Since March 2020, Ive done 89 trips of those, 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells (干细胞) in my little box because Ive got two ice packs and thats how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted in the patient, weve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:“Well, Im really sorry, Ive got some bad news for youthere are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient please, please, youve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, youre consciously aware that in that box youve got something that is potentially going to save somebodys life.21. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph1?A. providerB. collectorC. delivery manD. medical doctor22. Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?A. The ice wont last any longer.B. The donor can only wait for that long.C. The operation needs that much time.D. He cannot stay away from his job too long.23. Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?A. To London.B. To Providence.C. To Newark.D.

If fire didnt hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didnt, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldierand some do existis not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.24. Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if _.A. they were not well educated at schoolB. they had no sense of painC. they had never played with fire beforeD. they were fearful of pain25. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because _.A. they have gained experienceB. they are calm in face of dangerC. they jump out of the way in timeD. they are warned of the danger and take quick action26. What is implied but not stated in the passage?A. Fear is something that can be avoidedB. Fear is always something helpfulC. Too much fear is harmfulD. Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life27. The best title for this passage should be _.A. The Value of FearB. Pain and ActionsC. No Pains, No GainsD. The Reason Why People FearCEuropeans should try to stay indoors if ash from Icelands volcano starts settling, the World Health Organization warned Friday as small amounts fell in Iceland, Scotland and Norway.WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein said the microscopic(微小的) ash is potentially dangerous for people when it starts to reach the Earth because inhaled(吸入) particles can enter the lungs and cause respiratory problems. And he also said Europeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.Other experts, however, werent convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on peoples health and said WHOs warnings were hysterical. They said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. Volcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock. It is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder. During a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breathed deep into the lungs and cause irritation even in healthy people. But once it falls from a greater distance like from the cloud currently hovering above Europe its health effects are often minimal, experts say.Not all particles are created equal, said Ken Donaldson, a professor of respiratory toxicology at the University of Edinburgh, In the great scheme of things, volcanic ash is not all that harmful. And he said most Europeans exposure to volcanic ash would be negligible and that only those in the near districts of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk.Dr. Stephen Spiro, a professor of respiratory medicine and deputy chair of the British Lung Foundation, said the further the particles travel, the less dangerous they will be. The cloud has already passed over northern Scotland and we havent heard of any ill effects there, he said. Spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was over the top and a bit hysterical.28. What is the text mainly about?A. the effect of volcanic ashB. the health risk of volcanic ashC. the disadvantages of volcanic ashD. the opinions on health risk of volcanic ash29. Which one is true according to Paragraph3?A. The ash caused irritation even in healthy people.B. The volcanic ashs effects on Europeans were little.C. Other experts thought WTOs warnings were useful.D. The volcanic ash was more dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution.30. The underlined word “hysterical” in Paragraph 3 most probably means.A. overstated B. practical C. valuable D. amazing31. What can we learn from the passage?A. The volcanic ash wouldnt be harmful to people.B. People close to the volcano would likely be at risk according to some experts.C. All experts thought the volcanic ash did great harm to our health.D. Europeans should stay indoors because Icelands volcano starts settling.DA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops.Students are increasingly using laptops for notetaking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes“mindlessly”by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual notetaking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers report said，“While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.32. More and more students favor laptops for notetaking because they can_.A. get higher scoresB. digest concepts betterC. write more notesD. understand lectures better33. While taking notes，laptop users tend to be_.A. skillful B. tireless C. thoughtful D. mindless34. The author of the passage aims to_.A. stress the benefit of taking notes by handB. examine the importance of long-term memoryC. explain the process of taking notesD. promote the use of laptops35. The passage is likely to appear in_.A. a newspaper advertisementB. a science magazineC. a computer textbookD. a finance report第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）How to Do Man-on-the-Street InterviewsThe man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. 36 But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” 37Hit the streets with confidence. 38 Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Dont get discouraged. 39 Each interview that you get on the street shouldnt be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you wont be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 40 If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, dont leave work without them.A. Limit your time.B. As you approach people, be polite.C. If you dont own a camera, you can buy one.D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.E. To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.G. With a question like this, you will get more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.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。第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）Alia Baker is a librarian in Iraq.
