George Headley would have been a dentist in the USA rather than one of the greatest cricketers（板球运动员）if he had got his papers from Panama on time. The Indian legend was born in Colón, Panama and a period of unemployment in Jamaica caused him to begin the process of seeking a career elsewhere.
The delay, however, gave Headley time to make his first-class debut（首次亮相）for Jamaica against the visiting Lord Tennyson’s XI from England. These were his scores in the three first-class games in the series: 16, 40, and 71. The rest, as they say, is history. Yet, consider what might have occurred if his documents had arrived on time and he had migrated to America. There would have been a missing chapter in cricket.
Headley’s ta le brings to the fore the role that happenstance（偶然情况）plays in life. In the song A Different Comer, George Michael lamented（哀叹）that a romantic union went wrong and suggested that it might have been better if circumstances had worked to prevent their first meeting: “Take me back in time; maybe I can forget. Turn a different corner and we never would have met.”
Our lives are the result of much planning and deliberate action. But they are the result of chance as well. “The harder I practice, the luckier I get” is a quote normally used by sportsmen to discount the occurrence or consequence of luck. Athletes like to think that whatever success they’ve had is only down to them. To admit otherwise is to devalue the skills and efforts.
The changes in luck are a large part of why we watch sports. It fosters uncertainty, which, in turn. enhances interest in the process and the result. On any given day, the underdog can be at the champion. Whenever that occurs, luck is likely to have played some significant part, and sport is better for it.
24. What decision did George Headley make before getting his papers?
A. To complete his official documents in Panama. B. To sharpen his cricket skills in Jamaica.
C. To get a degree in medicine in the USA. D. To work as a dentist in the USA.
25. What can we say about the delay of Headley’s papers?
A. It affected his debut performance. B. It became a turning point in his life.
C. It benefited the England cricket team. D. It led to a missing chapter in cricket.
26. Why did the author mention the song A Different Corner?
A. To stress the importance of chance.
B. To explain the necessity of planning ahead.
C. To show the significance of the first impressions.
D. To illustrate a love-hate relationship with friends.
27. What does George Headley’s career story mainly tell us?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Little people can make a big difference.
C. Efforts and chances are equally important. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C
In patients with metabolic（新陈代谢的）discases, elevated（升高的）fat level s in the blood create stress in muscle cells-a reaction to changes outside the cells that could damage their structure and function. Researchers have discovered that these stressed-out cells could give off a kind of signal.
The signals, known as ceramides（神经酰胺）, may have a protective benefit in the short term because they are part of a mechanism（机制）designed to reduce stress in the cells. But in metabolic diseases. which are long-term conditions, the signals can kill the cells, make symptoms severer, and worsen the illness.
Increased fat in the blood has long been known to damage tissues and organs, contributing to the development of cardiovascular（心血管的）and metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes（糖尿病）. The condition can be caused by obesity（肥胖）, rates of which have increased greatly worldwide since1975. In 2016, there were more than 650 million adults aged 18 and above with obesity.
Rescarch supervisor Lee Roberts said, “Our discovery may form the basis of new approaches to preventing the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, such as diabetes in overweight people with elevated blood fat.”
In the lab, the team copied the blood fat levels observed in humans with metabolic diseases by exposing certain muscle cells to a fatty acid. The cells began to pass on the ceramide signal. When these cells were mixed with others that had not been previously exposed to fat, the researchers found that they communicated with each other, transporting the signal in packages called extracellular vesicles. The experiment was reproduced in human volunteers with metabolic diseases and got comparable results.
Professor Roberts said, "The research gives us a novel perspective on how stress develops in the cells of individuals with obesity, and provides new ways to consider when we’re trying to develop new treatments for metabolic diseases. With obesity becoming an increasingly widespread disease, the burden of associated chronic（慢性的）diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, necessitates new treatments. We hope the results of our research open a new avenue for research to help address this growing concern.
28. What is special about ceramides?
A. They are released by health y cells.
B. They are harmful to cells in the long term.
C. They are designed to reduce the fat levels in the blood.
D. They are beneficial to the treatment of metabolic diseases.
29. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 3?
