When the phone rang, Rebecca Richards-Kortum thought it was a telemarketer. Instead, it was the MacArthur Foundation calling to tell her she’d just won a grant totaling $625,000. The MacArthur Fellowships, known as the “genius grants”, are often given out each year to 20 to 30 people who show “exceptional creativity.” Past winners have included painters, filmmakers, scientists, a violin-maker, human rights lawyers and others.

In announcing Rebecca as one of this year’s 23 fellows, the Foundation noted her commitment to “improving access to quality health care for all the world’s people”. Rebecca, who teaches bioengineering at Rice University in Houston, is not only developing novel solutions but also training and inspiring the next generation of engineers and scientists to address our shared global challenges. She has made a name for herself in the field not for her own inventions, but for the incredible creativity of her students.

Rebecca says she challenges students to design new medical devices and technologies that can actually be put into practice in low-resource settings. “In the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Malawi, there are 83 broken oxygen concentrators. If any one of them was working, it could be saving lives.” The original syringe pump(注射泵) could operate for only an hour or two on battery backup, but Malawi currently is facing major power outages(断供期). So Rebecca asked her students to re-engineer the device and they’ve come up with a new syringe pump that can run for 66 hours.

In addition to teaching and overseeing projects in remote parts of the developing world, Richards-Kortum is married with six children. She also runs marathons and is planning to run the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D. C. next month. Rebecca says she thinks about marathon running in relation to her work teaching bioengineering. Those final steps in building a new medical device or using a new technology in the field can be the most difficult. “We all have times when we need to hear ‘Come on! You can make it!’” she says. “As an educator, my job is to be that voice.”

24. Why could Rebecca win the MacArthur Fellowships?

A. Because she had just won a genius grant up to $625,000.

B. Because she inspired students to re-engineer medical devices.

C. Because she was devoted to making quality health care available.

D. Because she worked at Rice University as a bioengineering teacher.

25. What’s the purpose of mentioning the syringe pump in Paragraph 3?

A. To explain the big challenges she met while teaching.

B. To prove the exceptional creativity of Rebecca’s students.

C. To stress the importance of designing low-resource devices.

D. To show her achievement in stimulating students’ creativity.

26. Which of the following words can best describe Rebecca?

A. Responsible and committed. B. Patient and generous.

C. Energetic and cooperative. D. Critical and courageous.

27. What do the underlined words “that voice” refer to in the last paragraph?

A. The voice of cheers.  B. The voice of encouragement.

C. The voice of praise.  D. The voice of education.

C

Ten years after introducing “Google Glass”, Alphabet Inc. has created a new kind of smart eyeglasses. The company says the wearable computer device can translate different languages in real time.

A working model of the yet-unnamed device was presented to the public this week during the yearly Google I/O developer conference. Google did not say when the glasses might go on sale to the public.

The first Google Glass device included a wearable camera that could film what the wearers saw. That caused widespread privacy concerns. The camera element also gave Google Glass a kind of science-fiction look. The latest device looks more similar to traditional glasses.

A brief demonstration of the new eyeglasses described its translation ability, but did not provide additional details. The company also did not say whether the new device would be equipped with a camera. A demonstration explained that a person, wearing the glasses and talking with someone who speaks a different language, can see the spoken words in their own language. The description showed translations involving English, Mandarin, Spanish and American Sign Language.

The new device is one of several products shared at the conference that are currently in development. The company says the products aim to better connect Google services with activities happening in the real world. This includes company offerings for searching and viewing maps, as well as other services using the latest developments in artificial intelligence.

Eddie Chung, a director of product management at Google, spoke to developers about the new eyeglasses. “What we’re working on is technology that enables us to break down language barriers, taking years of research in Google Translate and bringing that to glasses,” he said.

28. What can we learn about the smart eyeglasses?

A. They have a kind of science-fiction look. B. They can translate some languages into oral English.

C. They will be equipped with a camera. D. They can help certain people remove language barriers.

29. What’s the purpose of this text?

A. To share a wearable computer device on sale. B. To advertise the smart eyeglasses for sale.

C. To introduce a new product in development. D. To show the development of Google Glass Device.

30. Who are the smart eyeglasses most likely intended for?

A. Deaf men at international conferences. B. E-readers reading foreign original works.

C. Japanese talking with Frenchmen. D. Travellers searching and viewing maps abroad.

31. What’s Eddie Chung’s attitude towards the new eyeglasses?

A. Concerned. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Positive.

D

Do you listen to music at the gym? Today, most gym-goers like to wear head-phones and listen to self-selected music while they’re doing exercise. Why do songs from personalized playlists seem to increase motivation and make intense exercise more enjoyable when someone is walking or jogging?

Based on practical experience, a recent study provides new evidence that listening to music while running on a treadmill(跑步机) fights with mental tiredness and improves performance. According to a news release, this study is "the first to investigate the effect of listening to music playlists on long-distance running capacity and performance when mentally tired. "These findings were published online ahead of print on June 22.

