I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals （凉鞋）, wet with heavy snow.“Come in and Ill make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I saved them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”“Am I rich? Pity, no!”I looked at my worn-out slipcovers （椅套）. The girl put her cup back in its saucer （茶碟）carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room.

CBB【陕西省西工大附中2020第七次适应性训练】B阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。A team of British surgeons has carried out Gazas（加沙）first organ transplants for a long-term plan to train local medical staff to perform the operations.Two patients underwent kidney（肾脏）transplants at the Shifa, Gazas biggest public hospital. The operations were conducted a fortnight ago by a volunteer medical team from the Royal Liverpool hospital.Ziad Matouk, 42, was born with one kidney and was diagnosed with renal failure（肾衰竭）several years ago. Matouk, whose wife donated one of her kidneys, hopes to return to his job within six months. The couple had sought a transplant in Cairo, but were rejected as unsuitable at a state hospital and could not afford the fee at a private hospital. “We were desperate,” said Matouk.The UK-Gaza link-up began about a year ago after Abdelkader Hammad, a doctor at the Royal Liverpool hospital, was contacted by an anaesthetist（麻醉师）at the Shifa, who outlined the difficulties the Gaza hospital was facing with dialysis（透析）. The Shifa is forced to rely on generators because of power cuts; spare parts for its ageing dialysis machines have been difficult to import; and supplies of consumables are often scarce. After an exploratory trip last April, Hammad-whose family is Palestinian-and three colleagues from Liverpool arrived in Gaza via Egypt last month, bringing specialist equipment. Two patients were selected for surgery. The first, Mohammed Duhair, 42, received a kidney donated by his younger brother in a six-hour operation. Two days later, Matouk received a transplant after his wife, Nadia, 36, was found to be a good match. The surgeon was carried out by the British team, assisted by doctors and nurses from the Shifa. “We are very satisfied with the results,” said Sobbi Skaik, head of surgery at the Gaza hospital.Skaik hopes that Gaza medical teams will eventually carry out kidney transplants independently, and that other organ transplants may follow. The Shifa is working with the Gaza ministry of health on a plan to train its doctors, surgeons, nursing staff and laboratory technicians in transplant surgery at the Royal Liverpool. “Funding is a problem,” said Hammad. “In the meantime well go back as volunteers to Gaza for the next couple of years to do more transplants.” The Liverpool teams next visit is scheduled for May.49. What effect does Gazas first organ transplants hopes to get?A. Helping poor Gaza people to regain health to make more money.B. Releasing Gaza hospitals pressure of lack of professional doctors.C. Assisting the Royal Liverpool hospital in perfecting their operations.D. Calling for international attention at Gazas poor medical service.50. Why did the state hospital refuse to practice surgeon for Ziad Matouk?A. Because he couldnt afford the fee at a public hospital.B. Because the hospital didnt accept dangerous patients.C. Because they couldnt find a matched organ.D. Because his condition was untreatable.51. What is the beginning of the cooperation between the Royal Liverpool hospital and Gaza?A. A UK doctor contacted Gaza hospital.B. The Shifa imported medical machines from UK.C. Ziad Matouks condition seemed to get worse.D. A Shifa doctor turned to Royal Liverpool hospital for help.52. What did Dr. Hammad and his team do recently?A. They had an exploratory trip in Egypt last April.B. They carried out surgeries to test Gazas medical equipment.C. They carried out two transplant surgeries in Gaza.D. They sought assistance from the hospital of the Shifa.【参考答案】49-52. BCDC【陕西省西工大附中2020第七次适应性训练】C阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。Last week I talked with some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.“Surgery(外科手术)”, one replied.I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job.One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it re-grows, you can get at least 5 cm taller!”At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I cant deny that, but I dont think I would put myself through months of agony(痛苦) just to be a few centimeters taller. I dont even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as Im not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost.In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.53. We can know from the passage that the author works as _.A. a doctor B. a model C. a teacher D. a reporter54. Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to _.A. marry a better manwoman B. become a modelC. get an advantage over others in job-hunt D. attract more admirers55. According to the passage, the author believes that _.A. everyone should purchase perfection, whatever the costB. its right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobsC. it is ones appearance instead of skills that really matters in ones careerD. media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgery56. The best title for the passage should be “_”.A. Young Graduates Have Higher ExpectationB. Young Graduates Look to Surgery for Better JobsC. Young Graduates Opinion About Cosmetic SurgeryD. Young Graduates Face a Different Situation in Job-hunt【参考答案】53-56. CCDB由 (2020四川宜宾高三一诊)改编More than a third of the babies born this year could receive a 100th birthday message from whoever happens to be on the throne in the second decade of the 22nd century,according to figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).It forecasts that 35% of the 826,000 people born in 2020 will live to become centenarians.But a long life is not unalloyed good news.David Sinclair,head of policy and research at the International Longevity Centre UK,warned that for many the future may mean social isolation(隔离)as they live longer than friends and members of their families.“It is of course good news that so many more people are living longer,”he said,“but there is a big problem.We will be older,but in worse health,and at high risk of living alone.The other problem is that we are very poor at forward planning.We deal with the problems that are under our noses,but even problems two or three years away seem quite distant enough to put off.When youre talking about forecasts for a time half a century away and more,I see no evidence that we are putting in place the measures to deal with it.”This year there will be 14,500 centenarians in the UK,a number which is expected to increase to 110,000 in 2035.Women have higher life expectancies than men at every age:the likelihood of a girl born this year reaching her century is estimated to be 39%;for boys the figure is 32%.The estimated number of female centenarians has risen from 500 in 1961 to more than 10,000 in 2020,a figure which is projected to reach 71,000 by 2035 and 276,000 by 2060.Men are also living far longer,although their numbers are far fewer.There was an estimated of 92 male centenarians in 1961 and just below 2,000 in 2020.1.The underlined word “centenarians” probably means people who.A.are born this yearB.live longer than their friendsC.are in poor healthD.are a hundred or more years old2.From what David Sinclair said, we can learn.A.he doesnt believe so many people are living longerB.the older we are, the more likely we are to live alone and in poor healthC.the people who are good at forward planning are likely to live longerD.too distant planning is not always necessary for most of us3.Which of the fol
