一、阅读理解第一节(共10题,每题3分,共30分)
Women scientists around the world have made significant contributions to Stem (science, technology, engineering, and maths). Here are four who pushed boundaries and changed the world.
Wu Chienshiung (1912—1997)
Bon in Taicang, Jiangsu province, Wu took part in the Manhattan Project which helped create the world’s first nuclear weapon. Her famous Wu experiment overturned the theory of parity (宇称理论) in physics. This breakthrough led to a Nobel Prize that was awarded to her male colleagues, but Wu’s critical role in the work was overlooked.
Hedy Lamarr (1914—2000)
Austria-born Lamarr starred in a lot of Hollywood films and made great success. She was also super smart and a self-taught inventor. During the second world war, Lamarr together with George Antheil, a composer, developed a radio guidance system. The principle of their work is part of the basis of Bluetooth and wireless technology.
Katherine Johns (1918—2020)
African American NASA mathematician Johnson’s calculations were critical in getting the first US astronauts to space and back safely. During her 33-year career at NASA, Katherine earned a reputation for mastering complex calculations and was referred to as a “human computer”.
Tu Youyou (1930—)
Born in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, Tu shared the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with two other foreign scientists, for her work in discovering artemisinin, a drug used to treat malaria (疟疾).

Charles Robert Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 in Shropshire, England. Darwin’s childhood passion was science, and his interest in chemistry, however, was clear: he was even nicknamed ‘Gas’ by his classmates.
In 1825, his father sent him to study medicine at Edinburgh University, where he learned how to classify plants. Darwin became passionate about natural history and this became his focus while he studied at Cambridge. Darwin went on a voyage together with Robert Fitzroy, the captain of HMS Beagle, to South America to facilitate British trade in Patagonia. The journey was life-changing. Darwin spent much of the trip on land collecting samples of plants, animals and rocks, which helped him to develop an understanding of the processes that shape the Earth’s surface. Darwin’s analysis of the plants and animals that he gathered led him to express doubts on former explanations about how species formed and evolved over time.
Darwin’s work convinced him that natural selection was key to understanding the development of the natural world. The theory of natural selection says that individuals of a species are more likely to survive when they inherit (经遗传获得) characteristics best suited for that specific environment. These features then become more widespread and can lead eventually to the development of a new species. With natural selection, Darwin argued how a wide variety of life forms developed over time from a single common ancestor.
Darwin married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, in 1839. When Darwin’s eldest daughter, Annie, died from a sudden illness in 1851, he lost his belief in God. His tenth and final child, Charles Waring Darwin, was born in 1856. Significantly for Darwin, this baby was disabled, altering how Darwin thought about the human species. Darwin had previously thought that species remained adapted until the environment changed; he now believed that every new variation was imperfect and that a struggle to survive was what drove species to adapt.
Though rejected at the beginning, Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is nowadays well accepted by the scientific community as the best evidence-based explanation for the diversity and complexity of life on Earth. The Natural History Museum’s library alone has 478 editions of his On the Origin of Species in 38 languages.
4. What made Darwin reconsider the origin and development of species?
A. Examining plants and animals collected.
B. His desire for a voyage to different continents.
C. Classifying samples in a journey to South America.
D. His passion for natural history at Edinburgh University.
5. Which of the following changed Darwin’s view on the human species?
A. That he had ten children in all. B. That he lost his eldest daughter.
C. His youngest son’s being disabled. D. His marriage with Emma Wedgwood.
6. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Darwin’s interest of study never changed.
B. Darwin’s happy family gave him much support in his studies.
C. Darwin’s discoveries were based on his life and field studies.
D. Darwin’s theory of evolution was accepted at the very beginning.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Darwin’s passion for medical science.
B. Charles Darwin’s changing interest.
C. Charles Darwin’s discoveries and family tics.
D. Charles Darwin’s life and work.
C
It is important to know another language and how to communicate without words when you are in another country. Before saying anything, people communicate with each other by using gestures(手势). However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.
In the United States, nodding your head up and down means “yes”, while in some parts of Greece and Turkey, it means “no”. In the southeast of Asia, it is a polite way of saying “I heard you”.
Today in the USA, when someone puts his thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Greece it is bad. Also putting your clasped(紧握的) hands up above your head means “I am the winner.” It is the sign which players often make. In Russia it is the sign of friendship.
In the USA, holding your hand up with the thumb and index finger(食指), and the other three straight means “Everything is OK.” In France, it means “You are worth nothing.”
It is also important to make eye communication. If you look down when talking to an American, he or she may feel that you are shy, or you are trying to hide something.
Besides these, you should also know there are some topics that cannot be talked about, such as age, weight and marriage. You can talk about the weather, work, sports, food, where one lives and news of the day.
8. Which of the following is true?
A. People all over the world only communicate by words.
B. Many gestures either have different meanings or no meanings at all.
C. Gestures are the most common way to communicate.
D. People can talk about anything in another country.
9. Putting the thumb up should not be used in ________.
A. Greece B. the USA C. England D. China
10. The main idea of the passage is that when you are in another country, ________.
A. It is important to know the language.
B. It is important to know what you talk about to a foreigner.
C. To know how to communicate without words is as important as to know the language.
D. To communicate through gestures is more important than to know the language.

