This kind of behavior always presupposes （以.为先决条件）a relationship between the donor and the rec

68、eiver, like a husband to his wife or a father to his son. So when a woman donated a kidney to a complete stranger, she surprised the world with her kindness.The story has a surprising start, in a public bus. Rex Scott is a bus driver and his wife, Valerie Scott, had been dealing with kidney disease

69、for 7 years. Her kidneys kept growing until they reached the size of footballs, gradually losing their function. “Only a transplant operation can save her,” Rex Scott told the reporters.Rex was not even supposed to be driving the day that he met his wifes saviour（救星）, Joyce Smith. When Joyce Smith b

70、oarded Rex s bus, she had been on a trip with her friend, Heather Musch. Musch was also in need of a kidney transplant and Joyce had volunteered to be her donor. Joyce spent a month preparing to become a possible donor. Unfortunately, Musch was not considered healthy enough to be a recipient （接受者）ye

71、t and the window was closing fast on Joyce s possibility of becoming a donor.That is all until Joyce and her friend were about to get off Rex s bus. Before he let us off the bus, he also said he took a kidney as a tip. If he had not made that joke, none of this would have happened,” Joyce Smith said

72、.Joyce was already fit to be a donor, but since her friend Musch could not receive her kidney, all her efforts seemed wasted. So when she heard Rex s joke, she knew that her opportunity to help somebody came. She had already made the decision to be a donor, whether it was her friend or someone else.

73、Para. 1: “My little son has benefited from the transplant operation and I want to pass the kindness on,” Joyce Smith said. _ _Para. 2: Whats crazier is that Joyce Smith was a perfect match for Valerie Scott. _ _江苏省南京市第十三中学20202021学年度高一年级第一学期教学质量调研（一）英语试题答案听力：1-5 CCBBA6-10 CBBAB11-15 ACABC16-20 AABCC

75、o tell the truth, I often struggle to get along with him. Recently we have argued with each other a great deal. He is anxious about his skin because it has started to become very oily, with lots of red spots. He is always angry these days and seems less confident. I keep telling him that these chang

76、es are normal, and that things will turn out just fine. Of course, I wanted to show my concern for his condition, so I asked him to see a doctor. But then he became angry and we had a big argument. He told me that I was putting even more press on him by talking about his spots all the time. In the e

What should I do?Best wishes,Mrs. Zhang读后续写范文Para.1: “My little son has benefited from the transplant operation and I want to pass

78、the kindness on,” Joyce Smith said. Joyces little son was a transplant recipient years ago. He got the gift of life in the form of a kidney transplant. “I want to do an act of kindness. I love this kind of action because it might make a total difference in the lives of others. It was my first act of

79、 kindness, and I really want to continue.” Joyce Smith added, smilingly.Para. 2: Whats crazier is that Joyce Smith was a perfect match for Valerie Scott. Usually, its hard to find the right match because you dont just need a willing donor. The donor and the receiver need to have the same blood type.

80、 Luckily, Joyce was a perfect match for Valerie Scott. More fortunate is that the operation was successful. Valerie Scott was becoming healthy slowly. The two strangers became life-long friends and developed a close relationship.听力材料(Text 1)W: What time does the bus leave?M: At ten past ten. Oh, Its
