Ind
36、iana health officials confirmed the states first death from a vaping-related lung illness, bringing the national toll to three, after two such deaths in Illinois and in Oregon. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced that the number of people in the US sickened with a seve
37、re lung illness linked to vaping(电子水烟) has more than doubled to 450 possible cases in 33 states, including three deaths confirmed in connection with these illnesses and a possible fourth. Many of the patients are teens or young adults. All patients reported using e-cigarettes and many used the devic
38、es to vape marijuana.So far, the cause of the illnesses is unknown: no single vaping device, product or substance has been tied to all of the cases, said Dr. Dana Meaney-Delman, the manager of the CDCs investigation. Officials believe “chemical exposure” is likely to be behind these illnesses, but m
39、uch more information is needed.The CDC announcement coincided with the release of several new reports on vaping-related illnesses. One, published in The New England Journal Of Medicine, describes 53 patients from Wisconsin and Illinois who developed respiratory(呼吸道的) symptoms after vaping. Most of t
40、hese patients were young, male and healthy prior to their illness. Patients had symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing and chest pain, vomiting, fever and weight loss. All of the patients had vaped within the previous three months, and 84 per cent reported vaping marijuana products. The repo
41、rt seems to suggest that vaping-related lung illnesses are a new phenomenon, and not something that simply went undetected in the past. The rate of monthly emergency room visits for severe lung illness in young adults was twice as high in June to August 2019 as the same months in 2018, the study fou
42、nd. The CDC recommends that people consider not using e-cigarettes while the investigation is ongoing, and e-cigarettes should not be used by children or adolescents, young adults, pregnant women or adults who currently dont use tobacco products.58. Why does the author consider the vaping-related lu
43、ng illnesses mysterious?A. Many suspected cases and deaths have arisen all of a sudden.B. No specific device or chemical has been confirmed in connection.C. There is no cure for the disease and the victims may well bitterly die.D. Such cases and deaths are distributed in states distant from each oth

The vaping-related lung disease is totally arbitrary and out of control.C. There may exist a close bond between the illness and
45、vaping experience.D. Officials from CDC and authors of the reports have figured out the causes.60. What is the best title for this passage?A. Alarm at Vaping DevicesB. Dangers of Lung DiseasesC.

46、thing, it would be to appreciate the summer holidays more. It doesnt matter how beautiful the weather is if the only time you get to experience it is on a 15-minute lunch break. When I worked full-time in an office, I would feel the pain of this as colleagues with kids jetted off for a summer break
47、and I was left to work. I felt as though my life came second to theirs, but Ive come to realize this time was actually a gift. Let me explain. So much of our working week finds us rushing to meet deadlines and please bosses. We have a long list of things that have to be achieved and we can get so lo
48、st in all of these that we forget to do the other things that can boost both our careers and productivity. The summertime, however, sees managers on holiday and an attitude of “nothing will get decided on until September”, which means this is the perfect time to focus on you. The main thing Ive lear
49、ned over my years of working is to use this period to recharge, even if youre not actually on holiday. I vividly remember complaining to a friend once of being bored during August. After shed rolled her eyes at this non-problem, she suggested that perhaps this time was slow because I was supposed to
50、 be focusing on something other than work. I could leave on time and have life outside of the office. Making time to see my friends or finally seeing the exhibitions Id been putting off for months recharged me, and when the break ended, I was ready for it. So much of our working life is about relati
51、onships, yet we sacrifice these to raise productivity. It may be more beneficial to a work relationship to take a colleague for a coffee, but its quicker to fire off an email, so we do that. In the summer, suggesting a walk in the sunshine, while you talk about how to deal with that tricky client, s
52、uddenly seems like the best way to work. The-hopefully-warm weather makes all of us unreserved, so use this to your advantage. Are there people youve really wanted to meet but theyve always been too busy? And finally, if you already know that, come September, youre going to start pushing for that pa
53、y rise or new job you promised yourself, then now is the time to ensure that youve got all the evidence to make your case. Offering to be the point of contact for projects when your boss is away can give you the experience you need to take the next step. Use the summer wisely and, by the end of it,
