The accident left him unable to move from the chest down. During his recovery, he suffered a stroke that made his right arm useless. Once a promising guitarist, Dan, now 25, lives with his parents and requires aroundtheclock care that costs nearly $300,000 a year. After the accident, a friend of him started the Help Dan Black Fund (基金) to cover some of Dan's medical expenses. Dan learned about an experimental stem cell (干细胞) treatment in China that could enable him to walk again. After four years, donations to help Dan Black totaled nearly $30,000.‎ One day, in 2013, a news story caught the eye of Dan's mother, Michacla, who then shared the story with her son. The story featured a fiveyearold boy named Brecon Vaughan. He had a rare form of disease and never walked by himself. The boy's family had created a website with which to raise nearly $100,000 needed for a trip to the St. Louis Children's Hospital, where treatment was offered that could help Brecon walk. Only half the amount had been raised, said the report.‎ Dan deliberated. Then, after considering that his own dream of walking could be - 18 -‎ ‎ years away, he donated his $30,000 to Brecon's cause.“I know how it feels to walk. Brecon doesn't. He needs it much more than I do.” Dan told a newspaper.‎ Dan's generosity received a great deal of attention, and contributions started pouring in to the Vaughan website. The family soon exceeded their fundraising goal. They've promised to give the extra funds, about $17,000, to the Tree of Hope charity, which helps sick children in the United Kingdom find specialized medical help. In October, Brecon and his family traveled to St. Louis to begin treatment. “What Dan did is great.” Brecon's mother said, “It is an extraordinary gift.”‎ ‎4．What do we know about Dan Black?‎ A．He promised to be a guitarist.‎ B．He lost his right arm in an accident.‎ C．He created a website to collect money.‎ D．He donated his money from his need.‎ ‎5．What does the underlined word “exceeded” in the last paragraph mean?‎ ‎　‎ A．Went beyond.

No, what Annie remembers most are the horrible fights leading up to the announcement about the divorce which was, as turned out, despite her parents' anxiety about telling her, “not that big of a deal”. “I already knew - 18 -‎ ‎ they were not getting along well，” Annie says. “Every night after I went to bed, I would hear my parents fighting. It made me really unhappy. When they finally decided to get a divorce, all that stopped.”‎ Annie's experience is more common than you might think, and there is a great deal of evidence to suggest that“staying together for the sake of the children” is not what should be encouraged, and may do more harm than good. According to psychologist Lynn Martingdale, hearing their parents arguing is often more stressful for children than separation and divorce, and if you think that your children don't know that there's trouble in family, then you're kidding yourself. The home life of children whose parents have an unhappy marriage is often far from ideal, and what's worse, parents will compound the problem by taking their unhappiness out on the children.‎ The Center for Moving Forward conducted a study in 2014 in which they followed 25 families whose parents had been in marriage counseling. After tracking these families for 5 years, they found that the children of the parents who eventually got divorced were not worse off than the children of those who remained together, and in some cases far better. The study took the social and the children's general sense of wellbeing into consideration.‎ ‎8．Why was Annie really unhappy according to Paragraph 1?‎ A．Because her parents fought every night.‎ B．Because her parents finally got divorced.‎ C．Because her parents decided to abandon her.‎ D．Because her parents got along badly with her.‎ ‎9．Which statement may psychologist Lynn Martingdale agree with?‎ A．Separation and divorce will hurt the children most.‎ B．Keeping an unhappy marriage hurts children more.‎ C．Children can't understand their parents' marriage well.‎ D．Children can't feel the unhappiness from their parents.‎ ‎10．What's the function of the last paragraph in the passage?‎ A．To give an example of divorce.‎ B．To support Annie's correct answer.‎ C．To further clear the author's viewpoint.‎ D．To highlight the importance of the study.‎ ‎11．What is the best title for the passage?‎ A．Divorce Is Good for Children - 18 -‎ B．Divorce Is Not the Worst Thing C．Fighting Is Often Stressful D．Staying Together Is for Children Only D ‎[2019·郑州第二次质量预测]Scientists think that growing garden grass could be the secret to solving our energy needs, and we may soon be able to replace our gasoline with “grassoline”．‎ The team, including experts from Cardiff University in Wales, has shown that hydrogen can be taken from grass in useful amounts with the help of sunlight and a cheap catalyst — something that speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up.‎ It is the first time that this has been shown and it could lead to a sustainable way of making hydrogen, reported Asian News International. This could be an important kind of renewable energy because it is high in energy and it does not give out harmful gases when it is burned.‎ Study coauthor Michael Bowker said，“This is really a green source of energy. Hydrogen is seen as an important future energy carrier as the world moves from fossil fuels to renewable energy, and our research has shown that even garden grass could be a good way of getting it.”‎ Cellulose (纤维素), which is a key part of plants and the biopolymer found in the largest numbers on the earth, could be a great source of hydrogen.‎ In their study, the team looked at the possibility of getting hydrogen from cellulose using sunlight and a simple catalyst.‎ This is called photocatalysis (光催化作用) and in it, the sunlight starts the catalyst, which then makes cellulose and water into hydrogen. The researchers studied the effectiveness of three metalbased catalysts, of which nickel (镍) especially interested the researchers, as it is a much more common metal than gold and palladium and it saves more money.‎ According to Bowker, producing hydrogen from cellulose using photocatalysis has not been studied in detail. The team's research shows that large amounts of hydrogen can be produced using this method with the help of a bit of sunlight and a cheap catalyst.‎ The study shows that it is effective to use real grass taken from a garden.“This is important as it avoids the need to separate and clean up cellulose, which can be - 18 -‎ ‎ both difficult and costly，” said Bowker.‎ ‎12．What are needed to get hydrogen from grass?‎ A．A catalyst and palladium.‎ B．Water and cellulose.‎ C．Sunlight and a biopolymer.‎ D．Sunlight and a catalyst.‎ ‎13．Why is the new way of making hydrogen considered significant?‎ A．It is cheap, green and sustainable.‎ B．It is the best to produce the renewable energy.‎ C．It is more productive and efficient than other methods.‎ D．It can replace the way to make fossil fuels completely.‎ ‎14．Why does nickel interest the researchers in making hydrogen from cellulose?‎ A．It can produce the largest amount of hydrogen.‎ B．It can avoid separating and cleaning up cellulose.‎ C．It is more common than other metals and costs less.‎ D．It works quicker than other metals during photocatalysis.‎ ‎15．What does the author intend to tell us mainly in this passage?‎ A．Catalysts that could be taken from grass.‎ B．A new way of making hydrogen from cellulose.‎ C．The potential of hydrogen as a renewable energy.‎ D．The connection between hydrogen and photocatalysis.‎ 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎[2020·福建质量检查]Some people put their bicycles away once they learn how to drive a car.
