When early colonial settlers went to America, they took many forms of dance to their new home. Square dancing, one of the oldest forms of American folk dancing, developed from several different Old World group dances, mainly English country dances, and the French quadrille(四对方舞).
In the American version of square dancing, four couples form a square and dance to music. An American addition to square dancing is the caller. What do you think a caller does
The callers—someone who calls out the dance steps in time to the music—was a completely American invention. At first dancers memorized all the steps for a particular dance, but eventually the dances became so complicated that it was necessary to have someone call out cues (提示) so that dancers didn’t have to remember so many steps. The caller didn’t just call out “do-se-do your partner”; a good caller also came up with colourful sayings or witty lines that he said in between the cues such as “Don’t be shy and don’t be afraid. Swing on the corner in a waltz promenade (步伐).” A caller might also come up with new dance steps and routines.
Although popular for years, square dancing seemed to be going out of style and fading away until the early 1930s, when Henry Ford helped revive interest in it. Ford, the automobile manufacturer, used to vacation at the Wayside Inn in Massachusetts, where he enjoyed the dance programme run by a man named Benjamin Lovett. Ford asked Lovett to come to Detroit and teach dances, but Lovett said he couldn’t because he had a contract with the inn. Ford solved that problem by buying the inn and Lovett’s contract. He took Lovett back to Detroit, where together they established a programme for teaching squares and rounds. Square dancing was updated and groups began forming all over the country.

A. The Different Steps of Square Dancing
B. The Origin and Development of Square Dancing
C. Who Was the Inventor of Square Dancing
D. Why Did Square Dancing Go Out of Style
5．What does the underlined part “their new home” refer to

