10、d returned home to let our two younger children play while I worked on my medical report. It was wonderful, but it hit me that my career in hospital wasnt making a difference in anyones life. I needed something that would stretch my limits and push me to grow. My career enabled me to work from home.
11、 I could work from home, and bee a foster（领养）mother, providing safety for a child who needed it desperately.On Monday morning, I picked up the phone and dialed the number I had googled for the nearest Department of Childrens Services. The man on the other end was receptive to my questions and explai
12、ned the next step of training, involving eight weeks of classes designed to prepare and educate foster parents. We continued through all the classes, the home visits, background checks, and seemingly endless steps.Five long months after we were approved, the phone rang. In the middle of the night, I
13、 woke my husband and rushed to East Tennessee Childrens Hospital. Our placement was waiting for us in the emergency room, sick and lack of nutrition. It didnt take long for us to realize the full depth of her suffering. Six months later, her halfbrother came to us by our request. We now had five chi
14、ldren under our care.On August 12, 2016, our family of seven walked into a small courtroom. The childrens lawyer and social worker were there. With just a few words, our adoption was finalized. These two amazing children werent going home, because they were already home. We are their forever family,
15、 and they are our forever children. We may not be able to change the entire world, but we have changed the world entirely for our new children.4. How did the author feel about her hospital work?A. Lacking in motivation.B. Unusually demanding.C. Filled with challenges.D. Packed with chances.5. What l

18、To begin the kids* adoption in her home.CThe kakapo, a bird that lives in New Zealand, is not designed for survival. Weighing up to 4 kilograms, it is the worlds fattest parrot. It mates（交配）only when the rimu tree is in fruit, which happens every few years. It developed gradually in the absence of l
19、andbased natural enemies, so instead of flying above the trees it walks like a duck across the dry forest floor. When it moves unsteadily across something that might kill it, it will stand still.Such unusual characteristics turned it into fast food for human settlers, and for the cats and rats they
20、brought with them. It seemed to have disappeared by the 1970s, until scientists came across two undiscovered populations in the countrys south. These survivors were eventually moved to small enemyfree islands, where researchers have spent decades trying to get them to breed（繁殖）.The scientists* patie
21、nce is finally rewarded. The rimu was in fruit this year, and more than 80 chicks hatched, making this the best breeding season on record. Many have survived into adolescence, increasing the number of adult kakapos by a third, to 200 birds.Another danger to the kakapo is a lack of genetic diversity.
22、 This is one reason why fewer than half of kakapo egg hatch. By arranging the genome（基因组）of every living bird, scientists can identify closely -related individuals and put them on different islands. Every bird is fitted with something to track its slightest movement. If a female mates with an unsuit
23、able male, the process can be stopped.All these efforts cost almost New Zealand $1.3 million this breeding season. Yet the kakapo*s future still looks unsafe. Earlier this year a severe disease tore through the population. And tiny as the number of kakapos is, space is running out on the two islands
24、 where most of them live. New enemyfree settlement must soon be found.8. Which of the following is a danger for the survival of the kakapo?A. It is the smallest bird in the world.B. It lacks exercise and usually stands still.C. It adapts slowly in genetic development.D. It cant respond actively when

Two survivors were moved to enemyfree islands.D.50 chicks hatched have survived into adults this year.10. Why did the scientists
26、 put kakapo in different islands?A. To stop closelyrelated kakapos mating. B. To increase the population of kakapo.C. To stop females mating with males.D. To hatch more kakapos* eggs.11. According to the author, the efforts to protect the kakapo in New Zealand areA. successful B. unsafe C. doubtful
27、D. inadequateDNew and improved.* These words are put in so many marketing campaigns that we tend to accept them as linked. But many new drugs arent an improvement over the best existing drug for a given condition, and the fast drugapproval processes in recent years have added to the uncertainty abou
28、t their advantages.A recent report in the British Medical Journal,HNew Drugs: Where Did We Go Wrong and What Can We Do Better?,1 analysed the issue. The authors looked at 216 drugs approved between 2011 and 2017; 152 were newly developed, and 64 were existing medicine approved for new uses. Only 25%
29、 offered a major advantage over the established treatment, and fully 58% had no confirmed added benefit to reduce symptoms or improve healthrelated quality of life.This doesnt mean theres no added benefit/1 lead author Wieseler said. It just means we have no positive proof. Either we have no studies
30、 or have studies not good enough.Wieseler and her coauthors work for a German institute which evaluates new treatments and advises on whether the countrys health care system should pay a premium(补贴)for them. Such organizations, known as health technology assessment (HTA) agencies, work a little diff
31、erently in the US, says Sean Tunis, a researcher in Baltimore: If payers think a new drug isnt better than an existing drug, these agencies will require that hospitals try the cheaper drug first.”Germanys HTA demands trials to prove that a new treatment beats the existing standard. This isnt always
32、practical. For one thing, such studies can be expensive and timeconsuming, with no guarantee of success. Secondly, it can discourage panies from attempting to develop new alternatives. This is already happening. Drug developers are increasingly focused on areas where there are no good treatments to
33、pete with, such as rare diseases.This lack of meaningful data to guide patients is a major point of Wieseler*s paper. With accelerated approval, there are more products approved, with a greater amount of uncertainty about risks and benefits. But there are other solutions besides drug trials. One ide
34、a is to require postmarket studies to track the effectiveness of newly approved drugs a step too often neglected.12. What message does the recent report convey?A. Improved drugs have advantages over old ones.B. The approval processes for new drugs are too fast.C. Many new drugs have no improved adva
35、ntages.D. Before 2017 no improvement was made to drugs.13. What will US HTA agencies do when no advantage is found in new drugs?A. Get hospitals to use the cheaper drugs. B. Remove government premium on them.C. Arrange financial support for the patients. D. Put new drugs on further trials and studie
36、s.14. What*s the disadvantage of Germanys HTA trial demands?A. Making drug panies think of illegal ways to cut cost.B. Holding panies back from improving existing drugs.C. Getting patients to depend on the government for support.D. Pushing panies to try alternatives for existing drugs.15. What is th
37、e best title for the text?A. The Advantage of Existing DrugsB. Misunderstanding of New and Old DrugsC. Peoples Preference for New or Old Drugs D. A Dilemma with New Drug Alternatives 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。From Mozart to pop music, tons of people enjoy listeni
38、ng to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Many believe that music helps improve creativity. But an international study is challenging that viewpoint 16To e to their conclusions, researchers had participants plete verbal（文字的）problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting i
39、n a quiet room.17 They found that background musicsignificantly hurt the participants* ability to plete tasks associated with verbal creativity.The tasks were simple word games.18 Then, they were asked to find a single wordassociated with all three that could be bined to form a mon phrase or word.

40、articipants pleted the tasks in either a quiet room, or while exposed to three different types of music: music with unfamiliar lines, instrumental music, or music with familiar lines.Dr. McLatchie and his colleagues conclude that music interferes with（干扰）the verbal working memory of the brain.19 Als
41、o, as far as the library background noises having seemingly noeffect, the researchers believe that is the case because library noises create an environment of steady state that doesnt interrupt concentration.20 Instead, they demonstrate that music, regardless of the presence of its content,consisten

Then again, they were tested while music was played in the background.D. Psychologists say that their findings indicate musi
43、c actually blocks creativity.E. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, dial, and flower.F. Before the experiment, the participants didnt study the music they would listen.G. To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music builds up creativity.第二部分语言知识运用
