21．（6分） In no particular order, here are some songs on the Music app of my phone:
On a Sunday Afternoon by Lighter Shade of Brown—A student of mine introduced this rap song lo me all the way back in the early 1990s, when 1 was teaching Spanish at a local university. The story in the song takes place not too far from where I live in Los Angeles. It’s a good “driving” song, nothing complicated or “deep”.
Say Something by A Great Big World—A more recent song about a couple losing contact with each other. The piano part is very little playing but beautiful.
American Pie by Don McLean—Another song from my youth in the 80s, very popular with almost every American of my generation. It retells some of the key events of the middle 20th century, a song of happy memories of the past and wanting to return to those better times.
The Weight by The Band—Another old song, originally made public in 1968, but one I didn’t hear until I was in high school more than 10 years later. I don’t understand the words to the song completely, but the feeling of the song is very comforting to me.
Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers—This Los Angeles group wrote a song that 1 used to listen to when I first moved to LA more than 25 years ago. I didn’t know anyone here when I first arrived. When I got bored, I used to drive up and down the major streets that cross the city from east to west listening to this song about the “city of angel” being as “lonely as I am. (Don t worry! I have plenty of friends now.)
1、What does the underlined word “deep” probably mean?
A．with skill B．with comfort
C．with a normal meaning D．with a significant meaning
2、When did the author probably hear the Weight by The Band?
A．In 1968. B．In 1970.
C．in the 1980s. D．in the 1990s.
3、When the author first moved to LA, the first song he heard was .
A．Say Something B．American Pie
C．The Weight D．Under the Bridge
22．（8分）Bendable wings covered with overlapping (重叠部分) pieces looking like fish scales could be used to build more controllable, fuel­efficient aircraft, a new study finds.
Nowadays, conventional aircraft typically rely on ailerons (副翼) to help control the way the planes tilt (倾斜) as they fly. However, when the Wright brothers flew the first airplane, Flyer 1, over a century ago, they used no ailerons but wires that pulled and stretched the wood­and­canvas wings, to control the plane.
“Scientists have long sought to develop aircraft that can change their wings during flight, just as birds can. However, most previous attempts have failed because they relied on heavy mechanical control structures within the wings. These structures were also complex and unreliable，” said Neil Gershenfeld, a physicist and director of the Centre for Bits and Atoms at MIT.
The new wing consists of a system of tiny, strong and lightweight modules (组件). The shape of the wing can be changed uniformly along its length using two small motors, which apply a twisting pressure to each wingtip. These wings are covered in “skins” of overlapping strips of flexible material like fish scales. These strips move across each other as the wings change themselves, providing a smooth outer surface, the researchers explained.
Wind tunnel tests of these wings showed that they at least matched the aerodynamic (气动) properties of conventional wings, at about one­tenth the weight. “Initial tests using remotely piloted aircraft made with these wings have shown great promise，” said Benjamin Jenett, a graduate student at the Centre for Bits and Atoms at MIT.
The new modular structures the scientists developed could be manufactured quickly in mass quantities and then installed by teams of small robots. These modular structures also can be disassembled more easily, making repairs simpler.
“Still, the first aircraft built using this strategy will not be a passenger jet，” Gershenfeld said. “Instead, the technology will likely first be tested on unmanned aircrafts, leading to aircrafts flying for a long time, to help deliver Internet access or medicine to remote villages.”
1、Why is the Wright brothers' airplane mentioned in the text?
A．To show the history of aircrafts.
B．To show the development of wings.
C．To show the need to improve planes.
D．To show the structure of conventional planes.
2、What makes planes fly like birds when they tilt?
A．Their ailerons. B．Wires and pulleys.
C．Changeable wings. D．Mechanical control structures.
3、What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The shape of the new wings.
B．The purpose of the overlapping strips.
C．The working principle of the new wings.
D．The result of wind­tunnel tests of these wings.
4、What does the underlined word “disassemble” mean in Paragraph 6?
A．Replace. B．Analyze.
C．Put away. D．Take apart.
23．（8分） Little black taxis, often run-down and falling apart from decades of use, have for a long time been a main feature of Cairo’s chaotic urban landscape. But their days may be numbered, thanks to a new taxi replacement programme aimed at knocking out older, potentially unsafe vehicles.
The government-sponsored action, launched earlier this year, allows drivers of taxis 20 years or older, mostly Fiats and Peugeots, to trade their cars for shiny new all-white ones at generous rates of financing. Drivers can choose between five different locally manufactured car models.
