Leslie Jones is a well-known comedian and actress, best known for her time on “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) and her work in stand-up comedy. Her journey into comedy started unexpectedly.
When she was a college freshman, and a friend signed her up for a campus comedy contest. Despite having no previous experience in stand-up, she immediately felt comfortable on stage and won the contest. This experience lit her passion for comedy. However, Leslie Jones faced challenges in pursuing(追求) a professional comedy career.
At the age of 19, she received advice from Jamie Foxx, who suggested that she needed more life experiences to draw material from for her comedy. Foxx advised her to go out, live life, work various jobs, and gain a broader range of experiences to enrich her comedy. Jones took Foxx’s advice to heart and took on a series of jobs, including working as a justice of the peace at weddings and even working for a construction company owned by Scientologists. Throughout these experiences, she kept her ultimate goal of becoming a comedian in mind.
In her memoir, Leslie Jones, she reflects on her upbringing as a military brat, her journey through the male-dominated (男人主宰的) world of comedy clubs, and her eventual breakthrough when she joined the cast of SNL in 2014 at the age of 47.
One unique aspect of Leslie Jones’ comedy style is her commitment to physical comedy, even if it sometimes results in injury. She’s willing to take risks and use her physicality to get laughs from her audience. She’s known for her energetic and bold performances, which often involve physical performance or exaggerated movements.
In summary, Leslie Jones’ comedy career began unexpectedly in college, and despite facing initial challenges, she pursued a variety of life experiences to enrich her comedy. Her devotion to physical comedy and her unique approach have contributed to her success in the entertainment industry.

Chinese material scientists have found the soil on the moon may potentially be able to generate oxygen and fuel, a finding that means more possibilities of humans to use lunar resources to further exploration of the moon and beyond.
The researchers at Nanjing University showed that the lunar sample brought back by China’s Chang’e-5 contains active compounds (化合物) that can change carbon dioxide into oxygen and fuel. Initially, they hoped to design a system that took advantage of lunar soil and solar radiation, the two rich resources on the moon, according to a study published on Thursday in the journal Joule.
After analyzing the Chang’e-5’s lunar soil, the team found the sample contained metal- rich substances, which could work as a catalyst (催化剂) to make oxygen using sunlight and carbon dioxide. The team proposed a strategy using lunar soil to electrolyze water from the moon and the astronauts’ life support system into oxygen and hydrogen. The process was powered by sunlight. The carbon dioxide breathed out by moon inhabitants can be collected and combined with hydrogen to produce the fuel, also catalyzed by the lunar soil, according to the study. The researchers said with this method, no external energy apart from sunlight would be used to produce oxygen and fuel to support life on a moon base.
“We use the environmental resources to minimize rocket payload, and our strategy provides a scenario for a sustainable and affordable living environment for life out of the Earth,” said the paper’s first author Yao Yingfang from Nanjing University, expressing his assumption.
“The challenge lies in the fact that catalytic efficiency of lunar soil is lower than catalysts on the Earth,” said the researchers. They are testing different approaches in order to improve the design. The team is looking for an opportunity to test the system in space with China’s future manned lunar missions.
8. What is the main implication of Chinese scientists’ discovery of the moon’s soil?
A. The moon is rich in rare elements. B. Lunar soil can be used for exploring space.
C. The moon can be lived on by humans. D. Lunar soil is a new renewable energy source.
9. What did the researchers work on according to paragraph 3?
A. The process of the sun producing light.
B. The analysis of China’s Chang’e-5’s work.
C. The supportive method producing metal-rich substances.
D. The sustainable living strategy employing lunar resources.
10. What does the underlined word “scenario” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Contract. B. Profession. C. Possibility. D. Sponsor.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The discovery of active compounds on the moon.
B. The testing approaches to improving the lunar soil.
C. The research on the environmental system of the moon.
D. The study of using lunar soil for oxygen and fuel production.
D
Britain is launching the world’s largest ever clinical trial of the Galleri test, which picks up pieces of genetic code from DNA before symptoms such as lumps (肿块) appear. The test is a game-changer for early cancer detection, which can detect more than 50 types of the disease in the very early stages. It has been developed by GRAIL, a healthcare company focusing on early cancer detection.
National Health Service (NHS) chief executive Amanda Pritchard said, this quick and simple blood test could mark the beginning of a revolution in cancer detection and treatment here and around the world. By finding cancer before signs and symptoms appear, we have the best chance of treating it and we can give people the best chance of survival.
NHS has sent out invites across the country offering the test to 140,000 people aged 50 to 77with no cancer symptoms. Another 6,000 with suspected signs have been offered to speed up their diagnosis (诊断). Blood samples will be taken at mobile clinics in retail parks and community locations. Laboratory analysis produces a result in a fortnight. Each test costs $ 620 but NHS has negotiated a discounted price. Half the participants will have their blood screened with the Galleri test right away and samples from the rest will be stored and tested in the future. This will allow scientists to compare the stage at which any tumours (肿瘤) are detected between the two groups.
“The Galleri test can not only detect a wide range of cancer types but can also predict where the cancer is in the body with a high degree of accuracy. Earlier trial results showed it can detect 68% of12 deadly cancers,” Health Secretary Sajid Javid said. In England 56% of cancers are diagnosed at stage one or two. NHS aims to increase that to three quarters by 2028. If found early there are a broader range of treatment options available, which can be curative and are often less aggressive.
12. What can be learned about the Galleri test?
A. It can spot early-stage cancers. B. It has been developed by NHS.
C. It is an effective cure for diseases. D. It has been completed in Britain.
13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. The test is carried out free of charge.
B. The test results will come out the following night.
C. Some blood samples will be saved for future use.
D. NHS has offered the test to people from home and abroad.
14. Why is Sajid Javid’s words mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To prove the necessity of the test. B. To show the testing process.
C. To explain the purpose of NHS. D. To stress the harm caused by cancer.
15. What will the Galleri test impact on cancer patients?
A. It will diagnose all kinds of disease easily.
B. It will reduce the medical burden.
C. It will be helpful to observe patients’ illness and assess curative effect, and to make specific treatment pertinently.
D. It will make people’s lives happier and meaningful.

