26、 The different parts of a health-care system have different focuses. A hospital’s stroke unit monitors blood flow in the brain. The cardiac (心脏的) unit is interested in that same flow, but through and from the heart. The data is effective in its own field, but for the most part has little relevance to other bits of the body and conditions.
Apart from all this, the instruments that doctors use to monitor health are often expensive, as is the training required to operate them. That combined cost is too high for the medical system to scan regularly, for early signs of illness.
A research project called AlzEye, run from Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, may change this. It is attempting to use the eye as a window through which to detect signals about the health of other organs. The doctors in charge of it, Siegfried Wagner and Pearse Keane, are linking Moorfields’ database of eye scans, which offer a detailed picture of the health of the retina (视网膜), with information about other aspects of its patients’ health collected from other hospitals around England.
The data set includes every one of the 300,000 patients who visited Moorfields between 2008 and 2018 and was over the age of 40. The idea is to examine changes to people’s eyes within that ten-year period, and link these with, say, the appearance of Alzheimer’s disease in the same patient.
Drs Wagner and Keane are searching for patterns in the eye that betray the appearance of disease elsewhere in the body, and are focusing first on Alzheimer’s disease. They will seek such patterns with the help of algorithms (程序) that can spot far tinier variations. They may, it should be remembered, never find such patterns. Although there is evidence that the back of the eye does change as its owner develops Alzheimer’s, it may be that the changes are too small to be detected reliably enough for diagnosis (诊断). If such patterns could be recognized reliably, though, the potential impact would be huge. Even in rich countries, between 50% and 80% of Alzheimer’s cases go undiagnosed. Moreover, even if the technique does not work for Alzheimer’s, it might work for something else. Dr Wagner and Dr Keane therefore plan further searches for patterns related to strokes and heart disease. Even one relevant pattern would contain a remarkable diagnostic leap forward.
If it does work, the technique the two researchers are recommending will be cheap to carry out. An indication of how cheap is the project’s total budget of just £15,000. Also, the equipment and algorithms to perform an eye scan are available to anyone, through cloud-computing services like Google and Amazon.
【1】What is the disadvantage of the traditional way to monitor health?
A.Doctors are only interested in their own fields.
B.It can’t find early signs of illness effectively.
C.It can’t offer all-around health information.
D.Hospitals can’t afford the equipment and training.
【2】Drs Wagner and Keane use eye scans to _______.

B.compare Moorfields’ database with other hospitals’
C.find the connections between eye changes and disease
D.explore the use of algorithms in detecting Alzheimer’s
【3】The underlined word “betray” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _______.
A.change B.show
C.cause D.prevent
【4】What do we learn about the AlzEye project?
A.It examines the lifelong changes to 300,000 patients’ eyes.
B.It can correctly diagnose Alzheimer’s cases by scanning eyes.
C.It may be applied in finding other diseases besides Alzheimer’s.
D.It provides cloud-computing services with Google and Amazon.
27、 Readers who long imagined themselves in Harry Potter’s world have a chance to absorb themselves in another fictional universe created by J.K. Rowling. The author said that she would release (发布) The Ickabog, a new story for young readers, for free online.
The first chapter of the fairy tale about a monster known as the Ickabog was published on May 26, and further chapters will be released every week until July 10. It is targeted to readers aged 7 to 9 and will be published as a book in November. The story concerns rumors (谣言) of a fierce child-eating monster with extraordinary powers which lives in the northern tip of an imaginary land known as Cornucopia.
Rowling said she had started working on the book more than a decade ago, while she was still writing Harry Potter, and originally intended to publish it after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the last of her seven-book Potter series. But she ended up keeping The Ickabog, which isn’t related to Harry Potter or any of Rowling’s other work, in her family, reading it to her young children and then putting it away until recently. “I’ve decided to publish The Ickabog for free online, so children on lockdown, or even those back at school during these strange, unsettling times, can read it or have it read to them,” Rowling said. Rowling said she would donate her royalties (版税) for the book to causes related to the coronavirus (冠状病毒) diseases.
Readers will have a chance to participate in the process. Rowling’s publishers around the world will hold an illustration (插图) competition, encouraging children to submit (提交) drawings to accompany the story. The best submissions will end up in the book’s final edition when it is published in the fall.
Rowling’s children, now teenagers, are “touchingly ecstatic” about the publication of their childhood bedtime story, Rowling wrote on her site. She started reading chapters to them again recently, which she said was “one of the most extraordinary experiences of my writing life. ”
【1】It will take at least ______ for readers to finish reading The Ickabog online.
A.a week B.one month and a half C.three months D.six months
【2】What do you know about the The Ickabog?
