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 dangers 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 U.S. 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, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a 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 civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,”said Parks. 21. Which of the following is true about Jane Addams according to the passage? A. She was born in a poor family. B. She won the Nobel Peace Prize. C. She was not good at law work. D. She was never helped by social workers. 22. Why was O’Connor refused by the law firm? A. Because she was a woman. B. Because she had little work experience. C. Because she was lack of training. D. Because she had not enough money. 23. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the passage? A. They are highly educated. B. They are pioneers. C. They are peace-lovers. D. They are truly creative. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了在过去100年内四位杰出的女性。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.(1931年，Addams成为第一位获得诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性)”可知，Jane Addams获得了诺贝尔和平奖。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“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，Sandra Day O’connor在斯坦福法学院获得班级第三名，但她无法在律师事务所找到工作，因为她是女性)”可知，Sandra Day O’connor被律所拒绝，是因为她是女性。故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?(在以下列出的杰出女性中，你认为谁是过去100年最重要的女性)”可知，以下四位女性与玛丽居里夫人，及蕾切尔卡森一样，在过去100年对人类进步做出巨大贡献的杰出女性。他们是社会的先锋。故选B。 B For Italy, part of the challenge is to transform places like Colle di Tora, a small town outside Rome, which are not so much cut off from the modern world, as a little behind. At the moment the post office-which the town’s 360 residents rely on to withdraw cash, as there is no bank-sometimes closes down because its Internet fails. Bad weather can interrupt the signal, and is also a problem for mobile phone reception and streaming TV services. The last time a customer tried to pay by card in Anna Rita Pani’s grocery store, things got a bit awkward. They had to wait 15 minutes for the card reader to work. Simona Cardella said her teenage daughter struggled with online lessons while schools were closed. Sometimes the audio was off, sometimes the video was off, and if the weather was bad, the signal was cut off completely. Mayor Pandolfi notes that taking latest generation broadband（光纤宽带）to isolated（隔绝的）areas like Colle Di Tora could make them attractive locations for remote working. For other residents, it would just bring them into the 21st century. Pani’s 22-year-old son Nicolas is a keen gamer, but he complains it can take “four-five days” to download a game that his friends in Rome can get in a couple of hours. Fortunately, Colle di Tora is on a government list of 200 cities for building the fibre optic broadband. This week, workers were laying fibre optic cables in one of the main squares, and telecoms company Open Fiber said super-fast Internet would be operational by the year’s end. Nearly a quarter of Italians do not use the Internet, and one third of households have no fixed connection, according to figures by national statistics agency Istat. The government wants every Italian to have access to super-fast Internet by 2026-but it has a long way to go. 24. What does the author think of towns like Colle di Tora? A. Places in imagination. B. Places everyone wants to visit. C. Places falling behind. D. Places with unique cultures. 25. Why are Anna’s and Simona’s cases mentioned in the text? A. To present their lifestyles. B. To make a comparison. C. To clarify a concept. D. To show the bad network. 26. What does Pandolfi think the newest broadband can do for his town? A. Make it fit for telework. B. Attract many more visitors. C. Bring peace to the residents. D. Allow the government to manage the town. 27. What is the author’s attitude to the Italian government’s plan? A. Tolerant. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Cautious. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了意大利政府改造像Colle di Tora这样落后地区的网络。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章的第一段“For Italy, part of the challenge is to transform places like Colle di Tora, a small town outside Rome, which are not so much cut off from the modern world, as a little behind.（对意大利来说，挑战的一部分是改造像Colle di Tora这样的地方。Colle di Tora是罗马城外的一个小镇，与其说是与现代世界隔绝，不如说是有点落后。）”可知，作者认为Colle di Tora这样的小镇是落后的。