22、Captain America and Blackpanther were about to defend Earth from the criminal Thanos when Kevin Foley first noticed something was wrong. Foley, a 46-year old information-technology worker from Kyle, Texas, was heading into the theater to see Avengers: Infinity War when he realized he was having trouble breathing normally. The same symptom struck again during another movie the following night, but more severe this time. Once the cast on the second film rolled, Foley took action: he looked at his wristwatch. It was a bigger step than you might imagine, because Foley was wearing an Apple Watch equipped with medical sensors and experimental software to track basic functions of his heart. And the watch was worried. It had, according to the display, detected signs of an irregular heartbeat.

Before long, Foley was in an emergency room, where doctors hooked him up to an ECG(心电图), which showed that he was in atrial fibrillation(心房颤动), an irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots(血栓), stroke and other potentially disastrous diseases. Foley spent the next few days in the hospital while doctors worked to return him to a normal heart rhythm eventually turning to a procedure called electrical cardioversion to shock his heart back to normal. Foley is doing fine now. But he believes that, if not for the warning on his watch, he might not have sought help in time. “I would have never known,” he says.

Foley and his watch were part of an experiment run by Apple and Stanford’s medical school. But beginning Dec. 6, anyone can get an on-the-fly heart checkup, assuming they’ve paid $399 or more for an Apple Watch. That’s when Apple will launch a software update that turns its latest model, called the Series 4, into a personal ECG, thanks to an innovative new sensor. Though less complicated than hospital ECG machines, the watch version can still provide basic information and warnings of potential risks worthy of a closer look by a medical professional.

For Apple, this new ECG-on-your-wrist is its biggest bet yet that personal technology will inevitably include personal health. Along with competitors, Apple has already offered fitness functions, such as apps to track the steps you’ve walked. But with the new ECG scan, Apple is moving straight into medical aspects of heath, a distinction underlined by the fact it sought and received Food and Drug Administration clearance for the clearance for the heart monitor.

【1】What’s the function of the story of Foley in Paragraphs 1 and 2?

A．To arouse the readers’ interest.

B．To raise a common problem.

C．To lead the readers to the topic.

D．To guide the readers to do first aid.

【2】How can Foley’s wristwatch detect signs of an irregular heartbeart?

A．By being equipped with an innovative new medical sensor.

B．By being hooked straight up to an EGG in an emergency room.

C．By being paid not less than $399 for the latest Apple Watch.

D．By being accessible to Food and Drug Administration clearance for the heart monitor.

【3】According to the passage, if someone wants to get an on-the-fly heart checkup, he or she ________.

A．can equip himself/herself with an ECG machine

B．can purchase an Apple Watch of any model

C．can buy a new Apple Watch Series 4

D．can have his or her old Apple Watch updated

【4】The purpose of the passage is to ________.

A．advertise and promote a new kind of Apple watch

B．inform us of a new function of the latest Apple Watch

C．tell us a lucky story of Foley’s being saved by his new Apple Watch

D．warn us of the danger of not being equipped with the latest Apple Watch

23、   Sunflowers are something most of us usually think about in August, but with the arrival of the seed catalogs(分类), winter is a good time to start thinking about which ones you might want to grow this coming year. Most gardeners are familiar with the tall giant sunflowers. But there are three or four dozen other varieties.

First, you need to understand that sunflowers don’t all bloom at the same time. In my trials I grouped. them according to bloom time. Early means they bloom in late July or early August. The mid-season ones bloom in mid-August. The late season sunflowers usually flower from late August to early September.

For the early sunflowers, in my trials Pacino was one of the best one year, but was not as striking this past year. It has yellow flowers, about four inches across, and is about two fee high. Other low-growing, early choices are the yellow Sunspot, Del Sol, or Dwarf Yellow Spray. The latter has a lot of branches as its name indicates. Double Dandy is an early, low, red and yellow combination.

For the mid-season choices, this past year my best performers included three varieties that attain heights of five feet—the red-orange Claret, the strikingly dark red Moulin Rouge, and the gold Sunny. Two four-foot sunflowers that I’d recommend for home gardens are the red-yellow combination Ring of Fire, an All-America Selections Award winner, Lemonade, with its interesting mix of light and yellow petals(花瓣).

If you are looking for a late season variety, my favorite is Titanic, a double gold, four-foot tall variety that bloomed much of September and into October in my trials this past year. Other good choices include the light yellow Valentine, the gold Soraya, and the double gold Giant Sungold. This winter, as you leaf through(翻阅) the seed catalogs as the the snow gently falls outside your window, think about summer sunflowers. Thoughts of these flowers are sure to warm the coldest of winter days.

【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A．There are many different varieties of sunflowers.

B．The writer likes the tall giant sunflowers best.

C．You can try to grow sunflowers in winter.

D．Sunflowers only bloom in August.

【2】Which kind of sunflower may you see in late July or early August?

A．Sunny.

B．Claret.

C．Moulin Rouge.

D．Dwarf Yellow Spray.

【3】What do we know about “Ring of Fire” from the text?

A．It is two feet high and about four inches across.

B．The color of it is a combination of red and yellow.

C．It can only be planted in the southern areas of America.

D．It usually blooms much of September and into October.

【4】How many kinds of late sunflowers are mentioned in the text?

A．Two.

B．Three.

C．Four.

D．Five.
