I recall when I was a young girl back in Canada,I was sitting and watching a baseball game on TV with my father and we started to debate the importance of sports.Different from my father,I argued with all the overconfidence of a teenager that sports is more than just a hobby to keep us physically healthy and went as far as claiming that"There would be more wars if we didn't have sports!"

As an adult,my teenage tendencies of exaggeration(夸张) may have faded but I still firmly believe that sports is more than just a hobby for both participants and audience.The challenging times we are all living through right now with coronavirus is proof to this.The effect of cancelling

all sports from professional leagues right down to amateur budding athletic programs,can be felt by millions of people worldwide.To many the social emotional impact is stronger than the physical.The loss of the sense of community,of belonging,and of an extended family is real for many girls,boys,men and women everywhere.Others are feeling physical challenges as well as they are struggling to stay active during these times.

But the human race is incredible and adaptable in tough situations,and sports once again is playing a role.Sports teams are staying in touch online and are a source of much needed support,love and laughter in these times.So many professional athletes are playing vital roles through this crisis by sharing their messages of support and at times,making valuable monetary donations to the cause.Even in areas of isolation(隔离),people are coming out on their balconies and leading their neighbours through a workout programme to help them stay active.Others are turning to online workout programmes to follow.Once again,sports is finding its way.

So,in challenging times such as now,people are still empowered to continue their sports journey and stay strong and healthy.

24.What may the author's father agree about sports?

A.It is a personal hobby. B.It boosts confidence.

C.It affects social relations. D.It helps avoid wars.

25.How does life without sports affect people?

A.They lack family connection. B.They have lost their hobbies.

C.They feel bored more than lonely. D.They suffer both in body and mind.

26.How do isolated people respond to the tough situations?

A.Struggle to be athletes. B.Try to stay physically active.

C.Make donations to good causes. D.Design new sports programmes.

27.What is the best title?

A.Sports reduces risks in our lives B.Sports continues to offer strength

C.Sports makes the impossible possible D.Sports has new functions in the pandemic

The different parts of a health care system have different focuses. A hospital's stroke(中风) unit monitors blood flow in the brain. The cardiac unit is interested in that same flow, but through and from the heart. Each collection of equipment and data is effective in its own field. Thus, like the story of blind men feeling an elephant, modern health care offers many separate pictures of a patient, but rarely a useful united one.

On top of all this, the instruments that doctors use to monitor health are often expensive, as is the training required to use them. That combined cost is too high for the medical system to scan regularly, for early signs of illness, so patients are at risk of heart disease or a stroke.

An unusual research project called AlzEye, run by Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, in cooperation with University College, London(UCL), may change this. It is attempting to use the eye as a window through which signals about the health of other organs could be discovered. The doctors in charge of it, Siegfried Wagner and Pearse Keane, are studying Moorfields' database of eye scans, which offers a detailed picture of the health of the retina(视网膜).

The project will go a step further:With the information about other aspects of patients' health collected from other hospitals around England, doctors will be able to look for more accurate signs of disease through eye scans.

The Moorfields data set has lots of linked cases to work with--far more than any similar project. For instance, the UK Biobank, one of the world's leading collections of medical data about individual people, contains 631 cases of a"major cardiac adverse event". The Moorfields data contain about 12, 000 such. The Biobank has data on about 1, 500 stroke patients. Moorfields has 11, 900. For the disease on which the Moorfields project will focus to start with dementia, the data set holds 15, 100 cases. The only comparable study has 86.

Wagner and Keane are searching for patterns in the eye that show the emergence of disease elsewhere in the body. If such patterns could be recognized reliably, the potential impact would be huge.

28.Why does the author mention “the story of blind men feeling an elephant” in Paragraph 1?

A.To claim the ineffectiveness of our health care system.

B.To tell the similarity in various health care units.

C.To explain the limitation of modern health care.

D.To show the complexity of patients' pictures

29.What does the underlined word "this"in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.The challenge of making advanced medical instruments.

B.The high risk of getting a heart disease or a stroke

C.The inconvenience of modern health care service.

D.The incomplete and expensive health monitoring.

30.How does AlzEye work?

A.By thoroughly examining one's body organs.

B.By identifying one's state of health through eye scans

C.By helping doctors discover one's diseases of the eye

D.By comparing the eye-scan data from different hospitals.

31.What can be inferred about the Moorfields's project from Paragraph 5?

A.It takes advantage of abundantly available medical data.

B.It makes the collection of medical data more convenient.

C.It improves the Moorfields' competitiveness in the medical field.

D.It strengthens data sharing between the Moorfields and the Biobank.

When planning for a new job, many people will go through a job interview.36__________ Fear of the unknown, fear of public rejection and fear of personal criticism all come together in one meeting.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。Now, parents and students separate into two groups. You will be reunited at the end of the campus tour. ”

Groups of incoming freshmen happily left their parents upon hearing this announcement. I was less than thrilled about starting college, let alone leaving my mother's side to tour the campus with other freshmen;I felt a little anxious.

We followed the senior tour guide. The other freshmen chatted and made casual introductions as I dragged behind. How could I have believed I was ready for this?After all, it had only been a few months since I left the hospital. I was feeling better for the first time in years. But college. . . ?

My thinking was interrupted by a sweet female voice, "Hi, I'm Jennifer. " "I'm Lauren, "I replied. "Where do you prefer to live?At home or on campus?"she smiled. "I'm not sure, "I said. "You should live on campus!It will be a lot of fun!"she said. Before I could reply, the tour guide announced it was time to create our schedules and select the courses we wanted to take.

We crowded into the Student Activity Center. Three seniors handed out thick course bulletins(课程公告)and forms that needed to be filled out. All around me, the sounds of turning papers and writing sounded like those given by an alarm clock. Others seemed to be moving through the process quickly but I hadn't even opened my course catalog(目录).

"Focus, "I told myself. "Just read through the catalog and find the courses you like and a schedule that works. "Psychology A or B, Geology 101, English, History, sections 1, 2, 3. . . The list went on and on.

I panicked and almost started to cry. How was I supposed to know how to complete it?I was just relearning how to live in the real world, and they wanted me to make a schedule. How I wished someone could help me.

Paragraph 1:

Soon, other freshmen were handing in their forms.__________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________
