Before my daughter, Evelyn, was born, I eagerly expected her first year of life. I imagined celebrating every milestone --- bonding with her as a newborn, seeing her smile for the first time, hearing her say her first word. 1 didn't think of feeding tubes, long hospital stays or an organ transplant( 移植). For Evelyn, the first year included all and more.Evelyn came into this world at just 34 weeks, weighing less than3 pounds. Genetic testing revealed she had Alagille syndrome, a genetic disorder that can damage the liver(肝脏),heart and other organs. Soon, we received the news that baby Evelyn needed a liver transplant. Our family moved nearer to UPMC Children's Hospial of Pittsburgh so that we were closer if a liver was available for Evelyn.When Evelyn was added to the organ donation wait list, I wasunder the liver allocation policy in place at that time,which wasmap-based. This policy lacks any special consideration for transplant candidates.We were told it would likely take three months. Just then, a new policy for liver allocation was tried out.Under the new system, the sickest child patients get first priority(优先).The new policywas only in effect for a little over a week, but in that period, Evelyn received her liver transplant. Had it been just one weekearlier or later, we would not have received the call.As Evelyn recovers from her transplant, we are grateful for the change.I am also sad, because the new policy was short-lived. Thatmeans another mom like me might not receive that phone call with good news.Other children should have the same opportunity as Evelyn to live healthy, happy lives. When it comes to liver transplant policy, wecan and must do better for children.【小题1】What probably happened to Evelyn shorly after she was born?

A．We must guarantee kids have healthy livers.B．Kids should have chances of a liver transplant.C．The sickest kids should get liver transplants first.D．The old policy lacks special consideration for kids.3. In a new study, researchers analyzed information from more than 18 ,000 people who provided blood samples.Participants reported whether they exercised regularly，and if 80, what type of exercises they typically did. The researchers hen scannedparticipants' blood, looking for genes(基因) that are tied to an increased risk of obesity(肥胖). Next, the researchers examined whether certain exercises seemed to balance this risk.Overall, people who reported doing any type of regular exercises tended to have a lower BMI(体重指数) than those who didn't. This was true even among people who were genetically easy to become overweight. But one exercise stood out as the one with the strongest anti-obesity effcet: jogging. Partitipants with obesity genes who jogged tended to have a lower BMI than people with similar genetic risk who did not jog.But for those who loathe jogging, fear not: Five other types of exercises were also tied to a lower BMI among individuals at risk for obesity. These included mountain climbing, balloo dancing and walking. The benefits of these exercises were the biggest among those with the greatest genetie risk of obesity.Interestingly,several other types of exercises failed tocounteract the genetic risk of obesity. These includedcycling,stretching exercises and swimming. The findings don't meanthat these latter exercises can't help with weight control. It's just that they didn't seem to counteract the genetic tendency to gain weight.There could be several reasons for this. The researchers noted that, for the average Joe or Jane, cylcing and stretching exercises tend to require less energy than the exercises that were tied to a lower obesity risk. In addition, exercising in water, as happens with swimming, may increase appetite.【小题1】What does the underlined word " loathe" in the third paragraph mean?A．Dislike. B．Display.C．Disturb. D．Discourage.【小题2】Which exercise has the least effect on balancing obesity genes?A．Mountain climbing. B．Ballroom dancing.C．Running slowly.

A．Swimming doesn't help one lose weight.B．Diving may make a person eat more food.C．Average people put less energy into exercises.D．Stretching exercises will become popular.【小题4】Which of the following is the best title?A．Jogging Less Leads to Genetic ObesityB．Regular Exercises Tend to Lower BMIC．Whether Exercises Balance Risks of Obesity GenesD．Genes Are Very important for People's Weight Control4. Kar-go is the invention of the United Kingdom-based Academy of Robotics, which describes it as”Europe's first road-worthy autonomous delivery vehicle".Using AI, this autonomousdelivery vehicle offers customers an app---similar to one used when ordering a taxi- allowing them to choose when and where their packages are delivered. Cormpanies like Tesla and Amazon haveinvested heavily in autonomous vehicles, which have the potential to create a sea of changes in business and society.Resembling something like a green egg on wheels, Kar-go's aim is to reduce the cost of what's known as the "last mile delivery challenge" . This is the final stage of your online package'sjourney ,from a local warehouse to your front door. Labor costs, paying drivers, the cost of fuel and the vehicle costs for maintaining small vehicles all contribute to making this the most expensive part of the delivery process.

However, at the other end, drivers deliver smaller shipments to several different locations where the recipient may not even be available to collect.With the latest AI technology, Kar-go will deliver goodssafely ,sustainably and in style. The AI vehicle uses special technology to become an expert on its own individual route, learning from past experiences in order to help itself deal with new future obstacles(障碍物)on the road. Kar-go also has its very own internal sorting system, allowing the vehicle transport packages in thecorrect order for delivery.By 2030，the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders predicts the autonomous market could add $ 62 billion in economic growth in the UK, creating more than 420,000 new jobs. Eletric, self-driving, economic and capable of working 24/7，Kar-go promises to reduce the last mile delivery cost by up to 90%，providing an efficient solution to the rapidly-expanding online retail(零售) market.【小题1】From the first paragraph we know Kar-go__________.A．is an app used to order a taxiB．is Europe's first autonomous vehicleC．has created great changes in business and societyD．transports goods at customers' convenience【小题2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A．How Kar-go delivers the goods.B．What challenges Kar-go may face.C．How the drivers reduce delivery cost.D．Why the last mile delivery is expensive.【小题3】What is the advantage of the AI technology used by Kar-go? A．It has an advanced internal sorting system.B．It enables vehicles to work more efficiently.C．It makes a driver become an expert in traffic.D．It helps people clean new obstacle on the road.【小题4】What influence does Kar-go have on the UK?A．It will create over 420 0000 jobs for drivers.B．It will reduce the delivery cost by up to 90%”C．It may contribute to the growth of online business.D．It may make the UK lead in the autonomous market.二、七选五5.
