The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.‎ More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody(抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.‎ ‎“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, ‎ the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.‎ ‎“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.‎ Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.‎ ‎24. What do we know about James Harrison?‎ A. He saved 2.4 million poor people. ‎ B. He is to retire as a blood donor.‎ C. He is a very grateful blood donor. ‎ D. He donates blood nearly every day.‎ ‎25. What is the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph 4?‎ A. To state Harrison’s decision to continue donating blood.‎ B. To describe how Harrison’s donations come to an end.‎ C. To introduce some babies saved by Harrison’s blood.‎ D. To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.‎ ‎26. What can we infer from the passage about Harrison?‎ A. After his retirement, the Rh program will fail.‎ B. New donors are easy to find in a short time.‎ C. He continues to contribute to the Rh program.‎ D. His DNA is kept in a library for future study.‎ ‎27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. A Unique Man with a Rare Blood Type ‎ B. The Blood Saving Millions of Babies C. A Special Blood producer ‎ D. The Man with the Golden Arm C An experimental cleanup device called RemoveDEBRIS has successfully cast a net around a dummy (仿真的) satellite, imitating a technique that could one day collect spaceborne garbage.‎ The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration of space cleanup technology, experts told CNN. And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space.‎ Millions of pieces of junk are turning around in orbit, the result of 50 years of space travel and few regulations to keep space clean. At orbital speeds, even a small bit of paint crashing with a satellite can cause critical damage.‎ Various companies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into low-Earth orbit, already the most crowded area.‎ The RemoveDEBRIS experiment is run by a company and researchers led by the U. K.’s Surrey Space Center and includes Airbus, Airbus-owned Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. and France’s ArianeGroup.‎ Guglielmo Aglietti, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the debris can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10 meters long.‎ The RemoveDEBRIS satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the coming months, including testing navigation features that could help guide the satellite to a specific piece of debris.‎ There are still enormous barriers to clear before operational cleanup tasks are underway, he said, and the most discouraging is figuring out how to fund such projects.‎ Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the RemoveDEBRIS project, said “The challenge will lie in persuading the relevant authorities to sponsor these tasks.” Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDEBRIS will conduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in the most crowded orbits.‎ ‎28. What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite?‎ A. Disposing of space wastes. ‎ B. Demonstrating space technology.‎ C. Imitating a developing technique. ‎ D. Solving serious junk problems in space.‎ ‎29. How does the RemoveDEBRlS satellite work?‎ A. By throwing a net to take the junk from orbit.‎ B. By fastening it to the main satellite tightly.‎ C. By dragging satellites up to 10 meters long.‎ D. By targeting large pieces of junk carefully.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word “sponsor” in the last paragraph probably mean?‎ A. Accomplish. ‎ B. Support. ‎ C. Oppose. ‎ D. Provide.‎ ‎31. What’s the best title for the text?‎ A. A Critical Issue: Junk in Space ‎ B. How RemoveDEBRIS Is Developed ‎ C. Why the RemoveDEBRIS Satellite Is Invented D. Satellite Collects Space Junk for the First Time D A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?‎ Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining ‎ self-control, which is called the “out of sight, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.‎ The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.‎ Willpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱）to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.‎ The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year’s Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don’t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.‎ ‎32. From the studies in the passage we learn that .‎ A. people have unlimited self-control B. high motivation ensures one’s success C. willpower is hardly completely exhausted D. too many temptations often lead to failure ‎33. The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .‎ A. make use of B. run out of C. build D. increase ‎34. The author compares self –control to muscles .‎ A. to prove the long-term effect of willpower B. to show the significance of regular exercise C. to argue that self-control can he easily used up D. to explain the benefits of practicing self-control ‎35. To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?‎ A. “I will give up dessert and do exercise.”‎ B. “I will set three goals this new semester.”‎ C. “I will read an English novel every month.”‎ D. “I will keep myself from any temptation.”‎ 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。‎ Switching from childhood to adulthood can be challenging.___36___ Work on not acting like a child by managing your emotions.
