In 2020, he was seriously ill because his kidneys(肾)were gone.Jim immediately started dialysis(透析)，but a person of his age on dialysis usually lives only about four years. Transplants are a long-shot alternative. The National Kidney Foundation estimates that 13 people die every day while waiting for a donor with the right blood and tissue types. Jims wife, Shirley McGee, and some family friends offered but werent a match.Desperate, Shirley had T-shirts made that said “Im in need of a donor.” Her husband would wear one whenever he went to downtown Sarasota. No luck.In early 2020, Jim didnt feel like attending a reunion of some Air Force buddies in Monterey, California. I said, Is it really worth going to Monterey to sit in dialysis for two days?”Jim recalls. And my wife said, Yeah，come on. You really want to see your friends.And I am glad I made that decision.”In California, Jim reunited with six fellow airmen, including one he hadnt seen in nearly 50 years: Doug Coffman. The two had met when they both were learning Vietnamese before they went overseas. Jim told Doug and his other comrades about his predicament(困境).Doug, then 70, happened to have the right blood type and immediately decided to help. But could he? Shirleys guess was that doctors would tell Doug what they had told her: Youre too old. He immediately had his doctor send his medical records to Georgetown Medical Center, where Jim was being treated.Within a month, Doug was cleared for major testing. The testing revealed not only that Dougs tissue type matched Jims but also that he had the kidneys of a 35-year-old. When the doctors gave him the OK to donate, Doug immediately called Jim, and asked for the first surgery date available. On September 18，2020，Doug went into surgery at 7:30 a. m.; Jim followed at 9:30 a. m. By noon, they were both in the recovery room. The transplant was a success.24.

