22、A small implant connected to electrodes (电极) inserted into the skull bone (颅骨) is providing huge relief to younger patients living with Parkinson’s disease, such that it could allow sufferers to pick up fine motor skills like playing golf again.
While it isn’t a cure, the implant is a treatment that makes living with Parkinson’s ten times more bearable. “Before the operation I went for a walk on Boxing Day with my wife and I got 182m from the actual car,” Tony Howells, who received this implant in 2019, said. “Then after the operation, which was 12 months later, I went on Boxing Day again and we went as far as 4km and could have gone further. It was amazing,” he added.
25 patients like Howells have been selected to participate in the trial at Southmead Hospital in Bristol, England, which wil1 conclude next year. Most of them are older than 50, but those who may be old enough to begin losing memories are too old for the operation.
The operation involves inserting the tiny battery within the skull bone and running electrodes down into the center of the brain in the subthalamic nuclei (底丘脑核). It then delivers delicate electrical impulses (脉冲) to help stimulate nerve cells to work correctly, thereby restoring some of the normal muscular function which Parkinson’s disturbs.
Previous implanting operations involved batteries implanted into a patient’s chest. This new method takes just three hours, and could be available for as many as 10% of all Parkinson’s patients.
“You can’t understand how upsetting Parkinson’s is until it happens to you. Just doing your shoelaces up is a major operation... it affects your everyday life no end,” said Howells, who is even able to play fine-tuned sports-including golf-again.
【1】Why does the author mention Tony Howells in Paragraph 2?
A．To explain the harm of Parkinson’s disease.
B．To share the tips on sports to Parkinson’s patients.
C．To highlight the effectiveness of the implanting operation.
D．To introduce the application of the implanting operation.
【2】What does “It ” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The operation.
B．The battery.
C．The skull bone.
D．The brain.
【3】In what aspect does the new implant operation differ from the previous ones?
A．The position of the implanting battery.
B．The age of Parkinson’s patients.
C．The material of the implant.
D．The influence on the brain.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．A Cure to Parkinson’s Disease
B．The Recovery of a Parkinson’s Patient
C．A Brain Operation Stops the Loss of Memory
D．The Mini Implant Relieves Parkinson’s Symptoms
23、The world can be a scary place when you’re young. It can be even scarier when you’re a young little blue penguin（企鹅），the world’s smallest penguin.
Luckily, there are some humans willing to help, who stepped in to protect Billy, a blue penguin that appeared on a beach in Christchurch, New Zealand. Spotted on Nov. 29 at Moncks Bay, in Christchurch, the little penguin immediately attracted a small crowd. Jeff Mein Smith saw the crowd while he was bicycling that afternoon, and he hiked home to get his camera. When he returned to the scene, he found that the penguin had received a little sign，reading “Hi,I’m waiting for my mum to come back. DOC （New Zealand’s Department of Conservation） knows I’m here. Please leave me alone. Keep your dog away. Thanks, Billy the baby blue penguin. ’’
Billy, perhaps able to read somehow, or just pleased by all the attention, didn’t wander far from the sign, and some people had set up “a little penguin protection team” to keep the penguin safe, Mein Smith said.
Little blue penguins are primarily found in New Zealand and the southern coast of Australia. The DOC arrived later that afternoon to pick up Billy. “It's unusual for a blue penguin to be out in the open on the beach during the day. Normally they are at sea or in burrows（洞穴）during the day，” Anita Spencer, a DOC official said. “The bird is a female penguin，is around 2 months old and is underweight for its age. It weighs a mere 550grams, less than a standard basketball. A blue penguin should weigh around 900 gram this age. Most little penguins grow up to weigh 1 kilogram，” she added.
Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being taken from the beach. The center will help the little penguin gain some weight before it allowed to return to the ocean.
【1】As for the little penguin in Paragraph 1，how does the author feel?
A．Curious.
B．Crazy.
C．Sympathetic.
D．Satisfied.
【2】What did the locals mentioned in the text do to Billy?
A．They took photos of it.
B．They kept away from it.
C．They offered to protect it.
D．They hiked it to the beach.
【3】What do we know about Billy?
A．It was abandoned by its mum.
B．It was found on a beach in the morning.
C．It will be kept in DOC before it goes home.
