As the first African American woman to receive a medical degree in America, Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler challenged the prejudice that prevented African Americans and women from following medical careers.
Born in 1831 in Christiana, Delaware, Crumpler spent her childhood in Pennsylvania with an aunt, who frequently cared for sick neighbors, and Crumpler went with her on these trips. In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.”
In 1852, Crumpler moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, to begin her medical career as a nurse. In the early 1850s, there was no formal school where one could become licensed to practice nursing. Even so, Crumpler assisted several doctors in Boston for eight years. They in turn supported her application to the New England Female Medical College, where she was awarded a state-funded scholarship.
Crumpler worked hard at her studies but had to take a leave of absence after two years to look after her sick husband, who unfortunately passed away in 1863. Months later, Crumpler returned to complete her final term but was nearly refused after some faculty members (教员) expressed worry regarding the amount of time it was taking her to complete her coursework and were hesitant to let her come back. Luckily, with several of the school’s sponsors supporting her, Crumpler finally received a “Doctress of Medicine” from college, and began seeing patients in and around her house, treating them regardless of their ability to pay.
In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published a book based on journal notes she kept during her years of practice. A Book of Medical Discourses, specifically aimed at women and the care of their children, is believed to be the first medical text written by an African American author. Scientific American describes it as the forerunner of the famous What to Expect When You’re Expecting (1984).
4. What inspired Crumpler to take up medicine?
A. The influence of her aunt. B. The desire to help the poor.
C. Her family’s encouragement. D. The doctors’ financial support.
5. Which of the following can best describe Crumpler?
A. Humorous and easygoing. B. Caring and determined.
C. Adventurous and sensitive. D. Optimistic and honest.
6. Why did some teachers attempt to reject Crumpler’s returning to school?
A. Her family couldn’t afford her education. B. She failed to follow the school regulations.
C. They felt negative about her determination. D. They doubted her ability to finish her study.
7. What do people think of Crumpler’s book according to the last paragraph?
A. Inspiring but unrealistic. B. Educational but complicated.
C. Accessible and interesting. D. Pioneering and practical.
C
Much of Earth is unexplored. An ocean census (普查) hopes to change that.
“Earth” has always been an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun. After all, two-thirds of its surface is covered not by earth at all, but by oceans of water.
Because humans are land animals, most of the Earth remains under-explored. Marine (海洋的) biologists think the oceans might host more than 2 million species of marine animals, of which they have so far identified perhaps a tenth.
A new initiative hopes to change this. Launched in London on April 27th, Ocean Census aims to discover 100, 000 new species of marine animal over the coming decade. It is backed by Nekton, a British marine-research institute, and the Nippon foundation, Japan’s biggest charitable foundation. Its first ship, the Norwegian icebreaker Kronprins Haakon, set sail on April 29th, bound for the Barents Sea.
The initiative is happening for two reasons. One is that the longer scientists wait, the less there will be to identify. Climate change is heating the oceans, as well as making them more acidic (酸的) as carbon dioxide dissolves goes into the water. Already around half the world’s coral reefs (珊瑚)—thought to be home to around 25% of all ocean species—have been lost. Oliver Steeds, Nekton’s founder, says that one of Ocean Census’s priorities will be identifying species thought to be in the greatest danger from climate change. The second reason is technological. Marine biologist s find about 2, 000 new species a year, a rate hardly changed since Darwin’s day. Ocean Census is betting it can go faster.
Exactly what the new effort might turn up is impossible to predict. But history suggests it will be fruitful. Half a century ago scientists discovered hot vents (喷口) on the sea bed. These days, such vents are one possible candidate for the origin of all life on Earth. There are more practical benefits, too. Many drugs, for example, come originally from biological substance. An ocean full of unidentified life will almost certainly prove a rich mine from which to mine more.
8. Why is “Earth” an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun?
A. Its climate is changing rapidly. B. Humans have not explored much of it.
C. Most of its surface is covered by water. D. It hosts a large number of marine animals.
9. What can we infer from paragraph 5?
A. The rate of discovering new species won’t change.
B. The new initiative will mainly focus on coral reefs.
C. Climate change has a great impact on marine species.
D. Scientists have identified nearly all the species in the ocean.
10. What might be the potential benefits of the Ocean Census according to the last paragraph?
A. It may result in a reduction in overfishing.
B. It may lead to the discovery of new drugs.
C. It may contribute to the advancement of technology.
D. It may prove the oceans are our life-support system.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. The Endangered Planet B. Reducing Sea Pollution: A Global Initiative
C. How to Protect the Oceans? D. The Misnamed Earth: Exploring the Ocean’s Secrets
D
Graduating students in the U. S. often feel pressure to get ahead and secure a good career fast. This attitude is reflected in surveys published by the career search platform Handshake, which found that economic news has driven the class of 2023 to feel “anxious”, “worried” and “stressed” to the extent that they plan to apply for jobs sooner than they originally intended to. In another Handshake survey, 85% of Generation Z job seekers reported stability to be a high priority in their job search. It’s no surprise that among a large number of students longing for certainty, the idea of taking a gap year is intimidating.
