It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy
softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm,
Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered (发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play.
The two didn’t know each other well—Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.
Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground, “Paris’s eye rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking. I
knew it was an emergency.”
It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris
would die. At first no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does
anyone know CPR ”
CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood
第3页/共9页
moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly.
Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t
think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began
doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.
Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get
the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices (器械) that can shock the heart back
into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’ heartbeat returned.
“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my
life.”
Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having
someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.
Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a
nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a
scary situation.”
24. What happened to Paris on a March day
A. She shivered terribly during practice. B. She caught a bad cold.
C. She was knocked down by a ball. D. She had a sudden heart problem.
25. Why does Paris say she was lucky
A. She received immediate CPR. B. She made a worthy friend.
C. She recovered from shock. D. She came back on the softball team.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Taylor
A. Courageous and calm. B. Passionate and kind.
C. Cooperative and generous. D. Ambitious and professional.
C
Plastic-Eating Worms
Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up
in landfills (垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way
to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.
Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can
break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a
commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about
92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for
the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste (糊状物) and applied it to
plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass—apparently broken down by enzymes
第4页/共9页
(酶) from the worms’ stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.
Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday
food-beeswax—also allows them to break down plastic. “Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond
in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well,” she explains. “The wax worm evolved a
method or system to break this bond.”
Jennifer Debruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the
study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with
previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn
says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by
its gut microbes (肠道微生物)
Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break
down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process—not
simply “millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.”
27. What can we learn about the worms in the study
A. They can consume plastics. B. They are newly evolved creatures.
C. They take plastics as their everyday food. D. They wind up in landfills.
28. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to ________.
A. identify other means of the breakdown B. find out the source of the enzyme
C. confirm the research findings D. increase the breakdown speed
29. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might ________.
A. help to raise worms B. help make plastic bags
C. be used to clean the oceans D. be produced in factories in future
30. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To present a way to break down plastics. B. To introduce the diet of a special worm.
C. To explain a study method on worms. D. To propose new means to keep eco-balance.

Man invented a number of means to cover distance—cars, planes, radio, TV, computers,
spaceships, etc. ＿＿3＿1＿＿ Reading is real fun, isn’t it It is a fantastic journey into the past or the
future, a true love story or a serious novel to challenge your thoughts, a detective or something funny
if you like humour.
You could see a lot of people, old and young, reading in many different places—in a park or on a
bus, in a plane or on a beach. It might be a magazine or a newspaper, a volume of poems or a lengthy
novel. ＿＿3＿2＿＿ They tell you a lot about life, people, and the fast changing world. They develop
imagination, love for word and expression and awaken a wish in you to create something. It is hard to
第5页/共9页
imagine life without books.
＿＿＿33＿＿ We sometimes look through the book to see what it is about. We may just want to
get the general idea from a newspaper article, a report, or a book in a bookshop. This type of reading
is called skimming reading.
Quick reading is also practiced when we want to get a particular piece of information, such as a
date or a telephone number. This is called scanning. We scan timetables, telephone directories,
dictionaries and web pages.
But if we want to get the detailed information, we read slowly and carefully. This is called
intensive reading, or study reading. ＿＿3＿4＿＿ We consult dictionaries if necessary. We take notes to
remember something important, such as a mathematical quotation (引证).
Reading fiction, a novel or a favourite poem, is also intensive reading. It needs training and special
skills to understand the entire content, the beauty of the expression. ＿＿＿35＿＿ It makes you laugh
your head off or cry your heart out.
A. In the latter case we check the meaning not to misunderstand something.
B. Books help you understand the world and yourself better.
C. But up till now, there has been only one way to cover time-books.
D. You get involved in the story.
E. Scanning is used when we need to locate special information.
F. Reading can be a social activity.
G. We read in many different ways and at different speeds.

Upgrade your problems
In 2017, I spent all my money buying my first flat—which meant I had no money to fix my first
homeowner’s problem. I was sleeping on an air mattress because I couldn’t afford furniture. Then I
noticed a leaky pipe under the bath, which created a wet puddle (水坑). I couldn’t afford a plumber
(水管工) but I didn’t want to introduce myself to the neighbour by crashing through their wet ceiling.
The only option left for me was that I had to solve the problem on my own. I took the bus to a
nearby store and talked with the nice guy behind the counter. He explained how to fix it and sold me a
pipe cutter and a bit of pipework. I went back home, pushed my head under the bath, and got the job
done.
It taught me a lesson that has since become a bit of motto for me: Upgrade your problems.
Having a wet bathroom floor is a problem—and the day before I bought the place, I would have
第6页/共9页
had a landlord to call. But once the place was mine, this became my problem. I saw this as progress:
You must own your own property to take care of this sort of situation.
Years later, when I founded my professional services company with my business partner, Adam,
this motto became core to how we approach the business. There have been many problems, and there
will continue to be new ones. However, we remember the reason we have these problems—it’s because
we run our own business! A late-paying customer is a problem, but it’s one we encounter only if we
have paying customers.
That is why I still keep the pipe cutter on my desk today. It reminds me that, no matter my level
of frustration (挫败), I am fortunate to face the problems I do. The more I solve them, the more I
upgrade to even better ones.
36. What did the author notice in his first flat
37. How did the author solve his problem with the bath
38. Please decide which part is false in the following statement then underline it and explain why.
The author still keeps the pipe cutter on his desk today because it reminds him of his success
in business.
39. What else would you do when you encounter problems in life (In about 40 words)
