Center for Excellence in Child and Adolescent Health Research
Our research center was created to promote the health of babies，children，adolescents，and young adults by advancing meaningful and creative clinical（临床的）research.Through this website，we brings participants，families，researchers，health care providers，and the community into our research home where we can learn from one another.Together，we can promote the health of children and youth by advancing meaningful and innovative clinical research.
For Families & Caregivers
Currently，guidelines for treating children are often based on data from adult studies.To improve clinical care of children，more studies are needed focusing on children's health with the goal to better diagnose，treat，and prevent the diseases that are specific to children.Learn how you can help doctors and nurses provide the best care.
For Teens & Young Adults
We need adolescents and young adults like you to help doctors and nurses provide the best care they can.Doctors and nurses use what they learn from research studies to take care of patients，but most of this research has been done with adults.Your bodies are different from older adults and your health needs are different too!We need you to help us learn about the best treatments for teens and young adults and you can make a difference.
For Health Care Providers
Considering the state of children treatment，child health research is the best way to advance medical care for children.We need children of different ages，genders，races，and neighborhoods to participate in studies so doctors will know which treatments work best for children.

2．Since I was born and brought up in a rural town，I have a great interest in nature.Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college，I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there.So after I finished the study program，I went to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories.
I clearly remember the sixth night in Yellowknife.Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8：00 p．m.and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.
The northern lights were flickering（闪烁） in the sky！I was shocked and just stood there with my mouth open.I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.
Since that night，whenever it was sunny，I went outside at night and looked at the sky.It was so cold that I lost all feeling in my hands and feet.
As I took pictures of the northern lights，I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights.They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky.After that，suddenly，they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while，which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen.Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky，it is very hard to get good pictures.
The stronger the sun acts，the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky.That's because they come about from the collisions（碰撞）between atmospheric gases and the solar wind.Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active，which leads to the best northern lights.And the colors of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and the kinds of gases.
（1）Why did the host mother ask the author to go out？ 　 　
A．She wanted to take a picture of him.
B．She wanted to take a walk with him.
C．She wanted to tell him something important.
D．She wanted him to see the northern lights.
（2）The author forgot to take pictures after going out because 　 　.
A．the host mother didn't remind him to take the camera
B．he was shocked by the wonderful sight
C．the lights flickering in the sky disappeared too soon
D．he lost all feeling in his hands and feet
（3）When is the best time to see the northern lights？ 　 　
A．When they appear in the north part of the sky.
B．When they come down to the south part of the sky.
C．When they are between the north and south.
D．When they rise in the east part of the sky.
（4）What does the last paragraph mainly tell us？ 　 　
A．Ways to take good pictures.
B．The relationship between the sun and the northern lights.
C．The colors of the northern lights.
D．The time of the best northern lights.
3．（2021 保定一模）On paper，hydrogen（H2）looks like a dream fuel.Coal，oil，and natural gas produce carbon dioxide，which warms the earth when burned，Hydrogen produces pure water.Hydrogen packs more energy into less space than a battery（but certainly less than petrol）.Also，empty tanks（燃料箱）can be refilled with hydrogen much faster than refilling empty batteries with electricity.
While in practice，things are trickier.Storing a meaningful amount of hydrogen gas requires pressing it several hundred﹣fold.Changing it into the liquid form is another option，but it should be cooled to ﹣253℃.Both processes require a heavy and strong tank.While a 700 bar tank is acceptable for a city bus or a truck，adapting it for use in small vehicles is very difficult because the pressure during refilling would be too great.
The solution？Powerpaste.
A German team of researchers，led by Marcus Vogt，have come up with an interesting "powerpaste"，which can store hydrogen energy at atmospheric pressure，ready for release when needed.It is so named because it comes in tubes and looks like toothpaste（牙膏），not in its traditional form of gas.
The main ingredient（原料）of the paste is magnesium hydride，a substance that reacts with water to form hydrogen.The escaped hydrogen can then be directed into a fuel cell，where it reacts with oxygen from the air to produce electric power.
Refueling is very simple，as instead of going to a filling station，drivers and riders can simply replace an empty tube with a new one and refill the water tank.
Given that powerpaste only begins to break down at temperatures of around 250℃ it remains safe even when a vehicle stands in the baking sun for hours.
However，we will have to be patient.Just because researchers have succeeded in developing a new fueling way does not mean that we can expect to see such vehicles on the road anytime soon.It will indeed be several years before this concept is turned into reality.
（1）As a fuel，what is the advantage of hydrogen over oil？ 　 　
A．Refilling empty tanks will be more convenient.
