When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and jyusly making marks n the walls at hme. In primary schl, I learned t write using chalks. Writing seemed t be anther frm f drawing. I shaped individual letters int repeating lines, which were abstract frms, delightful but meaningless patterns.

Althugh I have enjyed breaking my decades-lng tab abut wrking with il paints, I have discvered I nw prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn int cartns I send t friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxius. This time arund, I can accept my limitatins but keep ging.
Becming a successful painter calls fr being determined. I realised I was always afraid f wanting t much. That dream reminded me that thse fears and desires culd encurage me t take risks and make experiments.

A research team c-led by a physician-scientist at the University f Arizna Cllege f Medicine — Tucsn ’s Sarver Heart Center fund that a grup f artificial heart patients can regenerate heart muscle, which may pen the dr t new ways t treat and perhaps smeday cure heart failure.
Accrding t fficial statistics, heart failure affects nearly 7 millin U.S. adults and is respnsible fr 14% f deaths per year. The nly treatment fr advanced heart failure, ther than a transplant, is pump replacement thrugh an artificial heart, called a left ventricular (心室的) assist device, which can help the heart pump bld.
Sadek led a cllabratin between internatinal experts t investigate whether heart muscles can regenerate. The prject began with tissue frm artificial heart patients prvided by clleagues at the University f Utah Health and Schl f Medicine. The investigatrs fund that patients with artificial hearts regenerated muscle cells at mre than six times the rate f healthy hearts.
“This is the strngest evidence we have, s far, that human heart muscle cells can actually regenerate, which really is exciting, because it strengthens the thught that there is an intrinsic capacity f the human heart t regenerate naturally,” Sadek said. “It als strngly supprts the view that the inability f the heart muscle t ‘rest’ is a majr driver f the heart’s lst ability t regenerate shrtly after birth.” “It’s nt clear why sme patients respnd and sme dn’t, but it’s very clear that the nes wh respnd have the ability t regenerate heart muscle,” he said. “The exciting part nw is t determine hw we can make everyne a respnder, because if yu can, yu can essentially cure heart failure. The beauty f this is that a mechanical heart is nt a therapy we hpe t deliver t ur patients in the future — these devices are tried and true, and we’ve been using them fr years.”
Next, Sadek wants t figure ut why nly abut 25% f patients are “respnders” t artificial hearts, meaning that their heart muscle regenerates.
12. What is the significance f the new finding accrding t the first paragraph?
A. T help dctrs implant artificial hearts in peratins.
B. T assist researchers t develp artificial heart muscle.
C. T help find appraches t treating and even curing heart failure.
D. T assist scientists t find new ways t regenerate heart muscle.
13. What is the nly treatment fr advanced heart failure besides a transplant?
A. T implant an artificial heart t replace pump.
B. T help the heart pump bld thrugh the bdy.
C. T regenerate the heart muscle by taking medicine.
D. T replace patients’ hearts with real human hearts.
14. What des the underlined wrd “intrinsic” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Endangered.B. Acquired.C. Inbrn.D. Implanted.