To practice Vietnamese.C. To meet his fellow airmen. D. To have a thorough examination there.27. What can we know about Doug Coffman?A. He was too old to help. B. He acted without delay in helping Jim.C.He seldom visited his doctor. D. He was 35 years younger than his age.CTheres a blue house in central Florida thats hard to miss. Its somewhat famous among people who live nearbyits painted to look like Starry Night, the iconic painting byVincent van Gogh but not everyone is a fan of thelarger-than-life artwork.We had not originally intended to paint the house like this, Nancy, who lives there with her husband, Lubomir, and their adult son, told TODAY. They started by painting the wall outside of their home, because it was in disrepair and they wanted it to look nice. The couple said they even asked permission from the city to paint the wall, and were told it was OK. So we went ahead and started having the wall painted by an artist who has his work shown throughout South America, Nancy said. The couple choseVan Goghbecause their son, who has autism(自闭症), is a fan of the great artist.God forbid my son were to be in a situation where he was unable to find his way back home, were hoping that he would have the ability to at least say that he belongs at the Van Gogh house, Nancy said. And the father even believed that there was magical connection between Van Gogh and autistic kids, because Van Gogh was possibly also autistic.After they painted the wall, the couple got a citation(传票) from the city stating that the wall painting was considered graffiti(涂鸦) and that the wall must match the house. Thats when they decided to paint the entire house to look like “Starry Night”-knowing that was not quite what the city had in mind but confident that they werent breaking any law.Since then, theyve been fined $10,600. In February, they filed a federal lawsuit(起诉) against the city, claiming the city is violating their right to freedom of expression. Mount Dora city officials nor their lawyer would comment on the issue. But in February, they did say in a statement that they were trying to preserve the residential character of our neighborhoods, and that the house may present a distraction to safe vehicle operation along the street which fronts the home.While both sides are in settlement talks, the fate of the mural(壁画) is still up in the air. The family say they are ready to battle for what they believe in.28. What was the couples original intention to paint the wall?A. To beautify the damaged wall.B. To respond to the call of the city.C. To assist an artist to show his work.D. To express their sons admiration for Van Gogh.29. What does the underlined phrase “God forbid” in paragraph three mean?A. May God forgive us.B. Its forbidden by God.C. Even God cant help it.D. We hope it does not happen.30. Whats the final attitude of the Mount Dora city officials towards the unique house?A. Supportive B. Disapproving C. Ambiguous D. Understanding31. What is the text mainly about?A. “Starry Night” house in Florida arouses a heated discussion.B. Neighbors sign an online petition in support of “Starry Night” house.C. The magical connection between Van Gogh and autistic kids.D. Homeowners battle for their “Starry Night” house in Florida.DDinner and a movie was a two-part affair. But increasingly, the two have been combined into a single experience, allowing moviegoers to get fries and a beer while they watch the latest superhero blockbuster. Full-service theaters have become a Friday-night pastime for Americans.Dine-in cinemas are not altogether new. In the late 1980s, brothers Mike and Brian McMenamin opened one in Portland. A decade later, inspired by the Mcmenamins, Tim and Karrie league began pairing trendy beer with hits like The Craft at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin. But in recent years, the trend has expanded from niche (小众) to mainstream. There are now 29 Alamo locations nationwide, from Omaha to El Paso.Full-service theaters appeal to a broader, more regionally diverse customer base. At Movie Tavern in Roswell, Ga. for instance, you can order popcorn shrimp while watching Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. AMC, the biggest U.S. movie-theater company, launched DINE-IN, where meals can be ordered with the push of a button. For the most upscale experience, youll have to fly to Paris, where EuropaCorp First Class, owned by the Fifth Element director Luc Besson, serves luxurious champagne and caviar (鱼子酱).The rise in full-service moviegoing goes with declining ticket sales across the industry more broadly. North American movie attendance in 2020 dropped to what appears to be a 27-year low. The downward tendency is the continuation of a 15-year trend. Between lots of uninspired remakes hitting theaters, younger audiences choosing to consume content on their smart phones and the dramatic rise in the popularity of streaming (流媒体), its no wonder that theater owners are seeking creative ways to attract customers off their couches. Its working: despite a 2% decline in movie attendance over four years, AMC DINE-IN achieved 4% growth in just two.Full-service theaters are not without complaints. Despite servers attempts at stealth (悄悄的行动), many find them distracting when serving food. And as expensive as traditional theater concessions have become, prices tend to get dearer once pancetta (意大利熏肉) enters the mix.But for those with the funds, the full-service theater offers reason enough to quit online movies.32. The combination of dinner and a movie _.A. is a new business model appearing recently.B. pairs trendy drinks with films in 29 nations.C. introduces the latest movies and the dearest food.D. gains much popularity despite the decline in ticket sales33. The underlined word “upscale” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.A.comfortableB. creativeC. expensiveD. inspiring34. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the passage?A. Ticket sales remain almost the same in the past 15 years.B. Uninspired remade films are the major complaint of audience.C. Full-service theaters are a creative way to promote ticket sales.D. Full-service theaters provide a perfect experience for all audiences.35. The passage is intended to _.A. argue if online movies are beneficialB. introduce a popular pattern of recreationC. call on people to quit expensive online moviesD. blame the decreasing movie attendance on streaming第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Getting along with people can be tough. The following are some suggestions that can help you in some way.Accept human nature. Humans make mistakes. People arent always nice.

Sometimes you just have to stop and give people the benefit of the doubt(to believe someone even though you are not sure whether what the person is saying is true).They might really be sorry or they might really not know that what they did was bad. _38_Keep an open mind. Sometimes you have to give people the benefit of the doubt. _39_ For example, when people invite you to parties, really consider going instead of just brushing the invitation aside because you dont think theyre serious.Do something together. _40_ You can work together on a project for school or work.

First he motioned to his younger son (maybe six years old), knelt down and gave him a long and intimate hug. As they _43_ enough to look in each others face, the father said, “So good to see you son. I missed you much!” Smiling, the son replied softly, “Me, too, Dad.” Then the man stood up, gazed in the eyes of his older son(maybe nine or ten), “Youre already quite a young man. I love you very much.” They too gave each other an affectionate hug.Meanwhile, a baby girl (perhaps one year old) was excited in her mothers arms, never taking her eyes _44_ the wonderful sight of her _45_ father.
