When she was fund ff the cast f Califrnia fur years ag, the fur seal, knwn as Ziggy Star, was skinny and fragile. She was unfit t return t the wild. And thugh a prfessinal rescue team tk her in t care fr her, Ziggy cntinued t decline. “I wuldn’t have given her next week,” says Uriarte, a surgen wh led a recent first-f-its-kind brain peratin n the seal.
The peratin was the first f its kind t treat hydrcephalus (脑积水) in fur seals. The surgical team at Tufts University was unable t find any dcumented evidence f a similar prcedure, s they needed a lt f preparatin t perate n Ziggy’s brain. The biggest cncern in perating n Ziggy was hw t cntrl the animal’s anesthesia (麻醉). “When they’re under anesthesia their bdy’s reactins include decreasing their heart rate, bld pressure, and breath,” says Flwer, describing the special challenges f perating n seals. On the day f her surgery, Flwer, wh bserves Ziggy and the ther animals’ care, says that she and her team “were all quite anxius nt knwing what wuld happen”. Mving quickly was extremely imprtant; the lnger she was under anesthesia, the mre likely that she culd lse her breathing, says the surgen. The seal had been kept n land t prevent water frm entering the cut n her head.
Nw, Ziggy is eating a full diet and is beginning t gain weight again. “Recently I’ve allwed her t g swimming,” says Flwer. Hwever, the surce f Ziggy’s neurlgical disrder is still a mystery. “My thery is that when she was fund, she had a head injury,” Uriarte says. “Hit by a bat maybe… That happens a lt with seals. I dn’t think there’s enugh infrmatin t make that assumptin. We just dn’t knw what happened t her.”
4. After being cared fr by a prfessinal rescue team first, Ziggy Star _________.
A. was wrseningB. cntinued t recver
C. was sent t a universityD. was beginning t gain weight
5. What was the mst challenging part f the peratin?

6. What can we learn abut Ziggy after the peratin?
A. She is strng enugh t live in the wild.
B. She is recvering frm a brain peratin.
C. She has already becme as heavy as befre.
D. She is suffering frm heart rate disrder.

Scres n English tests are very imprtant t students arund the wrld. In rder t make sure that they d their best, bth students and teachers shuld stay infrmed f hw these tests are changing.
Clive Rberts, a directr at ELS Educatinal Services, says the tests are changing greatly in respnse t the glbal grwth in the use f English as a cmmn language amng peple with different native languages. He says English “is ne f the keys nw t internatinal student mbility. S, fr that reasn, a lt f new tests are being develped; ld tests are being revamped t meet the needs f universities and emplyers wrldwide.”
Mr. Rberts says several parts f standardized tests have changed recently. Nw, many tests are given n cmputers. And, he says, tests measure all fur skills f language learning: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Cmputer testing will reduce the length f time required fr testing, because the tests adjust t the test-taker’s ability. These cmputer-adaptive tests als increase accuracy in scring. Cmputer-adaptive tests change depending n the test-taker’s respnses. They can becme mre r less difficult during the testing sessin. Fr this reasn, the set f crrect answers will be different fr each test-taker.
Anther change t language testing relates t cultural sensitivity. Mr. Rberts says test develpment cmpanies are nw hiring peple with intercultural cmmunicatin backgrunds. The cmpanies want t make sure the test des nt upset test-takers. Having negative feelings may affect a student’s perfrmance n the test.
The tests have als becme mre prficiency-riented. The items are being designed in such a way that they test real-wrld prficiency and nt simply srt f an artificial envirnment r a specific set f skills that are taught in a classrm. S a lt f authentic texts, and a lt f authentic listening passages are being used.
In additin, changes t the tests will encurage schls t teach their students t use English fr everyday life and study.
8. What des the writer intend t d in Paragraph 1?
A. Intrduce the tpic f the text.B. Emphasize the imprtance f English test scres.
C. Talk abut the changed tests. D. Shw his/her cncern abut language learning.
9. Which f the fllwing may replace the underlined wrd “revamped” in Paragraph 2?
A. increasedB. simplifiedC. imprvedD. saved
10. Which f the fllwing is NOT a change f the English test?
A. Time-saving.B. Cmputer-assisted.
C. Inflexibility.D. Real-wrld prficiency.
11. Peple with intercultural cmmunicatin backgrunds are emplyed _________.
A. t take the test themselves first
B. t evaluate the quality f the test
C. t ensure the test wn’t be culturally ffensive
D. t tell the intercultural differences arising frm the test

