmother wasn’t happy.
In Kansas, Ella went to Grandmother’s house every day after school, and they baked or gardened or sewed(缝纫). Then Papa announced he’d gotten a job in Alaska. She protested for weeks but finally decided to go too. Ella was overjoyed. She couldn’t imagine living any where without Grandmother.
By autumn, they were in Skagway. Ella had never known so much excitement. Grandmother, however, didn’t share Ella’s enthusiasm. As winter had set in, Grandmother mostly stayed inside and complained about the cold.
“I wish you were happy,” Ella whispered. “I wish I had a garden of sunflowers peeking through my window right now,” Grandmother said.
Ella worried that if Grandmother didn’t cheer up soon, she might return to Kansas. So she went to her friend Sara who had lived in Skagway with her Aunt Grace for three years. Ella asked her if sunflowers could grow here. “Maybe,” Sara said. “Let’s ask my aunt.” Ella liked Aunt Grace. She reminded her of how Grandmother used to be in Kansas.
Ella explained her problem and Aunt Grace told her sunflowers could grow here only in summer. “Maybe there’s another way,” Aunt Grace said. “We can make your grandmother some sunflower quilt blocks(几何拼布)that will be cheery and warm.”
Ella chose the brightest fabrics in Grandmother’s scrap bag and brought them to Sara’s house. Every afternoon Ella, Sara, and Aunt Grace sewed sunflower quilt blocks. It was slow going but enjoyable.The finished blocks reminded her of Grandmother’s garden in Kansas. It was fun to talk with Sara while they sewed, and Aunt Grace told them stories about when she was young. They always took a break for tea and cookies,too.
Lately Ella hadn’t spent much time with Grandmother. She worried that the quilt wouldn’t be finished soon enough. Meanwhile, Grandmother seemed sadder and sadder, always talking about her home and friends in Kansas. Ella wished she could tell Grandmother about the quilt, but she wanted to surprise her.

【答案】
One day when Ella came home,Grandmother was crying. “Don’t mind me,” Grandmother said, dabbing her eyes. “I was just thinking of home and feeling lonely.” On hearing these words, Ella approached her beloved Grandmother and hugged her tightly. Suddenly, memories of their baking, gardening and sewing together in Grandmother’s old house crossed her mind. Had I spent too little time with Grandmother recently Maybe what Grandmother needed wasn’t sunflower quilts but company. A surge of guilt seized her. She couldn’t help saying to Grandmother, “Come with me to Sara’s house.We’ve been making a surprise for you.” Before long, they arrived and knocked at the door.
When Aunt Grace opened the door, Ella explained why Grandmother was there with her. “Of course!” Aunt Grace said, “I should’ve invited you myself.” They showed her the blocks they’d sewn. Holding the handmade quilts, Grandmother couldn’t contain her tears, murmuring with a trembling voice, “You did this for me ” She insisted on helping, so four of them sat down, sewed and chatted together. Ella hadn’t heard Grandmother sound so cheerful since they’d left Kansas. It seemed as if they were back to the good old days. While Aunt Grace and Sara made tea for a break, she said, “I’m sorry. I just wanted to make you happy.” Grandmother stroked her head and smiled, “You have,Ella.You have.”

Well, it isn’t a long story, but I wonder if you will really understand.
I used to be crazy about hunting. There’s a thrill in hunting, an excitement that comes over you when a deer crashes out of the bush. After hunting, you also feel great to show off with the boys.
It was like that the last time I was in the woods. I went up into the hills alone, heading for a well-used deer trail. Sure enough there were fresh tracks in the snow. Then I saw him. A deer, a big beautiful deer! Surely I couldn’t miss! I waited for him to realize I was there and run away. But he fooled me completely. He came towards me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid—how else can you explain it
He must have known about men and guns. But he came closer, putting one foot before the other, slowly and purposefully. His big eyes never moved from my face. Well, that deer walked right up to me. Then he stopped and looked at me!
What happened next is hard to believe, but it’s true. And it all seemed quite natural. Just as when a friendly puppy comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head, right between the horns. And he liked to be scratched. That big, wild, beautiful deer bent his head like a young horse. In fact, he practically asked for more. I scratched his head and his nose poked at my shoulder. He didn’t even tremble. Well, he finally went his way, down the hill and up the deer trail. Shoot him Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.
There’s very little more to tell. I picked up my thermos and started walking back. I was about halfway back when I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam a few seconds later. Those two shoots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters that day.
Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head…
4. Why did the author mention his craze for hunting

