13. With a lot of difficult problems ________, the newly-elected president is having a hard time.
A. settled B. settling

【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:由于许多困难的问题要解决,新当选的总统日子很不好过。动词不定式to settle作定语表示现在或将来要解决的难题;过去分词settled作定语表示已经解决的难题;现在分词的被动式being settled作定语表示正在被解决的难题。所提供的语境the newly-elected president is having a hard time说明新任总统现在和将来都有难以解决的问题,所以要用to settle作定语。故选C项。
【点睛】with结构是许多英语复合结构中最常用的一种。学好它对学好复合宾语结构、不定式复合结构、动名词复合结构和独立主格结构均能起很重要的作用。
with结构:with + 宾语(名词或代词)+ 宾补(介词短语,形容词,副词现在分词,过去分词,不定式),是一个独立主格结构,在句中做状语,可表原因,伴随等。
The teacher came in with a book in his hand.老师手里拿着一本书进来了。
With a lot of work to do, I have no time go out with you.(不定 式表将来动作)有许多工作要做,我没时间和你一起出去。
We found the house easily with the little boy leading the way.(现在分词表示主动动作,即分词所表示动作是由with后的宾语发出来的)
With all the things she needed bought, she went home happily.(过去分词表示被动,with后面的宾语与过去分词之间是被动关系)
14. ________ from the roof of the building, the south foot of the Purple Mountain is covered in a dense of forest of trees.
A. To see B. Seeing C. Seen D. Having seen
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语。句意:从建筑物的屋顶上看,紫金山的南麓被茂密的树林所覆盖。分析句子可知,这里考查非谓语,主语the south foot of the Purple Mountain与see为被动关系,应用过去分词形式作状语。故选C项。

A. that B. one C. a D. so
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查代词词义辨析。句意:我有幸拥有一个快乐的童年,一个大多数人都想拥有的童年。此处指代上文a happy childhood,替代前面有不定冠词的可数名词单数,且表示泛指,应用one,后跟省略关系词的定语从句。故选B。

A year ago, my wife and I sold one of our cars and replaced it with an e-bike. I knew that I was doing something good for the planet. But I still viewed giving up my car as something reserved (保留) for the committed and adventurous people, something that Greenpeace volunteers did to make the world better. I live in Colorado; e-biking would mean freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer. It was the right thing to do, I thought, but it was not going to be fun.
I was very wrong. Before selling our car, I worried most about riding in the cold winter months. But I quickly learned that, as the saying goes, there is no bad weather, only bad clothes I wear gloves, warm socks, and a ski jacket when I ride, and am almost never too cold.
And though I, like many would-be cyclists, was worried about arriving at the office sweaty in hotter months, the e-bike solved my problem. Even when it was 90 degrees outside, I didn’t break a sweat, thanks to my bike’s. pedal-assist mode (脚踏辅助模式) . If I’m honest, sometimes I didn’t even pedal; I just switched to pedal-assist mode, sat back, and enjoyed my ride.
But biking to work wasn’t just pleasant—it was totally enjoyable. One day, shortly after selling our car, I hopped on (跳上) my bike after a stressful day at work and rode home down a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt more connected to the physical environment around me than I had when I’d traveled the same route surrounded by metal and glass. I have to say, this sensation made me happier and healthier.
Of course, e-bikes aren’t going to replace every car on every trip. In a country where uncontrolled stretching of suburbs and malls and unprotected bike paths are the norm, it’s uarealistic to expect e-bikes to replace cars in the way that the Model T (福特旗下汽车) replaced horses. But as an individual, making short trips on an e-bike would likely save money, cut carbon footprints, and improve health and happiness.
41. What did the author initially think of letting go of his car?
A. A healthy move. B. A forced decision.
C. A call of duty. D. A difficult choice.
42. How did the author feel about the actual experience of riding to work?
A. Panicked. B. Amazed. C. Embarrassed. D. Confused.
43. What does the author say about the e-bike?
A. It makes commuting (通勤上下班) in hot weather more enjoyable and less sweaty.
B. It is impractical for daily commuting (通勤上下班) in the cold winter months.
C. Its pedal-assist mode helps the author exercise while commuting.
D. It can keep the author warm when riding it in cold weather.
44. What does the underlined part “this sensation” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Desire to head home faster. B. Interest in exploring new routes.
C. Love for exposure to nature. D. Relief from work stress.
45. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The Model T will be back quickly.
