An important drug that serves as the backbone of treatment for most childhood cancers, has become increasingly rare, and doctors are warning that they may soon be forced to consider rationing doses（定量供应剂量）.
There have been long-term shortages of certain drugs and medical supplies in the United States for years, but doctors say the loss of this medication,vincristine（长春新碱）is leading to lots of problems, as there is no appropriate substitute. “This is truly a sadsituation,” said Dr. Yoram Unguru, a doctor at the Herman and Walter Samuelson Children's Hospital at Sinai in Baltimore. “Vincristine is our water. It's our bread and butter. I can't think of a treatment for childhood cancer that doesn't use vincristine.” Shortages of the drug will likely affect children throughout the country, he said, forcing doctors to make difficult decisions.“There is no substitution for vincristine that can be recommended.” Dr.Ungurusaid. “You either have to skip a dose or give a lower dose or beg or borrow.”
Vincristineis one of the drugs used to manage leukemia, the most common childhood cancer.The Children's Oncology Group, a group of researchers at hospitals and cancercenters, has made recommendations for changing clinical trial treatment rules involving vincristine, including checking the hospital’s supply before trial enrollment, and considering using half the dose if the full amount is not available.
“We areall disappointed,” said Dr. Michael Link,a doctor at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Without vincristine, many children with acute lymphoblasicleukemia will still be cured,” but this is a difficult disease to treat ingeneral, and with one hand tied behind your back, it makes it much moredifficult.” Dr. Link said.
Until earlier this year, there were two suppliers of vincristine: Pfizer and Teva. InJuly, Teva made a “business decision to discontinue the drug,” according to theFood and Drug Administration (FDA).Since then, Pfizer has been the only supplier, and the company lately has been experiencing troubles with production. “Pfizer has experienced a delay, and weare working closely with them and exploring all ways to make sure this important cancer drug is available for the patients who need it,” the FDA said.Jessica Smith from Pfizer said the company would sped up additional shipments of the drug over the next few weeks in an effort to make up for Teva’s withdrawal from the market.
58. Which of the following statements of vincristine is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It is quite rare and expensive. B. It is an irreplaceable drug.
C. It is widely used in adult cancers. D.It used to be as common as bread and butter.
59. We can learn from Dr.Link's words that _______.
A.vincristine will cause back pain
B. the treatment without vincristine is almost impossible
C. the treatment without vincristine can still be carried out
D. lack of vincristine will promote drug research
60. What measures will the FDA take to solve the problem?
A.Exploring new ways to ship cancer drugs..
B.Making an effort to produce vincristine.
C.Cooperating with Pfizer to get more vincristine produced.
D.Persuading Pfizer and Teva to deal with the problem together.
C
Over the southern hemisphere's summer, mercifully now at an end, Australia burned under a pitiless sun. Bush fires down the continent's eastern part consumed 46 macres of countryside, destroying homes, taking lives and driving rare animals towards extinction. To many Australians, the satellite pictures showing huge amounts of smoke drifting off to the east over the Great Barrier Reef seemed a threat to life in an age of man-made warming.
It turns out that high temperatures were doing great damage under the water aswell. This month comes news that exceptionally warm seas have led the GreatBarrier Reef, the world’s biggest coral system, to suffer its third mass bleaching in five years. The bush and the reef: Australians almost define themselves by these two ecosystems, which once seemed boundless.
Coral bleaching takes place when sea temperatures rise sharply, causing the coralpolyps that make up reefs to spray the algae（海藻）that generate their food viaphotosynthesis（光合作用）.Without the colour edalgae, coral soon dies, leaving the complex colonies a ghostly white. Reefs canrecover from occasional bleachings: the fastest-growing corals regenerate in adecade or so. But mass bleachings on the Great Barrier Reef are becoming evermore frequent. And the run of recent bleachings had already killed off relatively heat-intolerant coral species. What is striking this year is thatfor the first time the bleaching extended to the southern part of the reef.There, closer to the pole, waters should be cooler. But not this year.
The biblical rains that put out the bush fires have also helped to lower water temperatures over the reef. The rains are proof to climate-change deniers that recent fires, droughts and floods are simply part of the natural cycle. They point with delight to the bush springing back to life. Yet while important habitats depend upon fire to regenerate, this summer’s fires, exceptionally,destroyed temperate rainforests too. Regarding the reef, the deniers play down the damage and insist on the ability of “nature to fix nature”. That is despite the accumulated effect of successive bleachings from which reef sstruggle to recover.
