It was a sunny afternoon in June when 20-year-old Anthony Perry stepped off the train at Chicago’s 69th Street station.On the platform,two men were fighting bitterly.Then the unthinkable happened:the pair fell over the edge and onto the tracks.One man ended up on his back.Suddenly,he started convulsing(抽搐) unnaturally.He had fallen on the third rail,the conduit (导线管) for the 600 volts of electricity that powers Chicago’s L trains.The aggressor leaped backward,bounded back up onto the platform and disappeared.
Perry couldn’t just stand there and watch.He sat at the edge of the platform and eased himself down.He took a few quick bounds and approached the victim.The guy looked dead,his body still moving violently as the electricity pulsed (搏动).Gathering up his courage,Perry reached down and grasped the victim’s wrist.Instantly,he felt a blast of electric shock shoot through his body.Perry shrank and jumped back.He reached down a second time,and was shocked again.But the third time he seized the man’s wrist and forearm and,braving the shock,pulled with all his strength.The guy’s body slid briefly along the third rail,coming to rest on the gravel on the outer edge of the tracks.
The man was breathing,but irregularly.Something wasn’t right.“Give him chest compressions (按压)!” yelled a woman.Perry was no expert,but for a few moments he worked on the man’s heart until the victim began convulsing.Then he heard a sudden noise behind him—medical workers and firefighters had arrived.Perry let the professionals take over.His heart still racing from the electric shocks,he climbed back up onto the platform,grabbed his things and headed home.
The evening news reported the incident.After a friend outed him to the media,Perry became the toast of Chicago.Perry was then recruited by the Chicago Fire Department and is now training to be an emergency medical technician.
24.What made the rescue of the victim particularly difficult?
A.The man had lost his consciousness.
B.The victim lay injured on top of a track.
C.The rescuer was at risk of an electric shock.
D.The electricity powering trains was hard to cut off.
25.What can be inferred about Perry according to paragraphs 3-4?
A.He had received professional first aid training.
B.The local newspaper interviewed him on the spot.
C.His chest compressions played a key role in saving life.
D.His heart beat fast because of nervousness and tiredness.

