The Global Programs Office (GPO) specializes in study, internships, and service-learning opportunities abroad. There are several avenues for students to pursue academic experiences abroad and GPO helps find the program that best fits their goals. Students may study abroad during spring break, January intersession, summer, or for a semester. GPO also provides services and support to international students, regardless of status, at Daemen.
Undergraduate/Graduate study abroad policies
Students who intend to study, volunteer, or conduct research abroad must have their proposed coursework approved by their department and the GPO before departure. Most programs require a 2.5 GPA (平均学分绩点) to participate (at least a 3.0 GPA for graduate students). To be approved to study abroad, all students must submit requirements before departure and start of the study abroad program. If the student fails to obey, the student will not be approved to study abroad as a Daemen student. Grades earned as part of a study abroad program are factored into each student's GPA.
International Student Services
GPO is responsible for helping international students obtain the immigration (移民) benefits to which they are entitled. It also assists in obtaining social security cards and driver's licenses. Each semester they organize events for Daemen's international community to get to know the great Buffalo area and experience American culture.
21.What can we know about GPO
A.It is a community university.
B.It is a non-profit organization.
C.It provides guidance on applying for living abroad.
D.It helps students obtain opportunities to study abroad.
22.What will happen if Daemen students complete their coursework
A.Their GPA will increase. B.They will win a scholarship.
C.Their grades will be excellent. D.They will receive two diplomas.
23.Which of the following is included in International Student Services
A.Helping students become experts on education.
B.Assisting students in obtaining social welfare.
C.Encouraging students to volunteer at Daemen.
D.Training students to work in local communities.
B
A few months ago, I logged into a Zoom talk to discover that every little box was labeled “Jane”. The organizer had accidentally sent out the host link, which somehow gave us all the same name. Most attendees found this amusing. But it really isn't cool for me. I have congenital prosopagnosia—face blindness. I can see faces, but the individual details, such as the distance between the eyes or the shape of the nose, are unclear. As a result, recognizing faces—something so instant and unconscious for most—is a major challenge.
Over the years I developed coping mechanisms, such as offering equal-opportunity smiles to all. To distinguish people, I relied on extrafacial cues—the brightly coloured heels one person wears, the way another's head moves when they walk, the scent of cigarettes, a habitual lunch spot on a bench. There were many embarrassing occasions as I pursued my neuroscience career, like when I asked the wrong professor how her sick husband was doing. But overall, I was managing.
But in some cases, there's little I can do. At a recent small conference, a faculty member I know found me to say hello, and I wanted to make sure I responded accordingly when I saw her next. I thought I could recognize her by her hairstyle, but I ended up saying hello to four different women—none of whom was her.
Sometimes I feel like something out of a science-fiction plot. A recent Zoom presentation really hammered this home. Titled “You Don't Belong Here”, it was intended to show how some environments can be exclusionary (排外的) and what can be done to address that. But as the members alternated between acting out scenes and commenting on them, referring to their alter egos (第二自我) in the third person, I was confused. I left feeling exactly as the title said: “You don't belong here.”
Academics with disabilities exist, and we need our colleagues to think broadly and creatively about accessibility and inclusion. Let's create an environment where we all feel like we belong.
24.Why does the author hold negative attitude toward the Zoom Talk accident
A.He is unfamiliar with the environment.
B.He feels disrespect from the organizer.
C.He has difficulty keeping one's name in mind.
D.It's hard for him to recognize the real identity.
25.How does the author usually deal with his problem
A.By remembering the person's typical characteristics.
B.By communicating with the person often.
C.By repeating the person's name again and again.
D.By labeling the person with his imagination.
26.Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 3
A.To criticize his carelessness. B.To show his powerlessness.
C.To describe his kindness. D.To complain about meetings.
27.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A.The author always likes reading science fiction.
B.The conference aimed to protect the environment.
C.The author was confused about the title of the presentation.
D.An inclusive environment should be set up for individuals.
C
Ants are known to undergo extreme measures to save their own. Past studies have shown the industrious insects carrying wounded partners back to the nest to heal and even exploding and sacrificing themselves to save their regions from predators (捕食者). Now, a team of young researchers in Panama has an amazing discovery.
The event began during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-2020.To pass time during that time, Alex Wcislo and his friends decided to shoot clay balls at trees. They targeted the flat, broad leaves of the slender Cecropia trees to make the task more challenging. Things were going well until one of the 9 mm clay balls accidentally hit one of the tree trunks, leaving a clean exit and entry wound.
Concerned that he had caused permanent damage, Alex returned to examine the tree the following morning. He was accompanied by his father, William Wcislo, an entomologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI). To their surprise, the hole had been completely repaired!
Curious to find out what was going on, Alex and his friends joined the STRI's volunteer program. After setting up the experiment parameters (实验参数) with William, the teens got to work. They drilled holes in the Cecropia trees in the neighbourhood and then carefully documented what followed.
