【題目】For Zack, the shave was more than just a way to fund lifesaving research. It was a way to honor his late brother, Taylor Frink.

Taylor, a volunteer firefighter in North Carolina, was killed in a car accident last September. Before his passing, Taylor was an eager supporter of St. Baldrick’s. He went bald(禿頭)for the cause in 2015, supporting kids with cancer and raising money to find cures.

As a local hero, Taylor was beloved by the community. When he died, more than 1, 000 people attended his funeral to pay their respects. Zack looked up to his brother and this was the reason why he decided to become a junior firefighter himself. They did everything together. Zack remembers.

Zack knew his brother had planned to shave again in 2016, so without hesitation he decided to fill his shoes and registered to shave at the local St. Baldrick’s event in Kinston, N. C.

“He was always goodhearted, and I want to make my brother proud,” shares Zack.

As part of Zack’s kindnesses, he raised more than $ 1,000 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation primarily by selling T-shirts he designed. Leading up to the event, Zack also visited his city council, commissioner’s office and challenged the local official department to get involved.

“We are not going to let Taylor’s name be forgotten. That is what I love about St Baldrick’s,” says Jean Culbreth, volunteer event organizer. “Zack gets it. He gets that what he is doing is keeping his brother’s name alive.”

The day finally came and Zack took his seat under the clippers (剪具), not only to honor his brother but to help kids with cancer. It was a special moment for all, and by the end of the day the event had raised more than $ 22,000!

1Why did Taylor Frink go bald?

A. Because he suffered from cancer.

B. To attract people’s sympathy for him.

C. To help raise money for cancer cures.

2What did Zack do to show honor to Taylor?

C. He decided to work at St. Baldrick’s.

D. He persuaded his workmates to join his cause.

3What can we learn from the text?

B. Zack designs T-shirts for children with cancer.

C. Zack raised more than $ 22,000 by selling his T-shirts.

D. Zack works hard for St. Baldrick’s to get his name remembered.

【答案】

4D

【解析】

本文為記敘文。主要介紹了一對(duì)兄弟為了幫助癌癥兒童籌集資金尋找治愈方法的感人故事。

1細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段最后一句He went bald(禿頭)for the cause in 2015, supporting kids with cancer and raising money to find cures. 他光頭是為了籌集資金資助患癌癥的孩子尋找治療的方法。分析選項(xiàng)可知C項(xiàng)符合題意。

2推理判斷題。文章說扎克敬重他的哥哥,他記得和他哥哥一起做的每一件事。他為了效仿哥哥,他為圣巴德里克基金會(huì)籌集了超過1000美元,他也剃了光頭,像他哥哥一樣幫助患癌癥的孩子,最后還為此籌集了超過22000美元。由此可推斷出扎克以他哥哥為榜樣,繼續(xù)做同樣的事,故選B項(xiàng)。

3推理判斷題。第六段最后兩句Leading up to the event, Zack also visited his city council, commissioner’s office and challenged the local official department to get involved. 扎克還訪問了市政委員會(huì),專員辦公室,并請(qǐng)求當(dāng)?shù)卣块T介入。分析選項(xiàng)可知A項(xiàng)( Zack試圖得到官方支持。)符合題意。

4推理判斷題。第七段最后一句…says Jean Culbreth, volunteer event organizer. “Zack gets it. He gets that what he is doing is keeping his brother’s name alive.” 扎克明白了他哥哥所做的事的意義。他知道他在做的是讓他哥哥的名字活著,分析可知,扎克知道他哥哥做的事的意義,所以他想讓他哥的行為一直延續(xù),分析選可知D項(xiàng)符合題意,故選D項(xiàng)。

推理判斷試題包括判斷題和推理題。這兩類題常常相互依存,推理是為了得出正確的判斷,正確的判斷又依賴于合乎邏輯的推理。這種題一般是根據(jù)事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié),推斷合理信息。推理題要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎(chǔ)上,作出一定判斷和推論,從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義。推理題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中某一句話,也可是某幾句話,但做題的指導(dǎo)思想都是以文字信息為依據(jù),既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根據(jù)的推理,也不能根據(jù)表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是說,要做到判斷有據(jù), 推論有理, 忠實(shí)原文。切忌用自己的觀點(diǎn)代替作者的本意,切忌片面思考,得出片面結(jié)論。如第3小題,根據(jù)第六段最后兩句Leading up to the event, Zack also visited his city council, commissioner’s office and challenged the local official department to get involved. 扎克還訪問了市政委員會(huì),專員辦公室,并請(qǐng)求當(dāng)?shù)卣块T介入。從而找到正確答案A。

【題目】 Scientists may have found a way to reduce shortage of type O blood. Type O is the kind of blood that hospitals most often need. What the researchers are testing is an easier way to make type O blood out of other kinds of blood.