故选C项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段的“The last time a customer tried to pay by card in Anna Rita Pani’s grocery store（上次一位顾客在安娜的杂货店尝试刷卡付款）”和“They had to wait 15 minutes for the card reader to work.（他们等了15分钟读卡器才工作。）”以及第四段最后一句“Sometimes the audio was off, sometimes the video was off, and if the weather was bad, the signal was cut off completely.（有时音频关了，有时视频关了，如果天气不好，信号会完全切断）”，可推知网络不好。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第一句“Mayor Pandolfi notes that taking latest generation broadband（光纤宽带）to isolated（隔绝的）areas like Colle Di Tora could make them attractive locations for remote working.（市长Pandolfi）指出，把最新一代光纤宽带带到像Colle Di Tora这样隔绝的地区能够让他们成为远程工作的理想之地。”可知，A项“Make it fit for telework.（使它适合远程工作）”符合题意。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段的最后一句“The government wants every Italian to have access to super-fast Internet by 2026-but it has a long way to go.（政府希望每个意大利人到2026年都能接入超高速互联网，但这还有很长的路要走。）”，可知作者对于意大利政府的计划持一个谨慎的态度。故选D项。 C You can remember the face, but can't put a name to it. Many of us have been caught in this embarrassing situation. But researchers say it is often easier to remember someone's name than what they look like. Twenty-four volunteers were shown 40 pictures of strangers, paired with random(随机的) names. They were given time to memorize the faces and names before being tested on which they thought they had seen before. The participants could remember up to 85 percent of the names but only 73 percent of the faces. When they were shown a different picture of the same person, the participants could recall only 64 percent of faces, according to the study, led by the University of York. That may be because faces are only recognized visually(视觉地), while names can be both spoken and written down so appear in our visual and audio memory. When people were shown famous people, they also remembered their names more accurately than their photographs. Co-author Dr Rob Jenkins, from the university’s psychology department, said, ''Our study suggests that, while many people may be bad at remembering names, they are likely to be even worse at remembering faces. This will surprise many people as it is against our initial understanding. Our life experiences with names and faces have misled us about how our minds work. '' Remembering names gets harder with age, leading to many uncomfortable moments for middle-aged people when they run into people they know. But to study whether names are harder to recall than faces, the researchers, whose findings are published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, used a ''fair test'' where the participants were presented with strangers' names and faces. 28. What can we know according to the research in Paragraph 3? A. It is certain that names are harder to recall than faces. B. Remembering names is more easily than remembering faces. C. Most participants can remember the face not the name to it. D. The participants can recall 73% faces of the same person. 29. Which of the following will the author agree with? A. Age will weaken the ability to remember names. B. Unlike faces, names are only recognized visually. C. Faces can appear in our visual and audio memory. D. Rob Jenkins has proved people can remember faces better. 30. What does the underlined word ''initial'' in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Clear. B. first. C. Unusual. D. Creative. 31. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. People can't remember strangers’ names and faces. B. Recalling names is more difficult than remembering faces. C. The researcher uses the same method to study another problem. D. Whether names are harder to recall than faces is further proved. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。目前的研究表明名字比面孔更容易记住，这可能让很多人大吃一惊，因为这和人们平时的想法相左。短文介绍了这一研究过程。并指出随着年龄的增长，记住名字变得越来越困难。名字是否比面孔更难记忆要进一步证实。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的The participants could remember up to 85 percent of the names but only 73 percent of the faces.(参与者能记住多达85%的名字，但能记住的面孔只有73%)可知，记住名字比记住面孔更容易。B. Remembering names is more easily than remembering faces.(记住名字比记住面孔更容易)符合以上说法，故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的Remembering names gets harder with age, leading to many uncomfortable moments for middle-aged people when they run into people they know.(记住名字的能力会随着年龄增长而下降，这会导致很多中年人在遇到熟人时会有尴尬的时刻)可推测，作者认为记名字的能力会随着年龄增加而下降。A. Age will weaken the ability to remember names.(年龄会减弱记名字的能力)符合以上说法，故选A项。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段的You can remember the face, but can't put a name to it.