A

Daniella Wride was brushing her daughter’s long brown hair when she noticed that with each

comb,

masses

of

the

hair

were

coming

out.

That

was

January

1,

2017.

Within

20

days,

seven-year-

old

Gianessa

Wride’s

hair

was

completel

y

gone,

and

her

doctor

said

the

hair

would

never

grow

back.

Gianessa

had

become

one

of

the

6.8

million

Americans

with

alopecia,

an

auto-immune disease that causes hair loss.

Alopecia isn’t painful, but for kids who suffer from it, the severe pain comes fro

m standing

out from the crowd. For the most part, the students in Gianessa’s first

-grade class in Salem, Utah,

were understanding. But the occasional jokes of “Baldy”

（秃子）

made her feel like an abandoned

child.

“I

didn’t

want

her

to

feel

that

she

wasn’t

like

the

other

kids,”

her

mother

said,

“I

tried

covering her baldness, but the artificial hair was uncomfortable.”

Then

comes

the

school’s

traditional

“Crazy

Hair

Day”

in

April,

a

great

just

-for- fun

celebration

where

all

the

kids

and

their

parents

can

express

their

wild

sides

a

bit.

Daniella

and

Gianessa

?

decided

that

rather

than

hide Gianessa’s

baldness

under

the artificial

hair,

they

would

celebrate

it.

Daniella

bought

scrapbook- sticker

（贴纸）

jewels

and

decorated

her

head

with

flowered

designs

and

even

a

deer.

“They

just

fit

her

personality,”

Daniella

smiled.

“She’s

so

3

高三上学期期末考试英语试题

lovely.”

On

the

morning

of

the competition,

Gianessa

was nervous. Would her

friends

think

it

was

funny? However, with her mother’s encouragement, she had nothing to fear. Impressive Gianessa

was a hit and a winner of the crazy-

hair competition. Gianessa is now glad she dared to go bare. “I

was sad at first when I lost all my hair,” she told people, “But now I love being bald. I can do

things to my head that other kids can’t. I’m thinking now it might

be fun to decorate my head with

some colourful butterflies and flowers.”

21. Why was Gianessa different from other kids?

A. She was born bald.

B. She suffered from hair loss.

D. She had her head fully shaved.

C. She was talented in hair designing.

22. How did others react to Gianessa’s disease?

A. Her doctor was quite optimistic.

B. Her mother gave her artificial hair.

D. Her school offered her special help.

C. Her classmates were all considerate.

23. What could Gianessa do on the “Crazy Hair Day”?

A. She could tease others.

B. She could decorate her hair.

D. She could show her personality.

C. She could shop scrapbook-stickers.

24. What is the main idea of this text?

A. The artificial hair built up the girl’s confidence.

B. The girl faced her disease in a most beautiful way.

C. The competition served as a way to make a change.

D. The disease was cured with mother’s love and care.

B

A study has shown that severe stress lasting weeks or months can damage cell communications

in

the

brain’s

memory

areas.

Recently,

researchers

from

University

of

California,

Irvine,

have

provided the first evidence that short-term stress lasting for a few hours has the same effect.

“Stress does exist in our lives and cannot be avoided,” said Dr. Baram, leader of the UC Irvine

School.

“Our

findings

can

play

an

important

role

in

the

present

development

of

medicine

that

might prevent these undesirable effects and offer understanding of why some people are forgetful

or have difficulty

keeping the memories.”

In their study, Baram and her UC Irvine colleagues identified a novel process in which stress

4

高三上学期期末考试英语试题

caused

these

effects.

They

found

that,

severe

stress

act ivated

（激活）

Corticotropin

Releasing

Hormones (CRH), which prevented the brain from keeping memory.

Memory

takes

place

at

synapses,

where

there

are

connections

through

which

brain

cells

communicate. These synapses lie on dendritic spines

（

神经元）

. In rat and mouse studies, Baram’s

group saw that the release

（释放）

of CRH in the brain’s primary mem

ory center led to the rapid

breakup of these dendritic spines, which in turn limited the ability of synapses to collect and store

memories.

In

addition,

the

researchers reproduced

the effects

of

stress

on dendritic

spines

by

keeping

low levels of CRH, and

watching how the spines ruptured

over

minutes. “Fortunately, once we

removed the CRH, the spines seemed to grow back again,” Baram said, “And this study can play a

role in the creation of treatments to address stress-

related memory loss.”

25. According to the text, short-term stress can lead to _______.

A. memory loss

C. head damage

B. cell decrease

D. thought disorder

26. The underlined word “ruptured” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _______.

A. came into being

B. built up

C. broke apart

D. died away

27. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A. To discuss the main stages of stress.

B. To show the primary cause of stress.

C. To introduce a new finding about stress.

D. To promote an effective treatment for stress.

Handwriting,

which

has

developed

over

ages,

is

receiving

a

tech

edge

from

the

boom

in

artificial

intelligence

(AI).

Thanks

to

the

rapid

advances

in

technology,

new

smart

hardware

is

reshaping how pupils will write and interact with teachers.

Equipped with a built-in mini camera, T-One, an AI-enabled smart pen can click up to 240

images

（

图像）

per second, and store content handwritten on 400 A4-sized pages. Meanwhile, it can

instantly

digitalize

students’

handwritten

notes,

automatically

eva

luating

their

answers

and

potentially reducing the workload of teachers.

When

students

write

with

the

smart

pen

on

a

piece

of

specially

produced

paper,

which

is

5

高三上学期期末考试英语试题

printed with an invisible dot code pattern, the high-speed camera at the front of the pen can record

the

movement

of

the

penpoint.

And

the

pressure

sensor

will

store

all

the

information

such

as

writing

time

and

speed,

and

page

number.

Information

thus

collected

is

sent

via

Bluetooth

to

computers or other hand-held devices

（设备）

, which are equipped wit

h Master Learner’s “super

teacher” system. The system can automatically review students’ homework on behalf of teachers.

The system is said to be able to evaluate answers. Professor James, founder of Master

Learner,

said, “Handwriting has always played an

irreplaceable role as a medium of interaction between

teachers and students. Unlike typing on the keyboard, writing on paper is still the most preferred

way in Chinese classrooms and examinations.”

According to him, the smart pen is meant to digitalize the education process, and improve

efficien cy

（效率）

while protecting the traditional writing habits. “We are starting to mass

-produce

the

smart

pen.

In

the

future,

their

appearance,

weight

and

feel

will

be

similar

to

that

of

conventional pens,” James said hopefu

lly, without mentioning its price.

28. What can we learn about T-One?

A. It is a newly-invented camera with mass storage.

B. It can be used to transform students’ personal information.

C. It helps improve the relationship between students and teachers.

D. It preserves students’ traditional writing habits regardless of its high tech.

29. What is Professor James’ attitude toward T

-

One’s future?

A. Positive.

B. Doubtful.

C. Sensitive.

D. Cautious.

30. What is the best title for the text?

A. Technology Leads New Times

C. Smart Pens Attract Teachers’ Attention

D. AI Gives Handwriting Huge Advantage

B. Interactions Come First in Education
