19、onths of rest I went back to college, but then things took a turn for the worse. I was staying at my Nanas house and woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain in my chest. I knew I was having a heart attack again. I couldnt even shout for help. Luckily my grandpa was going to the toile

20、t and heard me falling out of bed. If it wasnt for him, I probably wouldnt be here. The two holes in my heart were causing the problems and I needed an operation immediately to repair them. Unfortunately, the surgery didntgo well and they only managed to repair one of the holes. When I woke up from

21、theoperation, I had a really dry mouth and couldnt wait to have something to eat and drink. The biggestshock of all came when I was told that I needed a heart transplant and was put on the register. Thedoctors were stunned at how quickly heart failure came on it usually takes years, but it took my h

22、eart less than six months to get to that stage. My whole world came crashing down, but I stayed strong. It was a choice between crying every day andgetting on with my life. As time went on, life became even harder. I hated feeling weak all the time and needing help with everything. It got to the poi

23、nt where I thought I would never get a new heart.Iwas diagnosed with depression. Even though I thought that Christmas 2008 would be my last, I really enjoyed it and even had a good New Year. Everyonewas crying for me when the clock struck midnight and they told me to keep fighting. A week later, I g

24、ot a call from the doctors saying theyd found a suitable donor (捐赠人). My wish came true and thankfully the operation went well.

28、atter B. Rebuilding my worldC. Waiting for a new heart D. The most special ChristmasC Humans have launched themselves into the outer space. Theyve landed on the moon. Theyve built habitable space stations that orbit the Earth. The next giant leap for mankind is to reach another planet specifically,

29、Mars. The problem is that its no easy task. The planet is 586 times further away from the Earth than the moon, and itll take around 180 to 220 days to reach Mars, depending on where each planet is in its orbit. Such long periods in space have suggested many potential health problems, including hormo

30、nal changes, skin conditions, and muscle and bone deterioration (损耗). Heres where some furry friends come in. A wide range of animals have been in space, from fruit flies and spiders to cats, and dogs. Such experiments began as far back as the late 1940s in first tests to see if living things could

31、withstand the extreme g-force (重力) of a rocket launch. Mice continue to play a very important part in space experiments, mainly because the animals make excellent test subjects. Theyre small, which makes them inexpensive and easy to care for. In addition, their size and short life span make it possi

32、ble to do the equivalent of several human years of tests in a much shorter time. Finally, because mice are mammals, they share many common characteristics with humans in terms of genetics, biology and behavior. Astromice have hit the headlines recently, as a team of scientists led by Betty Nusgens,

33、professor of biology at the University of Liege in Belgium, found that the mice suffered a 15 percent thinning of their skin after 91 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS). This experiment was part of a wider NASA mission (任务) called the Mice Drawer System (MDS). The Italian Space Agency

34、 developed the facility, which allows six mice to be housed, monitored, and automatically fed and watered aboard the ISS, among which three survived during the mission. The mice have participated in 20 separate experiments, to study such effects as osteoporosis (骨质疏松症), anemia (贫血) and heart health.

35、 Results for the 20 experiments are coming in gradually. But its clear that mice continue to play an important role in the ongoing quest to conquer the final frontier.28. We can infer from Paragraphs 2-3 that _.A. Mars is the farthest planet away from Earth discovered so farB. the journey to Mars co

36、uld put humans health at riskC. it was in the late 1940s that animals were first sent to the ISSD. animals that have been sent into space have mostly survived29. The underlined word “withstand” in Para.3 means _. A.set up B. hold up C. work out D. come across30. According to Betty Nusgens and her te

37、am, the mice aboard the ISS _.A. suffered the loss of part of their skin B. all survived for the duration of the missionC. were fed and watered by the astronauts D. participated in 20 experiments that made great breakthroughs31. The main purpose of the article is to _.A. describe the role mice play

38、in scientific researchB. report on the results of the Mice Drawer SystemC. analyze how mice could pave the way to Mars D. change peoples traditional attitudes toward miceDIs pricing a plane ticket based on the passengers weight fair? If youre taking an international flight on Samoa Air today, your f

39、are will be based on your weight, along with that of your luggage. The cost is 93 cents to $1.06 for each kilogram. The average American woman weighs 75.5 kilograms, far from the ideal weight for her average height. Her ticket on Samoa Air, at the $1 a kilogram rate, would cost $75.50. But lets be h

40、onest here. Since the average American woman is overweight, the ticket will cost her more. Samoa Air Chief Executive Chris Langton said, “Planes are run by weight and not by seat. The plane can only carry a certain amount of weight and that weight needs to be paid.”He believes other airlines should

41、adopt the policy. It s not a new idea. I remember a newspaper columnist years ago who put forth the idea that the heavier among us should pay more for their seats on planes, trains and buses. Who hasn t been squeezed into a middle seat between two plus-sized folks on a flight? It s happened to me; o

42、ne time my married seatmates had purposefully chosen their seats to have more space until a sold-out flight put me between them. Not one of my better flying experiences. What if such a policy is adopted by some airlines in the United States? Could such pricing provide a much-needed motivation for Am

43、ericans to reduce body weight? I hope so. But, as we know, more than one-third of us are obese and another third are overweight. The high probability is that the heavy customers will not suddenly lose weight or stop flying, but will instead choose a different airline, simply moving the supposed prob

44、lem elsewhere. Theres no doubt that the heavier will suffer more discrimination (歧视). Discrimination against the overweight in the United States has increased by 66 percent over the last decade “and is comparable to rates of racial discrimination, especially among women,”wrote Yale University resear

45、cher Rebecca M. Puhl. Your weight can affect your salary, your chances for employment, how others view you and even, now, your air fares. “If the policy succeeds it may encourage the spread of body discrimination across different industries and the wider culture,” said one British editorial writer.

46、He holds that it is companies duty to provide equipment that meet the needs of their customers. And well see how effective it is as a business model.32. In Paragraph 3, Chris Langton _.A. explained the reasons for the ticket policy B. showed the difficulties of the ticket policyC. expressed his doub

47、t about the ticket policy D. discussed the advantages of the ticket policy33. If some American airlines adopt the ticket policy_.A. they will possibly lose a lot of customersB. there will be less overweight peopleC. people will use other forms of transportationD. the problem of overweight planes wil

48、l be partly solved34. The author mentions Puhls study to show_.A. women are less likely to suffer discriminationB. racial discrimination is getting worse nowadaysC. the ticket policy will have little influence on the obeseD. the ticket policy will make body discrimination more serious35. Which best

49、describes the British editorial writers attitude to Samoa Airs policy?A. Optimistic. B. Defensive. C. Disapproving. D. Casual.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Thanks to the magic of the Internet, booking your yearly trip is just a few clicks away. But you may throw mone
