Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain. ‎ Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain. ‎ Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, and then he operated on them. He made the monkeys' blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys' brains. When the brain’s temperature was 10°C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them. ‎ ‎4. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _______. ‎ A. the blood-cooling machine might break down B. the time is too short for doctors ‎ C. the patients are often too nervous D. the damage is extremely hard to fix ‎ ‎5. The brain operation was made possible mainly by _______. ‎ A. having the blood go through a machine B. lowering the brain’s temperature C. taking the blood out of the brain D. trying the operation on monkeys first ‎ ‎6. With Dr. White’s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _______. ‎ A. can keep the patient’s brain healthy B. can help monkeys do different jobs C. can last as long as 30 minutes D. can keep the brain’s blood warm ‎ ‎7. What is the right order of the steps in the operation?‎ a. send the cooled blood back to the brain b. stop the blood to the brain c. have the blood cooled down d. operate on the brain A. b, c, d, a B. a, b, c, d C. c, a, b, d D. c, b, d, a ‎ C ‎ Mike Miles hadn't had a stable job in years. He bounced around from one position to another, never sure when his last day would be. Sometimes, he lost a position with less than a day's notice. This wasn't due to a poor work ethic—from arriving early to staying late, Miles says he did everything he could to build a good relationship with employers. But because Miles had a criminal record, he was always cut loose when it came time to let staff go.‎ ‎ It wasn't until October 2015, nearly a decade after his release from prison, that a cousin told Miles about Lancaster Food Company, a local business that focuses on hiring people released from prison. Hoping this would clear up what felt like a thick cloud of uncertainty over his future, Miles submitted an application. He got an interview, and he then began a new job.‎ ‎ Miles' scenario is rare in Lancaster, where the poverty rate holds steady at 30%. This figure riled Charlie Crystle, Lancaster's co-founder and CEO. Crystle was raised in Lancaster but left in 1986 to purse a college degree and later, a career in technology. He co-founded four tech companies, one of which sold for millions of dollars back in 2000.‎ ‎ Crystle is skeptical that many of Lancaster's low-income residents can get started the way he did. He believes food production is a key way to meet former offenders who may lack a college ‎ degree. Lancaster produces products like bread. Nowadays the company is rapidly expanding; however, at just 16 full-time employees, including administration and owners, it doesn't lower the city's poverty rate.‎ ‎ Crystle says he wants to inspire other companies to rethink their current practices and start conversations around minimum wage and employment opportunities for everyone, including ex-offenders. Dan Jurman, who chairs the city's Commission to Combat Poverty, believes that Crystle's business is a great way to make this happen. "None of us can handle these issues alone, " he said.‎ ‎8. The purpose of the first paragraph is to show __________ .‎ ‎ A. the reason why Lancaster Food Company was founded ‎ B. a man's difficulty in living a stable life ‎ C. an increasingly competitive workplace ‎ D. a decrease in employment opportunities ‎ ‎9. What does the underlined word "riled" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Amused. B. Embarrassed. C. Annoyed. D. Discouraged. ‎ ‎10. What words can best describe Charlie Crystle according to the text?‎ ‎ A. Humorous, diligent and ambitious. B. Successful and socially responsible.‎ C. Outgoing, kind and considerate. D. Wealthy but a little bit greedy.‎ ‎11. In Dan Jurman's opinion, what is the biggest achievement of Lancaster Food Company?‎ ‎ A. It creates a stable environment for people.‎ B. It greatly increases employment opportunities.‎ ‎ C. It suggests an idea for fighting poverty.‎ ‎ D. It provides a way to handle ex-offenders.‎ D When you turn on the radio, you hear an advertisement. When you watch television, you hear and see an advertisement. If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find an advertisement. If you walk down the street, you see one advertising board after another. All day, every day, people who want to sell you something compete to catch your attention. As a result, advertisements are almost everywhere.  　　In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. Many TV stations, ‎ newspapers, magazines, radio stations are privately owned. The government does not give them money. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would not be these private businesses.  Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people have given different answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of “keeping your name before the public. ” And some people thought that advertising was “truth well told.” Now more and more people describe it in this way: Advertising is the paid, nonpersonal, and usually persuasive description of goods, services and ideas by identified sponsors (明确的出资者)through various media. 　　First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the advertisements we see, read, and hear over the various media. Second, advertising is nonpersonal. It is not face to face communication. Although you may feel that a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in reality, it is directed at large groups of people. Third, advertising is usually persuasive. Directly or indirectly it tells people to do something. All advertisements try to make people believe that the product, idea, or service advertised can do good to them. Fourth, the sponsor of the advertisement must be identified. From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a company, or an organization, or an individual. Fifth, advertising reaches us through traditional and nontraditional mass media. Included in the traditional media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films. Nontraditional media include the mail, matchbox covers, and billboards. 12. The existence of the privately owned mass media depends financially on        .       A. the audience B. the government                         C. their owners' families D. advertisements                   13. According to the passage, who are most probably paying for the advertisements?          A. Organizations. B. Individuals.                           C. Companies. D. All of the above.  14. Which of the following is considered nontraditional mass media?      A. The mail.       B. Magazines           C. Films.  D. Newspapers ‎15. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the features of ‎ advertisements is NOT ‎ true?     A. Advertising is meant for large groups of people.      B. Advertising tells people to do something directly or indirectly.      C. The sponsors are always mentioned in the advertisements. ‎ ‎ D. Advertising must be honest and amusing.  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。‎ A garden that’s just right for you Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 16 .

Why are ‎ so many people riding bicycles to work? They have different reason for it. First, bicycles do not use up any fuel. Therefore, they cost less than other means of transport. Besides, bicycles do not need many space on the road, and it is easily to find a place for them. And everybody knows that riding a bicycle is healthy sport. When people drive their cars to work or shop, they lost the chance to exercise, but the waste gas from the cars will pollute the air. And moreover, people feel annoying when looking for a parking lot in the busy city center. So I prefer riding a bicycle to drive a car.