The young scientists found that in 14 of the 22 cases, a crowd of Azteca alfari ants instantly gathered in the damaged area. The hardworking insects instantly got to work and, using material from the stems, significantly reduced the size of the hole within two and a half hours. In most cases, the gap was completely sealed within 24 hours.
Alex and his team, who published their findings in the Journal of Hymenoptera Research on December 30, 2021, still have one mystery to solve. They are not sure why the insects did not repair all the holes. Understanding this selective behavior is something they hope to explore in the future.
28.What is the author's main purpose of writing paragraph 2
A.To show the special skills ants possess.
B.To prove how creative the young researchers are.
C.To explain how hard life was during that time.
D.To introduce the background of the new discovery.
29.What is the discovery about
A.The trouble the pandemic has caused.
B.The way parents educate their children.
C.The ability ants repair the damaged trees.
D.The forms of entertainment in daily life.
30.How did the young scientists get their finding
A.By comparing different studies.
B.By conducting an experiement.
C.By consulting other scientists.
D.By analyzing previous data.
31.What can we learn from Alex's story
A.A good beginning is half done.
B.Usually a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit.
C.Care and hard work bring luck.
D.Curiosity can lead to an unexpected outcome.
D
“The benefits of spacing and retrieval (检索) practice have been confirmed over and over in studies in labs, classrooms, workplaces, but the reason why we're showcasing this research is that these two techniques haven't fully caught on. If they were applied all the time, we'd see dramatic increases in learning,” said Iowa State University Psychology Professor Shana Carpenter.
In the paper, Carpenter and her co-authors describe spacing as a strategy to learn in small doses over time. It's the opposite of cramming the night before an exam. In one study, medical students who received repeated surgery training over three weeks performed better and faster on tests 2 weeks and 1 year later compared to medical students who had the same training all on one day. Carpenter says there isn't a universal rule about how much time to schedule between practice sessions. But research shows returning to the material after forgetting some—but not all—of the content is effective.
Retrieval practice is a strategy that involves recalling what was learned previously. It can take many forms, including flash cards, practice tests and open-ended writing prompts (提示), and helps learners recognize what they do and don't know. The paper's authors emphasize that people who check their responses for errors or get feedback right away learn even better.
The authors argue people who combine spacing and retrieval practice have the best chance of remembering information. “Forgetting is a very natural thing; you can't stop forgetting even if you try, but you can slow down forgetting by using retrieval practice and spacing,” said Carpenter.
Carpenter acknowledges many people do not like making mistakes or realizing they don't understand the material as well as they thought. It may arouse insecurities, a fear of failing or some other emotions they want to avoid. But there's a good chance they'll eventually have to face up to what they don't know. “Learning how to learn is going to ensure that anywhere you go after the formal education years, you're going to know how to learn something and be successful,” she said.
32.Why does Carpenter present her research
A.To introduce a new discovery. B.To advocate the learning strategies.
C.To share her achievements. D.To restate her opinion about learning.
33.Which can best replace the underlined word “cramming” in paragraph 2
A.Working hard. B.Staying calm.
C.Feeling regretful. D.Taking exercise.
34.How can one learn more effectively according to the text
A.By making as few mistakes as possible.
B.By learning a lot in a short time.
C.By reviewing errors regularly.
D.By checking and reflecting.
35.What is the best title for the text
A.Picking up a new hobby is beneficial
B.Forgetting is natural, but slow it down
C.Spacing and retrieval practice benefit learners
D.Combining all learning strategies is the key to success
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone has to wait in queues, for deliveries, for exam results, and for all sorts of other things. 36 . Learning to wait patiently, however, will help you deal with everyday life and be more comfortable taking long and unexpected waits calmly and easily.
Occupy your time.
One of the best ways to avoid becoming anxious during a long wait is to do something else at the same time to occupy you. 37 . You can cope with this by filling this time with another activity like answering some emails.
Wait with other people.
There is evidence which suggests that waiting for something with other people can help the time pass quicker. 38 , talking about what they are waiting for and sharing their excitement in a positive way.
39 .
If you have a very long wait for something, it can help to break it up into smaller chunks. Identifying short term goals and focusing on achieving these rather than the final end goal can help you to avoid becoming impatient. Setting small goals that you can achieve can help you to feel like you are taking control of your life, while also distracting you from the long wait that you cannot do anything to shorten.
Don't try too hard.
Finding ways to distract yourself is a tried and tested way of keeping impatience at bay and helping time pass. Research has suggested, however, trying to force yourself not to feel anxious can bring about even greater anxiety. 40 , and there is nothing you can do about it.
A.Break up a long wait
B.Accept that you will have to wait
C.Look for a more positive engagement
D.The point is that the people are engaging with each other
E.This won't always be practical, depending on the situation
F.Feeling impatient is a perfectly normal response to such a situation
G.One of the most frustrating sense is that you are losing valuable time

