When they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine dreaming of golden beaches. Suddenly, they noticed Vingo. He sat in front of them, eyes fixed upon a photo, completely in silence. Deep into the night, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson’s, a service area, and everybody got off except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him. When they came back, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself, "want some wine?” she said. He thanked her and became silent again . The next morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnson’s , and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies. When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again. After a while, slowly and painfully, he told his story. He had been in prison for the past four years, and now he was going home. “Are you married?”“I don t know.”“You don't know?” she said. “Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said. "I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn't stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, she could just forget me. I'd understand. Get a new guy I said. She’s a wonderful woman. I told her she didn't have to write me, and she didn't. Not for three and a half years.” "And you're going home now, not knowing?" “Yeah. Well, last week when I was sure the parole(假释) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick, and there' s a big oak(橡树) tree just as you come into town. I told her that if she didn't have a new man and if she'd take me back, she should put a yellow ribbon on the tree and I'd get off and come home. If she didn't want me, forget it, no ribbon and I'd go on through." “Wow!” the girl exclaimed, “Wow!” The girl told the others, and soon all of them were in it. 译文：三个男孩和三个女孩要去海滩。当他们登上公共汽车时，他们带着三明治和葡萄酒，梦想着金色的海滩。突然，他们注意到了温格。他坐在他们面前，眼睛盯着一张照片，完全沉默不语。 深夜，巴士驶入霍华德·约翰逊服务区，除了温格，所有人都下了车。年轻人开始怀疑他。当他们回来时，其中一个女孩坐在他旁边，自我介绍说：“要喝点酒吗？”她说。他感谢了她，又沉默了。 第二天早上，他们在另一家霍华德·约翰逊酒店外醒来，这次温格走了进去。女孩坚持要他加入他们。他点了黑咖啡和一些饼干。当他们回到公共汽车上时，女孩又和文戈坐在一起。过了一会儿，他慢慢地、痛苦地讲述了自己的故事。过去四年他一直在监狱里，现在他要回家了。 “你结婚了吗？”“我不知道。”“你不知道？”她说。 “嗯，当我在监狱里的时候，我写信给我的妻子，”他说。“我告诉她，我要离开很长一段时间，如果她受不了，如果孩子们一直问问题，如果这太伤害了她，她可以忘记我。我会理解的。我说找个新男人。她是个很棒的女人。我告诉她她不必给我写信，她也没有。三年半都没有。” “你现在要回家了，不知道吗？” “是啊。好吧，上周当我确信假释即将到来时，我又给她写了一封信。我们以前住在布伦瑞克，当你进城的时候，有一棵大橡树。我告诉她，如果她没有新的男人，如果她愿意带我回去，她应该在树上系一条黄丝带，我就下车回家。如果她不想要我，算了，没有丝带，我会继续走下去。" “哇！”女孩喊道，“哇 女孩告诉了其他人，很快他们都加入了进来。 续写 Looking at the photo, the young people found a young woman and three children in it. With a radiant smile blooming on her face, the woman in the photo looked more than mild and amiable, three kids clinging to their mother closely. As they approached Brunswick, Vingo put away the photo, ducked his head down and closed his eyes tightly, anxious and worried.