B．It is less likely to worsen global warming.
C．More energy can be packed in the same space.
D．It will produce pure water for people to drink.
（2）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？ 　 　
A．The practical difficulties to use hydrogen as fuel in small vehicles.
B．The detailed processes of adapting a strong tank in small vehicles.
C．The differences in fueling between large vehicles and small ones.
D．The tricks of building strong tanks in small vehicles.
（3）The author mentions the refueling process to show that powerpaste is 　 　.
A．inexpensive
B．powerful
C．convenient
D．environment﹣friendly
（4）Why does the author call on the readers to be patient？ 　 　
A．Powerpaste﹣driven vehicles sometimes move very slowly on the road.
B．Practical use of powerpaste﹣driven vehicles will not come very soon.
C．Powerpaste﹣driven vehicles can only work after being in the sun for hours.
D．It will be years before the researchers work out the concept of powerpaste.
4．Nowadays，more and more employers and employees work online either full﹣time or part﹣time，and that number is continuing growing.It's believed that flying around the world for face﹣to﹣face company meetings is a waste of time and money.An effective choice to get rid of it is to use Web meetings.
A large of group presentations，training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face﹣to﹣face experience.Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters.Besides，Web meetings can be recorded for later use.
Presenters can take real﹣time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting.Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users' desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents.If so the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention，and how long the distraction lasts.In this way，the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.
Web meetings can work well because they're hosted on a server（服务器）.Images from the presenter's desktop are taken，uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have access to the server.Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and "serve" them back to thousands of users at the same time.
Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers.They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on﹣site，or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the off﹣site provider worry about hosting the meetings.The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings，the average number of people attending the meetings，and the quality of engineering and information technology.
Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business.With all the technologies today，the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.
（1）In what way do some Web meeting software programs help improve the meetings？ 　 　
A．By tracking the users' state.
B．By giving useful suggestions.
C．By sharing detailed technical data.
D．By providing other presenters' videos.
（2）It's better for a company to buy a Web meeting server if it 　 　.
A．relies little on the quality of IT
B．holds Web meetings twice a week
C．doesn't have so many employees
D．has branches in the same city or province
（3）What can we infer about Web meetings？ 　 　
A．Web meetings help presenters stay focused.
B．Web meetings work without the help of a server.
C．Web meetings determine the quality of engineering.
D．Web meetings are likely to be widely used.
（4）The purpose of this passage is 　 　.
A．to advertise servers used in Web meetings
B．to persuade companies to hold Web meetings
C．to introduce the benefits of using Web meetings
D．to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Web meetings

6．（2018春 张店区校级月考）Sometimes your expectations don't survive．But you have to make it through．
After a lengthy visa application procedure，I left my father with our dog，jumped on a flight，and there I was in London．Since Europe is an aspiration in my country，I had imagined it as a place where things always worked perfectly．I was alone in dealing with all kinds of problems as they arose，that was alright and this is how I became my own "special person" during my Erasmus exchange．
The accommodation I could afford was far from the city．To make things worse，I was new to many things，and definitely an outsider．But it wasn't an exception to carelessness， I found out．My dorm was in a silent neighborhood．Little did I know that those calm streets would he visited by loud fire trucks…And because of me!
That morning，I closed the kitchen door after placing some bread in the toaster．I was still half asleep and looking for what to wear．For some reason，the automatic mechanism of the toaster to push the slices up didn't work．When I went back to the kitchen．It was full of thick white smoke．Coughing hard，I opened the windows，stepped outside the door for a breath，and then went in again to reach for the fire extinguisher（灭火器）．It was the first time I used one，and had to get out of the kitchen to be able to see how to unlock it．It was only then the lire alarm went off!I went in again and made sure I put off the fire．
Nothing was like how I planned．A few times I hung out in the school cafeteria，but couldn't make friends．I went to discover the city，alone．Independence wasn't something to be ashamed of after all．I wish I had made friends with people，but it turned out that I had to learn I wasn't in need of others' company to enjoy life．I tried to make the best of my time，thinking that being alone is a blessing too，just like being with friends is．My international experiences that followed definitely made me more social，but now I know that being alone is not a weakness，but a part of life embrace．Just like our mistakes，carelessness or bad luck，I can say it was during my time in London that I learnt I was，despite everything，a strong and special person who can cope with （处理） anything that comes her way．

7．I picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip.I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China.So，naturally I wanted to take a trip to Canada.
Montreal，the second largest city in Canada，is a four﹣hour drive from my home in New Hampshire.We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada.It was the first time I had ever driven across an international border.We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations.