However, different from the traditional path, taking a gap year is not a waste of time and money. Studies on high school graduates who took a gap year before college show that it helps many students know more about their career or major selection. Other reported benefits include improved motivation and academic performance following the break. Furthermore, the Gap Year Association, a federally-recognized Standards Development Organization for gap year programs in the U. S, collected surveys revealing that students who take a gap year before college are more likely to graduate in four years or less when compared to the national average.
Importantly, a gap year need not be an expensive project. While spending thousands of dollars for specialized gap year programs is one way to ensure a productive, well-structured experience, this route falls outside most graduates’ budgets. Instead, students can take advantage of gap year scholarships and paid opportunities that are available both home and abroad. Additionally, many volunteer programs offer stipends (助学金) and cover the cost of room and board.
12. What did Handshake surveys find?
A. Economy majors found it hard to find a job.
B. Most Generation Z job seekers prioritize stability.
C. Graduating students are hesitant to receive an offer.
D. The U. S. encouraged the class of 2023 to take a gap year.
13. What does the underlined word “intimidating” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Frightening. B. Understandable. C. Attractive. D. Misleading.
14. What can we learn about the gap year from the second paragraph?
A. It determines the choice of major. B. It helps figure out future career paths.
C. It lowers the graduation rate in the US. D. It leads to poor academic performance.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the gap year?
A. Doubtful. B. Intolerant. C. Favourable. D. Unclear.

I was shy when I was young — everyone made me nervous. I was also what most teachers and parents would call a “good kid”, following the rules, and rarely questioning authority. But then one day, one single ride on a school bus changed all that.
The school bus that day was smelly and crowded. The windows were all rolled up by the bus driver’s orders — it was raining too hard outside. Most of the other kids were engaged in conversations and games. I sat alone as usual, speaking to no one. Over and over, I carefully wiped a small circle on my window so that I could watch outside.
The bus stopped, waiting for an accident to be cleared. The driver, Mrs. Foster, was particularly tense that day and had yelled at several kids who had been standing up in their seats.
As I sat quietly, I saw a little cat on the other side of the road. It was all wet and didn’t seem to know where to go. I wanted to help the cat, but the bus driver would never allow me off the bus. I would get into big trouble for trying to rescue a cat across a busy, rainy street. I also thought that if I pointed out the miserable cat, the other kids would probably think I was strange. I couldn’t bear that.
My window was cloudy again, and when I wiped the window clear, I could see the cat was now struggling in running water and shaking. I saw absolute terror in its dark, round eyes.
I felt like I was drowning along with the little cat, tears rolling down my cheeks. I wanted to rush off the bus without asking for permission to save the cat. But I also pictured the other kids staring at me. I sat still, unable to act. The bus began to move forward. I could see the cat panicked. I glanced around, but no one else seemed to have noticed. I hadn’t even realized that I was standing up.
When Mrs. Foster yelled at me to sit down, I was shocked.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“No one is to leave this bus!” Mrs. Foster said seriously, rushing into the rain.

As the first African American woman to receive a medical degree in America, Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler challenged the prejudice that prevented African Americans and women from following medical careers.
Born in 1831 in Christiana, Delaware, Crumpler spent her childhood in Pennsylvania with an aunt, who frequently cared for sick neighbors, and Crumpler went with her on these trips. In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.”
In 1852, Crumpler moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, to begin her medical career as a nurse. In the early 1850s, there was no formal school where one could become licensed to practice nursing. Even so, Crumpler assisted several doctors in Boston for eight years. They in turn supported her application to the New England Female Medical College, where she was awarded a state-funded scholarship.
Crumpler worked hard at her studies but had to take a leave of absence after two years to look after her sick husband, who unfortunately passed away in 1863. Months later, Crumpler returned to complete her final term but was nearly refused after some faculty members (教员) expressed worry regarding the amount of time it was taking her to complete her coursework and were hesitant to let her come back. Luckily, with several of the school’s sponsors supporting her, Crumpler finally received a “Doctress of Medicine” from college, and began seeing patients in and around her house, treating them regardless of their ability to pay.