Three days. That's how long I gave myself to grieve before I got into 41 .Getting a terminal diagnosis for my 16-month-old son Max was the worst day of my life—but I've never been a 42 .
Max was diagnosed with a TBCD.Kids with TBCD mutations (变异) 43 lose all purposeful movement and vision by the age of 4, and hardly 44 for five years.
TBCD is referred to as an orphan disease. The medical community often uses this 45 to describe a disease so rare that the medical industries have given up researching 46 because not enough people experience it for there to be a 47 margin (空间). The number of people diagnosed and still alive is unlikely to have 48 thirty.
When my husband and I talked about what we were going to do, we decided to go all-in on 49 all kids with TBCD and started The TBCD Foundation, which is devoted to raising funds for research.
We emailed everyone who might be able to do anything; any 50 who had written a paper on it or worked on something similar. Each time, we were met with the same 51 — different variations of “no”, until we heard from Dr Allison Bradbury, who 52 out to us. Max is one of the luckiest patients, and so far, we have 53 results.
When Max was diagnosed, I realized I had a 54 : accept it, or fight like hell. Instead of 55 , sobbing, and watching my baby boy die, I'm fighting for his life with all I have.

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。
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain (排空) the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.
Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened (使……有趣) by all the activities and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.
As the man by the window described the full picture in great detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band—he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window described it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed.

1.续写词数应为150左右;

(Text 2)

M:No, not yet. I'm really worried. I'm asking my neighbors if they have seen him.
W:Well, why not telephone the police He probably just slept there overnight.
(Text 3)
W:My perfect holidays are for doing exciting things like climbing a mountain. That's my favorite. And I like horse riding, too. What about you, John

(Text 4)
W:Could you help me with something I'm trying to buy some theatre tickets online, but I can't open the web page.

(Text 5)

W:We didn't have time. The movie started late, so when we got out of the cinema, that place was closed.
(Text 6)
W:It's shown that your arm has a small break, but your leg's fine.
M:That's a relief.
W:How did the accident happen
M:Someone dropped a bottle of sauce at the supermarket, and I fell over on it.
W:Were there no warning signs
M:Yes, but I was talking on the phone and didn't notice them.
W:Oh, dear! How's your head feeling
M:Fine,I protected my head when I fell.
W:Good, the doctor is very busy now, but I'll ask him to have a look when he can.
(Text 7)
M:Oh, dear, don't worry about your weight. You worked hard, and you should treat yourself, not push yourself to diet.
W:Thanks, honey. But look at these dresses—how can I relax when I can hardly fit into them!
M:You look as healthy and beautiful as you did on our wedding day. If you want me to make healthy food for you, I'll prepare us vegetables and eggs every day for dinner. Just please, don't stress yourself out.
W:You always know the right thing to say.
M:I'm trying. I don't know much about dieting, but I want to learn about it with you.

