2．Deveza's mother was on the waiting list for a kidney transplant（腎移植）.Deveza wanted to donate one of her own kidneys—but she was turned down because she might develop the same health problems as her mother in later life.
Deveza came up with a different plan.In 2017，she started the world's first paired exchange of different organs between living donors，exchanging half her liver（肝） for someone else's kidney.A case study of the organ exchange has now been published，and the surgeons who were involved are calling for more exchanges like this. "You can imagine the enormous impact for mixed organ extended chains，" says John Roberts，a surgeon at University of California，San Francisco.
Most organ transplants come from people who have died，but there are never enough organs.As most people can manage with just one of their kidneys，people with kidney failure are increasingly receiving donated organs from relatives or friends.If someone wants to donate but their immune（免疫的） system is unsuited，doctors may be able to find pairs of would-be donors who can each give a kidney to the other's relative.
When Deveza was looking into such chains，she came across research describing the idea of trading a kidney with the only other organ generally taken from a living donor—the liver.She suggested the idea to many hospitals before she finally contacted Roberts，who saw the idea's potential.
Deveza was assessed to be in good enough health to donate part of her liver.It then took 18 months to find Annie Simmons，in Idaho，whose liver was unsuitable to use as a transplant for her sister with severe liver disease.They drew up a plan：Simmons would donate a kidney to Deveza's mother，and in return，Deveza would give half her liver to Simmons' sister.The hospital gave the go-ahead and the four operations took place on the same day successfully.
The team hope that the ground-breaking case will inspire more people to consider doing the same.Roberts says that direct exchanges involving two donors could enable up to thirty extra living-donor liver transplants a year—a ten percent increase.
（1）What did Deveza do to save her mother？
A．Carrying out a case study.
B．Calling for kidney donations.
C．Launching a medical experiment.
D．Trading half her liver for a kidney.
（2）What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about？
A．Patients' desperation to survive.
B．Several sources of organ donation.
C．Current situation of organ transplants.
D．Doctors' efforts to improve organ transplants.
（3）What can be inferred about the organ exchange between Deveza and Simmons？
A．It discouraged organ donation.
B．It brought two families together.
C．It met with widespread approval.
D．It produced a desirable outcome.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．My Liver，Your Kidney.
B．Mother's Love，Our Happiness.
C．Organ Transplant：Blessing for Patients.
D．Organ Exchange：Major Medical Advances.組卷：5引用：5難度：0.7 -
3．It's no secret now that the more time we spend on social media，the more we feel dissatisfied with ourselves.We tend to compare ourselves to influences and celebrities- so it's easy to understand how that can affect our confidence.
But，how often have you found yourself comparing your life to your friends？Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at content shared by celebrities，new research has found.
The study looking at how social media affects body image found that any social media engagement was significantly associated with lower "appearance satisfaction".Additionally，it found that engaging with content posted by people the participants knew was more than twice as damaging as looking at content posted by strangers，including celebrities.
Viren Swami，Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University，believes this is partly because we know it's hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influences，but when we're comparing ourselves to our friends，it feels like we should- or could-live the way they do.
"One possible explanation is that people may perceive a post showing appearance as being much more attainable if it comes from someone they know，adding expectation or pressure on the person engaging in the post， " he said. "At the same time，people may be more critically engaged with posts by the likes of models and celebrities，and therefore perceive the images they share to be more unrealistic. "
This is not just confined to body image though.We all have one area in our lives that triggers（觸 發(fā)）us.Maybe you've been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media，envying your school friend who just landed their dream role.Maybe. . .
All this is to say the obvious：we only see part of people's lives -and if it's getting you down，you're probably comparing your insides to other people's outsides.Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone.So，put down your phone，get offline，be thankful and try to live your own life.
（1）What did the new study find？
A．Social media invites unfavorable comments.
B．Friends' posts affect us more than celebrities'.
C．Celebrities have a negative influence on our life.
D．Body image causes more concern than social life.
（2）Why are we more likely to compare with our friends according to Swami？
A．They serve as role models.
B．We know the way they live. ，
C．Their lifestyles are accessible.
D．We are curious about their life.
（3）What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 probably mean？
A．Restricted.
B．Related.
C．Devoted.
D．Exposed.
（4）What does the author suggest people do？
A．Find your dream and fight for it.
B．Stop comparing and be yourself.
C．Be grateful and lead a perfect life.
D．Stop complaining and get down to work.組卷：2引用：4難度：0.3

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
I ran after the train，shouting， "Hey mister，can't you see me？" It was hopeless，as no conductor is going to slow down for a 60-year-old man who got to the station several minutes late.They absolutely didn't know how important that day，that train ride was to me!I was on my way to an interview for what could have been the opportunity of a lifetime.
I threw both my hat and my art case down in depression，and sat down on the nearest chair，wiping （擦掉） the sweat from my face and breathing heavily.I would have to wait a whole day for the next train，and by then my appointment with the gallery owner would have given up on me.Perhaps it was for the best.It was，after all，the first time in 40 years anyone had shown such an interest in my art.Maybe if the gallery owner had seen all my paintings，he would have changed his mind about offering me space on his walls.
Disappointment filled my soul.Should I dial the gallery and get an interview on a different day？But Pierre Gianni was the owner of the most well-known gallery in New York City.Why would he give a rare second chance to an elderly nobody when he had the newest，coolest young artists to choose from？
Come to think of it，perhaps these insecurities were the very reason I had never been offered a show before.I was too afraid to try.I found countless excuses not to offer my work up to be seen and perhaps criticized.I told myself it would hurt too much if I failed，but the truth was that I had never tried.
Finally，I gathered all my courage to dial the gallery，only to find my antique cell phone had broken down.It was at the very moment that I was in total despair and decided to go home.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
（2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Suddenly I felt a touch on my shoulder.
_______
The next morning I got to the gallery on time.
