29、BThere can be magic in the touch of a hand that loves you. It brings comfort and a silent promise that says, “I am here and you are not alone.”When my children were born, I memorized every detail about them: the skin that felt so soft, the lips that looked like a pink flower, and the eyes that looke

30、d deep into my soul. And, of course, their hands.As babies, they reached for me whenever they were hungry or tired or just needed to be held. Sometimes, if they woke in the night, just the touch of my hand would ease them back to sleep. They clung to me when they took their first steps and we held h

31、ands when crossing streets and walking from the car to their classroom on their first day of school.My hands picked them up when they fell, and clapped louder than anybody else at their sports games and plays. Their hands waved at me from the window of a school bus, the stage of an auditorium, and f

32、rom the bottom of a pool.As they grew older and more independent, I noticed that they didn t hold my hand much anymore. I told myself it was part of growing up, and I should just be glad they could do things on their own now.But when you ve been needed so much for such a long time, it s hard to step

33、 back and feel unnecessary.Then one day, I was visiting my oldest son in New York, where he was working as an actor on a TV show. As we were about to cross a busy street that was filled with traffic, he grabbed my hand and shouted, “ Hang on to me, Mom,” then led me safely across.At that moment, I r

34、ealized two things. First, my boy had become a man. Second, it was clear that our roles had changed. We still needed each other, but in different ways than before.That scene has replayed in various ways with each of my three children. They have all taught me to lean on them just as they once leaned

35、on me, and that we can always lean on each other. We live miles apart, but stay in touch every day.

40、created by researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai is making this a reality.Research on a new type of flexible textile( 织 物 )with a display system that has multiple applications was published in the journal Nature on March 10.A user can read messages, reply and even navigate on his sleeve, as sh

41、own in a video produced by the team. The team claimed that the material is also comfortable to wear. “ Clothes woven with this new material can closely follow the irregular outline of the human body and are as light and breathable as ordinary textiles, ensuring comfort,” said Peng Huisheng, leader o

42、f the team. The textile can also endure repeated folding and stretching. “ Its brightness and stability remained almost unchanged after having been washed in a washing machine 500 times,” said Peng.Behind the magical textile is ten years of hard work by Peng and his team. The research team created t

43、wo functional fibers: a silver-plated thread that can light up, and a kind of thread that conducts electricity. According to The Paper, the biggest challenge lies in building programmable arrays( 排 列 )of twinkling dots on the soft fibers with diameters ranging from tens to hundreds of microns. Inspi

44、red by theweaving process, Peng s team found a solution by trial and error: the interweaving of the cross threads can naturally form a dot array similar to the array on a digital display screen.Peng believes that the new cloth could be used for many things. For example, it could help people with lan

45、guage barriers or disabilities better communicate. In one test, Peng s team monitored brainwaves from volunteers who had either been playing a game or relaxing. The waves were then translated into messages as “ anxious ” or “ relaxed ” and shown on the cloth. This could help hearing- impaired people

46、 “talk” to each other in the future.“ We hope that new materials will shape next generation electronic devices by changing the way we interact with them,” Peng told AFP.46.

47、onal communication tools. C. Its characterized by flexibility and stability.D. Its designed for people with physical disabilities.47. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A.

49、use of a new product.B. To predict the prospects of the new technology. C. To introduce a new way of communication.D. To inform readers of new research.50. Whats the main idea of this passage?A. A next generation electronic device has been developed.B. A “digital cloth” helps hearing-impaired people

50、 “talk” to each other.C. Shanghai researchers have developed a new type of textile with a display system.D. It has been a reality for people to use their clothes browse the internet and send messages.DCome to think of it, the balance between life and work is a strange ambition for a fulfilling life.

51、 Balance is about stillness: if our lives were ever in balance parents happy, kids taken care of, work working then our primary thought would be to shout “ Nobody move! ” and pray all would stay perfect forever. This false hope is made worse by the categories themselves. They imply that work is bad,

52、 and life is good. And so the challenge, we are told, is to balance the heaviness of work with the lightness of life.Yet work is not the opposite of life. It is instead a part of life just as family is, as are friends and community. All of these aspects of living have their share of uplifting moment

53、s and moments that drag us down. The same is true of work. Treat work the same way you treat life: by maximizing what you love.We have interviewed several anesthesiologists ( 麻 醉 师 ) about the thrills they feel in their jobs. One said he loved the thrill of holding each patient hovering at that one

54、precise point between life and death. Another said she loved the bedside conversations before the operation aiming to calm the panic that affects many patients. Another was drawn mostly to the anesthetic mechanism and has devoted himself to defining precisely how each drug does what it does.Think of

55、 your life s many different activities as threads. Some are black and some are white. But some of these activities appear to be made of a different substance. These activities contain all the signs of love: before you do them, you find yourself looking forward to them; while youre doing them, time s

56、peeds up and you find yourself in flow; and after you ve done them, you feel energetic. These are your red threads, and research by the Mayo Clinic suggests that doctors who weave the fabric of their life with at least 20% red threads are significantly less likely to experience burnout.The simplest

57、way for you to do this is to spend a week in love with your job. During the week, any time you find yourself feeling one of the signs of love, write down exactly what you were doing in the column “Love”. And any time you find yourself feeling the opposite, write down what you were doing in the colum

58、n “Dislike”. By the end of the week you will see a list of activities in your “Love” column, which create in you a positive feeling, one that draws you in and lifts you up.Our goal should be to, little by little, week by week, intentionally unbalance all aspects of our work toward the former and awa

59、y from the latter. Not simply to make us feel better, but so that our colleagues, our friends and our family can all benefit from us at our very best.51. The first paragraph is intended to _.A. introduce a topicB. list the facts and evidenceC. arouse readers interestD. present an argument52. What is

60、 the authors attitude towards work-life balance?A. Unclear.B. Neutral.C. Supportive.D. Disapproving.53. The author uses three anesthesiologists as examples to _.A. show people gain joy from their jobs in different situationsB. indicate doctors take pride in their workC. prove people benefit from wor

61、kD. imply doctors reduce the pressure of work successfully54. The underlined phrase “ red threads ” in the fourth paragraph refers to the activities which .A. require your effortsB. arouse your passionC. hurt your motivationD. suit your needs55. Which of the following does the author probably agree

62、with?A. Red threads are necessary for a balanced life.B. Recording activities leads to negative feelings.C. Find love in work instead of keeping work-life balance.D. Maximize what you love to remove the heaviness from work.第 II 卷（非选择题，共 35 分）第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回
