Today we can do everything with apps: pay bills, order food and shop for anything. Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands. However, when it comes to technology and health care, opportunities and challenges come together.

Let’s start with the ways to get health care. Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (诊断) and instructions without leaving home.

In addition, there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team. Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology.

A whole new age of medical care seems likely (可能的) to come in the future. But every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno-health care?

Firstly, we should think about the health care experience as a whole. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待员) , who can see and tell how a patient is doing, This may influence the treatment effect. It’s unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.

Next, sharing the details of one's life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care, where some of life's best and worst moments involve doctors. The human touch should not be undervalued and is unlikely to be there over the smartphone.

Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds—and also great worry.

So how does medicine adapt (适应) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it .There is medical equipment(设备) that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine . It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results.

But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch. Patients often need someone to listen to —and care about—their journey story, which will never be realized through a human-less technology. Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them.

30. According to the passage, how does technology help health care?

A It encourages doctors to voice their needs on the websites

B. It offers the patient a convenient way to get a diagnosis

C. It improves relations between doctors and patients.

D. It provides an opportunity to build a medical team

31. The word “intuition” in Paragraph 5 probably means______.

A. an ability to understand B. an interesting experience

C. a chance to win D. a fair decision

32. What do you know about techno-health care from the passage?

A. Patient websites require trust from doctors.

B. Talented companies can give medical advice.

C. Flagged results may cause worry for patients.

D. Medical equipment collects patients’ stories.

33. The writer probably agrees that_____.

A. technology can deal with unexpected effects.

B. telemedicine can take the place of usual health care.

C. it is difficult for patients to adapt to the new technology age.

D. techno-health care should take humanity into consideration.

In Britain, Australia, Canada and a few other English-speaking countries, people don't stop celebrating when Christmas Day is over. They also celebrate the following day, known as Boxing Day. It is a popular day for giving additional（另外的）gifts. It has been celebrated for so long, but nobody exactly knows how it started.

Some people believe Boxing Day began in the Middle Ages. In those days: in some special places there were special collection boxes where people threw money for the poor.

The day after Christmas the boxes were opened and the money was counted. Then the money went to helping the poor in the area.

Others believe Boxing Day started about 300 years ago when some rich people had Christmas feasts (盛宴). They offered lots of food to their guests. Because many servants (仆人）were needed to make and serve the food, they could not celebrate Christmas with their families. To thank them, the rich people would put food into boxes for their servants to take home.

Now Boxing Day has become a public holiday in some countries. Some people spend the day boxing up old or unwanted things and donating（捐赠）them to the poor. Many people are active in helping service organizations(组织)like the Red Cross.

Every night, just after the sun goes down. Ruth Medjber talks with her neighbours in Dublin, Ireland, and takes a picture of them at their windows.

These photos, in some way, show people's lives during the global pandemic (大流行病).

"I started out taking photos of just friends and family. In this way, I could connect with them during this special time when people have to stay at home," the photographer explained. "I live alone, so I was missing the days when we were free to communicate with friends. Every evening, on my way to seeing friends, I had a sense of purpose."

Now she's making new friends.

The photo project has taken off online, and she has opened it up to volunteers. But they must be the people who live within 5 kilometers of her home—the Irish government doesn't allow people to go farther out than that.

"I pick a street each night and try to take photos of volunteers," Ruth said. "I usually take about four photos before it is completely dark, but two if I'm talking a lot—which I love to do."

She said more and more neighbours are joining in her photo project and it has now got a name, Low at Home.

"I think people like knowing that they're not alone even if they have to stay at home, and they really try to pick out those who are similar to themselves in the photos," she said. "It's also a different view(视角) of the pandemic: the more human view. Instead of showing what the pandemic has taken from us, it shows that it has given us more chances to be with family and friends and spend time together."

"I think we'd love most to find something nice, even in the most serious situation as it is now," Ruth said.

“Amy! Milk!” Mama called.

Milk. It was Amy’s turn to get it. Amy sighed and shut her first-aid(急救) book.

Amy tied the cow close to a tree. Somewhere down the mountain, some volunteer doctors were teaching medical skills to village nurses. Amy heard Betty dive off hours ago. “She should have taken me with her. She thinks I’m too young.” Amy thought. “But she’s wrong. I am already 15!”

Amy carried the milk back to Mama, then wandered up the road. Roy, a village boy, was trying to stand on a horse’s back. “No wonder they don’t trust kids with anything important,” Amy thought.

She had just turned away when she heard a heavy fall and a few cries. Roy was on the ground. “Roy!” The kids nearby ran towards him. “Get Betty,” one said. Amy shook her head. “Betty’s gone to the city.”

The kids didn’t know what to do. Amy ran to Roy and saw one of his legs out of shape. A broken leg! She remembered what the first-aid book said about it.

“Victor!” Amy called to one of the boys. “Go get Roy’s mama, and find someone with a truck,” She turned to the others. “Give me your shirts. We need something to tie his leg with.”

Amy then found a strong, straight stick. She carefully wrapped the shirts around Roy’s leg and the stick. Roy cried out in pain. “I know it hurts,” Amy said softly. “But this will hold it still until you get to the hospital.”