D 推理判断题。根据文章 my mom is my favorite hello and most difficult goodbye；Her actions show sensitivity, optimism, and kindness unlike any other I have ever known；Regardless of cold weather, heavy traffic, or my anxious stomach ache prior to a day of exams, we always had fun. She would tell jokes and we would laugh. With her infectious smile and confident attitude, my mom managed to turn every sad morning of mine into a better day 等都能体现出母亲不仅仅是母亲， 是一位善解人意、体贴的榜样。 25. D 推理判断题。根据第 3 段可知，不管是寒冷的天气、拥挤的交通，还是考试前 作者焦虑的胃痛，作者和母亲总是愉快地度过。妈妈会讲笑话，作者会大笑。妈妈用她那 富有感染力的微笑和自信的态度，把作者每个沮丧的早晨都变成了美好的一天，让她从不 认为没有兄弟姐妹是一件遗憾的事。 26. B 推理判断题。根据第 4 段中的 Moving away from home was a major shift- and not just because of my new suburban digs, minimized food options, and much harsher winters 可知， 作者在 Rochester 的生活艰难。 27. D 主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是作者和她妈妈之间的和谐关系，她非常喜欢这种 关系并受到这种关系的积极影响。D 项“赞美我和妈妈的关系”适合作本文标题。 28. B 29.C 30.A 31.C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一种叫作Sherlock的机器以及其所使用的CRISPR技术。科研人员通过该技术能够更快更准确地辨别特定种类——濒危的奇努克鲑鱼，以达到更好的保护作用。 28．细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“It can be done in about 30 minutes. In the past, the researchers would have to wait weeks or months to get test results.(大约30分钟就可以完成。在过去，研究人员需要等待数周或数月才能得到测试结果。)”可知，这项技术大约30分钟就可以完成，比以往数周或数月才能得到测试结果要有效率。故选B项。 29．推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“Instead, the ocean researchers catch the fish, collect a small amount of mucus and then test the cells to find the genetic makeup of the fish.(相反，海洋研究人员抓住鱼，收集少量粘液，然后测试细胞，以找到鱼的基因组成。)”以及第三段内容“The researchers have found that the technology is extremely helpful when looking at different species of Chinook salmon, because they look nearly the same.(研究人员发现，这项技术在观察不同种类的奇努克鲑鱼时非常有用，因为它们看起来几乎一样。)”可知，新的CRISPR技术可以帮助观察不同种类的鲑鱼，即区分它们；文章第四段内容“In the past, the scientists would catch the Chinook salmon and measure them to tell them apart.(在过去，科学家们会捕捉奇努克鲑鱼并测量它们来区分它们。)”可知，旧方法也会用来区分不同种类的鲑鱼。因此可推知，新旧方法共同点在于帮助研究人员区分不同的鲑鱼。故选C项。 30．推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容“However, due to climate change, the river water is sometimes too warm for the fish to make the trip safely. (然而，由于气候变化，河水有时太热，鱼无法安全航行。)”可知，气候变暖导致河水变热，使得鱼类迁徙变得危险，由此可推知，这种鱼适宜在较凉爽的水域中生存。故选A项。 31．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段内容Andrea Schreier 的话“I really want to work to maintain our ecosystems and our native populations as much as possible, given all of the pressures that we humans place on them through our different activities.(我真的希望尽可能地维护我们的生态系统和我们的地方种群，因为我们人类通过不同的活动给它们施加了所有的压力。)”可知，Andrea Schreier想要尽力维持生态系统和地方种群的稳定，即，她对自然保护工作十分投入。