(你可以记住面孔，但不能对上名字)和第四段的Our study suggests that, while many people may be bad at remembering names, they are likely to be even worse at remembering faces. This will surprise many people as it is against our initial understanding.(我们的研究表明，尽管有些人不擅长记住名字，但他们很有可能更不擅长记住面孔。这可能会使很多人吃惊，因为这和我们initial理解是相反的)可知，这个结果和他们之前的理解相左。由此推测划线部分的意思是“最初的/起初的/之前的”。B. first.(最初的)符合以上说法，故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段But to study whether names are harder to recall than faces, the researchers, whose findings are published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, used a ''fair test'' where the participants were presented with strangers' names and faces.(但，为了研究名字是否比面孔更难记忆，研究人员，他们的研究结果发表在《实验心里学》杂志上，使用了一种“公平测试”，在测试中研究人员给参与者展示了一些陌生的名字和面孔)可推测，名字是否比面孔更难记忆还需要进一步的证实。D. Whether names are harder to recall than faces is further proved.(名字是否比面孔更难记忆要进一步证实)符合以上推测，故选D项。 D Imagine an island untouched by humans and without any large mammals.Colorful and strange birds of all shapes and sizes fly over forests and seaside hills. The sky is painted with endless clouds. Flightless birds nest safely on the ground, and seabirds cover the beaches. The sound of the bird song is overwhelming. The Maori named this place “Aotearoa,” Land of the Long White Cloud. The world now knows it as New Zealand. When the Maori sailed their canoes across the Pacific Ocean from their homeland, Hawaiki, at least 120 different species of birds lived in Aotearoa. Eleven species of moa , an ostrich-like bird, moved freely, and the largest stood 11 feet tall. The Haast’s eagle dominated the skies with its wing span of nearly 10 feet. Because bats were the only mammals, Aotearoa was an actual bird paradise. Unfortunately, the Maori overhunted the moa for meat. As the moa disappeared, the Haast’s eagle lost its primary food source. By the time Europeans arrived in New Zealand, both birds were extinct. When European settlers arrived, they brought animals that attacked birds. These non-native animals exploded in number because they had no predators. Birds also lost habitat as forests were cut down for wood and pastures. Within a few hundred years of humans discovering and living in New Zealand, more than half the unique bird species were extinct. The whekau,found throughout New Zealand in the 1800s, was declared extinct in 1914. The piopio,considered the best songbird in Aotearoa, was last seen in the mid-1900s. Thirty percent of the species now alive are in danger because of other animals and loss of habitat. Scientists estimate nature would take 50 million years to replace the birds lost over the last 1,000 years. New Zealand conservationists are working to save the threatened species. 32. What does the first paragraph tell us? A. New Zealand is a paradise for birds. B. Aotearoa does not really exist. C. The Maori founded New Zealand. D. No mammals lived on the island. 33. What does the underlined word “predators” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. Partners. B. Killers. C. Friends. D. Settlers. 34. What mainly caused the disappearance of birds ? A. Threats from man and other animals. B. The arrival of Europeans. C. The lack of food sources. D. The increase in farmland. 35. What is the author most likely to talk about next? A. Why local officials stop hunting. B. What living conditions for natives are like. C. How many animals have survived on the island. D. What efforts conservationists take to guard bird species. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了由于人类活动和其他物种威胁，新西兰曾经丰富的鸟类减少甚至灭绝。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Colorful and strange birds of all shapes and sizes fly over forests and seaside hills. The sky is painted with endless clouds. Flightless birds nest safely on the ground, and seabirds cover the beaches. The sound of the bird song is overwhelming.”（各种形状和大小的五颜六色的奇怪的鸟飞越森林和海边的小山。天空布满了无尽的云彩。不会飞的鸟在地面上安全筑巢，海鸟在海滩上飞翔。鸟鸣声震耳欲聋。）可知，第一段主要说明鸟类在新西兰生活得很好，即：新西兰是鸟类的天堂。故选A项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“These non-native animals exploded in number”（这些非本地动物数量激增）可知，欧洲殖民者带来的动物数量激增，原因是这里没有物种可以杀死它们，推测划线单词表示“捕食性动物”，与killers同义。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Unfortunately, the Maori overhunted the moa for meat. As the moa disappeared, the Haast’s eagle lost its primary food source. By the time Europeans arrived in New Zealand, both birds were extinct.”（不幸的是，毛利人为了获取肉类而过度捕猎恐鸟。随着恐鸟的消失，哈斯特巨鹰失去了它的主要食物来源。当欧洲人到达新西兰时，这两种鸟都灭绝了。）以及第四段“Birds also lost habitat as forests were cut down for wood and pastures.”