22、I was truly delighted by the beauty that I enjoyed when I came to this country. My journey started when I was in my senior year at the University of Ottawa. As a health science major, I’d always planned on just applying to medical schools and continuing my studies in some fashion or another country.
After four years of intense studies, something just didn’t feel right. I felt a strong urge to make a change. It was 2008. I began searching for alternatives to what most university graduates see as their two options: enter the workforce, or continue studying.
But I knew I wanted something completely different. I didn’t have money to travel, but I was searching for an idea that could allow me to leave whenever I want. Despite never having left my country, I felt the urge to explore.
I spent my final few months as a student researching all of my options and soon had made up my mind that I was going to teach English in a foreign country. Quickly I was able to narrow down the options to either Japan, South Korea, or China.
Finally, I set China as my destination. The moment I set foot on this magical land, my eyes were opened, and my mind transformed. This was the beginning of a new lifestyle for me. The culture shock was real, but at the same time, it could get people back on their feet. I spent the next few years studying everything under the sun about marketing, online business creation, and sales.
Fast forward a few years, and that site has grown enough to fund my travels. Therefore, I decide I never look back, and I’m determined to start a new life on this land.

23、Identical twins Kathy and Sophie arrived at college last year and determined to strike out on independent paths, so they had requested rooms in different dorms. While Kathy got along with her roommate, Sophie was miserable. She and her roommate silently warred over matters ranging from when the lights should be turned off to how the furniture should be arranged. Finally, they divided the room in two and gave up on oral communication. During this time, Sophie kept seeking comfort from Kathy. Before long, the two wanted to live together again. Sophie’s roommate eventually agreed to move out.
Sophie’s ability to solve her dilemma by rooming with her identical twin is unusual, but the conflict she faced is not. Most roommate conflicts spring from such small, annoying differences rather than from grand disagreements over abstract philosophical principles. One person likes quiet, while the other person spends two hours a day practicing the trumpet. One eats only organically produced vegetables and loves animals, while the other likes wearing fur and enjoys cutting up frogs in biology class.
When personalities don’t mix, the excitement of being away at college can quickly fade away. Moreover, roommates can affect each other’s psychological health. A recent study reports that depression in college roommates is often passed from one person to another.
Many schools have started conflict resolution programs to calm tensions that otherwise can build up like a volcano preparing to explode, ultimately resulting in physical violence. Some colleges have resorted to“roommate contracts“ that all new students fill out and sign after attending a seminar on roommate relations. Students detail behavioral guidelines for their room, including acceptable hours for study and sleep, a policy for use of each other’s possessions. Some schools try to head off the feud before it begins by using computerized matching. Students are put together on the basis of their responses to housing form questions.
【1】Why is the twins’ story mentioned?
A.To describe college life.
B.To reveal the relationship of the twins.
C.To show the love between the sisters.
D.To present the phenomenon of roommate conflicts.
【2】What is the cause of most conflicts among roommates?
A.They have opposite mindsets.
B.They argue over serious matters.
C.They differ greatly in life values.
D.They hold different preferences in some way.
【3】What does the underlined word “feud” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Difference.
B.Quarrel.
C.Competition.
D.Disagreement.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Identical Twins Living Together Again in Colleges
B.Roommate Conflicts, Common and Unavoidable?
C.Roommate Contracts, Useful in Solving Conflicts?
D.Roommate Conflicts Affecting Students’ Psychology
24、 Robotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation quite another, which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.
However, unlike the plot of one film—which featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientist’s bloodstream — this device could not be inserted into blood vessels(管)because it is too big. While other types of miniature swallowable robots have been developed in the past, their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation this week to the International Conference, Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in.
To test their latest version, Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter, which might seem to be an odd task, but more than 3,500 people in America alone, most of them children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year. To start with, the researchers created an artificial esophagus(食道)and stomach made out of silicone(硅胶). It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the robot itself is made from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine(肠), and contains a little magnet. This is folded up and encased in a 10mm×27mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body. In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus(肛门). After it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery burn to speed up healing.
The artificial stomach being transparent on one side, the researchers were able to see the batteries and visually control the robots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging system, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita are determined to succeed.
【1】According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to_________.
A.travel through a scientist’s bloodstream
B.enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairs
C.photograph the body to convey to the doctor
D.operate on a person outside the body completely
【2】We learn from Paragraph 3 that _________.
A.the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animal
B.the actual size of the robot may be larger than the capsule of ice
C.digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for children
D.the robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnet
【3】What may the experiment mean to the medical world?
A.Fewer children will swallow the button cells.
B.A robot will be invented travelling blood vessels.
C.The surgeries will cost patients much money.
D.Patients will suffer less for some surgeries.
【4】Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?
A.The Fantastic Robotic Voyage
B.The Exploration of Robot Technology
C.Tiny Robot, Significant Role
D.An Experiment on Robot

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
The watch was my grandfather's. He hung it by his bed. The face was marked with elegant Roman numbers and the case was gold. My grandfather got it after his fifty years of faithful service with his firm. I often gazed at it longingly as I sat with my grandfather after school.
The day I told him of my success in the examinations, he was pleased, "You'll be going to the new school next, Will. Remember you'll need plenty of patience. That's the right way. " I nodded when handing him the watch. He gazed at it for some moments, and wound it.
The next morning my mother told me he had died in his sleep and left me his watch. For safety, my mother was to put it away in trust until she considered me old enough to look after it. I protested(抗议)so strongly that she finally agreed to hang it in the kitchen where I could always see it.
The summer soon ended and it was time for me to enter the new school. I never made friends easily, and for a time I did little more than get on speaking terms with some boys. One of them was a rich fellow whose way of impressing us was to parade his possessions before us. Everything Crawley had was better than ours—until he brought the watch.
"I have a better watch than that," I announced, attempting to impress them. "Well, show it to us," Crawley sneered(冷笑)in disbelief. Embarrassed, I promised to bring it to them that afternoon.
Considering there was no way to persuade my mother to let me take the watch, I decided to wait for her to step outside and slip the watch into my pocket. So I did. After lunch, as I was too excited to wait for the return bus, I got my bike out of the shed
I rode fast, excitement coursing through me. Then suddenly a puppy ran out into my path. I pulled at my brakes so hard that the bike stopped to a sharp standstill(急停)and I fell over.