B. E-bikes will replace cars very soon.
C. Cyclists should do more to protect themselves.
D. E-bike asks for friendly transport network.

C
Why you may wonder, should spiders be our friends? Because they destroy so many insects, including some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour (吞食) all our crops and kill our cattle, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animals. We owe a lot to the birds and beast who eat insects, but all of them put together kill only a very small amount of the number destroyed by spiders. Moreover, unlike some of the insect eaters, spiders never do the least harm to us or our belongings.
Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly related to them. One can tell the difference almost at a glance, for a spider always has eight legs and an insect never more than six.
How many spiders are engaged in the work on our behalf? One authority on spiders made a research on spiders and found that there were more than 2,250,000 in one acre; that is something like 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds on a football field. Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects. It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creatures, not content with only three meals a day. It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by the spiders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all human beings in the country.
46. Spiders should be our friends, because ________.
A. they only eat harmful insects
B. they are great insect-eating animals
C. they destroy insects without hurting us in any way
D. they include some of the greatest enemies of the human race
47. One authority on spiders estimated ________.
A. that there were more than 2,250,000 insects in a grass field in the south of England
B. that every football field in England had 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds
C. the number of different spiders in England was very big
D. that the weight of all the insects destroyed by the spiders is more than the weight of human.
48. What does the underlined word “content” mean in the article? It means ________.
A. fed B. discouraged C. disappointed D. satisfied
49. Spiders are active in killing insects ________.
A. all the year B. for most of the year.
C. in the summer month. D. for more than six months of each year.
50. Which one of the following statements is the main idea?
A. Spiders, the greatest insects-eating animals, protect us from being destroyed by harmful insects and they should be our friends.
B. Spiders are not insects but in fact animals.
C. There are great numbers of spiders engaged in destroying harmful insects on behalf of the human race.
D. Birds and beasts can’t compare with spiders as destroyers of insects.
【答案】46. C 47. C 48. D 49. D 50. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蜘蛛应该是我们的朋友,因为它们消灭昆虫而不伤害我们,介绍了蜘蛛的一些习性。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Why you may wonder, should spiders be our friends? Because they destroy so many insects, including some of the greatest enemies of the human race. (你可能会想,蜘蛛应该是我们的朋友吗?因为它们消灭了很多昆虫,包括一些人类最大的敌人)”以及“Moreover, unlike some of the insect eaters, spiders never do the least harm to us or our belongings.(此外,与一些食虫动物不同,蜘蛛对我们或我们的财物不会造成丝毫伤害)”可知,蜘蛛应该是我们的朋友,因为它们消灭昆虫而不伤害我们。故选C。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“One authority on spiders made a research on spiders and found that there were more than 2,250,000 in one acre; that is something like 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds on a football field.(一位研究蜘蛛的权威对蜘蛛进行了研究,发现每英亩有225万只蜘蛛;这相当于600万只不同种类的蜘蛛聚集在一个足球场上)”可知,一位研究蜘蛛的权威估计,英国不同种类的蜘蛛数量非常多。故选C。
【48题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“they are hungry creatures, not(他们是饥饿的生物,不……)”以及后文“with only three meals a day(只有一日三餐)”以及“It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by the spiders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all human beings in the country.(据估计,在英国蜘蛛一年所消灭的昆虫的重量比这个国家所有人的总重量还要重)”可知,蜘蛛一年所消灭的昆虫的重量比这个国家所有人的总重量还要重,说明他们是饥饿的生物,不满足于只有一日三餐。故划线词意思是“满足的”。故选D。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects.(蜘蛛至少有半年的时间都在忙着捕杀昆虫)”可知,蜘蛛每年有6个月以上的时间活跃于捕杀昆虫。故选D。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Why you may wonder, should spiders be our friends? Because they destroy so many insects, including some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour (吞食) all our crops and kill our cattle, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animals.(你可能会想,蜘蛛应该是我们的朋友吗?因为它们消灭了很多昆虫,包括一些人类最大的敌人。昆虫会使我们无法在这个世界上生存;如果我们没有受到以昆虫为食的动物的保护,它们就会吞噬我们所有的庄稼,杀死我们的牲畜)”结合文章主要介绍了蜘蛛应该是我们的朋友,因为它们消灭昆虫而不伤害我们,介绍了蜘蛛的一些习性。可知,文章主旨是蜘蛛是最大的食虫动物,它保护我们不受害虫的伤害,它们应该是我们的朋友。故选A。
D
Science is increasingly central to our lives — from its role in creating day-to-day objects such as the smartphones in our pockets, to the big challenges of tackling disease and focusing on biodiversity loss.
