Laura Sides was a psychology major at the University of Nottingham in 2004. She first noticed signs of her dad’s developing dementia(痴呆) when she moved to Nottingham. She said, "Dad was a doctor, so he knew exactly what had happened to him, but people try to hide it when they are ill. Then, I came home for my 21st birthday and arranged to meet him, but he never showed up as he’d forgotten. That’s when I knew something serious had happened." So, aged 21, she decided to leave university and look after him herself. She lived close by, popping in every day to make sure he was eating, and that the house was tidy, before heading off to her work. Besides challenging moments, there was a time when looking after her dad was a pure joy. "We’d wake up, I’d ask what he wanted to do that day, and however ridiculous the adventure is, off we’d go." Sadly, in 2009, 5 years later, Laura lost her father. Before he died, Laura went to a hospital appointment with him, where doctors mentioned that his form of Alzheimer’s disease was genetic meaning there was a fifty-fifty chance that she had inherited it. For several years Laura agonised over whether to be tested, finally finding out in August 2017 that she has the APP gene, meaning that, like him, she will develop the condition within a decade. At first, she struggled, feeling as if her life lacked purpose. Then, during a sleepless night in the summer of 2018, she decided at around 2 a.m. to enter the 2019 London Marathon sponsored by the charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research UK. She hoped to start the conversation around early-onset Alzheimer’s disease and to encourage people to talk about it more openly. "I remember when Dad was ill, people wouldn’t know how to react, but I want to be honest and open," she added. "The more information we can get, the less of a taboo(忌讳) we will feel. That said, the support I’ve received so far after going public has been amazing — that’s what is carrying me through." 1.Laura noticed her father’s dementia when . A.her father told her his condition in person B.people nearby informed her of his father’s condition C.her father forgot his own birthday party D.her father forgot to attend her 21-year-old birthday party 2.The underlined word "agonised" in Paragraph 4 probably means . A.excited B.struggled C.shocked D.delighted 3.Laura started the open talk in the hope of . A.getting people to talk about Alzheimer’s disease openly B.earning some money to help treat her Alzheimer’s disease C.making herself stronger to fight against Alzheimer’s disease D.raising funds for charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s disease Research UK 4.Which words can best describe Laura? A.Caring and positive. B.Careful and honest. C.Patient and cautious. D.Devoted and modest.

For as long as we’ve known about it, humans have searched for a cure for cancer. Across the world, countless amounts of time and money have been spent on researching a way to stop this terrible disease. But now, it seems like the answer could have been inside our own bodies the whole time. Recently, the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) in the US, a government agency that’s responsible for healthcare, approved a new form of gene therapy(疗法) that could mean the end of a certain type of cancer. The therapy allows scientists to “train” the immune(有免疫力的) cells of sick patients to fight leukemia(白血病) — a form of blood cancer that mostly affects young people. The exciting new treatment works by removing healthy immune cells from the patient, known as T-cells, which are then changed to be able to “hunt down” cancer cells. The cells are then put back into the patient before they begin to get rid of the patient’s leukemia over time, similar to how the body fights off other illnesses. “This is truly an exciting new day for cancer patients,” Louis J. DeGennaro, president of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, said in a news release. Up until now, a long and painful marrow transplant(骨髓移植) was the only option for many leukemia patients. In this procedure, healthy blood cells are taken from a donator and placed into the sick patient, who also has to go through chemotherapy (化疗) to allow their body to adjust to the new cells. But with a recovery rate of around 83% — according to a news release published by the FDA — it’s hoped that the days of painful trips to the hospital, or even death, are over for leukemia sufferers. “We’re entering a new frontier in medical innovation(创新) with the ability to reprogram a patient’s own cells to attack a deadly cancer,” FDA representative Scott Gottlieb said in the release. “New technologies such as gene and cell therapies hold the potential to transform medicine and our ability to treat and even cure many incurable illnesses.” 1.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage? A.To compare different ways of curing leukemia. B.To report on a breakthrough in cancer treatment. C.To explore the potential of gene and cell therapies. D.To show scientists’ efforts in search of a cure for cancer. 2.How does the new treatment to fight leukemia work? A.By using changed T-cells to destroy cancer cells. B.By replacing sick blood cells with healthy ones. C.By removing sick blood cells during marrow transplant. D.By using chemotherapy to improve the patient’s immune system. 3.What can be inferred about the new therapy for leukemia sufferers? A.It can save them many more trips to the hospital. B.It can improve their ability to fight off all kinds of cancer. C.It can give them a better chance of survival and recovery. D.It can reduce their pain in the process of marrow transplant. 4.What is Scott Gottlieb’s attitude toward gene and cell therapies? A.Doubtful. B.Optimistic. C.Worried. D.Casual.

Robots are now being employed not just for dangerous tasks, such as discovering mines or rescuing people in disasters. They are also finding application as household helps and as nursing assistants. As increasing numbers of machines, equipped with the latest artificial intelligence, take on a growing variety of specialized and everyday tasks, the question of how people see them and behave towards them becomes ever more urgent. A team led by Sari Nijssen of Radboud University and Markus Paulus, Professor of Developmental Psychology at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU),have carried out a study to determine the degree to which people show concern for robots and behave towards them based on moral principles. According to Sari Nijssen, the study set out to answer the following question:” Under what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human lives?” The participants were faced with a hypothetical (假设的) moral dilemma: Would they be prepared to put a single person at risk in order to save a group of injured persons? In the situations presented the intended victim was either a human, a humanoid robot that had been humanized (人性化的) to various degrees or a robot that was clearly recognizable as a machine. The study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likely participants were to sacrifice it. Situations that included vivid stories in which the robot was described as a merciful being or as a creature with its own understandings, experiences and thoughts, were more likely to stop the study participants from sacrificing it in the interests of anonymous (无名的) humans. “This result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the robot,” says Paulus. “One possible suggestion of this finding is that attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could come into conflict with their intended function—to be of help to us.” 1.What has become a concern about robots? A.How to humanize them. B.How to treat them in life. C.How to use them effectively. D.How to find more applications. 2.In the study the participants probably have to decide ________. A.when to sacrifice a robot B.where to experience risks C.which robot to work with D.what robots should be like 3.What can be inferred from Paulus’ words? A.Humanized robots offer less help to people. B.Humanizing robots too much may be improper. C.Certain moral status should be attached to robots. D.Conflicts often happen between humans and robots. 4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A.Robots, A Must for Future B.Humanized Robots, A New Trend C.Robot Saved, People Take the Hit D.Humanized Robots, Replace Human
