A
Researchers at Oxford University say they have developed a new method that could predict heart attacks years before they happen. They use mathematical algorithms(演算法)to examine CT images of a patient's heart. One report on their study has been published in the medical journal The Lancet.
Most heart attacks result from a build-up of fatty tissue inside arteries(动脉)that carry blood from the heart to other areas of the body. Too much buildup can block this flow of blood and cause a heart attack. Currently, doctors use CT scans to learn when a sticky substance called plaque has already built up inside an artery. The new technology is designed to predict which arteries are at risk for future buildup. How much fat is present around heart arteries also can be measured. That fat changes when an artery becomes inflamed(发炎), serving as an early warning system for heart attacks.
Charalambos Antoniades, a professor of cardiovascular(心血管)medicine at Oxford University, believes the research shows this method could be very effective in getting patients to take early steps to prevent future problems.
“Say your arteries are inflamed and a narrowing will be developed five years down the line. So maybe you can start preventive measures to avoid this formation of plaques,” he said. “If you are able to identify inflammation in the a rteries of the heart, then you can say which arteries will cause heart attacks.”Antoniades added that researchers had yet to estimate exactly how many heart attacks could be prevented. But he said he believes the technique could help identify between 20 to 30 percent of people at risk of having one.
He added that the new technology will make such predictions easier because it works together with existing CT technology.
21.You can identify which arteries will cause heart attacks by___________.
A.locating where the inflamed arteries are
B. seeing a cardiovascular doctor
C. developing a new method to predict it
D. measuring how much fat is built up
22.This passage is probably from a ___________.
A.medical textbook
B. travel brochure
C. graduation paper
D. science journal
23.What‟s Artoniades‟ attitude towards the new method?
A.Tolerant.
B. Defensive.
C. Critical.
D. Favorable.
B
After the surgery, Sun suffered intense pain, but insisted that he didn‟t need any medication. One evening, he found Law, his wife, crying on the balcony of their apartment in a rare outburst of frustration. “If you won‟t help yourself, no one else can,” she said.
Sun started a list “How to Help Myself”, and on it he wrote, “Keep communicating with the doctors, even if they are darker thoughts.” On Oct. 20th, a few days before his 33 birthday, Sun wrote in a Facebook post, “It‟s been hard to get along with having aggressive and incurable Grade 4 brain cancer; it‟s been hard not to get angry and sad about it; it‟s been fr ustrating that every pathology(病理)test after my surgery came back with the worst possible result; and it‟s been hard to accept that modern medicine isn‟t able to fix me.” At the same time, he wrote, “Every day I wake up not-dead is a gift.”
Sun and Law had other lists, detailing the things that they hoped to accomplish in life, which included a trip to Wimbledon; climbing Mt. Snowdon in Wales; and a range of musical aspirations(愿望)----from learning the Bach sonatas(奏鸣曲)and partitas(变奏曲)to performing the first violin part in a concert. S un started working on Bach‟s six sonatas and partitas for unaccompanied violin,
the most difficult parts, which George Enescu, a world-famous violinist, once described as the Himalayas for violinists. Sun practiced every day, even if he could manage only fifteen minutes between medical treatments. As he mastered each piece, he posted his performances on Facebook. He finished on November 12th, then turned to the even more difficult Paganini caprices(随想曲), which he had often listened to in a recording by Itzhak Perlman. “It‟s something I always wanted to play when I grew up, like wanting to be great baseball player,” he said.
24. Law cried on the balcony because__________.
A. she suffered great pain from the Grade 4 brain cancer
B. Sun refused to get medical treatment after the surgery
C. nobody else wanted to help them out of the situation
D. no money was left to pay for Sun‟s the medical treatment
25. W hich of the following can best describe Sun‟s feeling when he wrote “Every day I wake up not-dead is
a gift.”?
A. grateful
B. sad
C. frustrated
D. determined
26. The couple‟s list of things they hoped to accomplish in life included __________.
A. playing tennis in Wimbledon
B. cycling in Mt. Snowdon in Wales
C. learning Mozart‟s sonatas and partitas
D. playing the first violin part in a concert
27. I n the last paragraph, Bach‟s six sonatas and partitas is compared to the Himalayas for violinist to stress __________.
A. its popularity among people
B. its value for learners
C. its difficulty when being learned
D. its importance in violists‟ eyes
C
The Hal eakalā Movement, which has affected the Hawaiian people, involved many Hawaiian activists peacefully protesting(抗议)against the construction of the Daniel K. Solar Telescope atop Haleakalā. The top of Haleakalā is a very sacred piece of land to Hawaiians. The problem is the leveling out of Haleakalā to structurally support the base of the telescope. Hawaiians could not watch their sacred land atop their mountain destroyed.
The goal of the protesters was to stop the movement of the trucks hauling(拖拽)telescope parts to the top of Haleakalā. At each event, protesters would march on the crosswalk in front of the base yard entrance holding signs that read “Aloha …Āina” and “Kūʻē,” meaning Love the Land and Resist respectively. When the trucks started their engines, several protesters lay down in the driveway, with their arms linked together with PVC pipes. Twenty of them were arrested.
I, as a youth of this generation, am a part of those Hawaiians who stood against the construction of the telescope and the destruction of our sacred mountain. I experienced first-hand and through social media what happened at each protest. Each of the protests that I attended took place at the Maui Base yard, however, there were others that took place atop Haleakalā. Most of the pro testers marching were of Maui roots, but there were other protesters that came from different islands to show their support for the natives‟ stand against the destruction of our sacred mountain.
Following all that I had experienced these days, I left with the understanding that the youth of our generation have a very important role. Our role is to learn from the mistakes of the present and guide the world down the right path allowing it to grow and prosper. We, as the seeds of the present, must grow to
protect the history of the human race, but at the same time prevent ourselves from repeating the actions and decisions that may have once destroyed us in the past. We, the youth, are the key to the prosperity of the future.
28. W hat caused the Haleakalā Movem ent?
A. That the sacred top of the mountain would be leveled out.
B. That local Hawaiians stopped the trucks from going uphill.
C. That twenty local Hawaiians protesters were arrested by the police.
D. That the rainforests on Mt. Haleakalā were seriously d estroyed.
29. From the passage, the writer learned __________.
A. all Hawaiian young people should participate in the movement
B. it is important to protect the environment in Hawaii rainforest
C. local Hawaiian culture is more important than the advanced technology
D. young people are an important factor for tomorrow‟s prosperity
30. The writer is probably __________.
A. a teenage student
B. a school teacher
C. a government official
D. a policeman