15. What will Sadek study next?
A. T figure ut why the human heart fails t rest.
B. T develp a new artificial heart fr “respnders”.
C. T find the best cure fr heart failure fr “respnders”.
D. T wrk ut why heart muscle regenerates merely in sme patients.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了一个国际研究团队发现了在心脏衰竭后移植了人工心脏的患者身上发现了心脏肌肉可以再生的证据。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A research team c-led by a physician-scientist at the University f Arizna Cllege f Medicine — Tucsn ’s Sarver Heart Center fund that a grup f artificial heart patients can regenerate heart muscle, which may pen the dr t new ways t treat and perhaps smeday cure heart failure.(由亚利桑那大学医学院图森萨维尔心脏中心的一名内科科学家共同领导的一个研究小组发现，一组人造心脏病人可以再生心肌，这可能为治疗心脏衰竭的新方法打开大门，也许有一天可以治愈心脏衰竭。)”可知，新发现可以帮助找到治疗甚至治愈心力衰竭的方法。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The nly treatment fr advanced heart failure, ther than a transplant, is pump replacement thrugh an artificial heart, called a left ventricular (心室的) assist device, which can help the heart pump bld.(除了移植之外，晚期心力衰竭的唯一治疗方法是通过人工心脏替代泵，称为左心室辅助装置，它可以帮助心脏泵血。)”可知，除了移植之外，晚期心力衰竭的唯一治疗方法是植入人工心脏替代泵。故选A。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段划线单词前文“This is the strngest evidence we have, s far, that human heart muscle cells can actually regenerate, which really is exciting(这是迄今为止我们所拥有的最有力的证据，证明人类心肌细胞实际上可以再生，这真的很令人兴奋)”及后文“the human heart t regenerate naturally(人的心脏自然再生)”可知，人类心脏本身具有再生能力，这是天生自带的能力。因此划线单词的含义是“天生的”。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Next, Sadek wants t figure ut why nly abut 25% f patients are “respnders” t artificial hearts, meaning that their heart muscle regenerates.(接下来，Sadek想弄清楚为什么只有大约25%的病人对人工心脏有“反应”，这意味着他们的心脏肌肉再生了。)”可知，Sadek接下来将研究为什么心肌只在一些病人中再生。故选D。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了关于语言学习应该消除的四个常见的误解。
【16题详解】
根据上文“As smene fluent in 10 languages, I can witness the advantages f bilingualism.(作为一个能流利说 10 种语言的人，我可以见证双语的优势。)”以及下文“Initially, it’s essential t dispel (消除) fur prevalent miscnceptins abut acquiring new languages.(首先，消除关于学习新语言的四个普遍误解是很重要的。)”可知，上文提到了学习外语的好处，后文提到了语言学习要消除的四个常见误解，推测此处需要一个过渡句，讲述学好语言的方法，D选项“We just need t change ur apprach t learning languages.(我们只需要改变我们学习语言的方法。)”符合语境，起到了承上启下的作用，故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“The truth is that it’s nly hard if yu dn’t really want t learn. It takes sme time, but it’s nt really cmplicated. The main things yu need t d are listen and read.(事实是，只有当你真的不想学习时，学习一门新语言才会很难。这需要一些时间，但并不复杂。你需要做的主要事情就是听和读。)”以及下文“I’ve dne it lts f times. Befre yu knw it, yu’ll feel really prud f yurself fr understanding anther language.(我已经做过很多次了。在你意识到之前，你会为自己能理解另一种语言而感到非常自豪。)”可知，此处是在强调学习语言其实很简单。而A选项“Trust me, it’s really straightfrward.(相信我，这真的很简单。)”符合语境，进一步强调了学习语言的简单性。故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“As a matter f fact, whever wants t learn can learn. In Sweden and Hlland mst peple speak mre than ne language. They can’t just all be gifted at languages. Freign athletes in Nrth America usually learn t speak English faster than peple in mre frmal learning envirnments. In language learning it is attitude, nt aptitude, that determines success.(事实上，任何想学习的人都可以学习。在瑞典和荷兰，大多数人会说不止一种语言。他们不可能都有语言天赋。在北美的外国运动员通常比在更正式的学习环境中的人学英语更快。在语言学习中，决定成功的是态度，而不是天赋。)”可知，这一段主要是在反驳“学习语言需要有天赋”这一观点。而C选项“Yu need t have a natural talent fr picking up languages.(你需要有学习语言的天赋。)”符合这一段的主旨，是这一段要反驳的观点，即是要消除的误解之一。故选C项。
【19题详解】
根据小标题“Yu have t live where the language is spken.(你必须住在说这种语言的地方。)”、上文“Sme immigrants t Nrth America never learn t speak mre than halting (结结巴巴的) English.(一些移民到北美的人除了结结巴巴的英语之外，从来没有学会说更多的英语。)”以及下文“In 1968, I learned t speak Mandarin fluently while living in Hng Kng, where few peple spke it.(1968 年，我在香港生活时学会了流利地说普通话，而在香港很少有人说普通话。)”可知，此处是在反驳“必须生活在说这种语言的地方才能学好语言”这一观点，需要一个与上文形成对比的句子。而G选项“On the cntrary, we meet peple in Asian cuntries wh speak fluent English.(相反，我们遇到一些亚洲国家的人，他们能说流利的英语。)”通过对比说明不一定要生活在说某种语言的地方才能学好该语言，符合语境。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Recent brain research has demnstrated that ur brains remain active well int ld age. Adults wh lse their eyesight have t learn a new language, braille. They have already had a wide vcabulary in their native language.(最近的大脑研究表明，我们的大脑在年老时仍然保持活跃。失去视力的成年人必须学习一种新语言——盲文。他们在母语中已经有了广泛的词汇量。)”可知，此处是在说明成年人学习语言的优势。而E选项“Therefre, they are mre likely t be better at the language than kids.(因此，他们比孩子更有可能擅长这门语言。)”与上文构成因果关系，进一步说明了成年人因为有母语词汇量等优势，所以在学习语言上可能比孩子更有优势。故选E项。
