阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Succeed in Science To succeed in science, you need a lot more than luck．In my view, you have to combine intelligence with willingness not to follow conventions when they block your path forward．Thus, these have come to be my rules for success． •　36　 That might sound proud, but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than yourself．It's like playing any game．Even as a child, I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was．If you win, it gives you no pleasure．And in the game of science or life, the highest goal isn't simply to win; it's to win at something really difficult．　37　 •Take risks． To make a huge success, a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble．If you are going to make a huge jump in science, you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition．　38　 This can be more than personally upsetting． •Never do anything that bores you． My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things, and then leave you alone．I'm not good enough to do well in something I dislike．　39　 It's very hard to succeed if you don't want to be with other scientists—you have to go to key meetings where you find key facts that would have escaped you．And you have to chat with your competitors, even if you find them unpleasant．So my final rule is：　40　 A．Avoid foolish people． B．Meet challenges with great courage． C．In fact, I find it hard to do well in something I like． D．If you can't stand to be with your real peers, get out of science． E．Be sure you always have someone to save you from a deep mess． F．Besides, you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes． G．Put another way, it's to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top． 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自我/善于学习。本文为说明文，介绍了在科学研究方面如何取得成功的三个建议。 36．答案　A 解析　总分关系。空处为本段小标题。根据下文可知，我们要向比我们更聪明的人求助，A项“避开愚蠢的人”可以作为小标题，概括本段内容，故选A项。 37．答案　G 解析　解释关系。根据上文可知，在科学中最高的目标不是获胜，而是战胜困难。G项(换句话说，就是去超出你能力范围的某个地方，然后拔得头筹)符合语境，是上文的另一个说法，故选G项。 38．答案　F 解析　并列关系。根据小标题Take risks和上文可知，如果想在科学方面取得飞跃，可能要不走寻常路，要有质疑精神，不要迷信以前的成功者。F项(此外，你要准备好不相信心目中的英雄人物)符合语境，上下文都属于“冒险”的范畴，故选F项。 39．答案　C 解析　对照关系。自己不喜欢的事情不容易做好。C项(事实上，我发现在我喜欢的事情上很难做好)与上文承接自然，指即使自己喜欢的事情也很难做好，故选C项。 40．答案　D 解析　概括关系。根据上文可知，此处表示如果你不想和其他科学家在一起，你就很难成功，故选D项。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Farming and Gardening Agriculture has a long history in China．Much of the wisdom 　41　 by early Chinese scientists is still useful for farmers and gardeners today．One of China's early 　42　 scientists was Jia Sixie, who lived in the sixth century AD．He spent his time doing research into agriculture．He collected information, studied it, did experiments and learnt from the 　43　 of farmers． Around 540 AD, he wrote a book called Qimin Yaoshu．The book is about both farming and 　44　．It includes advice on the following subjects：growing green vegetables and fruit trees, keeping animals, and fish in lakes．There are also 　45　 for making wine．Jia Sixie's book is a(n) 　46　 guide for farming．Firstly, as a farmer you should do things at the right time of the year．If you sow seeds and 　47　 young plants in the fields at the correct time of the year, your work will be less and the results will be better．But if you 　48　 nature and do things at the wrong time of the year, you will have to do more work and the results will not be so good．The 　49　 of the soil is also very important．Examine the soil on your farm 　50　．If the condition of your soil is not good, you should improve it．Before sowing or planting crops, you must clean rough ground and remove weeds．Let sheep or cows walk on the land to 　51　 the weeds or eat them．The best harvest is reached when farmers 　52　 the crops in their fields．For example, do not plant rice year after year in the same field．But if you plant rice in a field one year and wheat in the field the next year, you will 　53　 good crops．Other scientists said that wheat should be planted with 　54　 between the plants, but Jia did experiments and 　55　 that planting wheat close together is better． 41． A．discovered B．recovered C．reported D．proved 42．A．industrial B．agricultural C．cultural D．article 43．A．adventures B．findings