故选C项。 32-35 CCAB 32. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery.(在这一时期，现代技术使医生们能够开发新的外科技术。许多几年前被认为是不可能或风险太大的手术，现在在美国医院每天都在进行。其结果是心脏手术数量的大幅增加。)”可知，现代医疗技术促使医生做更多的心脏手术。故选C。 33 词句猜测题。根据画线词后面一句“To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment.(为此，他们提高了所有患者的花费，而不仅仅是那些需要设备治疗的患者。)”可知，医院提高了患者的医疗费用，由此可推测出“After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent.”表示的是医院在购买了现代心脏手术所必需的昂贵设备后，他们必须设法收回所花的钱。recover指的是“收回”，与get back意思一致。故选C。 34 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease.(然而，西方医疗保健系统对该病的预防仍然没有给予足够的重视。需要更多的项目来教育公众关于心脏病的原因和预防。)”可知，作者赞同把更多的钱花在预防心脏病上。故选A。 35 主旨大意题。本文在第一段论述了心脏病成为西方最大的杀手之一。整篇文章围绕心脏病的治疗还是预防展开论述，作者在第二段第二句话阐明了自己的观点：There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease，即要花费更多的金钱来使公众了解心脏病发病的原因和预防的方法。因此B项“心脏病：治疗或预防?”作为标题最合适。故选B。 36．B 37．F 38．G 39．D 40．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了笑的好处和如何制造让我们笑的场合。 36．根据空后“It’s a great way to relax, not just on a purely emotional level, but also physically. It can reduce our blood pressure. It also contributes to the release of hormones (荷尔蒙) that are good for our health.(这是一种很好的放松方式，不仅在纯粹的情感层面上，而且在身体上。它可以降低我们的血压。它还有助于荷尔蒙的释放，这对我们的健康有益)”可知，本段是说笑的好处，B项“笑有很多好处”适合作本段的主题句。故选B。 37．根据空前“It can reduce our blood pressure. It also contributes to the release of hormones (荷尔蒙) that are good for our health.(它可以降低我们的血压。它还有助于荷尔蒙的释放，这对我们的健康有益)”及空后“It helps us feel more at ease around new people and also connects us with others.(它帮助我们在陌生人面前感到更自在，也让我们与他人联系起来)”可知，F项“除了这些以外，笑还有社交功能”符合语境。故选F。 38．根据空前“A good idea is to give yourself permission to play. Play is a natural activity that promotes a lot of laughter, whether it's through video games, outdoor games, or board games.(一个好主意是允许自己去玩。玩耍是一种自然的活动，可以带来很多笑声，无论是通过电子游戏、户外游戏还是棋盘游戏)”可知，本段是说允许自己玩，并列举了几种游戏，G项“发现你喜欢玩的游戏，并从中获得乐趣”符合语境。故选G。 39．根据空前“Laughter comes from being with others.(笑声来自和别人在一起)”及空后“Hang out with family members that are nice to be around, with whom you can have fun, laugh, and enjoy yourself.(和你喜欢的家人一起出去玩，和他们在一起你可以玩得开心，开怀大笑，享受自己)”可知，本段是关于和别人在一起，下文提到了家人，D项“尽量多见见你的朋友”符合语境。故选D。 40．根据空前“More than anything, learn to develop humor.(最重要的是，学会培养幽默感)”及空后“Laugh at your mistakes and learn to laugh at yourself.(对自己的错误笑一笑，学会自嘲)”可知，本段是说学会幽默，对自己的错误一笑置之，不要太认真，C项“别太把自己当回事”符合语境。故选C。 完型填空： 41.【答案】tree 【解释】后文提到“I hit a large maple tree!”，说明此处指的是与树有关的故事，因此填C。 42.【答案】incident 【解释】根据后文描述“I hit a large maple tree!”可知，这是一个意外事件，因此填A。 43.【答案】turned 【解释】根据语境“Mom lifted me out of the car and 43 to speak to the driver.”，可知妈妈把我从车里抱出来后，转身去和司机说话，因此填D。 44.【答案】absence 【解释】前文提到妈妈转身去和司机说话，此时我利用这个短暂的“不在场”或“缺席”的机会跑过草坪，因此填C。 45.