When she was pregnant for the eighth time, Ines Ramirez Perez knew that she would not have an easy labor. The 40-year-old from a remote village in southern Mexico had already given birth to six surviving children. She’d lost her last baby due to bad delivery, and this time, after 12 hours of painful labor, Perez realized she was going to lose this baby too if she didn’t take action.
It was March 5, 2000, and the nearest medical facility was over 50 miles away. Perez’s husband, who had assisted with all of her previous births, was away and had no phone. Neither did Perez. She knew that if there was any hope of this baby surviving, she was going to have to deliver him herself.
She had no medical knowledge, but she relied on her experience on animals to operate on herself. After about an hour of hard work, she was able to pull the baby boy out. The baby began breathing immediately, and Perez grabbed a pair of scissors to cut his umbilical cord（脐带） before falling unconscious. Upon regaining consciousness, Perez wrapped her boy in a sweater and told one of her children, Benito, to ask for help. Benito returned with the local health worker, Leon Cruz, who sewed up Perez’ s wound. Cruz and another health worker helped transport Perez and her newborn to a hospital. There doctors were able to fully patch her up.
Doctors praised Perez’ s self-administered surgery, adding that it had saved both. She had no internal（内部）bleeding and was behaving almost exactly as it would have been. They would publish Perez’ s case study in the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics, helping to bring attention to the fight of women living in remote locations.
24. Why couldn’t Perez get help?
A. Help was far away. B. She couldn’t find her other children.
C. They were too poor. D. She couldn’t get through the line.
25. What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A. Kind and intelligent. B. Brave and strong-willed.
C. Experienced and brave. D. Determined and generous.

The piping plover（笛鸻）is already one of the most endangered birds in the Great Lakes area of the northern United States. Now, the rising water levels of Lake Michigan further threaten the birds and the areas where they live.
Water levels on the Great Lakes are reaching some of their highest points. Many sandy areas near the water are getting smaller, while others are underwater. The birds are forced to move closer to places with trees and bushes, or even to urban areas.
Vince Cavalieri works with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He told the AP that the high water levels put plovers in more danger than most other bird groups. That is because the areas where they live have been disappearing.
The Great Lakes generally rise with the melting snow and rainstorms of spring, and fall during the drier summer months. However, some scientists believe climate change is causing more changes in water levels. In a recent report, researchers Drew Gronewold and Richard Rood said, quick changes “...between extreme high and low water levels in the Great Lakes represent the ‘new normal.’”
If that is tree, the piping plovers could be at greater risk. Their numbers have already dropped because of shoreline development. The federal government lists the birds as threatened in the northern Great Plains and along the Atlantic coast. Rising sea levels there threaten their wintering grounds.
Recovery projects are helping. In 2017, officials counted 76 breeding pairs of plovers. Last year, they counted 67. Sleeping Bear Dunes is home to nearly half of the Great Lakes plovers during spring and summer. Officials place rope and signs around breeding areas to keep people away from them. Professionals and volunteers often serve as security guards for the plovers. They can also perform emergency rescues if flooding threatens the birds.
28. Why are plovers more endangered than most other bird groups?
A. Because they are hunted by humans. B. Because they are losing their habitat.
C. Because they can’t find enough food. D. Because they can’t adapt to the climate.
29. What does the underlined phrase “new normal” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Water levels drop quickly. B. Water levels change sharply.
C. Water levels rise quickly. D. Water temperature changes sharply.
30. What is the main threat to plovers along the Atlantic coast?
A. Pollution. B. Hunting. C. Rising sea level. D. Other animals.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. People are taking measures to help.
B. The situation will soon be improved.
C. There were more breeding pairs of plovers in 2017.
D. Sleeping Bear Dunes is home to the Great Lakes plovers.

