15、 I thought of all of the friends I had made in the sport. It had been a decade since I entered a competition. Strangely, tears began to roll down my cheeks. Then, for the first time in many years, I wept openly. I tried to calm myself and walked to the bathroom to wash my face. It was there that I t

16、ook a good, long, hard look at myself in the mirror. I was no longer that marathon runner. I was a middle- aged man to sit behind the desk in my office for the day and had grown content in my life and appeared comfortable with the increase in the size of my waistline. When I took a serious look at m

17、yself, I knew it was time to change. I lacked discipline (自制力) and had no readily identifiable goals. Strange quiet came over me. I was going to transform my life. It was time to reinvent myself, to become all that I could imagine. I asked myself one more question, “What are you willing to do to mak

18、e this dream a reality? ” The answer was a very simple one, “Whatever it takes! ”The first few days, I was filled with enthusiasm and it was easy to stay on track. I prepared myself mentally for the difficult days. As the days went by, my newly discovered discipline developed into more discipline. I

19、 vowed (发晢) to remain true to my restricted diet of 1, 200 calories per day. I was running for an hour every morning and lifting weights for another hour three or four days per week. Weight began to reduce. I lost about three pounds every week. This was feeling good. I was gaining momentum and stren

20、gth as each day passed. There was no doubt in my mind that I would get down to my desired weight.24What can we learn about the author from paragraph 3?AHe used to be a lawyer.BHe was totally out of shape.CHe was no longer fit to work out.DHe had something wrong with his waist.25What was the author a

Theyre male mosquitoes, key players in a strategy that could be the last, b

23、est hope for Hawaiis endangered birds. There were once more than 50 species of Hawaiian honeycreepers, a kind of small bird. Now, only 17 species are left, with some expected to go extinct in the wild as soon as this year. Hawaiian honeycreepers are disappearing because of avian malaria (禽疟疾病) , spr

24、ead by mosquitoes that were introduced to Hawaii by accident in the 1800s. With no immunity (免疫力) , native birds often die after a single mosquito bite. Still, small pockets of birds have survived because the mosquito attack has been blocked by an invisible line. Above 4, 000 to 5, 000 feet in eleva

25、tion (海拔) , temperatures are too cold for mosquitoes, so the birds there have remained safe. But as temperatures rise with climate change, the mosquitoes are advancing into the birds last remaining shelter. As a last effort to save the birds, researchers are borrowing a strategy from public health d

26、epartments. Where mosquitoes spread human diseases, improved mosquitoes that are unable to reproduce successfully are often released, helping to limit the overall mosquito population. Now, this strategy is being used for wildlife protection. So far, millions of male mosquitoes have been delivered by

27、 the small plane in high-elevation forests on Maui. Hawaiian honeycreepers are found nowhere else on Earth and make up an important part of the ecosystem. Experts say its difficult to fully understand how biodiversity loss will affect an entire ecosystem. The disappearance of honeycreepers would als

28、o mean the loss of species found nowhere else. Our world would just become less colorful, less diverse as we continue to let species go extinct. Finally, the hope is that Hawaiian honeycreepers will develop immunity to avian malaria, as birds in other places have done. And theres already been a sign

29、 it could be possible. Recently, one bird that was thought to be dead reappeared, far from where it was released, having survived malaria.28What is the primary threat to Hawaiian honeycreepers mentioned in paragraph 1?AIntroduction of foreign bird species.BA disease spread through mosquito bites.CLo

30、ss of habitat due to human activities.DNatural disasters affecting the bird population.29Why were male mosquitoes released in high- elevation forests on Maui?ATo study their ability to survive.BTo test new methods of mosquito delivery.CTo control the mosquito population.DTo observe their impact on t

31、he ecosystem.30What is paragraph 4 mainly about?AThe importance of biodiversity.BThe strategies of protecting biodiversity.CThe potential results of losing Hawaiian honeycreepers.DThe impact of Hawaiian honeycreepers on the ecosystem.31What is the authors attitude to the future of Hawaiian honeycree

32、pers?APositive.BObjective.CDoubtful.DWorried.A remarkable discovery has changed the way scientists think about the history of cancer treatment. While many people think of cancer as a disease that affects only modern-day humans, cancer has been around for thousands of years and new research shows tha

33、t humans have also tried to manage it for thousands of years. The study of two ancient Egyptian skulls (颅骨) held at the University of Cambridge in England has suggested that ancient Egyptians may have performed surgery to manage cancer. Professor Edgard Camaros from the University of Santiago de Com

34、postela in Spain and his team were shocked when they found cut marks and evidence of cancer in the skulls of two ancient Egyptians dating back up to 4000 years old. While Egyptians are well known for having excellent medical knowledge and treating a range of diseases, they had never been known for t

35、reating cancer. The skulls had already been studied in 1963 by other scientists, however, the technology at that time wasnt advanced enough to pick up the cut marks of operation found on the skulls, Professor Edgard Camaros said. It was thanks to a HIROZ Digital Microscope HR-2016 that scientists sp

36、otted surgical cut marks around two cancer lesions (病变). One limitation regarding cancer is that there are too few cancer cases on ancient human remains. The study of disease found in animal and human remains aims to find out as much as possible about diseases in the past to help our understanding o

37、f diseases now. Our discipline is limited by the samples we work with, which depends on the funeral culture of some people as well as the environment in which they were preserved. Egypt is a great place thanks to its advanced funerary (埋葬的) practices and the dry weather which preserves remains bette

38、r.32How did Professor Edgard and his team feel when they found the cut marks?AOverjoyed.BConfused.CSurprised.DDisappointed.33Why did scientists fail to find the cut marks in 1963?AThey were too careless.BThey lacked advanced technology.CThey were in such a rush.DThey had little relative knowledge.34

39、What makes Egypt a great place for preservation according to the last paragraph?AIts population.BIts economy.CIts scenery.DIts climate.35What is the best title for the text?ACancer Has Been Around for Thousands of YearsBAncient Egyptians Had Found a Cure for CancerCScientists Assumed Causes for Mark

40、s on Ancient SkullsDAnimal and Human Remains Are Well Preserved in EgyptWhen you imagine your next family vacation, you probably picture yourself lying on a beach as the kids play in the sand, or taking in the culture and sights of a new city. 36 Involve kids in planning the trip, including the budg

41、et. Start by letting your kids know how much you have to spend on the trip. 37 Next, research what you can do at the destination and see whats affordable within your family budget. Set up savings goals for the trip. While researching the trip, your kids might discover going whale watching would stre

42、tch the budget too far. 38 Kids could earn money toward the goal by cleaning neighbors gardens, pet sitting or setting up a lemonade stand at the local market. Get kids involved in booking airplanes and hotels. 39 Is the family willing to take a 6 am flight to save $400? And while the hotel with the

43、 cool pool might be appealing, is it worth spending a lot on accommodations instead of using that money on attractions? 40 The attractions are endless on vacations. What if kids are given a budget of, say, $20 or less a day? Theyll have to make decisions about whats worth spending money on and whats

44、 not.AGive kids access to online banking.BSet a daily spending budget for kids.CThis can be a great opportunity to get started.DThis process will be a good lesson in comparison shopping.EAnd investigate which destinations reasonably fit within that amount.FBut while relaxing, you can also teach your
