2020届二轮复习阅读理解专项训练（8）

‎2020届二轮复习阅读理解专项训练（8）‎ 阅读理解（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）‎ 请阅读下列短文，从短文后各题每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，请在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎1‎ When you throw something in the trash, soon a garbage truck will come to take it away. Then where does it go? That depends on where you live. Different towns deal with trash in different ways.‎ Recycling A recycling truck picks up paper, cardboard, metal, plastic and glasses. These ‎ go to the recycling plant to be sorted and made into new things.‎ Incinerator An incinerator is a huge stove that burns trash to make heat and electricity. The ash that's left gets buried in a landfill. Trash ash can be poisonous, so it has to be stored carefully. But it takes up a lot less room than just plain trash.‎ Compost Food waste might go to a composter. In a compost heap (堆肥堆), bacteria and worms break down dead plants and old food. They turn it into good, rich oil. Some people keep compost heaps in their gardens. Big commercial composters handle waste from restaurants and farms.‎ Landfills Some trash gets buried in landfills. A landfill starts as a big hole. Trucks dump trash. Big earth movers push it into place and crush it down. They cover the trash with dirt to keep scavengers (食腐动物) away. The bottom of a landfill is lined with a barrier to keep bad things from leaking into the ground.‎ Pipes drain away liquid. When the landfill is full, it's covered with earth. It might become a park or lawn.‎ ‎56. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Recycling helps to generate energy.‎ B. Bacteria and worms help handle food waste.‎ C. The landfill is used to drive scavengers away.‎ D. Trash ash is carefully handled to save room.‎ ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】考查细节理解题。这篇文章讲的是垃圾处理的四种方法。A 选项对应第一个小标题，讲到了回收的钢铁、塑料、玻璃等会被制成新的东西而不是 generate the energy“产生能量”，故 A 错。B 选项对应小标题 Compost 下的第二句话，完全符合文章，故正确。C 选项对应最后一个小标题 Landfill，第五句话“They cover the trash with dirt to keep scavengers away.”用泥土覆盖垃圾再填埋以此赶走食腐动物。与 C 选项表达的“陆地填埋是用来驱赶食腐动物的”。两句话概念变了，不相等。D 选项“垃圾灰被仔细处理是为了节约空间”。从第二个小标题Incinerator最后两句话我们可知：垃圾灰有毒需要仔细分类，但是它比普通垃圾的占地空间小很多。选项表述的目的错了，故 D 错。故选B。‎ ‎57. What's the purpose of the passage?‎ A. To inform us of trash treatment.‎ B. To appeal for trash classification.‎ C. To discuss solutions to trash pollution.‎ D. To raise awareness of the harm of trash.‎ ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】考查写作目的题。根据表格第一段最后一句话 Different towns deal with trash in different ways.(不同的城市有不同的处理垃圾的办法)以及表格中加粗的四个小标题，Recycling（循环），Incinerator（焚烧），Compost（堆肥）以及 Landfills（填埋）可知，这篇文章是在向读者介绍四种垃圾处理的方法，故选 A。B 选项是说要呼吁垃圾分类，但是这篇文章明显是客观地介绍垃圾处理的方法，而选项的陈述偏主观；C 选项是说要讨论解决垃圾污染的应对方法， trash pollution 这一点在文章中没有体现；D 选项说要让市民意识到垃圾的危害，这个选项同 B 选项一样是主观的表述，除此之外，the harm of trash 在文章中也没有体现。‎ ‎【点评】本次 A 篇阅读考查的是应用文，主要介绍了 4 种处理垃圾的方式。文本简单，少生词，结合图片也很容易看出四种处理方式：垃圾回收、垃圾焚烧、垃圾堆肥、垃圾填埋。题目相对而言比较容易，第 56 道题是多细节题，很容易定位到关键句；第 57 题写作目的题，通过对文章的理解以及排除很容易锁定答案。‎ ‎2‎ Your first big-screen experience is likely to have been Disney productions---whether we are talking about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Frozen---that have long been considered safe, healthy choices for kids, and pictures that parents can feel they don't need to screen in advance.‎ When you are a big person, a movie seen in a theatre is much larger than life; when you're a little person, it can be like a new entry opening in the universe. Those experiences matter, and Disney knows the power---and the profit potential---of what's in its values, which helps explain the studio's ongoing strategy of remaking its most popular animated films, often in live-action versions.