Many of the changes are hugely beneficial but they often come with potential downsides that demand public debate. Will artificial intelligence take people’s jobs or destroy elections with false news? How fast can we practically achieve a net zero economy (零工经济—共享经济的一种形式)?
For the crucial public debate that is needed on all this to take place, we must have a scientifically literate population. But there is a divide between the scientifically minded and those who choose not to engage with science.
It saddens me that our culture now views science as difficult, which discourages many people from taking an interest in it. A British Science Association (BSA) survey recently suggested that only around a third of 14-to-18-year-olds find scientists inspirational or consider the subject to be relevant to their lives.
In fact science is interlinked with every aspect of our existence and people from all walks of life and of all ages should be able to access it easily. The invention of the printing press was crucial to the Enlightenment (启蒙运动) because it democratised (普及) knowledge. So, in this increasingly science-centered world, the same attention should be given to popular science writing as is given to other forms of literature.
The Royal Society Science Book Prize is the only one in the world to promote popular science writing. Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time, which was shortlisted (把……列入入围名单) for the prize in 1989, was written for readers who had no prior knowledge of physics and has since become a universally recognised text on the universe.
Democratising science has never been more important. There are so many scientific stories to be told that can help us better understand ourselves. A society equipped with a solid understanding of the issues of the day is a society more able to respond to them in a better way.
51. What does the underlined part “all this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Beneficial scientific advancements. B. Challenges facing human beings.
C. Potential downsides of science. D. Disagreements between scientists and the public.
52. What does the BSA survey reveal about the majority of British young people?
A. They have great respect for scientists.
B. They feel disconnected from science.
C. They know little about the Enlightenment.
D. They wish to land a career in the scientific field.
53. What can be inferred from paragraph 5?
A. Literature should become a required subject.
B. The printing press needs to be innovated.
C. Fake scientific papers are alarmingly common.
D. More attention should be attached to popular science writing.
54. Why has A Brief History of Time been well-received according to the author?
A. It won an international book prize. B. It focused on important life issues.
C. It was written by a highly-honoured author. D. It democratised knowledge about the universe.
55. What is the best title for the text?
A. The crisis of science in our modern life.
B. We must rely on science to tackle our problems.
C. Popular science books have never been more important.
D. Public debate about science could never be more necessary.
【答案】51. C 52. B 53. D 54. D 55. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了科学普及知识的重要性以及应该如何普及科学知识。
【51题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Many of the changes are hugely beneficial but they often come with potential downsides that demand public debate. Will artificial intelligence take people’s jobs or destroy elections with false news? How fast can we practically achieve a net zero economy (零工经济—共享经济的一种形式)?(许多变化都是非常有益的,但它们往往也有潜在的缺点,需要公众讨论。人工智能会抢走人们的工作,还是会用假新闻破坏选举?我们能以多快的速度实现净零经济?)”以及划线词上文“For the crucial public debate that is needed on”可知,第二段主要列举了科学的一些潜在的缺点,所以此处指为了就科学的潜在弊端展开关键的公开辩论,故划线词指的是“科学的潜在弊端”。故选C。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“A British Science Association (BSA) survey recently suggested that only around a third of 14-to-18-year-olds find scientists inspirational or consider the subject to be relevant to their lives.(英国科学协会(BSA)最近的一项调查显示,在14岁至18岁的年轻人中,只有大约三分之一的人认为科学家鼓舞人心,或者认为这一学科与他们的生活有关)”可知,BSA的调查揭示了大多数英国年轻人觉得与科学脱节。故选B。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“In fact, science is interlinked with every aspect of our existence and people from all walks of life and of all ages should be able to access it easily. The invention of the printing press was crucial to the Enlightenment (启蒙运动) because it democratised (普及) knowledge. So, in this increasingly science-centered world, the same attention should be given to popular science writing as is given to other forms of literature.(事实上,科学与我们生活的方方面面息息相关,各行各业、各个年龄段的人都应该能够轻松接触到科学。印刷机的发明对启蒙运动至关重要,因为它使知识民主化。因此,在这个日益以科学为中心的世界里,我们应该像关注其他形式的文学一样关注科普写作)”可知,应该更多地关注科普写作。故选D。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time, which was shortlisted (把……列入入围名单) for the prize in 1989, was written for readers who had no prior knowledge of physics and has since become a universally recognised text on the universe.(斯蒂芬·霍金的《时间简史》曾在1989年入围诺贝尔文学奖,这本书是为没有物理学知识的读者写的,后来成为一本公认的关于宇宙的书)”可知,《时间简史》在作者看来很受欢迎因为它使关于宇宙的知识民主化。故选D。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Science is increasingly central to our lives—from its role in creating day-to-day objects such as the smartphones in our pockets, to the big challenges of tackling disease and focusing on biodiversity loss.(科学在我们的生活中扮演着越来越重要的角色——从创造我们口袋里的智能手机等日常用品,到应对疾病和关注生物多样性丧失等重大挑战)”结合文章主要论述了科学普及知识的重要性以及应该如何普及科学知识。可知,C选项“科普书籍从未像现在这样重要”最符合文章标题。故选C。

Recently, I successfully defended my dissertation (论文), and my advisor praised my work ethic (职业道德). I thought about that comment and wondered just where that work ethic was established. I believe it was formed in my dad’s tire (轮胎) shop.
