Let’s take a look at some interesting Russian customs. Response to a sneeze “A-CHOO!” The Russian response to a sneeze is, “Good health to you!” This goes back to more superstitious times when a sneeze was believed to separate the soul from the body. To prevent the devil from stealing the soul, the words “bless you” was said to free the soul from the devil and return it to its rightful owner, according to The Guardian. But things get a bit more interesting if you sneeze while someone else is talking. If that happens, the interrupted speaker will often say, “I'm telling the truth.” Don’t whistle Another widespread Russian saying goes, “Do not whistle — there will be no money.” One might think that whistling a song sounds cheerful. However, it’s not recommended for you to show your whistling talents under a roof in front of Russians, or they might express concerns over your bank account, according to The Moscow Times. In Russia, people believe whistling attracts evil spirits. Even more, sailors are careful not to whistle on a ship, for the fear of attracting violent storms. Sauna Russia’s winter is icy cold, with the lowest temperature even reaching -70℃. Visiting a sauna is a popular winter activity for Russians. The first step in a Russian sauna involves washing the body with ice water, followed by high-temperature steam. In order to prevent the hot steam from hurting the scalp （头皮） and ears, they may wear a thick hat. After that, Russians may take a cold bath or swim in icy pools. In a traditional Russian winter sauna, people will run out of the sauna room and roll in the snow to strengthen their bodies. For Russians, it is more than just a sauna. It's a tradition for socializing and keeping friendships strong. 21. Why would the Russian say something good when you sneeze? A. Because they think it is very interesting. B. Because they think you are not telling the truth. C. Because they think the words would separate your soul from the body. D. Because they think the words would save your soul from the devil. 22. In the opinion of Russians, what would happen if you whistle? A. You’ll be cheerful by whistling. B. You’ll draw devils and be badly off. C. Your bank account will be the concern of others. D. Your ship won’t be at the mercy of violent storms. 23. What does “sauna” mean to the Russian? A. It is no more than a popular winter activity. B. It is a chance to demonstrate their bravery. C. It is an opportunity to do physical exercise. D. It is a kind of get-together to remain relationship. B Thirteen years ago, Ava Kaufman was fighting for her life. Now, thanks to a donor heart and successful organ transplant, she’s alive — and saving others. “My life changed on a dime.” said Kaufman, who was a professional dancer and black belt in taekwondo （跆拳道） when an autoimmune disease went undiagnosed and she ended up on life support in intensive care with organ failure. On her birthday in 2009, she received a new heart and promised God if she could live to raise her young daughter, she would do everything she could to give back. Today, Kaufman is doing just that. Kaufman started her non-profit, Ava’s Heart. She and her organization offer transplant patients services that are often not covered by insurance, including food, gas, and housing. She found out that patients often must show financial security and be able to afford transportation and housing near their transplant hospital to get listed. And for some patients hoping to receive a transplant in a big city like Los Angeles, where rents are high and hotels are expensive, the cost alone could be a barrier. Kaufman runs two housing locations where she houses up to five transplant patients and their families at a time, at no cost, after their surgery. This allows them to remain close to their transplant hospital for the duration of their aftercare. Since she started, Kaufman has helped about 175 people with post-transplant housing, and about 150 more with support services and financial assistance. At 72, Kaufman works out every day and has no plans to slow down. “I feel like I was chosen to do this,” she said. “When I made a promise to God, I didn’t know what it was going to be, but it turned out to be my non-profit, Ava’s Heart.” 24 . What left Kaufman’s life in danger? A. A heart from a donor. B. An undiagnosed disease. C. An organ transplant. D. A promise to God. 25 . What does the underlined phrase “on a dime” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Immediately. B. Slightly. C. Frequently D. Occasionally. 26 . What can we infer about Ava’s Heart? A. It has offered housing to 175 patients after their transplant surgeries. B. It plans to slow down because no profit can be made from the patients. C. It was started by Kaufman to help the transplant patients with insurance. D. It makes a great difference to the patients who can’t afford the cost. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. A Woman Fighting for Life. B. Never Lose Heart in Future. C. Home is Where the Heart is. D. Heart Donation to Those in Need. C Though writing by hand is increasingly being overshadowed by the ease of computers, a new study finds handwriting helps people learn certain skills surprisingly faster and significantly better than learning the same material through typing or watching videos. Brenda Rapp, a professor of cognitive science in Johns Hopkins University, led an experiment, in which 42 people were taught the Arabic alphabet, split into three groups of learners: writers, typers and video watchers. Everyone learned the letters one at a time by watching videos of them being written along with hearing names and sounds. After being introduced to each letter, the three groups would attempt to learn what they just saw and heard in different ways. The video group got an on-screen flash of a letter and had to recognize it. The typers would have to find the letter on the keyboard. The writers had to copy the letter with pen and paper. After as many as six sessions, the writing group reached this level of proficiency （熟练） faster than the other groups. Next the researchers wanted to determine to what extent the groups could generalize this new knowledge. In other words, they could all recognize the letters, but could anyone really use them like a professional by writing with them, using them to spell new words and using them to read unfamiliar words? The writing group was best — decisively — in all of those things. Rapp says it’s because handwriting reinforces the visual and aural lessons. The simple act of writing by hand provides a perceptual-motor （感知运动） experience that unifies what is being learned about the letters （their shapes, their sounds, and their motor plans）, which in turn creates richer knowledge and fuller true-learning. Although the participants in the study were adults, the researchers expect they’d see the same results in children. The findings have implications for classrooms, where pencils and notebooks have taken a backseat in recent years to tablets and laptops. 28. In this study, what is the advantage of writing by hand? A. It contributes to a faster and better learning. B. It can’t be replaced by computers and Internet. C. It combines visual and aural images into study. D. It never makes any mistake in the six sessions. 29. How were the people divided into groups in the experiment? A. On the basis of their interest in letters. B. According to their way of learning letters. C. Considering the time spent in learning letters. D. By their levels of proficiency in letters. 30. What effect do the researchers expect the study have on students? A. Uncertain. B. Negative. C. Beneficial. D. Challenging. 31. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To advertise a method. B. To clarify a concept. C. To introduce a research. D. To explain a phenomenon. D Humans have been exploring the infinite abyss （深渊） beyond Earth’s atmosphere. When astronauts explore the vast expanse of outer space, they need to wear high-tech spacesuits to protect them from the freezing conditions of the universe. Hollywood movies have idealized the iconic suit, its design leading the masses to believe it’s an outfit that can be slipped on within minutes. In fact, the spacesuit which is made up of nearly a half dozen different components and can have up to 16 layers is its own fully functioning spacecraft that takes hours to put on and requires help from one’s colleagues. The astronauts on the Artemis missions, NASA’s next program to send the first woman and the first person of color to the moon, will wear the latest spacesuit, called the exploration extravehicular mobility unit, also known as xEMU, according to NASA. Each spacesuit has a portable life support system, which includes a water tank for the cooling garment and carbon dioxide removal system to regulate body temperature, remove excess heat and maintain the astronauts’ health, said Richard Rhodes, the deputy lead for xEMU pressure garment development at NASA. A two-way radio system is also included so the astronauts can communicate during the missions. “When the Apollo astronauts walked on the moon, they couldn’t bend over and pick up a rock,” said NASA astronaut Mike Fincke. Fortunately, spacesuits have come a long way since then and have a more flexible structure with gloves. The gloves are one of the most complicated parts of the spacesuit, said Cathleen Lewis, curator of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum. “Gloves are very difficult to design to be protective and also allow the manual dexterity （灵巧）that astronauts need to do meaningful work” she noted. The spacesuits will also be getting some upgrades for the latest lunar mission. Richard Rhodes’s team is working on the spacesuit that will allow for more movement to explore the rough terrain of the moon while still being strong enough to protect the wearer. 32. What can we learn about the spacesuit in Hollywood movies? A. It provides the most ideal design. B. It functions as a spacecraft of its own. C. It can be put on without too much difficulty. D. It can protect the astronauts from the cold in space. 33. In what aspect does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about the latest spacesuit? A. Its operating methods. B. Its component parts. C. Its existing problems. D. Its initial aims. 34. Why are the Apollo astronauts mentioned in the passage? A. To contrast the Apollo spacesuit with the latest one. B. To give an example of a successful space mission. C. To demonstrate the failure of the Apollo missions. D. To criticize the incompetence of the Apollo astronauts. 35. Which of the following best describes NASA’s spacesuit for the next lunar mission? A. High-tech but impractical. B. Portable and mobile. C. Costly but well-received. D. Flexible and protective. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Travel nurses are skilled healthcare workers who are sent on assignments to different hospitals to fulfill short-term staffing shortages.
