As it was getting late, we started looking for a motel, only to find that all were booked, which worried me sick.Finally, around 9 p. m， we stopped at a gas station to fill up the gas tank. My husband asked for a phone book and told the woman at the counter that we were trying to find a motel. He tried for 15 minutes. When he was unsuccessful, the woman, Linda, said she and her family lived nearby and would be happy if we spent the night at her home.My husband was stunned by her offer. She called her son to direct us, since she had to hold the fort at the gas station till midnight.When we reached her home, her husband greeted us. He took out two sleeping bags for the children. He invited us to have coffee and chat while we waited for his wife. When she came back, we asked if we could slip away in the morning so as not to disturb them. They said we were now guests and we would have to have breakfast with them.We woke up to a table set for breakfast. They made a mountain of pancakes and bacon. We ate breakfast, and when we were leaving, my husband asked if he could offer some payment.They insisted we were their guests. We left moved by their spirit of hospitality (好客).

Doctors and public health experts have high hopes that it will increase the number of people who get immunized (使免疫) against the flu.Seasonal flu is responsible for up to half a million deaths around the world each year according to the World Health Organization. A team led by Georgia Tech engineer Mark Prausnitz has e up with an alternative method that uses “micro needles”. These tiny needles are so small that 100 of them, arranged in order on a patch, can fit under your thumb (拇指). Yet theyre big enough to hold vaccine against three types of flu.None of the study volunteers had serious side effects. The groups that got patches had mild skin reactions that were not seen in the regular needle group, while the volunteers in the regular needle group were more likely to experience pain. Overall, 70 percent of the volunteers who got vaccine patches said theyd rather use them again than get a traditional flu shot. The study authors declared it a success on all fronts.The biggest beneficiaries could be people in low and middleine countries, where it is hard to e by flu vaccines. Reducing pain is nice, but other benefits the patch costs less, is easier to transport, doesnt require refrigeration, can be selfadministered and doesnt cause waste of needles are even better.“Microneedle patches have the potential to bee ideal candidates for vaccination programs，” wrote Katja Hoschler and Maria Zambon of Public Health England.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种不用传统注射的流感疫苗贴。8What is the passage mainly about?AA vaccine that cures people of their flu.BA team that does research on seasonal flu.CA patch that makes flu shots a thing of the past.DA method that makes traditional flu shots painless.解析：选C主旨大意题。通读文章可知，本文介绍了一种新型的流感疫苗贴，故选C项。9What do we know about the vaccine patch?AIt causes slight side effects.BIt causes serious skin reactions.CIt delivers vaccine on the head.DIt works badly on 30% of the volunteers.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第四段中的“None of the study volunteers had serious side effects.

In their study published on Thursday, Ishiyama and his adviser Michael Brecht found that rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure when tickled on their backs and bellies. These signs of joy changed according to their moods. And for the first time, they discovered a special group of nerve cells. These nerve cells made this feeling so powerful that it causes a rat being tickled to lose control.To make sure that he had indeed found a place in the brain where tickling was processed, Ishiyama then stimulated (刺激) that area with electrical currents. The rats began to jump like rabbits and sing like birds.“Its truly groundbreaking，” said Jeffrey Burgdorf, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University who reviewed the paper. “It takes the study of emotion to a new level.”Burgdorf has played a central role in our understanding of animal tickling. He was part of a team that first noticed, in the late 1990s, that rats made special noises when they were experiencing social pleasure. Others had already noted that rats repeatedly made short and high sounds during meals. But the lab where Burgdorf worked noticed that they emitted similar sounds while playing. And so one day, the senior scientist in the lab said, “Lets go and tickle some rats.” They quickly found that those cries of pleasure doubled.“The authors have been very adventurous，” said Daniel OConnor, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University. To him, that finding was very surprising.“Why does the world literally feel different when you are stressed out？” he said. “This is the first step towards answering that question. It gives us a way to approach it with experimental rigor (严谨)”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章中科学家通过刺激老鼠来记录它们的神经细胞的反应，所得出的结论将对情绪的研究提升到了一个新的高度。12What contributed to humans being ticklish according to Aristotle?ATheir special skin.BTheir social pleasure.CTheir nervous system.DTheir willingness to touch.解析：选A细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“since Aristotle expected that humans, given their thin skin and unique ability to laugh, were the only ticklish animals”可知，亚里士多德认为人类由于其皮肤薄，而且有独特的笑的能力而成为唯一怕痒的动物，所以正确答案为A。13Which of the following statements will Jeffrey Burgdorf agree with?AThe research process is full of risks.BThe finding of the study is surprising and unbelievable.CThe new discovery is beneficial for the study of emotion.DThe finding of the study actually contradicts modern science.解析：选C推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“It takes the study of emotion to a new level”可知，这项研究成果把对情绪的研究提升到了一个新的高度，显然，这对情绪的研究是有益处的。故答案为C。14The underlined word “squeaked” in Paragraph 2 may be replaced by “_”Agave a smile Bmade a noiseCburst into tears Dwatched with staring eyes解析：选B词义猜测题。根据该词后面的“jumped with pleasure when tickled on their backs and bellies”可知，当在老鼠的背部和腹部挠痒痒的时候，它们会高兴地跳起来，再结合第三段中的“The rats began to jump like rabbits and sing like birds”可知，此处是“发出声音”的意思，故选B。15What is the best title for the text?AThe Life of RatsBHow Rats LaughCA Wonderful ScientistDA New Discovery about Rats解析：选D标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了一项关于老鼠的新发现。故答案为D。.阅读七选五(2019武汉市武昌区调研)On December 22, 2016 I landed in the land of the “American Dream”. _16_ Here is one of the things Ive struggled with during my almost one year in the States._17_ My uncle and aunt joked that I brought rain from Saigon to America.
