12．Suck in capital city traffic with no clear way to avoid the cars around is，an Oklahoma ambulance was at the mercy of is surrounding rush-hour drivers as I tried to make its way to a series of emergency calls on Saturday-one involving a young girl with cancer，who had traveled all the way from London for her treatment.
That was until a certain 6-foot-9-inch do-gooder drove his car through the lanes and skillfully placed it so that the ambulance would be freed from the web of vehicles：Kevin Durant，a famous NBA player.
"All of a sudden，I see a silver sports car making way for us to get through and guide all the Traffic，" Radford，a doctor on the ambulance，said. "Once we actually get through all the traffic，this silver car comes over to the side and the driver waves to us."
According to Radford，Durant's kindness led the doctors to make it to their second emergency call on time，too，enabling that young girl with cancer to get to her treatment safe and sound.For his part，Durant shied away from being regarded as a hero for his actions，saying what he did was entirely ordinary.
"I just thought it was SO cool that someone like Durant would take the time to assist an ambulance getting to an emergency call，" Radford said. "Everything he did was amazing；Durant is the hometown hero."
For his heroism，Durant will be honored by the Oklahoma Emergency Medical Services Authority（OEMSA） as an "Everyday Hero"，an award that's given out four times a year.
"Durant's actions are exactly how we think citizens should help doctors reach their calls for emergencies.He is a great example of doing one's part to help those in need，and he handled it with such modesty，" an OEMSA representative said.

13．Paired up in the right setting，dogs and horses can have their fair share of fun-at times even playing together and mimicking（模仿）each other's facial expressions，new research suggests.These findings，published in the journal Behavioural Processes，mark the first example of so-called rapid facial mimicry occurring between play partners of different species，and indicate the existence of a universal language of play.Though the purpose behind play remains unclear，scientists believe the behavior arises to help animals improve hunting and social skills，relieve stress or develop relationship with each other，study author Elisabetta Palagi says，an animal behaviorist at the University of Pisa in Italy.
Learning more about the contexts in which different animals play around-especially across branches of the tree of life-could tell researchers a lot about play's origins and evolution .But apart from a handful of studies featuring humans and their pets，scientists haven't had many chances to analyze examples of interspecies（种间）play.
In 2018，when someone sent Palagi a YouTube video featuring a dog and a horse playing together，she took the chance to research furjye.air.The two species，she noted early on，were especially good research objects of interspecies friendship，because they had both been shown to recognize facial expressions in other animals.
Putting together a team of research students，Palagi began to collect and analyze hundreds of other videos with dogs and horses partnering in play.Only 20 videos ended up meeting the team's requirements：showing animals freely playing on their own，without human interference（干扰），for at least 30 seconds.
Several common themes quickly arose.When playing，dogs and horses often mirrored each other's moves，jumping and pushing at each other.They also rolled on their backs and showed their throats and stomachs-a strong sign that they were at ease and even communicating their friendly intentions .Despite millions of years of evolution between them，the two species had found common ground for the only purpose of fun，said Palagi.
The two animals also frequently copied each other's facial expressions，both using the relaxed，open mouths-behavior that had never been noted between a pair of animals of different species.Horses and dogs may look and behave in extremely different ways，says Barbara Smuts，a behavioral ecologist at the University of Michigan who wasn't involved in the study.But fun is perhaps a language that doesn't need to be taught.Two very dissimilar animals，Smuts says，can still discuss how to play in a way that's comfortable for both.
（1）What do scientists find about dogs and horses？
A．They share similar facial expressions.
B．They can build up a lasting relationship.
C．They often share hunting and social skills.
D．They have a special way to communicate.
（2）How did Elisabetta Palagi study dogs and horses further？
A．By playing with dogs and horses together.
B．By pairing up dogs and horses in a setting.
C．By watching videos showing their play scene.
D．By recording their play for 30 seconds every day.
（3）What does the underlined part "at ease" in Paragraph 5 most probably mean？
A．Feeling relaxed.
B．Looking similar.
C．Getting smart.
D．Turning sociable.
（4）What is the significance of the study？
A．It can help humans get along with animals.