A team of engineers has invented a new type of tiny,self-driven robots that can travel through liquid at incredible speeds and may one day even deliver drugs to hard-to-reach places like bladder(膀胱) inside the human body.
The new study shows this research is a big step forward for tiny robots.The microrobots are really small.Each one measures only 20 micrometers wide,several times smaller than the width of a human hair.They’re also really fast,capable of traveling at speeds of about 3 millimeters per second,or roughly 9,000 times their own length per minute.The machines look a bit like small rockets and come complete with three tiny wings.The team makes its microrobots out of materials by using a technology similar to 3D printing.Each of the robots carries a small bubble (泡泡) of trapped air.If you expose the machines to sound,the bubbles will begin to shake wildly,pushing water away and shooting the robots forward.
“Imagine if microrobots could perform certain tasks in the body,such as surgeries without cutting into the body,” said Jin Lee,lead author of the study,“we can simply introduce the robots to the body through a pill or an injection,and they would perform the procedure themselves.If that sounds like something copied from science fiction,that’s because it is.” He imagined that,just like in the movie,microrobots could move through a person’s blood stream,seeking out targeted areas.“Once there,the machines slowly released their medicine over the course of about two days.Such a steady flow of medicine could improve the outcome for patients.” Lee added,“But there is a lot of work to do before microrobots can travel through real human bodies.”
For a start,the group wants to make the machines fully biodegradable so that they would eventually disappear in the body,causing no damage at all.“If we can make them work in the bladder,” Lee said,“maybe patients wouldn’t have to come into the clinic as often.”
28.What is an advantage of the invention?
A.The small size. B.The rocket-like shape.
C.The big bubble. D.The 3D-printed material.
29.What can we infer from Lee’s words about the robots in paragraph 3?
A.They cure bladder diseases.
B.They help to give patients pills.
C.They are inspired from science fiction.
D.They have performed tasks in human bodies.
30.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “biodegradable” in paragraph 4?
A.Efficient. B.Dissolvable.
C.Recyclable. D.Sensitive.
31.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To introduce a healthcare robot.
B.To advertise a medical machine.
C.To arouse interest in developing robots.
D.To raise concern about bladder diseases.
D
A study found wireless signals are able to pass through bags and suitcases to judge the sizes of dangerous metal objects and identify them.“These items could include weapons,chemicals,laptops and batteries for bombs,” the research team said on Tuesday.
Research suggested that Wi-Fi can now be used to estimate the volume of liquids such as water,acid,alcohol and other chemicals for explosive material.The study led by researchers at the Wireless Information Network Laboratory (WINLAB) in the School of Engineering showed a wireless device with two to three antennas(天线) that could be fitted in existing Wi-Fi networks.
The detection system analyzes what happens when wireless signals go through and bounce off objects or materials.The approach,which the paper states,works by separating the wireless interference(干扰) caused by two factors of objects—the material and shape.“Most dangerous objects such as weapons are usually metal or liquid,which have significant interference,” researchers said.
When it was tested on a backpack,the accuracy rate topped 95 percent.“But the accuracy dropped to about 90 percent when objects inside bags are wrapped.And the tech could save lives if used in museums,stadiums,theme parks or schools,” the team said,noting its design can inspect bags or luggage without being an exposure to privacy.
It uses channel state information (CS) that is readily available in low-cost Wi-Fi devices.“This could have a great impact on protecting the public from dangerous objects,” said Chen Yingying,a co-author of the study,“There’s a growing need for that now.In large public areas,it’s hard to set up expensive screening equipment like what’s in airports.Manpower is always needed to check bags and we want to develop a method to try to reduce manpower.”
The peer-reviewed study,which recently won a best paper award at the 2018 IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security,is now published online.“Future work will continue to focus on improving the accuracy of identifying objects and imaging shapes and volumes,” researchers said.
32.What does paragraph 3 talk about?
A.The function of the technique.
B.The way the device works.
C.The principle the study is based on.
D.The benefit of the study findings.
33.What’s the advantage of the device?
A.It saves people in danger of natural disasters.
B.It passes through bags without damaging them.
C.It uses antennas to pick up networks’ signals.
D.It protects personal information from being exposed.
34.What is Chen Yingying’s attitude towards using the new device?
A.Indifferent. B.Opposed.
C.Supportive. D.Doubtful.
35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Wireless Signals to Judge Metal Objects
B.A Wireless Device for Identifying Danger
C.Antennas to Be Fitted in Wi-Fi Networks
D.Devices for Improving the Accuracy of Identifying Objects

In 1945,a 12-year-old boy saw a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window that set his heart racing.But the price five dollars was too high for Reuben Earle.Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family.
Reuben couldn’t ask his father for the money.Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother,Dora.Slim and beautiful,she was the center of the home and the glue that held it together.The housework was never-ending,and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children,but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless,he opened the shop’s door and went inside.Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack shirt and washed-out trousers,he told the shopkeeper what he wanted,adding,“But I don’t have the money right now.Can you please hold it for me for some time?”
“I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled.“People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on things.It should keep for a while.”
Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out.He would raise the money and not tell anybody,for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that brooch.On hearing the sound of hammering (捶打) from a side street,Reuben suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags.People built their own homes in Bay Roberts,using nails bought in bags from a local factory.Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site,and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Every day after school,Reuben started his plan.
Finally,the time came!

Hello,everyone.It is indeed a great pleasure to have this chance to address such a large audience this evening.I’m Pierre Chabrol from the University of Marseille.At the moment I’m carrying out a research in Senegal for the United Nations as a part of project to increase the world food production.Before I get on to what exactly we did in our research,I would like to explain briefly the purpose behind it.Quite simply my subject is rice.As you all know,rice is the main food for millions of people in the world.So if the rice crops fail,millions of people starve and die.And they do fail,very often through disease.Now what my colleagues and I have been doing out in the field in Senegal as well as in the university laboratories is to try to produce a disease-resisting variety of rice,a particular kind of rice,which will resist disease,in other words,a stronger type of rice.