54、youll be the employee with a new plan of action and a contacts book filled with new best friends. 61. The reason why the author counts as summer break as a gift is that _.A. it provides a chance to escape from loads of heavy workB. much attention can be paid to oneself and self-refreshmentC. it is a
55、 perfect time to jet off and spend holidays with kidsD. work can be postponed to September for absence of managers62. What does the underlined sword “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The exhibition.B. The experience.C. The break. D. The work.63. Where would the sentence “Summer brings out everyones so
56、cial side.” best fit?A. B. C. D. 64. According to the author, what is the benefit of being “the point of contact for projects”?A. Filling in the gap colleagues have left.B. Catching up on pleasures you have missed.C. Recharging yourself with much energy.D. Developing new friendships and action plans
57、.DDetective fiction is something that gained popularity comparatively later than all other genres in literature. There might be some works that existed in historic time that could now be identified as detective fiction, but the works that were introduced solely as this genre began with the writings
58、of Edgar Allan Poe and Wilkie Collins. Of course, today when we talk about detective fictions, the works of Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie come foremost. Their stories are those that have given an edge to this genre due to its popularity.Being a passionate reader of Doyle and Christie, I wou
59、ld like to draw a comparison between the styles used by Doyle in Sherlock series and Christie in her mystery thrillers. Both of them use a specific pattern for their detective stories. Doyle mostly develops the story from a helpless clients visit to 221B Baker Street. All the accounts of the cases a
60、re narrated by Watson except two pieces. Christies works in a way look completely different as the stories and settings are varied and quite unique. But we can always see that there is a basic formula in her works. A murder happens and all the characters in the plot, mostly people around the victim,
61、 have something to be suspected of, some secrets that they hold back, all of which are set up to totally confuse the reader.Christies novels are all about “who is the murderer”, but while reading Sherlock a reader is more interested in knowing how Sherlock finds the criminal. It is the method Sherlo
62、ck employs to deduce the facts and to connect the dots that readers await to know. This can be understood just by thinking how every Sherlock reader waits for that part where Sherlock explains the facts to Watson who shares the readers ignorance. When we reach the same crucial point in Christies wor
63、ks, what our eyes search for is the namethe name of the murderer. All the explanations, logic and reasoning interest us only later. Christie has used various types of narrative techniques in different novels. There has been a set of novels where there is omniscient narration(叙述者全知), others with Hast
64、ings (Hercule Poirots assistant) as the narrator, and even some in first-person narrative. She introduced many detectives, Poirot being the most popular. On the other hand, Doyle had only Sherlock as detective in his novels and stories. But he had started a new series portraying a new character “Pro
65、fessor Challenger” which didnt become as popular as Sherlock series.Both the writers worked on the principles of science, logic and psychology. When compared, Sherlock stories seem more realistic as they are not as dramatic as Christies novels. But the element of psychology is more explored by Chris
66、tie. Often her detective believes in sitting in a chair and thinking to solve the mystery, rather than running around collecting clues. It is because her detectives work by analyzing the hidden psychology rather than explicit actions. Sherlock is an active detective who works hard in finding clues,
67、wouldnt mind devising a little drama or an act of disguise(伪装) for it.Both of them have created logically credible stories, but somewhere or other Sherlock ones are close to life, because they portray not only murder but also seemingly simple human issues. Christies works are more engaging, but the
68、act of making up the plotthe purposeful concealing and revealingis somewhere visible. But it is undeniable that she never fails to entertain her readers. While reading Sherlock, we forget Doyle and our whole attention is on Sherlock, and sometimes we end up feeling he is a real individual rather tha
69、n a fictional character. But in Christies works somehow, we feel its she who is working, rather than Poirot, which is why she became the “queen of crime” and not her characters. Thus, in a way Agatha Christie outshines her characters and Sherlock Holmes outshines his creator. But both ways Doyle and
