【題目】 Five years ago, as a new nurse working at night-time at Norwalk Hospital in Connecticut, Kelly Depanfills stopped to chat with one of her favorite patients, a middle-aged man with leukemia, a type of blood disease. He was in the hospital for treatment, but what he really hoped for was a bone marrow (骨髓) transplant. He talked about “Be The Match”, a foundation that connects patients with donors. “It made me want to see if I matched with anyone,” Depanfills says. “He said, ‘Well, get on there!’”

Depanfills was shocked at how simple “getting on there” turned out to be: all she had to do was sign up and swab (拭抹) her cheek. She just didn’t imagine she’d get the chance so quickly. Not long after being swabbed, Depanfills got a call about a possible recipient (接受者): a 6-month-old boy born without an immune system — meaning one cold could become life-threatening. Within six months, she was checked in to the hospital as his no-named transplant donor.

After the operation, she was told the recovery time was 20 days and could include pain and tiredness, but she had only some soreness. “Honestly, the next day, I went out shopping,” she says. The boy who received her bone marrow cells is now recovering well and able to run around the playground like other kids.

Depanfills was so energized by the experience that she started volunteering at registry events, and last year she started her own at Norwalk Hospital. “One couple drove 45 minutes just to get swabbed,” she says. In a single day, about 50 hoping to be donors signed up. Every year there are 20,000 people who might benefit from a bone marrow transplant. “When you say such things, people get nervous,” Depanfills says. “But I want everyone to know how easy giving this gift can be.”

【1】The function of “Be the match” is to_____.

A.link donors with recipients.B.perform transplant operations

C.improve patients’ immune systemD.raise money for Norwalk Hospital

【2】Which of the following statements about Depanfills is true?

A.She cured a middle-aged man.

B.She was saved by “Be the match”.

C.Her signing up for the donation was hard.

D.Her name was unknown to the recipient.

【3】According to the text, we can know that_____.

A.the usual recovery time is less than 20 days

B.many people are inspired by Depanfills’ action

C.the recipient is normally free of pain and tiredness

D.there are 20,000 people every year waiting for donations

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.A Non-profit ProjectB.A Cure for a Blood Disease

C.A Marrow Transplant OperationD.A Caring and Can-do Donor

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】B

【4】D

【解析】

本文是記敘文。護(hù)士Depanfills捐贈骨髓給一個六個月大的男孩。后來她在醫(yī)院做骨髓捐贈注冊的志愿者工作，希望通過自己的親身經(jīng)歷告訴人們骨髓捐贈是很容易的事情。在她的激勵下，很多人登記，希望成為捐贈者。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中He talked about “Be The Match”, a foundation that connects patients with donors.可知，他談到了“Be The Match”，一個連接病人和捐贈者的基金會。由此可知，Be The Match的作用是將捐贈者和接受者聯(lián)系在一起。故選A項(xiàng)。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中Within six months, she was checked in to the hospital as his no-named transplant donor.可知，六個月后，她作為他的匿名移植捐贈者住進(jìn)了醫(yī)院。由此可知，骨髓接受者不知道她的名字。故選D項(xiàng)。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中“One couple drove 45 minutes just to get swabbed,” she says. In a single day, about 50 hoping to be donors signed up. (她說：“一對夫婦開了45分鐘的車，就為了擦洗一下�！币惶熘畠�(nèi)，就有大約50人希望成為捐贈者)和But I want everyone to know how easy giving this gift can be.(但我想讓每個人都知道送禮物是多么容易)可知，在Depanfills的激勵下，很多人登記，希望成為捐贈者。故選B項(xiàng)。

【4】主旨大意題。本文講述了護(hù)士Depanfills捐贈骨髓給一個六個月大的男孩。后來她做骨髓捐贈注冊的志愿者工作，希望通過自己的親身經(jīng)歷告訴人們骨髓捐贈是很容易的事情。在她的激勵下，很多人登記，希望成為捐贈者。因此文章是以Depanfills作為骨髓移植捐贈者為主題。由此可知，A Caring and Can-do Donor (一個充滿愛心、樂于助人的捐贈者)適合做本文標(biāo)題。故選D 項(xiàng)。

閱讀理解題中標(biāo)題選擇題的解題思路——注意標(biāo)題中心詞

標(biāo)題的中心詞即是文章主要描述的問題。在確定文章標(biāo)題時，應(yīng)注意比較所給選項(xiàng)的中心詞。

如本題第4小題，如果文章標(biāo)題是A Non-profit Project，中心詞是Project，文章會以介紹一個非盈利的項(xiàng)目為主要內(nèi)容；如果文章標(biāo)題是A Cure for a Blood Disease，中心詞是a cure，文章會以描述血液疾病的治療方法為主要內(nèi)容；如果文章標(biāo)題是A Marrow Transplant Operation，中心詞是Operation，文章會以描述骨髓移植手術(shù)為主要內(nèi)容。此篇文章講述了護(hù)士Depanfills捐贈骨髓給一個六個月大的男孩，后來又從事骨髓捐贈注冊的志愿者工作。文章是以Depanfills為骨髓捐贈者為主要內(nèi)容展開。 D選項(xiàng)A Caring and Can-do Donor的中心詞為Donor，符合文章的主題。

【題目】Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York--he in computers, she in special education. "Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say. In April1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.

Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton' s foundation (基金會) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee.“I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder."

Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library .com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.

The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books-reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members-included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.

Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of .”

The Richters spend about ＄400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”

【1】What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?

A.His health problem.B.His love for teaching.

A.a well-known surgeonB.a mother of a four-year-old

C.a singer born in TennesseeD.a computer programmer

【4】Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?

A.To avoid signing up online.

B.To meet Dollywood board members.

C.To make sure the books were the newest.

D.To see if the books were of good quality.

【5】What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?

A.He needs more money to help the children.

B.He wonders why some people are so busy.

C.He tries to save those waiting to die.

D.He considers his efforts worthwhile.

【題目】 When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming many things. Sometimes, I wished I was an astronaut going up into space, finding new planets and jumping around in a cool space suit. Other times, I imagined being a cowboy in the Wild West, wearing stylish cowboy boots. On other occasions, I pretended to be a famous footballer, using my skills to score lots of goals for my team.

Looking back, I realize that imagination is a wonderful thing. I was able to create entire environments and scenarios in my head, using nothing more than my brain, and to be able to adapt things in my everyday surroundings to fit the specific story of the day. Growing up with siblings (兄弟姐妹) also helped, as it meant that even bigger stories could be created, combining our ideas and putting our thoughts into action. It also allowed for more varieties in the stories, as sometimes I could be the hero while on other occasions, I would be the bad guy.

One of my all-time favorite memories as a kid was playing in my back garden. I played the role of Indiana Jones, which cleaned up at the cinema at that time, with my younger sister as my assistant and my brother as a bad person. We used everything in our garden, from the path to the fence, as part of the storyline to create obstacles that needed to be overcome, and we would keep the story going for hours!

My personal favorite game was Indiana Jones and the Stolen Easter Eggs, where my brother hid small chocolate eggs around the garden and my sister and I had to find them by answering questions or solving a puzzle. It was difficult, but eventually we found all the eggs and shared them together.

Since then, I have seen many great things and met many amazing people. The elements of fun and varieties of my creative imaginations are what I try to bring into every part of my positive life. So I can enjoy sharing with and hearing about other people’s stories, too.

【1】What do we know about the author from his childhood?

A.He enjoyed living a life full of freedom.

B.He was longing to experience adventurous things.

C.He was always imagining a bright life for his future.

D.He had a clear picture of what he would do after growing up.

【2】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “scenarios” in Paragraph 2?

A.experiencesB.situations

C.positionsD.excuses

【3】From the passage, we know that Indiana Jones was .

A.an astronautB.a famous footballer

C.a hot filmD.a very popular book

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A.My Creative Imagination.B.My Childhood.

【題目】 Stories are shared in many ways. They are described in books and magazines. They are read around the campfire at night. They are randomly distributed from stand-alone booths. But what else?

To revive （復(fù)興）literature in the era of fast news and smartphone addiction, Short Edition, a French publisher of short-form literature, has set up more than 30 story dispensers （分發(fā)機(jī)）in the USA in the past years to deliver fiction at the push of a button at restaurants, universities and government offices.

Francis Ford Coppola, the film director and winemaker, liked the idea so much that he invested in the company and placed a dispenser at his Cafe Zoetrope in San Francisco. Last month public libraries in some other cities announced they would be setting them up, too. There is one on the campus at Penn State. A few can be found in downtown West Palm Beach, Fla. And Short Edition plans to announce more, including at the Los Angeles International Airport.

“Everything old is new again," said Andrew Nurkin, the director of the Free Library of Philadelphia, which is one of the libraries that set up the dispensers. “We want people to be easily exposed to literature. We want to advance literacy among children and inspire their creativity.

Here's how a dispenser works： It has three buttons on top indicating choices for stories that can be read in one minute, three minutes or five minutes. When a button is pushed, a short story is printed. The stories are free. They are chosen from a computer category of more than 100,000 original submissions by writers whose works have been evaluated by Short Edition's judges, and transmitted over a mobile network. Offerings can be tailored to specific interests, like children's fiction or romance. Short Edition gets stories for its category by holding writing contests.

Short Edition set up its first booth in 2016 and has 150 machines worldwide. “The idea is to make people happy," said Kristan Leroy, director of Short Edition, “There is too much unhappiness today. ”

【1】What do we know about the stories sent by dispensers?

A.They are expensive.

B.They are short in form.

C.They can be read on smartphones.

D.They are mainly taken from magazine literature.

【2】Where can you find the popularity of story dispensers in America?

A.In paragraph 3.

B.In paragraph 4.

C.In paragraph 5.

