Growing up in Cyprus, Elena felt she was different from other girls — she was interested in biology. But it was a family tragedy that helped shape her determination to major in medicine. “My parents lost their first child because he had Down’s syndrome. He passed away when I was about seven years old,” she says. “And I guess that’s always been playing on my mind and I gradually formed the idea of studying medicine.”
At about 14, she set her sights on studying medicine in the UK. “Despite being a student from a foreign country, I achieved A-levels in all my subjects, considered suitable for medicine,” she says. Now as a consultant surgeon at one of the busiest major trauma(创伤)units in England, Elena has spoken of her successful career and the challenges she has encountered as a female doctor including sometimes having to remind patients suspicious of her that “I am the surgeon”.
Elena’ s main job is working with the major trauma team, but is also involved in the team dealing with patients that have severe surgical issues. “When I’m a consultant, I have a position of responsibility not only towards my patients, but also towards the team that I cooperate with,” she says. Working hard, she has never experienced prejudice from other male surgeons, who show great respect for her.
Elena does not shy away from the fact that being a woman has sometimes felt like a disadvantage. “Find what you love doing day after day, because your professional career is a long time, and it takes a lot— probably like 20 or 30 years of your life. Therefore, it’s of great significance to do what you are fond of and then just go for it,” she says.
24. What inspired Elena to pursue a career in medicine
A. A childhood incident. B. Her desire for being different.
C. Her interest in biology. D. Encouragement from her parents.
25. What was one challenge Elena faced
A. Gaining acceptance from her patients. B. Achieving A-levels in her English studies.
C. Obtaining good scores as a foreign student. D. Reminding herself about her being a doctor.
26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Respect from other surgeons. B. Elena’s main responsibilities.
C. Prejudice from Elena’s patients. D. Medical staff’s devotion to the job.
27. What is Elena’s advice on choosing a career
A. Make a long-term professional plan. B. Know your strengths and weaknesses.
C. Follow your passion and determination. D. Understand your career responsibilities.
C
Animals hibernate(冬眠)to conserve energy during cold months when food is in shortage, slowing their heart rate and dropping their body temperature to enter an inactive state. This is only survivable if their blood continues to flow and supply oxygen to the body, but scientists haven’t fully understood how this happens. If they can figure out how, the potential significance is that people might one day be able to copy the process for medical treatments or long-distance space travel.
Scientists already know that red blood cells change shape to fit different pressures and blood vessel sizes. To investigate if something like this happens in the cells of hibernating animals to keep blood flowing, Gerald Kerth and his team turned to bats.
By analysing thousands of red blood cells from bats and people, they discovered that the cells became thicker and stickier as temperatures dropped from 37℃ to 23℃. But when they cooled the cells to 10℃, the bat cells continued this metamorphosis, whereas the human cells did not. Indeed, the bat cells continued to function. This change might slow down the cells as they pass through capillaries(毛细血管)in the muscles and lungs, making them efficient at exchanging gases, like oxygen, throughout the body. The team believes that the mechanical properties of the bat red blood cell membranes(膜)play a key role.
The findings suggest that drugs could one day enable human red blood cell membranes to imitate the way the bat membranes react to the cold. Surgeons already use body cooling during certain procedures to slow down metabolism, which can help prevent organ damage in people experiencing heart attacks, organ transplants or major brain surgery. “Being able to lengthen that cooling time, or drop the temperature lower, could increase those benefits,” says Kerth.
Nature is full of yet-to-be-disclosed secrets that can teach us how to overcome present and future medical and technological challenges. In the future, hibernation will allow of efficient long-distance space travel, requiring minimum food and resources while preserving health during the journey.
28. Why is studying animal hibernation significant
A. It benefits human’s active states. B. It brings about medical advances.
C. It contributes to a tourism boom. D. It promises human’s healthy heart rate.
29. What does the underlined word “metamorphosis” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Decline. B. Destruction. C. Transportation. D. Transformation.
30. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. Cooling techniques have improved. B. Drugs make human cells work like bat cells.
C. Body cooling matters in surgeries. D. Lower body temperature helps organ recovery.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward Gerald Kerth’s research
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
D
Despite decades of indoor smoking bans and restrictions which serve to protect non-smoking people from exposure to second-hand smoke, a new research from Drexel University suggests that third-hand smoke, the chemical residue (残留物)from cigarette smoke that attaches itself to anything and anyone nearby, can make its way into the air and spread through buildings where no one is smoking.
Peter DeCarlo, an atmospheric chemist at Drexel, revealed the new exposure route for third-hand smoke — through aerosol particles(气溶胶颗粒) which are common particles suspended in the air— they come from various sources and are harmful to health. “In an empty classroom, where smoking has not been allowed, we found that 29 percent of the entire indoor aerosol mass contained third-hand smoke chemical species. This shocked us and raised many questions about how that much third-hand smoke could continue to exist in a non-smoking room,” he says.
To investigate the cause of this surprising finding, DeCarlo and his coworkers first made cigarette smoke flow into a Pyrex container, allowing the smoke chemicals to stay inside. Then they made any residual smoke flow out of the container before pulling outdoor air through it to clear out any second-hand smoke. After a day, purified outdoor air was passed through the container and the researchers measured the chemical composition of the aerosol particles it acquired and compared it to outdoor air that hadn’t passed through the container. They found a 13 percent increase in third-hand smoke chemical species in the air that went through the Pyrex container, which meant that, though it seemed as though the smoke had cleared, a chemical residue still existed and found a way to attach itself to passing aerosol particles.
This means that the discovery was by no means unique to that classroom; in fact, it’s likely quite a widespread phenomenon. “While most people expect that they’ ll be exposed to air pollution from cars, or other chemicals in low concentrations when they’ re outside — they tend to think that they’ re escaping all that when they step indoors,” DeCarlo says. “Understanding that we are constantly exposed to these chemicals, even in our workplaces, is a challenge to communicate to the public.”
32. What does the research show
A. Third-hand smoke spreads widely. B. Smoking bans function well.
C. Smoke residue exists temporarily. D. Indoor smoking is strictly restricted.
33. Why was the discovery in the classroom surprising
A. Smoking was permitted there. B. New aerosol particles appeared there.
C. Chemical species there raised a debate. D. Partial aerosol particles there carried smoke.
34. How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By observing chemicals in the lab. B. By comparing indoor and outdoor air.
C. By modeling third-hand smoke exposure. D. By measuring air quality in containers.
35. What does DeCarlo imply in the last paragraph
A. People face new working challenges.
B. Their discovery is against expectations.
C. Smoke exposure raises widespread concerns.
D. Staying indoors frees people from air pollution.

