2． As the lyrics to Taylor Swift's hit song "Bad Blood" go： "Cause，baby，now we got bad blood.You know it used to be mad love." It's a song about falling out of friendship，but to 14-year-old Hallie Barnard，who was born with a rare blood disorder，the song holds a much deeper meaning.
At just 15 months old，Barnard was diagnosed （诊断） with Diamon Blackfin Anemia，or DBA，and she spent most of her life in and out of the hospital.The Swiftie said she relied on the singer to bring her joy.
The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant （骨髓移植） and Barnard was desperate for one.But she knew thousands of other patients are，too.So，a few years ago，she decided to do something about it，creating her own foundation：Hallie's Heroes. "It started selfishly as just trying to save my life，but then we realized there were so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant，" she said. "So，so far we've tested 8，000 people and found over 300 matches."
After a 9-year wait，Barnard got her own match — through her own foundation.But more obstacles stood between her and normal life as a kid.The blood disorder led to a cancer diagnosis：osteosarcoma.She received surgery to cut the cancer out of her leg at MD Anderson in Houston.
The recovery was difficult，but Hallie said she stayed hopeful. "My survival instinct （本能） just kicked in.I was trying to do anything that I could to survive.So，of course，it was scary but in my mind，I was just thinking that I wanted to be at my sister's future weddings.I wanted to play games and run again，" she said.
Her survival instinct — combined with Taylor Swift-helped her through her operation，where doctors cut her cancer out，and reattached her foot and ankle to her upper leg to work as a knee.
（1）Why does the author mention Taylor Swift's song "Bad Blood"？
A．To stress the power of music.

D．To state Taylor Swift's song is a hit.

C．To help other children with DBA．

（3）Which of the following can best describe Hallie Barnard？

B．Hard-working and patient.
C．Kind and optimistic.
D．Outgoing and helpful.
（4）What's the best title for the text？
A．Bad Blood Inspired a Little Girl
B．Hallie's Heroes：a Useful Foundation
C．Taylor Swift：a Popular Singer with Teens
D．A Cancer Survivor Helped Others Find Matches组卷：1引用：5难度：0.3 -
3． Answers may only feel like they're on the tip of your tongue.Sometimes you know there's just the right word for something，but your brain can't find it.That depressing feeling is called the tip-of-the-tongue （TOT） state — and for decades psychologists assumed it was caused by a partial recollection of the answer.But new research suggests this experience may be largely an illusion （错觉）.Being sure you know something doesn't mean you actually do.
In a series of experiments，college students attempted to answer 80 general knowledge questions with one-word answers.If they didn't provide a correct answer，they were asked if they felt like the answer was on the tip of their tongue and to provide partial information such as its first letter，its number of syllables （音节），or what it sounded like.The team found that people in a TOT state were more likely to volunteer partial information — doing so five times as often in one experiment.
But that information tended to be wrong.Guesses at sounds and syllable counts were no more likely to be right in a TOT state than otherwise.Averaged across several experiments，first-letter guesses were only slightly more likely to match the correct answer （roughly 11 versus 8 percent）.Yet participants said they thought their guess was correct 58 percent of the time while in TOT states versus 7 percent otherwise.
Previous research has shown that TOT states are not completely illusory — people better recognize correct multiple-choice answers following such states （55 versus 42 percent） — but this work indicates that we can't fully trust jye.aim.The evidence suggests that instead of partial recollection leading to a TOT state，a reverse （相反的） process may be taking place：Something causes the feeling，which then motivates people to search their memories.
"One possibility is that people detect familiarity with the question itself，" says the study's senior author Anne Cleary，a psychologist at Colorado State University. "It may be signaling： 'something relevant is here in memory — let's do a search.'"
（1）What does the new study find about TOT feeling？
A．It may be an illusion.
B．It is caused by a partial memory.
C．It is a feeling of failure in giving answers.
D．It is a state of remembering anything with difficulty.
（2）What did the college students do in the experiments？
A．They answered 80 multiple-choice questions.
B．They provided partial information on 80 questions.
C．They answered 80 questions with one-word answers.
D．They guessed the answers according to the first letter.
（3）What is the mechanism behind the TOT experience according to Anne Cleary？
A．TOT experience is completely illusory.
B．People recall partial answers and feel frustrated.
C．People's born ability helps them to guess the answers.
D．People discover something familiar and search their memories.
（4）In which section of a newspaper can we probably find the text？
A．Entertainment.
B．Science.
C．Literature.
D．Lifestyle.组卷：1引用：2难度：0.3

9．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day Officer Jackson and Steve were discussing a serious case when they were informed of a disturbance （骚乱） in the nearby subway.So，they walked out of the station and got into their car.
The two officers had expected they'd have to deal with an annoying beggar troubling the passers-by for money.But when they arrived at the crime scene，they were shocked at the beggar's appearance.The man had tears in his eyes and was sitting on the subway stairs，looking untidy and tired.
"Excuse me，sir，" Officer Jackson said. "You can't stay here，nor can you bother the people to give you money.You have to leave this place."
"Look，officers，" the man sighed. "I'm sorry.I didn't mean to cause any trouble，okay？I lost my cane （拐杖），and I can't walk without it.I wanted a few cents so I could get myself something to eat."
The two officers exchanged looks，knowing the man wasn't a disturbance but someone who really needed their help.So they promised to get him food，buy him a cane，and drop him home.
After doing that，the officers drove to the beggar's home，only to discover he had no home at all.He was just wandering in the streets and living off the leftovers he managed to find.
The poor man said his name was Eugene.When he was working at a skyscraper construction site，he was injured and became disabled，losing his ability to walk.Unfortunately，his disability forbade him from doing physical labor，and he wasn't well-educated to find a desk job，so he remained jobless.Because he couldn't provide for his family，his wife and children left him. "I don't have any hopes of changing my destiny （命运），officers，" the man said.
But Officer Jackson wanted Eugene to change his life. "You're still young，" he said.
"You can't lose hope so soon.He brought him something warm to eat，helped him take a shower，and gave him his warm boots.After his work，Officer Jackson drove Eugene to a shelter for the homeless and left.

（1）续写词数应为150左右；