After dropping off our bags at our hotel，we were immediately walking down the famous St.Catherine's Street.While we walked，two things surprised us：how cold it was and how well everyone dressed.The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show.Both men and women look like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine.
All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold.Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America.To hide from the cold we went into a small diner because we wanted to order Poutine，a very popular snack in Montreal.It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy（肉汁）.It is delicious.
However，we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is French.It is actually the fifth largest French﹣speaking city in the world.But since the rest of Canada speak English，plenty of people were there to help.
We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical churches and monuments in Montreal.But at night we'd head to the very modern dance clubs and bars.Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go.

A．The men and women are really the fashion models of a magazine.
B．The portraits of the men and women are printed in the magazine.
C．They are so well dressed that they look like models in a magazine.
D．The men and women like to copy characters in magazines.
（2）Which of the following can NOT be concluded from Paragraphs 3﹣4？ 　 　
A．The author and his friends couldn't wait to explore the city.
B．The author wasn't used to the weather of Montreal.
C．The citizens from Montreal care much about what they wear.
D．Montreal often holds fashion shows.
（3）What can we infer from the passage？ 　 　
A．The author often went to China for a visit.
B．The people they met in the diner were kind and helpful.
C．All the people in the diner were locals.
D．The author went to Montreal on business.
（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？ 　 　
A．The author listened to Canadian radio programmes and chose their first stop as advised.
B．The author took a trip to Montreal﹣the third largest city in Canada.

D．Montreal is a city which is both traditional and modern.
8．In 2019，National Geographic carried out a survey of 3，500 people about travel styles and outlooks for future vacations.The results suggested an increased preference for trips that are sustainable（可持续的） and encourage close connections with places and cultures.A similar study made by the Adventure Travel Trade Association（ATTA） echoed this view.
"Recent data shows that slow and immersive （沉浸式的） travel is on the rise，" says Shannon Stowell，CEO of the ATTA， "The days of packing on to a bus to set off，take a picture，and get back within a day are old.It has always been the preference for adventure travel companies to provide experiences of one kind with people，wild﹣life，or nature."
The growing concept of "slow travel " parallels the popular slow food movement and encourages meaningful connections with places，people，nature，and oneself through sustainable and environmentally friendly experiences.Instead of concentrating on the itinerary（行程） of a particular journey，slow travel encouraged a change in attitudes and thinking ways that can bring emotional，cultural，and even physical benefits.It means a journey of slow travel can be taken just as easily in a nearby town as across the sea.Choosing a homestay rather than a hotel，exploring the history of an unfamiliar neighbourhood，or venturing into the wilderness are all examples of slow travel.Adding nature seems to increase the benefits even more.
A 2015 study from Stanford University published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that spending time in nature reduced negative thinking ways，pressure，and depression.Briefly，being in nature makes us happier.Though this fact seems to be true，not everyone is comfortable strapping on a backpack and heading for the hills.Pack trips，one kind of slow travel，however，make it easy，with four﹣legged transportation，an expert guide，and a suite of "at﹣home" luxuries.
Slow travel provides a good choice for those who want to slow down and enjoy a different pace instead of seeing multiple national parks in a single weekend.
（1）Which of the following may be the opinion of Shannon Stowell？ 　 　
A．Slow travel will not be popular in the future.
B．Adventure travel companies like slow travel better.
C．People nowadays like to visit a place to take pictures and come back within one day.
D．Today，more and more people may prefer to experience the life and culture while travelling.
（2）What does the underlined word "parallel" in paragraph 3 probably mean？ 　 　
A．Give thanks to.
B．Be similar to.
C．Praise.
D．Recommend.
（3）According to the text，which of the following about slow travel is NOT true？ 　 　
A．A tight schedule needs to be arranged for slow travel.
B．Slow travel can connect travelers with local culture.
C．Nature plays an important role in slow travel.
D．Slow travel can make a positive impact
（4）What is the best title for the text？ 　 　
A．The Slower，the Better
B．Slow Travel，Better than Adventure Travel
C．Slowing Down and Feeling Deeply
D．Pack Trips，One Kind of Slow Travel
9．In situations where you're in charge，such as babysitting（做保姆）or caring for someone with a health condition，you need to be prepared in advance for emergencies.Here are some things you can do so you can respond quickly if something happens：
Make sure there's a list of emergency numbers near each telephone in the house.Most areas in the United States are covered by 911 service.But if you live somewhere that does not have 911 service，have numbers for the police department，the fire department，and emergency medical services handy.If you have a cell phone，it's a good idea to program important numbers into your phone.