In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published a book based on journal notes she kept during her years of practice. A Book of Medical Discourses, specifically aimed at women and the care of their children, is believed to be the first medical text written by an African American author. Scientific American describes it as the forerunner of the famous What to Expect When You’re Expecting (1984).
4. What inspired Crumpler to take up medicine?
A. The influence of her aunt. B. The desire to help the poor.
C. Her family’s encouragement. D. The doctors’ financial support.
5. Which of the following can best describe Crumpler?
A. Humorous and easygoing. B. Caring and determined.
C. Adventurous and sensitive. D. Optimistic and honest.
6. Why did some teachers attempt to reject Crumpler’s returning to school?
A. Her family couldn’t afford her education. B. She failed to follow the school regulations.
C. They felt negative about her determination. D. They doubted her ability to finish her study.
7. What do people think of Crumpler’s book according to the last paragraph?
A. Inspiring but unrealistic. B. Educational but complicated.
C. Accessible and interesting. D. Pioneering and practical.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. D

C
Much of Earth is unexplored. An ocean census (普查) hopes to change that.
“Earth” has always been an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun. After all, two-thirds of its surface is covered not by earth at all, but by oceans of water.
Because humans are land animals, most of the Earth remains under-explored. Marine (海洋的) biologists think the oceans might host more than 2 million species of marine animals, of which they have so far identified perhaps a tenth.
A new initiative hopes to change this. Launched in London on April 27th, Ocean Census aims to discover 100, 000 new species of marine animal over the coming decade. It is backed by Nekton, a British marine-research institute, and the Nippon foundation, Japan’s biggest charitable foundation. Its first ship, the Norwegian icebreaker Kronprins Haakon, set sail on April 29th, bound for the Barents Sea.
The initiative is happening for two reasons. One is that the longer scientists wait, the less there will be to identify. Climate change is heating the oceans, as well as making them more acidic (酸的) as carbon dioxide dissolves goes into the water. Already around half the world’s coral reefs (珊瑚)—thought to be home to around 25% of all ocean species—have been lost. Oliver Steeds, Nekton’s founder, says that one of Ocean Census’s priorities will be identifying species thought to be in the greatest danger from climate change. The second reason is technological. Marine biologist s find about 2, 000 new species a year, a rate hardly changed since Darwin’s day. Ocean Census is betting it can go faster.
Exactly what the new effort might turn up is impossible to predict. But history suggests it will be fruitful. Half a century ago scientists discovered hot vents (喷口) on the sea bed. These days, such vents are one possible candidate for the origin of all life on Earth. There are more practical benefits, too. Many drugs, for example, come originally from biological substance. An ocean full of unidentified life will almost certainly prove a rich mine from which to mine more.