6．Why did the caller call out the steps for the dancers
A. Because the dance was invented by the caller.
B. Because the dancers didn’t know the names of the steps.
C. Because the steps were very particular.
D. Because it was hard for the dancers to remember all the steps.
7．Why did the author mention Henry Ford in the last paragraph
A. Because he was the man who made the first car.
B. Because he was very fond of dancing.
C. Because he helped make square dancing popular again.
D. Because he taught people how to dance.
Captain America and Blackpanther were about to defend Earth from the criminal Thanos when Kevin Foley first noticed something was wrong. Foley, a 46-year old information-technology worker from Kyle, Texas, was heading into the theater to see Avengers: Infinity War when he realized he was having trouble breathing normally. The same symptom struck again during another movie the following night, but more severe this time. Once the cast on the second film rolled, Foley took action: he looked at his wristwatch. It was a bigger step than you might imagine, because Foley was wearing an Apple Watch equipped with medical sensors and experimental software to track basic functions of his heart. And the watch was worried. It had, according to the display, detected signs of an irregular heartbeat.
Before long, Foley was in an emergency room, where doctors hooked him up to an ECG(心电图), which showed that he was in atrial fibrillation(心房颤动),an irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots(血栓),stroke and other potentially disastrous diseases. Foley spent the next few days in the hospital while doctors worked to return him to a normal heart rhythm eventually turning to a procedure called electrical cardioversion to shock his heart back to normal. Foley is doing fine now. But he believes that, if not for the warning on his watch, he might not have sought help in time. "I would have never known," he says.
Foley and his watch were part of an experiment run by Apple and Stanford's medical school. But beginning Dec.6, anyone can get an on-the-fly heart checkup, assuming they've paid $399 or more for an Apple Watch. That's when Apple will launch a software update that turns its latest model, called the Series 4, into a personal ECG, thanks to an innovative new sensor. Though less complicated than hospital ECG machines, the watch version can still provide basic information and warnings of potential risks worthy of a closer look by a medical professional.
For Apple, this new ECG-on-your-wrist is its biggest bet yet that personal technology will inevitably include personal health. Along with competitors, Apple has already offered fitness functions, such as apps to track the steps you've walked. But with the new ECG scan, Apple e is moving straight into medical aspects of heath, a distinction underlined by the fact it sought and received Food and Drug Administration clearance for the clearance for the heart monitor.
8．What's the function of the story of Foley in Paragraphs 1 and 2
A.To arouse the readers' interest. B.To raise a common problem.
C.To lead the readers to the topic. D.To guide the readers to do first aid.
9．How can Foley's wristwatch detect signs of an irregular heartbeart
A.By being equipped with an innovative new medical sensor.
B.By being hooked straight up to an EGG in an emergency room.
C.By being paid not less than $399 for the latest Apple Watch.
D.By being accessible to Food and Drug Administration clearance for the heart monitor.
10．According to the passage, if someone wants to get an on-the-fly heart checkup, he or she ______.
A.can equip himself/herself with an ECG machine
B.can purchase an Apple Watch of any model
C.can buy a new Apple Watch Series 4
D.can have his or her old Apple Watch updated
11．The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A.advertise and promote a new kind of Apple watch
B.inform us of a new function of the latest Apple Watch
C.tell us a lucky story of Foley's being saved by his new Apple Watch
D.warn us of the danger of not being equipped with the latest Apple Watch
Knotting his brows at some medical reports, one old man sensed a potential danger. On that day, 59 citizens in Wuhan had caught pneumonia(肺炎)of unknown etiology. The phenomenon reminded him of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak that had spread across China 17 years ago. It was he who had come up with an effective treatment for SARS.
China's most respectable epidemiologist(流行病学家), 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan, is widely known to the public as the hero who defeated SARS. After a lifetime researching respiratory diseases, he was keenly aware that the new pneumonia may not be a simple disease, but a Pandora's box that could engulf the world.
Zhong grew up in a family of doctors, and lives by a simple motto: save lives and always be honest. In 2003, when SARS spread across China, he volunteered to treat patients, staying in hospital wards for weeks on end to study the disease. At the same time, he also spent countless nights in his lab looking for a cure for the deadly disease. His efforts paid off. Months later, his treatment plan for SARS was adopted by China and then the whole world, saving thousands of lives.
Zhong is also known for an incident. When authorities announced that the virus had been brought under control, he publicly criticized the assessment, deciding instead to tell the public the truth. In one post-SARS interview, he said: "I couldn't help myself. I said it's not all under control." His virtue(美德)won widespread praise from the Chinese public, who hailed him as a hero.
Seventeen years later, the old man is once again leading a team in a battle. Although this new virus is known to be particularly dangerous to the elderly, Zhong paid little attention to his own safety. On January 29, he and his colleagues spent over six hours on an online medical inquiry, checking five patients who were in critical condition.
"The hospitals are our battlefield, and doctors and nurses are warriors. When we are needed, we should charge forward, because this is our duty!" said Zhong.
As well as treating the patients, Zhong is also a messenger who delivers factual updates of COVID-19 to the public. Being unfamiliar with social medical platforms, he has asked colleagues to help him make videos aimed at calming fears about the virus and teaching the public how to prevent the disease, such as how to wash hands or wear a mask correctly.
While praised as hero, Zhong told the media that Wuhan, the center of China's COVID-19 outbreak and where tens of thousands of citizens have been confined to their homes for weeks to prevent the spread of the disease, also deserves that honor.
12．What does the underlined word "engulf" in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Sweep over. B.Get over. C.Take over. D.Pull over.
13．What does the third and fourth paragraph mainly want to tell us
A.Zhong didn't hesitate to voice the truth.
B.Zhong is a virtuous and honest doctor.
C.Zhong's honesty was highly praised in China.
D.Zhong and his team worked on end in the lab.
14．According to the passage, Zhong has done the following EXCEPT ______.
A.educating people on COVID-19 prevention B.
making great contributions to SARS treatment
C.giving a daily check on COVID-19 patients
D.inspiring doctors and nurses to charge forward like warriors
15．What does Zhong think of Wuhan
A.A Pandora's box. B. Acity of heroes.
C.A place full of secrets. D.A window for observation.

34．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。
In 1994 an 8.2 earthquake hit America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes.
As soon as the earthquake was over, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the unforgettably initial shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: "No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his promise to his son.
He began to draw his attention towards where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his son's classroom would be in the back right comer of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the ruins.
As he was digging, other helpless parents arrived, with a broken heart, shouting: "My son!" "My daughter!" Other well meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: "It's too late! They're all dead! You can't help! Go home! Come on, face reality, there's nothing you can do!"
To each parent he responded with one line: "Are you going to help me now " And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone. The firefighters showed up and tried to pull him off the school's ruins, saying, "Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere. You're in danger. We'll take care of it. Go home." However, the father asked, "Are you going to help me now " The police came and said, "You're anxious and it's over. You're endangering others. Go home. We'll handle it!" Again, he replied, "Are you going to help me now " No one helped.
Paragraph 1:
The father went on alone because he needed to know for himself: "Is my boy alive or is he dead "
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Everyone began to help him pull the kids out of the ruins.