70、 Christie gifted their fans excellent detective stories to involve themselves in and enjoy all their life.65. In terms of detective fictions, Doyle and Christie are foremost mentioned because _.A. they are considered as the founding fathers of detective fictionsB. they worked together and created ma
71、ny famous detective figuresC. it is Doyle and Christie that made detective fictions well receivedD. it is their works that made detective fictions superior to other genres66. Which of the following may be typical Christies works?A. Novels with a specific opening pattern with a focus on deducing fact
72、s.B. Thrillers with varied and unique settings to make plots more confusing.C. Fictions in which there is a fixed character responsible for unfolding the story.D. Detective stories in which victims and suspects are closely related to the detective.67. When reaching crucial points in Christies works,
73、 readers tend to give priority to _.A. the details of the crime B. the motive behind the crimeC. the personality of the criminal D. the identity of the criminal68. A new character “Professor Challenger” brought about _.A. a disappointment for Conan Doyle B. another hit with detective fansC. an abrup
74、t decline in Sherlocks appeal D. an inspiration for Agatha Christie69. How do Doyle and Christie make their stories reasonable?A. They refused to display mystery in the stories.B. They stuck to first-person narrative techniques.C. They applied knowledge of different fields.D. They included detailed
75、accounts of explicit actions.70. What kind of detective may Hercule Poirot be?A. One who is good at discovering secrets in human mind.B. One who is active in searching for and connecting clues.C. One who lays emphasis on both actions and psychology.D. One who sometimes plays tricks and even cheats s

They protect your health as much as quitting smoking and a great deal more than exercising.“Strong social relationships support mental health, and that t
77、ies into better immune function, reduced stress and less cardiovascular activation,” says Dr. Debra Umberson, a sociologist at the University of Texas, Austin. Umberson says emotional support is just one of a dozen ways friends may safeguard your health and extend your life.However, unfortunately ma
78、ny of us dont have enough of them. According to data from the General Social Survey, the number of Americans who say they have no close friends has roughly tripled(三倍) in recent decades. “Zero” is also the most common response when people are asked how many confidants(知己,密友) they have. And adult men
79、 seem to be especially bad at keeping and cultivating friendships.That may seem strange in the era of Facebook, Twitter and boundless digital connectivity. But the “friends” orbiting at the farthest reaches of your digital galaxy arent the ones that matter when it comes to your health and happiness.
80、The vital friendships the friends you hug and laugh and cry with are the ones who have the greatest impact on your health and happiness. You need between three and five of them for the best wellbeing, suggests research from Dr. Robin Dunbar, an evolutionary psychologist at the University of Oxford.D
81、unbar recognized that the size of a humans social network might be limited by the size of a certain part of the human brain called the neocortex, a critical site for higher brain functions. After some complicated study, he came up with a figure now known as “Dunbars number”, the approximate size of
82、a persons social circle. Dunbars research shows that your brain cant hold a close connection with more than 150. Within that group, your closest 15 relationships including family members or relatives seem to be most crucial when it comes to your mental and physical health.But thats not to say a brot
83、her or sister offers you the same benefits as a close friend, Dunbar says. While your relatives are more likely to be there for you when you need help, your good friends tend to fire up your nervous system and cause the release of feel-good neuropeptides called endorphins. Whether youre laughing wit
84、h your friend or feeling him or her touch your shoulder in sympathy, the resulting rush of endorphins seems to “tune” up your immune system, protecting you from disease, Dunbar explains.So yes, for the sake of your health, you need friends ideally the really close kind you see face-to-face on a regu
85、lar basis. ThemeFriends can provide emotional support, which is 71 to our mental and physical health.Present situation of friendshipAlthough digitally 72 with each other, many of us still dont have enough of strong social relationships. American people without close friends have 73 by three times in
86、 recent decades. It is common for people to have 74 confidants. Adult men in 75 are inferior in keeping and cultivating friendships.Dr. RobinDunbars related research To ensure your wellbeing, you need between three and five friends who can 76 your joy and sorrow. Humans social network might 77 on th

Different from relatives, good friends are likely to produce endorphins to make you happy and 79 to disease.ConclusionIt is much better to have a close friend who you