The bush fires threw the prime minister, Scott Morrison, off balance. Holidaying inHawaii made him look out if touch, while his Liberal Party’s cosy links to oil,gas, coal and iron-ore interests came under closer inspection. Mr Morrison’s official “representative” to the Great Barrier Reef, Warren Entsch, a Queenland politician, points out that “bleached corals are not dead corals” and predicts that many will recover. Although he admits climate change is a concern, he once complained that “forcing” youngsters to be worried about it is a form of “childabuse”. Most Australian care both about climate change and about the Great Barrier Reef—but not enough, alas, to call their government out over such ambivalence.
61. The greatest challenge to the recovery of the Great Barrier Reef is _______.
A. climate change B. bush fires C. heavy smoke D. high temperatures
62. The underlined expression “play down” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. mention lightly B. think highly of C. criticize fiercely D. take seriously
63. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The government is confident that nature will recover itself.
B. The government lays more emphasis onchild abuse.
C. The government calls on the public tocare about climate change.
D. The government admits climate change ishigh on the agenda.
64. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Australia On Fire B. Life Under Threat
C. Forest Fires Under Control D. Great Barrier Reef In HotWater
D
Deo had grown up barefoot in Burundi, but for a peasant boy he had done well. He was twenty-four. Until recentlyhe had been a medical student, for three years at or near the top of his class.But he had spent the past six months on the run.
He had one friend who had seen more of the world than East Central Africa, a fellow medical student named Jean. And it was Jean who had decided that New York was where he should go. Deo was traveling on a commercial visa. Jean's French father had written a letter identifying Deo as an employee on a mission to America. He was supposed to be going to New Yorkto sell coffee. Deo had read up on coffee beans in case he was questioned.Jean's father had also paid for the plane tickets. A fat booklet of tickets.
He had heard of French soldiers behaving badly in Rwanda, and had even caught glimpses of them training militiamen(民兵) in the camps, but waking up and seeing a white person in the next seat wasn't alarming, No onecalled him a cockroach (蟑螂). No one held a machete (大砍刀)
A voice was speaking to him. Heturned and saw a policeman who seemed friendly. Deo spoke to him in French, but the man shook his head and smiled. He asked a question in what Deo guessed was Englsh.Then a woman who had been sitting nearby got up and walked over French, at longlast French, coming out of her mouth. Perhaps she could help, the woman said inFrench. Deo thought: "God. I'm still in your hands." She arrangedt o sit next to him on the flight to New York and asked him lots of questions.Deo wanted to pay her back for helping him. So he tried to answer her
questions.They talked most of the way to New York. After such long solitude (独处), it felt wonderful to talk.
When he reached Immigration the agent stared at Deo's documents, then started asking questions in what had tobe English. There was nothing to do except smile. The agent went off and came back with another man. He introduced himself to Deo in French. His name was Muhammad. He said he came from Senegal. Muhammad asked Deo the agents' questions and also some questions of his own. For the agents, he asked Deo, “Where are you coming from?" When Deo said he had come from Burundi, Muhammad made a pained face and said to him in French, “How did you get out?"
There was no time even to attempt an answer. The agents were asking another question: Deo's visa said he was here on business. What business?
Selling coffee beans, Deo told them through Muhammad. Just keep smiling, Deo told himself.
How much money did he have?
Two hundred dollars, Deo said with pride. The cash had been a gift from Jean. Exchanged for Burundian francs,it could have bought a lot of cows. But neither Muhammad nor the agents looked impressed.
Where was he staying?
Jean had told him he'd be asked this. A hotel, he said.
The agents laughed. A week in ahotel on two hundred dollars?
In 1994, airport security wasn't what it soon would be. Muhammad said something in English to the agents. Hiswords must have been the right ones, because after a few more questions, the agents shrugged at each other and let him through, into America.
He had no idea what he'd do next. After six months on the run, he was in the habit of not looking ahead. And whatwas there to fear? What could the man in the booth up ahead do to him? Whatever it might be, he'd already seen worse. God had taken care of him so far. And still was taking care of him, it seemed. As this serious-looking stranger, Muhammad,walked him out of Customs, he said that Deo could stay with him in New YorkCity. But Deo would have to wait here for three hours. Muhammad worked at the airport as a baggage handler. He had to finish his shift. Could Deo wait three hours?
Only three hours? said Deo. Ofcourse!

