【题目】 Ralph Waldo Emerson once quoted that “Nothing great can ever be achieved without enthusiasm.” I have a lot of enthusiasm. This is Northlandz in Flemington, New Jersey. Northlandz is the world’s largest model railroad. Well I guess, you know, everybody has a passion for something, my thing was trains.
I had trains around the Christmas tree as a kid. Wherever I lived I was planning track plans and then over 18 years I added five basements onto the house. And from that I got fairly good at making mountains and bridges and design work and we decided to give it to the world so we tore it all down, bought this land and built Northlandz.
Any given day we run between 85 and 90 trains. Here are some of the details in Northlandz inside—about 40,000 feet of track, and about 4,000 buildings over 400 bridges. Many of the mountains in here are three and a half stories high. Most things in here are scratch built. Underneath the entire superstructure there’s enough lumber to build about 42 large houses. It takes a few hours to go through for the average person to see everything.
We went millions into debt to build this place. Everybody thought we were nuts. The only one that believed in what I wanted to do was my wife and she was totally with me on this big time. It’s an artistic effort. It’s a gift to the world of what I can do and it makes a lot of people happy.

这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者建立世界上最大的铁路模型Northlandz的故事。
【1】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Ralph Waldo Emerson once quoted that “Nothing great can ever be achieved without enthusiasm.” I have a lot of enthusiasm. This is Northlandz in Flemington, New Jersey. Northlandz is the world’s largest model railroad ”可知，拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生曾经引用过这样一句话:“没有热情就不会有任何伟大的成就。”“我也有很大的热情。这就是新泽西州弗莱明顿的Northlandz。Northlandz是世界上最大的铁路模型。由此判断出该段作者引用爱默生的话是想说明他对火车的热情和对创建Northlandz的热情。故选B。
【2】
推理判断题。根据第二段I had trains around the Christmas tree as a kid. Wherever I lived I was planning track plans and then over 18 years I added five basements onto the house.可知，当我还是个孩子的时候，我接围着圣诞树坐火车转。无论我住在哪里，我都在规划轨道规划，然后用了18年的时间，我在房子上加了5个地下室。由此判断出作者从小对火车的喜爱是他创建Northlandz的灵感来源。故选D。

【4】
推理判断题。从最后一段“Everybody thought we were nuts. The only one that believed in what I wanted to do was my wife”可知，每个人都认为我疯了，只有我的妻子信任我。由此判断出，人们对作者致力于建造这个地方的看法是疯狂和怀疑。故选A.

【题目】 Cryonics is the practice of cooling dead organic tissue. This is used on humans or animals that have recently died. The hope is to bring them back to life in the near future. By law, it can only be performed on humans after they are legally dead. Many scientists and doctors think cryonics is totally morally unacceptable. However, there are also many who support cryonics.
Supporters of cryonics hope that future technology will improve. Molecular technology is especially hoped to reverse (逆转) the early stages of clinical death. It is hoped that this will enable the repair of tissue on a very tiny level. It could also allow damaged tissues and organs to regenerate. They also assume that disease and aging will one day be reversible.
These supporters want to store the memory and identity from the brain of people who have recently died. Cryonics attempts to do this by using liquid that preserves the brain. If this is done before cooling, it will prevent injury. This cooling liquid saves the fine cell structures of the brain where memory and identity exist.
Critics of cryonics think this process is a waste of time and money. They base their opinions on the current level of science. It is true that cells, tissues, blood vessels, and some small animal organs can be reversibly preserved. Some frogs can even survive for a few months in a partially frozen state if they are kept a few degrees above freezing. But this is not true cryopreservation. There is no proof that the identity and memory of a person can be restored after death has occurred.
Critics also think that if it were possible to bring dead people back to life, it would cause many social problems. Critics worry it would cause a huge overpopulation problem. Many also think trying to reverse death is immoral because it is against the will of their God.
【1】What can we know about cryonics from paragraph 1?
A.Cryonics is used before people's death.
B.All scientists aren't in favor of the use of cryonics.
C.Laws forbid the use of cryonics on legally dead people.
D.Cryonics tries to cool dead organic tissue by using liquid.
【2】What does the underlined word 'regenerate' in paragraph 2 mean?
A.copy.B.return.
C.freeze.D.regrow.
【3】Why do critics oppose the use of cryonics?
A.It will make people's memory lost.
B.Injury will occur during the process.
C.There is scientific uncertainty about it.
D.It goes along with their religious belief.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.The use of cryonics has a bright future.
B.Cryonics is still a controversial practice.
C.The practice of cryonics is limited by law.
D.There is an advance in medical technology.
