　　BLOOD DRIVE ＆ MARROW（骨髓）REGISTRATION

　　“These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of the strangers to make that happen.

　　— Daisy, Isabelle’s Mother

　　Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed（诊断）with a genetic blood disorder，beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (输血) every 4-6weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant.

　　Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.

　　阅读理解2017·山东烟台模拟If you’re in Florence，Italy，and see a man on a ladder wiping the dust off statues and buildings，don’t worry.It’s just Alessandro Ricci gathering material for his famous smog paintings.

　　Ricci is not a common artist，because he used smog as the main medium of his artworks.Unlike other painters seeking fast recognition of their talent，he doesn’t really care about “being this big artist”．Instead he is more concerned about bringing attention to how much smog there really is in his home town and how it’s destroying both its monuments and people.

　　Although he did take a couple of art classes a few years back，he is mainly self­taught，doesn’t work in a studio，donates most of his work，and refuses to play by the rules of the Florentine Art Gallery，which he considers corrupt.Alessandro Ricci believes selling his smog paintings will not only compromise his principles，but also contradict the very thing he’s trying to do—raise awareness about smog pollution in this city.

　　Alessandro lives with his parents nearby Florence，but almost every day he visits the streets of the city，and collects smog for his paintings.He gets it from several meters above ground，from clean surfaces like marble，plastic and stone，using damp pieces of cotton.Then he applies the smog directly onto a cloth and creates street scenes and reproductions of the very buildings from which he got the dangerous material.Finally，he seals his paintings with a natural resin (树脂)．

　　His actions helped win a small victory for the people of Florence，as in October 25,2017 the Duomo area of the city was made pedestrian­only.But there is still a long way to go，the artist believes，and only cleaning the thick layer of smog that has accumulated throughout Florence would take several years.Still，he continues to paint his unique smog artworks and let the people know how polluted the environment they live in really is.

　　答案：C阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dump, makes me feel good and warms my heart.

　　How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.

　　I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say.Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face.They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting__a__gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space.How can people not get a really funny joke?

　　Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.

　　(2017·太原市二模，B)

　　MARCH 05, 2017

　　TOKYO (AFP)—A father froze to death while sheltering his nineyearold daughter from severe weekend snowstorms that swept northern Japan. Mikio Okada, one of at least nine people killed as snowstorms swept across Hokkaido (北海道), died as he tried to protect his only child Natsune against winds of up to 109 kilometers per hour in Yubetsu, Hokkaido, as temperatures fell sharply to minus 6 degrees centigrade.

　　Okada's body was uncovered by rescuers looking for the pair after relatives raised the alarm. Natsune was wearing her father's jacket and was wrapped in his arms. The pair had last been heard from at 4 p. m. on Saturday, after fisherman Okada picked his daughter up from a school where she was being looked after while he was at work. Okada called his relatives to say his truck had become stuck in the driving snow, which was several meters deep in places. He told them he and Natsune would walk the remaining kilometre. The two were found just 300 meters from the truck at 7 a．m. on Sunday.

　　Okada had his body bent over his daughter, gently holding her in his arms and apparently using his body and a warehouse wall to provide shelter. The small girl was taken to hospital, where she was found to have no serious injuries. Her father was officially pronounced dead by doctors at the same hospital.

　　The newspaper Yomiuri said Natsune's mother had died of illness two years earlier. The paper quoted neighbors as saying Okada had been an extremely caring father who would often delay the start of his working day to enjoy breakfast with his daughter.

　　His death came as families all over Japan celebrated Girls' Day, a festival in which they gather at home and decorate houses with dolls. “He reserved a cake for his only daughter and was looking forward to celebrating Dolls' Festival together，” a neighbor told the Yomiuri.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇资讯报道。文章报道了在日本发生的一场暴风雪，父亲为了保护女儿被冻死的感人故事。

　　1．When the disaster happened, the father and daughter were ________.

　　A．returning home after visiting relatives

　　B．just 300 meters away from home

　　C．driving home after a visit to a hospital

　　D．on their way home from the girl's school

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三、四句“... after fisherman Okada picked his daughter up from a school... his truck had become stuck in the driving snow...”可知，D项正确。

　　2．Which of the following doesn't show the father's love for his daughter?

　　A．Okada called his relatives to say his truck had become stuck.

　　B．Okada had his body bent over his daughter.

　　C．Okada had been looking forward to Dolls' Festival.

　　D．Natsune was wearing her father's jacket.

　　答案：A　细节理解题。文章第二段第四句“Okada called his relatives to say his truck had become stuck in the driving snow...”只是在陈述一个事实，并不能显示父女情深。故A项正确。本题可用排除法。

　　3．What can we infer from the passage?

　　A．The relatives were not careful enough and raised the alarm too late.

　　B．No one cared for Natsune at home while her dad was at work.

　　C．The rescuers' delay resulted in the avoidable death.

　　D．Okada had just celebrated Girls' Day with his daughter before he died.

　　答案：B　推理判断题。根据文章第二段第三句“... where she was being looked after

　　while he was at work”可推知，在Okada上班时，没有人照顾女儿。故B项正确。

　　4．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

　　A．9yearold girl made orphan in snowstorm

　　B．Snowstorm takes away 9yearold girl's father

　　C．Father dies sheltering daughter from snowstorm