【答案】landed 【解释】根据前文“I was running so fast that I bounced off the trunk”，可知我跑得很快，撞到了树干上，然后“着陆”或“摔倒”在屁股上，因此填A。 46.【答案】picked 【解释】根据语境“Then I 46 myself up and kept right on going.”，可知然后我“捡起”或“扶起”自己，继续前行，因此填B。 47.【答案】adds 【解释】根据后文“as many times as I dashed across the lawn after that，I never again 48 into that tree.”，可知这是对前文的回忆进行一个补充，因此填A。 48.【答案】crashed【解释】根据前文“I dashed across the lawn”，可知我之前是跑过草坪的，但这次没有再次“跑”进那棵树里，因此填A。 49.【答案】example 【解释】根据后文“It reminds her that children don't enter life 50 to take risks or unwilling to try again when they fall down.”，可知妈妈喜欢用这个故事作为“例子”，因此填B。 50.【答案】afraid 【解释】根据语境“It reminds her that children don't enter life 50 to take risks or unwilling to try again when they fall down.”，可知这提醒她孩子们并不是生来就“害怕”冒险或跌倒后不愿意再尝试的，因此填C。 51.【答案】toughness 【解释】根据语境“She never wanted me to lose that 51 as I grew older.”，可知她从来不想让我随着年龄的增长而失去那份韧性、坚韧，因此填B。 52.【答案】full-speed 【解释】根据前文“as many times as I dashed across the lawn”，可知“我仍然是以全速在草坪上奔跑的那个女孩”，因此填C 53.【答案】 efforts 【解释】根据语境“Through years of 53, I have become a respected teacher in a school serving high-need students.”，可知经过多年的努力，我成为了一名备受尊敬的教师，因此填B。 54.【答案】knocked down【解释】根据上文的故事和下文中的"When that happens, don't sit in the grass.…"可知，此处表示在实现目标的过程中，总会有挫折。knock down 意为"打，击，撞倒"，此处意为受挫，符合语境。因此填C。 55.【答案】cry 【解释】与第二段中的start crying相呼应，故选D。 语法填空： 56.冠词a 【解释】：此处描述的是随着国家进步和生活水平提高，社会规范和期望发生了一种转变。由于“shift”是可数名词单数，且表示泛指，因此前面需要加不定冠词“a”。 57.reasonable【解释】此处需要修饰副词“economically”，表示“经济上合理的”。因此，应将“reason”变为形容词“reasonable”。 58.urbanization 【解释】但根据语境和常用搭配，“urbanization”（城市化）更为合适，表示“城市化的增长”是推动出生率下降的关键因素之一。 59.changes 【解释】由于主语“Moving from the country to the city”是动名词短语，表示一个动作或事件，且该动作或事件对“economic rewards and punishments”产生了影响，因此谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。同时，根据语境，这个动作或事件导致的影响是持续的，因此应使用一般现在时。所以，此处应填“changes”。 60.allowing 【解释】此处“Urban women have access to good education”是主句，而后面的“_____the pursuit of professional growth and personal goals”是结果状语，表示“使女性能够追求职业成长和个人目标”。由于“allow”与主语“Urban women”之间是主动关系，因此应使用现在分词形式“allowing”作为结果状语。 61.aging 【解释】此处需要形容词来修饰名词“population”，表示“正在老化的/老龄化的”人口。因此，应将“age”变为现在分词形式“aging”，作为形容词使用。 62.on 【解释】此处表示“对……有影响”，固定搭配为“have an impact on sth.”。因此，应填介词“on”。 63.shortages 【解释】此处需要名词来作为“lead to”的宾语，表示“导致劳动力短缺”。由于“shortage”是可数名词，且在此处表示泛指，因此应使用复数形式“shortages”。 64.which 【解释】此处是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的整个句子，表示“这（劳动力短缺、技能差距和创新减少）应该引起所有当局的关注”。因此，应使用关系代词“which”来引导这个非限制性定语从句。 65.are supposed 【解释】此处表示“当局应该鼓励生育人群生育更多孩子”，固定搭配为“be supposed to do sth.”，表示“应该做某事”。由于主语“Authorities”是复数形式，因此谓语动词也应使用复数形式。同时，根据语境，此处应使用一般现在时来表示“当局应该（现在）做某事”。所以，此处应填“are supposed”。 听力原文 Text 1 W: Jack is a responsible person.

