B It is halfway through October.The sun arrives early and I stare out my window,feeling shame for invading the privacy of the homeless woman who has settled across the street.I am not sure when she first appeared,maybe a month ago.Each morning I watch as she gets out from the narrow space between the two large buildings across from mine. She wears the same dirty,badly torn dress every day.I can see she fights to pull herself up into a standing position.She fails on the first two or three tries,but determination always wins out.She remains leaning against the wall for several long minutes,appearing to gather the necessary strength needed to pick up her possessions-all packed into five plastic bags.With tears in my eyes,I watch as she places her feet pointing outward to avoid falling.Her steps are measured and cautious as she slowly makes her way to the corner and disappears. When I first noticed this woman,I went across the street and offered her 20 dollars,but she turned her back to me and pretended not to see me.The expression on her face was one of shame, causing me to feel guilty for invading her privacy.The next night I bought a hotdog and a Coke,and left them in the spot when she was not there.Feeling like a spy,I watched as she ate the hotdog like a starving cat that had not eaten for days 高二英语试题 第4页共12页 I too often find myself complaining about life,but when I look out my window and see the old woman,I feel the need to apologize for my foolish pride in not realizing how fortunate I really am There are many poor people in my town.I have become familiar with many of their faces,and then suddenly they disappear.I know that one day the old woman will be gone and I will have no idea where she is.I fear that day. 24.What is the main idea of paragraph 2?

C.Determined. D.Easw-going. C A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with tight eyes looking at a microscope.Time is short, the pays-off are high,and only this scientist can save everyone.That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time.But it's far from the truth. Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects,such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth's temperature increase.Others may investigate the"what"rather than the "why"of things.For example,ecologists build models to estimate gray wolf abundance in Montana, US.It's impractical to spot them all and count them.Abundance models are not 100 percent accurate, but they offer estimates that seem good enough to set harvesting quotas (and maintain the ecosystem. Beyond the "what"and the "why",scientists may focus on the"how".For instance,the lives of 高二英语试题第5页共12页 people living with illnesses can be improved by research on how to relieve symptoms,even if the true causes of their disorders are largely unknown to current medicine. People often think "real science"should provide definite,complete and perfect answers to their questions.However,given various limitations and the world's complexity,keeping multiple perspectives in play is often the best way for scientists to reach their goals and solve the problems at hand. In the world of science,healthy disagreement is a feature,not a bug.Science is a social process in which the community's scrutiny (ensures we have the best available knowledge."Best available"does not mean"definitive",but the best we have until we find out how to improve it. The long history of atomism (shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone.As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussion regarding atoms,questions about the atom's properties were about to spark decades of controversy (with the birth of quantum (physics.Similar discussions continue to the present day. So,real science is a collective,imperfect and may-sided process in which scientists contribute multiple and often partial solutions to complex and diverse problems. 28.How does the author introduce the topic of the article?
