I never know how to answer. My travel decisions assumed a new gravity nine years ago after I suffered a stroke. To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, Id have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner (血液稀释剂) for the rest of my life and any travel would be risky.I had to think about what was important to me: family, of course, and friends. But then what? No matter how many times I thought about it, no bucket list was plete without travel. Then I had to decide how I might manage the risk. I had to decide how lucky I felt. My return to travel after my stroke came in baby steps. The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband, Jack, on a business trip to China. After wed toured the remains of a Tang dynasty temple on a high mountain, Jack wanted to ride down on a toboggan (长雪橇). Before the stroke it wouldve seemed like fun. But now? I hesitated. My mental klaxon (高音喇叭) screamed warnings about the consequences of a cut, a fall, and a crash. Then, gaining confidence from who knows where, I lowered myself carefully into the toboggan, which marked my adventure travel eback.In the years since then, Ive traveled about twenty-five percent of the time. Through it all, my lucks held out no deadly falls, no car accidents or serious infections. For me, adventure travel is a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my world and keeps me connected to nature. Whats more, saying “yes” to travel keeps me connected to myself.24. What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Unique. B. Dangerous. C. Historical. D. Famous. 25. What did the doctors advise the author to do?A. Do proper exercise. B. Enjoy the rest of her life.C. Keep away from traveling.D. Spend more time with her family.26. Why did the author mention her travel to China?A. It was her last adventure. B. She recovered her courage through it.C. She liked the beautiful scenery in China.D. It was the most dangerous experience in her life.27. What is the best title for the text? A. A business trip to China B. Unique travel experiencesC. Why I still travel to the wildD. How I overcame the fear of diseaseCThe new president of Harvard University is the son of an Eastern European refugee and Auschwitz (奥斯威辛) survivor Lawrence S. Bacow. His father worked full time while attending a state college in Detroit at night to earn his degree.Bacow, the former president of Tufts University, has taken over Harvard at a time when higher education is under attack for being financially out of reach to many Americans. But Bacow said his familys journey had reflected the power of college education to transform generations and the opportunities that have historically been available in the United States.“My parents came to this country with almost nothing,” Bacow said. “I wouldnt be here if this country had not been open to people like my parents at that time. Nor would I if my father hadnt had the opportunity to get the college education.”Bacow grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. His fathers family fled anti-Jewish (反犹太的) violence in Minsk, then part of the Soviet Union, before the start of World War II and went to the United States. His mother arrived in Brooklyn at age 19, having survived Auschwitz concentration camp. She was the only Jew from her town to have survived the war. Yet Bacow, who is married with two sons, said that while growing up in Michigan, he had a happy childhood, entering science fairs as a child and building radios like his dad.Bacow has spent most of his professional career at MIT, Harvard and Tufts. He was a professor of environmental studies at MIT, and later a principal at the university. He led Tufts from xx to xx. At Tufts, Bacow earned a reputation for shaking up a sleepy university that was being overshadowed by its peers in Boston. He is also credited with leading it through both 9/11 and the xx financial crisis.As the Tufts president, Bacow traveled around the country, reaching out to alumni (校友), and he urged his faculty and deans to do the same, in an effort to boost donations to finance Tufts academic ambitions. He raised more than $20 million for faculty recruitment, attracting up-and-ing professors by offering junior faculty perks (福利), such as long academic leaves that they couldnt get elsewhere.Under Bacows leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and affordable to low-ine students.28. The reason why Bacow appreciates college education is that .A. college education is out of reach to many AmericansB. his family changed their fate due to college educationC. few opportunities were available when his father came into the countryD. a college degree helped his mother survive Auschwitz29. What can we infer from the passage?A. The fellow townspeople of Bacow were all killed besides his mother.B. Bacows mother stimulated his interest in science.C. Bacows father was good at working with electronics.D. Bacows father came to the U.S. after World War II broke out.30. The underlined word “shaking up” in paragraph 5 probably means .A. reactivatingB. causing C. damagingD. taking over31. What is this passage mainly about?A. How to be admitted to Harvard University. B. The history of Bacows family.C. The art of Bacows leadership in Tufts.D. Bacows way to individual success.DProfessional athletes pay a high price for their pursuit of excellence and glory. Training to the limit tears muscles and wears out joints. Gymnasts often need hip replacements when barely into middle age. Few footballers make it to the end of their careers with their knees intact. But many also run a darker risk: doping the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs by athletic petitors. The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, in South Korea, starts this week in its shadow. Years after whistle-blowers first revealed wholesale (大规模的) doping in Russia, the International Olympic mittee (IOC) at last decided to bar it from taking part. But it has allowed many Russians to pete as individuals. And on the eve of the petition the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said that 28 others should receive a more tolerant penalty from the IOC, further muffling the anti-doping message.Russias doping is unusual only in its scale and institutional nature. No country or sport is immune. Studies, and an anonymous survey at the World Athletics Championships in xx, suggest that a third of athletes preparing for big international petitions take banned substances. Yet just 1-2% fail a test each year. Lance Armstrong, a cyclist who won the Tour de France seven times and later admitted to doping all the while, was tested on 250 occasions. The few times he failed, he avoided punishments by claiming he had taken anti-inflammatories (消炎药) for saddle-sores (骑行引起的肌肉酸痛).Doping is more sophisticated than when some states used steroids (类固醇) to bulk up athletes. New drugs are designed to be undetectable in a blood or urine sample. Many athletes “blood dope,” receiving transfusions or taking a drug that stimulates the production of red blood cells to improve their physical strength. Soviet athletes who were fed steroids suffered a host of serious problems in later life. They were more likely to mit suicide, or to miscarry (流产) or have a disabled child. No one knows what risks those taking new “designer” versions are running. Blood-doping can cause heart attacks; more than a dozen cyclists deaths have already been linked to it.The agencies that set out to stop doping are hugely outclassed. As the argument over punishments on Russia illustrate, they are divided and weak. Most testing is done by national bodies, which may not try very hard to find evidence that would get their own stars banned. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which oversees them, is packed with officials from national sports federations and the IOC. Their interests are likewise conflicted. Its budget is tiny. The system seems to be designed to look tough but punish only the occasional scapegoat (替罪羊). Honest athletes deserve better. 32. The word “muffling” (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “ .”A. deafening B. conveyingC. spreading D. weakening33. Why did the author cite an instance of Lance Armstrong? A. To illustrate he is a model of Russian athlete.B. To show cycling is very popular in France.C. To indicate doping exists everywhere.D. To suggest doping is an exception for American athletes.34. Which of the following is NOT a side-effect of steroids?A. Giving birth to an unhealthy child.B. Suicidal tendencies.C. Stimulates the production of red blood cells.D. Unintentionally having a pregnancy end early.35. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The CAS should put more severe penalties on Russian athletes.B. The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang have not been successful due to doping scandals.C. Doping is quite mon among athletes in France and Russia.D. WADA does a good job monitoring doping in the Olympics.第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15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选项。How to Save Your Laptop after a SpillSpilling coffee, juice or water on a laptopmight seem like the end of the world, _36_.
