11、o my mother went into labour for the second time. It was either very late New Years Day or very early on the second day of 1969 depending on how you looked at it but either way, it was a full week past her due date when my mom woke up knowing it was time to wake my dad up, get dressed, pack up the c

12、ar and head to the hospital. Her regular doctor was on vacation and when they reached the hospital they planned to deliver in were told that the doctor was on his way to another hospital so they should head there, in a neighbouring city. Most surprising to me now is that she felt well enough to atte

13、nd a New Years party the previous night and stayed long enough to toast in the new year!My mom and her family had immigrated to the United States just twenty years earlier from El Salvador. And that was a lucky thing for me. Not only did my mom gain access to a better education and career options he

14、re in the US for herself, each of her three daughters would also enjoy her access to quality maternity (孕产妇的) care. While the US is hardly the world leader in maternal health or birth outcomes, these days a woman faces a 1 in 2,100 risk of dying during her life and in El Salvador, its 1 in 350-6 tim

15、es worse. In 1969, that difference was even greater.However, I was pregnant with my second child in El Salvador six years ago when I realized how very different my life might have turned out if Id lived there when I delivered my first child. I travelled down there with CARE, the humanitarian relief

16、organization, whose efforts my mom had long supported, to see some of their principal programmes in action. Among them was one in particular that remains with me today. It was a water project where pregnant women, many of whom had walked miles to access this clean water, receive some basic care befo

17、re or after childbirth. Here these women were, facing the exact same physical challenges as me but still carrying the full work load of the family and with little to no resources for information, care, transportation or comfort during or after their pregnancies.By this time, I was all too aware of w

18、hat a challenge childbirth could be. After delivering my daughter in 2003, I survived a hemorrhage (大出血), the leading childbirth-related complication that takes the lives of thousands of other mothers all over the world. One girl or woman dies every 90 seconds in pregnancy or childbirth from what is

19、 in most cases a preventable death. I was as shocked as you are when I discovered this fact but I was also grateful. Grateful because I had been in the care of a team of health workers when I needed them most.I thought of my mothers life. While she had been born in a good hospital in San Salvador in

20、 the 1930s, at that time pregnancy-related deaths were common even in the US. My great grandmother also hemorrhaged, only after delivering her fifth child and she died. Her husband, my moms grandfather was a physician at the time. He would give up practising medicine forever when he couldnt save her

21、.But it wasnt only my mom and her family that I thought of as I considered my own fate and good fortune, it was all those women Id spent the day with in the rural community Id visited with CARE. Wed made a connection that day, we mothers, as women. These women did not have access to the simple inter

22、ventions (介入) that could insure their survival and thats what concerned me. It did more than concern me, it woke me up and begged this question, why should any one life be of different value than any other?And so, I made the commitment right there and then to do all I could to improve maternal healt

23、h and reduce the number of maternal deaths around the globe.1、The underlined phrase “went into labour” in Paragraph 1 means “_”.Asuffered from a disease Bgave birth to a babyCtook up an offer of work Dtidied up the house2、According to the passage, the writer felt fortunate enough _.Ato enjoy the bes

24、t maternity care in the worldBto attend better schools in the United StatesCto live in a developed country permanentlyDto have a better sense of maternal security3、When she returned to her motherland six years ago, the writer _.Aregretted not delivering her first child thereBwas very surprised at th

25、e great changes thereCoffered special care to women in need thereDresearched into the medical conditions there4、The writer realized the vital importance of maternity care _Athrough her own experienceBwith the help of health workersCduring her stay in El SalvadorDupon the death of some women5、The wri

26、ter is obviously determined to _.Abe a physician different from her great grandfatherBchange the situation in the field of maternal healthCrequest more people to care about maternity careDvolunteer care during or after womens pregnancies6、What conclusion does the passage lead you to?APregnancy-relat

27、ed deaths can hardly be kept from happening.BBirth and death went hand in hand with each other very often.CPhysicians failed to save patients from various curable diseases.DWomen would rather have no children for tear of a hemorrhage.22（8分） Children in rural areas of Cambodia often suffer from or ev

28、en die of preventable illnesses because there is not any soap available.In 2014，Samir Lakhani，an American college student，saw the issue while volunteering in a Cambodian village.“I remember quite vividly a mother bathing her newborn baby with laundry powder，which is so harmful to the skin，”said Lakh

29、ani.“Its difficult for rural Cambodians to access soap.First is affordability.If you earn only$1.50 every day，you wont spend $1 on a bar of soap.Then comes access.The demand is so low that local shops dont stock soap.The last reason，because many Cambodians dont really understand where diseases come

30、from，they dont know how to prevent them，including using soap.”After figuring out a solution to the problem:the barely-used soap in hotels，Lakhani started asking hotels to donate leftover soap.“They were all eager to help，”he explained.Lakhani registered Eco-Soap Bank shortly afterwards.Soon，he recei

31、ved enough funds to hire disadvantaged Cambodian women to collect and reproduce the used soap.Today，the organization has four recycling centers across the country，providing jobs to 35 local women.And so far，some 174，000 bars of soap have been donated，about 24，000 pounds of soap has been recycled，and

32、 hygiene(卫生)has been improved for about 661，000 people.“We are killing three birds with one stone，”Lakhani said.When it comes to the future of Eco-Soap Bank，Lakhani said，“Weve just scratched the surface.Lack of hygiene is not something unique to Cambodia.The demand for improved hygiene in the develo

33、ping world is huge，and much remains to be done.Were looking at seven countries to expand to in the near future.”1、Which of the following is not mentioned as the reason why rural Cambodians dont use soap?APoverty.BInaccessibility.CUnawareness.DTradition.2、What does the underlined part“killing three b

