At Acadia National Park.BMrs. Jones was my first patient when I started medical school and I owe her a lot.She was under my care for the first two years of my medical training, yet I knew very little about her, except that she was thin,
9、 perhaps in her mid 70s. It might seem rather negligent not to know the basic facts of my patient, but I had a valid reason Mrs. Jones was dead, and had been dead for about three years before I made a patient of her. Mrs. Jones was the dead body that I dissected (解剖) over the first two years of my m
10、edical training.Of course, her name wasnt really Mrs. Jones, but it seemed a little impolite to be conducting research into someones body without even knowing its name, so out of courtesy, I thought she should have one. “Me and Mrs. Jones, weve got a thing going on.” went the song coming out of the
11、radio as I unzipped the bag of her on my first day and so she was christened (命名).As the months passed, I soon forgot that Mrs. Jones had, in fact, once been alive. One day, though, she suddenly became very human again. Id been dissecting Mrs. Jones a good 18 months before I got around to the uterus
12、 (子宫). After Id removed it, the professor came up to me, “If you look at the opening carefully, youll see that the angle indicates that this woman has had several children, probably three.” I stared at it, and I suddenly felt very strange. This woman, who had given me something incredibly precious t
13、hat Id begun to take for granted, wasnt a dead body. She was a person, a mother, in fact.At my graduation, the same professor came over to congratulate me. I explained the story about Mrs. Jones to him, and recalled what hed told me about her having children and how that had affected me all those ye
14、ars ago.“Well,” he said, “at the beginning of your training you had a dead body and managed to turn it into a person. Now youre a doctor, the trick is to have a person and not turn them into a dead body,” and he laughed, shook my hand and walked away.4. What does the underlined word “negligent” in P

Being a doctor has nothing to do with the medical training.CA long time ago, and still in some countries today, the dollar and penny did not even exist. Actually, trading a cow for two pigs is still th
18、e norm (常态) for many cultures. So how is it that we get to use paper and coins?The biggest challenge for ancient cultures was to have a system that would allow people to exchange products with each other. However, the problem came up when one person was in need of something immediately that they did
19、nt have a product to trade. For example, a farmer that needed wheat only had fruit to exchange but the fruit wasnt ready to hand over for another two months. This is what started the idea of a “common currency”. The farmer could buy what he needed with “currency” and just as important, the value of
20、the goods he was exchanging was standardized. He did not have to worry about giving anything in return now or later; his deal was complete. Thus “money” was born.Over time, each country has developed its own currency and something that might cost 1,000,000 lire in one country might be 1 dollar in th
21、e US currency. Most countries also frequently use powerful political people as the “face” of their currency. The US currency is the best example of this. Can you name all the presidents that currently appear on not only paper money but also coins?The real excitement, however, is the future of how we
22、 buy things. People have started to use debit cards (借记卡) that allow you to pay using your bank account rather than cash. That has given way to something called Mondex. Mondex allows you to “wave” your card past any special device that can read these cards. You no longer have to insert, swipe (刷) an
23、d then punch in numbers, which could cause security problems.8. Whats the purpose of Paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic of the text.B. To explain what money was like in history.C. To tell us that there was no money long ago.D. To compare the difference between a cow and two pigs.9. The farmer had
24、 an idea of using currency when _.A. he had a product to exchangeB. he had made a lot of moneyC. he had nothing to trade for what he neededD. he would harvest his fruit10. Mondex is a kind of card which can _.A. keep you safe if you are in troubleB. save you a large amount of moneyC. help you trade
25、safely and convenientlyD. make you happy whenever you are bored11. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. The evolution of payment.B. The trade in ancient times.C. The use of money in the world.D. New ways of payment.DAbandoned around 900 years ago soon after its decoration started, Ta Keo (塔高寺
26、) has been revived by Chinese and Cambodian experts.The Angkor (吴哥窟) complex spreads over an area of 400 square kilometers. It was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1992. However, due to heavy rains, stealing and lack of protection for centuries, most temples of Angkor were seriously damaged.I
27、n order to better protect and conserve these pearls of human civilization, China joined ICC-Angkor, an international campaign launched by Cambodia and UNESCO in 1993. From Chausay Tevada to Ta Keo, the Chinese team has earned trust and established a good reputation.“Its unfinished status shows the c
28、onstruction procedures of temples in Angkor. This gives Ta Keo irreplaceable value in the study of Angkors architecture,” said Jin Zhaoyu, an engineer from the CACH (中国文化遗产研究院).Such uniqueness, however, presented greater challenges. Compared with Chausay Tevada, it covers a larger area and has more
29、risks including unsteady stone structures, a poor drainage system and fallen key parts.“Because the construction is unfinished, many fallen parts are not carved, leaving little information of its relations with other parts,” said Jin.Jin showed archives of those fallen parts, each with its ID file,
30、picture and dimensions. He said, “Every stone is unique. If one stone is in the wrong position, the gap will grow wider as you restore it and an accurate restoration will be impossible.”To better understand the temples structure and precisely restore it, the team applied the most advanced technologi
31、es, including 3D laser scanning and mapping, structural research and drone recording, to build a complete digital model of Ta Keo. Jin demonstrated the 3D model system, with which they restored the temple hundreds of times. “I can measure the dimensions of every stone and every gap in computer, and
32、search the right stone that can fit in the gap,” Jin said.This is much easier said than done. Dozens of Chinese experts from various fields worked together with Cambodian colleagues to overcome a string of obstacles. It took them eight years to restore Ta Keo.12. What can we learn about the Angkor c
33、omplex from the text?A. It has the largest size of its kind worldwideB. Its significance has been ignored for a long timeC. It is in poor condition due to a variety of reasonsD. It was abandoned because of its poor decoration13. Why is Ta Keo so important in the field of architecture?A. It covers a
34、very large area.B. It has a history of over 900 years.C. It tells how the temple was built.D. It was on the World Heritage List.14. What was the biggest challenge the Chinese team faced while restoring Ta Keo?A. Knowing little about its structure.B. Building the 3D model system.C. Serious damage it
35、had suffered.D. Cooperation with Cambodian colleagues.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Hi-tech Applied to Restore Ta KeoB. Protecting Pearls of Human CivilizationC. International Cooperation and RestorationD. Chinas Role in Restoring Cambodian Heritage二语法填空：While proud of its great inventi
36、ons in ancient times, China has once again shown its ability to change the world with its “four new great inventions”: high-speed rail, mobile payments, bike-sharing and e-commerce.“The four new great inventions are all _41_ (relate) to Chinas high-tech innovation. _42_ improved the quality of peopl
37、es lives,” said Wu Hao, executive director of the BRRI. As a huge fan of bicycles, Bernard Schwartlander, World Health Organization Representative in China, _43_ (express) his love for Chinas shared bicycles, saying that “Shared bikes are bringing cycling back _44_ peoples lives and they are making
38、public transport more attractive and convenient.”Rebecca Fannin, _45_ (edit) of Silicon Dragon, noted that China is beginning to lead in innovation in some ways. “This is _46_ (part) because China skipped over the PC era and went directly to the mobile. China has the _47_ (large) mobile use in the w
39、orld.”With regard to the “four new inventions”, Charlie Dai, principal analyst of American market research company Forrester, said these products and services have definitely improved customer experience, developing national and _48_ (globe) economy at the same time.A growing number of foreigners ho
