Never mind 第2节 ：完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)Finding meaningThis is a part of Debra Jarvis speech at TED in 2014, which described what she learned when she was a cancer patient.In 2005, it was at a big cancer center where I was working 36 I received the news that my mother had breast cancer. And then five days later, I received the news that I had breast cancer. My mother and I can be competitive, but I was really not trying to 37 with her on this one. I learned a lot being a patient, and one of the surprising things was that only a small part of the cancer experience is about 38 . Most of it is about feelings and faith, losing and 39 your identity, and discovering 40 you never even knew you had. Its about realizing that the most important things in life are not things at all, 41 relationships. Its about laughing in the 42 of uncertainty and learning that the way to get out of almost anything is to say: “I 43 cancer.” So the other thing I 44 was that I dont have to 45 “cancer survivor” as my identity. Sometimes, it feels like people are too crazy 46 it and they start telling us how were going to feel. About a week after my operation, we had a houseguest. So at dinner that night, our houseguest said: “You know, Deb, now youre really going to learn whats 47 . Yes, you are going to make some big changes in your life, and now youre going to start 48 about your death. Yep, this cancer is your wake-up call.” Now, these are golden 49 coming from someone who is speaking about their own experience, but when someone is telling you how you are going to feel, it doesnt 50 . After my treatment, it just felt like everyone was telling me what my 51 was going to mean.It was at that point where I felt like, oh my God, this is just 52 over my life. And thats when I told myself: Take charge of your experience. Dont let it 53 you. We all know that the way to deal with this unpleasant experience, with loss, with any life-changing experience, is to find 54 . But heres the thing: No one can tell us what our experience means. We have to 55 what it means.36. A. where B. thatC. whatD. which 37. A. agreeB. struggle C. argue D. compete38. A. medicine B. adventure C. lifeD. money 39. A. receiving B. finding C. defendingD. exchanging40. A. strength B. fitness C. energy D. force41. A. and B. so C. but D. for42. A. middleB. frontC. face D. course43.

If you just let other people decide what is going to happen for you, then all your goals and dreams may never be achieved. Everyone always says that studying abroad in college can change your life. I made the decision to experience it for myself during my junior year. I chose to study in the Dominican Republic. As it got closer to the deadline, an advisor told me I had received a scholarship from an alumni (校友) family foundation (基金). During my first semester in the country I fell in love. I was becoming bilingual (双语的) but also learning so much about a new culture. I had begun working with a local grassroots (草根) organization, taking part in a project supporting an underdeveloped community just outside the city. My main role was to become aware of the issues facing populations such as these and support community education. I was in no way ready to leave this new life. I felt as if I needed more time to get what I wanted. As the next semester began, I realized again that I needed to take a chance. I got involved with a local boarding school for girls living in poverty. I first approached the head of the school to volunteer to teach music classes, asking for money from my college church. I could have never predicted the results of this small action. Another volunteer and I were able to put together a benefit (义演) to show off what the students had learned. We invited community members, friends and other students from local universities to support the girls. We also sold art that the students themselves had created to increase the funding (资助) of the arts program. I felt good when I left, knowing that I had laid the foundation for a good cause and bettered the lives of young girls. There will always be people that think they know what is best for you, but you ultimately know what you want in life. My time in the Dominican Republic changed my life by giving me the realization of how fortunate I am and the fact that there is always a chance to give back. You have to go after anything and everything you desire or there may be a missed opportunity. My trip to Santo Domingo taught me to take advantage of new possibilities. By Melissa Chapman, Tribune News Service56. The article mainly tells us _.A. how the author helped poor girls in a local boarding schoolB. that studying abroad gave the author life-changing opportunitiesC. that the author chose to study abroad to follow other peoples examplesD. how the author learned about the issues facing people in the Dominican Republic57. In her first semester in the Dominican Republic, the author _.A. couldnt fit in well with the school or life thereB. started a project in an underdeveloped communityC. was unsure if she should stay for another semesterD. became absorbed in a new culture and a new language58.

