26、 Kristen Sorensen was 55 when she became paralyzed from the neck down. Diagnosed in October 2018 with a rare disorder that affects the body's nervous system, she never expected to walk again.
But earlier that year, the Brooks Treatment Center in Florida became the first center to use a unique technology developed in Japan --- the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL). HAL, essentially a wearable machine, helps those with spinal cord (脊髓的)injuries and muscular diseases regain their movements and strengthen their nerves and muscles. Known as exoskeletons, they're a type of lightweight suit, with joints powered by small electric motors, that serve as mechanical muscle. Patients use their brain waves to control them.
When Sorensen heard about the brain wave-controlled exoskeleton, she knew she had to place an order and give it a try. A trained nurse helped her fit HAL over her waist and trousers, connecting her to sensors that help pick up faint bio-electric signals on the surface of the skin, which communicate a patient's intention to move. Once HAL receives these signals, it helps support the person's movements.
After some training and efforts, Sorensen was able to walk at her daughter's wedding a few months later in December. It's a thought that Sorensen shares. "When I used HAL, there were people who came from all over the country to use the equipment," she says. "I would like this kind of technology to be more readily available and more accessible especially to those who learn slowly."
But it's not just those with disabilities or injuries who stand to benefit. By 2050, there will be more than 2 billion people over age 60, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), and exoskeletons could offer a solution to the world's aging population.
In the future, as human bodies wear down with age, an exoskeleton - powered by active minds - could help people stay on their feet. With such huge potential applications available, the global medical exoskeleton market will be worth an estimated $2.8 billion by 2023, according to a research company.
【1】What do we know about Kristen?

A.②①④⑤③ B.①②③④⑤ C.②①③④⑤ D.①②④⑤③
【4】We can conclude from the passage that .
A.HAL can now be used with no difficulty
B.HAL may have a large potential market
C.HAL has been widely used in the world
D.HAL can only help people with disabilities
27、 In a nation of schools typically named with sensible acronyms (首字母缩写词) or after the names of dead Frenchmen, 63 seems a strange title for an institution of higher learning. But then, Xavier Niel's new technology academy hardly aims to be conventional.
Niel, a friendly telecommunications manager with several billion euros to his name, set up the Paris campus this year to provide programming classes.
Its very name is something mysterious: In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the science-fiction novel by Douglas Adams, the number 63 is the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything.
There are no lectures—the college achieves its teaching goals by combining an extreme form of “student-to- student learning” with project-based learning. Students can only find “friendly organizers" wearing T-shirts instead of lecturers. No degree will be awarded, nor must incoming students, ages 18 to 30, be high school graduates. 63 is tuition-free and has sought to attract students from the country’s poorest neighborhoods.
The school breaks with the conventional methods, and Niel believes it will produce graduates who are more creative, more employable, more diverse and more useful to the weak French economy as a result.
There were 20,000 applicants this year to enter 63. In the end, just 900 were admitted to the three- year program.
The school will teach problem-solving, its creators say. Some educators call this unworkable. To provide students with “recipes” is hardly enough, said Pierre Baylet, an administrator at the Institute Mines Telecom, a telecommunications school. “You have to teach them to cook!” Baylet told the education magazine I' Etudiant.
Still, some public officials have welcomed it, especially those who are concerned with the state of the economy.
Similar methods are used by other private universities, including Epitech, the programming college formerly led by Nicolas Sadirac (63's director) and generally considered France's best. But annual tuition there and at similar institutions runs into several thousand euros.
Corentin Denos, 18, said he would need to find a “suitcase full of money” to afford that. He scored high, survived the month long camp in Paris and was admitted by 63. The academy might strike some as “a bit strange”, Denos said. “It fits me perfectly.”
【1】What do we learn about the name 63?
A.It honors a dead Frenchman. B.It was given by Douglas Adams.
C.It is from a traditional university. D.It comes from a number in a novel.
【2】Which of the following is an unusual feature of 63?
A.It is run by public officials. B.It has no teachers.
C.It gives students no assignments. D.It is hugely expensive.
【3】How did Pierre Baylet seem to look at 63?
A.It was creative. B.It forgot to teach cooking skills.
C.It wouldn't succeed. D.It shouldn't offer students recipes.
【4】What did Corentin Denos say about colleges like Epitech?
A.He considered their tuition fees too high. B.He didn't like their teaching methods.
C.He dreamed of going to such colleges. D.He thought they were a bit strange.
28、 Too often a learner of English who has read one or two classics tries to imitate(模仿) their style. The fact, however, is that style cannot be imitated. Different authors have different styles. They do not try to write the way they write. So the imitation of any style often results in affectation(矫揉造作).
And the result will be till worse if the style imitated is that of a work written a hundred years ago or more. We are of the 21st century, and we should not write the English of the last century.
I would advise you not to aim at a special style. Take care to write correct, simple, idiomatic, and clear English, that’s all.
But imitation is not always bad. Very often it is important to imitate something. Where personal style is out of place, imitation is the only means by which correctness may be secured. In writing an advertisement about something, for example, you have to imitate some such advertisement that you have read. You cannot possibly write a good one if you have never read any, though you may have read very widely in general literature.
You will do well to collect a number of short advertisements, formal invitations, announcements, and business contracts, etc. When you have occasion to write one of such, you have simply to do a little imitating and adapting. The following is an ordinary formal invitation:
Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Adams request the pleasure of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Williams’s company at dinner on Saturday evening, May the seventeenth, at seven o’clock, 86 Star Street.
This invitation is from Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Adams to Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Williams. Surely, with this piece before you, you can write a new one. You have simply to change the names, the day, the date, the time, and the address.
【1】Why is it especially wrong to imitate the style centuries ago?
A.Because the language is out of date.
B.Because the writers have passed away.
C.Because the style is difficult to follow.
D.Because the contents are behind the times.
【2】What’s the author’s attitude towards imitation?
A.English learners should never imitate others’ writing style.
B.Imitation is the first step for English learners to write articles.
C.English learners should imitate formal writing styles like advertisements.
D.It is always correct for learners to imitate the classic writing styles.
【3】What does the writer most probably do?
A.He is a professor in university. B.He is an English teacher.
C.He is an English novelist. D.He is a classic translator.
29、A new study on the link between chili and dementia(老年痴呆) may bring bad news for spicy food addicts. Researchers have found that eating lots of chili may cause an increased risk of dementia.
The study, led by Zumin Shi, analyzed 4,582 Chinese adults aged 55 and above between 1991 and 2006 and found evidence of faster cognitive decline in those who consistently ate more than 50 grams of chili a day. “Chili consumption was found to be beneficial to body weight and blood pressure in our previous studies. However, in this study, we found negative effects on cognition among older adults,” Shi said in a press release published Tuesday.
“Chili is one of the most commonly used spices in the world and particularly popular in Asia compared to European countries,” Ming Li from the University of Southern Australia said in the press release. “In certain regions of China, such as Sichuan and Hunan, almost one in three adults consumes spicy food every day.”
The researchers said people of normal body weight may be more sensitive to chili intake and hence their memory and weight suffer a bigger impact. Worldwide, around 50 million people have dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form that may contribute to 60 percent to 70 percent of the cases, according to the World Health Organization. At present, no treatment can cure dementia or change its progressive course.
【1】According to the text, what aspect is chili consumption harmful to?
A．Body shape.
B．Body weight
C．Blood pressure.
D．Cognitive abilities.
【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The planting of chili.
B．The popularity of chili.
C．The bad effects of chili
D．The custom of eating chili.
【3】Who are most likely to suffer from eating lots of chili?
A．Overweight seniors.
B．Overweight teenagers.
C．Seniors of normal body weight
D．Teenagers of normal body weight
【4】What do we know about dementia?
A．It is incurable.
B．It affects people’s weight.
C．It determines blood types.
D．It can be cured by eating chili.

