20、e that I have been to, such as Prague and Saint Petersburg. At the same time, it has many features that make this western Ukrainian （乌克兰） city unique. Lviv is rather small, though rich with historical heritages； as a result, you cannot make a single step without running into the next attraction. The
21、 historical center, if it had no places of interest, could be crossed in no time； however you will need at least four days to gel a rough picture of it. But let me tell you everything in order. The first thing that caught my eye was the architecture Perhaps, for those who have traveled across Europe
22、 it could seem less unique, but I was astonished? though I am a brat-up traveler. The reason for my surprise is that Lviv? s houses breathe with time： the city isnt, so restored as Prague, for instance, but accurate. So, while walking the streets* you will repeatedly catch yourself imagining you got
23、 into the 17th century somehow ； many regular buildings in Lviv are at least 2-3 centuries old. Besides architecture which I will review in detail a bit later, I must mention two other phenomena that caught my attention in Lviv: the number of themed cafes and restaurants? and extremely polite and fr
24、iendly people. As for the cafethey can be safely considered a landmark of the city； looking back, I can tell you that you can hardly find two cafes in Lviv that would be at least remotely similar to each other. During my first day, I visited the well-known House of Legends where each floor and each
25、dining hall is restricted to their own themes. The atmosphere inside was relaxing, though there were lots of tourists like me, dropping in to take a picture. My advice： if you want to enjoy a beautiful cityscape, climb to the roof of this restaurant at sunset j sitting there with a glass of wine and
26、 watching the sun roll behind ancient roofs was an unforgettable experience for me, People in Lviv are friendly； you can always count on help, even if you dont know Ukrainian. The people I was talking to knew English quite well一 knowledgeable enough to explain to me where I could go and what to see*
27、 Many townsmen smiled without any obvious reason, though I arrived in Lviv the day before Christmas, so maybe this was the reason of the peoples? uplifted mood. 24. What is so special about the city of Lviv? A. The historical centre is very large. B. The winter is extremely beautiful there. C. The t
28、ourist sites are close to each other. D. The features of this city are typical in Ukraine. 25. Why does the author feel astonished in paragraph 3? A. Because the city is poorly restored, B. Because the houses changes through time. C. Because the architecture seems less unique in Lviv. D. Because the
29、 buildings looked the same as centuries ago. 26. Which one has the closest meaning to the underlined word in the text? A. Exhausted. B. Experienced. C. Energetic. D. Enthusiastic. 27. What caught the authors attention during his visit? 5 A. Tourists interest in taking pictures. B. People being excit
30、ed about Christ mas, C. Local peoples willingness in offering guidance. D. Ail cafes having different themes for each floor, C Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and sponsors. Young sail
31、ors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage yet the Prime Minister called her a hero for young Australians when she returned. It seemed there is confusion about the competence and independence of young people. The popular psychologists
32、 tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals* Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by di
33、scussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters* But it? s also wrong to think that any 16-y
34、ear old can desire to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watsons. Watson calls herself an ordinary girl who had a dream. Her intention is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all t
35、eens have such dreams? Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams. Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived （事先形成 的） views about young people. Nor should young “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary person
36、al goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us ordinary people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others. 28, Why is Jessica Watson mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To praise Jessica ?s great achi
37、evement. B. To point out the medias interest in young people. C. To introduce a divided idea about young peoples adventures. D. To show the Prime Ministers attitude against the government. 29. What can be inferred about teenagers from the text? A. They need supports of responsible adults. B. Their a
38、bilities vary with the level of independence, C. They tend to make wrong decisions between 14 and 18. D. Their attempts in dangerous journeys prove their lacking experience. 30. What does Jessica mean by calling herself an ordinary girl who had a dream”？ A. Dreams need encouragement* B. Teenagers sh
39、ould have wild dreams. C. Everyone would accomplish what Jessica has done. 6 D. Ordinary teens could also make great achievements, 31. Whats the authors attitude towards teenagers travelling alone? A. Supportive, B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Sympathetic. D. The different parts of a health care sy
40、stem have different focuses. A hospitals stroke（中风） unit monitors blood flow in the brain. The cardiac unit is interested in that same flow, but through and from the heart. Each collection of equipment and data is effective in its own field. Thus f like the story of blind men feeling an elephant, mo
41、dern health care offers many separate pictures of a patient, but rarely a useful united one. On top of all this, the instruments that doctors use to monitor health are often expensive, as is the training required to use them. That combined cost is too high for the medical system to scan regularly fo
42、r early signs of illness so patients are at risk of heart disease or a stroke. An unusual research project called AlzEye, runby Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, in cooperation with University College London （UCL）十 may change this. It is attempting to use the eye as a window through which signals a
43、bout the health of other organs could be discovered. The doctors in charge of it Siegfried Wagner and Pearse Keane, are studying Moorfields? database of eye scans, which offers a detailed picture of the health of the retina.（视网膜）. The project will go a step further： With the information about other
44、aspects of patients* health collected from other hospitals around England doctors will be able to look for more accurate signs of disease through eye scans. Lhe Moorfields data set has lots of linked cases to work with 一 far more than any similar project. For instance, the UK Biobank? one of the wor
45、ld s leading collections of medical data about individual people, contains 631 cases of a major cardiac adverse event”. The Moorfields data contain about 12, 000 such. The Biobank has data on about 1, 50。stroke patients. Moorfields has 11 f 900. For the disease on which the Moorfields project will f
46、ocus to start with dementia, the data set holds 15. 100 cases. The only comparable study has 86. Wagner and Keane are searching for patterns in the eye that show the appearance of disease elsewhere int he body. If such patterns could be recognized reliably, the potential influence would be huge. 32.
47、 What does the author mean by referring to the story of blind men feeling an elephant” Paragraph 1? A. The scanning process is complex B. Modern health ca?re system has its limitations. C. The data collected from the units is not effective. D. Different health care units have many similarities. 33.
48、How does AlzEye work? A. By examining ones body organs thoroughly . B. By helping doctors discover ones diseases of the eye. C. By identifying ones state of health through eye scans. D. By comparing the eye-scan data from different hospitals. 34. Whats the purpose of the numbers mentioned in paragra
49、ph 5? A. To criticize the repeating scanning process. 7 B. To show the abundant resources to study on. C. To claim Moorfieldss top place among London hospitals. D. To explain the competition between Moorfields and the Biobank. 35. Which one is the best title for the text? A. Eye scanning： a cure for diseases. B. Huge breakthrough in
