Kawasaki disease（川崎病） is every parent's nightmare（噩梦）. This rare illness is the chief cause of acquired heart disease in babies and young children. Historically, it's been difficult for doctors to spot it, until recently, when a young inventor developed an app that can find it out. Ellen's invention does research on a photograph of the child and looks for clear signs of Kawasaki disease, like a swollen tongue. It's a great invention that likely wouldn't have come about if it all weren't so personal.
When Ellen, a San Diego native, was 5 years old, her parents rushed her kid sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had a fever, reddened eyes and swelling in her hands and tongue.
At first the puzzled doctors guessed that Kate had a flu. But when her condition didn't improve, she returned to the Emergency Room, where she was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease and treated immediately. In time she shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart, making her one of the lucky ones.
10 years later, Ellen, needing a project for a high school science fair, recalled her sister's illness. "It was a puzzle I wanted to solve," says Ellen, now a student at Stanford. So she set out to do just that. Using data, she invented an app that can identify the physical signs of Kawasaki disease from a photo. It works similarly to apps that can identify birds and plants. The app is expected to appear soon on the Kawasaki Disease Foundation's website, kdfoundation. org.
As for Kate, Ellen says the little girl with the mysterious disease is now an energetic high school junior with dreams of becoming an environmental engineer.
24. What can be learned about Kawasaki disease from paragraph 1
A. It occurs in everyone. B. It may lead to acquired heart disease.
C. It is difficult to identify now. D. It can be treated successfully by Ellen.
25. Why did Kate return to the Emergency Room
A. To shake off her flu. B. To get good luck.
C. To receive further examination. D. To escape damaging her heart.
26. What inspired Ellen to invent the app
A. Doctors' request. B. A science fair.
C. Kate's illness. D. Stanford's homework.
27. What does the text mainly talk about
A. An invention for Kawasaki disease. B. A joyful story of a sick girl.
C. The treatment for Kawasaki disease. D. A united and happy family.

Scientists have figured out how to make large amounts of oil from duckweed （浮萍）. Processing such plant oils into biodiesel（生物柴油） for transportation and heating could be a big part of a future looking for clean energy. Researchers could use duckweed plants to produce seven times more oil per acre than soybeans — currently the most commonly used biofuel-producing plant.
Unlike fossil fuels, which form underground over hundreds of millions of years, biofuels can be released faster than they are used. Fuels made from new and used vegetable oil s and animal fat can have a lower carbon foot print than fossil fuels do. Therefore, biofuels will gradually become the mainstream fuels and thrive in the near future.
Although Duckweed, common on every continent but Antarctica, is among the world's most productive plants per acre, the researchers suggest it could be a renewable energy source for three key reasons. First, it grows readily in water, so it wouldn't compete with food crops for prime agricultural land. Second, duckweed can grow well in agricultural pollution from farms like pig and chicken farms, potentially cleaning up some of the chemicals such farms release into the water. Third, engineered green plants typically spend a lot of energy on oil production and thus stop growing. But the researchers added to duckweed an oil-producing gene that would be inactive at first, and work only when the plant had finished growing.
The process worked quite well. If it replicates（复制） in other species, this can solve the issue of how we can make more oil in more plants without negatively affecting growth. To make production up to industrial levels, scientists will need to design and produce large-scale vessels（导管） for growing engineered plants and getting oil—a challenge, the study's lead author John Shanklin, a biochemist at the U. S. Department of Energy's Brook haven National Laboratory says.
28. What benefit does Duckweed oil have as biofuels
A. It is the cleanest energy source. B. It tastes better than soybean oil.
C. It is environmentally friendly. D. It has replaced fossil fuels.
29. What does the underlined word "thrive" in paragraph 2mean
A. Run out. B. Go bad C. Stay weak D. Develop well.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. What changes Duckweed brought about.
B. Why Duckweed can be renewable.
C. Whether we should grow Duckweed.
D. How we process Duckweed into clean biodiesel.
31. What does Shanklin think of producing biodiesel industrially
A. Challenging. B. Dangerous. C. Tough. D. Convenient.

Astronaut Frank Rubiales made headlines by spending 371 days in space, far beyond his scheduled 180 days, due to a technical failure. This unexpected longer stay became an unforgettable experience for Rubiales and it was turned into a golden opportunity for researchers to explore the effects of long-term space travel on the human body. Although space exploration is of importance for human beings' development, it brings about unique bad effects on both physical and mental well-being.
The absence of gravity in space can cause astronauts to lose muscle and bone strength, which may cause their disabilities. To solve this problem, they must exercise for 150 minutes every week. Additionally, space traveler's eyes can be affected in the zero-gravity environment, facing the danger of being blind. What's worse, beyond earth's protective layer, astronaut s face greater exposure to strong solar radiation, increasing the risk of serious health issues, including cancer.
Astronauts' mental health is also at risk. On Earth, daylight patterns help us sleep, but astronauts in space see 16 sunrises and sunsets each day. The unusual pattern disturbs their natural sleep cycles and leads to anxiety. Besides, the limited social interactions and the constant observation by experts on Earth can result in stress and loneliness. Therefore, these factors stress the importance of advancing technology and strategies to ensure astronauts' health and well-being during long-time missions, such as space travel that could last up to years.
The experience and data gathered from missions like Rubiales' not only help prepare for more distant space explorations but also have improved applications on Earth. Technologies that once supported space exploration are now increasing medical qualities in hospitals and helping recovery from health conditions, bridgeing the gap between space achievements and daily life.
32. What happened to Rubiales
A. He stayed longer in space for a technical mistake.
B. He returned to the Earth on time.
C. He researched the effects of long-term space travel.
D. He was scheduled to spend 371 days in space.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Health problems caused by the absence of gravity.
B. Bad effects on astronauts' physical health in space.
C. Astronauts' bad experiences in space.
D. Solutions to health issues including cancer.
34. What may mainly cause astronauts' anxiety
A. Sunrises and sunsets. B. Observation by experts.
C. Lack of sleep. D. Usual daylight patterns.
35. What is the author's attitude toward space explorations
A. Disapproving. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.