A. Jean persuaded him to go to New York.

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

The term“organizational culture” refers to the norms and values of an organization,which together make the personality of the company. These values and norms areshared by people working throughout the organization. They govern the wayemployees interact with each other, within the workplace. Therefore, improvingorganizational culture is the need of the hour, as people want to work for acompany that enables them to keep a balance between their work and personallife. The organizations that treat their employees well and provide a goodworking atmosphere have shown an increase in the productivity of theiremployees. As a result, the attrition
rates（损耗率）are also lowered, which saves acompany the costs spent in hiring and training the employees. So, a healthyorganizational cultural is a win-win situation for the management, thecustomers, the shareholders and most importantly, the employees themselves.
When it comes to improving organizational culture, raining your employees in the right way is an important step towards improving your organization’s work culture. When your employees know how to dothings the right way and what the company expects from them, the rates of conflicts and errors can be brought down significantly. In addition, through the right training,your employees will become enthusiastic and be interested in working as a team and improving the work atmosphere as a whole. Then a productive environment will be created.
Another good way to bring about positive changes in the culture of the organization isby analyzing the existing culture and comparing it with the expectations of your employees. Bring changes accordingly. You can also organize discussions with your team members and talk about matters related to the current culture of the organization. Try to bring about the changes you find justified.
Conflicts are an unavoidable part of any organization and have direct bearing on the health of its culture. How they are handled is an indicator of the commonorganizational culture. Therefore, when conflicts do arise, the management mustsettle them quickly and kindly, in case they become worse over time. More importantly, an unmistakable and just conflict resolution mechanism should be created. If employees feel they are all being treated equally, they are more likely to accept their mistakes and the judgment of the management.
Since the organization is a collection of people, cooperation is a must to attain the objectives. Team building is vital in this respect and the management must showthe willingness or intention to involve employees in this process. They may be fun activities, like sports, games or serious ones. At the end of the day, such exercises strengthen the team spirit and the employees’ loyalty towards the organization, because cooperative teamwork proves a healthy organizational climate.

According to the announcement，standard Chinese language and mathematics tests will be on July 7，which are mandatory exams for all students.
On the morning of July 8，students would either take the test for social sciences（history，political science and geography）or natural sciences（physics，chemistry and biology），depending on their high-school subjects. Foreign language shall be the final subject .
Further arrangements will be announced to the public later.
The examination postponement could be regarded as an adjustment due to the coronavirus oufbreak，said Li Jiasheng，a senior high school teacher at Beijing No.4 High School，the Paper reported.
“It gives us more time to make up for the suspension of class due to the outbreak.”he added.

Faced with the coronavirus outbreak, China announced to postpone the national college entrance exam for a month, which reveals the government’s effort to guarantee equality in education.
The exam’s being postponed is attributed to many a factor. First of all, while the college entrance examination is always being attached significance to, the safety of teachers and students can never be neglected during the special period, which must be given top priority to. Additionally, the new term put off by virtue of the epidemic, all the students in China need more time to get prepared,especially for the students having difficulty accessing online courses.
The exam postponement inevitably exerts an impact on my study. Rethinking my study plan and making it more efficient is high on the agenda. Meanwhile, I will make the most of the extra month to strengthen my strengths and compensate for my weaknesses to achieve all-round development.
Success lying ahead, we are bound to embrace a brightf uture.

M: Tammy, do you want to go to the movies with us on Saturday?
W: Hey, Raj! I’d love to, but I have tohelp my mom clean the house. M: Too bad for you!
W:What do you mean? You never have to help around the house? M: That’s right! Only my sisters have to do chores.
W: How do you get away with that?
M:Well, my family’s a little more traditional, and my parents lived in India formost of their lives. In fact, we didn’t move from there to the US until I was about four. In many Indian families, girls do the housework, and boys, well…
W: Get treated like kings?
M: Exactly. In fact, that’s what my name means: “king”. W: So, basically, your parents spoil you.
M:I guess they do, in many ways. But being a son means I’ll have more responsibility toward my parents when I get older.

W:When you turn on the radio, you hear an advertisement. When you watch television, you hear and see an advertisement. If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find an advertisement. If you walk down the street, you see one advertising board after another. All day, every day, people who want to sell you something compete to catch your attention. As a result,advertisements are almost everywhere. In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. The government does not give money to mass media such as TV stations, newspapers, magazines and radio stations. They are allowned privately. So where does the money come from? From advertisements.Without advertisements, there would not be these private businesses.
Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people have given different answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of “keeping your name before the public.” And some people thought that advertising was “truth well told.” Now more and more
people describe it in this way: Advertising is the paid, nonpersonal, and usually persuasive description of goods, services and ideas through various media