The father went on alone because he needed to know for himself: "Is my boy alive or is he dead " He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours...36 hours...Then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son's voice. After screaming his son's name, "ARMAND!" he heard back, "Dad !It's me, Dad!" The faint but familiar voice brought tears of relief to his eyes. "What's going on in there How is it " the father asked anxiously, digging more forcefully with his bare hands. "I'm fine. There are 13 other kids down here, Dad," Daniel replied. "We're scared, hungry, and thirsty. When the building collapsed, it made a triangle and saved us." The father realized that this was a tricky situation. He couldn't risk causing another collapse down there. Fortunately, the firefighters were just nearby. The father shouted to the fire chief and signalled to them to come over.
Everyone began to help him pull the kids out of the ruins. Then, the father helped the firefighters cautiously remove the rocks and pulled out the kids one by one. When everyone was safe and sound, Daniel threw himself into his father's arms: "You did it, Dad! No matter what, I know you'll be there for me!"

When early colonial settlers went to America, they took many forms of dance to their new home. Square dancing, one of the oldest forms of American folk dancing, developed from several different Old World group dances, mainly English country dances, and the French quadrille(四对方舞).
In the American version of square dancing, four couples form a square and dance to music. An American addition to square dancing is the caller. What do you think a caller does
The callers—someone who calls out the dance steps in time to the music—was a completely American invention. At first dancers memorized all the steps for a particular dance, but eventually the dances became so complicated that it was necessary to have someone call out cues (提示) so that dancers didn’t have to remember so many steps. The caller didn’t just call out “do-se-do your partner”; a good caller also came up with colourful sayings or witty lines that he said in between the cues such as “Don’t be shy and don’t be afraid. Swing on the corner in a waltz promenade (步伐).” A caller might also come up with new dance steps and routines.
Although popular for years, square dancing seemed to be going out of style and fading away until the early 1930s, when Henry Ford helped revive interest in it. Ford, the automobile manufacturer, used to vacation at the Wayside Inn in Massachusetts, where he enjoyed the dance programme run by a man named Benjamin Lovett. Ford asked Lovett to come to Detroit and teach dances, but Lovett said he couldn’t because he had a contract with the inn. Ford solved that problem by buying the inn and Lovett’s contract. He took Lovett back to Detroit, where together they established a programme for teaching squares and rounds. Square dancing was updated and groups began forming all over the country.
4．What is the best title for the passage
A. The Different Steps of Square Dancing
B. The Origin and Development of Square Dancing
C. Who Was the Inventor of Square Dancing
D. Why Did Square Dancing Go Out of Style
5．What does the underlined part “their new home” refer to