It’s good to be smart. After all, intelligent people earn more money, accumulate more wealth, and even live longer. But there’s another side to the story. The brightest people and strongest leaders sometimes make errors others don’t, especially in situations that require common sense.
Travis Bradberry, president at TalentSmart, explained in his post Why Smart People Act So Stupid that “Rational thinking (理性思维) and intelligence don’t tend to go hand in hand. Intelligent people are more likely to make silly mistakes because of blind spots in how they use logic. These blind spots exist because smart people tend to be overconfident in their reasoning abilities.” They are so used to being right and having quick answers that they don’t even realize when they’re making a mess by answering without thinking things through.
A lifetime of praise leads smart people to develop too much faith in their intelligence and abilities. They often fail to recognize when they need help, and when they do recognize it, they tend to believe that no one else is capable of providing it.
“It’s hard for anyone to graciously accept the fact that they’re wrong. It’s even harder for smart people because they grow so used to being right all the time that it becomes a part of their identity,” Bradberry wrote. “For smart people, being wrong can feel like a personal attack, and being right, a necessity.”
Smart people also have a hard time accepting feedback. They tend to undervalue the opinions of others, which means they have trouble believing that anyone is qualified to give them useful feedback. Not only does this tendency slow their growth and performance, it can lead to harmful relationships, both personally and professionally.
Smart people develop overachieving personalities because things come so easily to them. They simply don’t understand how hard some people have to work to accomplish the same things, and because of that, they push people too hard. They set the bar too high, and when people take too long or don’t get things quite right, they assume it’s due to a lack of effort. So they push even harder.
8. What do we learn from the passage about the brightest people
A. They can differ in their personalities.
B. They are admired by people around them.
C. They usually face their own weaknesses calmly.
D. They can make silly mistakes in straightforward situations.
9. What accounts for the existence of intelligent people’s logical blind spots
A. Their irrational way of thinking. B. Too much concern about their work.
C. Too much faith in their ability to think. D. Their ignorance of behavioral science.
10. What may happen to smart people who find it difficult to accept suggestions
A. They may experience a lot of emotional stress.
B. They may commit more errors than ever before.
C. They may lose faith in their administrative abilities.
D. They may suffer in their professional and private life.
11. What is said about those working with or under overachieving people
A. They are under increasing pressure. B. They set higher goals for themselves.
C. They put a lot of effort into their work. D. They take less time to get things done.
D
Healthy human skin is covered with bacteria (细菌) that are quick to settle in an open wound. To prevent these organisms from spreading through the body, which can permanently injure or kill a person, the infected wound may need to be cleaned and treated with antibiotics. Medical professionals typically identify infections by unwrapping and observing a wound or by swabbing (用拭子擦拭) it and conducting a laboratory test. But removing a wound dressing can slow down the healing process. Plus, observations are subjective, while swab tests take time and require that a patient be physically present.
To address these issues, some research teams are developing devices that sit under bandages and continuously monitor indirect signs of infection, such as changes in wound temperature or acidity. And scientists at the National University of Singapore have now created an even more direct infection sensor.
This sensor can detect an enzyme (酶) called DNase. The enzyme acts as a reliable infection indicator because disease-causing bacteria produce it in large amounts inside wounds, whereas bacteria on healthy skin do not—so testing for the substance reduces the chance of a false positive result. Furthermore, DNase builds up before other infection signs appear. The new alert system, nicknamed the“wireless infection detection on wounds” (WINDOW) sensor, was detailed in Science Advances.
WINDOWs enzyme-sensing parts rely on a material called DNAgel. There searchers developed a particular kind of DNAgel that remains stable in watery environments, such as the human body, but begins to break down in the presence of DNase. They connected this gel (凝胶) to a chip that senses when the gel responds by sending a signal to a smartphone.
Thus far, the team has exposed the DNAgel to wound swabs from 18 people’s wounds to see how much the material degraded in the presence of the bacteria. There searchers also used the device on six living lab mice whose wounds were exposed to the same bacterial species, and it successfully detected infections.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The harm of common wounds.
B. The treatment of infected wounds.
C. The intervention on wound healing.
D. The dilemma of infection observation.
13. How does the WINDOW sensor detect infections
A. By comparing wound acidity.
B. By detecting the DNase enzyme.
C. By measuring the bacteria amount.
D. By observing changes in wound color.
14. What can we expect of the WINDOW sensor in the future
A. It will cut down the length of infection-treating.
B. It could reduce the cost of infection observation.
C. It can monitor wounds continuously and remotely.
D. It might help conduct laboratory tests on wounds.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Innovations in Wound Infection Detection
B. Removing the Dangers of Open Wounds
C. Recognizing the Role of DNase in Healing
D Challenges in Wound Care and Treatment

47. 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。
Ella loved her new life in Skagway, Alaska, except for one thing-Grandmother wasn’t happy.
In Kansas, Ella went to Grandmother’s house every day after school, and they baked or gardened or sewed(缝纫). Then Papa announced he’d gotten a job in Alaska. She protested for weeks but finally decided to go too. Ella was overjoyed. She couldn’t imagine living any where without Grandmother.
By autumn, they were in Skagway. Ella had never known so much excitement. Grandmother, however, didn’t share Ella’s enthusiasm. As winter had set in, Grandmother mostly stayed inside and complained about the cold.
“I wish you were happy,” Ella whispered. “I wish I had a garden of sunflowers peeking through my window right now,” Grandmother said.
Ella worried that if Grandmother didn’t cheer up soon, she might return to Kansas. So she went to her friend Sara who had lived in Skagway with her Aunt Grace for three years. Ella asked her if sunflowers could grow here. “Maybe,” Sara said. “Let’s ask my aunt.” Ella liked Aunt Grace. She reminded her of how Grandmother used to be in Kansas.
Ella explained her problem and Aunt Grace told her sunflowers could grow here only in summer. “Maybe there’s another way,” Aunt Grace said. “We can make your grandmother some sunflower quilt blocks(几何拼布)that will be cheery and warm.”
Ella chose the brightest fabrics in Grandmother’s scrap bag and brought them to Sara’s house. Every afternoon Ella, Sara, and Aunt Grace sewed sunflower quilt blocks. It was slow going but enjoyable.The finished blocks reminded her of Grandmother’s garden in Kansas. It was fun to talk with Sara while they sewed, and Aunt Grace told them stories about when she was young. They always took a break for tea and cookies,too.
Lately Ella hadn’t spent much time with Grandmother. She worried that the quilt wouldn’t be finished soon enough. Meanwhile, Grandmother seemed sadder and sadder, always talking about her home and friends in Kansas. Ella wished she could tell Grandmother about the quilt, but she wanted to surprise her.