Keep on hand numbers for adults you should call.If you're babysitting，make sure you have the number and location where the child's parents will be，and if possible，a cell phone or pager number.If it's a true emergency﹣a child you're caring for has stopped breathing，for example，always call 911 first and then call the parents.
If you're looking after someone with a health condition，know when the person needs to take any medications﹣particularly medicines for breathing or heart problems.Have the person's insurance information on hand in case you need to rush to the hospital.It's a good idea to keep all this information written down near the phone so that you can find it quickly if you need it.
Make sure the home or building you're in has working smoke alarms.
Make sure your family or the family you're caring for has a fire escape plan and that children know their outdoor meeting point in case of an emergency.
Take a first﹣aid class to learn CPR，which stands for cardiopulmonary（心肺的）resuscitation（复苏），a combination of rescue breathing（mouth﹣to﹣mouth resuscitation）and chest compressions.
（1）The writer's purpose in writing the text is to 　 　.
A．give information about family problems
B．show the relationship between situations and emergencies
C．report on the findings of a study with a health condition
D．give people some tips on preparation for emergencies
（2）When the child you are babysitting is in an emergency，you should 　 　.
A．call the mother first
B．call the father first
C．call 911 first
D．rush to hospital first
（3）We know from the text "CPR" 　 　.
A．stands for a first﹣aid class
B．stops circulation of blood
C．helps someone in an emergency
D．provides numbers available in an emergency
（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？ 　 　
A．You can always call 911 wherever an emergency happens.
B．A cell phone is not enough for any emergencies.
C．A babysitter should know the number and location of the child's parents.
D．If you are caring for a patient，you should know something about medicine.
10．Bethany Simpson，a pupil at St Columb Major Academy，Cornwall，bravely stepped in when her stepfather Robert Hoskins stopped breathing on March 15.She delivered CPR（心肺复苏术） before the ambulance arrived.
Bethany's mother Jane and Robert were watching TV in bed when both of them had fallen asleep，but Jane woke up and noticed Robert's breathing had become weak and hard.Jane quickly called 999 and followed the operator's advice，including moving him onto his side to make him more comfortable.But when Robert stopped breathing completely and the operator told her to give CPR，Jane completely froze.
"I panicked（恐慌） and said 'I can't do it'，" said Jane. "Fortunately，Bethany heard me scream，came into the bedroom and said 'It's OK，Mum.I know what to do.' She was so confident and took charge. " Bethany performed CPR that kept Robert alive.
Robert，who is now recovering at home，said，"I would just like to sincerely thank St John Ambulance for teaching the children first aid.If it wasn't for them and Bethany，I wouldn't be here." The ten﹣year﹣old says she doesn't believe she is a hero. "I'm just glad my dad is still here，" she added.
Both Robert and Jane believe the government should ask all schools to teach first aid. "This incident just shows why it's important to teach everyone first aid especially in schools，" said Jane."Without my daughter and the training St John Ambulance gave her，Robert would be dead and I would be heartbroken.I'm so proud of Bethany and so grateful."

B．First aid is especially useful to kids.
C．Everyone should be equipped with first﹣aid knowledge.
D．Children should be taught first aid as early as possible.
11．A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow was jumping around.The crow watched them with disdain（鄙视）.
"You have no flying skills at all!" he said to the swans."All you can do is to move your wings.Can you turn over in the air？No，that's beyond you.Let's have a flying competition.I'll show you what real flying is!"
One of the swans，a strong young male，took up the challenge.The crow flew up and began to show his skills.He flew in circles，performed other flying tricks，and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan's turn.He flew up，and began flying over the sea.The crow flew after him，making all kinds of comments about his flying.They flew on and on till they couldn't see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides.The crow was making fewer and fewer comments.He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air，and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended not to notice，and said，"Why do you keep touching the water，brother？Is that another trick？"
"No，" said the crow.He knew he had lost the competition."I'm in trouble because of my pride!If you don't help me，I'll lose my life…"

12．When was the last time you saw some dolphins at an aquarium？Was it fun to watch？Do you think the dolphins enjoyed it？A new film shows just exactly where some of these dolphins come from.And it isn't pleasant.
The Cove is a documentary（纪录片） film with a lot of blood. . .dolphins' blood.It's all about dolphin drive hunting，which is a method of hunting dolphins that fishermen use.They use boats to drive the dolphins into a bay or onto a beach.Once there，the dolphins are prevented from escaping and are then killed in the water with knives or spears.