(Text 8)
M:What a great gallery! It was a tiring journey, but now I feel refreshed here. I am glad to see these paintings in person.
W:Let's go to the impressionist section. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
M:I'd like to start with the abstract section, because that's the kind of art I do for a living.
W:OK, we'll do that. After that, the impressionist section, and then the modern section.
M:Sounds great. Oh, look at this. I can't believe I am standing face to face with such a famous work of art. How much do you think it is worth
W:When he was the first painter a century ago, the artist struggled to sell it. He sold it for only a few dollars in the end. Even 50 years ago, it was only valued at a few thousand.
M:I bet it would go for a few million now.
W:You are right.
(Text 9)
W:You look a bit tired, Ted.
M:Well, we just moved into a new apartment last weekend. And we've been unpacking and cleaning.
W:Oh, that can be tiring.

W:Doesn't your wife work at a bank
M:She did, but she was accepted this fall at Harvard, so she's taking some time off to get a master's degree.
W:Good for her.
M:By the way, do you know of anyone who does repair work We're looking for someone to repair our kitchen and bathroom. I hope the cost is reasonable.
W:I've got a friend who is a good repairman. He'd be able to do a super job on your apartment.
M:Oh, I'd really like to talk to him.
W:I'm not sure if he can do it right away, though. But I will give you his number, and you can give him a call yourself.

【答案】
One possible version:
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window. He had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
The man was happy to get such a wonderful treat. Slowly, painfully, he supported himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He struggled to slowly turn to look out of the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have driven his dead roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, “Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.”