Dad purchased his tire business when I was in high school. I began working for Dad. Although I had little experience with things connected with motor vehicles, I determined to learn and work hard. Dad’s early employees were willing to take time to teach me about their trade (手艺). Most days, they were even patient with me.
The work was dirty and physically tiring, but I wanted to aid Dad. My main motivation was to have customers think well of him because of my work ethic. When I was in the shop I was busily engaged. I did not sit around chatting with others, I stayed late and worked at being cheerful and respectful. Anything that helped the business was ultimately helping my dad.
After a day at the tire shop, I was often extremely tired, covered in dirt, but strangely satisfied. Of course, some days were more difficult than others, but the confidence that I had given my all and that my work was meaningful made the pain and effort worthwhile.
Later, Dad retired, and sold the business to my brother, who has expanded it and continues to run it ably. Whenever I return and visit the tire shop, I reminisce about the many cars and trucks I serviced, and the thousands of wheels I fixed. More importantly, I also remember the great feeling of satisfaction that accompanies honest labor.
56. How did the employees in the tire shop treat the author? (no more than 8words)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
57. What motivated the author to help his father in the shop? (no more than10 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
58. How did the author feel after a day at the tire shop? (no more than 5words)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
59. What does the underlined phrase “reminisce about” in the last paragraph mean? (1 word)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
60. What can you learn from the author’s story? Put it in your own words. (no more than 25 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. They treated him with patience.
57. To have customers appreciate his father’s work.
58. Tired but satisfied.
59. Recall.
60. I learn what is work ethic, and in the further I will try my best to do my job and leave a good impression on customers.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过在父亲轮胎店的工作,形成了良好的职业道德,并对此进行了回忆和反思。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第二段最后一句“Most days, they were even patient with me.(在大多数日子里,他们甚至对我都很有耐心)”可知,轮胎店的员工对待作者是很有耐心的,故答案是They treated him with patience.
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第三段第二句“My main motivation was to have customers think well of him because of my work ethic.(我的主要动机是让顾客因为我的职业道德而对他有好感)”可知,作者帮助父亲在店里工作是为了让顾客欣赏他父亲的工作,故答案是To have customers appreciate his father’s work.
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第四段第一句“After a day at the tire shop, I was often extremely tired, covered in dirt, but strangely satisfied.(在轮胎店工作一天后,我常常感到极度疲惫,浑身是泥,但奇怪的是却感到满足)可知,作者感到疲惫但满足,故答案是Tired but satisfied.
【59题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据下文“More importantly, I also remember the great feeling of satisfaction that accompanies honest labor.(更重要的是,我还记得诚实劳动所带来的那种巨大的满足感)”中的also可知,上文也包含“记得”的意思,由此可知,划线词所在句子意为“每当我回到轮胎店,我就会回忆起我曾服务过的许多汽车和卡车,以及我曾修理过的成千上万的轮子”,故“reminisce about”的意思是“想起,记得”,与recall意思接近。故答案是:Recall.
【60题详解】
开放性试题。言之有理,注意词数。例如:文章第一段提到作者成功地完成了论文答辩,导师称赞了他的职业道德,作者认为这种职业道德是在他父亲的轮胎店中形成的,接下来文章描述了作者如何在轮胎店工作,如何努力帮助父亲赢得顾客的认可,以及这种经历给他带来的满足感。从这个故事中,我们可以学到什么是职业道德,以及在未来如何尽力做好工作,给顾客留下好印象。故答案是I learn what is work ethic, and in the further I will try my best to do my job and leave a good impression on customers.