（由于森林被砍伐用作木材和牧场，鸟类也失去了栖息地）可知，人类活动导致鸟类消失，再根据第四段“When European settlers arrived, they brought animals that attacked birds.”（当欧洲殖民者到达时，他们带来了攻击鸟类的动物。）可知，欧洲殖民者带来攻击鸟类的动物威胁到鸟类，所以鸟类消失的主要原因是来自人类和其他动物的威胁。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“New Zealand conservationists are working to save the threatened species.”（新西兰自然环境保护主义者正在努力拯救受威胁的物种。）可知，接下来作者可能介绍自然环境保护主义者为拯救鸟类做出了哪些努力。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I did not go on my first hike until my mid-30s. I could blame it on the fact that I grew up on the Great Plains of South Dakota and North Dakota. But mostly, to be honest, I just wasn't interested. ___36___ I went on my first hike a few years back while living in Vernont. At the urging of my wife, and with my two young kids, we walked a beautiful forest path on a cool August morning. ___37___ When we reached the top, we ate lunch together overlooking a perfectly still pond and a scenic Vermont. A few weeks ago, my 11-year-old son, my 61-year-old dad, and I hiked Camelbeack Mountain in Phoenix. ___38___ And later this week, my wife and daughter will join us to walk the Waterfall Trail in the White Tank Mountains. Most of our hikes only last 2 hours. Now, just to be clear, by no means would I classify myself as an expert hiker. I love the stillness and calm of an empty path ___39___ But waking early on a Saturday morning to walk 3-5 miles along a forest path with lunch in the backpack is a journey I'd recommend to anyone. ___40___ It provides an opportunity to slow down and disconnect. And given the chance, hiking teaches us important truths about life. A. I've fallen in love with climbing mountains. B. I carried a small backpack with water and snacks. C. If you can climb a mountain, you can do anything. D. I didn't see the value and always shook my head when asked. E. It is healthy physical exercise that creates wonderful memories. F. And I have no plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or walk the Appalachian Trail. G. Last weekend, I hiked down the Grand Canyon with my son along the South Kaibab Trail. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. G 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者直到35岁左右才开始第一次远足而后喜欢上爬山的经历。作者认为这种锻炼方式提供了一个让生活慢下来、脱离尘世的机会。 【详解】根据上文“I just wasn't interested.(我只是不感兴趣)”可知，作者对徒步旅行不感兴趣。D项“I didn't see the value and always shook my head when asked.(我看不见徒步的价值，所以当被问到的时候我总是摇头。)”与前句意思符合。故选D项。 根据上文“At the urging of my wife, and with my two young kids, we walked a beautiful forest path on a cool August morning. (在妻子的催促下，我们带着两个年幼的孩子，在一个凉爽的8月的早晨走在一条美丽的森林小径上。) ”可知，本段讲述的是作者第一次的徒步经历，叙述了这个过程以及“我”在其中做了什么。B项“I carried a small backpack with water and snacks.(我背了个小背包，里面装了水和零食。)”讲述的是徒步前“我”的准备工作，故选B项。 根据上文“A few weeks ago, my 11-year-old son, my 61-year-old dad, and I hiked Camelbeack Mountain in Phoenix.(几周前，我和11岁儿子、61岁的爸爸一起去凤凰城的骆驼贝克山远足。)”本段继续讲述作者的几次徒步经历，所以句与句之间是并列关系。列举作者的徒步经历。G项“Last weekend, I hiked down the Grand Canyon with my son along the South Kaibab Trail.(上周末，我和我的儿子沿着南凯巴布步道沿着大峡谷徒步旅行。)”符合文意，故选G项。 根据上文“Now, just to be clear, by no means would I classify myself as an expert hiker. I love the stillness and calm of an empty path. (现在，澄清一下，我绝不会把自己归为远足专家。 我喜欢空旷小路上的宁静。) ”可知，作者认为他不是一个专业级别的徒步者，他只是喜欢山间小路的宁静祥和，没打算要去攀爬乞力马扎罗山。F项“And I have no plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or walk the Appalachian Trail.(我也不打算去爬乞力马扎罗山，也不打算去阿巴拉契亚山道。)”符合文意，故选F项。 根据后文“It provides an opportunity to slow down and disconnect. (它提供了一个放慢脚步、脱离现实的机会。)”可知，最后一段综述徒步的好处。E项“It is healthy physical exercise that creates wonderful memories.(只有健康的体育锻炼才能创造美好的回忆。)”符合文意，故选E项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I sat and waited for Kathleen to speak. “Annie, ” she said, “A food bank that serves the elderly is asking for ____41____ .

In fact,they protected them．There was one day when we were out in the bay during a hunt and James ____62____(wash) off the boat.''Man overboard! Turn the boat around!''urged George，____63____ (shout) loudly. The sea was rough that day and it was difficult ____64____( handle) the boat.The waves were carrying James further and further away from us. From James's face, I could see he was ____65____(terrify)of being abandoned by us. Then suddenly I saw a shark. ''Look，there's a shark out there,''I screamed.''Don't worry. Old Tom won't let____66____ near,''Red replied. It took over half an hour to get the boat back to James, and when we approached him,I saw James being ____67____(firm) held up in the water by Old Tom.