Astronauts traveling in space meet forms of radiation that are uncommon on Earth. Some of this radiation has been shown to be harmful to human health. It is linked to cancers and heart problems. Yet a new American study suggests the radiation does not shorten astronauts’ lives.
Researchers studied nearly 60 years of health records and other data about male astronauts from the United States. They then compared this data with information about a group of men who are in good health, richer than most Americans and receive good health care—professional athletes. The study found that neither group has higher rates of dying at a young age. In fact, both groups generally live longer than other Americans.
Astronauts are usually well-educated, earn more money and are in better physical condition than the average American. Some earlier research has linked being an astronaut to a lower risk of early death, the researchers noted. The findings were reported in the publication Occupational & Environmental Medicine.
Much of the existing research on mortality rates in astronauts has not yet explored the mental and physical demands of this job. There also has not been a lot of research on whether astronauts show what is known as the “healthy worker effect”. This effect leads people with employment of any kind to have fewer medical problems than people who are unable to work, said Robert Reynolds.
Reynolds said, “The challenge has always been to understand if astronauts are as healthy as they would be had they been otherwise comparably employed but had never gone to space at all. To do this, we need to find a group that is comparable on several important factors.”
32. How did researchers carry out their study?
A. By doing interviews. B. By analyzing some factors.
C. By comparing different data. D. By doing experiments in the lab.
33. What can we learn form the text?
A. All radiation is harmful to human health.
B. Athletes tend to be poorer than most Americans.
C. Healthy worker effect makes working people healthier.
D. Research has explored the mental and physical demands of being astronauts.
34. What can be inferred from Reynolds’ words?
A. They are determined to face the challenge.
B. The research is almost impossible to conduct.
C. Several important factors hold back the research.
D. Astronauts are as healthy even they haven’t been Astronauts.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Astronauts—Healthier or Otherwise
B. Astronauts Are as Healthy as Athletes
C. Radiation Affects Astronauts’ Health
D. Astronauts Are Well-Educated and Earn More

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are many customary differences between the West and the East, of which are some of China’s eating habits, which many Westerners would find quite odd and hard to understand. 36
Not eating food dropped on a table. I’ve seen the disgust in people’s faces here when I’ve dropped food on the table only to then pick it up and eat it. 37 Our thought is, “A tabletop has had nothing but food on it. No one walks on it, sits on it or throws garbage on it. Why is it considered so dirty?” We don’t get it.
38 Westerners don’t want their food near the floor. Dust, germs, etc. are far more likely to get in/on the rice. I’ve been in several restaurants and nearly everyone I’ve seen puts their rice cookers on the floor.
Eating dessert before a meal. Every Western child’s dream would be to live in China for the purpose that he/she could eat their dessert before they eat their main meal. I’m not sure about this Western tradition of eating dessert last. In China, it doesn’t matter. 39 Westerners would find that very strange.
Drinking hot water with your meal. Often, it has been my experience that many Chinese will not have a drink（water, tea, etc.）with a meal. But, when they do, it is usually hot water. 40__ However, we westerners like cold water or cold drinks.
A. Putting rice cookers on the floor.
B. Having noodles or rice every day.
C. The following are just some them.
D. Americans do eat a lot of hamburgers.
E. You can have ice cream before your meal.
F. In the West, we clean our tabletops quite well.
G. I’ve often heard that hot water is better for digestion than cold water.

Scientists say that smartphones are changing the shape of people’s skulls. Some people are spending so long looking at smartphones 61 a small bony bump is appearing above their neck. Doctors say the bump is large enough to feel by 62 （press） the bottom of the skull, just above the neck. Dr David Shahar, a health scientist at the University of The Sunshine Coast in Australia, spoke to the BBC about the discovery. He said: “I 63 （be） a clinician for 20 years, and in the last decade I have been discovering that my 64 （patient）have this growth on the skull. ” The bump is becoming more frequent among 18 to 30-year-olds 65 spend many hours a day hunched（弯腰）over their smartphones.
A study 66 （lead）by Dr Shahar looked at the smartphone use of 1,200 people aged 18 to 86. Shahar said 18 to 30-year-olds were more likely 67 （have）the skull bumps than older generations. He said the bumps will probably be more common as we spend longer bending our necks while looking at our phones. Doctors say the bump could come from constantly bending the neck 68 unnatural angles to look at digital devices. Our head 69 （weigh）about 4.5 kilograms and bending our head at the same angle for a long time can strain the neck. Doctors are calling this strain “text neck”. They say the skull bump 70 （rare）causes health issues. They advised people to change their posture if their neck becomes sore.

I would never forget one unforgettable Sunday, where my father taught me to fly a kite. When we set out to the playground with a new kite, I felt extreme excited. My father first held the string for me, told me to run with the kite quickly and let them go when it is possible. And then I learnt how to handle the string. Although the kite fell to the ground again and again, but I finally got the hang of it and fly it high in the sky. Moreover, I also had better understanding of the word: “I am like a kite flying in the wind. One end is my ideal destination. The beginning of the kite string is the home I miss day and night.” I, just like the kite, is allowed to fly higher and higher by my family.
