21、People with liver(肝)failure may in future recover by being attached to dialysis(透析)equipment to clean their blood of poisonous substances. The idea is similar to kidney dialysis, when people with kidney failure regularly go to a clinic or hospital to have their blood cleaned. Now, a new technique has shown promise in a small clinical trial, where it boosted the recovery process for people with liver failure.

Liver failure can be triggered by infections, drug overdoses, or drinking too much alcohol. One of the liver's main functions is to remove harmful elements from the blood. In severe liver failure, there is a huge build-up of poisons, which can cause damage to other organs and death.

Many poisonous substances from food and drink are transported in the blood. Initial attempts to replace the liver's function have involved simple forms of dialysis, where the blood is passed through a filter containing clean albumin(白蛋白).

This treatment is on offer in certain hospitals globally, but some trials have failed to show it provides benefit. The problem is that people with liver failure make too little albumin and what they do make doesn't function properly, says Agarwal, a doctor from the Royal Free Hospital in London. "Whatever albumin is being produced is of low quality." So Agarwal and his colleagues developed a different approach, removing the poisonous albumin from the individual's blood and replacing it with an adding of fresh albumin.

The technique was tested in 30 people in intensive care with severe liver failure caused by an outburst of alcoholic cirrhosis. Half the group had three to five dialysis sessions, while the rest received conventional care. Ten out of the 15 people who got dialysis recovered after 10 days, compared with five out of the 15 who got the conventional care. The results were presented at the International Liver Congress, which was held virtually at the end of June.

The work is at an early stage, but the results are promising. "We are really desperate to find something to bridge to transplantation." says Tobias Bottler at the University of Freiburg, Germany, who wasn't involved in the trial.

【1】What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．The small trial

B．The new technique.

C．The dialysis equipment.

D．The poisonous substance

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Traditional care is more effective than dialysis in treating liver failure.

B．Dialysis treatment is available in hospitals with its all trials successful.

C．It's hard for people with liver failure to make much high-quality albumin

D．Many poisonous substances from food and air are transported in the blood.

【3】What's the attitude of the author towards liver dialysis?

A．Indifferent.

B．Negative.

C．Positive

D．Suspicious.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Liver Dialysis Is One Step Closer

B．Approaches to Curing Liver Cancer

C．Attempts to Restore the Liver's Function

D．Liver Dialysis Replaces Transplantation

22、Do you want a bit of an adventure? Would you like to discover all the corners of the UK, or travel abroad? Maybe you have never tried the motorhome lifestyle before. Well, read this article and you will know why a motorhome is a good choice.

Nothing is better than a motorhome. It has so many uses that it is considered the most versatile vehicle and it is also very comfortable. If you are thinking about hiring a motorhome this summer, then the best choice is to book it early, especially if you are considering the school holidays. The motorhome hire service is very seasonal and motorhome hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months.

There are a lot of companies throughout the UK, and some of the big ones have motorhomes spread all over the country. At present, the largest network for motorhome hire is provided by Motorhome which is based in Cambridge. If you are in the UK, you may phone 0800612-8719 for details of its motorhome hire information. Motorhome has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England, Scotland and Wales.

Most people wishing to hire a motorhome are families that are looking for an alternative to a European package holiday, especially as flying now has become more expensive, and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly. There is no doubt that the idea of no-fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly. This explains why more and more people are choosing to hire a motorhome for their holidays.

【1】The main purpose of this text is to explain why it is a good idea to _________.

A．take an adventure

B．travel to England

C．try a new lifestyle

D．hire a motorhome

【4】The last paragraph tells us the advantages of hiring a motorhome by _________.

A．telling us a story

C．comparing it with flying

D．showing the results of a study

23、For many men, the idea that they have a better sense of direction than women has been improved by a scientific study.

Researchers from Norway scanned on the brains of volunteers as they completed navigation (导航) tasks to discover men are more skillful at finding their way because they use a separate part of their brain. According to lead researcher Dr. Cal Pintzka from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), men and women have different navigational strategies.

Med use basic directions—the use of north, south, east and west—during navigation to a greater degree. Men’s sense of direction was more effective. They quite simply got to their destination faster. “If they’re going to the Students Society building in Trodheim, for example, men usually go into the general direction where it is located.” Dr. Pintzka explained.

