But on a family summer vacation in 2017, Rob Leibowitz wore a T-shirt while walking around Disney World with the words: “In Need of Kidney(肾脏) , O Positive.” A few months after a picture was posted on Facebook, Leibowitz, who had been on the list for several years, had a successful surgery(手术) . A complete stranger donated(捐赠) a kidney to him. Although this story might be unusual, it made me wonder: can medicine and fashion get connected in other ways? They might seem like as strange a combination as red and green. Yet fashion is already being considered in health care settings. For example, the effect of hospital gowns on patients has been studied, and many patients report feeling a loss of privacy when putting on a gown. The gown even drove patients to have the idea that they were unwell. As a result, designers(设计师) have rethought what a patient gown could look like. Such redesigns have not been widely accepted by hospitals yet, perhaps because the gowns have to be cheap, easy to make and easily washable. However, gowns in different sizes and colors might help give the patients a feeling of control and support—especially when so much is out of their control. In fact, creative solutions to patient gowns have already been shown to have some positive effects. At Weill Cornell, young patients who needed MRI scans(核磁共振检查) were given an “MRI-am-a-Hero” kit to make the experience feel like part of a superhero adventure. Researchers found that the number of kids who needed medicine to stay calm get smaller. My own experience also has shown me the value of thinking about how important fashion can be in medical settings. A few years ago, I was working on a study about how patients could find kidney donors through social networks. I remember asking one woman about her pink shirt, with “Help Me Find a Kidney” on the front and a picture of her and her family printed on the back. “Every time I put it on,” she explained, “I am reminded that there is still hope.” 27. Who donated a kidney to Rob Leibowitz? A. His brother. B. The writer. C. A stranger. D. His sister. 28. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. making gowns easily washable is unimportant B. redesigning gowns needs much money and new tools C. patients with terrible illnesses must post their needs online D. gowns with creative designs can bring patients good effects 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Dressing for Health B. Fashion Will Never Leave C. Ideas with Imagination D. Patients Are Always Waiting 【答案】27. C 28. D 29. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了时尚与医疗之间的一些实例，希望我们从中能多思考时尚如何更好的在医疗中发挥作用。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A complete stranger donated(捐赠) a kidney to him.”可知，一个完全陌生的人捐了一个肾给他。故选C。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据“However, gowns in different sizes and colors might help give the patients a feeling of control and support—especially when so much is out of their control.”可知，然而，不同尺寸和颜色的长袍可能有助于给病人一种控制感和支持感——尤其是在很多事情都超出他们的控制范围的时候。故选D。 【29题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“Although this story might be unusual, it made me wonder: can medicine and fashion get connected in other ways?”可知，虽然这个故事可能不太寻常，但它让我想知道：医学和时尚能否以其他方式产生联系。文章介绍了时尚与医疗之间的一些实例，希望我们多加思考时尚如何更好的在医疗中发挥作用。选项A“Dressing for Health”符合主题。故选A。 D A spacesuit is much more than a set of clothes astronauts wear on spacewalks A full spacesuit is really a one-person spacecraft. The spacesuit protects the astronaut from the dangers of being outside in space. Spacesuits help astronauts in several ways. Spacewalking astronauts face different temperatures. Around the earth, conditions in space can be as cold as around -156℃. In the sunlight, they can be as hot as 121℃. A spacesuit protects astronauts from those extreme temperatures. Spacesuits also provide astronauts with O₂ to breathe while they are in space. They contain water to drink during spacewalks. They protect astronauts from being hit by a small object in space. It may not sound very dangerous, but when even the small object is moving many times faster than a bullet, it can be very harmful to astronauts. Spacesuits also protect astronauts from radiation(辐射) in space. The suits even have parts to protect astronauts’ eyes from the bright sunlight. The spacesuit includes several parts. The body equipment covers the astronaut’s body. The arm equipment covers the arms and connects to the gloves. The helmet(头盔) and another equipment are used to protect the astronaut’s head while still allowing him or her to see as much as possible. The lower equipment covers the astronaut’s legs and feet. These parts have different functions. They can do many different things, from keeping O₂ within the spacesuit to protecting from being hit. Under the spacesuit, astronauts wear a set of cooling equipment. Tubes(管子) are put into this tight-fitting piece of clothing that covers the whole body except for the head, hands and feet. Water moves through these tubes to keep the astronaut cool during the spacewalk. On the back of the spacesuit is a backpack. This backpack provides the O₂ that astronauts breathe during a spacewalk. It also takes CO₂ away. The backpack also provides electricity for the suit. A fan moves the O₂ through the spacesuit and life support systems, and a water tank holds the cooling water that moves through the cooling device. Another device called the Simplified Aid for Extravehicular Activity Rescue, or SAFER is necessary. If an astronaut became separated from the space station, he or she could use SAFER to fly back. 30 What does the backpack on the spacesuit provide according to the passage? A. CO₂. B. Food. C. Radiation. D. Electricity. 31. What can we learn from the passage? A. A small object hurts a little to astronauts in space. B. SAFER helps astronauts return to the space station. C. A spacesuit is just a kind of clothes to wear in space. D. An astronaut needs to wear the spacesuit all the time. 32. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2 & 3? A. What the parts of a spacesuit are. B. What astronauts wear in space. C. Why temperatures change a lot. D. Why astronauts need spacesuits. 33. The word “functions” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”. A. ways B. ideas C. uses D. tests 【答案】30. D 31. B 32. D 33. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了宇航服的内部结构和功能等。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This backpack provides the O₂ that astronauts breathe during a spacewalk. It also takes CO₂ away. The backpack also provides electricity for the suit.”可知，这个背包提供宇航员在太空行走时呼吸用的氧气，它还带走了二氧化碳；背包还为宇航服提供电力。故选D。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Another device called the Simplified Aid for Extravehicular Activity Rescue, or SAFER is necessary. If an astronaut became separated from the space station, he or she could use SAFER to fly back.”可知，SAFER可以帮助宇航员安全的返回空间站，故选B。 【32题详解】 段落大意题。通过对第2、3段的理解可知，这两段主要介绍了宇航服在太空中对宇航员的帮助，也就是宇航员为什么要在太空中穿宇航服，故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。分析“These parts have different functions. They can do many different things, from keeping O₂ within the spacesuit to protecting from being hit.”可知，这些部分有不同的功能，它们可以做许多不同的事情，从将氧气保存在宇航服内到防止被击中。所以functions的意思是“功能”，故选C。 六、阅读与表达（共10分，每小题2分）阅读短文根据内容回答问题。 阅读短文，根据内容回答问题。 Most of us use the alarm clock to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine. We can’t look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the biological clock inside our bodies, which is a natural system in living things that controls regular physical activities such as sleeping. Barbara exercised every morning. She woke up at 6:00 a. m. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s legs and back started to hurt. She did some exercise before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran more slowly, but the pain didn’t stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said, “Don’t run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day because that is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercise after work.” She followed the doctor’s advice and her legs and back didn’t hurt any more. Today, doctors are learning more about “chronobiology”. It means the study of biological clocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep on time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illnesses, such as heart attacks（心脏病发作）, happen most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time for the person with a heart attack to take heart medication may be at night. When patients take heart medication at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning. Because of the great importance of the biological clock, many doctors believe chronobiology can help us live healthier lives. Maybe it’s time for us to listen to the clock inside our bodies. 34. What clock do we have inside our bodies, the alarm clock or the biological clock? ____________________________________________ 35. Did Barbara’s legs hurt when she ran in the morning? ____________________________________________ 36. What does “chronobiology” mean? ____________________________________________ 37.

One Sunday afternoon, after running as usual, John decided to go home and have a rest. Just then, he noticed an old woman standing by the road. The old woman looked around worriedly. John went over and asked what he could do for her. After a short talk, John came to know that she forgot her way home and got lost. Besides, she was very tired and hungry. John called the old woman’s son and then took her to the nearest restaurant. In the restaurant, John ordered food and drink for the old woman politely. While eating, sometimes she carelessly sprinkled（撒）food and drink on the table and on her coat. Other customers felt disgusted（厌恶的）at this sight. But John didn’t care about this. He stood up and cleaned the table from time to time in silence. It took the old woman some time to finish eating. After that, John paid the bill and they were ready to leave when the old woman’s son arrived. He held John’s hands and said, “Thanks to your help, my mother was treated well.” “You’re welcome. She makes me remember my mom who died years ago. I did what a son should do,” said John. All the customers around showed respect（尊敬）to John. They were touched by his kindness. 24. Where did John work? A. In a park. B. In a restaurant. C. In a factory. D. In a school. 25. What happened to the old lady? A. She lost her way back home. B. She ran away from her son. C. She disliked the food at all. D. She couldn’t finish eating by herself. 26. What was John like? A. He was kind. B. He was rude. C. He was angry. D. He was calm. C No doctor has ever considered that a shirt can save a patient’s life. But on a family summer vacation in 2017, Rob Leibowitz wore a T-shirt while walking around Disney World with the words: “In Need of Kidney(肾脏) , O Positive.” A few months after a picture was posted on Facebook, Leibowitz, who had been on the list for several years, had a successful surgery(手术) . A complete stranger donated(捐赠) a kidney to him. Although this story might be unusual, it made me wonder: can medicine and fashion get connected in other ways? They might seem like as strange a combination as red and green. Yet fashion is already being considered in health care settings. For example, the effect of hospital gowns on patients has been studied, and many patients report feeling a loss of privacy when putting on a gown. The gown even drove patients to have the idea that they were unwell. As a result, designers(设计师) have rethought what a patient gown could look like. Such redesigns have not been widely accepted by hospitals yet, perhaps because the gowns have to be cheap, easy to make and easily washable. However, gowns in different sizes and colors might help give the patients a feeling of control and support—especially