51．A．destroy B．defend C．transform D．limit 52．A．keep B．improve C．manage D．change 53．A．link B．collect C．harvest D．plant 54．A．holes B．lines C．space D．balance 55．A．showed B．meant C．intended D．decided 语篇导读 主题语境：人与社会/历史、社会与文化。本文为说明文，主要介绍了我国古代农业科学家贾思勰对我国古代农业的研究和贡献。 41．答案　A 解析　中国早期科学家发现(discover)的许多智慧对今天的农民和园丁仍然有用。 42．答案　B 解析　贾思勰是中国早期的农业(agricultural)科学家之一，他生活在公元六世纪。industrial工业的；cultural文化的；article文章，物件。 43．答案　D 解析　他收集信息、研究它、做实验，并从农民的经验(experience)中学习。 44．答案　B 解析　这本书是关于农业和园艺(gardening)的。 45．答案　A 解析　还有酿造葡萄酒的说明(instruction)。construction建造；measure措施；framework框架。 46．答案　B 解析　贾思勰的书是一本实用的(practical)农业指南。 economical经济的；contradictory对立的；regular有规律的。 47．答案　C 解析　如果你在一年中正确的时间在地里播种，种植幼苗，你的工作量就会减少，结果会更好。和空前的sow seeds并列用grow young plants，意为“种植幼苗”。 48．答案　B 解析　但是如果你违背(go against)自然，在一年中的错误时间做事情，你将不得不做更多的工作，结果将不会那么好。argue against反对；compete with与……竞争；subscribe to 赞同，订阅。 49．答案　C 解析　土壤的状况(condition)也非常重要。application应用程序；situation形势；intervention 介入；出面。 50．答案　B 解析　仔细(carefully)检查你农场的土壤。 51．答案　A 解析　让牛羊在地里走是为了破坏(destroy)杂草或者吃掉杂草。 52．答案　D 解析　当农民改变(change)田地里的作物时，就会获得最好的收成。 53．答案　C 解析　如果每年换种不同的庄稼就会有好收成。harvest good crops意为“收成好”。 54．答案　C 解析　结合between the plants和下文planting wheat close together is better可知，从词语搭配考虑，本句指的是“种植小麦时， 株与株之间要留有空间”，而非留有线、洞或平衡，因此选space。 55．答案　A 解析　其他科学家说，小麦应该种植在植物之间的空间，但贾做了实验，结果表明(show)，小麦种植在一起更好。 第二节(共10小题；每小题1．5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 When I think of a “mad genius”， no one deserves the title more than Nikola Tesla．Born in Austria in 1856, this scientist is not just an engineer, but an inventor and 　56　(explore) of the many mysteries of the world． To begin with, Tesla possessed an 　57　(objective) brilliant mind．He was blessed with the gift of a photographic memory．When inspiration 　58　(strike), he was capable of visualizing the idea from concept to design, not needing to pen it down． 　59　(work) entirely from memory, he would be able to build the device 　60　 referring to any notes at all．If this was not 　61　(amaze) enough, he was fluent in eight different languages． As an inventor, his experiments at that time 　62　(see) as remarkably far-fetched, and must have seemed like magic．His innovative ideas would ultimately set the groundwork for the next generation of scientists．Indeed, many of his 300 　63　(register) patents contributed to the creation of widespread technology today such as the radio, X-Ray machine and wireless technology．Tesla even predicted 　64　 birth of the smartphone．His forward-looking ideas have earned him the label of a futurist—one 　65　 explores the possibilities of the future． 语篇导读 主题语境：人与社会/对社会有突出贡献的人物。本文为人物传记，主要介绍Nikola Tesla的生平和主要成就。 56．答案　explorer　 解析　考查词性转换。根据an inventor and可知，此处应填名词且意为“探索者”，故填explorer。 57．答案　objectively　 解析　考查词性转换。 句意：首先，特斯拉拥有一个客观上非常聪明的头脑。空处作状语修饰形容词brilliant，应用副词形式，意为“客观地”，故填objectively。 58．答案　struck　 解析　考查时态。句意：当灵感来临时，他能够将想法从概念到设计可视化，不需要写下来。根据was可知，此处应用一般过去时，故填struck。 59．答案　Working　 解析　考查非谓语动词。句意：完全凭记忆，他可以完全不参考任何笔记就能制造出设备。句中已有谓语，空处用非谓语动词，he和work之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词表主动，且句首单词首字母应大写，故填Working。 60．答案　without　 解析　考查介词。句意参见上题解析。根据上下文可知，此处表示“他可以完全不参考任何笔记就能制造出设备”，空处意为“不，没有”，根据空后referring可知，空处用介词without。 61．答案　amazing　 解析　考查词性转换。空处作表语，且修饰experiments，故填形容词amazing。 62．答案　were seen　 解析　考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：作为一个发明家，他的实验在当时被认为是非常牵强的，看起来一定像魔术一样。