The author is grateful for her experience in Santo Domingo.D. We should accept others advice if they think they know what is best for us.B A MAJOR breakthrough that could save many lives could be coming, as a simple blood test from genomics (基因组学) company Illumina could help to detect (发现) cancer early. The company, helped by $100 million (about 658 million yuan) from famous tech founders like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, aims to find warning signs of any type of cancer before there are any symptoms or tumors (肿瘤), and thus save many lives, according to The Telegraph. The race to invent this type of technology is happening between several scientists. For example, the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute and the University of Leicester in the UK are both working on similar technologies. Although some blood treatments that show tumors returning or cancer getting worse have been developed, scientists have been trying for some time to find cancer signs in people that otherwise seem healthy. The technology, called “liquid biopsy”, would work by finding parts of DNA that are known to be signs of cancer in the blood as the disease developed. Catching cancer early isnt always a good thing some cancers never go on to become dangerous, but treating them can have bad side effects. However, Jay Flatley, the Illumina chief executive and chairman of Grail, a company set up by Illumina, told The New York Times that Grail will solve these issues by sequencing (确定的顺序) the DNA of 30,000 to 50,000 people. It will check how serious their cancers are over time to make the test accurate. The money of a large company like Illumina means that its DNA sequencing technologies are far more accurate than the average ones. At the University of Leicester, researchers such as Professor Jacqui Shaw are also trying to solve the problem by analyzing bits of DNA for errors that are only related to fast-progressing tumors. “We hope today is a turning point in the war on cancer,” said Flatley. “By making it possible for cancer to be detected early in people with no symptoms through a simple blood test, we aim to greatly decrease cancer deaths by finding the disease at a stage when it can be cured.” Last year, a similar test created in London by the Institute of Cancer Research was able to tell if breast cancer was coming back almost eight months before any symptoms were found.59. According to the article, the company Illumina _.A. has invented a new medicine to cure cancerB. has found a new way to cure cancer of any kindC. is developing a new treatment for breast cancerD. could use a blood test to catch cancer early60. What can be concluded from the article?A. Blood tests still cant discover signs of cancer returning.B. Only scientists in the UK are making progress in cancer research.C. Finances play an important role in research.D. The “liquid biopsy” technology is the first blood treatment adopted in the history of cancer research.61. The author wrote the article mainly to _.A. inform us of a new method of detecting cancerB. call for donations to companies doing medical researchC. compare different cancer experiments D. stress the difficulties of medical researchC If two scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are correct, people will still be driving gasoline powered cars 50 years from now, giving out heat-trapping carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）into the atmosphereand yet that carbon dioxide will not contribute to global warming.In a proposal by two scientists, vehicle emissions (排放) would no longer contribute to global warming. The scientists, F. Jeffrey Martin and William L. Kubic Jr., are proposing a concept, which they have named Green Freedom, for removing carbon dioxide from the air and turning it back into gasoline.The idea is simple. Air would be blown over a liquid solution of potassium carbonate, which would absorb the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide would then be put to chemical reactions that would turn it into fuel（燃料）: gasoline or jet fuel.This process could change carbon dioxide from an unwanted, climate-changing pollutant into a vast resource for renewable fuels. The cycleequal amounts of carbon dioxide produced and removedwould mean that cars, trucks and airplanes using the synthetic (合成的) fuels would no longer be contributing to global warming. Although they have not yet built a synthetic fuel factory, or even a small model, the scientists say it is all based on existing technology. “Everything in the concept has been built, is operating or has a close cousin that is operating.” Dr. Martin said.The Los Alamos proposal does not go against any laws of physics, and other scientists who have independently suggested similar ideas. Dr. Martin said he and Dr. Kubic had worked out their concept in more detail than former proposals.There is, however, a major fact that explains why no one has built a carbon-dioxide-to-gasoline factory: it requires a great deal of energy.According to their analysis, their concept, which would cost about $5 billion to build, could produce gasoline at an operating cost of $1.40 a gallon and would turn economically practical when the price at the pump hits $4.60 a gallon.Other scientists
