英语试题

一、阅读理解

''Do not tell anyone''. We often hear these words when someone tells us a secret. But keeping a

secret is hard. We're often tempted(引诱) to ''spill the beans'', even if we regret it later.

According to the professor, Asim Shah, keeping a secret may well ''become a burden''. This is

because people often have an ''eager and anxious urge(冲动) to share it with someone''. An earlier

study, led by Anita, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret

could cause stress. People entrusted(托付) with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body

aches, reported the Daily Mail.

Secrets are so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people

often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt

over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are

close do not share it with each other. ''Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of

either gaining or losing the trust of someone. '' according to Shah.

He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesn't mean that it is a good

idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything

inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.

Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you'd better put yourself in their

position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn't give the information away.

Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone's secret you should come clean

about it. Let the person know that their secret isn't so secret anymore.

When 6-year-old Jack Foley crossed the finish line last month at the Long Beach Kids

Triathlon, it was more than an athletic achievement. His completion marked a remarkable recovery

from a rare heart condition.

The journey began before Jack was born.

At a routine 20-week examination, doctors told parents-to-be Rob Foley and Lauren Kiefer-

Foley of Long Island, New York, that the fetus’ (胎儿的) heart wasn’t properly developing. “The

doctor told us, ‘we can’t see the left side of the baby’s heart,’ Kiefer-Foley recalled.” He told us,

“you need to get to a cardiologist (心脏病专家) first thing in the morning.”

Further tests would confirm a diagnosis of hypo plastic left heart syndrome, a rare birth fault

affecting the heart’s ability to pump blood through the body. Doctors informed the couple about the

risks and challenges their child could face. “We were advised by many doctors to terminate our

pregnancy because the condition is so severe. They told us that most babies don’t even survive birth,

let alone the first surgery,” Kiefer-Foley said.

Nonetheless, the couple decided to give their baby a chance.

After Jack was born at full-term via a scheduled C-section (剖腹产), doctors took him straight to

a care unit to administer the level of care he would need before his first open-heart surgery days later.

“When the doctor said ‘it’s a boy!’ I didn’t get to see him for hours after that.” Kiefer-Foley said.

They would also have to wait until after Jack’s first surgery to hold him for the first time.

With a successful delivery behind them, it was now up to Dr. Emile Bacha, chief of Morgan

Stanley Children’s Hospital to guide Jack through a series of surgeries to repair the newborn’s heart.

4.Why did the author say “it was more than an athletic achievement” in Paragraph 1?

A.Jack was only six years old.

B.The event was too difficult.

C.Jack once suffered from severe heart disease.

D.Jack didn’t recover from severe heart disease.

5.What was the bad effect of Jack’s disease?

A.It led to inadequate blood supply. B.The beat of heart was not heard.

C.His intelligence will not develop properly. D.The right side of the baby’s heart can’t be seen.

6.What does the underlined word “terminate” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.continue B.stop

C.change D.adjust

7.What will most probably be talked about in the next part of the text?

A.Jack’s journey all over the world.

B.The sorrow and despair of Jack’s parents.

C.Jack’s major academic achievement.

D.Jack’s remarkable recovery from heart disease.

This could be the perfect gift for the partner,who embarrasses you on the dance floor.Smart

socks,which can teach to dance,may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.

The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills.Thanks to the

socks,users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well.It means the

user maximizes their performance,and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt.The hi-tech socks

are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet.They look,feel and can be washed

like normal clothes.

Sensors（传感器）record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter（脚踝发射器）to a

smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what

they are doing wrong,and help to improve skill in any task with feet.

The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers."People think running is so easy and of

course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,"Dr Davide Vigano said.A recent

study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year.This is pretty much more

than any other human activity.Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people

how to dance,play sports such as golf,or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.

Mr.Vigano said,“People could all benefit from the idea.We have had interest from all sorts of

sports,like skiing, football,cycling and golf.Anything where you have to use your feet can use it.It

could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”

Socks are just the start,and the technology could be used in gloves,hats and boots.The socks,anklet

and software package,are expected to be sold for around￡120,which will go on sale in March.

8.What does the underlined part "anyone with two left feet" refer to?

A. People who are disabled.

B. People who are interested in dancing.

C. People who are not good at dancing.

D. People who invented the socks.