D．It seldom went to the beach in daytime.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Leaving Me Alone
B．Waiting for My Mum
C．Keeping the Little Penguin
D．Protecting the Little Penguin
24、Tu Youyou, the 85-year-old Chinese pharmacologist（药理学家），received the Nobel Prize for medicine in Stockholm on December 10,2015. Tu is the first Chinese Nobel winner in physiology（生理学）or medicine. Also, in 2011, she became the first Chinese person to receive the US-based Lasker Award for clinical medicine.
Based on a fourth-century Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) text, together with her team, she managed to get artemisinin(青蒿素）from sweet wormwood through trial and error and developed an important drug that has significantly reduced death rates among patients suffering from malaria. Tu delivered a speech titled Artemisinin is a Gift from TCM to the World. She has urged more research into the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine and called for joint efforts worldwide to fight against malaria and develop more potential uses for TCM, which she called a "great treasure" with thousands of years' history and empirical knowledge. She said that by combining TCM with modem scientific technologies, "more potential can be discovered in searching for new drugs " .
According to the WHO, more than 240 million people in sub-Saharan Africa have benefited from artemisinin, and more than l. 5 million lives are estimated to have been saved since 2000 thanks to the drug. Apart from its contribution to the global fight against malaria, TCM played a vital role in the deadly outbreak of SARS across China in 2003.
Besides treating viruses, TCM has been most effective in diagnosing diseases, cultivating fitness, treating difficult multisource illnesses, and using nonmedical methods such as acupuncture (钟刺疗法) and breathing exercises.
However, TCM, which is based on a set of beliefs about human biology, is seldom understood or accepted by the West. Tu's success will bring more recognition and respect for TCM, experts say. The Western world should learn to appreciate the value of the treasures of TCM, which will lead to more basic scientific research into ancient TCM texts and ways to explore research findings worldwide.
【1】In this passage the author mentions _ prize( s) that Tu Youyou received.
A. one B. two C. three D. four
【2】The underlined word "malaria" in Paragraph 2 refers to "a kind of ".
A. medicine B. animal. C. plant D. disease
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A. This success may encourage Easterners to learn more about Chinese medicine.
B. Nothing remains to be done in researching into TCM theories and texts.
C. More research into the value of TCM should be carried out worldwide.
D. TCM only contributes to the fight against malaria and SARS in China.
【4】What's the passage mainly about?
A. TCM is based on thousands of years of practice in China.
B. Nobel winner, Tu Youyou, strongly supports TCM research.
C. Artemisinin is now widely used to fight against Malaria.
D. Westerners will appreciate the value of the treasures of TCM.

26、阅读下面材料, 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。
It all began when my younger brother, Chris, and I went over to Uncle Howard’s for Thanksgiving. When we finally got to my uncle’s, Chris and I went outside to see if Uncle Howard needed help with anything. Since Chris was only nine, he got the easier job of cleaning up the watering cans. I was twelve, old enough to help load the wheelbarrow (手推车). But we still found time to ask Uncle Howard a lot of questions about turkeys. He must have been impressed, because when we were finished, he winked at my dad and handed me one turkey egg.
“You kids put this under a hatching hen,” he said, “and in twenty-five days, you’ll have a fine turkey!” Chris was so excited that he nearly dropped the egg on the way home. Dad put the egg under an old hen, and every day Chris and I would check to see if it had hatched yet. Twenty-five days seemed like forever. Finally, on the twenty-sixth day, Chris and I walked into the coop (鸡舍) after school to find the old hen scratching on the floor. Behind her was one ball of fluff (绒毛), falling over its feet and looking sort of confusion. When it got older, we could tell that it was a tom. We named it Timothy.
Timothy grew and grew, dashing towards the feed we threw out. He liked to wander in the woods and find tasty berries and weed seeds. Mom kept telling us not to get too attached to Timothy, because we were going to have him for Thanksgiving. But we never paid too much attention to what that really meant.
Then, one day toward the end of October, Dad gave Chris and me instructions. “I want you to start giving him com (玉米) along with his regular feed,” he said. “We want a nice, thick-fleshed bird for Thanksgiving.” After Dad turned and walked away, Chris's face began to wrinkle, just as it does before he starts to cry.
注意：
1．续写词数为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I comforted Chris, saying we could hide Timothy where people couldn't find him.
