My husband and I had been married nearly twenty-two years when I acquired Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a disorder where my immune system responded to a virus by producing painful blisters. Although my long-term evaluation was good, I, who had been so fiercely independent, rapidly became absolutely helpless.

My husband, Scott, stepped up to the plate, taking care of kids and cooking dinners. He also became my personal caretaker, applying the medicine to all of my blisters because my hands couldn’t do the job. Needless to say, I had negative emotions, bouncing from embarrassment to shame caused by total reliance on someone other than myself.

I recovered from my illness, but I couldn’t seem to recover from the thought that I loved my husband less than he loved me. This seeming distinction in our love continued to annoy me for the year following my illness.

Then recently Scott and I went on a long bike ride. He’s an experienced cyclist; I’m quite the green hand. At one point with a strong headwind and sharp pain building in my tired legs, I really thought I couldn’t go any fu rther. Seeing me struggle, Scott pulled in front of me and yelled over his shoulder, “Stay close behind me.” As I followed his steps, I discovered that my legs quit burning and I was able to catch my breath. My husband was pulling me along—again.

I pray my husband will always be strong and healthy. But if he should ever become the struggling one, whether on a bike ride or with an illness, I trust I’ll be ready to call out to him, “Stay close behind me—my turn to pull you along.”

A. She lost the previous independence

B. She failed to get the medical treatment

C. Her marriage was in a terrible state

D. She suffered from mental disorder

25. Which of the following best describes the author’s husband acco rding to Paragraph 2?

D. Aggressive.

A. followed her closely

B. backed her up all the way

C. gave in to her depression

D. stopped to take care of her leg

Everyone loves a hot shower, except maybe your skin and hair. As it turns out, hot water dries out skin and leaves hair dry and easily broken, Sejal Shah, MD(Doctor of Medicine) in New York City, told Women’s Health. And, if you dye(染) your hair, the color is likely to fade faster once the water gets steamy. To make matters worse, by making your skin lose natural oils, hot showers –above 99 degrees Fahrenheit –may bring about health problems. You may not like it, but the showers temperature that offers the greatest hair and skincare benefits is, well, cold.

Cold showers “strengthen the contractile fibers around pores(毛孔), muscles, and hairs which improves the firmness of skin”, says Carl Thornfeldt , MD with over 30 years of skin research experience. Though many people believe hot showers open and clear pores, it’s actually wiser to close them.” Closing pores helps keep pollution from getting into the skin, at least temporarily”.

The benefits of cold shower are numerous, but surely we can’t be expected to stand under cold water shivering, every day especially in winter –not to mention that too cold (below the body’s average temperature of 96.6 degrees Fahrenheit) is also bad. Fortunately, Dr. Thornfeldt recommends a happy medium. “The best solu tion is to take a warm, not too hot shower and then finish off with running cold water for the last few seconds to still gain the rewards of the cold water,” he says.

That doesn’t sound too unbearable. Considering the fact that our beloved, steamy showers may cause so much damage to skin and hair, it’s best to switch to slightly warm temperatures to avoid losing natural oils and drying out, especially in winter when indoor heat is already sucking moisture(水分) out of skin. So, when the main part of an extremely comfortable warm shower is completed, finish off with a cool splash. Your hair and skin will thank you!

28. Why does your hair dislike a hot shower?

A. It leads to hair loss.

B. It makes your hair fragile.

C. It makes your hair go grey.

D. It causes hair-related illness.

29. How do cold showers benefit skin?

A. They brighten skin color.

B. They drive dirt out of skin.

C. They make skin stronger.

D. They make pores nearly unseen.

30.What does the underlined word “shivering” probably mean?

A. shaking with cold.

B. trembling with fear.

C. recovering from pain.

D. fighting with courage.

31. What kind of water is advised to use for showers?

A. Completely cold water.

B. Water as warm as your body.

C. Warm water and cold water by turns.

D. Warm water mainly and cold water at the end.

D

Until recently, scientists believed memories were first stored in the hippocampus (海马体) then gradually “transferred” to the cortex (大脑皮层)for long-term storage However, a new study conducted by the Riken—MIT Center for Neural Circuit Genetics challenges this theory, suggesting that memories are stored in the hippocampus and Cortex at the same time, but remain “silent” in the cortex for about two weeks before reaching a mature state

Scientists have assumed that the engram(记忆印痕)cells in the cortex that store memory were produced slowly. “The cells actually develop rapidly,” said Takashi Kitamura, a lead author of the study.

