A
Four teenage girls from Minnesota, US. 120 hours of non-stop togetherness. No cellphones. This is not a reality show, but an adventure journey.
“It was really perfect," said Julia Ruelle of her recent adventure to the Boundary Waters Canoe
Area Wilderness with three of her childhood friends. “By unplugging, we had an amazing time.”
Last year, the 16-year-old took part in an essay contest and carried off a prize. The award was a
5-day canoe and camping adventure with up to three friends. No parents or guides would be there. So
Julia invited her friends Anna Wander, Madeline Wilson and Julianna Torelli.
The four Minnetonka High School juniors arrived in Ely for training the day before they began
the journey. They set out the net day at 7 a.m., quickly developing a routine.
“We were done paddling by noon,” Julia said. “We ate lunch at the campsites and then it was
time for hammocks（吊床）, reading, making friendship bracelets（手镯）and talking.”
The girls had all had experience in the outdoors before.
Anna had been to the Boundary Waters with her family. “I love how you are separated from
everything in your life, especially technology,” Anna said. Without her phone, she said, “I'm less
worried about things.” Madeline, too, had been to the Boundary Waters a few years back. “But this
time, I had to paddle right and set up camp,” she said. The girls made fire and cooked meal together.
No one was ever hungry or homesick, but they were nervous the final night as they waited out a
thunderstorm. They left wet sleeping bags in one tent, and squeezed into another for the night.
“Every thunderstorm in the Boundary Waters feels huge,” Julia said.
On the car ride home, they were all on their phones catching up with friends. “It was a little at aloss turning my phone on,” said Anna. “Mental health can be improved so much in the Boundary
Waters. It really helps to get away and reconnect with yourself.”

On a recent trip to the island of Newfoundland, Canada, my husband asked our talkative cab
driver what made him most proud to be a native.
“Our generosity and hospitality（好客）,” he replied in a strong local accent. “If your car breaks
down in the middle of nowhere, someone will stop to help. People here are kind like that.” His
answer rang in my mind during that ride with my husband and teenage kids, as we headed out to
explore on the first day of our vacation.
Little did I know we were about to experience some of that remarkable Newfoundland kindness
for ourselves. We met Alma that same morning at the start of a long hike. Our teenagers hurried
ahead, and as we walked behind, admiring the scenery, two women in sunglasses and summer hiking
equipment stopped. They’d heard us discussing different routes, and then asked if we’d like
suggestions. They looked to be in their 40s, and were both enthusiastic to share their local expertise.
We listened eagerly, taking mental notes, until one of the women asked, “You have a car,
right? ” I explained that there were no cars available during our week on the island, so we had to rely
on cabs instead.
“Oh no,” she said, “you need a car.” And then, as casually as if offering a piece of chewing gum
（口香糖）, she said, “Take mine!” My husband and I just smiled in disbelief, dumbfounded.
"Why not?" she insisted. "You need a car to get to know all these places."
"But you don't even know us," I said.
"That doesn't matter," she continued with absolute determination.
Surprised, I looked over at her friend, who shrugged and said, "That's Alma."
Forty minutes of talking later, my family climbed into Alma's car. We spent the rest of our
vacation discovering different areas of this beautiful island. But it wasn't the groups of whales we
saw, or the vast areas of woodland, that made this place so memorable. Instead, it was the act of
kindness from a complete stranger that made us realize how special Newfoundland really was.
Next year, there's no doubt where we’ll be taking our summer vacation. Who knows what act of
kindness we’ll meet then?

B. The answer from the cab driver.
C. The beautiful scenery of the island.
D. The help from an enthusiastic stranger.
27. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph?