The dolphins are mostly hunted for their meat，but some are captured and ended up in dolphinariums（海豚馆），including the world famous Sea World parks.This form of dolphin killing takes place in many places around the world.There are dolphin drive hunts in the Solomon Islands，Peru and the Faroe Islands.
The Cove focuses on a particular dolphin hunt near the town of Taiji in Japan.
Every year，more than 2，000 dolphins are driven into a cove near the town and killed.The documentary film is directed by former National Geographic photographer Louis Psihoyos，and was made secretly throughout 2007 using underwater microphones，and a hidden camera.Also appearing in the film is Ric O' Barry，the director of Saving Japan dolphins，and also a marine mammal expert.He trained dolphins for the popular 1960s TV series Flipper.He is praised for having started the dolphin entertainment industry but has spent most of his life fighting against it.
So what do the people of Taiji think about it？Many feel that they are being unfairly selected out.The town of Taiji has a 400﹣year history of whale and dolphin hunting and its fishermen only catch about 20% of Japan's yearly dolphin quota（份额）.
Masashi Nishimura，manager of the Japan Fisheries Association's International section said， "I don't think it's a big topic here，" he said， "as long as the killing is humane（人道的），dolphins are like other animals to us."
But for many people，dolphins are special.They are clearly highly intelligent mammals and they often form strong bonds of friendship with humans.Primates such as chimpanzees，gorillas and orangutans are all protected species.Should these levels of protection be extended to marine mammals too？Many believe they should.

Eco﹣Resort Management
Ecotourism is often regarded as a form of nature﹣based tourism and has become an important alternative source of tourists．In addition to providing the traditional resort﹣leisure product，it has been argued that ecotourism resort（度假村） management should have a particular focus on best﹣practice environmental management．Couran Cove Resort is such a tourist attraction located on South Stradbroke Island，Australia．
Sustainable（可持续的） Practices of Couran Cove Resort
South Stradbroke Island is separated from the mainland by the Broadwater，which is home to a wide range of plant communities．Located on the offshore island，the Resort is only accessible by means of water transportation．It provides hourly ferry service from the harbour on the mainland to and from the island．Within the Resort，transport modes include walking trails，bicycle tracks and the beach train．The reception area is the counter of the shop which has not changed in 8 years at least．The accommodation is an octagonal（八角形的） building．These are large rooms that are clean but the equipment is old and in some cases just working．The ceiling fan only works at high speed for example．Beds are hard but clean．There is a television，a radio，an old air conditioner and a small fridge in each room．
As an ecotourism﹣based resort，most of the planning and development of the attraction has been concentrated on the need to co﹣exist with the natural environment of South Stradbroke Island to achieve sustainable development．
Water and Energy Management
There is groundwater at the centre of the island，which has a maximum height of 3 metres above sea level．The water supply is recharged by rainfall and is commonly known as an freshwater aquifer（含水层）．Couran Cove Island Resort obtains its water supply by tapping into this aquifer and collecting it through a pipe．In order to narrow the water uses，all laundry activities are carried out on the mainland．The Resort uses LPG power station rather than a fuel oil station for its energy supply，supplemented（补充） by wind power，which has reduced greenhouse emissions by 70%．Hot water in the eco﹣cabins and for some of the Resort's vehicles is solar﹣powered．Water efficient fittings are also installed in showers and toilets．Visitors who stay at the Resort are encouraged to monitor their water and energy usage by an in﹣house television system，and are rewarded with prizes （such as a free return trip to the Resort） accordingly if their usage level is low．
Evaluation
In three years of operation，Couran Cove Island Resort has won 23 international and national awards．It has effectively implemented contemporary environmental management practices．However，the Resort s growth will eventually be limited by its carrying capacity，and quantity control should be incorporated in the management strategy of the Resort．

14．Few people would question the value of taking part in sports for young people.With proper training，supervision，protective equipment and techniques，and a proper emphasis on winning，sports can develop a healthy body and spirit and a life﹣long interest in being active and fit.Without such measures，childhood sports can lead to injuries and even disabilities or death.
Even in the best conditions，no activity can be risk free.But most serious hazards are preventable.Cyclists and football players can reduce their risks by wearing helmets；hockey players by wearing masks；basketball and tennis players by wearing eye guards；baseball players by wearing batting helmets.
Besides，risks to individual players can often be found，and thus prevented，through a properly performed medical exam before a child plays.For accidents that may not be preventable，having an emergency plan and first aid equipment and someone trained to use the equipment can be lifesaving.