‎ How do you feel about director's interpretation of these movies, a combination of live-action filmmaking techniques, virtual-reality methods and computer-generated imaginary, depends largely on how you feel about the original. The stories, even with a gently updated scrip, are roughly the same. If you’ve seen the original, you know how the rest of them go.‎ In the following years, we'll also watch other Disney's remakes such as Mulan. Any children raised by Disney films would think that this is a great time to be alive. Right?‎ But judging by critics' ratings of some live-action movies, it seems that the powerful studio has been unable to wow audiences.‎ So why more live actions?‎ The money Let's face it: Walt Disney Pictures is all about generating more revenue. Even though it did not manage to capture critics, it still managed to catch the audience's hearts. And that is more than enough. After all, films are not made to entertain critics; it's all about creating an ultimate cinematic experience for casual moviegoers. And as long as they’re entertained with new interpretations of beloved stories, why stop making live-action films?‎ Inclusion When you spend your entire childhood dancing and singing along to these characters, it's beyond magical to see them again when you' re an adult and are the same age as them. That's one of the few magical effects of movies. Not to mention, Aladdin's South Asian cast is also a strong statement for the world. Perhaps this is also the reason why Disney wants Mulan to have an all Asian cast. Let's hope they're not the only ones and Disney is bringing more diverse stories to be ‎ told.‎ Nostalgia (怀旧)‎ Al of these Disney remakes are designed to fuel the nostalgia of boomers, Gen X-ers and millennials, and many of the moviegoers who grew up with these movies, in particular, now have young kids of their own. Little wonder the studio is seeing big dollar signs in them.‎ ‎58. Disney productions are parents' first choice for kids because they _____ .‎ A. promote children’s overall heath B. don't need booking in advance C. don't need a screen to enjoy them D. have been enjoying a good reputation ‎【题源】https://time.com/5624607/the-lion-king-live-action-review/‎ ‎【答案】: D ‎【解析】考查细节理解题。定位到原文中第一段第一句，“... Disney productions…that have long been considered safe, healthy choices for kids.”意思是说迪士尼电影对孩子们来说是安全健康的选择。这句说明长久以来迪士尼都是享有很高的声誉，与 D 选项相符合。A 选项中的promote 文中没有提到；B 选项中的book in advance (提前预定)文中没有提到，文中仅说了不需提前审查；C选项意为不需要通过大屏幕去观看，与文意不符，并且需要注意原文中的“don’t need to screen”中的“screen”意为“审查”。故选 D。‎ ‎59. Your feeling about the live action films remade mainly relies on _____.‎ A. the filmmaking technology B. the popularity of the films C. the familiarity with the story line D. the computer-generated imaginary ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】考查细节理解题。定位到原文中第二段第一句，“How do you feel about director’s interpretation of these movies, … depends largely on how you feel about the original.”意思是说：你对导演对于这些电影的呈现方式的感觉，很大的取决于你对原作的感觉。而第二句“The stories, even with a gently updated script, are roughly the same.”进一步表示：这些故事，即便有轻微的更新，跟之前也是差不多相似的，所以 C 选项，依靠对故事线的熟悉，是符合的。A 选项：电影制作的技术和 D 选项：电脑生成的虚幻，文中有提到，但不是取 决于此；B 选项：电影的流行，属无中生有。故选 C。‎ ‎60. In the author's opinion, what could be the main reason for Disney's more live actions?‎ A. It's trying its best to satisfy both critics and audience.‎ B. It's sparing no efforts to earn as much revenue as possible.‎ C. It's seeking and adding global elements to make diverse stories.‎ D. It's bringing back those sweet memories to its loyal aging fans.‎ ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】考查细节理解题。选项 A 定位在倒数第三段的第一行 “Even though it did not manage to capture critics”，尽管他并没有成功俘获那些批评的人。所以选项 A 说“他让观众和批评的人都满意”是错误的。选项 B 定位在倒数第三段第一行 “Walt Disney Pictures is all about generating more revenue” 沃尔特·迪斯尼影业（Walt Disney Pictures）旨在创造更多收入。