Benefits of Water Fitness
Exercising in water can help anyone become much fitter, and the advantages of water works—besides the fitness factor—may surprise you. 36
Water's buoyancy（浮力） minimizes the effects of gravity, meaning it's gentle on joints. This is an excellent choice for people with the pain on joints. Swimming engages most of the body's major muscle groups, including those in the legs, upper body and core. 37 Swimming even helps strengthen bones.
While you don't feel as hot and sweaty in the water as you do when you work out on land, swimming and other aerobic works in water still burn calories and help with weight loss. Swimming and other water aerobics get your heart pumping without putting as much strain on the body as other aerobic activities. Regular swimming can help lower blood pressure and relax stiff arteries, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. 38 One Australian Study compared swimming with several other kinds of exercise, including calisthenics and works on treadmills, and found that only swimming helped people prevent falls.
39 Pool walking release the feel-good hormones in your brain. These chemicals helps relieve anxiety, depression and stress.
Jackie Duda experienced many of these benefits. 40 "After I get out of the pool, I feel like I'm 31, not 61 "she says. "Being in the water is what has made me feel like myself again."
A. Here are some additional benefits.
B. It's a combination of stretching, strength training.
C. As we know, swimming is necessary for us to keep fit.
D. Swimming has the same effects as other kinds of exercises.
E. Swimming can also help improve balance and coordination.
F. And for that reason she plans to keep up her water workouts.
G. Staying in water sometimes brings us happy summer memories from childhood.

20 years ago, my father died of an accident resulted from drinking, leaving my sick mother and two younger brothers alone. At that time, I was in a senior high school. After my father's funeral, the whole family was in a worse condition than ever. As the eldest son , I had no choice but to quit school and work in a factory.
Life went on without any wonder. I dared not to ask for more, just hoping to bring up two younger brothers. However, that was not an easy thing, for I couldn't afford their tuition even if I worked from day to night without stopping, and much worse, I had to take my sick mother into account. The present misery made me want to have another try, but it seemed impractical, for I couldn't lose this job any more.
A thread of hope sparkled in those gloomy days suddenly. It was a rainy dusk when I put myself in the rain and walked in the street. Suddenly the rain stopped! To my bewilderment（困惑） , I raised my head, and found that "the sky" was in fact a dark blue umbrella. Then I heard a deep voice.
"Why not run without an umbrella " A middle-aged man with one leg on crutch said to me, "If you run, you would get less drenched."
I shook my head, but after a second I thought: Right, why not run without an umbrella
His words shocked me deeply. Without my father, could I only be a slave to the fate, and my dream in childhood only an illusion Life is like this. When you are in rainy days in your life, if you couldn't find a way to prevent you from being drenched earlier, you would have been overwhelmed by it, but if you decide to get rid of it, you'll discover that the rainy days last not so long as you imagined.
注意：1.续写词数应为150词左右；

7. One Possible Version
While walking together in the rain, he told me his story. Once he had dreamed of being a policeman, but he had his left leg badly broken in an accident, which ruined his dream. Tough as the life was, he didn't lose heart but turned to find another new job. Worse still, his present work was demanding and did not suit for his leg, but he said that every outing was a wonderful start to him. Enlightened by the man's remarks, a decision like a green bud slowly emerged from my mind.
Then, I decided to return to school and earn money to support my family while studying. I applied to the school for continuing my study. Being permitted, I went back to school to pursue my childhood dream, during which I found a part-time job to cover the basic living expenses. Efforts paid off, at last I was admitted into a university, and afterwards I found a job, because of which my family's situation became better and better. Looking back, what I realized is that when we run out of the rainy season of our life, there will be bright sky ahead of us.

Good evening. You are listening to Asia FM. This is Martin Ford with the head news for this hour. In Naha, people are cleaning up the damage caused by the typhoon which hit the island yesterday. Winds of more than 160 kilometers per hour knocked down trees, ruined cars and destroyed more than 200 homes. More than 700 millimeters of rain fell in 24 hours, causing heavy floods. In the main areas of Naha, rising flood waters have forced several hundred people to leave their homes. The Japanese government has sent 500 emergency relief workers to help in the rescue.
18-year-old missing person Jenny Lynn has returned safely to her family. The Indian school girl was rescued by police yesterday-- three days after she disappeared on her way to school. Jenny's father said that his daughter was unharmed and very glad to be home.
