21、If doctors want to test you for something, they’ll usually take a blood or urine sample (尿样). But wouldn’t it be much more convenient if they just asked you to breathe through a special instrument?

In fact, your breath can say a lot about you. In traditional Chinese medicine, doctors draw a conclusion about the health state of a patient based on the smell of his or her breath; trained dogs and rats can identify the smells of the breaths of people suffering from certain cancers; traffic police also monitor drivers’ alcohol consumption by testing their breaths.

Just like blood and urine, your breath contains lots of “ metabolites ” --- the waste chemicals that the body produces, which vary from person to person. They are like personal health fingerprints, which is why scientists sometimes call them “ breath prints”, according to Science Daily.

Compared to blood or urine testing, breath testing takes only seconds instead of hours, and it requires neither a needle nor a container to hold the body fluids (体液). This means the test can be taken frequently to better detect early signs of diseases and monitor the progress of a medical treatment.

On the other hand, as an identifier, you might think that breaths are not as reliable as fingerprints since they might change based on what you eat. However, researchers in Zurich, Switzerland mapped 11 healthy volunteers’ chemical patterns by having them breathe through a special instrument, and they found that each pattern was unique and the patterns didn’t change much throughout the day, reported BBC.

“Our goal is to develop breath analysis to the point where it becomes competitive with the established analysis of blood and urine,” said Malcolm Kohler, professor at the University Hospital Zurich.

【1】According to the text we know that __________.

A. breath varies from person to person based on food

B. your breath may give you away if you are not careful

C. doctors can test one’s breath to find about his illness

D. dogs can identify people with certain cancers

【2】In comparison with blood or urine testing, breath testing is __________.

A. comfortable and convincing

D. quick and convenient

【3】What is the author’s attitude toward breath testing?

A. Doubtful.     B. Approving.

C. Unconcerned.   D. Worried.

【4】What can we infer from the text?

A. Breath testing is reliable and may have a bright future.

B. Blood or urine testing will be less used in medical treatment.

22、   A report revealed that about 85% of the working mothers surveyed felt that their parenthood had affected their career “in a significant way”. Over 30% of them said that they went through a “long period of mental distress” before announcing their pregnancy at work, and 35% said their bosses immediately started looking for their replacements after learning about their pregnancy.

While Chinese women may no longer sacrifice their careers for their husbands, they are still expected to do so for their children. The study found that nearly half of the mothers left the labor force for at least one year after giving birth, among whom roughly 20% ended up becoming stay-at-home moms. When asked about the impact of motherhood on their identities and life goals, nearly 35% said that the most profound change was how they started to balance between family and work.

The adjustment, however, is not always by choice. Responding to a question about the distribution of child¬care labor in their home, almost 40% of the working mothers said that their husbands basically spent no time on parenting.” Moreover, over half of the husbands didn't use up their paternity leave(陪产假), whereas about 21 percent never took it at all.

Another key finding from the survey was that although it's illegal for Chinese companies to ask a woman about family plans, many employers still do. The unlawful yet prevalent practice has been a main factor influencing women's decisions about timing of motherhood. The survey showed that about 40% of the childless respondents delayed parenthood because of “the time it would take,” which they thought would   have a negative impact on their promotion opportunities.

In theory, there has never been a better time than now for working mothers in China to shine. Faced with an aging population and shrinking workforce, Chinese officials encourage Chinese women to have babies while working at the same time.

【1】What can be concluded from the first paragraph?

A.Some women choose to hide their pregnancy.

B.Pregnant working women will be replaced immediately.

C.Half of working mothers go through long-term depression.

D.Most working mothers are significantly affected by parenthood.

【2】What are Chinese women expected to do according to the passage?

A.To help their husbands' career.

B.To become stay-at-home moms.

C.To sacrifice their careers for their children.

D.To be successful both at home and in company.

【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prevalent”？

A.common B.obvious C.embarrassing D.potential

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Women have greater pressure than men.

B.Pregnancy and motherhood affect working women.

C.Balance between work and family is unavailable.

D.Working moms have less promotion opportunities.

23、The deep-sea oil and gas industry has vast and costly facilities to maintain. Wells, other equipment, and thousands of kilometers of pipelines must be inspected and repaired.

