You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson.Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the danger of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and in 1981, the first woman to join the US Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks did not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.

In a village in Senegal, dozens of teenagers in colorful shorts are throwing each other to the ground against a backdrop of palm trees. It’s a common sight across Senegal. But in most of the country, wrestling remains off-limits for women.
There is one exception. In the Casamance region, home to the Jola ethnic group, women traditionally wrestle alongside men. At a recent training session in Mlomp, most teenagers on the sandy ground were girls.
“It’s in our blood,” said coach Isabelle Sambou, 43, a two-time Olympian and nine-time African wrestling champion. “In my village, girls wrestle. My mum was a wrestler and my aunts were wrestlers.”
But once Jola women marry, they are expected to stop practicing and devote themselves to family life, which is regarded as the main duty of Senegalese women.
That hasn’t been the case for Sambou, who, despite her humble behavior and small size, displays strength and determination. She overcame barriers to become a professional athlete.
As a teenager, Sambo u was noticed by a professional wrestling coach at a competition during the annual Festival of the King of Oussouye, one of the few events accessible to women. The coach suggested that she try Olympic wrestling. Wrestling brought Sambou to the Olympic Games in London and Rio de Janeiro, where she placed outside the medal contenders (争夺者).
But being a successful professional female athlete in a conservative society comes with a price. Sambou recalled her experiences in parts of Senegal beyond her home region and said, “When I walked around in shorts, people were saying, ‘Look, is it a woman or is it a boy?’”
In 2016, facing her mid-30s, Sambou decided to retire and move back to her village. “I thought it was time to think of something else, maybe finding a job or starting a family,” she said. “But that hasn’t happened so far.” Instead, she is focused on finding “future Isabelles”. She hopes the girls she coaches can achieve her dream of winning an Olympic medal.
4. What does the text say about wrestling in Senegal?
A. It’s a male-dominated sport. B. It’s only teenager-targeted.
C. It requires strict formal training. D. It remains illegal for women.
5. What happened to Sambou’s mother after she got married?
A. She gave up wrestling. B. She tried Olympic wrestling.
C. She became a wrestling coach. D. She started practicing wrestling.
6. What is a barrier facing Sambou as a wrestler?
A. Having no access to training. B. Being opposed by her family.
C. Having no competitions to enter. D. Being laughed at for her gender.
7. What is Sambou’s current dream?
A. To devote herself to her kids. B. To win medals as a wrestler.
C. To find a job outside her village. D. To coach future Olympic medalists.
C
Mammoths, the massive pre-historic ice age cousins of the modern-day elephant, have always been understood to have inhabited parts of British Columbia, but the question of when has always been woolly. Now, a new study from Simon Fraser University has given scientists the clearest picture yet of when the giant mammals (巨型哺乳动物) walked on Vancouver Island.
As part of SFU researcher Laura Termes’ PhD and published earlier this month in the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, the study examined 32 suspected mammoth samples collected on Vancouver Island. Of those samples, just 16 were considered fit for radiocarbon dating.
The youngest sample was found to be around 23,000 years old and the oldest turned out to be beyond the range radiocarbon dating could measure, meaning it was older than 45,000 years.
Prior to the study, only two mammoth remains found on Vancouver Island had ever been dated before. Both lived around 21,000 years ago, so this study provides a greater understanding of when the massive mammals lived in the area.
Termes says, “We were expecting similar results to the two samples previously dated, but what we found were mammoths that were much older. It is fantastic that they could be preserved for that long.”
Termes says having the support at the Royal BC Museum and the Courtenay and District Museum and Palaeontology Centre allowing access to their collections is invaluable to the study.
“This research highlights the important role of museum collections for understanding how life has evolved and changed in British Columbia’s deep history,” says Victoria Arbour, who works at the Royal BC Museum. “It’s great to see mammoths’relatives in the Royal BC Museum’s collections in the spotlight through this research.”
“Researchers need all the help they can get because while mammoths were enormous, finding complete samples in British Columbia is actually quite rare,” says Termes.
8 What does the underlined word “woolly” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. Certain. B. Attractive. C. Confusing. D. Understandable.
9. What can we know about radiocarbon dating according to the text?
A. Mammoth remains were not dated by it.
B. 32 suspected mammoth samples were fit for it.
C. It can exactly date the oldest mammoth sample.
D. It measures samples no older than 45,000 years.
10. How does Termes feel about the research results?
A. Excited. B. Regretful. C. Worried. D. Calm.
11. Why are museum collections mentioned in the text?
A. To discuss a way to popularize local museums.
B. To point out the limitations of sampling methods.
C. To show complete mammoth samples were enormous.
D. To stress research on mammoths calls for joint efforts.

