manchester, connecticut on january 18, 1996, the second of four children. shortly before her first birthday, alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer.on her first birthday, the doctors informed alexs parents that if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. just two weeks later, alex slightly moved her leg at her parents request to kick. this was the first indication that she would turn out to be a courageous and confident child with big dreams and big accomplishments.by her second birthday, alex was able to stand up with leg braces(支架). she worked hard to gain strength and to learn how to walk. she appeared to be overcoming the difficulties, until the shocking discovery within the next year that her tumors(肿瘤) had started growing again. in the year 2000, the day after her fourth birthday, alex received a stem cell transplant(干细胞移植) and informed her mother, “when i get out of the hospital i want to have a lemonade stand.” she said she wanted to give the money to doctors to allow them to “help other kids, like they helped me”. true to her word, she held her first lemonade stand later that year with the help of her older brother and raised an amazing $2,000 for “her hospital”.people from all over the world, moved by her story, held their own lemonade stands and donated the earnings to alex and her cause. in august of

out of curiosity, or you may think it is just another piece of useless technology. whatever your opinion, vr, or virtual (虚拟的)reality, is going to become a big part of our lives very soon.2016 saw the introduction of many fancy products in the world of vr, including microsofts hololens and samsungs gear vr. all of them offer an exciting look at the new realities and opportunities that vr brings.these, however, are the early days of a technology that is expected to go from strength to strength. and 2017 looks like it is going to be the year in which vr technology really takes off.for a start, using vr will become more normal in 2017. microsoft and intel have already discussed their plans for simpler and less expensive vr headsets.the idea of vr will stop being a sci-fi (science-fiction) idea, and instead it will turn into an industry of real products used as ways to show off imagination. said andrew, a designer at us vr company, survios.it is also expected that vr products will play a part in more common and real-life fields like fashion and film. for example, to enjoy the atmosphere and energy of the front row experience at a fashion show, fans will no longer have to go along in the flesh. instead people will be able to enjoy the experience by just wearing a vr headset at home.you can also expect vr mirrors and fitting-rooms sooner rather than later. “this

students to improve their performance really does work, scientists have found. the drug “modafinil” is currently used to treat sleep disorder, but it is widely used off-label by students to help them revise for exams or focus on long essays.until now, there has been a lack of clear evidence over whether it can actually help concentration and alertness(警觉). but a new analysis of the research showed it does improve planning and decision making, flexibility, learning and memory, and even creativity. the findings raise serious ethical(道德的) questions about whether modafinil should be “classified, tolerated or condemned(谴责)”, scientists said. professor guy goodwin, president of the european college said, “its the first real example of a smart drug, which can really help, for example, with exam preparation.” previous ethical discussions around smart drugs assumed(假定) major effects of the drugs before it was clear that there were any, he added. he continued “if correct, the latest news means the ethical debate(争论) is real: how should we classify, tolerate or condemn a drug that improves human performance?”a fifth of university students across the country claim to have taken smart drugs,according to surveys by student newspaper the tab. and the use of modafinil is most widespread at oxford university, where a quarter of students have reported to have used it. over the years, universities have discussed how best to respond to the use of smart drugs, and some have suggested olympic-style doping(兴奋剂) tests for students sitting exams.professor goodwin said there should be a society-wide debate on how modafinil should be permitted officially and regulated(管理), as well as what universities should do about its use. he said: “regulation has been and remains uncertain. we cannot know either if demand for modafinil in the same societies will actually be significant, whether society will be more accepting and how regulation will then be made.”32.who are likely to turn to the “smart drug” modafinil ?a. children who lack strength. b. patients who have a heart disease.c. old people who have poor sight. d. students who have poor memory.33.why does the writer refer to the students of oxford university?a. to show smart drugs enjoy popularity among college students. b. to prove oxford university students suffer from a heavy load.c. to tell us smart drugs use have spread to england. d. to explain why oxford university students are clever.34. what does professor goodwin think of “smart drug” modafinil?a. our society should accept the use of modafinil.b. regulation on modafinil remains to be discussed.c. modafinil used as a “smart drug” should be stopped.d. regulation on modafinil being used as a “smart drug” is necessary.35. what is the topic of passage? a. “smart drugs” have side effects.b. a “smart drug” raises ethical questions.c. students cant go without “smart drugs”.d. a more effective “smart drags” should be developed.第2节 ：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

like for ourselves and to pass on the next generation. 38 how about the virtual worlds? it might be possible in the future to experience the sand between your toes, and hear the waves, just lying in