First of the all, I can shop on the Internet without leave my room. When I shop on the Internet, it take me only about half an hour to find the things I want. Second, I can send photos to people anywhere in the world for less than five minute just at home. The most important reason for me go online is to keep in touch with my friends but the people who are important to me. Going online had become a part of your life. For me, it’s a bridge what connects me to any place I like. 【答案】1.删除of后的the 2.leave→leaving 3.take→takes 4.for→in 5.minute→minutes 6.go前加to 7.but→and 8.had→has 9.your→my 10.what→that/which 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述网络的益处。首先，可以网上购物，花费时间很少；其次，可以网上传送照片；最重要的是网络可以与朋友和最重要的人保持联系。 【详解】1.考查固定搭配。句意：首先，我可以在网上购物而不用离开我的房间。first of all意为“首先”，是固定搭配。故删除of后的the。 2.考查非谓语动词。句意：首先，我可以在网上购物而不用离开我的房间。without是介词，后接动词时用动名词形式。故leave改为leaving。 3.考查主谓一致。句意：当我在网上购物时，我只需要半个小时就能找到我想要的东西。结合语境和上文shop可知，此处陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语it是第三人称单数，谓语动词take应用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式。故take改为takes。 4.考查介词。句意：第二，我可以在家里不到五分钟的时间里把照片发给世界上任何地方的人。根据句意表示“在不到五分钟内”应用in less than five minutes。故for改为in 5.考查名词的数。句意：第二，我可以在家里不到五分钟的时间里把照片发给世界上任何地方的人。minute“分钟”是可数名词，前面有基数词five，应用其复数形式。故minute改为minutes。 6.考查非谓语动词。句意：我上网最重要的原因是为了和我的朋友和对我重要的人保持联系。分析可知，此处应用go的不定式形式和me构成不定式复合结构，作介词for的宾语。故go前加to。 7.考查连词。句意：我上网最重要的原因是为了和我的朋友和对我重要的人保持联系。结合句意可知，“朋友”和“对我来说重要的人”是并列而非转折关系，应用and连接。故but改为and。 8.考查动词时态。句意：上网已经成为我生活中重要的一部分。结合语境，此处强调过去的动作对现在的影响，应用现在完成时，主语是going online，助动词用has；而过去完成时则表达动作发生在过去之前，不符合语境。故had改为has。 9.考查代词。句意：上网已经成为我生活中重要的一部分。通读全文可知，文章是以第一人称叙述的，故此处应之网络已经成为“我”生活中重要的一部分，用my修饰life。故your改为my。 10.考查定语从句连接词。句意：对我来说，它是连接我和任何我喜欢的地方的桥梁。本句为定语从句修饰先行词place，从句缺少主语，应用关系代词that/which引导。故what改为that/which。 第二节 书面表达(满分25分) 72. 假设你是李华，明天就是你的生日了，而且高考很快就要到了，你有很多话想对父母说。请你以书信的形式按照以下要点给父母写一封信。 词数：100-120 写作要点：1.感恩父母；2.对父母的期望；3.自己学习、人生的打算。 Dear Mom and Dad, Tomorrow is my birthday and the annual college entrance examination is around the corner.

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 dangers 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 U.S. 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, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a 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 civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,”said Parks. 21. Which of the following is true about Jane Addams according to the passage? A. She was born in a poor family. B. She won the Nobel Peace Prize. C. She was not good at law work. D. She was never helped by social workers. 22. Why was O’Connor refused by the law firm? A. Because she was a woman. B. Because she had little work experience. C. Because she was lack of training. D. Because she had not enough money. 23. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the passage? A. They are highly educated. B They are pioneers. C. They are peace-lovers. D. They are truly creative. B For Italy, part of the challenge is to transform places like Colle di Tora, a small town outside Rome, which are not so much cut off from the modern world, as a little behind. At the moment the post office-which the town’s 360 residents rely on to withdraw cash, as there is no bank-sometimes closes down because its Internet fails. Bad weather can interrupt the signal, and is also a problem for mobile phone reception and streaming TV services. The last time a customer tried to pay by card in Anna Rita Pani’s grocery store, things got a bit awkward. They had to wait 15 minutes for the card reader to work. Simona Cardella said her teenage daughter struggled with online lessons while schools were closed. Sometimes the audio was off sometimes the video was off, and if the weather was bad, the signal was cut off completely. Mayor Pandolfi notes that taking latest generation broadband（光纤宽带）to isolated（隔绝的）areas like Colle Di Tora could make them attractive locations for remote working. For other residents, it would just bring them into the 21st century. Pani’s 22-year-old son Nicolas is a keen gamer, but he complains it can take “four-five days” to download a game that his friends in Rome can get in a couple of hours. Fortunately, Colle di Tora is on a government list of 200 cities for building the fibre optic broadband. This week, workers were laying fibre optic cables in one of the main squares, and telecoms company Open Fiber said super-fast Internet would be operational by the year’s end. Nearly a quarter of Italians do not use the Internet, and one third of households have no fixed connection, according to figures by national statistics agency Istat. The government wants every Italian to have access to super-fast Internet by 2026-but it has a long way to go. 24. What does the author think of towns like Colle di Tora? A. Places in imagination. B.