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for the family when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking towards the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn’t walking in his usual way. He was obviously walking with a great effort, trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, towards the house.
Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow and purposeful step towards the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he carried. Branches and thorns slapped(拍打) his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leant against a tree to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer laying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap(舔着喝) the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hand.
When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
And later I knew what was going on.

【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四位伟大又有影响力的女性,以及她们在各自领域的成就。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Sandra Day O’Connor部分的第一句“When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. (1952年,当桑德拉·戴·奥康纳(Sandra Day O 'Connor)以全班第三名的成绩毕业于斯坦福大学法学院时,她找不到律师事务所的工作,因为她是女性。)”可知,桑德拉·戴·奥康纳被律师公司拒绝是因为对妇女的歧视。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Rosa Parks部分“On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks did not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civilrights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” said Parks.( 1955年12月1日,在阿拉巴马州的蒙哥马利,罗莎·帕克斯在公交车上没有给一位白人乘客让座。她简单的举动让帕克斯进了监狱。但这也引发了蒙哥马利的公共汽车抵制运动。它持续了一年多,并拉开了民权运动的序幕。“我唯一感到疲倦的是,厌倦了屈服。帕克斯说。)”可知, 罗莎·帕克斯没有在公共汽车上给白人乘客让座。她的简单行为使自己进了监狱。但这也引发了蒙哥马利的公交车抵制运动。它持续了一年多, 拉开了民权运动的序幕。由此可知, 罗莎·帕克斯对美国民权运动做出了巨大的贡献。故选D。
【3题详解】

In a village in Senegal, dozens of teenagers in colorful shorts are throwing each other to the ground against a backdrop of palm trees. It’s a common sight across Senegal. But in most of the country, wrestling remains off-limits for women.
There is one exception. In the Casamance region, home to the Jola ethnic group, women traditionally wrestle alongside men. At a recent training session in Mlomp, most teenagers on the sandy ground were girls.
“It’s in our blood,” said coach Isabelle Sambou, 43, a two-time Olympian and nine-time African wrestling champion. “In my village, girls wrestle. My mum was a wrestler and my aunts were wrestlers.”
But once Jola women marry, they are expected to stop practicing and devote themselves to family life, which is regarded as the main duty of Senegalese women.
That hasn’t been the case for Sambou, who, despite her humble behavior and small size, displays strength and determination. She overcame barriers to become a professional athlete.
As a teenager, Sambo u was noticed by a professional wrestling coach at a competition during the annual Festival of the King of Oussouye, one of the few events accessible to women. The coach suggested that she try Olympic wrestling. Wrestling brought Sambou to the Olympic Games in London and Rio de Janeiro, where she placed outside the medal contenders (争夺者).
But being a successful professional female athlete in a conservative society comes with a price. Sambou recalled her experiences in parts of Senegal beyond her home region and said, “When I walked around in shorts, people were saying, ‘Look, is it a woman or is it a boy?’”
In 2016, facing her mid-30s, Sambou decided to retire and move back to her village. “I thought it was time to think of something else, maybe finding a job or starting a family,” she said. “But that hasn’t happened so far.” Instead, she is focused on finding “future Isabelles”. She hopes the girls she coaches can achieve her dream of winning an Olympic medal.
4 What does the text say about wrestling in Senegal?
A. It’s a male-dominated sport. B. It’s only teenager-targeted.
C. It requires strict formal training. D. It remains illegal for women.
5. What happened to Sambou’s mother after she got married?
A. She gave up wrestling. B. She tried Olympic wrestling.
C. She became a wrestling coach. D. She started practicing wrestling.
6. What is a barrier facing Sambou as a wrestler?
A. Having no access to training. B. Being opposed by her family.
C. Having no competitions to enter. D. Being laughed at for her gender.
7. What is Sambou’s current dream?
A. To devote herself to her kids. B. To win medals as a wrestler.
C. To find a job outside her village. D. To coach future Olympic medalists.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。在塞内加尔这个国家,摔跤是一项男性主导的运动。幸运的是, Isabelle Sambou所在的村子支持女性摔跤,她也在自己的摔跤事业上不断奋进。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中“But in most of the country, wrestling remains off-limits for women. (但在这个国家的大部分地区,摔跤仍然是女性的禁区。)”可知,在塞内加尔的大部分地区,摔跤仍然是女性的禁区,即摔跤是一项男性主导的运动。故选A。