Northeast Minneapolis Arts District
Centered around the Northrup King Building, the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District in Minneapolis is home to 18 artist studio buildings where 1,200 artists work. The district’s annual event, Art-A-Whirl, brings together over 1,000 artists, galleries, mini-workshops, bands, businesses, and restaurants every year.
Philadelphia
Philadelphia is known as the city of street art. Mural Arts Philadelphia was founded in 1984 to empower professional artists to showcase their talents.

A highlight is the Love Letter project, a series of 50 rooftop murals visible from the Market-Frankford line.
Wonderspaces
As an interactive and immersive (沉浸式的) art show, Wonderspaces aims to help art reach new audiences. It does this by working with artists, setting up their shows in places that aren’t traditionally created to display art, and serving those who wouldn’t otherwise seek art. They can be found in multiple cities such as Scottsdale, Philadelphia, San Diego and Austin.
Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park

B
A year ago, my wife and I sold one of our cars and replaced it with an e-bike. I knew that I was doing something good for the planet. But I still viewed giving up my car as something reserved (保留) for the committed and adventurous people, something that Greenpeace volunteers did to make the world better. I live in Colorado; e-biking would mean freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer. It was the right thing to do, I thought, but it was not going to be fun.
I was very wrong. Before selling our car, I worried most about riding in the cold winter months. But I quickly learned that, as the saying goes, there is no bad weather, only bad clothes I wear gloves, warm socks, and a ski jacket when I ride, and am almost never too cold.
And though I, like many would-be cyclists, was worried about arriving at the office sweaty in hotter months, the e-bike solved my problem. Even when it was 90 degrees outside, I didn’t break a sweat, thanks to my bike’s. pedal-assist mode (脚踏辅助模式) . If I’m honest, sometimes I didn’t even pedal; I just switched to pedal-assist mode, sat back, and enjoyed my ride.
But biking to work wasn’t just pleasant—it was totally enjoyable. One day shortly after selling our car, I hopped on (跳上) my bike after a stressful day at work and rode home down a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt more connected to the physical environment around me than I had when I’d traveled the same route surrounded by metal and glass. I have to say, this sensation made me happier and healthier.
Of course, e-bikes aren’t going to replace every car on every trip. In a country where uncontrolled stretching of suburbs and malls and unprotected bike paths are the norm, it’s uarealistic to expect e-bikes to replace cars in the way that the Model T (福特旗下汽车) replaced horses. But as an individual, making short trips on an e-bike would likely save money, cut carbon footprints, and improve health and happiness.
41. What did the author initially think of letting go of his car?
A. A healthy move. B. A forced decision.
C. A call of duty. D. A difficult choice.
42. How did the author feel about the actual experience of riding to work?
A. Panicked. B. Amazed. C. Embarrassed. D. Confused.
43. What does the author say about the e-bike?
A. It makes commuting (通勤上下班) in hot weather more enjoyable and less sweaty.
B. It is impractical for daily commuting (通勤上下班) in the cold winter months.
C. Its pedal-assist mode helps the author exercise while commuting.
D. It can keep the author warm when riding it in cold weather.
44. What does the underlined part “this sensation” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Desire to head home faster. B. Interest in exploring new routes.
C. Love for exposure to nature. D. Relief from work stress.
45. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The Model T will be back quickly.
B. E-bikes will replace cars very soon.
C. Cyclists should do more to protect themselves.
D. E-bike asks for friendly transport network.
C
Why you may wonder, should spiders be our friends? Because they destroy so many insects, including some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour (吞食) all our crops and kill our cattle, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animals. We owe a lot to the birds and beast who eat insects, but all of them put together kill only a very small amount of the number destroyed by spiders. Moreover, unlike some of the insect eaters, spiders never do the least harm to us or our belongings.
Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly related to them. One can tell the difference almost at a glance, for a spider always has eight legs and an insect never more than six.
How many spiders are engaged in the work on our behalf? One authority on spiders made a research on spiders and found that there were more than 2,250,000 in one acre; that is something like 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds on a football field. Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects. It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creatures, not content with only three meals a day. It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by the spiders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all human beings in the country.