A
The Global Programs Office (GPO) specializes in study, internships, and service-learning opportunities abroad. There are several avenues for students to pursue academic experiences abroad and GPO helps find the program that best fits their goals. Students may study abroad during spring break, January intersession, summer, or for a semester. GPO also provides services and support to international students, regardless of status, at Daemen.
Undergraduate/Graduate study abroad policies
Students who intend to study, volunteer, or conduct research abroad must have their proposed coursework approved by their department and the GPO before departure. Most programs require a 2.5 GPA (平均学分绩点) to participate (at least a 3.0 GPA for graduate students). To be approved to study abroad, all students must submit requirements before departure and start of the study abroad program. If the student fails to obey, the student will not be approved to study abroad as a Daemen student. Grades earned as part of a study abroad program are factored into each student's GPA.
International Student Services
GPO is responsible for helping international students obtain the immigration (移民) benefits to which they are entitled. It also assists in obtaining social security cards and driver's licenses. Each semester they organize events for Daemen's international community to get to know the great Buffalo area and experience American culture.
21.What can we know about GPO
A.It is a community university.
B.It is a non-profit organization.
C.It provides guidance on applying for living abroad.
D.It helps students obtain opportunities to study abroad.
22.What will happen if Daemen students complete their coursework
A.Their GPA will increase. B.They will win a scholarship.
C.Their grades will be excellent. D.They will receive two diplomas.
23.Which of the following is included in International Student Services
A.Helping students become experts on education.
B.Assisting students in obtaining social welfare.
C.Encouraging students to volunteer at Daemen.
D.Training students to work in local communities.
B
A few months ago, I logged into a Zoom talk to discover that every little box was labeled “Jane”. The organizer had accidentally sent out the host link, which somehow gave us all the same name. Most attendees found this amusing. But it really isn't cool for me. I have congenital prosopagnosia—face blindness. I can see faces, but the individual details, such as the distance between the eyes or the shape of the nose, are unclear. As a result, recognizing faces—something so instant and unconscious for most—is a major challenge.
Over the years I developed coping mechanisms, such as offering equal-opportunity smiles to all. To distinguish people, I relied on extrafacial cues—the brightly coloured heels one person wears, the way another's head moves when they walk, the scent of cigarettes, a habitual lunch spot on a bench. There were many embarrassing occasions as I pursued my neuroscience career, like when I asked the wrong professor how her sick husband was doing. But overall, I was managing.
But in some cases, there's little I can do. At a recent small conference, a faculty member I know found me to say hello, and I wanted to make sure I responded accordingly when I saw her next. I thought I could recognize her by her hairstyle, but I ended up saying hello to four different women—none of whom was her.
Sometimes I feel like something out of a science-fiction plot. A recent Zoom presentation really hammered this home. Titled “You Don't Belong Here”, it was intended to show how some environments can be exclusionary (排外的) and what can be done to address that. But as the members alternated between acting out scenes and commenting on them, referring to their alter egos (第二自我) in the third person, I was confused. I left feeling exactly as the title said: “You don't belong here.”
Academics with disabilities exist, and we need our colleagues to think broadly and creatively about accessibility and inclusion. Let's create an environment where we all feel like we belong.
24.Why does the author hold negative attitude toward the Zoom Talk accident
A.He is unfamiliar with the environment.
B.He feels disrespect from the organizer.
C.He has difficulty keeping one's name in mind.
D.It's hard for him to recognize the real identity.
25.How does the author usually deal with his problem
A.By remembering the person's typical characteristics.
B.By communicating with the person often.
C.By repeating the person's name again and again.
D.By labeling the person with his imagination.
26.Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 3
A.To criticize his carelessness. B.To show his powerlessness.
C.To describe his kindness. D.To complain about meetings.
27.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A.The author always likes reading science fiction.
B.The conference aimed to protect the environment.
C.The author was confused about the title of the presentation.
D.An inclusive environment should be set up for individuals.
C
Ants are known to undergo extreme measures to save their own. Past studies have shown the industrious insects carrying wounded partners back to the nest to heal and even exploding and sacrificing themselves to save their regions from predators (捕食者). Now, a team of young researchers in Panama has an amazing discovery.
The event began during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-2020.To pass time during that time, Alex Wcislo and his friends decided to shoot clay balls at trees. They targeted the flat, broad leaves of the slender Cecropia trees to make the task more challenging. Things were going well until one of the 9 mm clay balls accidentally hit one of the tree trunks, leaving a clean exit and entry wound.
Concerned that he had caused permanent damage, Alex returned to examine the tree the following morning. He was accompanied by his father, William Wcislo, an entomologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI). To their surprise, the hole had been completely repaired!
Curious to find out what was going on, Alex and his friends joined the STRI's volunteer program. After setting up the experiment parameters (实验参数) with William, the teens got to work. They drilled holes in the Cecropia trees in the neighbourhood and then carefully documented what followed.
The young scientists found that in 14 of the 22 cases, a crowd of Azteca alfari ants instantly gathered in the damaged area. The hardworking insects instantly got to work and, using material from the stems, significantly reduced the size of the hole within two and a half hours. In most cases, the gap was completely sealed within 24 hours.
Alex and his team, who published their findings in the Journal of Hymenoptera Research on December 30, 2021, still have one mystery to solve. They are not sure why the insects did not repair all the holes. Understanding this selective behavior is something they hope to explore in the future.
28.What is the author's main purpose of writing paragraph 2
A.To show the special skills ants possess.
B.To prove how creative the young researchers are.
C.To explain how hard life was during that time.
D.To introduce the background of the new discovery.
29.What is the discovery about
A.The trouble the pandemic has caused.
B.The way parents educate their children.
C.The ability ants repair the damaged trees.
D.The forms of entertainment in daily life.
30.How did the young scientists get their finding
A.By comparing different studies.
B.By conducting an experiement.
C.By consulting other scientists.
D.By analyzing previous data.
31.What can we learn from Alex's story
A.A good beginning is half done.
B.Usually a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit.
C.Care and hard work bring luck.
D.Curiosity can lead to an unexpected outcome.
D
“The benefits of spacing and retrieval (检索) practice have been confirmed over and over in studies in labs, classrooms, workplaces, but the reason why we're showcasing this research is that these two techniques haven't fully caught on. If they were applied all the time, we'd see dramatic increases in learning,” said Iowa State University Psychology Professor Shana Carpenter.
In the paper, Carpenter and her co-authors describe spacing as a strategy to learn in small doses over time. It's the opposite of cramming the night before an exam. In one study, medical students who received repeated surgery training over three weeks performed better and faster on tests 2 weeks and 1 year later compared to medical students who had the same training all on one day. Carpenter says there isn't a universal rule about how much time to schedule between practice sessions. But research shows returning to the material after forgetting some—but not all—of the content is effective.
Retrieval practice is a strategy that involves recalling what was learned previously. It can take many forms, including flash cards, practice tests and open-ended writing prompts (提示), and helps learners recognize what they do and don't know. The paper's authors emphasize that people who check their responses for errors or get feedback right away learn even better.
The authors argue people who combine spacing and retrieval practice have the best chance of remembering information. “Forgetting is a very natural thing; you can't stop forgetting even if you try, but you can slow down forgetting by using retrieval practice and spacing,” said Carpenter.
Carpenter acknowledges many people do not like making mistakes or realizing they don't understand the material as well as they thought. It may arouse insecurities, a fear of failing or some other emotions they want to avoid. But there's a good chance they'll eventually have to face up to what they don't know. “Learning how to learn is going to ensure that anywhere you go after the formal education years, you're going to know how to learn something and be successful,” she said.
32.Why does Carpenter present her research
A.To introduce a new discovery. B.To advocate the learning strategies.
C.To share her achievements. D.To restate her opinion about learning.
33.Which can best replace the underlined word “cramming” in paragraph 2
A.Working hard. B.Staying calm.
C.Feeling regretful. D.Taking exercise.
34.How can one learn more effectively according to the text
A.By making as few mistakes as possible.
B.By learning a lot in a short time.
C.By reviewing errors regularly.
D.By checking and reflecting.
35.What is the best title for the text
A.Picking up a new hobby is beneficial
B.Forgetting is natural, but slow it down
C.Spacing and retrieval practice benefit learners
D.Combining all learning strategies is the key to success