34、irds”in Paragraph 5 refer to?ASaving soap，curing diseases and providing education.BStopping pollution，proving jobs and inspiring donation.CReducing waste，providing employment and improving health.DRecycling waste，helping charity and improving community hygiene.3、What can we infer about Eco-Soap Bank

35、?AIt wont be long before it expands to the whole world.BTheres little it can do without other countriesassistance.CIt will make greater contributions to the developing world.DIt will soon settle the problem of poor hygiene in Cambodia.4、What does the text mainly talk about?AEco-Soap Bank helps impro

Scientists have discovered how microb

37、es can be used to turn carbon dioxide into soil-enriching limestone(石灰石), with the help of a type of tree that grows in tropical areas, such as West Africa.Researchers have found that when the Iroko tree is grown in dry, acidic soil and treated with a combination of natural fungi(霉菌) and other bacte

38、ria, not only does the tree grow well, it also produces the mineral limestone in the soil around its root.The Iroko tree makes a mineral by combining Ca from the earth with CO2 from the atmosphere. The bacteria then create the conditions under which this mineral turns into limestone. The discovery o

39、ffers a new way to lock carbon into the soil, keeping it out of the atmosphere. In addition to storing carbon in the trees leaves and in the form of limestone, the mineral in the soil makes it more suitable for agriculture.The discovery could lead to reforestation(重新造林) projects in tropical countrie

40、s, and help reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the developing world. It has already been used in West Africa and is being tested in Bolivia, Haiti and India.The findings were made in a three-year project involving researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh, Granada, Lausanne and Delft Un

41、iversity of Technology. The project examined several microbiological methods of locking CO2 as limestone, and the Iroko-bacteria way showed best results. Work was funded by the European Commission under the Future&Emerging Technologies(FET) scheme.Dr Bryne Ngwenya of the University of Edinburghs Sch

42、ool of GeoSciences, who led the research, said:“By taking advantage of this natural limestone-producing process, we have a low-tech, safe, readily employed and easily operating way to lock carbon out of the atmosphere, while improving farming conditions in tropical countries.”1、The passage is mainly

43、 introducing _.Asome useful natural fungi and bacteriaBa new way to deal with greenhouse gasCa newly-found tree in West AfricaDthe soil-enriching limestone created by scientists2、Which of the following is True about tiny microbes?AMost tiny microbes like living in dry, acidic soil.BCO2 can be broken

44、 down by natural fungi and bacteria.CThe more greenhouse gas is, the more active tiny microbes become.DTiny microbes get along well with the Iroko tree in special soil.3、What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?ACarbon dioxide.BCarbon.CSoil.DLimestone.4、According to the pa

45、ssage, what can we infer?AThe action of the tiny microbes can increase the oxygen in the earth.BResearchers have done the experiment on trees in Africa for three years.CResearchers tend to use natural power to solve their problem.DWest Africa is one of the most polluted areas all over the world.5、Ac

46、cording to the passage, the Iroko-bacteria method _.Acan be used to improve the farming landBcan save a lot of seriously destroyed woodsChas been popularized in Bolivia, Haiti and IndiaDshould be spread all around the world in the future24（8分）Bamboo is one of the worlds most useful plants. For thous

47、ands of years, bamboo has been used in many different ways-from food to medicine to clothing and, in small ways, as a building material.However, bamboo is not often used as a building material in the developed world. A professor at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania is trying to change tha

48、t. The professor and his students are testing the strength of bamboo.They are testing how much pressure or weight it can take before breaking.Kent Harries is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Harries says that testing methods for bamboo need to be the same for all. They need to be standar

49、dized. Standardizing test methods for bamboo will help to bring the plant into common use. It will also give engineers and builders around the world a dependable standard.Harries says that bamboo is strong in nature. The strength of at least three species of bamboo is similar to steel.Besides its st

50、rength, bamboo has other features that make it very useful in building. He says it is resilient(有弹力的), meaning it keeps its shape and strength even under pressure.Bamboo also grows quickly. Bamboo that is suitable for construction needs much less resources than wood. The harvest cycle of bamboo is a

51、bout 3 years. Softwoods such as cedar, pine and spruce have a harvest cycle of about 10 years. And hardwoods that come from flowering plants such as oak and walnut need more than 30 years.Bamboo is widely used as food for panda bears. It is also used for flooring and window covers. However, for buil

52、ding, bamboo is not used much outside its native growing area. This is mostly because of its round shape. But there are other reasons too. People think - or have the mentality-that bamboo is a low quality building material.1、Whatistheauthormainlytalkingaboutinthepassage?AMakebambooacommon buildingma

56、so，as cancelling out unwanted soundsTo this end he has created a simple accessory called the Focus CapOpen work spaces definitely have their benefits，but they come with the drawback of offering employees little to no control over visual distractions(干扰)With so many people around and so much going on

57、，some of us can easily get disturbed by this information overload and lose focus in whats really importantThats where the Focus Cap comes into play“As we are still cavemen or mammals kept in an unnatural environment，I believe that only by reclaiming(收回) the normal，stress-free human state through sim

58、ple tools and techniques can we finally release our actual creative potential and create our meaningful work for a brighter future，”says German designer Hannes Greblin，inventor of the Focus CapAfter looking at other products designed at minimizing visual distractions，Greblin decided that most of the

59、m were either too expensive or too uncomfortable to become mainstream，so he decided to go with something much simpler a simple cap with a retractable visor(可伸缩的帽沿)Greblins Focus Cap is really straightforwardYou just wear it like a regular cap with the sides of the visor retracted，and just collapse t