According to officials, more than 11,000 brand new taxis, sporting trademark checked stripes on the sides, have already hit the streets of the capital, and they’ve been welcomed enthusiastically by passengers. Many people say that not only are the new taxis more comfortable, but they also make the streets of Cairo far more presentable. Furthermore, taxi fares have only increased by a small amount.
The poor condition of most black and white taxis is almost legendary. Passengers often have to deal with windows and doors that do not open and close, and heavy, thick petrol gases. Air conditioning is unheard of. The new all-white taxis, meanwhile, are cleaner, more fuel-efficient and provide air conditioning on request. Furthermore, all the new taxis come equipped with functioning fare meters, which avoids arguments and sometimes fights with passengers!
The government hopes to replace all of the capital’s 40,000 elderly black cabs soon, but not everyone in Cairo will be happy to see them go. Hotel manager Ibrahim Al-Toukhy says that the old black cabs were weak and run-down, and maybe even a little dangerous, but they were part of the city, and part of Cairo’s character.
1、Which of the followings can replace the underlined word “chaotic” in paragraph 1?
A．disorderly B．fantastic C．busy D．silent
2、Which of the following statements is TRUE about the new taxis?
A．They are much more presentable.
B．Their passengers have to pay dramatically more.
C．They are much more energy-saving.
D．Only few of them provide air conditioning.
3、What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The road traffic condition of Cairo.
B．A taxi renewal programme launched in Cairo.
C．The problems with old black Cairo taxis.
D．Various views on the new taxi replacement in Cairo.
24．（8分）Narrative medicine for healthcare professionals
If you' re a healthcare professional looking to better serve your patients, a practice known as narrative medicine may have a powerful impact. In narrative medicine, patients share the stories behind their health conditions, with an emphasis(强调 ) on their personal and emotional experience of illness, enabling clinicians (临床医生 )to provide sympathetic care. According to a report published in The Permanente Journal, the stories shared may act as a "useful resource for understanding the individual, patient - specific meaning of an illness". It ' s thought that this understanding may provide clinicians with a unique and invaluable insight into how best to treat the condition at hand.
In a healthcare system where providers are so often pressed for time, the idea of taking time out to hear each patient' s health story may seem discouraging. However, many practitioners of narrative medicine have found that the benefits of this practice supersede (取代) any concerns about time management. Along with a deeper understanding of the connections between patients ' behaviors and symptoms and the struggles that patients face in controlling their conditions, the benefits of narrative medicine include a stronger insight into possible treatments. It ' s also thought that building a health narrative may help patients feel more engaged(参与感) and empowered when it comes to managing their condition What ' s more , studies have shown that patients may experience improvement in symptoms when encouraged to express their conditions about their illness.
Once you' ve included narrative medicine in your practice, getting the word out can help you draw patients who are seeking this approach to healthcare. Along with updating your website, you can expand your reach with social media platforms, like Facebook and Twitter. Using social media content and blog posts to share your experiences can arouse the interest of patients. Since many patients may be unfamiliar with narrative medicine, your content can go a long way in spreading the word about the many benefits of this practice. Even if you don ' t write about "narrative medicine" , the ways you write and communicate with convey your approach.
1、Narrative medicine helps clinicians provide treatment based on
A．the patient ' s wishes and needs B．the patient ' s description of his illness
C．the patient ' s personal information D．the patient ' s mental and emotional state
2、What makes it a challenge for clinicians to practice narrative medicine?
A．Lack of equipment. B．Their busyness.
C．The patient ' s status. D．No official permission.
3、How does a patient benefit from narrative medicine?
A．He is more able to monitor his health conditions.
B．He can spend less money during the treatment.
C．He gets more confidence in controlling his disease.
D．He gets to know his own behaviors and symptoms.
4、What do we know about narrative medicine from the last paragraph?
A．It is only known by a few people. B．It is widely used now.
C．It still needs improvement. D．It is a hot topic on line.
25．（10分）Four Wild Animal Species Were Endangered
Maybe you can still see them at the zoo. But that doesn’t mean they’re doing alright in the wild.
Tigers
All six tiger species are endangered, with Sumatran tigers and South Chin tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats(栖息地), as humans clear forests to gather timber（木材）and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.
Ground squirrels
That’s right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human developments going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown , but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 413000.
Giraffes
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last