Everyone has to wait in queues, for deliveries, for exam results, and for all sorts of other things. 36 . Learning to wait patiently, however, will help you deal with everyday life and be more comfortable taking long and unexpected waits calmly and easily.
Occupy your time.
One of the best ways to avoid becoming anxious during a long wait is to do something else at the same time to occupy you. 37 . You can cope with this by filling this time with another activity like answering some emails.
Wait with other people.
There is evidence which suggests that waiting for something with other people can help the time pass quicker. 38 , talking about what they are waiting for and sharing their excitement in a positive way.
39 .
If you have a very long wait for something, it can help to break it up into smaller chunks. Identifying short term goals and focusing on achieving these rather than the final end goal can help you to avoid becoming impatient. Setting small goals that you can achieve can help you to feel like you are taking control of your life, while also distracting you from the long wait that you cannot do anything to shorten.
Don't try too hard.
Finding ways to distract yourself is a tried and tested way of keeping impatience at bay and helping time pass. Research has suggested, however, trying to force yourself not to feel anxious can bring about even greater anxiety. 40 , and there is nothing you can do about it.
A.Break up a long wait
B.Accept that you will have to wait
C.Look for a more positive engagement
D.The point is that the people are engaging with each other
E.This won't always be practical, depending on the situation
F.Feeling impatient is a perfectly normal response to such a situation
G.One of the most frustrating sense is that you are losing valuable time

