阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。

A

Writer： Ralph Ellison Novel ： Invisible Man

Invisible Man is Ellison’s best known work, most likely because it was the only novel he ever published during his lifetime and because it won him the National Book Award in 1953. Ellison, originally from Oklahoma worked hard to match his earlier success but felt that he could not make any progress on his next novel that eventually came to include well over 2000 pages. It was not until Ellison’s death that this novel was condensed (浓缩），edited and published under the title Juneteenth.

Writer： Margaret Mitchell Novel： Gone with the wind

Margaret Mitchell, born in Georgia, never wanted to seek out literary success and wrote this expansive work in secret, only sending to publishers after she was mocked (讽刺)by a colleague who didn't believe she was capable of writing a novel. She turned out to be more than capable, and the book won a Pulitzer Prize and was adapted into one of the best-known and loved films of all time. Mitchell would not get a chance to write another novel, as she was struck and killed by a car on her way to the cinema at only 49 years of age.

Writer: Anna Sewell Novel: Black Beauty

Sewell didn't start off her life intending to be a novelist, she didn't begin writing Black Beauty until she was 51 years old, motivated by the need to create a work that encouraged people to treat horses ( and humans) humanely and it took her six years to complete it. Upon publication it was an immediate bestseller, rocketing Sewell into success. Unfortunately, she would not live to enjoy but a little of it as she died of hepatitis (肝炎）five months after her book was released.

(CNN) — A 12 -year-old girl who had a feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right.

Lydia Sebastian achieved the top score of 162 on Mensa，s Cattell III B paper, suggesting she has a higher IQ than well-known geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. The comparison doesn't sit well with the British student, who’s currently in Year 8 at Colchester County high school, a selective girl’s grammar school in Essex, England.

"I don't think I can be compared to such great intellectuals such as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. They’ve achieved so much. I don’t think it’s right," Lydia told CNN.

Lydia sat the test in her summer holidays, after raising the idea with her parents and pestering (纠缠）them for the best part of a year. It turns out the test wasn't that hard after all.

"I was really nervous before the test and I thought it was going to be really hard. But as I started the test, I thought it was a bit easier than I thought it was going to be," she said.

Lydia’s not quite sure what she wants to do when she leaves school, although she’s leaning toward something "based around Maths, because it’s one of my favorite subjects. " "All I，m going to do is work as hard as I can, and see where that gets me," she said.

To explain Lydia’s mark’s level, the top adult score in the Cattell III B test, which primarily tests verbal(语言) reasoning, is 161. A top 2% score 一 which allows entry to Mensa, the club for those with high IQs 一 would be 148 or over. Lydia scored 162, placing her in the top 1% of the population.

24. Lydia wanted to have an IQ test because_,

A. ail people around thought that she was smart

B. she felt that she might have a high IQ

C. her parents strongly wanted her to do so

D. the grammar school advised her to do so

25. What does the underlined words mean in the second paragraph?

A. is not accepted by. B. is not related to.

C. does not satisfy. D. does not affect.

26. What is Lydia's plan about the future according to the text?

A. She doesn’t have to work hard with her high IQ.

B. She has a tendency to focus around Maths.

C. She is quite sure about what to do in the future.

D. She will drop out of the grammar school.

27. What do we know from the last paragraph?

A. No one has achieved a higher IQ than Lydia,

B. Whoever has a high IQ can enter Mensa.

C. Only adults with high IQs can enter Mensa.

D. Mensa is a club for those with high IQs at least 148.

C

The European Union on Monday prohibited the use of X-ray body scanners (扫描仪）in European airports, parting ways with the U. S. Transportation Security Administration, which has used hundreds of the scanners as a way to screen millions of airline passengers for explosives hidden under clothing.

The European Commission, which enforces common policies of the EU’s 27 member countries, adopted the rule "in order not to risk doing harm to citizens' health and safety."

As a ProPublica/PBS NewsHour investigation detailed earlier this month, X-ray body scanners use ionizing radiation (电离辐射)，a form of energy that has been shown to damage DMA and cause cancer. Although the amount of radiation is extremely low, equal to the radiation a person would receive in a few minutes of flying, several research studies have concluded that a small number of cancer cases would result from scanning hundreds of millions of passengers a year.

European countries will be allowed to use an alternative body scanner relying on radio frequency waves, which have not been linked to cancer. The U. S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has also used hundreds of those machines —known as millimeter-wave scanners —in U. S. airports. But unlike Europe, it has decided to use both types of scanners.

The TSA would not comment specifically on the EU 's decision. But in a statement, TSA spokesman Mike McCarthy said, "As one of our many layers of security, TSA uses the most advanced technology available to provide the best opportunity to detect dangerous items, such as explosives.

“ We strictly test our technology to ensure it meets our high detection and safety standards before it is placed in airports," he continued. "Since January 2010, advanced imaging technology has detected more than 300 dangerous or illegal items on passengers in U. S. airports nationwide."

Body scanners have been controversial (有争议的）in the United States since they were first used in prisons in the late 1990s and then in airports for tests after 9/11.

28. Why did the European prohibit the use of X-ray scanners in European airports?

A. Because they are made in the USA. B. Because they are not effective in use.

C- Because they might do harm to passengers. D. Because their radiation is extremely low.

29. Which of the following is true about the new body scanners to be used in Europe?.

A. They will risk doing harm to passengers. B. They use ionizing radiation heavily.

C. Their radiation is extremely high. D. They won't risk causing cancer.

30. What can we infer from TSA’s statement?

A. The TSA will stop using the X-ray scanners.

B. The TSA won't use EU’s alterna