此处experiments与see为逻辑上的动宾关系，句子用被动语态；根据at that time可知，句子描述过去的事情，此处应用一般过去时的被动语态；主语experiments是复数，故填were seen。 63．答案　registere 解析　考查非谓语动词。句意：事实上，在他注册的300项专利中，有许多为今天广泛使用的技术的发明做出了贡献，比如无线电、X光机和无线技术。此处patents与register为逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词形式，表示“注册的”，故填registered。 64．答案　the　 解析　考查冠词。此处特指智能手机的诞生，故填the。 65．答案　who　 解析　考查引导词。句意：他前瞻性的想法为他赢得了未来主义者的标签——一个探索未来可能性的人。空处引导定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词one指人，故填who。 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 假如你是李华，你校英文报科学板块正在征稿，征稿主题为“What Makes a Great Scientist？”请你写一篇文章进行投稿。 内容：1．给出你的观点；2．举例说明。 要求：词数80左右。 One possible version： What Makes a Great Scientist? As the saying goes, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration．” From my point of view, it is perspiration that makes a great scientist．Take the Chinese scientist Tu Youyou for example．After looking up hundreds of Chinese medical texts and doing many experiments，Tu finally discovered artemisinin despite failing more than 190 times, which helped save millions of lives．There is no doubt that perspiration plays an important role in Tu's success and she deserves the Nobel Prize． 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Peter woke up early in the morning．He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have breakfast as quickly as possible． “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird？” Mom asked him． “We will have an English spelling test today, Mom，” Peter said． “Mr White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100．” Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school．At last, it was time for the students to have a test． “Responsibility，” Mr White started．Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently． “The second word：contribution，” Mr White said． “So easy，” Peter thought．He quickly wrote the word down．Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr White．After marking the test papers, Mr White said, “Three of you win prizes today for excellent test scores．Peter, David and Mary get 100 on the spelling test！” Mr White praised them．Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary．Peter's was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best．Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered． After Mr White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling．All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him．It didn't seem right．Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list．It turned out that he had spelled it wrong． Staring at the red sign “100” which was written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought．After a while, he remembered a lesson Mom used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person．” 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 One possible version： Slowly, Peter raised his hand． “Mr White, I didn't get 100 marks on the test．I missed a word．” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper．“I spelled ‘contribution’ with ‘si’ instead of ‘ti’．” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him in surprise as he walked back to his desk．Mr White held up Peter's test paper．“Class，” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test．” Mr White smiled at Peter．“He taught us all a lesson on being honest．” Peter didn't expect that his teacher would praise him for being honest．He looked around, finding many of his classmates were smiling at him． “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us，” Mr White said．Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr White．Meanwhile, he couldn't wait to show it to Mom and tell her one of his best days ever． 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
