I had two cats that I adored like children, but I still wanted the company of a dog. Then unfortunately I lost my cats. Soon came another shock that my husband left me forever because of lung cancer. I felt I had just lost everything that ever mattered to me.I voiced these feelings to a friend, who took me to a pet store. The store was holding an adoption day with shelters. I looked at and held several puppies (小狗), wondering which to choose. Then I met Maggie. She looked at me with the saddest eyes I had ever seen, then laid her head on my shoulder and slept. I immediately decided to save her!Maggie adjusted well. I, however, was still adjusting. One night, thoughts of losing everything rushed through my head again. So depressed was I that I felt the only solution was to end my life. With a bottle of medicine in one hand and Maggie on my lap, I took the pills. Through my tear-filled eyes I looked down at Maggie to tell her I was sorry. The look on her face I will never be able to explain. Its as if her eyes said, “Dont leave me; I need you just as you needed me.” It was then that I ran to the bathroom to vomit up the pills. The rest of the night I sat on the couch holding Maggie and thanking her for saving me.Since that night I have had a love for her that I never knew possible.

In the sport this move is known as a header. Unfortunately, they may sometimes crash into other players, the ground or goal posts. During the World Cup semifinal soccer match in Sao Paulo, Brazil, July 2020, Netherlands Dirk Kuyt went for a header with Argentinas Javier Mascherano and Ezequiel Garay, making his competitors injured in head.Catherine McGill is a neuropsychologist (神经心理学家) at the Childrens National Health System in Houston. She examines many children who have suffered concussions (脑震荡), which are the most common brain injury. She says concussions from soccer and other youth sports are increasing.“Firstly, parents, coaches, and medical providers alike are getting better at recognizing and responding to the injury, and its a huge proof to media paying more attention to this and leagues (联队) paying more attention to the safety of their players. Also, kids are getting bigger, faster, stronger across the sports, and so more injuries may be occurring simply because of that.”Catherine McGill spoke at a recent conference on ways to make soccer safer for young players which was held recently in New York. She says researchers are examining the effects of soccer-related head injuries. They want to know whether repeated hits to the head can cause CTE, which is a brain disorder that worsens as a person ages.She says parents often ask what age children should start “heading” or whether there should be “heading” at all. She thinks its a very individual decision. The age for one child may be quite different from another.28. According to the passage, Dirk Kuyt is probably _.A. a league leader B. a soccer player C. a doctor D. a coach29. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Young soccer players are stronger and swifter nowadays.B. Parents are getting better at dealing with head injuries.C. Media are paying more attention to such injuries in sports.D. Leagues are more concerned about the safety of their players.30. What can we learn from Catherine McGills research?A. Heading is a common move for players in soccer matches.B. Children can start heading at any age in playing soccer.C. CTE is mainly caused by soccer-related head injuries.D. Concussions from soccer and other youth sports are on the rise.31. Whats the main purpose of the passage?A. To entertain us with exciting soccer matches.B. To warn us of something dangerous in sports.C. To inform us of risks of heading in soccer.D. To share ways to make soccer safer for children.DAs many people hit middle age, they often start to notice their memory is not what it used to be. We suddenly cant remember where we put the keys just moments ago. As the brain fades, we mildly refer to these occurrences as “senior moments”. While seemingly no big deal, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a detrimental influence on our professional, social, and personal happiness.Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) are increasingly showing theres actually a lot that can be done. The brain needs exercise in much the same way our muscles do, and the right mental exercise can greatly improve our basic cognitive (认知) functions. Now, a new San Francisco Web-based company has taken it a step further and developed the first “brain training program”Lumosity. It is far more than an online place to exercise your mental skills. Thats because they have combined these exercises into a Web-based program that allows you to systematically improve your memory and attention skills. The program records your progress and provides detailed feedback (反馈) on your performance and improvement. Most importantly, it constantly improves the games you play to build on the strengths you are developing.Obviously it does work. The company says, according to the clinical trials, its users have reported clearer and quicker thinking, improved memory for names, numbers, directions, etc and better concentration at work. While many of the games at Lumosity are free, a reasonable subscription fee is required to use the full program over the long term. However, Lumosity is currently offering a free trial of their program to new users who create an account so that you can see how well it works before you decide to subscribe.32. The underlined word “detrimental”probably means _.A. harmful B. beneficial C. major D. decisive33. What is Lumosity?A. A program aiming to exercise your muscles.B. A Web-based company located in San Francisco.C. An online program offering brain training exercises.D. A series of games providing detailed feedback.34. If you want to be a user of Lumosity, _.A. no fee is required for you to use the full program.B. an account is not necessary for trial useC. youre asked to pay a reasonable fee before subscriptionD. you can try it for free before you buy the full version35. The writer intends to _ through the passage.A. persuade people to try LumosityB. introduce neuroscience to readersC. show his support for online gamesD. question the effect of the program第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Tips for Stress Free Long FlightsThe world is becoming smaller by the day. Flying long hours to distant locations is becoming increasingly popular. 36 This doesnt have to be the case. Just follow this guide and you can enjoy the whole experience!Advance airport timeYou are usually expected to check in 2 hours in advance.
