Thirteen-year-old Madison Williams was studying in her bedroom when Leigh Williams, her mother, told her that a little boy fell into a septic tank(化粪池) and no one could reach him.

Madison and Leigh ran to a neighbor’s yard, where they found the boy’s worried mother and other adults surrounding the tank opening. It stuck out a few inches above the ground and was 11 inches in width-slightly wider than a basketball-with a hatch(盖子) that had been moved unnoticed. The two-year-old boy had slipped in and was drowning in four feet of waste water inside the eight-feet-deep tank.

Madison surveyed the situation. She was the only one who could fit through the small hole. Without hesitation, she told the adults, “Lower me in. Inside, the tank was dark, and the air was smelly. In the process, she jammed her left wrist against a hidden pole, injuring the muscles in her wrist so severely that the hand was left useless.

Rather than tending to her injury, Madison tried to feel the underwater boy. Minutes went by before she saw the outline of his foot. Madison shot her good hand out and grasped the foot tightly “Pull me up!” she shouted. Then, ten minutes after Madison had entered the tank, she and the boy were lifted out.

But the boy wasn’t out of trouble. He had lacked Oxygen long enough that he wasn’t breathing. He was placed on his side, and an adult hit him hard on the back. It was only when Madison heard him cry that she knew he was all right. It took Madison longer to recover than the boy, who was taken to hospital and left hospital that same night. She, however, experienced months of painful treatment, for the injury that she had postponed tending was more severe, which, says neighbor Mary Holley, made the girl’s actions all the more impressive.

24. What most likely caused the boy to fall into the septic tank?

A. The tank was very hard to be noticed.

B. The boy was curious about the unknown.

C. The hatch was not in the correct position.

D. The tank opening stood out on the ground.

D. Serious infection set in to her wound.

C. Courageous. D. Hard-working.

27. What is the text mainly about?

O. Henry, born in Greensboro, North Carolina, was the pen name of William Sydney Porter. His father, Algernon Sydney Porter, was a physician. When William was three years old, his mother died, and he was raised by his grandmother and aunt. William was a good reader, but at the age of fifteen he left school, and worked in a drug store and later on a Texas farm. After that, he moved to Houston, where he had a number of jobs, including that of bank clerk. After moving to Austin, Texas, in 1882, he married.

Henry’s best-known work is The Ransom of Red Chief. His stories always have surprising endings. He published 10 collections and over 600 short stories during his lifetime.

More than four decades ago, British scientist Robert Edwards first witnessed the miracle of human life growing inside a test tube at his Cambridge lab. Since that ground-breaking moment, more than four million babies have been born through IVF(体外受精) and in 2010 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine.

The prize for Dr. Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2008, includes a ￡900,000 cheque. The Nobel Assembly described IVF as “a milestone in modern medicine”.

With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchester—born physiologist developed IVF—leading to the birth of the world’s first test tube baby. Dr. Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertility(生育) treatment and given hope to millions of couples.

It was a scientific breakthrough that changed the lives of millions of couples. They said, “His achievements have made it possible to treat infertility, a disease which makes humans unable to have a baby. This condition has been afflicting a large percentage of mankind, including more than 10% of all couples worldwide.”

Professor Edwards, who has 5 daughters and 11 grandchildren, began his research at Cambridge University in 1963, after receiving his PhD in 1955. He once said, “The most important thing in life is having a child. Nothing is more special than a child.” With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, Prof. Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridgeshire, which now treats more than 900 women a year. Each year, more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment.

But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the Catholic Church who said it was “unethical and immoral”.

Martin Johnson, professor of reproductive(生殖的) sciences at the University of Cambridge, said the award was “long overdue”. He said, “We couldn’t understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted—this is the cherry on the cake for him.”

Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was “thrilled and delighted”.

32. What is Robert Edwards' contribution to science?

A. Challenging a disease which stops couples having a baby.

B. Seeing the wonder of the first tube baby growing.

C. Enabling millions of couples to live a better life.

D. Helping couples with infertility to have test tube babies.

33. What does the underlined word “afflicting” in Paragraph 4 most probably refer to?

A. Troubling. B. Developing.

C. Improving. D. Frightening.

34. It can be inferred from Paragraph 6 and Paragraph 7 that ________.

A. some people envied Professor Edwards for his being awarded

B. different opinions were voiced on Professor Edwards' work

C. Professor Edwards deserved the prize for his breakthrough

D. the prize was late because the finding was first considered immoral

35. What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Life Stories of Robert Edwards

B. Preparations for Having a Baby

C. Nobel Prize for IVF Expert Edwards

D. Treatment of Infertility in a Lab

Whether you are at Disneyland or another Disney park, you will usually find a nighttime show that will be showing.

  36    Read this article to find out how you can get a good seat for an evening event at any Disney park.

●Plan on seeing the show in advance.

Usually, if you decide an hour beforehand that you’re going to see a show, you will likely end up not getting a good seat, unless the park is not very busy.   37   

●Do your research.

Research online: “The best places to view”   38   Some of them may even be less known, so you may not deal with such a big crowd.

●Arrive to the event early.

  39   Possibly even earlier if the park is more crowded on that day. If you arrive ten minutes before the event starts, you’re a lot less likely to get a good spot.

●  40   

If you must leave to do something, make sure that it’s extremely quick, and try to have another member of your party stay in your spot while you are away.

A. Stay in the same area.

B. Enjoy the show with a friend.

C. It’s usually much more enjoyable if you can get a good seat.

D. This is especially important if you arrive closer to the event time.

E. In order to get a good spot, plan on arriving an hour before the event.

F. Therefore, look at the schedule before your trip, or at least the day before.

G. You’ll see a list of places in the park that are the best for viewing that event.

Just like every technological advancement, the next is set to be a huge deal, and such is the case for 5G. The wireless technology   61  (expect) to power self-driving cars, virtual reality, smart   62  (city), and networked robots.   63  (research) from King’s College London who have joined with Ericsson(ERIC) to dream up futuristic applications for 5G have looked at everything from music   64   medicine.

The team is working towards using   65   technology to transfer physical skills across networks and creating what they are calling the “Internet of Skills”. “With 5G and the new networking architecture we’re building, we’re hoping to get this delay down to just the speed of light,” said Mischa Dohler, a professor of wireless communications at King’s College.

Furthermore, 5G will   66  (hopeful) allow a surgeon with virtual reality equipment   67  (work) on the other side of the world via a robot. They will use haptic(触觉的) gloves,   68   will allow the surgeon to sense motion and pressure when   69  (operate) on a patient and can get instant feedback via the gloves.

Meanwhile, Dohler does not expect this to happen overnight and   70  (believe) it could take the “Internet of Skills” another decade before it is fully functional.

In order to improve Senior Three students’ awareness of doing physical exercise and protecting the environment, the student Union intends to launch a plogging activity

It has been acknowledged that plogging is a new fitness trend with lots of advantages. Not only can you build up your body while jogging but also you can pick up rubbish along the road, which definitely contributes to the low—carbon lifestyle. It is at 9:00 am on January 1st, 2020 that the activity will take place in Baohu Park, which will last for approximately two hours.

Anyone who shows interest in it is welcome. It is suggested that you wear comfortable sports shoes and arrive on time.