Three days. That's how long I gave myself to grieve before I got into 41 .Getting a terminal diagnosis for my 16-month-old son Max was the worst day of my life—but I've never been a 42 .
Max was diagnosed with a TBCD.Kids with TBCD mutations (变异) 43 lose all purposeful movement and vision by the age of 4, and hardly 44 for five years.
TBCD is referred to as an orphan disease. The medical community often uses this 45 to describe a disease so rare that the medical industries have given up researching 46 because not enough people experience it for there to be a 47 margin (空间). The number of people diagnosed and still alive is unlikely to have 48 thirty.
When my husband and I talked about what we were going to do, we decided to go all-in on 49 all kids with TBCD and started The TBCD Foundation, which is devoted to raising funds for research.
We emailed everyone who might be able to do anything; any 50 who had written a paper on it or worked on something similar. Each time, we were met with the same 51 — different variations of “no”, until we heard from Dr Allison Bradbury, who 52 out to us. Max is one of the luckiest patients, and so far, we have 53 results.
When Max was diagnosed, I realized I had a 54 : accept it, or fight like hell. Instead of 55 , sobbing, and watching my baby boy die, I'm fighting for his life with all I have.

Li Jing, 34, is a Peking Opera actress and also a teacher at the Donggaodi Youth Science and Technology Museum in Beijing. Recently she co-directed a “campus Peking Opera” 56 was attractive to students. The youngest player was a grade two primary school pupil, while the 57 (old) was in the second year of high school.
The opera tells the story of Chang'e, the Chinese goddess of the moon, and the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program named 58 her. “I hope that more teenagers can gain an interest and understanding of the art form by watching this ‘campus Peking Opera’,” Li Jing said.

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。
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain (排空) the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.
Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened (使……有趣) by all the activities and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.
As the man by the window described the full picture in great detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band—he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window described it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed.

M:Yes, but I was talking on the phone and didn't notice them.
W:Oh, dear! How's your head feeling
M:Fine,I protected my head when I fell.
W:Good, the doctor is very busy now, but I'll ask him to have a look when he can.

M:Oh, dear, don't worry about your weight. You worked hard, and you should treat yourself, not push yourself to diet.
W:Thanks, honey. But look at these dresses—how can I relax when I can hardly fit into them!
M:You look as healthy and beautiful as you did on our wedding day. If you want me to make healthy food for you, I'll prepare us vegetables and eggs every day for dinner. Just please, don't stress yourself out.
W:You always know the right thing to say.
M:I'm trying. I don't know much about dieting, but I want to learn about it with you.
W:That's so sweet of you.

M:What a great gallery! It was a tiring journey, but now I feel refreshed here. I am glad to see these paintings in person.
W:Let's go to the impressionist section. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
M:I'd like to start with the abstract section, because that's the kind of art I do for a living.
W:OK, we'll do that. After that, the impressionist section, and then the modern section.
M:Sounds great. Oh, look at this. I can't believe I am standing face to face with such a famous work of art. How much do you think it is worth
W:When he was the first painter a century ago, the artist struggled to sell it. He sold it for only a few dollars in the end. Even 50 years ago, it was only valued at a few thousand.
M:I bet it would go for a few million now.
W:You are right.

W:You look a bit tired, Ted.
M:Well, we just moved into a new apartment last weekend. And we've been unpacking and cleaning.
W:Oh, that can be tiring.
M:Yes, especially since I work all day, and Mary's in school full-time now.
W:Doesn't your wife work at a bank
M:She did, but she was accepted this fall at Harvard, so she's taking some time off to get a master's degree.
W:Good for her.
M:By the way, do you know of anyone who does repair work We're looking for someone to repair our kitchen and bathroom. I hope the cost is reasonable.
W:I've got a friend who is a good repairman. He'd be able to do a super job on your apartment.
M:Oh, I'd really like to talk to him.
W:I'm not sure if he can do it right away, though. But I will give you his number, and you can give him a call yourself.
M:Thanks. It's certainly worth a try, and if he can't do it himself, he can put me in touch with someone who can.

第二节 (满分25分)
【答案】
One possible version:
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window. He had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
The man was happy to get such a wonderful treat. Slowly, painfully, he supported himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He struggled to slowly turn to look out of the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have driven his dead roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, “Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.”
