It wascaused by a car accident. I was in physical recoveryfrom the accident and suddenly all of my old hurts started ing up.I found myself crying on the floor of my apartment.I dont want you to bleed with me or to pity me. But I also dont want toglossmy reality. And the truth is, beneath the shiny photos you see on the Internet, Im still a work in progress. Im not perfect. Like all of us, Im doing the best I can. Making the best choices I can. Back to the evening when I found myselflying on the floor.What happened next? I started writing.There was a TV show I absolutely loved. I started writing fan fiction. It provided a beautiful place of escape from the thoughts swimming in my head. The depression started to lift. I started to feel like myself again.After pleting a four-part fan fiction totaling around 12,000 words, I had an idea. I should write a novel to give a hand to those like me.I continued writing, having no idea where it would lead. I didnt know I would publish it but, after much resistance on my part I finally made the decision to publish the book under my own name. No pen name. No hiding on the deep bowels of the internet.And so here we are. The day before the release of the book. Sure, readers will enjoy the twists and turns. And I can see myself in the character. But thats not my real motivation. I wrote it to help people. To give them a place to belong to. A place to talk about this fictional world. The very same thing that saved me last year.If the story provides this to just one person, Ive done my job.21. What does the underlined word “gloss” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Face. B. Cover.C. Expose. D.

In small tests using pigs，the robotic arm performed at least as well，and in some cases a bit better，as some peting surgeons in stitching together intestinal(肠的)tissue“The purpose wasnt to replace surgeons，”said DrKim who led the project“If you have all intelligent tool that works with a surgeon，can it improve the oute? Thats what we have done”If youve heard about machines like the popular Da Vinci system，you might think robots already are operatingNot reallyToday many hospitals offer robot-assisted surgery, where surgeons use the machinery as tools that they control by hand，typically，to operate through tiny openings in the bodyBut robot-assisted surgery has been controversial，as some studies have shown it can bring higher costs without better outesKims team at Childrens Sheikh Zayed Institute invented the new STAR systemit stands for Smart Tissue Autonomous Robotworks sort of like a programmable sewing machine. They added sensors to help guide each stitch and tell how tightly to pull. But the approach wasnt perfectIn the living animals, the robot took much longer and made a few stitching mistakes while the surgeon sewing by hand made none. Kim said the robot can be sped up. Fie hopes to begin human studies in two or three years28Whats the best title for the text?AA new-style way of stitchingBA new robotic systemCThe newly-designed driverless vehicles DRobot surgeons one step closer to reality29What will surgeons do when DrRobot is used in surgery?AThey can help pull the strings BThey rest at the bedsideCThey perform other surgeryDThey join in when necessary30Some people are against using robots in surgery probably because_ Athey may be expensive to use Bthey will take shorter timeCthey can be out of controlDthey are likely to cause great pain31What can we infer from the text?ADrRobot can take the place of surgeonsBDrRobot has been tested with human trialsCDrRobot will be developed at a fast pace DDrRobot can free doctors hands in the operationDSpending money on time-saving services reduces stress and boosts(增进）happiness，according to a new research, but shockingly, few of us do it.Whillans, a professor at HBS said, “ Buying time helps to protect us from the stress in our lives caused by time pressure, and the feeling that we don t have enough minutes in the day to plete our tasks. The effect was clearest in the Canadian experiment, in which 60 working adults were given $40 to spend in two different ways. One weekend, they were told to spend the money on a material purchasea gift for themselves. The next weekend, they were instructed to spend the $40 on anything that saved them time，from paying the neighbor s kid to run errands (跑腿）to taking an Uber instead of a bus.“ On the day they made the time-saving purchase, they felt happier, in a better mood, and lower feelings of time stress than on the day they bought a material purchase，” said Whillans.The biggest surprise to the researchers was how few people would spend money on time-saving services. When they asked 98 working adults how they would spend a “windfall”(意外之财) of $40，only two percent named a purchase that would save them time.“ One reason， said Whillans， “is that were very bad at remembering how much we hate doing certain tasks once the suffering has passed. That makes us less likely to take active steps to avoid that overburdened feeling in the future. ” But another possible cause is good old-fashioned guilt. “If you feel guilty about getting someone to clean your house for you, then you might get less happiness from outsourcing (外包）that task，” said Whillans， “or you might just be less likely to spend your money in that way. 32.In the Canadian experiment, the participants.A.were asked to spend the money in different waysB.were divided into two groupsC.were given $ 40 every two weeksD.were asked to give money to a neighbor s kid33. According to the author, what can make people less time-stressed?A. Buying themselves an expensive present.B. Paying much for a concert ticket.C. Taking a regular bus to get to work.D. Employing someone to clean the garden.34.When it es to spending money on buying time”，.A. most people like the idea but don t practice it in lifeB. no people would like to do itC. a small percentage of people choose to do itD. more people will do it if extra money is given35.What do the underlined words “that overburdened feeling” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The disfort when pleting tasks we hate doing.B. The good old-fashioned guilt.C. The feeling of spending money on goods.D. The stress of having someone clean your house.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余。Good learners can inspire students or anybody to learn well.
