3、y says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?”“We dont sell a miracle here, child. Im sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.“Listen, if it isnt enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of miracle do
4、es your brother need?”“I dont know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “Hes really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy cant pay for it, so Ive brought all my money.”“How much do you have?” asked the man.“$1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.“Well, what luck
5、,” smiled the man. “$1.11, the price of a miracle for your little brother.”He took up the girls hand and said, “Take me to your house. I want to see your brother. Lets see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was succe
6、ssful and it wasnt long before Andrew was home again.How much did the miracle cost?1In the eye of the little girl, a miracle might be _.Asomething interesting Bsomething beautifulCsome wonderful medicine Dsome good food2The little girl said again and again “.I can try and get some more.” That shows

8、ndrew was in fact not so sick as they had thought BGetting stitched (缝合) up by Dr. Robot may one day become a reality. Scientists have created a robotic system which did operations on living animals without a real doctor pulling the strings(线n.). Much like engineers are designing self-driving cars,
9、the medical research is part of a move toward autonomous surgical robots, removing the surgeons hands from certain tasks that a machine might perform all by itself.Doctors wouldnt leave the bedside. Theyre supposed to watch. Plus theyd handle the rest of the surgery. In small tests using pigs, the r
10、obotic arm performed at least as well, and in some cases a bit better, as some competing surgeons in stitching together intestinal (肠的) tissue. The purpose wasnt to replace surgeons, said Dr. Kim who led the project.If you have an intelligent tool that works with a surgeon, can it improve the outcom
11、e? Thats what we have done.If youve heard about machines like the popular Da Vinci system, you might think robots have already started operating. Not really. Today many hospitals offer robot-assisted surgery where surgeons use the machinery as tools that they control by hand to operate through tiny
12、openings in the body. But robot-assisted surgery has been controversial, as some studies have shown it can bring higher costs without better outcomes.Kims team, the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation, invented a new STAR (Smart TissueAutonomous Robot) system which worked sort o
13、f like a programmable sewing machine. They added sensors to help guide each stitch and tell how tightly to pull. But the approach wasnt perfect. In the operations on the living animals, the robot took much longer and made a few stitching mistakes while the surgeon sewing by hand made none. Kim said
14、the robot can be sped up. He hoped to begin human studies in two or three years.4. Whats the best title for the text?A. A New Robotic SystemB. A New-style Way of StitchingC. The Newly-designed Driverless VehiclesD. Robot Surgeons One Step Closer to Reality5. Why are people against using robots in su
15、rgery?A. They can be out of control.B. They will take shorter time. C. They may be expensive to use.D. They are likely to cause great pain.6. What can we infer from the text?A. Dr. Robot can take the place of surgeons.B. Dr. Robot will be improved.C. Dr. Robot has been tested on human trials.D. Dr.
16、Robot can free doctors hands in the operation.C Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He ca
17、n get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play, catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the
18、Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, extra learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing basebal
19、l long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forg
20、et rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a
21、 student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.7What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?APeople remember well what they learn
22、ed in childhood.BChildren have a better memory than grown-ups.CPoem reading is a good way to learn words.DStories for children are easy to remember. 8The author explains the law of overlearning by _.Apresenting research findingsBsetting down general rulesCmaking a comparisonDusing examples9What does
23、 the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?ACommonly accepted rulesBThe multiplication tablesCThings easily forgottenDSchool subjects10What is the authors opinion on cramming ?AIts helpful only in a limited way.BIt leads to failure in college exams.CIts possible to result in poor memory.DIt increases

The reasons might lie in communication and the importance of a scheduled mealtime.Dr Barbara Fiese said, “Children, whose f
25、amilies have a 20-minute meal over four times a week, weigh lighter than kids who leave the table after15 to 17 minutes. Over time, 12 .”Researchers studied 200 family mealtimes, testing the influences of mealtime habits of families with children in primary school. They found that families, who said
26、 that shared mealtimes were an important part of family life and had special meaning for them, 13 . Similarly, families who talked more together and communicated more positively during the meal, were more likely to have healthy-weight children. So, 14 . Families in poorer US neighborhoods faced more
27、 problems, including poor chances of getting healthy food. But even so, 15 .