B 选项符合，并且最主要原因肯定是跟经济有关，故答案为 B。C 选项定位在倒数第二段倒数第二行 “Perhaps this is also the reason why ….. cast. Let’s hope they’re not the only ones and Disney is bringing more diverse stories to be told.”可知迪斯尼仅仅包含亚洲故事，全世界的故事并没有包含在内，所以 C 选项错误。D 选项定位在最后一段，选项为“给忠实观众带来美好的回忆”，但是原文最后一段句意为“迪士尼营销者旨在激起以前观众的怀旧之情”并没有强调给他们带来美好回忆。故 D 选项错误。故选 B。‎ ‎【点评】：本次 B 篇属于说明文，主要阐述了迪士尼制作影片的特点，并说明其制作电影的主要目的。三道均为细节题，答案相关语句都能够较容易地在文章中定位到，从而准确快速地找出正确答案，或用排除法也可以轻易选出。B 篇整体难度较小，与今年一模和去年高考 B 篇难度相当。‎ ‎3‎ Pinocchio may be just a children's fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so-called“Pinocchio effect" and found that our noses don't grow when we tell alie, but actually shrink a bit.‎ Dr Emilio Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector testthat used thermography to tell if people were lying, and found thatwhenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tips of their noses dropped up to 1.2C, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5C. Scientists also found that drop in temperature at nose level ‎ actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye.‎ ‎"One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead," Dr. Gómez Milán explained the findings. “At the same time we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose."‎ For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by thermal imaging technology. One of these tasks involved calling a3 to 4 minutes call to their parents, partner or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to devise the lie themselves during the call, and the thermal cameras picked up this “reverse Pinocchio effect" caused by the fluctuation (起伏) in temperature in the nose and forehead.‎ Interestingly, the thermal lie detector picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector.‎ ‎“With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy and reduce the occurrence of "false positives', something that is frequent with other methods such as the polygraph (测谎仪),”said Dr. Emilio Gómez Milán, who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.‎ The thermal lie detector has been the most reliable in the world, 10% more than the popular polygraph.‎ ‎61. Why does the author mention "Pinocchio" at the beginning?‎ A. To tell a fairy story. B. To warn us not to lie.‎ C. To introduce a research. D. To inspire us to doubt old beliefs.‎ ‎【题源】http://www.dailynews.lk/2018/11/21/tc/169008/reverse-pinocchio ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】考查推理判断题。文章通过匹诺曹的例子引出文章的主要内容，研究发现：撒谎并不是使鼻子变长，而是使鼻子变小。C 介绍一个研究，正确。文中未具体讲述这个故事，排除 A 选项；文章主旨与警告我们不要说谎无关，属于“无中生有”，排除； B 选项；启发我们质疑旧的观点，匹诺曹本是童话故事，而不是老旧观点，排除 D 选项。故选C。‎ ‎62. According to the research, what might happen if you tell a lie?‎ A. Your nose gets longer. B. Your nose becomes smaller.‎ C. Your temperature gets higher. D. Your temperature remains stable.‎ ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】考查细节理解题。定位到第二段，研究人员研究的结果：Scientists also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink…研究人员发现鼻子温度的下降实际上能够引起鼻子轻微的收缩。故选B。‎ ‎63. What can we learn about the research?‎ A. Researchers conduct the study by interviewing.‎ B. Researchers design different lies for participants.‎ C. The thermal lie detector will prove a popular one.‎ D. The thermal lie detector may assists law enforcement.‎ ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】考查推理判断题。A 项里的 “by interviewing”是错的，该研究不是通过采访来进行的而是通过做实际的实验来进行的；第四段中说“One of these tasks involved calling a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents, partner, or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to devise the lie themselves…”,从这里只能推断出他们被要求撒的谎是让他们自己设计的，但至于每个人的内容一不一样没有说，可能一样，也可能不一样。所以 B 项的内容是无法推断出的；文章最后一段说该测谎仪已经是最靠谱的了，超过了目前最流行的测谎仪10%，但是 C 项说法popular 文中没有体现；文章倒数第二段最后一句话说“….law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.”