I remember going to the British Museum one day to read up the treatment for some slight illness-hay fever, I thought it was. I got down the book, and read all I came to read: and then, I began to casually study diseases generally. Turning over the pages, I came to typhoid fever, read the symptoms and discovered that I had it. I was wondering what else I had got, and St. Vitus's Dance turned up, which I thought I also had. So I determined to go through it thoroughly and so started alphabetically（照字母顺序排列的）：ague I had， just in the acute stage. Cholera I had，with severe complications； and diphtheria I seemed to have been born with.

I sat and considered. What an interesting case I must be from a medical point of view! What a learning material I should be to a medical class! Students would have no need to “walk the hospitals", if they had me. I was a hospital in myself. All they need do would be to walk around me, and, after that, take their diploma!

I went to my doctor, who is an old friend of mine. I thought I would do him a good turn by going to him now. “What a doctor wants”, I said, “is practice. He will get more practice out of me than out of 1,700 of his ordinary, commonplace patients, with only one or two diseases each.” He said:  “Well, what's the matter with you?” I said,  “I will not take up your time, with telling you what is the matter with me. But I will tell you what is not the matter with me. I have not got a housemaid＇s knee（髌前囊炎）. Everything else, however, I have got.” And I told him how I came to discover it all.

He felt my pulse, looked at my tongue, and talked about the weather as usual, all for nothing. Then he wrote out a prescription, folded it up and gave it to me, and I put it in my pocket and went out. I did not open it. I took it to the nearest chemist's and handed it in.  The man read it and then handed it back. I read the prescription. It ran:

"beefsteak, every  6 hours.

ten-mile walk every morning.

bed at 11 sharp every night.

And don't stuff up your head with things you don't understand."

24.Why did the author go to the British Museum the other day?

A.To see a doctor.

C.To go to an exhibition.

B.To study medicine.

D.To seek for a treatment.

5.How did the author find himself affected with various “illnesses”?

A. Through a routine check-up.

B.By reading the medical book.

.C.By consulting with experts.

D.Through self-imagination

6.What can we infer from paragraph 2?

A. The writer was put in charge of a hospital.

B.The writer could treat his diseases on his own.

C.The writer was refusing professional medical training.

D.The writer considered himself valuable to medical study.

27.Which of the following can be the main idea of the text?

A.It's never too late to learn.

B.A disease known is half cured.

C.An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

D. Don't trouble troubles until trouble troubles you.

C

The sperm whale（抹香鲸） is an astonishing creature. It’s longer than a semi-truck， weighs more than 90,000 pounds and is the largest member of the toothed whale family. It's known to dive 6, 500 feet in search of food, and to stay down there for longer than an hour at a time.

Perhaps most fantastically, the sperm whale's brain weighs as much as 20 pounds-the biggest of any species on Earth. But when it comes to brains, is size all that matters? There's a lot we don't know about the sperm whale's intelligence because it's difficult to carry out neurological（神经的） testing on such a huge sea mammal. But some clues point to sperm whales being much smarter than we give them credit for.

A 2021 study published in Biology Letters, for example, looked back to 19th-century historical logbooks from whalers. Researchers found that sperm whales were at first easy to catch, but almost immediately, the whales learned how to evade hunters and whaling success dropped by 60 percent. The study suggests that the whales passed information to one another through soundwaves to avoid being caught.

Animals that have big brains usually have a few things in common. They usually live long lives; for example, sperm whales can live for 70 years or longer. Additionally, they're capable of complex behaviors and they tend to be more social. Whales may work together to hunt or communicate in a language all their own.

What＇s more， humans， whales and dolphins all have spindle neurons（纺锤体神经元）in their brains. These nerve cells make us capable of deeper thought，such as reasoning skills, memory, communication and adaptive thinking. And like humans, whales have emotional intelligence, which means they're capable of empathy, grief and sadness. Still, in proportion to our body size, the human brain is bigger than that of the sperm whale.

Yet there's still so much we don't know about how smart sperm whales really are. And just like the whalers of a century ago, we have likely been underestimating marine mammals, whether large or small, for as long as we've known of their existence.

28.Why do people know little about the sperm whale's intelligence?

A. Sperm whales'  big size makes research difficult.

B.It didn't attract scientists' attention until recently.

C.Whalers didn't keep enough records of their hunting.

D.Sperm whales usually stay deep down in the ocean.

D.Trick.29.What does the underlined word “evade” mean in paragraph 3?

29.What does the underlined word “evade” mean in paragraph 3?

A.Track.

B.Avoid.

C.Locate.

30.What conclusion can we draw from paragraph 5?

A.The nerve cells distinguish humans from animals.

B.Sperm whales' brains are bigger than humans according to body size.

C. Spindle neurons make higher intelligence possible.

D.Emotional intelligence is unique to whales and humans.

31.Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A. Sperm Whales Are Astonishingly Smart

B.Sperm Whales Have the Biggest Brain

C.Break the Code of Whale Language

D. Unlock the Mystery of Sea Mammals

D

Imagine driving behind a huge truck shooting clouds of smoke into the air while your new fully electric vehicle cleans up its carbon emissions. This dream may soon be a reality. A team of students in the Netherlands has created an electric car that not only doesn't produce carbon dioxide when driving, but actually pulls it out of the air.

The two-seater sports car was designed and built in less than a year by a team of 32 students at Eindhoven University of Technology. Called “ZEM”,  which stands for “zero emission mobility", the car is equipped with special devices that remove carbon dioxide from the air as it drives. The team says if ZEM is driven about 32,000 kilometers, it can remove 2 kilograms of carbon dioxide from the air. That's not a huge amount. The team calculates that 10 ZEM cars on the road for a year would remove as much carbon dioxide as a typical tree does during that time. However, they also point out that there are over a billion passenger cars in the world that could be using this technology. And if a billion cars were removing carbon dioxide instead of producing it, the result would be huge.

ZEM also has several other innovations that help to make it more capable of being sustained：the car’s frame and panels（面板）are 3D printed to reduce waste； it was built using recycled and recyclable materials; and it can be easily taken apart so that many of its parts can be reused. ZEM's battery is also reusable, and has another handy feature: it can be charged with solar panels on the car's roof-and can even be used to provide power to your house when the car isn't on the road.

According to the statistics, transportation was responsible for over 20% of global carbon dioxide emissions in 2020-and of those emissions, cars were responsible for 41%.The Eindhoven team says its goal is to challenge the electric car industry:  If 32 students can build a car like this in less than a year， then surely car manufacturers（生产商）are expected to adopt these innovations，too.

32.What is special about ZEM?

A. It can end the world's CO2 release.

B.It can raise the truck's CO2 emissions.

C.It can reduce the level of CO2 in the air.

D.It can absorb dirty air as well as CO.

33.Why does the team run the calculation of ZEM in paragraph 2?

A. To demonstrate a wonderful  vision of ZEM cars.

B. To explain how ZEM removes CO, as trees do.

C.To illustrate the ongoing change in car making.

D.To show the influence of ZEM on the car market.

34.What do we know about all the components of ZEM?

A.They are of high quality.

C.They are convenient to print.

B.They are easy to process.

D.They are environmentally friendly.

35.What does the Eindhoven team hope to achieve in the future?

A. Sharp decline in fuel consumption.

B.Mass production of ZEM cars.

C.Big success in beating other car makers.

D. Dramatic changes in transportation.
