Vijay Gupta is known to classical music lovers across the United States. He serves as first violinist for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In that job, he often plays to large crowds, including many very rich people. When he is not performing, he organizes concerts for homeless people. "They hav e reminded me why I became a musician”, he said.

Last week, Gupta was recognized for being a founder and the artistic director of Street Symphony. The group has performed at homeless shelters, jails and halfway houses for about eight years. Gupta is among the 25 winners of the 2018 MacArthur Fellowship, commonly known as the "genius grant." Each winner will receive $625,000 over five years to use as they wish. The money is coming from a private group, the John D. and Katherine T. MacArthur Foundation. It awards grants (补助金)to people whose work it considers exceptional and that "inspires hope in us all." Gupta said he got the idea

for Street Symphony while teaching Nathaniel Ayers, a trained musician whose mental illness led to homelessness.

The 31-year-old grant winner said he did not know yet how he would spend the money. He has been a performer since age seven and the award will give him "space to breathe, plan and look ahead."

Another winner is Rebecca Sandefur, an associate professor of sociology and law in the University of Illinois. The Associated Press says her research actively supports new ways to involve poor communities in the U.S. justice system.

47-year-old Sandefur created the first national mapping of civil legal aid providers. It shows which states had the financial resources to provide such aid and which did not. She also found that the cost of legal services is only one of the things preventing poor people from getting lawyers. Among the others are fears about

unfairness in the legal system. Sandefur noted that a lot of attention has been paid to problems with the criminal justice system, but more attention must be paid to the civil side of the law, which also affects millions of people.

24. Why did Gupta win the award?

A. For organizing a group playing for the homeless.

B. For performing for large crowds.

C. For his achievements in classical music.

D. For the friendship with Nathaniel Ayers.

25. What do we know about Mac Arthur Fellowship?

A. It is founded by the government.

B. It allows the winners to use the money freely.

C. It offers $625,000 to 25 winners in 2018.

D. It awards people who make great contributions to society.

26. What was the extraordinary thing that Sandefiir did?

A. She offered legal aids to the poor freely.

B. She made the legal system fairer.

C. She paid more attention to the criminal justice system.

D. She made it easier to get legal help for the poor.

27. Which can be the best title for the passage?

A. Vijay Gupta , an extraordinary violinist

B. The city homeless, in need of help

C. Grants winners, inspiring the poor

D. MacArthur Foundation, awarding exceptional work

C

The different parts of a health care system have different focuses. A hospital's stroke （中风）unit monitors blood flow in the brain. The cardiac unit is interested in that same flow, but through and from the heart. Each collection of equipment and data

4

is effective in its own field. Thus, like the story of blind men feeling an elephant, modern health care offers many separate pictures of a patient, but rarely a useful united one.

On top of all this, the instruments that doctors use to monitor health are often expensive, as is the training required to use them. That combined cost is too high for the medical system to scan regularly, for early signs of illness, so patients are at risk of heart disease or a stroke.

An unusual research project called AlzEye, run by Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, in cooperation with University College, London (UCL) , may change this. It is attempting to use the eye as a window through which signals about the health of other organs could be discovered. The doctors in charge of it, Siegfried Wagner and Pearse Keane, are studying Moorfields' database of eye scans, which offers a detailed picture of the health of the retina (视网膜).

The project will go a step further：with the information about other aspects of patients' health collected from other hospitals around England, doctors will be able to look for more accurate signs of disease through eye scans.

The Moorfields data set has lots of linked cases to work with--far more than any similar project. For instance, the UK Biobank, one of the world's leading collections of medical data about inpidual people, contains 631 cases of a "major cardiac adverse event". The Moorfields data contain about 12, 000 such. The Biobank has data on about 1, 500 stroke patients. Moorfields has 11,900. For the disease on which the Moorfields project will focus to start with dementia, the data set holds 15,100 cases. The only comparable study has 86.

Wagner and Keane are searching for patterns in the eye that show the emergence of disease elsewhere in the body. If such patterns could be recognized reliably, the potential impact would be huge.

28.Why does the author mention "the story of blind men feeling an elephant" in Paragraph 1?

A. To explain the limitation of modern health care.

B. To tell the similarity in various health care units.

C. To claim the ineffectiveness of our health care system.

D. To show the complexity of patients' pictures.

29. What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. The challenge of making advanced medical instruments.

B. The incomplete and costly health monitoring.

C. The inconvenience of modern health care service.

D. The high risk of getting a heart disease or a stroke

30.How does AlzEye work?

A. By thoroughly examining one's body organs.

B. By comparing the eye-scan data from different hospitals.

C. By helping doctors discover one's diseases of the eye

D. By identifying one's state of health through eye scans

31.What can be inferred about the Moorfields's project from Paragraph 5?