Intuition(直觉力)is a survival skill that assists you in avoiding danger and making new discoveries. Tuning into your intuition can enable you to understand yourself better. 36
Intuition is a quiet voice within your mind that tells you when something is right or wrong. It’s also known as a “gut feeling”— for example when you know you’ ll be friends with someone before you’ve even spoken to them. Author Beatrice Moise describes intuition as “an awareness of your senses, the feeling of butterflies in your stomach or suddenly being aware of your heartbeat or breathing”. Intuition occurs when your brain compares what’s going on around you with experiences stored in your memories. 37 This explains why you occasionally make speedy decisions that appear from nowhere.
38 Listening to your intuition and gut feelings involves trusting your judgement. This helps you by building confidence, which makes it easier to face challenges and discover what you’re good at. Trusting your gut feelings means you can recognize when people or places make you uncomfortable and helps keep you safe. 39 Therefore, only take a chance on things that are safe and familiar, like choosing fun ingredients for a cake.
You should have a full recognition of your intuition, which means paying attention to what your body feels and what your head thinks. Try noticing how your body behaves when you’ re delighted, like going on holiday or seeing friends. This can help guide you in making decisions. 40 Did you have any feelings that things weren’t going your way If something makes you feel tense or uncomfortable, don’t do it or wait until you have time to think it through properly.
A. How does your intuition help you
B. How can you make others trust your intuition
C. It can also help you discover what you’re good at.
D. These can help correct all the wrong decisions you made.
E. It creates a feeling so fast that you often don’t even notice it.
F. Similarly, focus on how you think when you’ve made a bad choice.
G. However, like any decision you make, your intuition won’t always be right.

Since the first time AlphaGo Master, an artificial intelligence program developed by the Google-owned AI lab, defeated the world’s No.1 player at Go, namely the ancient Chinese game of strategy Weiqi, AI programs like this 56 (adopt)to improve players’ skills. Go is still a unique game in 57 (compare)with the computer to some extent, though.
Many people have found their imagination constantly 58 (fire) by the game full of open- minded possibilities and feel-good charms from simple white and black stones on 59 ordinary wooden boar的、. They look on the game 60 the universe where the board is the earth and the black and white stones are the yin and yang, the only two life forces 61 both war against each other and work together. The simple pattern of black and white stones 62 (show) the same taste as calligraphy and traditional Chinese ink-wash paintings, both suiting the game to Chinese sensibilities and allowing for limitless 63 (flight)of fancy as people look at the arrangement of pieces on a board and see a beautiful landscape.
So while a person — or machine, for that matter — needs high-level thinking skills to play Go, the game, as a recreational way 64 (touch)the heart and soul as well as the mind, is much more than this. This is why it can’t possibly be as 65 (appeal)to play Go against a machine as it is to play against another person.

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。
Lily complained as she struggled to remove a mark on her dream California Spirit T-shirt. Lily was not feeling any sort of California Spirit at all. Moreover, she was not in high spirits at all. Her annoying twin sister, Polly, had completely ruined her nice weekend.
Maybe Lily had pushed Polly unintentionally, causing her to spill(洒出)juice everywhere onto the floor, and mom had blamed Polly without letting her explain. Polly, in a stormy mood, spilled a cup of coffee onto Lily, ruining the new T-shirt. Polly was so angry that she avoided Lily all through the weekend, not feeling like responding to Lily.
As Lily thought about all this, she couldn’t help feeling a bit sorrowful, remembering their joyful childhood when she and her sister helped each other and explored the unknown world around them together. She sighed and gave up trying to clean her shirt. Perhaps it was time to stop having a world war with her sister.
So, Lily changed into a clean T-shirt, set the dirty one aside, took a deep breath and knocked on her sister’s door. “What ” A mad shout came in from the room. Lily hesitantly entered the room. “I’m not Mom.” Polly looked confused for a second wondering why her sister was there. “Since when did you learn to knock ”
Lily ignored her sister’s comment, sat down heavily on the bed, and asked, “Do you want to conquer(征服)the world ” She didn’t actually mean to conquer the world, but when they were small, they liked to challenge themselves to climb a pretty high rock at the back of their house inside a small wood The sisters hadn’t actually managed to do that yet, and they gave up trying after a while since it looked a bit stupid for teenagers to climb a rock. After that, they basically forgot about the whole thing.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Polly looked puzzled for a second, and then laughed, “OK, let’s do it.” “Here we are.” Polly cheered, realizing it was time to apologize to Lily.