未来执法人员们可以将这项技术与其他的测谎技术结合会得到更好的结果，所以 D 项说法符合。故选D。‎ ‎64. Which might be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Will lie detectors tell the truth?‎ B. Will lying make your nose longer?‎ C. Will lying make your temperature rise?‎ D. Will thermal imaging technology be reliable?‎ ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】考查主旨大意题。文章开始以匹诺曹为例引出话题，即所谓的是否说谎会让鼻子变长。然后导入至最近的研究发现，并非鼻子变长，而是鼻子会缩小。之后就研究的原理，操作方法和实验对象进行进一步地阐述说明。最后还提到了由这一原理研发的热度测谎仪。综上，结合标题的趣味性，故选 B。‎ ‎【点评】：本次 C 篇的文体是说明文，相较于去年二模 C 篇谈论“footsteps”这样抽象的 话题，今年的话题相对于学生来说更加熟悉，文章整体理解难度和题目的难度都不大。文章首先从很熟悉的匹诺曹的故事作为引入，然后通过测试人在撒谎情况下的不同表现来介绍热成像仪测谎器的作用。本篇阅读题理解上相较于去年二模和一模较易，前三道题都可以定位原文和推断速度得出答案，最后的主旨大意题要注意选择标题的趣味性。‎ ‎4‎ For people moving to Australia, Price (2001) has identified certain values which may give riseto cultural shock. Firstly, he argues that Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or course tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they work out which one is the best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take action if something goes wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.‎ Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believe there is one truth. This means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend the reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.‎ Price also comments that Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealize the idea of treating everyone equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first names. This concern with equality means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are even ready to joke about themselves.‎ Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As aconsequence, some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study.‎ Australian concepts of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and relationships are only discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such information,they may dislike someone actually asking them unless the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to ask someone what they earn. With older people, it is also rude to ask how old they are, why they are not married or why they do not have children. It is also impolite to ask people how much they have paid for something unless there is a very good reason for asking.‎ Kohls (1996) describes cultural shock as a process of change marked by four basic stages.During the first stage, the new arrival is excited to be in a new place, so this is often ‎ referred to asthe "honeymoon" stage. Like a tourist, they are interested in all the new sights and sounds, newsmiles and tastes of their surroundings. They may have some problems, but usually they accept them as just part of the novelty (新奇事物). At this point, it is the similarities that stand out, and it seems to the newcomer that people everywhere and their way of life are very much alike. This period of euphoria may last from a couple of weeks to a month, but the letdown is inevitable.‎ During the second stage, known as the “rejection" stage, the newcomer starts to experiencedifficulties due to the differences between the new culture and the way they were accustomed toliving. The initial enthusiasm turns into annoyance, frustration, anger and depression, and thesefeelings may cause people to reject the new culture so that they notice only the things that causethem trouble, which they then complain about. In addition, they may feel homesick, bored,withdrawn during this period as well.