Text 10 M: After longing for his stolen guitar for almost half a century, Canadian rock star Randy Bachman has finally been reunited with the instrument, which an eagle-eyed fan tracked down in Japan. ⑩Bachman, who wrote the original “American Woman” with his band The Guess Who, recovered his guitar in Tokyo—46 years after his cherished guitar was stolen from a Toronto hotel. “With that guitar, I wrote many million-selling songs... it was like my magical guitar. And then when it’s suddenly gone, the magic is gone.” Bachman said. ⑩He bought the guitar as a teenager in the early 1960s with $400 saved up from washing cars and babysitting. He had long admired the instrument, spending hours staring at it in a shop window with his friend and fellow musician Neil Young. Over the decades, Bachman hunted for his guitar. ⑩A Canadian fan, William Long, decided to help with the search in 2020. “Yeah, I’m a detective,” Long said. “I was confident I was going to find it.” Finally he found that a Japanese musician called Takeshi played Bachman’s beloved guitar in a video. ⑩Takeshi bought Bachman’s guitar in 2014 for around 850,000 yen ($6,300). Long alerted Bachman to his discovery, and the musicians arranged to meet in Tokyo to exchange Bachman’s original guitar with another of the same type, also made in 1957. 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null新余一中2024-2025学年上学期高二年级第二次段考英语试题 命题人：周沁诣 敖付梅 审题人：朱琳 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答 题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。 听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。例：How much is the shirt?

What Exactly is Body Language? Body language is the movement of facial features or body parts,which intentionally )or unintentionally express thoughts and attitudes.Here are three key types: Facial expressions:A smile,a slight frown or a straight face are all different expressions that add another layer of meaning to what you are saying.Eye contact is an especially significant of body language that you need to pay attention to while speaking English or listening to someone else. Hand gestures:When you talk,do you move your hands around or do you keep them at your side?Folded arms,hands on hips or hands in pockets can create different messages even if you are saying the same words. Body position:The position of your body also means a lot.Leaning forward while somebody is speaking or how far you stand apart from your audience----it all matters. How to Practice English Body Language While learning how to speak English takes a lot of work,from mastering grammar to perfecting pronunciation,body language requires the same attention and investment.What makes it even more tough is that body language varies from culture to culture.For example,did you know that in Bulgaria, people nod their heads up and down to mean"no"? Therefore,you need to learn body language from real native English speakers.But how can you practice if you are not currently living with English speakers or in an English-speaking region? 21.Which of the following is a facial expression? A.Giving your brother a bear hug. B.Saying hello to your friend. C.Nodding to your boss in the meeting. D.Raising your eyebrows on seeing a dog. 22.What causes more difficulties in learning body language? A.The cultural differences. B.The changing gestures. C.A lack of communication. D.A lack of professional training. 23.What will be written in the following paragraphs? A.The approaches of living in Europe B.The advantages of body language. C.The ways of practicing body language. D.The problems of learning body language. B With light brown eyes and jet-black hair,my mom is my favorite hello and most difficult goodbye.For as long as I can remember,she has been my icon.While working as a judge,she is in pursuit of justice for others. As a mother,friend,and woman,however,she shows a softer side.Her actions show sensitivity,optimism,and kindness unlike any other I have ever known. As an only child,I never received the gift of a sibling with whom I could share laughs,secrets,or knowing glances from across a room.The older I've got,the more I have realized I never needed a sibling,anyway. Back home,my mom and I would wake and have a quick breakfast together,and leave for Jersey City-she is off to work and I went to school.Regardless of cold weather,congestion,or my anxious stomach ache prior to a day of exams,we always had fun.She would tell jokes and we would laugh.With her infectious smile and confident attitude,my mom managed to turn every sad morning of mine into a better day. Now that I am at Rochester,we are separated by nearly 400 miles of sloping highway.I no longer have the chance of looking out a classroom window and seeing her office building standing tall a mile away.Moving away from home was a major shift -and not just because of my new suburban rented room,minimized food options,and much bitter winters. When I am missing my mom especially,I recall the words she told me when I would cry as a young girl: a line from her favorite poem,by author E.E.Cummings. "I carry your heart with me;I carry it in my heart,"she'd smile,wiping away my tears. As I reflect upon that sentence,I can see that there is a piece ofmy mom with me wherever I go.I guess those 400 miles between the two of us isn't so distant,after all. 24.What kind of person is the author's mother? A.She is a sensitive judge. B.She is a popular poet. C.She is a humorous comedian. D.She is a considerate role model. 25.Why did the author say she never needed a sibling? A.She didn't like siblings. B.She didn't want to share a room. C.She was old enough to live alone. D.She was content with her mother's company. 26.What can we infer about the author's life at Rochester? A.It is boring. B.It is tough. C.It is unbearable. D.It is unexpected. 