when so much is out of their control. In fact, creative solutions to patient gowns have already been shown to have some positive effects. At Weill Cornell, young patients who needed MRI scans(核磁共振检查) were given an “MRI-am-a-Hero” kit to make the experience feel like part of a superhero adventure. Researchers found that the number of kids who needed medicine to stay calm get smaller. My own experience also has shown me the value of thinking about how important fashion can be in medical settings. A few years ago, I was working on a study about how patients could find kidney donors through social networks. I remember asking one woman about her pink shirt, with “Help Me Find a Kidney” on the front and a picture of her and her family printed on the back. “Every time I put it on,” she explained, “I am reminded that there is still hope.” 27. Who donated a kidney to Rob Leibowitz? A. His brother. B. The writer. C. A stranger. D. His sister. 28. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. making gowns easily washable is unimportant B. redesigning gowns needs much money and new tools C. patients with terrible illnesses must post their needs online D. gowns with creative designs can bring patients good effects 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Dressing for Health B. Fashion Will Never Leave C. Ideas with Imagination D. Patients Are Always Waiting D A spacesuit is much more than a set of clothes astronauts wear on spacewalks. A full spacesuit is really a one-person spacecraft. The spacesuit protects the astronaut from the dangers of being outside in space. Spacesuits help astronauts in several ways. Spacewalking astronauts face different temperatures. Around the earth, conditions in space can be as cold as around -156℃. In the sunlight, they can be as hot as 121℃. A spacesuit protects astronauts from those extreme temperatures. Spacesuits also provide astronauts with O₂ to breathe while they are in space. They contain water to drink during spacewalks. They protect astronauts from being hit by a small object in space. It may not sound very dangerous, but when even the small object is moving many times faster than a bullet, it can be very harmful to astronauts. Spacesuits also protect astronauts from radiation(辐射) in space. The suits even have parts to protect astronauts’ eyes from the bright sunlight. The spacesuit includes several parts. The body equipment covers the astronaut’s body. The arm equipment covers the arms and connects to the gloves. The helmet(头盔) and another equipment are used to protect the astronaut’s head while still allowing him or her to see as much as possible. The lower equipment covers the astronaut’s legs and feet. These parts have different functions. They can do many different things, from keeping O₂ within the spacesuit to protecting from being hit. Under the spacesuit, astronauts wear a set of cooling equipment. Tubes(管子) are put into this tight-fitting piece of clothing that covers the whole body except for the head, hands and feet. Water moves through these tubes to keep the astronaut cool during the spacewalk. On the back of the spacesuit is a backpack. This backpack provides the O₂ that astronauts breathe during a spacewalk. It also takes CO₂ away. The backpack also provides electricity for the suit. A fan moves the O₂ through the spacesuit and life support systems, and a water tank holds the cooling water that moves through the cooling device. Another device called the Simplified Aid for Extravehicular Activity Rescue, or SAFER is necessary. If an astronaut became separated from the space station, he or she could use SAFER to fly back. 30. What does the backpack on the spacesuit provide according to the passage? A. CO₂. B. Food. C. Radiation. D. Electricity. 31. What can we learn from the passage? A. A small object hurts a little to astronauts in space. B. SAFER helps astronauts return to the space station. C. A spacesuit is just a kind of clothes to wear in space. D. An astronaut needs to wear the spacesuit all the time. 32. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2 & 3? A. What the parts of a spacesuit are. B. What astronauts wear in space. C. Why temperatures change a lot. D. Why astronauts need spacesuits. 33. The word “functions” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”. A. ways B. ideas C. uses D. tests 六、阅读与表达（共10分，每小题2分）阅读短文根据内容回答问题。 阅读短文，根据内容回答问题。 Most of us use the alarm clock to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine. We can’t look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the biological clock inside our bodies, which is a natural system in living things that controls regular physical activities such as sleeping. Barbara exercised every morning. She woke up at 6:00 a. m. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s legs and back started to hurt. She did some exercise before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran more slowly, but the pain didn’t stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said, “Don’t run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day because that is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercise after work.” She followed the doctor’s advice and her legs and back didn’t hurt any more. Today, doctors are learning more about “chronobiology”. It means the study of biological clocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep on time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illnesses, such as heart attacks（心脏病发作）, happen most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time for the person with a heart attack to take heart medication may be at night. When patients take heart medication at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning. Because of the great importance of the biological clock, many doctors believe chronobiology can help us live healthier lives. Maybe it’s time for us to listen to the clock inside our bodies. 34.