For this study, researchers from the University of Edinburgh had a group of experienced runners do a high-intensity 5-kilometre treadmill run with and without self-selected motivational music after they’d performed a series of cognitive(认知的) exams designed to put them in a mentally tired state. The researchers found that “listening to self-selected music in a mentally tired state reduces the negative impact of mental tiredness on their running capacity and performance, potentially due to changed perception of effort when listening to music.”

“Mental tiredness is a common occurrence for many of us and can negatively impact many of our day-to-day activities, including exercise. Finding safe and effective ways to reduce this negative impact is, therefore, useful,” Shaun Phillips of Edinburgh’s Moray House School said in the news release.

“The findings indicate that listening to personalized motivational music may be a useful strategy to help active people improve their endurance running capacity and performance when mentally tired,” he added. “This positive impact of self-selected music could help people to better keep the quality and beneficial impact of their exercise sessions.”

32. What’s the function of the questions in Paragraph 1?

A. To make a comparism. B. To lead in the topic.

C. To make a prediction.  D. To ask for information.

33. What was taken into consideration in the experiment design?

A. Runners’ cognitive levels. B. Runners’ mental states.

C. Runners’ running ability. D. Runners’ music preference.

34. Why does the author quote Shaun Phillips in the last two paragraphs?

A. To describe the experimental process. B. To explore ways to enhance sports performance.

C. To further clarify the result of the finding. D. To explain the harmful effects of mental tiredness.

35. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Personalized music makes runners less tired. B. Motivational music cheers runners up.

C. Self-selected music maintains life quality. D. Self-selected music treats mental illnesses.

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。

Climate change has increased average temperatures by 1℃ over the past century, making heat waves more frequent and intense than those from any other point in recorded history.   36   A study published in the journal Nature Climate Change found global warming responsible for 37 percent of heat-related deaths between 1991 and 2018.

The following is what happens if you’re the next to be killed. First, your brain sends a series of messages to your sweat glands telling them to increase sweat production. Then your heart starts beating faster to pump blood to the skin while blood flow is directed away from important organs(器官) like your liver, kidneys and gut.   37  

If heat stroke occurs, your body might get hot and direct so much oxygen-rich blood to the skin that it suffocates(把…闷死) vital internal organs. If your body fails to cool you down, its internal temperature might start to climb from a normal level to about 104 degrees.   38   You may feel it start as a dull headache. Before long, you might lose consciousness. Your brain might begin to swell.

While you struggle to stay awake and avoid dizzying confusion, the excessive internal heat is damaging your gut, consequently causing an inflammatory(发炎的) response.   39  

That’s just part of what we know about how extreme heat kills you.   40   A lot of what we know comes from studies on animal models, like mice and rats, or from examinations of people dying of heat stroke.

A. As the heat rises quickly, so does the death number.

B. That’s because we can’t study it in humans in the laboratory.

C. As temperatures tick ever higher, that figure may well rise.

D. At that temperature, your brain becomes affected.

E. Surviving the organ failure might require an emergency transplant.

F. Sometimes that alone is enough to create problems for a weak or aging heart.

G. Left untreated, what follows is a flood of organ failure that leads to your death.

The third distinction is about their dreams.

From the above, we can see there are differences between high school and college, so in the   54   from high school to college, the teens should try their best to   55   themselves. Keep up!

Act of Memory

I was a young girl of eleven then, living in Brooklyn. My father had died unexpectedly that summer. Times was suddenly very hard for my mother, my brother, and me.

Papa had always made a big deal out of Christmas. Every Christmas, when we were about to decorate the tree, he would make a little ceremony out of taking a special little Kewpie-doll out of its box, holding it up in front of me, saying, “Maria, this doll is as old as you are.” Then he would hang it on the Christmas tree. Papa bought that little doll when I was born, and it had become a small tradition. But this Christmas we were to have no tree. My mother was a practical woman, saying it was a luxury. I thought, with quiet but strong bitterness and anger, that it had never meant as much to her as it had to Papa anyway.

We had been to church that evening and were walking back home in silence. All I could see were the tree-lit windows we passed. Their cheerful glow made my bitterness even more intense because I pictured happy families in those houses, sharing laughter, exchanging presents, talking, joking. I knew while arriving home, we would be greeted by darkened windows and endless emptiness.

As we passed my friend’s house, I asked my mother to please let me drop in for a while. She nodded. I waited until my mother and brother disappeared around the corner. Then I turned and headed for my friend’s house. Suddenly, a pile of abandoned Christmas trees from the store next to her house came into my sight. Surprised and excited, I dashed to the trees, picked out the best one and began half-dragging my treasure home. It seemed as if Papa was mixed up in this somehow. It seemed as if he was in the stars above me, in every lighted-house, in the very tree I was carrying.

Dear Jim，

Sorry to hear that you are facing the problem of phone-addiction. Here are some suggestions to solve it.