D.In paragraph 6.

【3】Which is the main purpose of setting up the dispensers according to Andrew Nurkin?

A.To get rid of people's smartphone addiction.

B.To reduce the financial stress of libraries.

C.To make people have access to literature.

D.To advertise the network literature.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Online Reading: a Virtual Tour

B.Short Edition, a French Publisher

C.Everything Old Will Be Popular Again

D.Taste of Literature, at the Push of a Button

【題目】 Surprise! High School Student Discovers New Planet Three Days Into NASA.

When 17-year-old Wolf Cukier accepted an internship (實(shí)習(xí)) at NASA, he expected to be challenged and gain insights into pursuing a career in astrophysics (天體物理學(xué)) . Instead, he attained worldwide fame for an achievement finding a new planet!

The teenager came across the distant world while examining images of the variations in star brightness captured by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and uploaded to Planet Hunters TESS by amateur citizen astronomers. “I was looking through the data for everything the volunteers had marked,” Cukier said. “About three days into my internship, I saw a signal from a system called TOI 1338. At first, I thought it was a stellar eclipse (日食) but the timing was wrong. It turned out to be a planet.” Further research revealed that TOI 1338 b, as it is now called, is a rare circumbinary planet (環(huán)雙星行星) — a world orbiting two stars. Even more exciting, TOI 1338 b is the first circumbinary world discovered by the TESS mission.

The researchers believe that TOI 1338 b is about 6.9 times larger than Earth. The experts claim that TOI 1338 b's two stars vary in size. It is also the only planet in the TOI 1338 system, which lies 1,300 light-years away from Earth.

Not surprisingly, the High School senior is looking to pursue a career in physics and astrophysics. When asked of his plans to seek out a job at NASA, the youngster said, “I've no idea about NASA's hiring practices but it can't hurt!” He added, “A career in space research is appealing.”

【1】What kind of writing does the text belong to?

A.A biography.B.A novel.

C.A diary.D.A news report.

【2】What can we know about TOI 1338 b?

A.It is a rare planet with only one star.

B.It is about 6.9 times smaller than Earth.

C.It lies 1,300 light-years away from Earth.

D.It is the first cirumbinary planet discovered by human.

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Cukier is very proud of himself.

B.NASA is very strict on hiring practices.

C.Cukier has great interest in working at NASA.

D.Cukier knows nothing about NASA'S hiring practices.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.A New Planet.B.NASA's Tess Mission.

C.A World-famous Teenager.D.The Discovery of a New Planet.

【題目】 As recently as 15 years ago, if you wanted to catch up on the news, you could look at a handful of publications or a few nightly programs. And if you wanted to listen to music, you could turn on MTV or fiddle with your radio. People in major cities had more options, because a large population can support specialty shops. 【1】.

Today, as we all know, access to information has exploded. One consequence, according to Toure, a cultural critic writing in Salon, is that the ability of pop culture to unify us-- he refers to the massive interest in Michael Jackson’s Thriller, or Nirvana’s Nevermind--has been eroded, probably forever. Steven Hyden, also writing in Salon, counters that whatever the advantages and disadvantages of a centralized pop-culture authority, the monoculture never actually existed.

【2】 Even when it supposedly existed, its content largely depended on other characteristics of your little corner of the world. In the 1992-1993 school year, I was a student at a multiracial and relatively urban junior high school in California’s central valley. We listened to Salt-n-Pepa, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and Kris Kross, with the latter having inspired a trend in which kids wore their clothes backwards. The next year I was enrolled in a mostly white junior high school in leafy Chiago suburb. One of the houses was famous for having appeared in the 1990 film “Home Alone”; the popular bands were Nirvana, Hole and the Smashing Pumpkins; and the biggest pop-cultural event of the school year was Kurt Cobain’s suicide.

But Toure’s point is about the virtues of common cultural experience. It seems he is recalling centralized media only in so far as it’s a distribution system that fostered ( 促進(jìn)) that outcome.

【3】 It doesn’t matter whether a record is released by an important label or an indie ( 獨(dú)立制片人); if it’s online, people can usually find, forward, share and promote it. But what’s interesting and perhaps surprising, given that both Toure and Mr Hyden seem to agree that the old distribution favored big media, is that we still have widely shared cultural experiences. Just think of Barack Obama doing the little hand gesture from Beyonce’s “Single Ladies ” video.

【4】. It’s safe to say that the monoculture never really existed, and that some artists still reach a wide audience, whether we like it or not.

A.That suggests that we like pop culture partly because it’s a shared experience, regardless of quality.

B.However, in vast areas of the world you had to work to get outside the mainstream.

C.Whether you like it or not, “monoculture” is here with us.

D.I think Mr Hyden is correct that the concept of a “monoculture” is a bit of a myth.

E.They see globalization as being the spread of a monoculture, based on western values, which is killing the cultural diversity of the world.

F.And it’s true that the ways we now consume pop culture to some extent level the playing field.
