An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare type of blood for 56 years has saved the lives of more than two million babies.

James Harrison has an antibody in his plasma that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease, a form of severe anaemia. He has enabled countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies, including his own daughter, Tracy, who had a healthy son thanks to her father’s blood.

Mr. Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18 years old and has now racked up a total of 984 donations. When he started donating, his blood was deemed so special that his life was insured for one million Australian dollars.

He was also nicknamed the“man with the golden arm”or the“man in two million”. He said,“I’ve never thought about stopping. Never.”He made a pledge to be a donor aged 14 after undergoing major chest surgery in which he needed

13 litres of blood.“I was in hospital for three months.”he said.“The blood I received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18.”

Just after he started donating he was found to have the rare and life-saving antibody in his blood. At the time, thousands of babies in Australia were dying each year of Rhesus disease. Other newborns suffered permanent brain damage because of the condition. The disease creates an incompatibility between the 4. The sentence“The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother’s blood and her unborn baby’s blood.”(underlined in Paragraph 5) suggests that__________.

A. babies suffer permanent brain damage before born

B. the mother and the baby have different types of blood

C. Rhesus disease contributes to permanent brain mother’s blood and her unborn baby’s blood. It stems from one having Rh-positive blood and the other Rh-negative.

His blood has since led to the development of a vaccine called Anti-D. After his blood type was discovered, Mr. Harrison volunteered to undergo a series of tests to help develop the Anti-D vaccine.“They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of,”he said.“I wasn’t scared. I was glad to help. I had to sign every form going and basically sign my life away.”

Mr. Harrison is Rh-negative and was given injections of Rh-positive blood. It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women. It has also been given to babies after they are born to stop them developing the disease.

It is estimated that he has helped save 2.2 million babies’ lives so far. Mr. Harrison is still donating every few weeks now. 1. How old is Harrison? A. 56. B. 70. C. 74. D. 78.

2. What does the underlined phrase“two million”

refer to? A. Babies. B. Mothers. C. Dollars.

D. All of the above. 3. Why did James decide to donate his blood?

Because __________.

A. his daughter asked him to help her son B. he has a golden arm worth a million dollars C. a vaccine called Anti-D is to be developed D. someone else’s blood saved his life

damage

D. all the patients have a rare antibody in their blood

5. What can we infer from the sixth paragraph? A. Some of the tests to develop the vaccine are dangerous.

B. His wife Barbara needed to be taken care of badly then.

C. Mr. Harrison was glad to help develop a new vaccine.

D. His blood type was accidentally discovered after tests. Ⅴ.任务型阅读

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In Sept. 1923, Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. One of the most serious earthquakes was in China’s Shanxi Province in 1556. It killed almost one million people.

We measure an earthquake’s strength on the Richter scale. The Richter scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA. It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.

The earth’s crust (地壳) is made up of layers of rock called plates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such as Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are

designed to be flexible so when the earth moves, they move with it.

Earthquakes can also break up gas or oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.

Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis (海啸). These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many metres high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities.

China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence (发生) of earthquakes in the world. Knowing about 1. _________ Two serious An earthquake and the following fires 3. _________ both Tokyo and Yokohama in Sept. 1923. In 1556, a very serious earthquake Some earthquakes 9.