8. Why is “Earth” an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun?
A. Its climate is changing rapidly. B. Humans have not explored much of it.
C. Most of its surface is covered by water. D. It hosts a large number of marine animals.
9. What can we infer from paragraph 5?
A. The rate of discovering new species won’t change.
B. The new initiative will mainly focus on coral reefs.
C. Climate change has a great impact on marine species.
D. Scientists have identified nearly all the species in the ocean.
10. What might be the potential benefits of the Ocean Census according to the last paragraph?
A. It may result in a reduction in overfishing.
B. It may lead to the discovery of new drugs.
C. It may contribute to the advancement of technology.
D. It may prove the oceans are our life-support system.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. The Endangered Planet B. Reducing Sea Pollution: A Global Initiative
C. How to Protect the Oceans? D. The Misnamed Earth: Exploring the Ocean’s Secrets
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科学家倡议进行海洋普查,来深入了解地球,解释了这一举措背后的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““Earth” has always been an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun. After all, two-thirds of its surface is covered not by earth at all, but by oceans of water.(用“地球”来命名这颗距太阳第三远的行星一直是个奇怪的选择。毕竟,它三分之二的表面根本不是被陆地覆盖,而是被海洋覆盖)”可知,用“地球”这个名字来称呼离太阳第三远的行星是一个奇怪的选择,是因为它的大部分表面被水覆盖。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The initiative is happening for two reasons. One is that the longer scientists wait, the less there will be to identify. Climate change is heating the oceans, as well as making them more acidic (酸的) as carbon dioxide dissolves goes into the water. Already around half the world’s coral reefs (珊瑚)—thought to be home to around 25% of all ocean species—have been lost. Oliver Steeds, Nekton’s founder, says that one of Ocean Census’s priorities will be identifying species thought to be in the greatest danger from climate change.(这一举措的出现有两个原因。一个是,科学家等待的时间越长,能确定的就越少。气候变化正在加热海洋,同时随着二氧化碳溶解到水中,海洋变得更酸。世界上大约一半的珊瑚礁——被认为是25%海洋物种的家园——已经消失了。Nekton的创始人Oliver Steeds说,海洋普查的首要任务之一将是确定那些被认为受到气候变化威胁最大的物种)”可知,气候变化对海洋物种有很大的影响。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Many drugs, for example, come originally from biological substance. An ocean full of unidentified life will almost certainly prove a rich mine from which to mine more.(例如,许多药物最初来自生物物质。一个充满未知生命的海洋几乎肯定是一个丰富的矿藏,我们可以从中开采更多矿)”可知,海洋普查的潜在好处是可能导致新药的发现。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Much of Earth is unexplored. An ocean census (普查) hopes to change that.(地球上的许多地方还没有被探索过。一项海洋普查希望改变这种状况)”结合文章主要说明了科学家倡议进行海洋普查,来深入了解地球,解释了这一举措背后的原因。可知,D选项“错误命名的地球:探索海洋的秘密”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
Graduating students in the U. S. often feel pressure to get ahead and secure a good career fast. This attitude is reflected in surveys published by the career search platform Handshake, which found that economic news has driven the class of 2023 to feel “anxious”, “worried” and “stressed” to the extent that they plan to apply for jobs sooner than they originally intended to. In another Handshake survey, 85% of Generation Z job seekers reported stability to be a high priority in their job search. It’s no surprise that among a large number of students longing for certainty, the idea of taking a gap year is intimidating.
However, different from the traditional path, taking a gap year is not a waste of time and money. Studies on high school graduates who took a gap year before college show that it helps many students know more about their career or major selection. Other reported benefits include improved motivation and academic performance following the break. Furthermore, the Gap Year Association, a federally-recognized Standards Development Organization for gap year programs in the U. S, collected surveys revealing that students who take a gap year before college are more likely to graduate in four years or less when compared to the national average.
Importantly, a gap year need not be an expensive project. While spending thousands of dollars for specialized gap year programs is one way to ensure a productive, well-structured experience, this route falls outside most graduates’ budgets. Instead, students can take advantage of gap year scholarships and paid opportunities that are available both home and abroad. Additionally, many volunteer programs offer stipends (助学金) and cover the cost of room and board.
12. What did Handshake surveys find?
A. Economy majors found it hard to find a job.
B. Most Generation Z job seekers prioritize stability.
C. Graduating students are hesitant to receive an offer.
D. The U. S. encouraged the class of 2023 to take a gap year.
13. What does the underlined word “intimidating” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Frightening. B. Understandable. C. Attractive. D. Misleading.
14. What can we learn about the gap year from the second paragraph?
A. It determines the choice of major. B. It helps figure out future career paths.
C. It lowers the graduation rate in the US. D. It leads to poor academic performance.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the gap year?
A. Doubtful. B. Intolerant. C. Favourable. D. Unclear.
【答案】12 B 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Z世代对于求职的看法以及间隔年的好处。
【12题详解】

【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“In another Handshake survey, 85% of Generation Z job seekers reported stability to be a high priority in their job search.