The past theory that short-term memories in the hippocampus transfer to long-term memories in the cortex was developed in the 1970s, when a patient named Henry Molaison experienced a damaged hippocampus, and he lost his ability to make new memories.

Until recently, scientists lacked a reliable way to test memory consolidation (实变)theory, Kitamura explained. “Most previous studies of memory were based on analyzing how damage to certain brain areas affects

memory, “he said. In 2016, when Tonegawa Laboratory, a research lab at MIT, developed a way to label engram cells, opening the door to new ways to test memory consolidation theory.

Researchers used some mice during the experiment. A day after the mice received an electric shock; its memories of the fear-causing event were stored in engram cells in both the hippocampus and the cortex. The engram cells in the cortex, however, remained silent. These cells did slight behavior when artificially awakened by light. Furthermore, when the connection between the hippocampus and cortex was blocked, long-term memory was unable to mature.

Researchers discovered that memory engram cells naturally change their status from active to silent and from silent to active. “ If we identify the principles behind how silent memory can be active, we may find a treatment for amnesia(失忆症), ” Kitamura said.

32. In which aspect did the new study get a breakthrough?

A. The effect that our memories have on people.

B. The meaning of the storage of memories.

C. The place where our memories form

D. The order of the storage of memories.

33. What contribution did researchers in Tonegawa Laboratory make?

A . They found a new way to test memory consolidation theory.

B. They discovered the connection between hippocampus and cortex.

C. They analyzed how damage to certain brain areas affects memory.

D . They discovered the way to awaken the engram cells in the cortex.

34. What can be inferred from the text?

A. The theory of the new study has been accepted by scientists

B . The previous theory has nothing to do with the new study.

C. Amnesia won’t be an awful illness for patients in the future.

D. Scientists need more research to figure out the memory storage.

35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Arguments about How Memories are Stored

B . New Findings of the Way to Treat Amnesia

C. -New Study Challenges Assumptions about Memory Storage

D. Achievements of the Development of Engram Cells in the Cortex

Each year thousands of Chinese tourists visit Cambridge, not to see the beauty of a great university, but to pay homage(敬意) to a poem—Xu Zhimo’s Farewell to Cambridge. 36 As one of the most famous romantic poets of Chinese literature, he is known for his promotion and contributions to modern Chinese poetry.

To honor him, in July 2008, a stone of white marble was set up at the Backs of King's College, Cambridge (near the bridge over the River Cam). 37 It records the poet’s feelings of sorrows at departing from Cambridge where he had studied between 1920 and 1922. 38 He was also influenced by French romantic and symbolist poets at that time. The poem is his signature work, most frequently recited at shows. He was one of the first Chinese writers to successfully naturalize Western romantic forms into modern Chinese poetry.

39 It is a good embodiment(典型) of his life-long devotion to explore poetic qualities—poetic licence(诗的破格), creation and beauty. He creates a beautiful poetic imagery just like the fresh bridge, rainbow and cloud. In such imagery, poem can tell about its own aesthetic(美学的) feelings. 40

A. Xu Zhimo got the honor in Cambridge.

B. The beauty of this poem impressed the readers.

C. Xu Zhimo was an early 20th century Chinese poet.

D. It was at Cambridge that he fell in love with English romantic poetry.

E. On it are written the first two and last two lines from this poem.

F. The poem possesses true feelings, fresh language and elegant style.

G. Music and color can appeal to the imagery by use of the two senses, ear and mind.

Dear Smith,

I am more than thrilled to know that you are coming to my city during the Dragon Boat Festival. However, I am ex ceedingly sorry that I can’t meet you at the airport for the following reasons.

I am planning to take part in a High School Student Robot Competition to be held in another city during the time of your visit. Many top scientists in the field will show up. More importantly, I am lucky enough to have been selected to deliver a speech on behalf of my school at the opening ceremony. I hope you can understand my situation and accept my apologies.

To guarantee you a pleasant journey, I have asked my roommate to meet you at the airport and you can stay in

my room. He is a very nice person and will keep you company during the festival! At the same time, you will taste the traditional Chinese food — sweet rice dumplings and enjoy the Dragon-boat Race. I am sure you will have a good time.