The only thing better than a vacation is a well-planned vacation with friends. With careful preparation and good communication, you can ensure that your group will stay enthusiastic through the whole trip.
31
Choose friends you get along well with.You‟ll be spending a lot of time with your travel companions, so think of people who have similar general travel habits and are flexible and relaxed. 32 Also consider whether a friend is an early riser or prefers to go to sleep late, and how high-maintenance they tend to be.
33 Ask your friends to be open about how much you‟re each willing to pay for the trip, between travel, accommodation, food and entertainment costs. You‟ll plan your travel schedule around these loose budget constraints(限制条件).
Plan transportation
Buy plane tickets early to avoid higher prices. Use public transportation if your group is small enough to keep together. Consider renting a car if you‟re traveling with smal l children or a larger group.
Choose a destination
34 Since you‟re traveling farther, it‟s best to go with a group that‟s small and easy to keep together, no more than three or four people. If you know your friends would rather lounge by the beach than go walking all over a city, a trip to a tropical destination might be the best choice.
Decide on daytime and nighttime activities
Research popular attractions in your destination and share them with your group. 35 This will allow everyone‟s voice to be heard and ensures that the planners don‟t have to make all the hard decisions.
N ow, it‟s time to start getting ready to plan the trip.

Three years ago, Brian Palmer, a 43-year-old native of Beaumont, California, was a homeless man struggling 56 (overcome) alcohol addiction.

“That was 65 (real) empowering,” Palmer told the audience afterward. Palmer explained what had been going through his mind as he sang. “An act of love,” he said, looking out at familiar faces in front of him. “One act of love, I know for sure, is listening.”

第二节:概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下列短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
“Stop the world, I want to get off!” This popular expression refers to a feeling of panic, or stress, that makes people want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and become calm again. Stress is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems.
There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory(呼吸的)system. It can lead to asthma and cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomachaches and problems of digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may have panic attacks and feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.
It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health, our feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.

Dear Mary,
I’m Li Hua, a student from Class 3 Grade 12.I’m writing to complain about the poor food quality and the service in the cafeteria.
The food is not covered with flies hovering over it, which can lead to diseases. My friends who ate in the cafeteria had diarrhea yesterday. Besides, we would appreciate a litter more variety in the menu choices. We understand it’s hard but it’s not very appetizing to have hotdogs three days in a row. What’s worse, the cafeteria staff are rude to us when we make selections.
We believe these complaints can be fixed if you will take action. Thank you for taking the time to consider my requests. (94 words)
Yours,
Li Hua

M: Did you go out at once?
