Indiana health officials confirmed the state first death from a vaping-related lung illness, bringing the national

33、 toll to three, after two such deaths in Illinois and in Oregon. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced that the number of people in the USsickened with a severe lung illness linked to vaping (電子水煙 )has more than doubled to 450possible cases in 33 states, including three

34、deaths confirmed in connection with these illnesses and a possible fourth. Many of the patients are teens or young adults. All patients reported using e-cigarettes and many used the devices to vape marijuana.高三英語試卷第6頁共13頁So far, the cause of the illnesses is unknown: no single vaping device, product

35、 or substance has been tied to all of the cases, said Dr Dana Meaney- Delman, the manager of the CDC s investigation. Officials believe “ chemicaexposure “is likely to be behind these illnesses, but much more information is needed.The CDC announcement coincided with the release of several new report

36、s on vaping-related illnesses. One, published in The New England Journal Of Medicine , describes 53 patients fromWisconsin and Illinois who developed respiratory （呼吸道的）symptoms after vaping. Most ofthese patients were young, male and healthy prior to their illness. Patients had symptoms such as shor

37、tness of breath, coughing and chest pain, vomiting, fever and weight loss. All of the patients had vaped within the previous three months, and 84 per cent reported vaping marijuana products.The report seems to suggest that vaping-related lung illnesses are a new phenomenon, and not something that si

38、mply went undetected in the past. The rate of monthly emergency room visits for severe lung illness in young adults was twice as high in June to August 2019 as the same months in 2018, the study found.The CDC recommends that people consider not using e-cigarettes while the investigation is ongoing,

39、and e-cigarettes should not be used by children or adolescents, young adults, pregnant women or adults who currently don t use tobacco products.Why does the author consider the vaping-related lung illnesses mysterious?Many suspected cases and deaths have arisen all of a sudden.No specific device or

40、chemical has been confirmed in connection.There is no cure for the disease and the victims may well bitterly die.Such cases and deaths are distributed in states distant from each other.What can we infer from the coincidence between CDC announcement and several new reports?Illinois is the state that

41、has the largest number of victims in the US.The vaping-related lung disease is totally arbitrary and out of control.There may exist a close bond between the illness and vaping experience.Officials from CDC and authors of the reports have figured out the causes.What is the best title for this passage

42、?A. Alarm at Vaping DevicesB. Dangers of Lung DiseasesC. Shock of Mysterious DeathsD.

We have a long list of things that have to be achieved and we can get so lost in all of these that we forget to do the other things that can boost both our careers and productivity. The summertime, h

45、owever, sees managers on holiday and an attitude of“ nothingwill get decided on until September” , which means this is the perfect time to focus on you.The main thing I ve learned over my yeawooking is to use this period to recharge, even if you re not actually on holiday. I vividly remember complai

46、ning to a friend once of being bored during August. After she d rolled her eyesrab lthris, none suggested thatperhaps this time was slow because I was supposed to be focusing on something other than work.I could leave on time and have life outside of the office. Making time to see my friends or fina

47、lly seeing the exhibitions I d been putting off for months recharged me, and when theideda kwas ready for it.So much of our working life is about relationships, yet we sacrifice these to raise productivity. It may be more beneficial to a work relationship to take a colleague for a coffee, but it s q

48、uickerrte oiff an email, so we do that. In the summer, suggesting a walk in the sunshine, while you talk about how to deal with that tricky client, suddenly seems like the best way to work. The-hopefully-warm weather makes all of us unreserved, so use this to your advantage. Are there people you ve

49、really wanted to meet but they ve always been tooAnd finally, if you already know that, come September, you re going topushing for that pay rise or new job you promised yourself, then now is the time to ensure that you ve got all the evidence to make your case.

50、r projects when your boss is away can give you the experience you need to take the next step. Use the summer wisely and, by the end of it, you be the employee with a new plan of action and a contacts book filled with new best friends.The reason why the author counts a summer break as a gift is thati

53、Recharging yourself with much energy.Developing new friendships and action plans.DDetective fiction is something that gained popularity comparatively later than all other高三英語試卷第8頁共13頁genres in literature. There might be some works that existed in historic time that could now be identified as detecti

54、ve fiction, but the works that were introduced solely as this genre began with the writings of Edgar Allan Poe and Wilkie Collins. Of course, today when we talk about detective fictions, the works of Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie come foremost. Their stories are those that have given an edg

55、e to this genre due to its popularity.Being a passionate reader of Doyle and Christie, I would like to draw a comparison between the styles used by Doyle in Sherlock series and Christie in her mystery thrillers. Both of them use a specific pattern for their detective stories. Doyle mostly develops t

56、he story from a helpless client s visit to 221B Baker Street. All the accounts of the cases are narrated by Watson except two pieces. Christie wosks in a way look completely different as the stories and settings are varied and quite unique. But we can always see that there is a basic formula in her

57、works. A murder happens and all the characters in the plot, mostly people around the victim, have something to be suspected of, some secrets that they hold back, all of which are set up to totally confuse the reader.Christie s novels are all about“ who is the murderer ” , but while reading Sherlock

58、a rmore interested in knowing how Sherlock finds the criminal. It is the method Sherlock employs to deduce the facts and to connect the dots that readers await to know. This can be understood just by thinking how every Sherlock reader waits for that part where Sherlock explains the facts to Watson w

59、ho shares the reader s ignorance. When we reach the same crucial point in Christie works, what our eyes search for is the name the name of the murderer. All the explanations, logic and reasoning interest us only later.Christie has used various types of narrative techniques in different novels. There

60、 has been a set of novels where there is omniscient narration （ 敘述者全知 ），others with Hastings （Hercule Poirot ;assistant） as the narrator, and even some in first-person narrative. She introduced many detectives, Poirot being the most popular. On the other hand, Doyle had only Sherlock as detective in