But researchers say it is often easier to remember someone's name than what they look like. Twenty-four volunteers were shown 40 pictures of strangers, paired with random(随机的) names. They were given time to memorize the faces and names before being tested on which they thought they had seen before. The participants could remember up to 85 percent of the names but only 73 percent of the faces. When they were shown a different picture of the same person, the participants could recall only 64 percent of faces, according to the study, led by the University of York. That may be because faces are only recognized visually(视觉地), while names can be both spoken and written down so appear in our visual and audio memory. When people were shown famous people, they also remembered their names more accurately than their photographs. Co-author Dr Rob Jenkins, from the university’s psychology department, said, ''Our study suggests that, while many people may be bad at remembering names, they are likely to be even worse at remembering faces. This will surprise many people as it is against our initial understanding. Our life experiences with names and faces have misled us about how our minds work. '' Remembering names gets harder with age, leading to many uncomfortable moments for middle-aged people when they run into people they know. But to study whether names are harder to recall than faces, the researchers, whose findings are published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, used a ''fair test'' where the participants were presented with strangers' names and faces. 28. What can we know according to the research in Paragraph 3? A. It is certain that names are harder to recall than faces. B. Remembering names is more easily than remembering faces. C. Most participants can remember the face not the name to it. D. The participants can recall 73% faces of the same person. 29. Which of the following will the author agree with? A. Age will weaken the ability to remember names. B. Unlike faces, names are only recognized visually. C. Faces can appear in our visual and audio memory. D. Rob Jenkins has proved people can remember faces better. 30. What does the underlined word ''initial'' in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Clear. B. first. C. Unusual. D. Creative. 31. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. People can't remember strangers’ names and faces. B. Recalling names is more difficult than remembering faces. C. The researcher uses the same method to study another problem. D. Whether names are harder to recall than faces is further proved. D Imagine an island untouched by humans and without any large mammals.Colorful and strange birds of all shapes and sizes fly over forests and seaside hills. The sky is painted with endless clouds. Flightless birds nest safely on the ground, and seabirds cover the beaches. The sound of the bird song is overwhelming. The Maori named this place “Aotearoa,” Land of the Long White Cloud. The world now knows it as New Zealand. When the Maori sailed their canoes across the Pacific Ocean from their homeland, Hawaiki, at least 120 different species of birds lived in Aotearoa. Eleven species of moa , an ostrich-like bird, moved freely, and the largest stood 11 feet tall. The Haast’s eagle dominated the skies with its wing span of nearly 10 feet. Because bats were the only mammals, Aotearoa was an actual bird paradise. Unfortunately the Maori overhunted the moa for meat. As the moa disappeared, the Haast’s eagle lost its primary food source. By the time Europeans arrived in New Zealand, both birds were extinct. When European settlers arrived, they brought animals that attacked birds. These non-native animals exploded in number because they had no predators. Birds also lost habitat as forests were cut down for wood and pastures. Within a few hundred years of humans discovering and living in New Zealand, more than half the unique bird species were extinct. The whekau,found throughout New Zealand in the 1800s, was declared extinct in 1914. The piopio,considered the best songbird in Aotearoa, was last seen in the mid-1900s. Thirty percent of the species now alive are in danger because of other animals and loss of habitat. Scientists estimate nature would take 50 million years to replace the birds lost over the last 1,000 years. New Zealand conservationists are working to save the threatened species. 32. What does the first paragraph tell us? A. New Zealand is a paradise for birds. B. Aotearoa does not really exist. C. The Maori founded New Zealand. D. No mammals lived on the island. 33. What does the underlined word “predators” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. Partners. B. Killers. C. Friends. D. Settlers. 34. What mainly caused the disappearance of birds ? A. Threats from man and other animals. B. The arrival of Europeans. C. The lack of food sources. D. The increase in farmland. 35. What is the author most likely to talk about next? A. Why local officials stop hunting. B. What living conditions for natives are like. C. How many animals have survived on the island. D. What efforts conservationists take to guard bird species. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I did not go on my first hike until my mid-30s.
