One day, I was receiving my thirteenth operation in the hospital. Being away from my friends and school was causing me almost as much  　3　⁠ as the operation itself.

Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head. Almost everyone thought I was dead. But they were wrong. However, it was difficult to get back to the normal（正常的） life. I had to leave school and learn everything, walking, talking, and yes, maths. To help me with that task, Mrs Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week. We began with basic maths skills. As time passed by, I made progress. I remember very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays, sat with me at the kitchen table and threw different coins on the table. She asked me to show her 38 cents, 17 cents and 63 cents. It was challenging, but she also made it fun. A 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 After a year and a half, I had progressed a lot, both in the body and mind, to return to school. Seven years later, I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin as the top student of my class. As years went by, I always kept in touch with Mrs Pillar. Unluckily, one day my parents told me Mrs Pillar had been in hospital because she suffered a stroke（中风）. Now it was my turn to help her. Mrs Pillar lay in bed, unable to speak or know anybody around. I pulled some coins out of my pocket, dropped them on her bed, and asked her to show me 12 cents. The nurse thought that my action was very strange until one day Mrs Pillar smiled happily as I began working with her—just as she had worked with me years before. She made progress every day and was moved out of ICU and finally out of hospital. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 One day, I called to wish her a happy New Year. She spoke excitedly, “Happy New Year to you and your family, Michael. Thank you for everything you have done for me.” I quickly said, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.” Mrs Pillar was one of my Junior 2 teachers, but she taught me so much more about life than only maths. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　B　） 1.

They can do hundreds of things. Here are some old gadgets that people used to use. ① 　　　　⁠ Do you have a landline at home? These are phones that people plug（插入） into their living room walls. Mobile phones didn’t use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline. But landlines only worked at home. What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 ② 　　　　⁠ People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks. The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful—each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better. But even the best ones could only hold 1.44 MB. You would need three or four disks just for one song, and about 22,000 disks to match the storage（储存空间） available on a 32 GB phone! ③ 　　　　⁠ It’s easy to take photos today. People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them. To take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film. This allowed you to take about 30 photos. After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop. The shop developed the photos to make them seen, which you could collect after a few days. Technology changes all the time, and the gadgets we use today will one day be old. What do you think will be the next to disappear? 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　B　）1. What does the underlined word “gadgets” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Toys. B. Tools. C. Games. D. Phones. B 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　B　） 2. Match the title with each paragraph. a. Goodbye Disks b. Music to My Ears c. Picture This d. Call Me e. Film Development A. ①-d， ②-b， ③-e B. ①-d， ②-a， ③-c C. ①-c， ②-a， ③-b D. ①-c， ②-b， ③-e B 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　C　）3. What were the first floppy disks like？ A. They could store much. B. They were very useful. C. They cost a lot of money. D. They were easy to carry. （　C　）4. What can we get from the passage？ A. It was convenient to take photos with film. B. People outside used landlines to call someone. C. Improvements in technology change people’s life. D. For a time， many people had pay phones at home. C C 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　D　）5. What would be the best title for the passage？ A. The changing phones B. The products of tomorrow C. Old things we use today D. The things we used to use D 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　C　） Once you begin to eat potato chips, you may keep eating until the bag is empty. Have you ever experienced this? Why can’t you stop eating these salty chips? Scientists said it is due to a kind of neuron（神经元）. Scientists at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre in Boston have found that some neurons can make us want to eat salt. The neurons take note of whether our bodies are lacking sodium（钠）, a main part of salt. Then, they send signals to our brain to encourage us to eat more salt, according to the Daily Mail. How do these neurons work? C 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 Scientists did experiments on mice. They found that when mice lack sodium, their body gives off a kind of hormone（荷尔蒙） called aldosterone（醛固酮）. This hormone then makes these neurons become active. More research showed that adding salt to meals makes people enjoy their food more, Time reported. This may cause people to continue eating even if they are full. Scientists from Deakin University in Australia asked healthy people to eat the same food for lunch for four weeks. The amount of salt in the food was changed each week. At the same time, the scientists measured how much these people ate. They also asked the people how they felt about the meals; for example, if they felt happy or were still hungry after eating. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 The results showed that salt made people eat 11 percent more food and calories. When eating low-salt meals, they had better control over how much they ate. “But when we add salt to that food, all of a sudden those controls are gone,” researcher Russell Keast said to Time. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　C　）1. We may find it hard to stop eating potato chips mainly because  　　　　⁠. A. potato chips don’t have much sodium B. potato chips send hungry signals to our brain C. some neurons lead to a preference for salty food D. people’s brains will be more active with more salt （　A　）2. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “signals” in Paragraph 3? A. 信号 B. 神经 C. 疼痛 D. 触感 （　B　）3. Scientists from Deakin University found that  　　　　⁠. A. mice also need salt B. more salt makes people eat more C. not all people like salty food D. people are not happy when they eat less C A B 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　D　）4. What advice might the writer give? A. People should eat more chips. B. More salt should be taken in to stay healthy. C. Salt can make food more delicious. D. Low-salt meals can help us stay healthy. （　C　）5. You might see this story in  　　　　⁠. A. a road map B. a maths report C. a science magazine D. a storybook D C 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 四、 （2023·泸州）补全对话（每小题2分， 共10分） 根据对话内容，在每个空缺处填入一个适当的词（每空限填一词）。 A： Hi, Mark.

For example, we know that China’s flag is red. When we see it during sunset or under purple light, we still know that it is red, even if it looks like a different colour. However, the colour of a tennis ball is not as pure（纯的） as the flag. It appears to be a mixture of yellow, a “warm” colour, and green, a “cool” colour. The US-based magazine says that when 7.  　Scientis⁠ brains try to figure out what colour the ball is, some people ignore（忽略） cool colours like green, blue and purple.
