without the contribution of african-american inventor dr charles drew.charles drew was born on june 3, 1904, in washington, dc. his early interest was in education, but he was also an outstanding athlete. while in college, he was awarded as the man who contributed the most to sports during his four years in school. drews sister elsie suffered from tuberculosis(肺结核) and died in 1920. her death influenced his decision to study medicine.after becoming a doctor and working as a college instructor, drew went to columbia university, where he earned his doctor of medical science degree. during this time he became involved in research on blood and blood transfusions (输血). at columbia, he wrote a paper on “banked blood”, in which he described a technique he developed for the long-term preservation of blood plasma (血浆). before his discovery, blood could not be stored for more than two days because of the rapid breakdown of red blood cells. drew had discovered that by separating the plasma from the whole blood and then refrigerating(冷冻) them separately, they could be combined a week later for a blood transfusion. drew became the first african american to receive a phd in medical science. after world war ii broke out, drew was called upon to put his techniques into practice. he was named a project director for the american red cross but soon quit his post after the government issued an order that blood taken from white donors(献血者) should be separated from that of black donors. on april 1, 1950, after he attended the annual free clinic at the john a. andrew memorial hospital, he and other three physicians decided to drive back home. as he was tired from spending the night before in the operating room, he lost control of his car. drew was badly injured and was taken to alamance general hospital in burlington, north carolina. he was pronounced dead half an hour after he first received medical attention. drews funeral was held on april 5, 1950, at the nineteenth street baptist church in washington, dc.but contrary to popular legend, he was not refused a blood transfusion by an all-white hospital. he indeed received a transfusion but was beyond the help of the physicians attending to him. as dr. john ford, one of the doctors who survived the accident, later explained, “we all received the very best of care. the fact that he was a black did not in any way limit the care that was given to him.” over the years, drew has been considered one of the most honored figures in the medical field. 21. according to the passage, _ might have contributed to the invention of blood banks. a. the combination of blood cells b. the rapid breakdown of red blood cellsc. the development of refrigerating technique d. the technique of separating plasma from the whole blood22. by saying “contrary to the popular legend” in the last paragraph, the writer _. a. cant understand the doctors decision b. indicates his concern about the legendc. feels disappointed with the all-white hospital d. means what the doctors did was out of expectation23. what conclusion can we draw from the passage? a. charles drew died in a medical accident.b. african americans were still treated unfairly in the 1940s. c. charles drew was the first african american to receive a phd.d. physicians refused to give charles drew medical attention because he was a black.24. in which section of a magazine can we most probably find the passage?a. people b. health c. culture d. entertainmentbreading, unlike speaking, is a young activity to some degree. humans have been speaking in some form for hundreds of thousands of years; we are born with the ability to acquire speech. the earliest writing, however, came only 6,000 years ago, and every act of reading remains a version of what my son is learning: identifying letters and words, use much the same of brain as we use to identify trees, cars, animals and telephone boxes. its not only letters and words that we process as objects. texts themselves, so far as our brain is concerned, are physical landscapes. so it is not surprising that we respond differently to words printed on a page compared to words appearing on a screen. for her new book, words onscreen: the fate of reading in a digital world, professor naomi baron conducted a survey of reading preference among over 300 universities across the world. when given a choice between media ranging from printouts(打印出来的资料) to smart phones, laptops, desktops and e-readers, 92% of the respondents （回答者）replied that it was hard copy that best allowed them to concentrate（集中注意力）. this isnt a result likely to surprise many editors, or anyone else who works closely with text. while writing this article, i gathered my thoughts through a version of the same principle(原则): having collected and checked my notes on screen, i printed said notes, write all over the resulting printout, argued with myself in the margins, placed marks next to key points and then draw my own clear conclusion. across three experiments in 2013, researchers pam mueller and daniel oppenheimer compared the effectiveness of students taking hand-notes vs. typing onto laptops. their conclusion（结论）: the relative slowness of writing by hand demands heavier mental lifting, forcing students to sum up rather than to quote, therefore tending to increase the students ability of understanding, applying, and memorizing. in other words, reading from paper is good-at least as far as the brain is concerned. moreover, the handwriting itself can be significant. in a 2012 study at indiana university, professor karin james tested five-year-old children who didnt know how to read or write by asking them to reproduce a letter or a shape in one of the three ways: typed on to the computer, drawn on a blank sheet, or copied over dotted lines. when the children were drawing freehand, their brain had the similar activities to adults reading and writing. the other two methods showed no such brain activities. similar effects have been found in other tests, suggesting not only a close link between reading and writing, but that the experience of reading itself differs between letters learned through handwriting and those learned through typing. a conclusion was drawn that handwriting tends to lift up our brain more than the placeless, weightless scrolling of words on screen. however, there is also a scientific recognition that many of the screens advantages-search, boundless and bottomless capacity（容量）, links and leaps and seamless navigation-are either unhelpful or destructive when it comes to certain kinds of reading and writing. above all, it seems to me, we must give up the concept that there is only one way of reading, or that technology and paper can never be put together. were lucky enough to have more opportunities to make our choice.25. according