‎ Fortunately, most people gradually learn to adapt to the new culture and move on to the third stage, known as “adjustment". During this stage a transition occurs to a new optimistic attitude. As the newcomer begins to understand more of the new culture, things make more sense and the culture seems more familiar. As a result, they begin to develop problem-solving skills, and feelings of disorientation (迷失方向) and anxiety no longer affect them.‎ In Kohls's model, in the fourth stage, newcomers undergo a process of adaptation. They have settled into the new culture, and this results in a feeling of direction and self-confidence. They have accepted the new food, drinks, habits and customs and may even find themselves enjoying some of the very customs that bothered them so much previously. In addition, they realize that the new culture has good and bad things to offer and that no way is really better than another, just different.‎ ‎65. According to Paragraph 1, teachers may expect students to _____in class in Australia.‎ A. obey teachers' instructions B. ask for advice when necessary C. have a discussion with partners freely D. explore possible solutions by themselves ‎【题源】https://mini-ielts.com/932/view-solution/reading/australian-culture-and-culture-shock ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】考查细节理解题。【新东方个性化高中英语】认为本题主要考查学生对相关信息的定位能力以及句子转换能力；题干问的是，“根据第一段，澳大利亚的老师希望学生在课堂上…？”由此，定位第一段，根据文章第一段第二行”This means that a …”,以及第一段最后一句 “…if something goes wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves”得知，澳大利亚老师鼓励学生遇到问题时自己寻找答案，故选 D。‎ ‎66. Which of the following might most Australians agree with?‎ A. Be just to all, but trust none.‎ B. Truth never fears investigation.‎ C. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.‎ D. Share joy is double joy and sorrow half sorrow.‎ ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】考查推理判断推断题。根据文章第四段可知，澳大利亚人相信生活应是要工作和休闲之间得到一种平衡；从而可以得出，C 选项中的“只工作不玩耍，聪明的孩子也变傻” 与题意相符；A 选项“要对一切人都公正,但不要对一切人都信任”在原文中并未提及；B 选项中的“事实从不怕调查”以及 D 选项中“和别人分享快乐就会感到双倍的快乐，和别人分担痛苦就会感到一半的痛苦”偏离重点，文中并未提及。故选C。‎ ‎67. What does the underlined word "euphoria” in Paragraph 6 mean?‎ A. Excitement. B. Confidence. C. Frustration. D. Conflict.‎ ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】考查词义猜测题。划线词的这个段落描述的是外来者进入新的文化经历的第一个阶段，整个段落描写的基调都是在说外来者对这个文化感到很新奇，感到很有趣。故选择 A。‎ ‎68. According to Kohls, if an exchange student from China has managed to host a summer Christmas event though he felt a bit awkward, he might be in Stage _____.‎ A. Four B. Three C. Two D. One ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】考查推理判断题。根据题干，可以定位到最后四段的这四个阶段。其中第一个阶段是“honeymoon stage”，在这个阶段中，新的到来者也许会遇到很多困难和问题，但是他们对这个新环境充满了好奇和兴趣；第二个阶段是“rejection stage”，这一阶段，人们由一开始的热情变为沮丧和抱怨，甚至开始想家；第三个阶段是“adjustment stage”，人们开始找到解决问题的办法，并且迷茫和焦虑不再能够影响到他们；第四个阶段是“adaptation”，已经适应 和接纳了新环境，也开始正确地认识文化碰撞。题干的意思是交换生成功举办了一届夏季圣诞节活动，尽管有一些尴尬。说明他找到了解决这份尴尬的办法。所以是第三阶段。故选 B 。‎ ‎69. In which column might this article appear?‎ A. Intercultural Communication. B. International Education.‎ C. Global Business. D. Leisure Guide.‎ ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】考查文章出处题。根据题干“这篇文章可能出自什么专栏”，可知这道题主要考察考生对于文章主旨的把握。题目当中 A 选项意为跨文化交际；B 选项为国际教育；C 选项为全球商务；D 选项为休闲指南。根据文章主旨可知这篇文章主要讲解澳大利亚的相关文化，以及人们进入到一个新的文化环境当中经历的四个时期。故选 A。‎ ‎70. According to the passage, what is the right attitude towards cultural shock?‎ A. When in a new culture, hold on to our own.‎ B. When in a new culture, accept the good things.‎ C. When facing difference in a new culture, accept it.‎ D. When feeling uncomfortable in a new culture, neglect it.‎ ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】考查推理判断题。题干问的是，“根据文章，对待文化冲击的正确态度是什么？”文中讲到 Kohl 讲文化冲击的发展分为四个阶段，分别是“蜜月”“排斥”“调整”“适应”这四个阶段。文章最后一句也说了“新的文化包含好的东西，也包含不好的东西，没有哪种文化是比另一种文化要更好的，只是不同而已”所以，当面对文化冲击，文章没有说要接受新的文化中好的东西或者忽视新的文化中坏的东西，而是我们要接受新的文化中的不同。故选 C。‎ ‎【点评】D 篇是一篇议论文，内容是关于文化冲击。【新东方个性化高中英语】认为本次一模 D 篇难度低于 2020 一模 D 篇阅读，与 2019 高考试卷 D 篇难度相对较低。