空处是段落标题,需统领段落内容,且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文“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. (这听起来可能很骄傲,但事实是,你必须经常求助于比你聪明的人。就像玩任何游戏一样。即使在我还是个孩子的时候,我也从来不想和像我一样糟糕的人玩游戏)”可知,本段的建议与和比自己聪明的人相处相关,因此G项“Avoid foolish people. (避免愚蠢的人)”符合语境,契合段落内容,其中的foolish和后文的brighter相对。故选G。
【12题详解】
前文“And in the game of science or life, the highest goal isn’t simply to win; it’s to win at something really difficult. (在科学或人生的游戏中,最高目标不仅仅是取胜;而是在非常困难的事情上获胜)”解释在科学中获胜的性质,因此C项“Put another way, it’s to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top. (换句话说,就是超越自己的能力,取得成功)”符合语境,进一步解释获胜的含义,承接前文。故选C。
【13题详解】

(如果你想在科学上有一个巨大的飞跃,从定义上讲,你很可能没有资格成功。此外,你甚至要准备好怀疑你的科学英雄。这可能不仅仅是个人的烦恼)”主要介绍了在科学上获得成功的困难,因此A项“To make a huge success, a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble. (为了取得巨大的成功,科学家必须准备好陷入大麻烦)”符合语境,点明要有陷入大麻烦的准备,其中的deep trouble呼应后文描述的困难。故选A。
【14题详解】
段落标题“Never do anything that bores you. (不要做任何让你厌烦的事情)”建议在科学上避免让自己厌烦的事情,后文“In fact, I even find it hard to do well in something I like. (事实上,我甚至发现很难做好我喜欢的事情)”分享做好喜欢的事情也有难度的经验,因此E项“I’m not good enough to do well in something I dislike. (我不够好,不能做好我不喜欢的事情)”符合语境,分享很难做好不喜欢的事情的经验,呼应标题,后文是对选项内容的延伸。故选E。
【15题详解】
前文“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. (如果你不想和其他科学家在一起,你就很难取得成功——你必须参加一些重要的会议,在那里你会发现一些你可能会漏掉的关键事实。你必须和你的竞争对手聊天,即使你觉得他们不讨人喜欢)”说明想在科学上取得成功必须和他人相处协作,因此F项“If you can’t stand to be with your real peers, get out of science. (如果你不能忍受和你真正的同龄人在一起,那就离开科学吧)”符合语境,点明无法和他人待在一起就应放弃科学,是对前文内容的总结。故选F。