When Amy was done, she looked up and saw Roy’s mama and a man watching beside a truck. “Thank you, Amy,” Roy’s mama said. Amy helped them lift Roy into the truck, then they drove down the hillside towards the hospital.

The next day, Betty came to Amy’s home. “I heard what you did,” Betty said. “You kept your head in an emergency. That’s an important skill.”

Amy’s face turned red. “I was afraid ...”

Betty shook her head. “It’s OK for a nurse to be afraid, as long as she has a clear head. The volunteer doctors are coming tomorrow with vaccines. We need some more hands. Can you help?”

“I’d love to.” Amy replied at once.

“Come early, then. There is a lot to learn.”

Amy smiled. “I’ll bring my first-aid book.”

请阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

These days, teenagers are heavily influenced by the media. Many of them have watched thousands of hours of TV. That's more time than they spend with teachers at school. And we haven't yet considered the hours they spend using the Internet and reading newspapers.

However, several studies have shown a serious problem: today's teenagers lack media literacy (媒体素养). In other words, they have difficultly critically thinking about the information they see. One study that was done on middle school students showed that more than 80 percent of them couldn't tell the difference between real stories and ads that            looked like news.

Standford professor Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects. He tries to help his students learn media literacy. The professor gave an example that shows why media literacy is important. In the example, two news stations report a snowstorm. One focuses on (关注) the terrible road conditions. The other focuses on kids playing in the snow. "With a news story. news stations tell you what they feel are the important details (细节). These details mostly depend on the opinions of the news director." said John. "A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is about one side at this time. There is more going on."

Some experts think shoe is the best place to teach media literacy. Other believe everyone—form parents to reporters—should help teenagers learn the skills.

As for the best time to start learning media literacy, many experts suggest the age of 12. But some basic ideas can be taught even earlier. "It's never too early to start learning media literacy," John said.

29. From the first paragraph, we can learn that teenagers today spend more time ______.

A. using the Internet than watching TV

B. watching TV than studying at school

C. studying at school than reading newspapers

30. The underlined word "lack" in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A. 缺乏 B. 质疑 C. 误解

31. The example shows that a person who has media literacy _______about a news story.

A. should have the same opinions as others

B. could think about is good and bad sides

C. must know about all the important details

32. Professor Kevin John would agree that _______.

A. everyone is supposed to help children learn different skills

B. children should be taught media literacy as early as possible

C. news directors should report the news children are interested in

33. The main idea of the passage is _______.

A. how to develop teenagers' media literacy

B. where teenagers should be taught media literacy

C. why teenagers are supposed to have media literacy

When Claire Vlases of Montana was in Grade 7, she learned about plans to modernize her middle school. Claire asked the school board（董事会）to add solar panels to the project because, she explained, clean energy would be helpful to a really modern school.

The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $ 25,000-one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups who set to work raising the rest. They sold their second-hand books, put on talent shows and asked for donations（捐赠）, even going door-to-door for them. One donated more than half the cost!

After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now provide one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs-saving the neighborhood thousands of dollars. “My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big influence on the community,” Claire said. “There are always going to be hard parts. When there’s a challenge（挑战）presented to you, you can learn from it and use it as chance to overcome it.”

31．After knowing the project was still in need of money, Claire ________.

A．raised $ 25,000 B．asked for more help

C．sold old newspapers D．donated half the cost

32．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph2 refer to（指代）?

A．Solar panels. B．Second-hand books.

C．Shows. D．Donations.

33．Which picture shows the change of the electricity cost after the use of solar panels?

A． B．

C． D．

34．From Claire’s words in the last paragraph, we learn that ________.

A．hard work was her favorite B．the project went smoothly

C．a small thing makes a big difference D．solar panels cost a lot

35．What would be the best title for the text?

A．A Dependent Girl B．A Modern School

C．Don’t Waste Energy D．Never Give Up

Everyone faces challenges in their life, but some are more important than others. Daniel Kish had serious problems with his eyes when he was born. And doctors took away both of his eyes before he was fourteen months old. 

Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He started to make clicking(咔塔) sounds with his tongue（舌头） to help him move around. Much like a bat(蝙幅), he now moves about using sonar(声呐). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle in traffic. He and his group, World Access for the Blind, teach others how to use sonar. In this interview with National Geographic, Kish explains how the process works.

How does sonar work?

＂When I make a clicking sound, it makes sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then processes the sounds into images(图像). It’s like having a conversation with the environment

"Each click is like a camera flash. I make a 3D image of the things around me for hundreds of feet in every direction.＂

What is it like riding a bike using sonar?

＂It’s exciting and enjoyable but requires a lot of focus. I click up to two times per second,, much more than I usually do.＂

Is it dangerous to move around the world in this way?

"Much of the world lives in fear of things that we mostly imagine. I have a habit of climbing anything and everything, but I never broke a bone(骨头) as a kid.＂

How challenging is it to teach people to use sonar?

＂Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isn’t in the eyes, it’ s in the mind.＂