65 是细节题，根据题干关键词就可以轻松定位到关键句以及关键段，适当进行信息转化并利用排除法即可得出答案。66，67， 68 是推断题，66 需要理解选项意义进行推测，67 需要根据词汇所在段落的意思来猜测词义，68 则需要理解四个阶段具体的内容推断题干所属阶段，据此即可得出答案。‎ ‎5‎ The Best Time to Visit Sydney If you prefer the cold to heat，especially if seeking to escape the northern summer，the best time to visit Sydney could be in the Australian winter from June 1 to August 31.‎ The Sydney winter isn’t really harsh and the weather’s generally pleasant.It’s great for touring the city on foot and for bushwalking.And the ski slopes are not too far away.‎ Holiday time You get the Queen’s Birthday holiday weekend in June and the school holidays in July.Aside from within those periods，accommodation costs in the city will generally be lower.‎ Winter weather Expect generally cool conditions.The average temperature should range from around 8℃(46) at night to 16℃(61) in the daytime in midwinter.Expect from 80mm to 131mm of rain in a month，with the most rain in June tapering into August.‎ Winter accommodation Outside of the holiday periods，Sydney accommodation will usually be available and should be relatively cheaper.‎ Winter activities ‎·The weather’s fine for a walking tour of Sydney.Visit the Rocks，the Sydney Opera House，the Royal Botanic Gardens，Art Gallery of New South Wales，Australian Museum，Hyde Park，Chinatown，Darling Harbour.‎ ‎·Go on a harbor cruise.At the very least，take a Sydney ferry and cross the harbor to Manly.‎ ‎·Take a day trip north，south and west of Sydney.‎ ‎·Spot the whales as they travel north in the whale migration season.‎ ‎·Go bushwalking at the Royal National Park.‎ ‎36.

A global trial of the drug found it reduced the risk of bleeding deaths during childbirth by nearly one-third. The study involved 20,000 women in 21 countries, mainly in Africa and Asia. The trial was carried out by London's School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The drug is called d tranexamic acid (氨甲环酸). It is low-cost and researchers said it does not cause serious side effects for mothers or babies.‎ The drug is used to treat mothers for severe bleeding during childbirth, also known as postpartum hemorrhage (产后出血).It is the leading cause of mother’s death worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.‎ Haleema Shakur is the project director of the trial. She says despite medical advances in many countries, severe bleeding after childbirth remains a big problem in some parts of the world. “It's one of the biggest killers of mothers. In Africa and Asia. about 10 percent of women will end up with severe bleeding. " The drug works by stopping blood clots(血凝块) from breaking down after a mother gives birth. The treatment can prevent the need for doctors to perform surgery to find the source of bleeding.‎ Shakur said the best results were reported when the drug was given to women as soon as possible after childbirth, “The earlier you give it- so within the first three hours of giving birth—the better the effect is. ”‎ The next step will be to get the drug where it is needed provide training for doctors and nurses on how to use it. During the trial, women were given the drug in a hospital. But researchers are ‎ looking for easier ways to administer the drug so it can be more widely used in small clinics and rural areas.‎ ‎41. Tranexamic acid is a drug that________ .‎ A. should be used for every mother B. helps mothers before giving birth C. ensures most new-born babies’ health D. can help mothers giving birth stop bleeding ‎42. What is the reachers’ next plan?‎ A. To know how much the drug is.‎ B. To get permission to use the drug.‎ C. To let more people know the drug.‎ D. To make medical staff know how to use the drug.‎ ‎43. What can we learn from the text?‎ A. The more mothers use the drug, the better its effect is.‎ B.