Still，each year，according to the American College of Sports Medicine，more than 775，000 children under 14 are treated in emergency rooms for sports injuries，nearly half of them preventable.An estimated 30000 athletes experience exercise﹣related head illnesses each year，and almost all of them should have been avoided.
Further，from half to three fourths of sports related concussions （脑震荡） are never even diagnosed；the injured are often sent back to play too soon and put at risk of another more serious brain damaging concussion.To help reduce these risks，the National Centre for Sports Safety，with the National Athletic Trainers Association，offers a three hour online safety course for coaches for ＄28 at www.SportsSafety.Org.
（1）Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "hazards" in Paragraph 2？ 　 　
A．Mistakes.
B．Diseases.
C．Dangers.
D．Situations.
（2）What can be inferred from the passage？ 　 　
A．Most head illnesses are related with exercise.
B．Children under 14 are more easily hurt in sports.
C．None of the head illnesses should have happened.
D．People do not pay enough attention to the prevention of injuries.
（3）What can coaches expect to learn from the online safety course？ 　 　
A．How to deal with the injured properly.
B．How to cure brain damaging concussion.
C．How to tell whether an athlete suffers brain damaging concussion.
D．How to cut down the chances of the young athletes being injured.
15．（2023秋 枣强县校级期末）The International Space Station was a small three﹣room "apartment" when the first crew（工作人员）moved in.Twenty years later，the complex has a lookout tower，three toilets，six sleeping places and 12 rooms.
The first crew﹣American Bill Shepherd and Russian Sergei Krikalev and Yun Gidzenko﹣took off from Kazakhstan on October 31st，2000.Two days later，they swung open the space station doors，clasping their hands in unity.
Shepherd，who served as the station commander（指挥官），compared it to living on a ship at sea.The three spent most of their time operating the equipment.Conditions were primitive，compared with now.Installations（安装）and repairs took hours at the new space station，compared with minutes on the ground. "Each day seemed to have its own set of challenges，" Shepherd recalled.
The space station has transformed into a complex that's almost as long as a football field with 13 kilometers of electrical wiring，an acre of solar panels and three high﹣tech l bs.
The space station marked two decades of a steady stream of people living there，While men still lead the pack，more crews include women.Two U.S.women have served as the space stations top manders typically are American or Russian，but have also come from Belgium，Germany，Italy，Canada and Japan.While African﹣Americans have made short visits to the space station，the first Black resident is expected to arrive.
"Many tasks like human Mars trips can benefit from the past two decades of international experience and cooperation，" Shepherd said. "If you look at the space station program today，it's a scheme for how to do it.All those questions about how this should be organized and what it's going to look like are already behind us."
（1）What can we learn about the International Space Station？ 　 　
A．It began as a Russian effort.
B．It is under constant construction.
C．It was set up on October 31st，2000.
D．It can accommodate 12 people in all.

2．Since I was born and brought up in a rural town，I have a great interest in nature.Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college，I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there.So after I finished the study program，I went to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories.
I clearly remember the sixth night in Yellowknife.Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8：00 p．m.and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.
The northern lights were flickering（闪烁） in the sky！I was shocked and just stood there with my mouth open.I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.
Since that night，whenever it was sunny，I went outside at night and looked at the sky.It was so cold that I lost all feeling in my hands and feet.
As I took pictures of the northern lights，I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights.They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky.After that，suddenly，they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while，which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen.Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky，it is very hard to get good pictures.
The stronger the sun acts，the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky.That's because they come about from the collisions（碰撞）between atmospheric gases and the solar wind.Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active，which leads to the best northern lights.And the colors of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and the kinds of gases.
（1）Why did the host mother ask the author to go out？ 　D　
A．She wanted to take a picture of him.
B．She wanted to take a walk with him.
C．She wanted to tell him something important.
D．She wanted him to see the northern lights.

B．he was shocked by the wonderful sight
C．the lights flickering in the sky disappeared too soon
D．he lost all feeling in his hands and feet
（3）When is the best time to see the northern lights？ 　C　
A．When they appear in the north part of the sky.
B．When they come down to the south part of the sky.
C．When they are between the north and south.
D．When they rise in the east part of the sky.
（4）What does the last paragraph mainly tell us？ 　B　
A．Ways to take good pictures.
B．The relationship between the sun and the northern lights.
C．The colors of the northern lights.
D．The time of the best northern lights.