46. Spiders should be our friends, because ________.
A. they only eat harmful insects
B. they are great insect-eating animals
C. they destroy insects without hurting us in any way
D. they include some of the greatest enemies of the human race
47. One authority on spiders estimated ________.
A. that there were more than 2,250,000 insects in a grass field in the south of England
B. that every football field in England had 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds
C the number of different spiders in England was very big
D. that the weight of all the insects destroyed by the spiders is more than the weight of human.
48. What does the underlined word “content” mean in the article? It means ________.
A. fed B. discouraged C. disappointed D. satisfied
49. Spiders are active in killing insects ________.
A. all the year B. for most of the year.
C. in the summer month. D. for more than six months of each year.
50. Which one of the following statements is the main idea?
A. Spiders, the greatest insects-eating animals, protect us from being destroyed by harmful insects and they should be our friends.
B. Spiders are not insects but in fact animals.
C. There are great numbers of spiders engaged in destroying harmful insects on behalf of the human race.
D. Birds and beasts can’t compare with spiders as destroyers of insects.
D
Science is increasingly central to our lives — from its role in creating day-to-day objects such as the smartphones in our pockets, to the big challenges of tackling disease and focusing on biodiversity loss.
Many of the changes are hugely beneficial but they often come with potential downsides that demand public debate. Will artificial intelligence take people’s jobs or destroy elections with false news? How fast can we practically achieve a net zero economy (零工经济—共享经济的一种形式)?
For the crucial public debate that is needed on all this to take place, we must have a scientifically literate population. But there is a divide between the scientifically minded and those who choose not to engage with science.
It saddens me that our culture now views science as difficult, which discourages many people from taking an interest in it. A British Science Association (BSA) survey recently suggested that only around a third of 14-to-18-year-olds find scientists inspirational or consider the subject to be relevant to their lives.
In fact, science is interlinked with every aspect of our existence and people from all walks of life and of all ages should be able to access it easily. The invention of the printing press was crucial to the Enlightenment (启蒙运动) because it democratised (普及) knowledge. So, in this increasingly science-centered world, the same attention should be given to popular science writing as is given to other forms of literature.
The Royal Society Science Book Prize is the only one in the world to promote popular science writing. Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time, which was shortlisted (把……列入入围名单) for the prize in 1989, was written for readers who had no prior knowledge of physics and has since become a universally recognised text on the universe.
Democratising science has never been more important. There are so many scientific stories to be told that can help us better understand ourselves. A society equipped with a solid understanding of the issues of the day is a society more able to respond to them in a better way.
51. What does the underlined part “all this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Beneficial scientific advancements. B. Challenges facing human beings.
C. Potential downsides of science. D. Disagreements between scientists and the public.
52. What does the BSA survey reveal about the majority of British young people?
A. They have great respect for scientists.
B. They feel disconnected from science.
C. They know little about the Enlightenment.
D. They wish to land a career in the scientific field.
53. What can be inferred from paragraph 5?
A. Literature should become a required subject.
B. The printing press needs to be innovated.
C. Fake scientific papers are alarmingly common.
D. More attention should be attached to popular science writing.
54. Why has A Brief History of Time been well-received according to the author?
A. It won an international book prize. B. It focused on important life issues.
C. It was written by a highly-honoured author. D. It democratised knowledge about the universe.
55. What is the best title for the text?
A. The crisis of science in our modern life.
B. We must rely on science to tackle our problems.
C. Popular science books have never been more important.
D. Public debate about science could never be more necessary.

Recently, I successfully defended my dissertation (论文), and my advisor praised my work ethic (职业道德). I thought about that comment and wondered just where that work ethic was established. I believe it was formed in my dad’s tire (轮胎) shop.
Dad purchased his tire business when I was in high school. I began working for Dad. Although I had little experience with things connected with motor vehicles, I determined to learn and work hard. Dad’s early employees were willing to take time to teach me about their trade (手艺). Most days, they were even patient with me.
The work was dirty and physically tiring, but I wanted to aid Dad. My main motivation was to have customers think well of him because of my work ethic. When I was in the shop I was busily engaged. I did not sit around chatting with others, I stayed late and worked at being cheerful and respectful. Anything that helped the business was ultimately helping my dad.
After a day at the tire shop, I was often extremely tired, covered in dirt, but strangely satisfied. Of course, some days were more difficult than others, but the confidence that I had given my all and that my work was meaningful made the pain and effort worthwhile.
Later, Dad retired, and sold the business to my brother, who has expanded it and continues to run it ably. Whenever I return and visit the tire shop, I reminisce about the many cars and trucks I serviced, and the thousands of wheels I fixed. More importantly, I also remember the great feeling of satisfaction that accompanies honest labor.
56. How did the employees in the tire shop treat the author? (no more than 8words)
