11、he act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry or cry.

19、earth. This blanket is trapping heat in the atmosphere, and so raising the temperature of the earth.In Europe, eight of the last ten years have seen record high temperatures. On the other hand, the countries around the Mediterranean Sea are receiving even less rain than before. In Sub- Saharan Afric
20、a the crops are drying out in the fields and people are dying of starvation. In 1999, the southern United States was struck by a serious of destructive hurricanes. Scientists expect such trends to continue, and to worsen, if global warming cannot be stopped.In addition to worrying about rising globa
21、l temperatures and extreme weather conditions, scientists are closely monitoring sea levels around the world. They are slowly rising, as the northern and southern polar ice caps start to melt. This will have serious consequences for low-lying countries near the sea. Already parts of these places are
22、 disappearing under the rising sea water.According to a new research, one contradictory feature of global warming is that it will probably lead to a period of much colder weather. Scientists base their theory on what happened the last time the world warmed up, 8,300 years ago. They have discovered t
23、hat when the ice melted from the northern polar ice cap it became trapped in a lake in northern Canada. As more ice melted, this lake suddenly burst open, pouring millions of tons of freezing fresh water into the North Atlantic. This flood of water prevented the normal flow of water in the Atlantic,
24、 which takes warm water from the tropics (热带地区) north to Europe. When this flow of warm water was cut off, temperatures in Europe dropped by between three and eight degrees over the next 200 years. Thats the concern here, says Richard Alley, an American climate expert. The climate hasnt varied much

27、ate change will bring more disasters.B. Global warming is likely to produce a colder climate.C. Global warming will continue for the next two centuries.D. Global climate will remain unchangeable in the next 8, 000 years.DOver a four-year period, Swiss researchers have developed a machine that can ke
28、ep human livers (肝) alive outside of the body for one week.Livers are among the most commonly transplanted (移植) human organs. Current technology can only keep human livers alive for up to 24 hours. It is reported that, in 2017, about 8, 000 liver transplants were performed in the U.S., of which 360
29、used livers from living givers. In addition, about 11,500 people were registered on a waiting list to receive a liver transplant. Keeping livers alive and functioning for longer periods could greatly improve the chances of survival for patients.The researchers say the purpose of their “Liver4Life” m
30、achine is to perform what they call liver perfusion (灌注) operations outside of the human body. Perfusion is the process by which blood or other liquids are pumped through organs and tissue. The machine keeps the liver at the right temperature and moves it in a way that would be natural in the body.
31、Using a pump to fill the liver with blood acting like a human heart, the machine also provides oxygen to the organ, controls red blood cell levels and removes waste.The research team began their experiments with livers from pigs. After repeated testing and engineering development, they succeeded in
32、getting the pig livers to survive for seven days with support only provided from the Liver4Life machine. They also discovered the system can work to repair damaged livers. The team is now planning its next step to transplant machine-treated organs into patients.Pierre-Alain Clavien, leader of the re
33、search, said in a statement. “This technology will greatly increase the number of livers available for transplant, improving the chances of survival for patients. The success of this unique machine opens the way for many new applications in transplantation and cancer medicine.”12. What does the auth

35、it” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The machine.B. The liver.C. The temperature.D. The tissue.14. What can we learn about the Liver4Life machine?A. It is among the most commonly used machines for liver transplants.B. It is aimed to carry out liver perfusion operations in the human body.C. It can perform
36、several functions to keep the liver working normally.D. It can be used to keep the pig livers alive for more than one week.15. Where is this text most likely from?A. A biology textbook.B.

37、,选项中有两项为多余项。Eyes can speakMuch meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. 16 In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he senses that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.The same is true in our daily life. If you ar
38、e stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. 17 Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. 18 If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his
39、 intentions are obvious.

40、eaking. 19 If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim.