I was also told that 72 percent of this dealership’s first-time visitors returned for a second visit.‎ I was curious. How does a car dealership get 72 percent of its first-time visitors to return? And how can they sell six to eight cars a day in a declining car market?‎ When I walked into Saturn of Albuquerque that Friday, the staff there didn’t know me from Adam; yet they shared with me their pricing policy, the profit margin on every model, and staff income. They even opened their training manuals for my review and invited me back on Saturday if I wanted more information.‎ On Sunday, the day after my second visit to the Saturn store, my wife, Jane, and I were walking as we frequently do. On this particular June morning, Jane gently slipped her hand in mine and said tenderly, ＂I don’t know if you remember, but today’s my fifth anniversary of being cancer-free.＂ I was surprised, partially because I was embarrassed that I had forgotten and, partially because.... Well, I didn’t know what to do with Jane’s information.‎ The next day, Monday, Jane went off to work teaching school. Still not knowing what to do to mark this special occasion, I did the most impetuous thing I’ve ever done in my life: I bought a new ‎ Saturn. I didn’t pick the color or the model, but I paid cash and told them I’d bring Jane in on Wednesday at 4:30. I told them why I was buying the car.‎ On Tuesday, it dawned on me that Jane always wanted a white car. I called the sales consultant at Saturn, and I asked him if he had anything white in the store. He said he had one left but he couldn’t guarantee it’d still be available on Wednesday at 4:30 because they were selling so fast. I said I’d take my chances and asked him to put it in the showroom.‎ Wednesday came. Unexpectedly, someone in our family was admitted to the hospital. So, it wasn’t until 9:30 Saturday morning when we finally made our way to the Saturn store. Jane had never been in a Saturn store. When we went through the front door, the Lord took control of her feet and her mouth. She saw that little white Saturn coupe all the way across the showroom floor. She quickly passed a multi-colored sea of automobiles, sat in the little white Saturn and said, ＂Oh, what a pretty little car. Can I have a new car?＂ I said, ＂No. Not until our son graduates from college.＂ She said, ＂I’m sick and tired of driving that old Dodge, I want a new car.＂ I said, ＂I promise, just three more semesters and he’ll be out.＂‎ Next, Jane walked around to the front of the car. As she looked it over, she let out the most blood-curdling, shrill scream I’d ever heard in 29 years of marriage.‎ Now, before I tell you why Jane screamed, let me tell you what the sales consultant had done. He had ordered a large, professionally engraved sign (white letters on blue). The sign stood alone on the hood of the little white Saturn coupe. It said ＂Congratulations, Jane. This car is yours. Five years cancer-free. Let’s celebrate life. From Team Saturn＂ Every employee at Saturn of Albuquerque had signed the back of that sign.‎ Jane saw it, screamed, collapsed in my arms and cried loudly. I didn’t know what to do. I was in tears. I took out my invoice (发票) from the previous Monday, pointing to the white coupe, said, ＂No, honey, this car isn’t yours. I bought you this one.＂ I tapped the invoice with my index finger. Jane said, ＂No, I want this one right here.＂‎ While this conversation was going on, there was no one in the store. The sales consultant had arranged it so that we could share the moment alone. Even so, it’s impossible to have a lot of privacy when so many people are standing outside the showroom windows looking in. When Jane screamed and collapsed in my arms, I saw everybody outside applaud and begin to cry.‎ ‎45. Why did the writer visit the Saturn of Albuquerque that Friday?‎ A.