Now, cutting-edge underwater drones (无人机) and robots are being developed that could make the work safer and cheaper. Among them is Eelume, a six-meter-long, snake-like robot equipped with sensors and a camera at each end. It can be kept at a station at depths of up to half a kilometer for six months, without being brought back to the surface. The robot can travel up to 20 kilometers before needing to return to its station to recharge.

Maintenance work at many deep-water wells and pipeline systems is already carried out by unmanned vehicles. But these vehicles typically need to be transported to the offshore site on a fully crewed ship and then remotely operated from onboard the surface ship. That can cost up to $100,000 per day, according to Pål Liljebäck, chief technology officer with Eelume Subsea Intervention, which developed the robot. Liljebäck says that by “enabling the robot to become a subsea resident living at a station, it can be mobilized at any time to do inspections, thereby reducing the need for costly surface ships”.

Eelume can work autonomously on tasks assigned from a control room onshore, and send back video and data. Its snake-like design allows it to work in small spaces and wriggle (扭动) its body to stay in place in strong currents. By staying under the sea, it can carry out tasks whatever the conditions on the surface of the ocean.

The global underwater robotics market is expected to be worth around $7 billion in 2025, according to analysts, and other companies are in the process of commercializing new deep-sea drone and robot technology. Eelume Subsea Intervention will carry out final testing on the seabed later this year at the Åsgard oil and gas field. It expects to put its first snake robots into use next year and hopes to have up to 50 in oceans around the world by 2027.

【1】What is one feature of Eelume?

A．It can travel nearly 40 kilometers before recharging.

B．It can dive as deep as 500 meters.

C．It works mainly around the station.

D．It works for 6 months on one charge.

【2】What is the problem with unmanned vehicles?

A．They are too costly to maintain.

B．They are hard to operate remotely.

C．They require transportation to and from work.

D．They have to work on a fully crewed ship all the time.

【3】What can be expected of Eelume in the future?

A．It will require no further tests.

B．It will be worth around $ 7 billion.

C．It will be put on the market in 2027.

D．It will face a lot of competitors.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．A snake robot is on its way for underwater tasks.

B．Eelume is the new choice for constructing pipelines.

C．Maintenance work on the ocean floor is a risky job.

D．Unmanned vehicles marketing has seen strong growth.

24、You jerk(猛然一动)awake in the middle of the night in confusion. Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room? Your brain begs your legs to move, but nothing happens. The anxiety increases. Your eyes scan the room. Just as you’re about to hit peak panic, you sit up and the figure disappears.

You’ve just experienced sleep paralysis(瘫痪), which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking. The good news is, it’s absolutely normal, even if it’s terrifying.

But when sleep paralysis happens outside of deep sleep—when a person is just dozing off—it can be “disruptive of the architecture of sleep,” said Baland Jalal, a researcher who investigates the phenomenon. That could lead to more sleep paralysis.

While not everyone who has sleep paralysis experiences hallucinations(幻觉), seeing a person or a ghost in the room is the most common vision, said Jalal. The mechanisms behind sleep paralysis remain unclear, but research indicates that certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of experiencing a jerk, including extreme exercise before sleep, inadequate sleep, emotional stress and worry, and excessive stimulant consumption (like caffeine and nicotine), especially later in the day.

“For most people, it is not indicative of any kind of disease. If you are really worried about it, regular sleep and other simple relaxation techniques, like meditation, deep breathing and yoga, may help,” said Dr. Nathaniel Watson, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. While the experience feels frightening, the episodes last only a few seconds or minutes at most. Most people slip out of it as quickly as they fell into it, he said.

【1】What is sleep paralysis?

A．A frightening dream that interrupts sleep.

B．A physical symptom of anxiety disorders.

C．A mental disease that affects sleep quality.

D．A brief state of being conscious but frozen.

【2】What do people who have sleep paralysis often experience?

A．Involuntary cough.

B．Unreal sensation.

C．Sharpened vision.

D．Sustained immobility.

【3】What does Dr. Nathaniel Watson say about sleep paralysis?

A．It is caused by inadequate sleep.

B．It can be a warning signal of diseases.

C．It is a temporary disturbing experience.

D．It can be prevented by extreme exercise.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Common Myths About Sleep Paralysis

B．Sleep Paralysis: How It Affects Sleep Patterns

C．Ways to Prevent and Cope with Sleep Paralysis

D．Sleep Paralysis: Why We Jerk Awake and Can’t Move