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Studies on high school graduates who took a gap year before college show that it helps many students know more about their career or major selection. (对高中毕业生在上大学前进行间隔年的研究表明,这有助于许多学生更好地了解他们的职业或专业选择)”可知,间隔年能帮助学生找到未来的职业道路。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While spending thousands of dollars for specialized gap year programs is one way to ensure a productive, well-structured experience, this route falls outside most graduates’ budgets. Instead, students can take advantage of gap year scholarships and paid opportunities that are available both home and abroad. Additionally, many volunteer programs offer stipends and cover the cost of room and board. (虽然花费数千美元参加专门的间隔年项目是确保富有成效、结构良好的经历的一种方式,但这种方式超出了大多数毕业生的预算。相反,学生可以利用间隔年奖学金和国内外提供的带薪机会。此外,许多志愿者项目提供津贴,并支付食宿费用)”可知,作者支持间隔年。故选C。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了承认错误的一些好处。
【16题详解】
根据上文“When you hide your mistake and lie about it, a sense of guilt takes over. With time, it becomes more prominent.(当你隐藏自己的错误并撒谎时,一种内疚感就会占据上风。随着时间的推移,它变得更加突出)”以及后文“It will make you strong, and you can face the world without any guilt and shame.(它会让你变得坚强,你可以毫无愧疚和羞耻地面对这个世界)”可知,上文提到了内疚感,后文则提到可以毫无愧疚和羞耻地面对这个世界,推测本句是给出犯错后内疚感的解决方案。故D选项“承认你的错误可以使你避免这种情况”符合语境,故选D。
【17题详解】
根据本段内容“When you reject making lame excuses and admit your mistakes, your strong and courageous personality becomes visible in front of others. People start believing in you because of your honesty, and you save yourself from losing your reputation.(当你拒绝找蹩脚的借口并承认自己的错误时,你的坚强和勇敢的个性就会在别人面前显现出来。因为你的诚实,人们开始相信你,你也避免了自己的名誉受损)”可知,本段的主旨是承认错误可以显示出自己的诚实,B选项中honesty对应后文honesty。故B选项“这有助于显示你的诚实和勇气”符合语境,故选B。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Instead of feeling ashamed to admit your mistakes, you should be happy to have the chance to reveal them so they can be corrected. Remember that we learn the most from the mistakes we’ve made.(不要羞于承认自己的错误,你应该为有机会揭露错误而感到高兴,这样错误就可以得到纠正。记住,我们从犯过的错误中学到的东西最多)”可知,后文提到不要羞于承认自己的错误,即要大胆承认错误,才可以避免再次犯错。故G选项“如果你想寻求纠正,避免将来再犯错误,那就承认错误”符合语境,故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“It is impossible to move on and make progress if you feel guilty because of any mistakes you’ve made. If you haven’t admitted them, they will accompany you wherever you go.(如果你对自己所犯的错误感到内疚,你就不可能继续前进,取得进步。如果你没有接纳他们,他们会陪你走到任何地方)”以及后文“The solution is admitting your mistakes as soon as possible. It will make you focus on the present instead of the past.(解决办法就是尽快承认自己的错误。它会让你专注于现在而不是过去)”可知,上文提到不接受自己的错误就会导致错误一直跟随自己,导致停留在过去。故F选项“你会被过去的错误缠住,阻碍你继续前进”符合语境,故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“So, do you have any past mistakes which you have not admitted yet?( 那么,你过去有没有没有承认的错误呢?)”可知,上文提出问题,本句为本段最后一句,故回答上文关于承认错误的问题,并且再次呼应承认错误有好处的主题。故E选项“如果是,那么现在就承认吧,你会享受到积极的好处”符合语境,故选E。

47. 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。
I was shy when I was young — everyone made me nervous. I was also what most teachers and parents would call a “good kid”, following the rules, and rarely questioning authority. But then one day, one single ride on a school bus changed all that.
The school bus that day was smelly and crowded. The windows were all rolled up by the bus driver’s orders — it was raining too hard outside. Most of the other kids were engaged in conversations and games. I sat alone as usual, speaking to no one. Over and over, I carefully wiped a small circle on my window so that I could watch outside.
The bus stopped, waiting for an accident to be cleared. The driver, Mrs. Foster, was particularly tense that day and had yelled at several kids who had been standing up in their seats.
As I sat quietly, I saw a little cat on the other side of the road. It was all wet and didn’t seem to know where to go. I wanted to help the cat, but the bus driver would never allow me off the bus. I would get into big trouble for trying to rescue a cat across a busy, rainy street. I also thought that if I pointed out the miserable cat, the other kids would probably think I was strange. I couldn’t bear that.
My window was cloudy again, and when I wiped the window clear, I could see the cat was now struggling in running water and shaking. I saw absolute terror in its dark, round eyes.
I felt like I was drowning along with the little cat, tears rolling down my cheeks. I wanted to rush off the bus without asking for permission to save the cat. But I also pictured the other kids staring at me. I sat still, unable to act. The bus began to move forward. I could see the cat panicked. I glanced around, but no one else seemed to have noticed. I hadn’t even realized that I was standing up.
When Mrs. Foster yelled at me to sit down, I was shocked.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“No one is to leave this bus!” Mrs. Foster said seriously, rushing into the rain.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
When Mrs. Foster yelled at me to sit down, I was shocked. I immediately sat back down. Although I did not break rules, my heart was racing. I prayed that someone else would notice and rescue the pity cat. Realizing it was less likely for the cat to be noticed in such a busy and rainy street, I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. I gathered my courage and rushed towards the driver. “Mrs. Foster. I have to help that cat in trouble, and I can’t just leave it there.” I said firmly. Her eyes met mine, surprise quickly replaced by a look of understanding. She pulled over.
“No one is to leave this bus.” Mrs. Foster said seriously, rushing into rain. Without grabbing an umbrella, Mrs. Foster quickly pulled the cat into the safety of her arms. As we all. watched in silence, she tightly held the terrified creature, removed her own coat to wrap the cat in it, and then raced back to the bus. We all cheered until she gestured us to be quiet. The cat was rescued, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I was still a pretty good kid after that day, but I learned to speak up to overcome my shyness.