27.What is the main idea for the text? A.Fruitful life ofmy mother. B.Poems for my mother and me. C.Memory of my separated mother and me.D.Praise for my relationship with my mother. 0 Scientists near San Francisco work to identify a type of endangered fish using a tool that was originally made for treating cancer. Currently,CRISPR is used to change the genetic material in specific cells.By changing the structure of immune cells,it helps recognize and fight cancer.The same technology is now used in a special machine called Sherlock,which,of course,is named after the famous investigator Sherlock Holmes.They do not, however,use Sherlock to change fish cells.Instead,the ocean researchers catch the fish,collect a small amount of mucus (and then test the cells to find the genetic makeup of the fish.It can be done in about 30 minutes.In the past,the researchers would have to wait weeks or months to get test results. The researchers have found that the technology is extremely helpful when looking at different species of Chinook salmon,because they look nearly the same.However,some of them are endangered,and the scientists need to keep track of them. In the past,the scientists would catch the Chinook salmon and measure them to tell them apart."It's not very accurate,"said Andrea Schreier,an associate professor at the University of California in Davis.Now she is working on the salmon.Schreier said when they catch the fish,the Sherlock machine can quickly tell them if they have one of the special salmon.It's important because it allows the scientists to do things that will help the endangered salmon live longer.For example,they can catch them in lakes far away from the coast and take them by truck to the San Francisco Bay.In the past,the fish might have tried to make it to the Bay by swimming in rivers.However,due to climate change,the river water is sometimes too warm for the fish to make the trip safely. Schreier said she feels good about the project because she likes being able to assist with conservation."I really want to work to maintain our ecosystems and our native populations as much as possible,given all of the pressures that we humans place on them through our different activities." 28.Which of the following best describe the technology? A.Immature. B.Efficient. C.Inaccurate. D.Economical. 29.What do the new technology and the traditional way have in common? A.They test the fish mucus to tell them apart B.They are carried out by researchers in the lab. C.They help researchers tell different salmons apart.D.They originally aimed at detecting cancer. 30.What can be inferred about the Chinook salmons? A.They are used to cool water. B.They are of the same size. C.They are now well protected. D.They will soon die out. 31.What do we know about Andrea Schreier from the text? A.She thinks humans are greatly pressured. B.She can now spend less time on her work. C.She is rather committed to the conservation. D.She thinks her work needs improvement. D One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease.The death rate from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years.Today in Britain,for example,about four hundred people a day die of heart disease.Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly,by not smoking,by changing their diets,and by paying more attention to reducing stress in their work. However,Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease.Instead of supporting such programs,however,the U.S.health-care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical treatment of the disease after it develops.This emphasis on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years.In this time,modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques.Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S.hospitals.The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery. Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people,some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages.First,it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention.Second,it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise.After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery,they must try to recover the money they have spent.To do this,they raise costs for all their patients,not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment.The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary-because the equipment and expert skills are there.A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low.In one type of heart surgery,for example,only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However,more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year. 32.What effect has modern technology had on medicine? A.It has reduced the costs of medical treatment. B.It hasn't helped save any patients. C.It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgery. 3 D.It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease. 33.What does the underlined word"recover"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Boost. B.Spring up. C.Get back. D.Pick up 34.The author would agree that A.more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease B.heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions C.modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before D.the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease 35.Which would be the best title for the passage? A.The Greatest Killer in the West B.Heart Disease:Treat or Prevent? C.Old Technology and Heart Surgery D.Heart Surgery:Merits 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。 When we are kids,we laugh a lot.But as we become adults,it is much more difficult to laugh so easily.