Women usually orient (标定方向) themselves along a route to get there, for example, go past the hairdresser and then up the street and turn right after the shore.

The study shows that using the basic directions is more efficient because it is a more flexible strategy. The destination can be reached faster because the strategy depends less on where you start.

Meanwhile, the study also shows both men and women use large areas of the brain when they navigate, but some areas were different. The man used the hippocampus (海马体) more, whereas women use their frontal areas to a greater extent. That degrees with the fact that the hippocampus is necessary to make use of basic directions. Losing one’s sense of direction is one of the first symptoms in Alzheimer’s disease.

Understanding how men and women use different brain areas and strategies to navigate, researchers will be able to enhance the understand of the disease’s development, and develop coping strategies for those already affected.

【1】 How are men different from women in navigation?

A. They use a separate part of their brain.

B. They deal with navigation in complex ways.

C. They make different actions to the road signs.

D. They form different images of road conditions.

【2】 What strategy do men usually take to find a place?

A. Finding out all possible routes.

B. Remembering all the landmarks.

C. Making out the general direction.

D. Drawing a general map of the place.

【3】Why is men’s strategy more efficient?

A. Because it is much easier to be carried out.

B. Because it is more helpful to identify roads.

C. Because it is simpler for telling directions.

D. Because it is less limited by the starting place.

【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. Getting to the destination is no more a difficult thing.

B. Men have a better sense of direction than women.

C. Alzheimer’s disease can be prevented effectively.

D. Hippocampus is playing a key role in navigation.

24、There are so many definitions of wisdom. Simply put, wisdom is a mix of insight, commonsense, experience, and results to sound judgement. It is not merely a desirable quality but an absolute necessity in a world filled with chaos, controversy, and conflicts.【1】It shines our way through darkness.

Growing up with fairy tales and fantasy movies, I always associated wisdom with Gandalf, Yoda, and Albus Dumbledore. Although these characters have given every one of us tons of inspiration, wisdom actually lies within ourselves.【2】And how?

Embarking on new experiences is an avenue for acquiring wisdom. You will never grow from being in your comfort zone, which is why you need to get out of it. Do change your routine and experience as much as what life takes you to! In fact, there are always several sides to a life story. To identify the truth, you need to be receptive to different views.【3】It is not emotion-based either. Instead, train your mind to be a judgment-free space for ideas. Open- mindedness opens new pathways to profound insights.

What if you are desperate for personal growth and improvement?【4】

The more time you spend with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be. Your tutors can be whoever is wiser than you. Yet prior to that, engage in dialogue with them to find out why.

Rome was not built in a day.【5】It is important to acknowledge that it takes a span of your life and continuous effort to mature in wisdom as you navigate life’s challenges.

A．Individuals need to bring it out.

B．It isn’t something you are born with.

C．Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.

D．Remember developing wisdom is beyond a destination.

E．A shortcut to do that is to have wise people as your tutors.

F．Never base your perspective on the most popular opinions.

G．In order to navigate in it, wisdom becomes our guiding light.

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。

When I was in middle school, I thought there were only two options—I could somehow be cool, or I could somehow be invisible. And I have to say,I was doing pretty well at option two. Until third period on the first day, when a teacher had us fill out a questionnaire with “get to know you” questions. I assumed hat she would be reading them privately, so I felt safe to share from the

perspective of a real me.

The teacher collected the sheets，shuffled(搅乱)them,and redistributed them to the class. We went one by one.We‘d read the student's name and then our three favorite answers.

My sheet end up in the hands of a kid who was one of the coolest and meanest.What is “favorite answer”of mine were the three worst ones to be read out loud .The first question was “What's your favorite movie?"The other kids wrote Scream and Universal Soldier. He read my answer,Beauty and the Beast. A laugh erupted from the room,and my cheeks burning because I knew we were just getting started.

The next question he read was"Where would you like to travel?” The others had said “Australia,”“Japan.”I wrote “Wherever a book takes me.” The laughter this time had an explosive quality to it. The kids were high-fiving.

The final question was “What do you like to do on the weekends?” The other kids wrote“Hang out with friends" and “go to the mall.”I wrote “perform with Clowns." Those who weren't laughing at me were sort of staring at me in disgust. I felt about an inch tall.