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. N news is gd news, and gd news is n news. Thse are the classic rules fr the evening bradcasts and the mrning papers. But nw that infrmatin is being spread and mnitred(监控) in different ways, researchers are discvering new rules. By tracking peple’s e-mails and nline psts, scientists have fund that gd news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sb stries.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule wrks fr mass media,” says Jnah Berger, a schlar at the University f Pennsylvania. “They want yur eyeballs and dn’t care hw yu’re feeling. But when yu share a stry with yur friends, yu care a lt mre hw they react. Yu dn’t want them t think f yu as a Debbie Dwner.”
Researchers analyzing wrd-f-muth cmmunicatin—e-mails, Web psts and reviews, face-t-face cnversatins—fund that it tended t be mre psitive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean peple preferred psitive news. Was psitive news shared mre ften simply because peple experienced mre gd things than bad things? T test fr that pssibility, Dr. Berger lked at hw peple spread a particular set f news stries: thusands f articles n The New Yrk Times’ website. He and a Penn clleague analyzed the “mst e-mailed” list fr six mnths. One f his first findings was that articles in the science sectin were much mre likely t make the list than nn-science articles. He fund that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want t share this psitive feeling with thers.
Readers als tended t share articles that were exciting r funny, r that inspired negative feelings like anger r anxiety, but nt articles that left them merely sad. They needed t be arused(激发) ne way r the ther, and they preferred gd news t bad. The mre psitive an article, the mre likely it was t be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new bk, “Cntagius: Why Things Catch On.”
12. What d the classic rules mentined in the text apply t?
A. News reprts.B. Research papers.
C. Private e-mails.D. Daily cnversatins．
13. What can we infer abut peple like Debbie Dwner?
A. They’re scially inactive.
B. They’re gd at telling stries.
C. They’re incnsiderate f thers.
D. They’re careful with their wrds.
14. Which tended t be the mst e-mailed accrding t Dr. Berger’s research?
A. Sprts news.B. Science articles.
C. Persnal accunts.D. Financial reviews.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Sad Stries Travel Far and Wide
B. Online News Attracts Mre Peple
C. Reading Habits Change with the Times
D. Gd News Beats Bad n Scial Netwrks

As a yung by, I was carefree. Every vacatin I lked frward t tw things—seeing my grandpa and hearing his wnderful stries. My grandpa was a very gd stryteller. He had wrked varius dd jbs when he was yung and wve his adventures and misadventures int fantastic tales. These wnderful tales clred my childhd.
As I grew up, I had t admit that Grandpa’s stries went n a little lng, even a little bring and gradually lst their magic. Hwever, nt wanting t upset him, my brther and I wuld smetimes take turns sitting in the living rm, listening t grandpa tell his stries.
When my grandpa was appraching 91, he suffered frm serius memry-lss. It was kind f what dctrs called dementia (痴呆), prbably the earliest stage f Alzheimer’s disease. Fllwing the dctr’s directins, we mved him int a Sunrise Assisted Living Cmmunity, where he culd get a better care. After that, grandpa hardly came t ur huse.
One weekend befre my grandpa’s birthday, I came t visit him. Seeing grandpa sitting in his armchair, dull-lking, I was cnsumed with mixed feelings. I wheeled grandpa t the sunshine in the curtyard, talking t him. He culdn’t express himself clearly and spke in shrt bursts, but I listened t him patiently and carefully just as I used t be a little by.
It was then that I nticed a shadw bx with sme ld and yellwish phts in it. I picked ne up, in which my brther, several bys in ur neighbrhd, and I were playing basketball with grandpa cheering us n twenty years befre. My mind flashed back t thse beautiful memries. Back then, Grandpa was in gd physical cnditin and we were all wearing basketball jerseys, playing and laughing with abandn. I presented the pht t my grandpa, pinting at each member and reminding him f their names. Incredibly, grandpa culd speak ut the name f every player. I even caught a sft light in grandpa’s eyes and a smile n his lips.
