26、From a black bear and a wild pig to a snake and a bees nest, from landslides and thunderstorms to getting lost and car accidents, Zhou You has met various difficulties during his trips. He describes himself as someone who looks dusty in poor clothes with two cameras. However, when he sees a plant, his eyes light up.
Zhou lives a lonely life each year from April to October. He is never home, either taking photos of plants in the mountains or on his way to find plants. As for the rest of year, he never leaves his chair at home, writing down the information about plants that he’s got from his trips for books.
The 60-year-old is a retired professor of a university in Jilin province. His decades of hard work has recently turned into a book series, Atlas of Medicinal Plant Recourse in the Northeast of China, which is made up of nine books about over 1, 800 wild medicinal plants with 5. 5 million words and over 13, 000 photos. It has been well known as Northeast China’s modern version (版本) of Bencao Gangmu, an encyclopedic work of medicine and natural history, by Li Shizhen from the Ming Dynasty.
During his first trip to Changbai Mountain, he was deeply impressed by its beauty. He started to collect information about plants in his 20s when he realized that the information of many plant species was incomplete. Since then, he decided to visit the mountain and take photos of the plants and their environment to fill in the missing parts.
The book series is believed to have important reference value for experts who study medicinal plants in Northeast China and it provides first-hand information for the development, usage and protection of the plants in the area.

27、One woman named Nancy Lublin noticed that teenagers in the United States needed more mental health services. She also saw that teenagers seemed more comfortable communicating through texting. These two realizations pushed Lublin to create Crisis Text Line, an organization that focuses on crisis intervention through text messaging.
“Texting turns out to be incredibly effective for counseling in a crisis,” Lublin told Glamour magazine. “It cuts right to the chase. You don’t get hyperventilating(呼吸急促) and crying. You just get facts.” When someone texts Crisis Text Line, the counselors, who are trained volunteers, use listening, collaborative problem-solving, and referrals to best help the texter overcome their crisis. “The Crisis Text Line has blown the roof off a lot of long-held assumptions about teens,” said Anthony Pisani, a member of Crisis Text Line’s clinical advisory board. He continued: “The number of kids reaching out is unprecedented. And I think the data could be revolutionary in terms of understanding adolescents in crisis and what it takes to help them.”
In fact, the data has already helped to uncover new trends. For example, the organization found that 30 percent of texts are about depression and suicide. They also found that two-thirds of crises occur at night between 8 pm and 4 am. Although the counselors don’t exactly know what causes these trends, they hope the data, which is made publicly available on CrisisTrends.org, can be used by researchers to better understand what might trigger them. They also hope that making this data public will better reduce the shame surrounding mental health support. Since starting in August 2013, Crisis Text Line has had over 5.5 million conversations with people seeking immediate mental health help. That number is only expected to grow as more people become comfortable enough to reach out for help when they are experiencing a mental health crisis.
“People are texting us from the office, from the lunch table,” Lublin said. “They’re texting us right when something is happening. So we’re getting them at the moment we can be most impactful — and we’re telling them they’re not alone.” Lublin commented, “I’ve got to admit that it feels pretty good to save lives.”
【1】What’s the main purpose of Crisis Text Line?
A．To collect data about teenage health issues.
B．To offer teenagers mental health support.
C．To train teens to provide texting services.
D．To smooth parent-teen communication.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “cuts right to the chase” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Involves a lot of work.
B．Lends someone a hand.
C．Communicates feelings.
D．Goes directly to the point.
【3】Why is the data made public?
A．To explore causes and solutions.
B．To promote the organization.
C．To call attention to mental health.
D．To know what adolescents care about
【4】What does Lublin think of Crisis Text Line?
A．It gives her a sense of achievement.
B．It helps her overcome her mental problems.
C．Its services should be more effective.
D．The number of its users is likely to drop.
28、Deveza’s mother was on the waiting list for a kidney transplant (肾移植). Deveza wanted to donate one of her own kidneys, but she was turned down because she might develop the same health problems as her mother in later life.
Deveza came up with a different plan. In 2017, she started the world’s first paired exchange of different organs between living donors, exchanging half her liver (肝) for someone else’s kidney. A case study of the organ exchange has now been published. And the surgeons who were involved are calling for more exchanges like this. “You can imagine the enormous impact for mixed organ extended chains,” says John Roberts, a surgeon at University of California, San Francisco.
Most organ transplants come from people who have died, but there are never enough organs. As most people can manage with just one of their kidneys, people with kidney failure are increasingly receiving donated organs from relatives or friends. If someone wants to donate but their immune (免疫的) system is unsuited, doctors may be able to find pairs of would-be donors who can each give a kidney to the other’s relative.
When Deveza was looking into such chains, she came across research describing the idea of trading a kidney with the only other organ generally taken from a living donor—the liver. She suggested the idea to many hospitals before she finally contacted Roberts, who saw the idea’s potential.
Deveza was assessed to be in good enough health to donate part of her liver. It then took 18 months to find Annie Simmons, in Idaho, whose liver was unsuitable to use as a transplant for her sister with severe liver disease. They drew up a plan: Simmons would donate a kidney to Deveza’s mother, and in return, Deveza would give half her liver to Simmons’ sister. The hospital gave the go-ahead and the four operations took place on the same day successfully.
The team hopes that the ground-breaking case will inspire more people to consider doing the same. Roberts says that direct exchanges involving two donors could enable up to thirty extra living donor liver transplants a year—a ten per cent increase.
【1】What did Deveza do to save her mother?
A．Carrying out a case study.
B．Calling for kidney donations.
C．Launching a medical experiment.
D．Trading half her liver for a kidney.
【2】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．Patients’ hopelessness to survive.
B．Several sources of organ donation.
C．Current situation of organ transplants.
D．Doctors’ efforts to improve organ transplants.
【3】What can be inferred about the organ exchange between Deveza and Simmons?
A．It discouraged organ donation.
B．It brought two families together.
C．It met with widespread approval.
D．It produced a desirable outcome.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．My Liver, Your Kidney
B．Mother’s Love, Our Happiness
C．Organ Transplant: Blessing for Patients
D．Organ Exchange: Major Medical Advances
29、It is reported in the national press that a letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives (档案馆) by the FBI after being stolen twice.
“We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing,” says Effie Kapsalis, head of the Smithsonian Institution Archives. “It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern (实习生), from what the FBI is telling us. Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes, and the intern put the letter back. Then the intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it.”
Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very close to Washington, D.C. Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press charges (起诉) because the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian’s property.
The letter is in fairly good condition, in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long. “It was luckily in good shape,” says Kapsalis, “and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it. It has some glue on it that has coloured it slightly, but nothing will prevent us from using it. After it is repaired, we will take digital photos of it and those will be available online. One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online.”
It would now be difficult for an intern, a visitor or a thief to steal a document like this. “Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s,” says Kapsalis, “and we keep our high-value documents in a safe that I don’t even have access to.”

【2】What did the FBI do after finding the letter?

B．They proved that the letter was the original.

D．They made criminal charges but failed the case.
【3】What will happen to the letter after being repaired according to the text?
A．Ordinary people will have access to reading it online.
B．The Archives will arrange an exhibition of the letter.
C．The letter will be reserved for research purposes only.
D．Security measures will get improved to protect the letter.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．An Intern Was Charged with Theft
B．A Missing Letter Was Returned
C．An Exhibit Was Repaired with Efforts
D．A Criminal case Was Solved
