第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该 项涂黑。

A

At my daughter’s presentation ceremony the other day, the school principal reminded the kids of that truth： they could have multiple careers in their lifetimes.

As I lay in bed that evening, I thought about another truth. It’s not just different careers that await each child. It’s a set of completely different lives.

I thought about my own life. Five years ago I was in an unhappy marriage； living in a house that I felt wasn’t mine. I felt anxious most of the time and not in control of my own future.

Now, I live in my own beautiful apartment. My family life is peaceful, filled with laughter and the purrs of our three-year-old cat. I date and have a bunch of new friends—people who didn’t even know me back when I was married. My life is barely recognizable. I created a whole new reality.

I have always known that great change is possible. I am the great grandchild of

Eastern European immigrants who left their countries with few contacts and even less in English. From the villages of Russia and Poland, they created businesses and communities and English-speaking families. Their worlds towards the end of their lives would have barely been like the lives into which they were born.

My own parents moved to a new city with two small children and started a brand new life with a new set of friends. And my grandmother lived two completely different lives. For my entire childhood she was a widow (寡妇）after my grandfather died suddenly at 43. She raised her daughters alone, rarely traveled out of her hometown and cared for her elderly mother. At 68, after being single for 26 years, she surprised us all by falling in love and remarrying. She and Harry socialized endlessly, traveled around the country and spent summers at their second home by the sea. They lived their new adventurous lives well into their nineties.

Life is full of possibilities. It is full of changes. We assume that our lives are linear, leading from birth to death in a straight path. But they can change. They can have sharp twists. They can double back and leap forward and begin another story altogether. 36. How did the author feel in the first marriage? A. Hopeful. B. Scared. C. Helpless. D. Satisfied. 37. What made the family feel unexpected about her grandma? A. Being a widow for a long time. B. Her decision to start a new life. C. Her happy life with Harry. D. Moving out of her hometown. 38. The author took her family for example to show that . A. they experienced hardships and joys B. they were working hard C. they lived a happy life D. they don’t like the new life 39. The best title for this passage might be .

A. Accept life as it is

C. Facing challenges bravely

B. Ever-changing lives D. Never give up B

Liver cancer is one of the most common cancers in China. The number of new cases reached 466,000 in 2015 , and the cancer caused 422,000 deaths that year, accounting for more than half of the world’s liver cancer cases and deaths. The good news is that now scientists in China have identified DNA markers specific to liver (肝脏）cancer, which is expected to greatly improve accuracy in diagnosis (诊断）of it.

Using the new technology, doctors can provide a diagnosis to patients with liver cancer through simple blood tests. That could decrease the chances of a misdiagnosis by more

than half, according to Xu Ruihua, director of the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, who has led the research.

After five years of research, involving over 100 researchers from different institutes, the scientists identified methylation in DNA circulating in the blood that is related to liver cancer. Methylation is an abnormal genetic change that can cause cancer, Xu said. Using samples of DNA from a large group of 1,098 liver cancer patients and 835 healthy people for comparison, they constructed a diagnostic prediction model that showed high sensitivity and accuracy, Xu said in the study, which was published in Nature Materials , a science journal, on Monday.

Currently, a method that is often used for diagnosis of early-stage liver cancer is to

check the level of alpha fetoprotein (甲胎蛋白），which normally remains at very low level in the blood but increases significantly in many liver cancer patients. But the method is ineffective for 40 percent of those who have liver cancer, and 20 percent of patients with no liver cancer are diagnosed as having the disease because rising alpha fetoprotein levels can also be caused by factors such as pregnancy and so on, Xu said.

But using the new method, about 85 percent of cancer patients can be diagnosed and only about 7 percent of patients are misdiagnosed, he said. The new method is more accurate and much simpler and does not require other tests, Xu said. The center has

developed tests for liver cancer based on the research, and they will be used on people with a high risk of the disease at Sun Yat-sen University’s Cancer Hospital, he said. And the tests are expected to be widely available for clinical use by the end of the year, he said. 43. What effect does the new technology produce? A. The death rate of liver cancer will decrease. B. It saves the trouble of the doctors and patients. C. Xu Ruihua will be famous overnight. D. There will be less patients of liver cancer.

44. What is the disadvantage of the current method —checking the level of alpha fetoprotein? A. It is not effective at all. B. It involves high risks. C. It is time-consuming. D. It leads to misdiagnosis sometimes. 45. The researchers could adopt blood test to check liver cancer because of discovery of A. samples in DNA B. methylation in DNA C. alpha fetoprotein D. genetic change 46. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The rate of misdiagnosis is comparatively high with the new method. B. The researchers are optimistic about the new method. C. The research result has been put into practice. D. The blood test is not effective enough.

Reading a book and watching a film are two very different experiences, but expectations can be high when a film of a favourite book is made. There are very many times I have been disappointed by a film of a book I love. So maybe highly regarded books do not always make good films, it is safe to say that great movies may be made from not particularly good books. The source material may be anything from classic novels, short stories, comic books and stage plays, as well as non-fiction such as biography and autobiography, even those written by ghostwriters. All can work well, but why do many adaptations and indeed remakes fail with both cinema audiences and critics?

A key question is obviously how close to the original the film is. Since a typical film is only around two hours long, it becomes a question of what to leave out, and how to script the

dialogue. Sometimes there may be changes to the plot, additions and even different endings to please producers, directors and test audiences. I, like many people, have often left the cinema