A. It improves the Moorfields' competitiveness in the medical field.

B. It makes the collection of medical data more convenient.

C. It takes advantage of abundantly available medical data.

D. It strengthens data sharing between the Moorfields and the Biobank.

D

A 2018 report found that food waste would increase by a third to 2. 1billion tons

by 2030. Beyond the cost of the waste itself，thrown-away food generates a gas that contributes to climate change.

Home delivery meal kits(盒)can reduce food waste by more than two-thirds，but

suppliers need to switch to reusable packaging to make them environmentally friendly.

Tailor-made meal kits cut waste by providing people with precise amounts of fresh ingredients(烹饪原料)for chosen recipes，meaning leftovers are minimized. But while the delivery services score well on reducing food waste，buying the same food ingredients

from the supermarket almost always saves energy overall simply because meal kits use so

much single-use packaging. The good news is that if people have meals that are tailored

for consumption，they won’t overbuy and have less food waste. They fine-tune the

amount of food to what they will actually eat.

Meal kits can reduce transport emissions(排放)if people go to the supermarket less frequently. If people only go and buy such goods as soap and toilet paper，they may

only have to visit once every couple of months. A delivery truck can carry meals for a

lot of people in the neighborhood. So dozens of car trips might be replaced with one

truck trip.

However,study found that even if delivery meal kits reduced food waste to zero，

they would still use up more energy overall than buying the same food from the

supermarket unless the energy used for the meal kit packaging was cut by a fifth. The packaging is a killer if it’s single-use and thrown away，which can make all the environmental benefits lost. But if the packaging can be reused，if it’s g lass

bottles，like in the old days,we can get some benefits.

32. What can we learn about home delivery meal kits?

A. They can cut down on daily expenses.

B. They will totally solve the problem of food waste.

C. They will benefit the environment with reusable packaging.

D. They can keep energy consumption to a minimum.

33. What does the underlined word "fine-tune"in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Attach.

e6687ca574c66137ee06eff9aef8941ea66e4b14pare.

C. Raise.

D. Adjust.

34. The author suggests carrying meals with a delivery truck to__________.

A. save more food

B. reduce transport emissions

C. shop only in the supermarket

D. shorten car trip distances

35. What’s the author’s attitude to meal kits?

A. Objective.

B. Unfavorable.

C. Supportive.

D. Indifferent.

I remember from a young age being attracted by the world around me. Whenever I observed my surroundings, I would always wonder about what they were made of. 36 After a little time had passed, this curiosity was developed by my high school

chemistry teacher, which was finally furthered as I got my doctor's degree in chemistry while I was at university. From that time on, I have continuously developed my understanding and have been working in the chemical industry. It has been a decade now

and my interest in chemistry has never dropped off. 37 And I have improved

my understanding in this field of study.

In this day and age, as a means to continuously increase an interest in the natural sciences in your child, labs are available that provide an ideal learning environment

for modern students. 38 In the lab, your children can do a great job of discovering this fascinating field of study. Designing a simple science project lab

with education in mind is possible with home chemistry labs that can be bought from respected colleges or universities.

Science jobs in these subjects are and will continue to be required by

industry and society.

39 One of the most important ways parents can help their children develop an interest in mathematics, science, and technology is by showing attitudes and values

that support learning. 40 The sooner the children begins to learn about a

field of study, the more prepared they will be to face the challenges that these

subjects might offer.

A. Instead, it has increased as I have continued to learn.

B. These days, you can make a home chemistry lab.

"Now, parents and students separate into two groups. You will be reunited at the

end of the campus tour. ”

Groups of incoming freshmen happily left their parents upon hearing this

announcement. I was less than thrilled about starting college, let alone leaving my

mother's side to tour the campus with other freshmen；I felt a little anxious.

We followed the senior tour guide. The other freshmen chatted and made casual

introductions as I dragged behind. How could I have believed I was ready for this ？

After all, it had only been a few months since I left the hospital. I was feeling

better for the first time in years. But college. . . ？

My thinking was interrupted by a sweet female voice, "Hi, I'm Jennifer. " "I'm

Lauren, "I replied. "Where do you prefer to live？ At home or on campus？ "she smiled.

"I'm not sure, "I said. "You should live on campus！It will be a lot of fun！ "she

said. Before I could reply, the tour guide announced it was time to create our

schedules and select the courses we wanted to take.

We crowded into the Student Activity Center. Three seniors handed out thick course

bulletins （课程公告）and forms that needed to be filled out. All around me, the sounds

of turning papers and writing sounded like those given by an alarm clock. Others seemed

to be moving through the process quickly but I hadn't even opened my course catalog

（目录）.

"Focus, "I told myself. "Just read through the catalog and find the courses you

like and a schedule that works. "Psychology A or B, Geology 101, English, History,

sections 1, 2, 3. . . The list went on and on.

I panicked and almost started to cry. How was I supposed to know how to complete

it？I was just relearning how to live in the real world, and they wanted me to make a

schedule. How I wished someone could help me.

Paragraph 1:

Soon,other freshmen were handing in their forms.

Paragraph 2:

Then, I felt a warm hand on my

shoulder.
