"I have cancer." Mom said and held me in a tight hug. I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed.
For all of my twenty-four years, my mom had been supportive. Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me. Now I knew it would have to flow the other way.
Mom didn't stay down for long. After the shock of breast-cancer, she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors. She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications(药物)with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school. "The not-knowing is the worst." she said.
The operation was successful. The chemo(化疗)was the harder part. I went with Mom to every chemo treatment. She rarely complained, though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one. She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills, even though she never wore nail polish. "Cancer can take my hair, my nails, my health, my very life. But it can't take my smile." Mom said.
Mom learned to share her fears with me, and it formed an even deeper bond between us. Yet I am certain there were fears she didn't share because she was still protecting me-worries she only shared with Dad. Even in the darkest hours, she would just joke about the cancer. Mom always said, "When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it, you take away some of its power.”
Mom was one of the lucky ones. She did beat her cancer, though not without scars. From her, I've learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it.
24.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.There were other ways to treat cancer. B.Knowledge of cancer would be helpful.
C.Mom had to stay stronger to beat cancer. D.I should be the one being there for Mom.
25.Which of the following words can best describe Mom?
A.Humorous and generous. B.Considerate and ambitious.
C.Optimistic and determined. D.Caring and knowledgeable.
26.What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A.The fear Mom shared with me. B.The ways Mom faced fear.
C.The jokes Mom told me. D.The bond Mom and I formed.
27.What lesson did the author learn from Mom?
A.Luck counts in beating diseases. B.Complaint does no good to one's health.
C.Positive attitudes get one through hardship. D.Sharing feelings helps reduce sufferings a lot.
C
Coral reefs(珊瑚礁)are an integral part of sea life and sustain it by providing shelter and habitat to various organisms. They also supply and recycle nutrients as well as enable a growing fish population, along with other species, for a healthy and diverse ecosystem. However, the rise in average water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime “coral bleaching(白化现象)” events that damage their health, causing fish and other sea species to abandon them.
In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kick-starting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms. The location for this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the coral Sea, found alongside the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The site is noted to have the largest coral reef system in the world.
“Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places--the crackle of snapping shrimp and the whoops and grunts of fish. Young fish concentrate on these sounds when they’re looking a place to settle”, said Steve Simpson, study co-author and a professor at the University Exeter, UK.
By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, compared to places where no sounds were played. "These returning fish, are crucial for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems. Boosting fish populations in this way
could help to kick-start natural recovery processes, preventing the damage we’re seeing on many coral reefs around the world,” said lead author, Tim Gordon.
28.What causes the phenomenon of coral bleaching?
A.Diverse species B.Noise pollution.
C.Fishing industry D. Climbing temperatures.
29.What approach is introduced to recover the coral reefs?
A.Removing damaged coral reefs
B.Using loudspeakers to keep fish away
C.Building new homes for sea species.
D. Playing certain sounds to appeal to fish
30.Why are Steve Simpson's words quoted?
A.To provide some findings of the study.
B.To show the progress of the experiment.
C.To explain reasons for the new approach.
D.To give another solution to the problem.
31.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The attempts are in vain.
B.Natural recovery is impossible.
C.Initial success has been achieved.
D.The coral reefs have returned to normal.

Adults perform better when they have a lot to gain or lose. But scientists did not know whether teens did too. To find out, Insel asked 88 people between the ages of 13 and 20. She had them try a game. The participants looked at pictures of planets on a computer screen. They had to click as fast as they could when they saw a planet with designs. They were not supposed to click if a planet had no designs.
The participants could earn 20 cents for right answers but lose 10 cents for wrong ones. In other sessions, they’d get a dollar for right answers, and lose a half dollar for wrong ones. Players of all ages wanted to win the money, and cared more about bigger rewards than smaller ones.

As Insel expected, adults performed better when the stakes were high. But teens 13 to 18 played just as well whether they stood to win 20 cents or a dollar. Only 19- or 20-year olds stepped up their game for the higher stakes.
Insel’s team published this work November 28, 2017, in Nature Communications.
Brains change and mature during adolescence. And not all parts grow at the same rate. Insel was interested in two areas in particular. One is deep inside the brain and just above the ears. Called the ventral striatum (腹侧纹状体), it helps the brain calculate rewards. The ventral striatum becomes mature during the teen years.
The brain’s prefrontal cortex (前额叶) takes longer to mature. This area is important for planning and setting goals. It may not mature until early adulthood.
Nerve pathways — think of them as the brain’s “wiring” — connect the ventral striatum and prefrontal cortex. This lets the two regions communicate to make decisions. But because the prefrontal cortex matures later, the wiring between the two may not be complete until adulthood.
32.Which of the following can explain Insel’s research?
A.Teens ignore key points in many aspects.
B.Adults behave better with higher rewards.
C.Teens give more attention to exams than usual work.
D.Adults behave more maturely than children in every way.
33.What does the underlined word “stakes” refer to?
A.The final results of games or experiments.
B.The things that can be gained or lost in races.
C.The ambitions or energies that one experiences in games.
D.The powers that make one feel less pressure or pain.
34.From the passage, we can know ___________.
A.the experiment aims to find out adults’ behaviour facing high stakes
B.teens have better performances in the first rounds
C.adults care less about the experiment at first
D.adults and teens show differently with high stakes
35.Which is the best title of the passage?
A.Unlike adults, teens don’t perform better with high stakes

B.Who perform better, adults or children?
C.Stakes are the key points in promoting one’s passion
D.Whether low stakes or high stakes, one behaves similarly

Two summers ago, I had decided to begin a weight loss journey but had no idea where to start. Two years later, I have yet again decided to start being healthy and I need some knowledge on what to do. Now, I want to share it with all of you.
The most important thing that I have come to realize is that you have to see this as a lifestyle change, not just a diet that can end or fail.  ____36___ You will also feel less pressure if you eat a burger once in a while since you think you haven’t failed a diet and that you can always go twice as hard the next day.
____37___ Calories in versus calories out (热量输入对热量输出) if you put it in simple terms. If you want to lose weight, you must be eating in a way that your net gain of calories at the end of the day is negative.
___38____ It is better to eat healthy food with more calories than a low-cal pack of chips. Calorie counting can also become a bit unhealthy if not well controlled. So I recommend just eating well and controlling the amounts of food instead.
Exercise is also vital to a healthier life. Although cardio (有氧运动) is known for its quick result, weights are also essential. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn. Therefore, people with more muscle mass are able to burn what they eat quicker resulting in a greater calorie reduction. ___39___.
Everyone has a different body and what I eat may actually be bad for your weight loss. ____40__ It may take t
