22．（8分）Nandakumar and Sudha were thrilled to learn that they were having children. Unfortunately, Sudha developed diabetes while pregnant and her daughters were born two months premature. They need ventilator (呼吸机) support for the next 4-6 weeks to breathe. The family is poor and does not have the money to meet the unexpected expenses and need help to keep the babies alive.
Nandakumar, a carpenter by profession, fell sick after marriage and has not recovered fully. He is not mentally stable and tends to talk in a stream. He also finds it hard to hold down a job. Nandakumar’s mother Dheivanai has been the stabilising presence for the family. She kept things together and made sure that they had enough to eat.
“Sudha has been through a lot of grief over not having children. The previous child was still born, so we were very happy that this pregnancy was going well,” said Dheivanai. Dheivanai hoped that the children would bring joy to their household and take care of her son even after she was gone. She started saving up money for her grandchildren.
The cost of keeping the children alive is Rs 4 lakhs per child because they each need ICU (Intensive Care Unit) support for the next 4-6 months of their lives. The small savings of the family are already over and they are faced with a very painful situation trying to save two newborns with no money.
Nandakumar is mentally unwell and Sudha is still recovering from childbirth. So it falls to his mother to arrange for the babies5 well-being. “After my son became sick, me and my daughter-in-law have taken care of things. During her pregnancy. I have cared for her like she’s my own daughter. I feel pained that I don’t have the money to save the babies,” she says.
Before childbirth, Sudha and Dheivanai worked together and earned Rs 5,000 per month. Sometimes, Nandakumar picks up odd jobs and earns a bit more. The family has no savings and they need help to save their two innocent babies.

23．（8分）What Does the Length of Your Fingers Say About You?

Are you the peace-loving type or the ambitious go-getter? Your finger length might be a clue. Take a look at your fingers. Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in relation to one another can predict your personality? I know that it sounds like one of those silly tests you see on Facebook, but I have to admit that it is exactly correct for me. Here’s how it works.
Look at your three middle fingers of your hand. Is your index finger longer than your ring finger? Is your ring finger longer than your index finger? Or are the two of the same length? Find the situation that best matches your hand and see if what follows is an accurate description of your personality.
Longer ring finger: The Sweet Talker
If your ring finger is longer than your index finger, research shows that you’re likely a charming type, and you can probably talk yourself out of any situation. Others often find this personality type irresistible and will go to great lengths to help you. You’re more likely to take risks, and you’re good at problem-solving. People in this category make great engineers, soldiers and crossword-puzzle solvers.
Longer index finger: The (Over) Confident One
If your index finger is longer than your ring finger, chances are you are full of confidence—possibly even to the point of being over-confident and proud. You are not necessarily introverted (内向的), but you do enjoy time to yourself, especially when you’re trying to complete a project. You are a dream pursuer who can make things happen, but you may be shy when it comes to taking the first step in a relationship. You are also probably happy with what you have, but you’re always wishing for more.
Index and ring finger are of the same length: The Peacemaker
If your index finger and ring finger are roughly of the same length, you are likely to avoid conflict at all costs and seek to keep the peace in your relationships. You are well-organized, faithful and sympathetic. But deep down under all of that caring and peace-loving, you also have a hot-tempered side that can appear unexpectedly when you’re pushed too far. You will try your hardest to avoid a fight.
How well do these descriptions match your personality? I was surprised at the accuracy in my case, but I’m not going to tell you which one it was!
1、Which of the following hand could be an engineer’s hand?
A． B． C． D．
2、We can learn from the passage that the author ______.
A．is very charming and helpful B．always tries hard to avoid a fight
C．often takes silly tests on Facebook D．thinks the descriptions suit him well
3、What does the passage intend to tell us?
A．How accurate the description of the test is.
B．The length of fingers can reveal personality.
C．Why your fingers are not of the same length.
D．Personality is determined by your finger length.
4、Where can you probably find the text?
A．A popular magazine. B．An official report.
C．A public advertisement. D．A biology textbook.
24．（8分）It seems that electronic devices just keep getting smaller. Scientists in the United States have announced the creation of the first transistor with only two dimensions（二维）.
A transistor is a small electronic device that transfers or carries electronic current. Scientists hope these new 2D transistors will be used for building high-resolution（高分辨率）displays that need very little energy.
Two groups of scientists created these 2D transistors. They report that the transistors are only a few atoms thick.
Usually transistors are made with the element silicon（硅）. Computer processors, memory chips, TV screens and other electronic devices contain billions of silicon-based transistors. But these very small electrical parts have certain limitations.
Dimitris Ioannou is an electrical engineering professor at George Mason University. He says the traditional transistor has been improved as much as it can be.He adds that researchers have been looking for new materials with special features and they want transistors to be seen through and soft.
“If the layers are very thin, the transistor can become flexible, so it doesn't have to be rigid（坚硬的）, like it would be in a silicon chip. So people can think of applications like wearable electronics, television screens and other things,” said Ioannou.
These new transistors can also carry higher current. They also can move the current much faster than traditional transistors. This is important for high-definition screens.
Dimitris Ioannou says the scientific success could prove very useful in the future. "Now, how good and how useful it will be, it's still in the stage of research, but it certainly is an advance," said Ioannou.
1、Which of the following statements about the newly created transistor is TRUE?
A．They are expected to be used in high-resolution displays.
B．The transistors are made with the element silicon.
C．They are rigid, just like traditional transistors.
D．They have already been put into actual use.
2、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．The traditional transistors have been changed into two-dimensional ones.
B．Many of the traditional transistors have been improved over the years.
C．The traditional transistor has been developed to its fullest.
D．The traditional transistor has been developed quite well.
3、What is Dimitris Ioannou's attitude towards the creation of the new transistors?
A．Negative. B．Neutral.
C．Indifferent. D．Positive.