3．（2021 保定一模）On paper，hydrogen（H2）looks like a dream fuel.Coal，oil，and natural gas produce carbon dioxide，which warms the earth when burned，Hydrogen produces pure water.Hydrogen packs more energy into less space than a battery（but certainly less than petrol）.Also，empty tanks（燃料箱）can be refilled with hydrogen much faster than refilling empty batteries with electricity.
While in practice，things are trickier.Storing a meaningful amount of hydrogen gas requires pressing it several hundred﹣fold.Changing it into the liquid form is another option，but it should be cooled to ﹣253℃.Both processes require a heavy and strong tank.While a 700 bar tank is acceptable for a city bus or a truck，adapting it for use in small vehicles is very difficult because the pressure during refilling would be too great.
The solution？Powerpaste.
A German team of researchers，led by Marcus Vogt，have come up with an interesting "powerpaste"，which can store hydrogen energy at atmospheric pressure，ready for release when needed.It is so named because it comes in tubes and looks like toothpaste（牙膏），not in its traditional form of gas.
The main ingredient（原料）of the paste is magnesium hydride，a substance that reacts with water to form hydrogen.The escaped hydrogen can then be directed into a fuel cell，where it reacts with oxygen from the air to produce electric power.
Refueling is very simple，as instead of going to a filling station，drivers and riders can simply replace an empty tube with a new one and refill the water tank.
Given that powerpaste only begins to break down at temperatures of around 250℃ it remains safe even when a vehicle stands in the baking sun for hours.
However，we will have to be patient.Just because researchers have succeeded in developing a new fueling way does not mean that we can expect to see such vehicles on the road anytime soon.It will indeed be several years before this concept is turned into reality.
（1）As a fuel，what is the advantage of hydrogen over oil？ 　B　
A．Refilling empty tanks will be more convenient.
B．It is less likely to worsen global warming.
C．More energy can be packed in the same space.
D．It will produce pure water for people to drink.
（2）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？ 　A　
A．The practical difficulties to use hydrogen as fuel in small vehicles.
B．The detailed processes of adapting a strong tank in small vehicles.
C．The differences in fueling between large vehicles and small ones.
D．The tricks of building strong tanks in small vehicles.
（3）The author mentions the refueling process to show that powerpaste is 　C　.
A．inexpensive
B．powerful
C．convenient
D．environment﹣friendly
（4）Why does the author call on the readers to be patient？ 　B　
A．Powerpaste﹣driven vehicles sometimes move very slowly on the road.
B．Practical use of powerpaste﹣driven vehicles will not come very soon.
C．Powerpaste﹣driven vehicles can only work after being in the sun for hours.
D．It will be years before the researchers work out the concept of powerpaste.
【答案】B A C B
【分析】本文是一篇科教类阅读，主要讲述了氢这种可能的燃料的相关情况。
【解答】（1）B.细节理解题。根据第一段Coal，oil，and natural gas produce carbon dioxide，which warms the earth when burned，Hydrogen produces pure water.煤、石油和天然气产生二氧化碳，燃烧时会使地球变暖，而氢产生纯水。可知，作为燃料，氢比石油具有的优点是它不太可能加剧全球变暖，故选B.
（2）A.段落大意题。根据第二段While in practice，things are trickier.而在实践中，情况就复杂多了；及第二段While a 700 bar tank is acceptable for a city bus or a truck，adapting it for use in small vehicles is very difficult because the pressure during refilling would be too great.虽然700巴的油箱可以用在城市公共汽车或卡车上，但要把它改装成适用于小型车辆却非常困难，因为加注过程中的压力太大了。可知，第二段主要讲的是在小型车辆中使用氢作为燃料的实际困难，故选A.
（3）C.推理判断题。根据倒数第三段Refueling is very simple，as instead of going to a filling station，drivers and riders can simply replace an empty tube with a new one and refill the water tank.加油很简单，司机和乘客不需要去加油站，只需用一个新管子替换空管子，然后给水箱加水。可知，作者提到了加油过程，说明给车辆加膏状氢燃料是很方便的，A.inexpensive廉价的；B.powerful强大的；C.convenient方便的；D.environment﹣friendly环境友好型，故选C.
（4）B.细节理解题。根据最后一段Just because researchers have succeeded in developing a new fueling way does not mean that we can expect to see such vehicles on the road anytime soon.It will indeed be several years before this concept is turned into reality.仅仅是因为研究人员成功地开发出了一种新的加油方式并不意味着我们可以期待在短期内看到这样的车辆上路。实际上，这一概念要成为现实还需要数年的时间。可知，作者呼吁读者要有耐心是因为这种新动力驱动的汽车的实际应用尚需时日，不会很快到来，故选B.

