later, the happy wife called to claim the ring. She even tested pictures of her and her husband eating there in 2017 as proof. The restaurant mailed the ring back to the happy couple. Meanwhile, Krivoy discovered that the gold coin was very rare. It was from 1855 and worth as much as $2

Passage 2 (19) My research focus is on what happens to our immune system as we age. So the job of the immune system is to fight infections. It also protects us from viruses, and from autoimmune diseases. We know that as we get older, it’s easier for us to get infections. So older adults have more chances of falling ill. This is evidence that our immune system really doesn’t function so well when we age. In most of our work, when we’re looking at older adults who’ve got an illness, we always have to have health controls. So we work very closely with a great group of volunteers called the ‘One Thousand Elders’. These volunteers are all 65 or over, but in good health. (20) They come to the university to provide us with blood samples, to be interviewed, and to help us carry out a whole range of research. (21) The real impact of our research is going to be on health in old age. At the moment, we’re living much longer. Life expectancy is increasing at two years for every decade. That means an extra five hours a day. I want to make sure that older adults are still able to enjoy their old age, and that they’re not spending time in hospital with infections, feeling unwell and being generally weak. (21) We want people to be healthy, even when they’re old. ? 19. What is the focus of the speaker’s research? [D] The change in people’s immune system as they get older. 20. What are the volunteers asked to do in the research? [B] Offer blood samples. 21. What does the speaker say will be the impact of his research?

According to a German professor, the soreness comes from straining your muscles in an uncommon way, for example, jumping on a bicycle for a ride, because you haven't ridden in a long time. Soreness occurs since your leg muscles aren't used to that movement. When muscles perform an activity they aren't regularly expose to, the tiny fibers that are inside them are being torn apart. As muscle soreness develops, the body has to work to repair the muscle tears, but this doesn't happen immediately. First, the body must realize the muscles are damaged. When the body realizes the muscles are hurt, the response is to increase blood flow to the area and increase body heat, damaged cells are then cleaned up and the body sends cells specially designed to break down the large muscle fiber fragments. Healing can take place after this. It takes about a day until these cells make it to your aching muscles. That's why there is most often a delay associated with muscle soreness. Repair of damaged cells takes about two days, and afterwards the soreness disappears. Unfortunately, there is little that can be down to relieve muscle soreness. Pain relieving creams don't work, but a hot shower, or warm bath can provide some relief. 在經(jīng)過(guò)艱苦的鍛煉或一天的體力活動(dòng)后，你經(jīng)常會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)肌肉疼痛，但這些疼痛從何而來(lái)呢？據(jù)一位德國(guó)教授說(shuō)，疼痛來(lái)自于非同尋常的肌肉拉傷，例如，騎自行車(chē)去兜風(fēng)，因?yàn)槟阋呀?jīng)很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間沒(méi)騎了。疼痛的發(fā)生是因?yàn)槟愕耐炔考∪獠涣?xí)慣這種運(yùn)動(dòng)。當(dāng)肌肉進(jìn)行某種偶然的活動(dòng)時(shí)，肌肉內(nèi)的細(xì)小纖維就會(huì)被撕裂。隨著肌肉酸痛的發(fā)展，身體必須努力修復(fù)肌肉撕裂，但這個(gè)修復(fù)過(guò)程不會(huì)馬上就發(fā)生。首先，身體必須意識(shí)到肌肉受損。當(dāng)身體意識(shí)到肌肉受傷時(shí)，對(duì)此的反應(yīng)是增加流向該區(qū)域的血流并增加體溫，然后，受損的細(xì)胞被清理干凈，身體派出專門(mén)針對(duì)于此的細(xì)胞來(lái)分解大的肌纖維碎片。愈合可以發(fā)生在這之后。這些細(xì)胞到達(dá)你患處大約需要一天的時(shí)間。這就是為什么與肌肉酸痛相關(guān)的延遲最常見(jiàn)的原因。受損細(xì)胞的修復(fù)需要大約兩天，然后疼痛消失。不幸的是，幾乎沒(méi)有什么東西可以減輕肌肉酸痛。止痛膏不起作用，但沖個(gè)熱水澡或泡個(gè)溫水浴可以緩解疼痛。 Questions 22-25 are based on the passage you have just heard. 請(qǐng)根據(jù)剛才所聽(tīng)文章回答22-25題。 Question 22.

Section C Passage 1 Scientists have identified thousands of known ant species around the world. And only a few of them bug humans. Most ants live in the woods or out in nature, there they keep other creatures in check, distribute seeds and clean dead and decaying materials from the ground. (16) A very small percentage of ants do harm to humans. But those are incredibly challenging to control. They are small enough to easily slip inside your house, live in colonies that number in the tens of thousands to the hundreds of thousands, and reproduce quickly. That makes them good at getting in and hard to kick out. Once they settle in, these insects start affecting your home. In addition to biting ants, other species can cause different kinds of damage. (17)Some, like carpenter ants can undermine a home structure, while others interfere with electrical units. Unfortunately our homes are very attractive to ants because they provide everything the colony needs to survive, such as food, water and shelter. So how can we prevent ants from getting into our homes? (18)Most important of all, avoid giving ants any access to food, particularly sugary food because ants have a sweet tooth. We also need to clean up spills as soon as they occur and store food in airtight containers. Even garbage attracts ants, so empty your trash as often as possible, and store your outside garbage in a lidded can well away from doors and windows. ? 16. What does the passage say about ants? [C] Only a few species cause troubles to humans. 17. What do we learn from the passage about carpenter ants? [B] They can cause damages to people’s homes. 18. What can we do to prevent ants from getting into our homes? [A] Deny them access to any food. ? 解析： 本篇短文的題材是生物，和螞蟻有關(guān)，主要講的是某個(gè)品種的螞蟻有害且難以控制，并介紹了如何預(yù)防螞蟻進(jìn)入住宅的措施。做短文要利用好答案提示詞和句型，做第18題利用起強(qiáng)調(diào)作用的答案提示詞組most important of all以及表并列的提示詞also可以得出答案。

Conversation 2 ? W: I'm thinking of buying a car. I wouldn't need to use it every day, but I think it would be very convenient to have one for the weekends. (12) M: That's exciting. Would this be your first car? W: No, I actually owned a car for a little while when I lived in Miami. You see, in America, many cities don't have good public transport, so most people need their own car to get around. M: I see. So have you got your mind?set on a specific model? W: No, not really. I've heard that German cars are very reliable.(13) But I haven't decided on a specific model yet. I'd also like it to be small, so that it's easy to drive in the city. M:?I have a friend who sells second hand cars. In fact, I think his family owns the business. He's a really nice guy, and he knows a lot about cars. I could give you his phone number if you want. And you could call him and ask him questions. (14) W: Hmm, that's nice of you, but I don't want to feel obliged to buy one of his cars. M: Oh, no, he's not like that. He's a good friend of mine, and he would never try to pressure you or cheat you. (15) W：Well, if you trust him, then I guess it should be OK? To be honest, I could use some help in deciding what type of vehicle would best suit my needs. Speaking to an expert would be a good idea. M： Exactly, you have nothing to worry about. He's a lovely guy, and he'll be happy to help. (15) ? Question 12:?Why does the woman want to have a car? （出現(xiàn)在對(duì)話開(kāi)頭） Question 13: What does the woman say about German cars?.