There are four main kinds of blood. Most people born with one of these four: Type A,Type B, Type AB or Type O. Type O can be safely given to anyone. So it is commonly used when a person is injured or sick and has to have blood.

The differences among blood types are linked to whether or not red blood cells contain certain kinds of sugar molecules(分子). These molecules are found on the surface of the cells.They are known as antigens (抗原). These antigens are found with type A, B and AB blood but not with type O.

More than twenty-five years ago, scientists found that the antigens could be removed to create what they called universal-type cells. They could be removed with chemicals called enzymes(). But large amounts of enzymes were required to make the change.

Doctor Henrik Clausen of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark led the study. The next step, he says, is to complete safety tests. The team is working with the American company ZymeQuest to test the new method. If it meets safety requirements(*k)and is not too costly,it could become a widely used life-saving tool to increase the supply of universal blood.

1How do scientists deal with the problem of lacking type O blood?

A.Hope more people to donate type O blood.

B.Make the most of the present type O blood.

C.Develop new ways of using type O blood.

D.Make type O blood out of other kinds of blood.

2What make people have different kinds of blood?

A.Sugar molecules in red blood cells.

B.People's different living conditions.

C.Peoples various immune systems.

D.The variety of peoples cells and genes.

3What can we infer from the text?

A.Type O blood can be safely given to anyone

B.Antigens could easily be removed to create universal blood.

C.A Danish company wanted to involve itself in studying blood.

D.The new method is not safe enough to be put into use in hospitals now.

4What is the best title for the text?

A.Four different kinds of blood

B.A new way to make type O blood

C.The latest research on blood type

D.Find the proper type of blood

【題目】 Forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging. 1 As a result, some people may notice that it takes longer to learn new things; they don’t remember information as well as they did, or they lose things like their glasses, cellphones or other small items. These are usually signs of mild forgetfulness, not serious memory problems.

2 For example, medication side effects, vitamin B12 shortage, alcoholism, tumors(腫瘤) or infections in the brain can cause memory loss. A doctor should treat serious medical conditions like these as soon as possible.

Emotional problems, such as stress, anxiety or depression, can make a person more forgetful. For instance, someone who has recently retired or who is coping with the death of a relative or a friend may feel sad, lonely or worried. 3

The confusion and forgetfulness caused by emotions are usually temporary and go away when the feelings fade. The emotional problems can be eased by supportive friends and family. 4 Treatment may include counseling, medication or both.

If you’re concerned that you or someone you know has a serious memory problem, talk with your doctor. 5 Health care professionals can recommend ways to manage the problem or make suggestions on treatment or services that might help you out.

A. Consider participating in clinical trials or studies.

B. It’s advisable to have health issues treated in time.

【題目】Economy rebounding after drop

China's economy experienced a deep reduction in the first quarter due to the novel coronavirus outbreak. 1. This indicates that the country's recovery has gained a firmer footing, officials and economists said on Friday.

2. However, it remains unclear whether the government will still set a GDP growth target for the year. Economists said China's policy for the next step needs to focus on stimulating(刺激) demand and stabilizing(穩(wěn)定)employment to promote economic recovery.

Mao Shengyong, NBS spokesman, said the outbreak created a serious blow to the country's economy in the first quarter, but major economic indicators(指標(biāo)) rebounded in March.3.

Lian Ping, chief economist at Zhixin Investment, said the government needs to strengthen policy support to prevent the economy from suffering a second wave of blows from the global economic downturn. 4. While most large companies have resumed production, according to NBS calculations, many smaller companies are still struggling to resume work under rising financial difficulties and labor shortages.

Retail sales dropped by 19 percent year-on-year in the first quarter, which indicated that domestic demand remains relatively weak and there is still room for policies to effectively boost households' consumption(消費(fèi)), economists said. 5. The urban unemployment rate was 5.9 percent in March, down by 0.3 percentage point from February, according to the NBS.

A.Urban household income declined by 3.9 percent year-on-year in the first quarter.

B.But major economic indicators improved mostly in March.

C.China's GDP in the first quarter contracted by 6.8 percent from a year earlier according to the National Bureau of Statistics.

D.Chinese economy is recovering as more companies are borrowing to promote their production recovery.

E.And the country's economic performance will improve further in the second quarter.

F.Chinese companies, including exporters, have seen an increase in cancellations(取消) of orders.

G."More support needs to be given to households as the decline(下降) of residents' income