A.It is the name of an imaginary island. B.It sees teenagers as targeted readers.
C.It is a continuation of the Potter series. D.It was completed a long time ago.
【3】Why does J. K. Rowling release the book free online?
A.To collect money for coronavirus research.
B.To involve readers in the illustration competition.
C.To entertain children over the COVID-19 period.
D.To appeal to Harry Potter lovers.
【4】What does the underlined word “ecstatic” probably mean?
A.Disappointed. B.Worried. C.Nervous. D.Excited.
28、Friday night, I was struggling to choose a good movie to watch. I spent 20 minutes looking through hundreds of choices at Amazon Video and still couldn’t decide. In the back of my mind, I was thinking that I had to choose a great movie to watch, because if didn’t I would be wasting my time. I thought that instead of watching a bad movie, I would be better off using my time in a more meaningful way (I see this as an opportunity cost). After seeing the reviews and asking around for suggestions, ended up watching LaLa Land, a popular movie that most of my friends have seen recently.
The next day, I went to Duane Reade to buy toothpaste and was overwhelmed again by the large quantity of the choice. I started wondering if more choices empower consumers or just make them think they are empowered, when in reality they are just at a loss.
From finding a good restaurant to searching for your life partner, everything is all about choices; big or small, they are all related. Take dating life in New York for example. There are an endless range of choices which can lead to many New Yorkers finding it hard to make a decision. It is a big city with a lot of lonely “I could do better” people that are constantly searching for the next best one.
It doesn’t contradict with providing people choices and information to empower them, as there is difference between having a reasonable number of choices and an overwhelming amount. When we are overwhelmed with the number of choices we have, we end up less satisfied with the choice we make. You might calculate the opportunity cost and think about “what if”.
I’ve started to realize that living a life with simplicity can sometimes be a challenge, but it is certainly worth it.
【1】Why did the writer find it hard to choose a movie to watch?
A．He thought watching a bad movie wasn’t meaningful.
B．He didn’t know which movies were popular among his friends.
C．He found it challenging to choose from so many choices
D．He believed it a waste of time to look through hundreds of choices.
【2】What can be inferred from the text?
A．Living a simple life is always challenging.
B．More choices may lead to dissatisfaction with our decision.
C．New Yorkers tend to be discontented their dating partner.
D．Opportunity cost is what we should consider when making a decision.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the endless choices presented to him?
A．Positive.
B．Neutral.
C．Unconcerned.
D．Negative
【4】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．Less is Better
B．Make Your Choice Goad
C．More Choices, More Opportunities
D．Simple is Better, Less is More
29、The job description of a postman doesn’t always include travelling through thick forests, fast-flowing waters and occasionally being run after by wild animals, but for D. Sivan, that is exactly what it is.
Every day for 30 years, this humble postman has been delivering post to some of the most remote villages in Coonoor which are inaccessible by road. Carrying the mail, he walks along the Nilgiri Mountain Railway track, walking through thick forests, crossing slippery streams and walking on railway bridges. Having travelled through the difficult path for 30 years, Mr. Sivan has grown fond of the wild animals he encounters on his daily walks, going so far as to say that they’ve all become his friends. But even his friends have occasionally caused him some trouble, with an elephant once having run after him. He was saved by a truck driver who spotted him and honked at the elephant. The animals recognize him now, though.
As the years rolled by, emails started replacing letter writing. And as more and more people moved from the Nilgiri hills to the plains-the towns of Mettupalayam and Coimbatore, Sivan’s bag became lighter and lighter every day. Many weeks he ended up carrying just 3-4 letter to each village.
One day Sivan noticed that a man to whom he was supposed to deliver his pension had moved to Coimbatore. The man had fallen very sick and was hospitalized. Sivan tracked down the hospital, travelled 80 kms by bus and later car, and delivered the pension. The kind postman even paid for the whole trip himself!
Not all heroes wear a cape(披风);some have white hair and carry a simple bag full of letters. Not all heroes write cool stories on Instagram; some just sit outside a door and read out a son’s letter to his mother.
【1】Which of the following best describes Sivan’s daily delivery journey?
A．Awkward.
B．Comfortable.
C．Adventurous.
D．Uneventful.
【2】What do the underlined words “his friends” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Postmen.
B．Truck drivers.
C．Wild animals.
D．Villagers in Coonoor.
【3】Why did Sivan travel to Coimbatore?
A．To send a pension check.
B．To enjoy a trip to the plains.
C．To get hospital treatment.
D．To draw his pension.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Letters or emails
B．The world’s busiest postman
C．The postal service in Coonoor
D．Capeless hero with a bag
