请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
(2024·盐城高三二模)What would it take, I wondered, to break the ice between neighbors? I thought about childhood sleepovers and what I used to get from waking up inside a friends home. Would my neighbors let me sleep over and write about their lives from inside their own houses?
I began to telephone my neighbors and send email messages; in some cases, I just walked up to the door and rang the bell. The first ones turned me down, but then I called Lou. “You can write about me, but it will be boring，” he warned. “I have nothing going on in my life — nothing. My life is zero. I don’t do anything.”
That turned out not to be true. When Lou finally awoke that morning at 6：18, he and I shared breakfast. Then he lay on a sofa in his study and, skipping his morning nap, told me about his grandparents immigration, his big Catholic family, his admission to medical school despite the discrimination against Italians, and how he met and finally married his wife, built a career and raised their children.
Later, we went to the Y．M.C.A. for his regular workout; he mostly just chatted with friends. We ate lunch. He took a nap. We watched the business news. That evening, he made us dinner and talked of friends he had lost, his concerns for his children’s futures and his own life after his wife passed away.
Before I left, Lou told me how to get into his house in case of an emergency, and I told him where I hid my spare key. That evening, as I carried my bag home, I felt that in my neighbor’s house lived a person I actually knew.
36．What idea did the author come up with to break the ice between neighbors?
A．Meeting his neighbors every day in the Y．M.C.A.
B．Knocking at his neighbors doors as often as possible.
C．Staying the night at his neighbors and learning about their lives.
D．Sending messages or emails to his neighbors to introduce his book.
37．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The author found Lous life quite boring.
B．Lou was educated to be a medical professional.
C．The author made friends with Lou after the sleepover.
D．Lou told the author many of the important moments in his life.
B
(2024·扬州第二次调研)As the death rate from the Ebola outbreak rises and the number of cases increases, concern is growing over the measures in place to control the deadly virus.
The battle against Ebola has already reduced the health systems in affected countries to struggling. What is being done to treat those infected and stop the disease from spreading?
Here we show how an Ebola treatment facility run by medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) operates.
The treatment centre is designed to separate confirmed Ebola patients from probable or likely cases.
Upon entry, patients are examined by medical staff protected by full protective equipment.
Following the initial diagnosis (诊断), they are then split into low or high probability wards until the laboratory results come in, which could take anything from a few hours to days, depending on the facility.
There is little that medical workers can do for their patients, as there is no cure for Ebola. All they can help with is to care for the patients and treat symptoms, as well as wash and comfort them.
According to MSF, good care increases the chances of survival from a disease that has a 50% death rate. However, overcrowded facilities and a shortage of staff have made this difficult so far.
________________________
When coming into contact with patients, or entering areas where contamination (污染) risk is high, medical workers always use special protective equipment and follow special procedures.
Medical staff are advised to wear the equipment for no longer than an hour at a time due to the high temperatures that can build up in the suit.
Health workers face increased risks in the battle against Ebola, and more than 400 have already got infected since its outbreak. More than half, 232, died from the virus.
International response
The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that there is still a significant lack of beds in Sierra Leone and Liberia, and the number is expected to rise.
With patients being turned away from treatment centres because of the lack of beds and space, additional treatment centres are desperately needed. The UK is sending 750 military personnel to Sierra Leone. The United States has promised to build 18 Ebola treatment centres, as well as sending up to 3,000 troops.
Attempts to send more health workers and open new Ebola treatment centres in the worstaffected countries are gathering pace.
38．What is the procedure adopted in an MSF treatment centre to deal with an Ebola patient according to the passage?
①Care and treatment
②Admission to wards separately
③Examination and diagnosis
④Comfort and cure
A．③②④
B．①③②
C．②④③
D．③②①
39．Which is the most suitable subtitle for Paragraphs 9, 10 and 11?
A．Taking necessary risks
B．Treating Ebola victims
C．Protecting medical staff
D．Providing special equipment
40．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Many affected countries have their health systems under severe challenge.
B．WHOs attempts to open new Ebola treatment centres are slowing down.
C．People show increasing concern about actions taken to fight the disease.
D．Efforts are made internationally to help bring the disease under control.

(2024·南京三校联考)Ancient volcanic eruptions in Australia 510 million years ago significantly affected the climate, causing the first known mass extinction (灭绝) in the history of complex life, according to research published in Geology.Professor Jourdan from Curtin University?s Department of Applied Geology, along with colleagues from several Australian and international institutions, used radioactive dating techniques to precisely measure the age of the eruptions of the Kalkarindji volcanic province, where lavas covered an area of more than 2 million km2 in the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The researchers found that the volcanic eruptions happened at the same time as the EarlyMiddle Cambrian extinction 510511 million years ago — the first extinction to wipe out complex life.
“It has been welldocumented that this extinction, which eradicated 50% of species (物种), was related to climate changes and reduction of oxygen in the oceans, but the exact process was not known until now，” Jourdan said. “We were not only able to prove that the Kalkarindji volcanic eruptions took place at the exact same time as the Cambrian extinction, but we were also able to measure a reduction of sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫) from the province’s volcanic rocks — which indicates sulfur was released into the atmosphere during the eruptions.”
