OrdinaryBWhen Sally Millsopp, 53, with her 17-year-old daughter, Eleanor, participated in Race for Life in 2019. She had no idea if she would get to see her mother Jennifer Earnshaw again, who was desperately ill with a form of lung cancer, but she encouraged the pair to take part in the event as she knew the fundraising would help others.They managed to make it back to her bedside just in time to show her the photographs. Jennifer, who was a former bead teacher, passed away the following day, aged 76.Ms Millsopp and her daughter are once again participating in the Race for Life on May 13 this year to the memory of Jennifer, and will be speaking on stage to inspire others."Mum was a selfless person. I knew she really wanted us to do Race for Life but it was hard not knowing if I would be there with her at the end. When we reached the finish line, Eleanor and I both felt elated that we'd done something so positive at such a sad time. We had a big hug and knew it was something Mum would be proud of," said Ms Millsopp.One in two people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer, but the good news is more people are surviving the disease now than ever before. Cancer Research UK's Race for Life, in partnership with Tesco, is an inspiring women-only series of 5k, 10k, Pretty Muddy and 1-liking events which raise millions of pounds every year to help beat cancer sooner by funding vital research.Gemma Turpin, Cancer Research UK's Norwich event manager, said, "We are very grateful to Sally and Eleanor for their story that highlights how special Race for Life is to people. By following them women in Norfolk can make a real difference in the tight against cancer. Money raised through Race for Life is helping beat over200 different types of cancer-that's why every step, every person and every penny raised counts.24. What do we know about Jennifer Earnshaw?A. She used to take part in Race for Life.B. She had a sense of social responsibility.C. She died without seeing Sally and Eleanor.D. She worried about her cancer's influence on Sally.25. What does the underlined word elated in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Really interested. B. Desperately tiredC. Extremely excited. D. Deeply embarrassed.26. What is the purpose of Paragraph 5?A.

What's the best title for the text?A. Running in memory of mother. B. Living life with a selfless heart.C. Joining the race to keep healthy. D. Struggling to survive from cancer.CIn 2019. more than 125,000 organs, mostly kidneys, were transplanted(移植)from one human being to another in the United States. But a lack of suitable donors means the supply of organs is limited. That has led researchers to study the question of how to build organs from the very beginning.One promising approach is to print them. Bio-printing originated in the early 2000s, when it was discovered that living cells could be sprayed through the nozzles(喷嘴)of printers without being damaged.Sichuan Revotek, a biotechnology company based in Chengdu, China, has successfully transplanted a printed section of artery(动脉)into a monkey. This is the first step in trials of a technique intended for use in humans. Similarly, Organovo, a firm in San Diego, California, announced that it had transplanted printed human-liver tissue into mice and that this tissue had survived and worked.Bio-printing can help with the development of other treatments. Organovo already offers its printed kidney and liver tissue for use in testing new drugs for effectiveness and safety. That should please animal rights activists, as such tests cut down on the number of animal trials. It should please drug companies, too-because the tissue being tested is human, the results obtained should be more reliable than those from tests on other species. With similar purpose in mind, L'Oreal, a French cosmetics firm, together with its team, is working on printing human skin. They intend to use it to test their products for side effects. Compared with older and slower technology, bio-printing will permit L'Oreal to grow much more, and also allow different skin types to be printed.The real prize of all this effort would be to print entire organs. For kidneys, Roots Analysis, a medical-technology consulting company, thinks that should be possible in about six years. Livers, which have a natural tendency to grow again, should also arrive a little bit soon. Hearts, with their complex inner shape, will take longer.28. Why do people start to consider printing organs?A. Because of poor quality of the organs. B. Because of shortage of donors.C. Because of lack of research. D. Because of limited technology.29. How does Revotek develop bio-printing technology?A. By testing bio-printed organs on patients. B. By developing liver tissue into a monkey.C. By transplanting a section of artery into mice.D. By transplanting a bio-printed organ into an animal.30. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. Animal rights activists hate bio-printing.B. Entire printed organs will be available soon.C. Bio-printing could be well received in society.D. L'Oreal prints human skin to improve the bio-technology.31. What does the passage want to tell us?A. Organ transplantation is difficult to achieveB. Medical progress improves people's life quality.C. Bio-printing tech contributes to building organs.D. Many countries are cooperating to develop bio-printing.DWorried about the loss of rainforests and the ozone layer(臭氧层)? Well, neither of those is doing any worse than a large majority of the 6,000 to 7,000 languages that remain in use on Earth. One half of the survivors will almost certainly be gone by 2050, while 40% more will probably be well on their way out. In their place, almost all humans will speak a small number of languages-Mandarin, English, Spanish.Linguists(语言学家)know what causes languages to disappear, but what's less often remarked is what happens on the way to disappearance: languages' vocabularies, grammars and expressive potential all disappear. "Say a community goes over from speaking a traditional Aboriginal(土著的)language to speaking a Creole," says Australian Nick Evans, a language experts, "you leave behind a language where there's very fine vocabulary for the landscape. All that is gone in a Creole. As speakers become less able to express the wealth of knowledge that has filled ancestors' lives with meaning over thousands of years, it's no wonder that communities tend to become weakened."Due to the huge losses, some linguists struggle against the situation. In England, Peter Austin heads a programme that has trained many documentary linguists in England as well as in language-loss hotspots such as West Africa and South America.However, not all approaches to the preservation of languages will be particularly helpful. Some linguists are boasting(自夸), for example, of more and more complicated means of recording languages: digital recording and storage, the Internet and mobile phone technologies. But these are encouraging the quick style of recording trip: fly in, switch on digital recorder, fly home, download to hard drive, and store gathered material for future research. That's not quite what some endangered-language experts have been seeking. Most vocal (直言不讳的)and untiring has been Michael Krauss from the University of Alaska. He has often complained that linguists are playing with technology research while most of their raw data is disappearing.Who is to blame? Linguists who go out into communities to study, document and describe languages, argue that theoretical linguists, like Noam Chomsky, who draw conclusions about how languages Work, have had so much influence that linguistics has largely ignored the continuing disappearance of languages.32. Why does the author mention rainforests and the ozone layer in Paragraph 1?A. To explain they are of great importance.B. To prove they have connection with language loss.C. To show anxiety about environmental issues is unfounded.D. To stress the public should be equally concerned about languages.33. What does Nick Evans say about Creole speakers?A. They can't express ideas which are part of their culture.B. Getting practical information causes problems for them.C. They have more potential to learn languages than most peopleD. Older and younger members of the community can't communicate.34. What has Michael Krauss pointed out?A. Linguists' popularity has decreased considerably.B. Linguists are failing to record languages before they die out.C. Linguists have made poor use of improvements in technology.D. Linguists' quick style of recording trip should be encouraged.35. What can be concluded from the text?A. By 2050 different languages will be developing well.B. Local languages are preserved perfectly in West Africa.C. Theoretical linguists may be to blame for the loss of languages.D. Noam Chomsky is fond of working in communities to research.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。In addition to being an important driver of personal health, optimism has been thought as one of the most important qualities of an innovative(创新的)leader. 36 Leaders who are too optimistic can actually reduce their team's morale(斗志)and productivity.
