18、can and the first with a false limb to travel to space.Hayleys space dreams began two decades ago, following a visit to the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. However, the young girls dreams were derailed a year later when she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma a type of bone cancer.Fortunate

19、ly, the fatal disease had been caught early and the experts at St. Judes Childrens Research Hospital in Memphis were able to reduce its spread through chemotherapy and by replacing the diseased bones with metal rods (杆) in her left leg. Arceneaux said she never thought she would be able to go to spa

20、ce. But when the call came “out of the blue” from Jared Isaacman, CEO and founder of Shift4 Payments, asking her if she would like to go to space, she said without hesitation, “Yes, yes, absolutely!”Isaacman had always intended to go to space. Hence when SpaceX announced the worlds first all-commerc

21、ial astronaut mission, the 37-year-old billionaire, instantly booked the available four seats. The flying enthusiast announced that he would donate three seats to members of the general public. Hayley, the first crew member to be announced, will represent the pillar (支柱) of “hope” a nod to her survi

26、l public?ATo promote his companys productsBTo raise funds for a cancer hospital.CTo inspire interests in space travel.DTo seek help for disabled children.On July 31, 1697, a French lawyer named Jacques Sennacques wrote a message to remind a cousin in the Netherlands to send him a relatives death cer

27、tificate. To prevent others from reading the message, the note was carefully folded, or “letter locked.” The technique was used before the invention of envelopes. However, for reasons unknown, the note never reached the recipient and was instead stored in a postmasters trunk, where it remained undet

28、ected for centuries. Now, a team of international researchers has deciphered (破译) the contents of the over 300-year-old sealed letter without opening it!The chain of events leading to this technology began in 2015 when MIT expert Jana Dambrogio got a call from Daniel Starza Smith, a researcher at Ki

29、ngs College London. “He asked me, What would you do if I told you there was a trunk with 600 unopened letters?”The trunk had once belonged to 17th-century postmaster Simon de Brienne. Historians believe the post office stored the undelivered letters. Thats because, in the 17th century, it was the re

30、cipient, not the sender, who bore the postage cost. When Brienne died in 1707, he donated the trunk of letters to an orphanage. Somehow, the trunk eventually made its way to the postal museum, where it lay until recently.Since opening the letters would destroy them, Dambrogio and her team decided to

31、 develop technology to unseal them virtually. They began by using a high-resolution X-ray scanner to create a detailed three-dimensional image of a sealed letter. While the writing inside showed up very clearly, the numerous layers of folded paper pressed close together caused the words to overlap (

32、重叠).To solve the issue, the researchers created sophisticated algorithm (算法) capable of deciphering the writing in the cleverly folded letter, crease by crease. The virtual opening allowed the team to read the contents “while preserving letter locking evidence.” The algorithm took almost five years

33、to perfect. Once perfected, they used it to open four locked letters and fully decode(解码) the one from Sennacques.28What can we learn from the first paragraph?AQuite a few people could write letters.BEnvelopes were not invented in 1697.CJacques Sennacques was a postmaster.DResearchers couldnt figure

34、 out the letter.29Why did the post office store the undelivered letters?ATo get paid.BTo find the senders.CTo save the cost.DTo scan the letters.30We can conclude that the folded letters_.Awere badly damagedBwere all decodedCremained very freshDwere very fragile31How did the researchers decode the l

35、etter from Sennacques?APhysically.BChemically.COccasionally.DDigitally.Vaccines(疫苗) against COVID-19 are about 90 percent effective at blocking coronavirus infections, studies suggest.Nearly 4,000 health care workers, first responders and firefighters in six states took part in the study led by CDC

36、researchers. From December 14 through March 13, the workers submitted weekly nasal swabs(鼻拭子) for coronavirus testing. Infection rates fell after vaccination. “Our study shows that if you were fully vaccinated, you had 90 percent protection from infection”, says Jeff Burgess.Other studies carried ou

37、t in California and Texas also seem to back up the findings, researchers say in separate reports published March 23 in the New England Journal of Medicine. In the Texas report, 234 of 8,969 non-vaccinated employees at the University of Texas Southwester Medical Center in Dallas tested positive for t

38、he coronavirus from December 15 to January 28. Thats 2.61 percent, compared with 1. 82 percent (112 of 6, 144) of employees that had gotten one shot and 0. 05 percent (four of 8, 121) of fully vaccinated employees.In the California report, infections among health care workers also fell with increasi

39、ng vaccination levels. Only seven infections occurred among 4, 167 people who were at least 15 days out from getting their second dose of vaccine. The vaccines prevented health care workers in the study from becoming serious ill, says study coauthor Francesca Torriani, a professor at the University

40、of California, San Diego.But to really stop transmission of the virus, its important to vaccinate 18- to 30-year-olds, she says, “Those are the ones who are right now transmitting the disease.” Motivating these health people who are less likely to become severely ill in the first place to take the s

41、hots could be difficult, Torriani says, “Theres not much in it for them, but there is a lot in it for their families, so Im hoping that realization will push them toward getting vaccinated.”Because some vaccinated people can still get infected, the CDC recommends that people who have gotten their sh

42、ots continue to wear masks in public to avoid spreading the virus.32Which of the following is true of the study led by CDC researchers?AAll participants in the study were medical workers.BThe study was carried out in California and Texas.CNasal swabs were submitted for testing every day.DA small num

43、ber of vaccinated people got infected.33How does the writer support the findings in the third paragraph?ABy asking questions.BBy quoting the saying.CBy listing the statistics.DBy describing a process.34What does the California report suggest?APeople are advised to take two doses of vaccines.BOne dos

44、e of the vaccines can ensure your safety.CThe vaccines have some slightest side effects.DOld people should be cautious to get vaccinated.35According to Torriani, who are the vital people to block coronavirus transmission?AHealthy people.BYoung peopleCElderly people.DWeak people.五、七选五Many people trul

45、y want to help a friend who is in pain. But words often fail us at times like these, leaving us stammering (结巴) for the right thing to say. Some people are so afraid to say or do the wrong thing that they choose to do nothing at all._36_ Theres no one perfect way to respond or to support someone you

46、 care about, but there are some good ground rules._37_ You are not supposed to be a central figure when your friend feels sad. You may say you would have done things differently if this unlucky thing had happened to you. Of course, I hope you dont get the chance to find out. The unhappiness belongs

47、to your friend. So follow their lead.Keep in mind that being with someone who is in pain isnt easy. Your friend cannot show up for their part of the relationship very well, and you will likely get hurt. Dont take it personally._38_ In fact, one of the best things you can do for a friend in sorrow is to forecast their needs. Dont say, “Call me if theres anything I can do,” because your friend will not call. What you should do is to make concrete offers: “I will stop by each morning on my way to work and take your dog for a quick walk.” Then show up and do it.
