He finally admitted that he had fallen ill with ALS(渐冻症), since October 2018 after constant research. ALS is a disease that gradually blocks the connection between brain and body. People with ALS become partially paralyzed, leading to respiratory (呼吸系统的) failure.‎ While working with handicapped legs, his wife was confirmed to get infected with the virus after working in another hospital. The bad news brought him to his knees, and he cried for the first time after the virus broke out. Zhang could only find time to visit his wife three days after she got admitted to the hospital. Even then he could only stay for 30 minutes. Fortunately, the good news came that his wife had recovered ten days later after treatment.‎ But Zhang continues working tirelessly, and though it's a struggle to move quickly, he said, "I have to run, racing against time to save more patients from the deadly disease. Zhang, who has worked at the hospital for six years and has been on the front line of medical emergencies for decades, including the devastating(毁灭性的) Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan province in 2008 and overseas medical relief missions to Algeria and Pakistan, has been on duty every day since Dec 29. ‎ ‎ “Life is always short. I need to do more to finish the things that I might leave behind, then I would leave without too many regrets,” Zhang said. “We are at the center of a storm, so we need to give all we have to protect our city, and our Wuhan people, I believe that we'll conquer this disease” Zhang added. ‎ ‎4.

If you’re like most kids these days，you probably have an electronic device loaded with hundreds or even thousands of your favorite songs．At any moment in time, you can fill your headphones with the sounds of a particular song that suits your mood at that exact time．  Are you getting ready for a big soccer match or do you need to get excited? Maybe some hip hop with a strong beat will do the trick! Besides，you might be ready to study for a big exam the next day．To calm your nerves and help you concentrate，a little bit of Mozart might make memorization more manageable． But is there any scientific evidence of these effects that music seems to have? You bet there is! Scientists have long recognized the power of music．Over the years，many studies have been conducted to examine in greater depth the nature and extent of the effects music has on people． For example，scientists at the University of Missouri have found that listening to music can have a positive effect on your mood．Their research gives scientific credibility(可信性)to the behavior that many people have already experienced on their own：listening to upbeat music can brighten your day and boost your mood． Other studies have shown that upbeat music isn’t the only type of music that can be helpful，however．When people are sad or have suffered a personal loss，sad music can be helpful because people identify with the tone and lyrics(歌词)of the music．Likewise，people under a lot of stress or experiencing upsetting situations can benefit from listening to angry music．Although angry music might not help you if you’re in a normal mood，its tone can benefit you when you are dealing with stressful and upsetting situations．   ‎ ‎8．What does the author mainly show in Paragraph 1 ? A．The importance of having an electronic device． B．The great number of songs on the Internet． ‎ ‎ C．The benefits of choosing a song suiting your mood． D．The convenience of finding a song suiting your mood．‎ ‎9．According to the passage，what is the power of Mozart?

A．Predict．      B．Improve．     C．Express．   D．Ruin． 11．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Only upbeat music can brighten our day． B．People will feel sad when identifying with the lyrics． C．Everyone can benefit from listening to angry music． D．Different music functions differently in different situations．‎ ‎ ‎ D China‎ is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.‎ ‎ It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.‎ ‎ Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.‎ ‎ My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.‎ ‎ Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.‎ ‎ I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.‎ ‎12. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?‎ A. Because they are traditional and safe. ‎ B. Because they are colorful and available C. Because they are convenient and inexpensive. ‎ ‎ D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.‎ ‎13. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ______________.‎ ‎ A. to experience local culture B. to use it for transport ‎ C. to ride it for fun D. to improve his riding skills ‎14. How did the author feel about his street crossing?‎ A. It was boring. B. It was wonderful.‎ C. It was lively. D. It was difficult.‎ ‎15. Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?‎ ‎ A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills. ‎ ‎ B. The author took great pleasure in biking ‎ C. The author was praised by the other bikers.‎ ‎ D. The author was annoyed by the air while riding. ‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。‎ There was a survey of the people who were born from 1980 to 2000, asking them what their most important life goals were．Over 80 percent said it was to get rich． 16 We're constantly told to devote more to our work， to push harder and to achieve more.We're given the impression that these are the things that we need to go after to have a good life． But is that the truth？  17 .‎ But what if we could study people from the time when they were teenagers all the way into old age to see what really keeps people happy and healthy？ The Harvard Study of Adult Development did it． For 75 years， they've tracked the lives of 724 men. Studies like this are extremely rare．Almost all projects of this kind fall apart(失败) within a decade because too many people drop out of the study． 18  Or the researchers can't get together.  But through a combination of luck and the persistence（坚持） of several generations of researchers, this study has survived．‎ So what have they learned? The conclusion is that it's not wealth or fame that counts． 19 They've learned three big lessons about relationships．Firstly, people who are more socially connected to family, to friends and to community are happier and physically healthier. The second is that it's not just the number of friends you have but the quality of your close relationships that matters. And the third is that good relationships don't just protect our bodies． 20 ‎ A． They can even protect our brains．‎ B． To become famous came second．‎ C． Or funding for the research dries up．‎ D． The good life is built with relationships．‎ E． It turns out that being in conflict is bad for our health．‎ F． It is good relationships that keep us happier and healthier．‎ G． To be frank, sometimes wealth and fame can make people happy．‎ 二、 完形填空(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ When most of us get a text message on our cell phone from an unknown person, we usually say “sorry,    21    number!” and move on.