to the passage, reading from paper does not mean reading from _. a. hard copy b. printouts c. iphone d. journals26. reading from paper is more helpful for concentrating because _. a. it is a young activity to a degree b. it involves more brain activities than its opponents c. it demands more physical lifting d. it has boundless and bottomless search capacity27. the 2012 study at indiana in paragraph 6 was intended to . a. deny the three experiments by pam mueller and daniel oppenheimer b. offer a more convincing evidence of the writers point of view c. show how powerful our childrens reading capacity can be d. support the survey conducted by professor naomi baron28. the writers attitude towards handwriting can be best described as . a. tolerant b. negative c. neutral d. positiveche was driving home one evening, on a country road. work, in this small community, was as slow as his broken pontiac.but he never quit looking. since the factory closed, hed been unemployed. and with winter approaching, the cold days had finally hit home. it was a lonely road. very few people had a reason to be on it, unless they were leaving. most of his friends had left. but he stayed on. after all, he had his root here.it was getting dark, and snow was coming down. hed better get a move on. suddenly he saw an old lady on the roadside and obviously needed help.so he pulled up in front of her mercedes and got out. she was worried. no one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. was he going to hurt her? he looked poor, hungry, and . dangerous.he could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. he said, “im here to help you, maam. why dont you wait in the car where its warm? by the way, my name is joe.” the car had a flat tire. joe crawled under the car and soon he was able to change the tire. but he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.as he was turning the screws（螺丝），she rolled down her window and began talking to him and said she couldnt thank him enough for coming to her aid. she asked him how much she owed him. any amount would have been alright with her. she had already imagined all the terrible things that could have happened had he not stopped. joe never thought twice about the money. this was simply helping someone in need, and god knows there were plenty who had lent him a hand before. he had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way. he told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and joe added “ and think of me.”a few miles down the road the lady saw a small caf. she went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off. it was a dirty-looking restaurant. outside were two old gas pumps. the whole scene was unfamiliar to her. the waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair.she had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldnt erase. the lady noticed that the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude.the old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. then she remembered joe. after the lady finished her meal, she handed the waitress a $100 bill. when the waitress came back with the change, she found the lady was gone and something written on a napkin.reading the note, there were tears in her eyes. it said, “you owe me nothing. ive been there too. someone once helped me out, like im helping you. if you really want to pay me back, dont let the chain of love end with you.”that night when she got home from work, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written.with the baby due soon, life would be harder. she knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft, “everythings gonna be alright; i love you, joe.”29. we can know from the first four paragraphs that joe . a. was living a tough life without a job b. was hopeless about his job and future c. was eager to leave where he lived now d. usually gave a bad impression on others30. by saying “he had lived his whole life that way” in paragraph 8, the author tries to convey the message that joe . a. expected to be remembered for his kindness b. struggled for a living, depending a lot on other people c. was always changing tires for strangers free of charge d. often offered a helping hand without expecting anything in return31. the old lady left the change, mainly wishing to . a. impress the waitress with her generosity b. show pity to the woman expecting a baby c. bring love

of identifying liars was to watch their body language, including facial expressions.according to a new study, body language cannot be trusted. talking, it seems, is the best way to smoke out a liar. that is what researchers in the united kingdom found out recently. their investigation took place at one place where lying can get you into big trouble - an airport. 33._ and it only works, seemingly, be chance. in the conversational cce method, security agents just talk with passengers. they ask about informal things as you would in a normal conversation. while talking, the agents might ask questions about topics that are seemingly unrelated.then the agent observes if the person becomes more vague or irregular.34. _ in an article on the apa website, ormerod says that for actual passengers, they are “just chatting about themselves. it shouldnt feel like an interrogation.”here are four ways of catching a liar.1. use open-ended questionsthese are the opposite of “yes” and no” questions. open-ended questions force the person to stretch the story of their lies until they are caught in their own net of lies.2. use the element of surprise35._ ask questions that are surprising or off-topic. this will make it harder for them to keep lying. or better still ask them to re-tell an event backwards in time, going from the most recent event to the earliest.3. look for small details that do not add up or, in other words, make sense.ask them details about their stories and look for facts that seem in disagreement with each other. but do not let them know you know. 36._4. watch for changes in confidence and speaking stylesliars will often change their speaking style when they are questioned. for example, when they feel in control they may be very talkative. 37._a. the agents talking with the passengers were 20 times more likely to catch the liars.b. the british government partly financed this study.c. but if they feel they are losing much at all.d. what they also observe is their way of speaking changes.e. using body languages and facial expresses to catch someone in a lie is really hard.f. just let them dig themselves deeper into a hole.g. ask questions they may not think you are going to ask.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分40分）第一节 完型填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。i felt like a good mother on that summer morning. id 38 up