Water is a precious resource. Every person needs it【5】 (survive),and we use it for cooking, drinking, growing our food and washing. However，it is scarce(缺乏的).Just 1% of water on Earth can【6】 (use)by humans. What’s more，treating water to make it clean and safe and pumping it to our homes uses up lots of energy. So, what can you do to help save water? One easy way is by【7】(turn)off the tap when you brush your teeth.

Robbie Phillips has become the first British person to complete one of the toughest challenges in rock climbing. 【8】(know)as the Alpine Trilogy(阿尔卑斯三部曲),the challenge consists of three climbs on mountains in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, 【9】Phillips completed in four years. Until now, only four other people【10】(conquer)all three of the extremely difficult climbs.

36、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Everyone has their own unique fingerprint; 【1】 makes fingerprints an ideal way to unlock smartphones. However, this may be 【2】 (safe) than we think.
Scientists at New York University and Michigan State University in the US have developed a set of fake fingerprints. They say that the prints 【3】 unlock any fingerprint-enabled smartphone up to 65 percent of the time.
The artificial fingerprints 【4】 (create) by using many common features found in human prints. They work 【5】 taking advantage of the way smartphone scanners check a fingerprint.
The fingerprint scanners 【6】 (use) in smartphones are so small that they only read parts of fingerprints. So they have to take many scans of your finger or thumb (拇指) 【7】 they work properly. Smartphones also let users save several finger and thumbprints. Since a print only has to match one of the saved images 【8】 (unlock) the phone, the scanner is more likely to make mistakes.

37、
Rapidly advancing technology and its impact on education has been a subject of debate. How can schools equip students with the skills they need to succeed in a challenging job market?
Since technology is driving these changes, there is a theory that governments should keep focusing on STEM subjects. These are often referred to as “hard skills,” which are 【1】 in primary school and right through to university level. In the meantime, ‘soft skills’ are being 【2】.
This is a mistake. Much evidence suggests that soft skills are far more 【3】 to graduates in the long term. Research from Harvard University on the global job market has shown that STEM- related careers grew strongly between 1989 and 2000 but have slowed down since. In contrast, jobs in the creative industries----the sector probably most 【4】 with the need for soft skills---are growing rapidly. Soft skills are, in fact, increasingly in demand in the workplace: Google cites creativity, leadership 【5】 and communication skills as top requirements for both potential and current employees.
So why are soft skills so highly 【6】 for?
With the rapid evolution of technology, a focus on hard skills leaves students 【7】 to change, as these often have a short shelf life. According to research by World Economic Forum, more than one in four adults reports a mismatch between their skills and those needed for their job role. If soft skills are taught well, these skills should enable students to adapt to change more easily and progress further in their 【8】 career.
Of course, technical skills are important. But without the curriculum placing equal--- if not greater --- 【9】 on soft skills, our education systems are missing a huge trick. Hard skills may help a student get a job in a particular industry, but soft skills will help them disrupt it, achieving a wider 【10】 in their chosen field.
38、阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
A friend of mine whose name was John Smith had a bad memory, which made him famous. He was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to constantly( 经常地）remind him about his meetings, his classes, even his meals! Once he forgot he had eaten breakfast twice, at home and at school. His wife liked to remind her neighbors, “If John didn’t have his head tied on, he would forget that too!” Since Smith was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment to him. It wasn’t that he was not clever, as some critical people tended to say, but just very, very absent-minded.