B．It studies interspecies play for the first time.
C．It explains animals' way of communicating.
D．It analyzes animals' facial expressions in detail.组卷：15引用：2难度：0.7 -
14．I got my COVID-19 vaccination （接种疫苗） last Thursday at Strong Memorial Hospital.The University emailed six messages to me，telling me that I was able to schedule a vaccine appointment.To get rid of my needle fear，I turned to Johnson & Johnson's to avoid a second appointment and a second injection（注射）.
Getting the vaccine was probably the easiest medical appointment I've ever had.Once I was inside，it took me about five minutes to show someone my ID and wait in line.I was in and out of my appointment in less than 30 minutes.
That night，however，the vaccine absolutely kicked my ass.I've heard a variety of stories from different people about the strong reactions，but I was having a bad time.For the next 24 hours，I was achy，had a slight fever，and suffered a pounding headache.
I felt terrible.But I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Here are some reasons，both selfish and selfless，why you should get vaccinated as soon as possible.
Like everyone else，you probably preferred normal college life over what it's been like for the past year.You probably enjoyed hanging out with friends，without having to worry about masks.
Getting vaccinated saves lives.Even the WHO does not know what percentage of the population needs to be vaccinated in order to achieve herd immunity （群体免疫） against COVID-19.But in the case of other common viruses，we typically need around 93% to 95% of the population to be vaccinated，meaning that people who are able to get the vaccine have a duty to do so.
I have every reason to believe that I don't need the vaccine.I'm a healthy young adult and I don't have a job that puts me at a high risk，nor do I have any duties that require my in-person presence.Despite all that，I still got the vaccine.
There is no excuse.Get vaccinated.
（1）Why did the author choose Johnson & Johnson's？
A．Because the author was informed by the university.
B．Because the author was able to get the vaccine.
C．Because the author was so afraid of needles.
D．Because the author wanted to challenge himself.
（2）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean？
A．The author's ass ached because of the vaccine.
B．The author was dying from a serious reaction.
C．The author was safe and sound like many people.
D．The author suffered a lot from the vaccination.
（3）What can we learn from the passage？
A．It took the author quite a long time to get the vaccine.
B．It is unnecessary for healthy adults to get vaccinated.
C．Getting vaccination is an effective way to beat COVID-19.
D．The author's job increases the possibility of catching the virus.
（4）What is the author's purpose of writing the passage？
A．To point out the terrible situation of COVID-19 at present.
B．To call on people to get vaccinated without any excuse.
C．To express the author's appreciation for getting vaccinated.
D．To share an unforgettable experience of getting vaccinated.组卷：6引用：2难度：0.7

43．My daughter Holly was confused as she opened the birthday present from her best friend，Susan—it was a twelve-by-eight inch dark blue carpet.Her"thanks"was hardly heard as Holly tried hard not to show her disappointment.
The next morning，I carried a kitchen rubbish bag outside only to find Susan's carpet lying there.I immediately reached in and pulled it out of the rubbish can.After giving it a brushing，I brought it into the house and put it in the cupboard.
Before Holly's birthday，Susan had been a regular visitor in our home.But suddenly I realized that it had been nearly three weeks since we'd heard the mention of Susan's name.I missed her warm smile very much.
"Susan invited us to go to her house after school tomorrow."Holly said as soon as she arrived from school.From her voice，I sensed she was pleased with the invitation.
We were traveling along the winding country road that led to her house the following day.On the way Susan talked nervously about her foster mom（养母） and the seventeen cats they had taken in and cared for.
When we came to a stop，Susan's foster mom-who introduced herself as Glenda--gave us a warm welcome.Susan guided us through the house She proudly showed us her room，which was only decorated with some old furniture.
I followed Susan's foster mom，Glenda，into the kitchen.After clearing a small area，Glenda gave us each a cup of black coffee with her trembling hand.Then she began to relax as we drank our coffee and chatted about her cats.
Her eyes shone as she showed her love for Susan.But her expression turned blue when she referred to the girl's past.Instantly，I came to respect this warmhearted woman who had opened her home to a younger girl and tried hard to make a difference in her life.
