Health officials in the United States re...

    Health officials in the United States reported last week on what they believe could be a medical first. Officials said doctors performed what could be the first double lung transplant(移植)on a person whose lungs were severely damaged from vaping(吸电子烟). The operation reportedly saved the life of the teenager.

The young man was admitted in early September to a Detroit-area hospital with what appeared to be a common lung infection, but was later sent to Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit. On October 3, he was transported to Henry Ford Hospital, where the transplant was performed 12 days later.

Hassan Nemeh is a surgical director of thoracic(胸腔的)organ transplant at Henry Ford Hospital. He told The Associated PressThe APthat the damage done to the teenager’s lungs from vaping was so bad that there was no possibility to totally recover. He warned parents to think about that and to tell their children as well.

More than 2,000 Americans who vape have gotten sick since March. Many of them are teenagers and young adults. At least 40 people have died.

Recently, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a discovery into what might be causing people who vape to become sick. They identified the chemical compound vitamin E acetate(醋酸盐)as a “very strong criminal”.

Researchers found the chemical compound in fluid taken from the lungs of 29 patients. In other studies, Vitamin E acetate was found in liquid from electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices. Many who got sick said they had vaped liquids that contain THC, the part of marijuana that creates what is known as a “high”.

Dr. Lisa Allenspach is a lung specialist and medical director of Henry Ford’s Lung Transplant Program. She told The AP, “Vaping-related injuries are all too common these days. Our adolescents are faced with a crisis.” She added that vaping products should not be used in any way.

Dr. Nemeh said the 17-year-old patient’s case does not open any new moral considerations about transplants for people who severely damage their own lungs by vaping. He added, “We hope sharing this patient’s story prevents anyone else from experiencing a vaping injury that would require a transplant.”

The operation reportedly saved the life of the teenager.“有关官员表示,医生为一名肺部严重受损的患者进行了可能是首例双肺移植手术。据报道,这次手术挽救了这名少年的生命。”由此判断出,那个年轻人很有可能从肺损伤中幸存下来。故选D。 2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中but was later sent to Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit. On October 3, he was transported to Henry Ford Hospital, where the transplant was performed 12 days later.“但后来被送往底特律的密歇根儿童医院。10月3日,他被送往亨利福特医院,12天后在那里进行了移植手术。”和第三段第一句Hassan Nemeh is a surgical director of thoracic(胸腔的)organ transplant at Henry Ford Hospital.“哈桑·内梅赫(Hassan Nemeh)是亨利·福特医院胸器官移植外科主任。”由此可知,文中提到三家医院。故选C。 3. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Dr. Lisa Allenspach is a lung specialist and medical director of Henry Ford’s Lung Transplant Program. She told The AP, “Vaping-related injuries are all too common these days. Our adolescents are faced with a crisis.” She added that vaping products should not be used in any way. Lisa Allenspach医生是一位肺部专家,也是亨利·福特肺部移植项目的医学主任。她对美联社表示:“如今,与电子烟相关的伤害太常见了。我们的青少年面临着一场危机。她补充说,电子烟产品不应该以任何方式使用。由此可知,Lisa Allenspach博士对电子烟产品的态度是“反对”。故选C。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段Dr. Nemeh said the 17-year-old patient’s case does not open any new moral considerations about transplants for people who severely damage their own lungs by vaping. He added, “We hope sharing this patient’s story prevents anyone else from experiencing a vaping injury that would require a transplant.” 内梅赫说,这名17岁患者的病例不会为那些因吸电子烟严重损害自己肺部的人带来任何新的关于器官移植的道德考虑。他补充说:“我们希望分享这位病人的故事,可以防止其他人遭受电子烟造成的伤害,而需要进行移植手术。”由此可知,分享这个青少年的故事的目的是阻止电子烟。故选A。

    Japanese scientists and technology companies are coming up with new ways to deal with employee shortages in delivery service. How exactly? By introducing a robot that can deliver food to your home. A Japanese company ZMP has launched robot tests recently.