4．Nowadays，more and more employers and employees work online either full﹣time or part﹣time，and that number is continuing growing.It's believed that flying around the world for face﹣to﹣face company meetings is a waste of time and money.An effective choice to get rid of it is to use Web meetings.
A large of group presentations，training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face﹣to﹣face experience.Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters.Besides，Web meetings can be recorded for later use.
Presenters can take real﹣time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting.Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users' desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents.If so the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention，and how long the distraction lasts.In this way，the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.
Web meetings can work well because they're hosted on a server（服务器）.Images from the presenter's desktop are taken，uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have access to the server.Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and "serve" them back to thousands of users at the same time.
Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers.They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on﹣site，or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the off﹣site provider worry about hosting the meetings.The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings，the average number of people attending the meetings，and the quality of engineering and information technology.
Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business.With all the technologies today，the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.
（1）In what way do some Web meeting software programs help improve the meetings？ 　A　
A．By tracking the users' state.
B．By giving useful suggestions.
C．By sharing detailed technical data.
D．By providing other presenters' videos.
（2）It's better for a company to buy a Web meeting server if it 　B　.
A．relies little on the quality of IT
B．holds Web meetings twice a week
C．doesn't have so many employees
D．has branches in the same city or province
（3）What can we infer about Web meetings？ 　D　
A．Web meetings help presenters stay focused.
B．Web meetings work without the help of a server.
C．Web meetings determine the quality of engineering.
D．Web meetings are likely to be widely used.
（4）The purpose of this passage is 　C　.
A．to advertise servers used in Web meetings
B．to persuade companies to hold Web meetings
C．to introduce the benefits of using Web meetings
D．to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Web meetings
【答案】ABDC
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了网络会议在商务办公方面取代了传统的办公模式，被广泛应用。
【解答】（1）A.推理判断题。根据第三段中"Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users' desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents.（一些Web会议软件程序可以监视用户的桌面行为，看看他们是否会分心于演示文稿，并开始处理其他文档。）"可以推断，软件程序是通过跟踪听会者的状态来知道网络会议的哪一部分需要改进的。故选A。
（2）B.推理判断题。根据第五段中"The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings，the average number of people attending the meetings，and the quality of engineering and information technology.（选择取决于公司举行网络会议的频率、出席会议的平均人数以及工程和信息技术的质量。）"可知，公司可以选择购买一个特殊的网络会议服务器，也可以选择每次支付网络会议服务的费用。由此判断出如果公司每星期举行两次网络会议，使用网络会议频率比较高，那么购买一个网络会议服务器会比较划算。故选B。
（3）D.推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句"An effective choice to get rid of it is to use Web meetings.（使用网络会议是摆脱它的一个有效选择）"和最后一段中"With all the technologies today，the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.（随着当今科技的发展，传统的办公室可能很快就会成为过去）"可知，网络会议可以代替传统办公模式，随着技术发展，传统的办公室可能很快就会成为过去。因此可以推断网络会议会越来越广泛地应用。故选D。
（4）C.目的意图题。文章第一段提到"It's believed that flying around the world for face﹣to﹣face company meetings is a waste of time and money.An effective choice to get rid of it is to use Web meetings.（人们认为，为了面对面的公司会议而飞到世界各地是在浪费时间和金钱。一个有效的摆脱它的选择是使用Web会议）"和最后一段中提到"Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business.（网络会议是技术如何改变我们做生意方式的一个很好的例子）"可知，文章介绍了网络会议正在改变我们的商务方式，能避免浪费时间和金钱。所以本文的目的是介绍使用网络会议的好处。故选C。
【点评】阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。

6．（2018春 张店区校级月考）Sometimes your expectations don't survive．But you have to make it through．
After a lengthy visa application procedure，I left my father with our dog，jumped on a flight，and there I was in London．Since Europe is an aspiration in my country，I had imagined it as a place where things always worked perfectly．I was alone in dealing with all kinds of problems as they arose，that was alright and this is how I became my own "special person" during my Erasmus exchange．
The accommodation I could afford was far from the city．To make things worse，I was new to many things，and definitely an outsider．But it wasn't an exception to carelessness， I found out．My dorm was in a silent neighborhood．Little did I know that those calm streets would he visited by loud fire trucks…And because of me!
That morning，I closed the kitchen door after placing some bread in the toaster．I was still half asleep and looking for what to wear．For some reason，the automatic mechanism of the toaster to push the slices up didn't work．When I went back to the kitchen．It was full of thick white smoke．Coughing hard，I opened the windows，stepped outside the door for a brea