细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But once Jola women marry, they are expected to stop practicing and devote themselves to family life, which is regarded as the main duty of Senegalese women. (但是,一旦乔拉妇女结婚,她们就应该停止练习,全身心地投入到家庭生活中,这被视为塞内加尔妇女的主要职责。)”可以推断,Sambou的母亲结婚后放弃了摔跤,选择了家庭生活。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第七段“But being a successful professional female athlete in a conservative society comes with a price. Sambou recalled her experiences in parts of Senegal beyond her home region and said, “When I walked around in shorts, people were saying, ‘Look, is it a woman or is it a boy?’” (但在一个保守的社会里,成为一名成功的职业女运动员是要付出代价的。Sambou回忆起她在家乡以外的塞内加尔部分地区的经历,她说:“当我穿着短裤四处走动时,人们说,‘看,这是一个女人还是一个男孩?’”)”可知,Sambou作为女性摔跤手面临的障碍是因为她的性别而被嘲笑。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Instead, she is focused on finding ‘future Isabelles’. She hopes the girls she coaches can achieve her dream of winning an Olympic medal. (相反,她专注于寻找“未来的伊莎贝尔”。她希望她训练的姑娘们能实现她赢得奥运会奖牌的梦想。)”可知,Sambou现在的梦想是培养未来的奥运会奖牌获得者。故选D。