The ZMP's delivery robot in the process of testing is a red box that measures 109 cm and 133 cm in heights and lengths respectively. It is designed to carry up to 100 kilograms of anything with a approximate speed of 4 miles an hour. It has its own navigating system and a map, sensors(传感器)and cameras that allow it to self-drive. These, for now, are its main technical abilities. The next developments will be control of food temperature, and perhapsvoice control and speaking abilities.

The robot will be tested together with a local sushi(寿司)delivery company Ride on Express Co. Upon making a sushi order, customers will receive codes on their smart phones that will allow them to unlock the robot and get their orders out. Similar testing attempts have been undertaken by Domino's Pizza in Australia, where they tested a delivery robot a year ago.

In any case, before robots are able to deliver food or any other goods to real customers, massive testing on public roads or in the public air space will have to take place. While it is in the government's best interest to make up for the shortage of delivery in the Japanese labor market, it is clear that self-driving machines of any kind will not be permitted on the roads until they are fully tested and proven safe enough for public roads. According to the experts, this could take another 3 to 5 years.

In any case, robot delivery is not such a distant future after all, and recent developments show that there is significant market demand for such type of delivery.

1.How do Japanese handle the employee shortages in delivery service?

A.By raising employment and working hours.

B.By employing science and technology.

C.By increasing the salary.

D.By delivering more at a time.

2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The introduction of delivery robots.

B.The usage of delivery robots.

C.The basic data of delivery robots.

D.The appearance of delivery robots.

3.What's the reaction of Japanese government to delivery robots?

A.Being critical of the technology.

B.Ignoring the development.

C.Being a little bit hesitated.

D.Becoming great interested.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A.Robot DeliveryNew Tests in Japan B.Robot Delivery Coming to Use in Japan

C.Employee Shortage in Delivery in Japan D.Latest Automatic ServiceRobots

    Stephen Hawking was regarded as one of the most brilliant physicists in history. His work on the origins and structure of the universe, from the Big Bang to black holes, changed the field greatly. His best-selling books also appealed to a number of readers.

Stephen Hawking had a challenging life. He was born in England on Jan. 8, 1942-300 years to the day after the death of the astronomer Galileo Galilei. He attended University College, Oxford, where he studied physics, despite his father’s urging to focus on medicine. Hawking went on to Cambridge to research cosmology.

In early 1963, just before his 2lst birthday, Hawking suffered from a serious disease, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. He was not expected to live more than two years. Completing his doctor’s degree did not appear likely. Yet, Hawking had overcome the great difficulties, not only attaining his Ph. D. but also building new roads into the understanding of the universe in the decades since.

Hawking continued at Cambridge after his graduation, serving as a research fellow and later as a professional fellow. In 1974he was inducted(正式就职)into the Royal Societya worldwide fellowship of scientists. In 1979, he was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, the most famous academic chair in the world.

As the disease spread, Hawking became less mobile and began using a wheelchair. Talking grew more challenging and, in 1985, an emergency tracheotomy(气管切开术)caused his total loss of speech. A speech-generating device was constructed at Cambridge, combined with a software program, serving as his electronic voice and allowing Hawking to select his words by moving the muscles in his cheek. Hawking died on March 14, 2018.

1.What greatly influenced the field Stephen Hawking studied?

A.Stephen Hawking’s best-selling books.

B.His research on the Big Bang and black holes.

C.Stephen Hawking’s talent.

D.The origins and structure of the universe.

2.What does the underlined word “cosmology” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.A study about universe.

B.A subject of medicine.

C.A research on time.

D.A project in Cambridge.

3.What happened to Stephen Hawking in early 1963?

A.He became world famous.

B.He achieved his doctor’s degree.

C.He was badly affected by a serious disease.

D.He built new roads into the understanding of the universe.