6．Why did the caller call out the steps for the dancers
A. Because the dance was invented by the caller.
B. Because the dancers didn’t know the names of the steps.
C. Because the steps were very particular.
D. Because it was hard for the dancers to remember all the steps.
7．Why did the author mention Henry Ford in the last paragraph
A. Because he was the man who made the first car.
B. Because he was very fond of dancing.
C. Because he helped make square dancing popular again.
D. Because he taught people how to dance.
Captain America and Blackpanther were about to defend Earth from the criminal Thanos when Kevin Foley first noticed something was wrong. Foley, a 46-year old information-technology worker from Kyle, Texas, was heading into the theater to see Avengers: Infinity War when he realized he was having trouble breathing normally. The same symptom struck again during another movie the following night, but more severe this time. Once the cast on the second film rolled, Foley took action: he looked at his wristwatch. It was a bigger step than you might imagine, because Foley was wearing an Apple Watch equipped with medical sensors and experimental software to track basic functions of his heart. And the watch was worried. It had, according to the display, detected signs of an irregular heartbeat.
Before long, Foley was in an emergency room, where doctors hooked him up to an ECG(心电图), which showed that he was in atrial fibrillation(心房颤动),an irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots(血栓),stroke and other potentially disastrous diseases. Foley spent the next few days in the hospital while doctors worked to return him to a normal heart rhythm eventually turning to a procedure called electrical cardioversion to shock his heart back to normal. Foley is doing fine now. But he believes that, if not for the warning on his watch, he might not have sought help in time. "I would have never known," he says.
Foley and his watch were part of an experiment run by Apple and Stanford's medical school. But beginning Dec.6, anyone can get an on-the-fly heart checkup, assuming they've paid $399 or more for an Apple Watch. That's when Apple will launch a software update that turns its latest model, called the Series 4, into a personal ECG, thanks to an innovative new sensor. Though less complicated than hospital ECG machines, the watch version can still provide basic information and warnings of potential risks worthy of a closer look by a medical professional.
For Apple, this new ECG-on-your-wrist is its biggest bet yet that personal technology will inevitably include personal health. Along with competitors, Apple has already offered fitness functions, such as apps to track the steps you've walked. But with the new ECG scan, Apple e is moving straight into medical aspects of heath, a distinction underlined by the fact it sought and received Food and Drug Administration clearance for the clearance for the heart monitor.
8．What's the function of the story of Foley in Paragraphs 1 and 2
A.To arouse the readers' interest. B.To raise a common problem.
C.To lead the readers to the topic. D.To guide the readers to do first aid.
9．How can Foley's wristwatch detect signs of an irregular heartbeart
A.By being equipped with an innovative new medical sensor.
B.By being hooked straight up to an EGG in an emergency room.
C.By being paid not less than $399 for the latest Apple Watch.
D.By being accessible to Food and Drug Administration clearance for the heart monitor.
10．According to the passage, if someone wants to get an on-the-fly heart checkup, he or she ______.
A.can equip himself/herself with an ECG machine
B.can purchase an Apple Watch of any model
C.can buy a new Apple Watch Series 4
D.can have his or her old Apple Watch updated
11．The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A.advertise and promote a new kind of Apple watch
B.inform us of a new function of the latest Apple Watch
C.tell us a lucky story of Foley's being saved by his new Apple Watch
D.warn us of the danger of not being equipped with the latest Apple Watch
Knotting his brows at some medical reports, one old man sensed a potential danger. On that day, 59 citizens in Wuhan had caught pneumonia(肺炎)of unknown etiology. The phenomenon reminded him of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak that had spread across China 17 years ago. It was he who had come up with an effective treatment for SARS.
China's most respectable epidemiologist(流行病学家), 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan, is widely known to the public as the hero who defeated SARS. After a lifetime researching respiratory diseases, he was keenly aware that the new pneumonia may not be a simple disease, but a Pandora's box that could engulf the world.
Zhong grew up in a family of doctors, and lives by a simple motto: save lives and always be honest. In 2003, when SARS spread across China, he volunteered to treat patients, staying in hospital wards for weeks on end to study the disease. At the same time, he also spent countless nights in his lab looking for a cure for the deadly disease. His efforts paid off. Months later, his treatment plan for SARS was adopted by China and then the whole world, saving thousands of lives.
Zhong is also known for an incident. When authorities announced that the virus had been brought under control, he publicly criticized the assessment, deciding instead to tell the public the truth. In one post-SARS interview, he said: "I couldn't help myself. I said it's not all under control." His virtue(美德)won widespread praise from the Chinese public, who hailed him as a hero.
Seventeen years later, the old man is once again leading a team in a battle. Although this new virus is known to be particularly dangerous to the elderly, Zhong paid little attention to his own safety. On January 29, he and his colleagues spent over six hours on an online medical inquiry, checking five patients who were in critical condition.
"The hospitals are our battlefield, and doctors and nurses are warriors. When we are needed, we should charge forward, because this is our duty!" said Zhong.
As well as treating the patients, Zhong is also a messenger who delivers factual updates of COVID-19 to the public. Being unfamiliar with social medical platforms, he has asked colleagues to help him make videos aimed at calming fears about the virus and teaching the public how to prevent the disease, such as how to wash hands or wear a mask correctly.
While praised as hero, Zhong told the media that Wuhan, the center of China's COVID-19 outbreak and where tens of thousands of citizens have been confined to their homes for weeks to prevent the spread of the disease, also deserves that honor.
12．What does the underlined word "engulf" in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Sweep over. B.Get over. C.Take over. D.Pull over.
13．What does the third and fourth paragraph mainly want to tell us
A.Zhong didn't hesitate to voice the truth.
B.Zhong is a virtuous and honest doctor.
C.Zhong's honesty was highly praised in China.
D.Zhong and his team worked on end in the lab.
14．According to the passage, Zhong has done the following EXCEPT ______.
A.educating people on COVID-19 prevention B.
making great contributions to SARS treatment
C.giving a daily check on COVID-19 patients
D.inspiring doctors and nurses to charge forward like warriors
15．What does Zhong think of Wuhan
A.A Pandora's box. B. Acity of heroes.
C.A place full of secrets. D.A window for observation.

In 1994 an 8.2 earthquake hit America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes.
As soon as the earthquake was over, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the unforgettably initial shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: "No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his promise to his son.
He began to draw his attention towards where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his son's classroom would be in the back right comer of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the ruins.
As he was digging, other helpless parents arrived, with a broken heart, shouting: "My son!" "My daughter!" Other well meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: "It's too late! They're all dead! You can't help! Go home! Come on, face reality, there's nothing you can do!"
To each parent he responded with one line: "Are you going to help me now " And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone. The firefighters showed up and tried to pull him off the school's ruins, saying, "Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere. You're in danger. We'll take care of it. Go home." However, the father asked, "Are you going to help me now " The police came and said, "You're anxious and it's over. You're endangering others. Go home. We'll handle it!" Again, he replied, "Are you going to help me now " No one helped.