Mammoths, the massive pre-historic ice age cousins of the modern-day elephant, have always been understood to have inhabited parts of British Columbia, but the question of when has always been woolly. Now, a new study from Simon Fraser University has given scientists the clearest picture yet of when the giant mammals (巨型哺乳动物) walked on Vancouver Island.
As part of SFU researcher Laura Termes’ PhD and published earlier this month in the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, the study examined 32 suspected mammoth samples collected on Vancouver Island. Of those samples, just 16 were considered fit for radiocarbon dating.
The youngest sample was found to be around 23,000 years old and the oldest turned out to be beyond the range radiocarbon dating could measure, meaning it was older than 45,000 years.
Prior to the study, only two mammoth remains found on Vancouver Island had ever been dated before. Both lived around 21,000 years ago, so this study provides a greater understanding of when the massive mammals lived in the area.
Termes says, “We were expecting similar results to the two samples previously dated, but what we found were mammoths that were much older. It is fantastic that they could be preserved for that long.”
Termes says having the support at the Royal BC Museum and the Courtenay and District Museum and Palaeontology Centre allowing access to their collections is invaluable to the study.
“This research highlights the important role of museum collections for understanding how life has evolved and changed in British Columbia’s deep history,” says Victoria Arbour, who works at the Royal BC Museum. “It’s great to see mammoths’relatives in the Royal BC Museum’s collections in the spotlight through this research.”
“Researchers need all the help they can get because while mammoths were enormous, finding complete samples in British Columbia is actually quite rare,” says Termes.
8. What does the underlined word “woolly” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. Certain. B. Attractive. C. Confusing. D. Understandable.
9. What can we know about radiocarbon dating according to the text?
A. Mammoth remains were not dated by it.
B. 32 suspected mammoth samples were fit for it.
C. It can exactly date the oldest mammoth sample.
D. It measures samples no older than 45,000 years.
10. How does Termes feel about the research results?
A. Excited. B. Regretful. C. Worried. D. Calm.
11. Why are museum collections mentioned in the text?
A. To discuss a way to popularize local museums.
B. To point out the limitations of sampling methods.
C. To show complete mammoth samples were enormous.
D. To stress research on mammoths calls for joint efforts.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。猛犸象是现代大象的史前冰河时代的表亲,人们一直认为它们居住在不列颠哥伦比亚省的部分地区,但时间问题总是模糊不清。如今,研究人员有了新发现。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第一段“Mammoths, the massive pre-historic ice age cousins of the modern-day elephant, have always been understood to have inhabited parts of British Columbia, but the question of when has always been woolly. Now, a new study from Simon Fraser University has given scientists the clearest picture yet of when the giant mammals (巨型哺乳动物) walked on Vancouver Island. (猛犸象是现代大象在史前冰河时代的表亲,人们一直认为它们在不列颠哥伦比亚省的部分地区有栖息地,但具体是什么时候的问题一直很woolly。现在,西蒙弗雷泽大学的一项新研究为科学家们提供了迄今为止最清晰的画面,即巨型哺乳动物何时在温哥华岛行走。)”可知,关于猛犸象何时在温哥华岛生存的问题一直是模糊的,因此woolly在此处表示“令人困惑的”。A. Certain当然;B. Attractive吸引人的;C. Confusing令人困惑的;D. Understandable可以理解的。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“The youngest sample was found to be around 23,000 years old and the oldest turned out to be beyond the range radiocarbon dating could measure, meaning it was older than 45,000 years. (最年轻的样本大约有23000年的历史,而最古老的样本超出了放射性碳测年法可以测量的范围,这意味着它的历史超过了45000年。)”可知,通过放射性碳定年法可以测量到的样品最老不会超过45,000年。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第五段中的“Termes says, “We were expecting similar results to the two samples previously dated, but what we found were mammoths that were much older. It is fantastic that they could be preserved for that long.” (特尔梅斯说:“我们期待与之前确定日期的两个样本的结果相似,但我们发现的是更古老的猛犸象。它们能被保存这么长时间真是太棒了。”)”可知,他对研究结果感到非常兴奋,认为能够保存这么长时间的猛犸象是非常了不起的。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由文章倒数第三段中的“Termes says having the support at the Royal BC Museum and the Courtenay and District Museum and Palaeontology Centre allowing access to their collections is invaluable to the study. (特尔梅斯说,得到皇家不列颠哥伦比亚省博物馆、考特尼和地区博物馆以及古生物学中心的支持,允许他们访问他们的藏品,对这项研究来说是无价的。)”可知,博物馆的藏品对于这项研究非常重要,因为博物馆提供了支持和访问其藏品的机会。因此,博物馆藏品在文章中被提及是为了强调猛犸象的研究需要各方的共同努力。故选D。

Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Sir/Madam,
I have read your advertisement in the newspaper, in which you mentioned that your instructors are fully qualified and you ensure that learners will be able to swim well after one week's training.
I can swim a little but I'm not very confident in the water. So I'm interested in taking part in the training course. Fortunately, the summer holiday is around the corner. I' m writing to inquire when and where the course will be given, and how long the training course will last each day. I also want to know how much you will charge me for that. Besides, would you be so kind as to tell me whether there is anything special that should be prepared or does your company provide everything necessary?
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

53. 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。续写词数应为150左右。
It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for the family when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking towards the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn’t walking in his usual way. He was obviously walking with a great effort, trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, towards the house.
Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow and purposeful step towards the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he carried. Branches and thorns slapped(拍打) his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leant against a tree to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer laying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap(舔着喝) the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hand.
When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
And later I knew what was going on.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. My curiosity once again drove me to follow him back. After he reached the kitchen, he turned on the tap. As he was trying hard to cup both hands to receive the water, it was still running away through his fingers. And he also had great difficulty turning off the tap with hands occupied. He seemed to be so sorry for his wasting of water. Wearing a note of upset on his face, he carried it carefully towards the woods.
And later I knew what was going on. It began to make sense to me why he wasn’t walking in his usual way. I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart working so hard to save a life. As my tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops. . . and more drops. It was as if the nature itself was moved by the great effort made by my son and began to rain.