C. She is looking forward to meeting Alma once more.
D. She also wants to be kind to others during the vacation.

Have you ever heard someone say "You totally look like you're a Jessica" or something
similar？People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica”or a "Michael”looks
like. Why is this？
According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology，humans
tend to associate people's names with their appearances，and can even guess someone's name based
on how they look.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem，Israel，collected thousands of photos of
people's faces. They labeled（贴标签于）each photo with four names.
Then，they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.
The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38%of the time. It seems that certain
characteristics of faces give them clues about someone's name，Reader's Digest reported.
However，this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture. In
addition，the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames
（昵称）more often than their real names. This may show that a person's appearance is affected by
their name only if they use it often.
“This kind of face-name matching happens because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy（预
言），as we become what other people expect us to become，”Ruth Mayo from the university told
science news website Eurek Alert.
Earlier studies have shown that gender（性别）and race stereotypes（刻板印象）can affect a
person's appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For
example，people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself
looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be
“delicate”and“female”，just like the flower they are named for.
28.How is this article developed？
A. By giving examples.B. By asking questions.
C. By doing an experiment.
D. By comparing different cases.
29.What can be inferred from the study?
A. Volunteers found it much easier to guess nicknames.
B. Names have different associations in different cultures.
C. Volunteers could guess the characteristics of the interviewees.
D. The people in the photos and volunteers were from the same culture.
30. Why do some people look like their names according to Ruth Mayo?
A. They want to please everyone around them.
B. They don't want to be different from others.
C. They tend to become what others expect them to become.
D. They like to copy famous people who share the same name.
31. What may be the best title for this passage?
A. What determines our names B. Why we look like our names
C. How we get rid of our stereotypes D. How stereotypes affect people's looks
D
For as long as we’ve known about it, humans have searched for a cure for cancer. Across the
world, countless amounts of time and money have been spent on researching a way to stop this
terrible disease. But now, it seems like the answer could have been inside our own bodies the whole
time.
Recently, the Food and Drug Administration(FDA)in the US, a government agency that's
responsible for healthcare , approved a new form of gene therapy（疗法）that could mean the end of
a certain type of cancer.
The therapy allows scientists to “train” the immune（有免疫力的）cells of sick patients to fight
leukemia（白血病）- a form of blood cancer that mostly affects young people.
The exciting new treatment works by removing healthy immune cells from the patient, known
as T-cells, which are then changed to be able to "hunt down" cancer cells.
The cells are then put hack into the patient before they begin to get rid of the patient’s leukemia
over time, similar to how the body fights off other illnesses.
“This is truly an exciting new day for cancer patients,” Louis J. DeGennaro, president of the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, said in a news release.
Up until now, a long and painful marrow transplant（骨髓移植）was the only option for many
leukemia patients.
In this procedure, healthy blood cells are taken from a donator and placed into the sick patient,
who also has to go through chemotherapy （化疗）to allow their body to adjust to the new cells.
But with a recovery rate of around 83% -according to a news release published by the FDA -it’s
hoped that the days of painful trips to the hospital, or even death, are over for leukemia sufferers.
“We're entering a new frontier in medical innovation（创新）with the ability to reprogram a
patient’s own cells to attack a deadly cancer, " FDA representative Scott Gottlieb said in the release.
“New technologies such as gene and cell therapies hold the potential to transform medicine and our
ability to treat and even cure many incurable illnesses.”
32. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To compare different ways of curing leukemia.
B. To report on a breakthrough in cancer treatment.
C. To explore the potential of gene and cell therapies.
D. To show scientists' efforts in search of a cure for cancer.
33. How does the new treatment to fight leukemia work?
A. By using changed T-cells to destroy cancer cells.
B. By replacing sick blood cells with healthy ones.
C. By removing sick blood cells during marrow transplant.
D. By using chemotherapy to improve the patient's immune system.
34. What can be inferred about the new therapy for leukemia sufferers?
A. It can save them many more trips to the hospital.
B. It can improve their ability to fight off all kinds of cancer.
C. It can give them a better chance of survival and recovery.D. It can reduce their pain in the process of marrow transplant.
35. What is Scott Gottlieb’s attitude toward gene and cell therapies?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Worried. D. Casual.

I’ve always been interested in why we do the things we do，so last year I decided I’d like to
study psychology. Most courses I found，however，were either too expensive，too long or were
impossible to combine with work. I was about to give up 36 .
At first，I had no idea what they were talking about，but they explained that a MOOC is a
Massive Open Online Course-a new type of course offered completely online to thousands of people，which is designed so that anyone can follow it，regardless of age，location or education- 37 .You can search for hundreds of different subjects，and can usually watch a short introduction video to get an idea of what the course is about.
38 .At first，I didn't know what to expect or how much time I might spend studying. Each
week there were video lectures to watch and readings to do as well as some short assignments. The
lectures were really interesting and easy to follow，and it was great to be able to watch them again or
pause them to go and do something else. Most MOOCs have online forums（论坛），too，where
students can discuss what they are learning. These are often really fascinating because there are so
many different opinions， 39 .If you read everything on the forums，you won't have time to finish
the lectures！
40 .There is a huge range of courses on offer in hundreds of subjects，and you have the
chance to learn new things and be in contact with many different types of people，all from the
comfort of your own home. Why not check out a MOOC and start learning something new today？
A. but they are very time-consuming
B. all you need is an Internet connection
C. when a friend suggested that I try a MOOC
D. I chose a six-week Social Psychology courseE. it is difficult to find a course to combine with work
F. But the advantages of MOOCs for busy people today are obvious
G. In fact, that seems to be one of the problems of this new way of studying

Cheques have largely replaced money as a means of exchange, for they are widely accepted

People don't always 45 this and are shocked if their good 46 is called into question. An old and very wealthy friend of mine told me that he had ever had an extremely 47 experience. He went to a famous jewelry shop which kept a large stock of precious stones and asked to see some necklaces. After examining carefully, he 48 to buy a particularly fine diamond necklace and asked if he could pay by cheque. The assistant said that this was quite in order，but the moment my friend 49 his name，he was invited into the manager's office.
The manager was polite，and he explained that someone with exactly the same name had 50
them with a worthless cheque not long ago. My friend got very 51 when he heard this and said that he would buy a 52 somewhere else.
When he got up to leave，the ma
