21、Health officials in the United States reported last week on what they believe could be a medical first.
Officials said doctors performed what could be the first double lung transplant on a person whose lungs were severely damaged from vaping（吸电子烟）. The operation reportedly saved the life of a teenager from the state of Michigan.
The young man was admitted in early September to a Detroit-area hospital with what appeared to be pneumonia （肺炎）, a common lung infection. The teen was later sent to Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit. On October 3, he was transported to Henry Ford Hospital, where the transplant was performed 12 days later.
Hassan Nemch, a surgical doctor at Henry Ford Hospital, told The Associated Press that the damage done to the teenager's lungs from vaping could not be undone. He warned parents to think about that and to tell their children to do so as well.
A statement written by the teen's family said, "We asked Henry Ford doctors to share that the horrific life-threatening effects of vaping are very real".
More than 2, 000 Americans who vape have gotten sick since March. Many of them are teenagers and young adults. At least 40 people have died.
Recently, the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a discovery into what might be causing people who vape to become sick. They identified the chemical compound vitamin E acetate（醋酸盐）as "a very strong culprit".
Researchers found the chemical compound in fluid taken from the lungs of 29 patients. In other studies, Vitamin E acetate was found in liquid from electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices.
Dr. Lisa is a lung specialist and medical director of Henry Ford's Lung Transplant Program. She told The AP, "Vaping-related injuries are all too common these days. Our adolescents are faced with a crisis. "Hassan Nemeh added, "We hope sharing this patient's story prevents anyone else from experiencing a vaping injury that would require a transplant. "

23、Many years ago when I first started to play tennis I was so crazy about the sport that I traveled to all four of the major grand slams–Wimbledon, the French Open, the Australian Open and the U.S.Open in New York City.I was so very impressed with the great champion Arthur Ashe and so admired him, not only as the number one tennis player in the world for a time but just as much for how dedicated he was to improving the lives of everyone, especially the unfortunate of the world. To me, he was an incredible double champion!
I will never forget, as long as I live, that night when the last match at the U.S.Open in New York finished very late. As I walked out of the stadium to catch a cab, I was surprised to see there were only a few cabs left and tons of people heading toward them. So being quite young I sprinted to try to catch one. I barely made it to the last taxi, but as I opened the back door and jumped in, someone else was doing the same thing on the other side. As both doors slammed shut I looked over to see none other than Arthur Ashe as my seat mate! We quickly agreed to share the ride since we were both heading for mid-town Manhattan. On the ride there I picked his brains to get all the tennis and life coaching I could possible pull out of him in that 45 minutes’ ride.
What a great experience that had been and what a great man he was. He was so much more than a world champion tennis player. From a young age growing up in a segregated(种族隔离的)society, he set about to help change the world by helping people and thus making the world a better place for all of us.
When we are young, most of us are pretty self-centered and almost everything we do is directed at just helping ourselves. But as we grow older and a little wiser, we see that helping others is not only very satisfying but it can make the world a better place for everyone for many years to come.
【1】What did the author mean by saying Arthur Ashe was a double champion?
A．He won two championships as a tennis player.
B．He helped promote the tennis sport in the world.
C．He helped many people apart from his achievements in sports.
D．He was a successful political leader as well as a tennis player.
【2】What do we learn from the ride-sharing experience?
A．They didn’t talk much during the ride.
B．They agreed to do more for young people.
C．The author learned many life lessons.
D．Arthur Ashe gave some gifts to the author.
【3】What did the author want to tell us in the story?
A．Two heads are better than one.
B．Action speaks louder than words.
C．One good turn deserves another.
D．Selflessness is a mark of an honorable man.
24、Nowadays many people are concerned about the problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions, computers, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment.
Electronic trash, or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.
National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans product is not unexpected.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills (垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore says, “There are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill.”
Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep e-waste poisons like lead (铅) and mercury (汞) out of garbage dumps.
This year several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted bans on e-waste in landfills. Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.
“We can do much better,” noted Miller. “I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers.”
【1】Which of the following does NOT belong to e-waste?
A. Old televisions. B. Old computers.
C. Old cell phones. D. Old newspapers.
【2】Why is e-waste banned from landfills in many states?
A. Because it can not be recycled.
B. Because the landfills are already full.
C. Because it might damage the environment.
D. Because it can be shipped to other countries.
【3】According to Mike Fannon, what might be the best way of dealing with e-waste?
A. Recycling it. B. Selling it.
C. Burying it. D. Breaking it.
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A. Chaz Miller works for EPA.
B. Miller is optimistic about the future of e-waste.
C. At present, less than 10 percent of e-waste is recycled.
D. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills.

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。
This Old Chair
“Mom! I’m home!” John slammed the door and dropped his books on a nearby chair.
“Hi, John, home already?” His mom turned around, “Spring is coming, and I am doing our annual spring cleaning. Come and help me, okay?”
“Okay, okay,” John agreed reluctantly.
They cleaned upstairs, downstairs, inside, outside, until everything was spotless. Exhausted, they sank into the couch. Wearily pointing to Pop-Pop’s chair, which was faded and worn, John’s mom exclaimed, “Oh my! That old chair has got to go. We’ll buy Pop-Pop a new one. Let’s take the chair to the curb (马路边缘). Tomorrow the garbage truck is picking up on our block.”
As they attempted to move the chair, Pop-Pop, John’s grandpa, who lived with them since Grandma had died, worked his way through the door. Seeing what was happening, he quickly blocked their way. “Oh, no!” he protested. “You can’t take my chair.”
“It’s old. . . It’s worn. . . . ” John’s mom argued, a slight edge to her voice.
“No,” Pop-Pop persisted, trying to push his chair back into place.
“But Pop, we’ll buy you a new one,” John’s mom tried to persuade the old man.
“I don’t want a new one,” Pop-Pop’s voice trembled.
“I give up.” John’s mom let go of the chair. “We’ll discuss it tonight when Matt gets home.”Matt, John’s dad, was still at work. With a sigh of relief, the old man sank into his chair and closed his eyes.
“Pop-Pop, why won’t you let us get rid of the chair?” John asked when his mother left the room. “It’s so old.”
“You don’t understand, John.” Pop-Pop shook his head and said, “I sat in this chair, with your grandma right here, when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago, but when I sit in this chair and close my eyes I feel she is near.” The old man tenderly stroked the arm of the chair.
It’s amazing, John thought, how Pop-Pop can remember things from the past. In the present, he forgets almost everything. John sat down on the floor by Pop-Pop’s feet and listened as the old man went on.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

That night, however, John’s parents carried the chair out to the curb.