Being addicted to phones can not only influence your study but also affect your daily life. Thus, it’s necessary for you to set an academic goal and make efforts to achieve it. In addition, I recommend that you take part in real life activities more often, which will absolutely help you get away from phones and enjoy a colorful life.

I do hope you will find my suggestions helpful.

Yours,

Li Hua

【Text 1】

W：Hey, Ben, can I borrow your bike in the afternoon?

M：Sure. Where are you going?

W：I’m going to the Xinhua Bookstore to buy a pen.

【Text 2】

M：I wish Jim studied as hard as his sister.

W：Don’t worry so much about him, dear. He’s doing all right, and he’ll have to work harder at high school.

【Text 3】

W：Come on, John! It’s already 10:00. We’ll be late for the train.

M：Don’t worry. We still have 30 minutes. And it only takes 10 minutes to get there.

【Text 4】

W：Besides playing basketball and football, you also play ping-pong, don’t you?

M：Yes, that’s right. But I’m not good at ping-pong. I started playing it only two months ago.

W：Are you good at basketball and football then?

M：I’m the best in my school’s football team. I just play basketball for fun.

【Text 5】

W：Excuse me, is there a package for Room301?

M：Yes, Madam, there is a large package for you at the front desk. Do you want me to send it up to you?

W：No, thanks. I’ll come down for it.

【Text 6】

W：Can we go shopping, Dad? I need to get some notebooks and pens.

M：Do you need to buy anything else for school?

W：I need a new brush for art class too.

M：Let’s go to the art store, then. We can get all of those supplies there. You probably need a lot more than that, though. Did the teacher give you a list?

W：There’s one on the class website.

M：Print it out and bring it with you, honey. I’ll get ready and we can leave in about 20minutes.

W：OK, Dad.

【Text 7】

M：All right, today we have with us Jo. Hello, Jo. Thanks for coming.

W：Thanks for having me.

M：Can you introduce yourself to everyone?

W：Sure. I’m Jo, an online English teacher. I have an English learning website called English with Jo. I grew up in Sydney, Australia, but then I spent quite a few years overseas. I spent a year travelling around Europe, and then spent four years in the UK, and now I’m back here in Australia.

M：Wow---you’ve been all over the place teaching English and traveling! Why did you spend so long in the UK?

W：Well, I only planned on staying around six months, but that plan changed when I got a really interesting job in London. I liked it so much that I ended staying there nearly five years.

M：So what was the interesting job?

W：Well, I worked for the British royal family.

M：Wow, that’s amazing! Tell us more……

W：Hello, I’m Lily! We’re in the same class.

M：Oh, hi, I’m Peter! Nice to meet you!

W：Nice to meet you too, Peter. So what do you think of our new school?

M：I think it’s a little different from junior high school. I used to have five classes a day and each one was forty minutes long, which meant I had some time for playing sports every day. But now, at senior high, we have seven classes a day and each lasts forty-five minutes.

W：Yes, it seems we’re much busier at senior high school.

M：Yes, but luckily, we have P. E. classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!

W：Right. That way, we can still play sports and won’t get bored studying all day.

M：And there are many more clubs here, like the chess club, the reading club, the music club, and the football club. I’m going to join the reading club. What about you?

W：Me too. I think it’s a good way to learn new things. We can share our opinions about what we read too.

M：Yeah, it should be interesting. Oh, the bell is ringing.

W：Let’s go.

【Text 9】

M：Hi Nancy! You look worried. What’s wrong?

W：Well Daniel, have you ever felt nervous on stage?

M：Sure. Do you remember that play I was in a few years ago? I knew my lines, but I was frightened to have to retell them in front of an audience. As soon as I saw the crowd of people down there, my heart beat so fast that I was unable to say a single word.

W：That’s how I feel just thinking about the spelling competition next week.

M：I didn’t know you made it to the finals.

W：I’m worried I’ll get nervous and freeze on stage. I might forget how to spell everything, even my own name. I don’t know what to do.

M：Nancy, I know that you’re not going to forget how to spell your name. I’ll help you get through this. I’ll go to the school hall with you to practice. Then I’ll teach you an exercise my baseball coach taught me. Believe me. It works.

W：I feel much better now. Thanks, Daniel.

【Text 10】

Good morning, everybody. This is my third trip to China. Thanks for inviting me. I would like to talk about how to improve your English. Of course, it is important for you to use language quite often if you want to improve. In English, there are four main aspects, speaking, listening, reading and writing. I’d like to suggest some ways in which you can improve in all four of these areas. Firstly, it is widely accepted that reading newspaper does help improve one’s English. However, from my point of view, reading books is more useful because reading newspapers may be too difficult for high school students. Secondly, I think watching news is a good way to improve your English. I know I just said that reading the news is difficult, but for students, watching the news can be interesting. Watching the news can also help you learn how to

use body language while speaking. Finally, listening to the reporters will help you improve your pronunciation. I hope my tips will be of some use to you. Thank you, and good luck with your studies!