A. The difficulty of dealing with obesity.
B. The consequence of chronic diseases.
C. The general health condition of young people.
D. The increasing rates of obesity around the world.
30. What can we know about the experiment done on human volunteers?
A. It aimed to find the cause of metabolic diseases.
B. It identified a new cell in volunteers with obesity.
C. It proved stressed-out cells could affect health y cells.
D. It indicated cells’ communication patterns for the first time.
31. What’s the text mainly about?
A. How cells respond to the stress from high blood fat.
B. How our body distinguishes stressed-out cells from others.
C. How muscle cells communicate with each other effectively.
D. How our body starts the self-protection system to repair cells.
D
Journalists are the major group of people who make their living from writing. Many young people who see themselves as future novelists choose journalism as a way of earning a living while developing their writing skills. Although writing for newspapers and writing for books require different qualities, the aspiration（志向）to be a great writer is not one to be discouraged in a would-be journalist.
Most people want their work to be recognized by others. This helps to give it value. Some people also want themselves to be recognized, so that they have status in the eyes of society. It is not a bad motive to wish to be famous, but this must never become your main reason for being a journalist. You will not be a good journalist if you care more for impressing your audience than for serving their needs.
Knowing the power of the printed or spoken word or image, some people enter journalism for the power it will give them to influence people. There is a strong belief that journalists control the mass media but the best journalists recognize their role as servants of the people. There is a difference between the desire to influence events for your own sake, and the desire to do it for other people. You should never use journalism for selfish ends, but you can use it to improve the life of other people.
Curiosity is a natural part of most people’s characters and an important ingredient for any journalist. Lots of young men and women enter the profession with the desire to know more about the world without needing to specialize in limited fields of study. Most journalists tend to know a little bit about a lot of things, rather than a lot about one subject. Knowledge has many uses. It can simply help to make you a fuller and more interesting person. It can also give you power over people, especially people who do not have that particular knowledge. Always bear in mind that power can be used in a positive way to improve people’s lives.
32. What can we know from the first paragraph?
A. Journalism can be used as a means to improve writing.
B. Writing for newspapers is similar to writing for novels.
C. Most of the journalists make a living by writing books.
D. Journalists are most likely to become great writers.
33. Why do some people want themselves to be recognized?
A. To learn rich knowledge. B. To get great power.
C. To gain high position. D. To earn much wealth.
34. What is most necessary for journalists according to Paragraph 4?
A. Being specialized in a certain field. B. Being able to speak a foreign language well.
C. Being good at making friends with others. D. Having a wide range of knowledge.
35. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The development of journalism. B. Why people choose a career in journalism.
C. How to become a qualified journalist. D. The challenges journalists face now.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150词左右。
Years ago, I bought a printer from a local store. Though I had read the instruction book carefully, I still didn’t know how to use it. So one afternoon, I went to the store to see if I could get any help. Luckily, Carlos, the kind young man who had sold me the device before, stood behind the counter, serving a gentleman. Carlos was quick and efficient, so I knew the wait wouldn’t be long.
Seconds later, an elderly lady lifted her walker onto the sidewalk out front. Without saying anything, Carlos jumped over the counter, rushed across the store, opened the door, and helped her come inside. The lady sat next to me as Carlos continued to serve his first customer. I learned from their conversation that the poor guy had missed a lot of work because his wife had been hospitalized for cancer. Knowing that, Carlos got him a 45-day extension（延长期）on his payment. The man thanked Carlos tearfully and walked out of the store.
After learning about my trouble, Carlos carefully explained to me how to use the printer. He even told me that I could call him anytime and that he would come to my house to help in case 1 still couldn’t fix the problem. I was deeply moved.
When Carlos finished serving me, he started to talk to the lady with the walker. Surprisingly, she was there to bring Carlos some cookies to thank him for being so nice to her the previous day. I was in the store for only ten minutes, but in that small amount of time, I’d seen so much humility（谦逊）and consideration. That night at work, I kept thinking about Carlos---how he called each customer by name, and how he made everyone feel like his family. Carlos was a salesman, but he wasn’t caring about money as much as making us feel valued. I just couldn’t get over his kindness.
Paragraph 1:
The next day, I sat in front of my computer and sent an email to Carlos’s boss.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
However, when I entered the store again months later, Carlos didn’t work there anymore. ___________________