Anybody passing by the school’s football ground wouldn’t miss noticing Jake Harvey and his friends talking about soccer. The boys always thought they would merely select those who had the physique(体格)and skills to represent their team.
One day, the team’s “head”, as they called him, Jake, was busy playing soccer with his friends when the newcomer, Sam, in their class walked over. The little boy called out saying he was ready to play, but Jake’s team paused and turned in disbelief, staring at the boy’s artificial leg. “How on earth will you play for us with that artificial leg?” Jake said. Sam got depressed when Jake’s words echoed in his ears. He almost cried but he didn’t want his tears to weaken him in front of the boys.
Meanwhile, Mr. Jones, the school’s physical trainer, saw the whole thing from his office window. After the practice session, he walked over to Jake and took him aside for a word in private. “I saw what happened, and if I’m not wrong, you sent away that newcomer, right?” Mr. Jones asked Jake. “Do you have any idea who he is?” Jake was shocked after Mr. Jones revealed Sam’s background.
As it turned out, Sam was captain of the soccer team in his previous school. He was also an excellent goalkeeper who had won several gold medals for his team. “Maybe, Mr. Jones... But I don’t see any hope of having him on our team. Just look at his leg,” Jake said to the teacher.
Seeing that Jake felt dissatisfied with Sam’s condition, Mr. Jones unfolded another story about how Sam lost his leg.
One day, Sam’s school bus met with a car accident on the way back from a trip. The school bus was set on fire;though Sam got out and reached safety, he realized one of his classmates was still on the school bus. He risked his own life to save her without hesitation. With all his strength, he carried her out of the bus. As a result, the girl was saved but Sam’s leg was severely injured and had to be amputated(截肢).
Paragraph 1:
Jake was deeply moved by Sam’s bravery and became teary-eyed.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The next day, Jake went to the classroom, saying he had an important announcement to make.

Chinese material scientists have found the soil on the moon may potentially be able to generate oxygen and fuel, a finding that means more possibilities of humans to use lunar resources to further exploration of the moon and beyond.
The researchers at Nanjing University showed that the lunar sample brought back by China’s Chang’e-5 contains active compounds (化合物) that can change carbon dioxide into oxygen and fuel. Initially, they hoped to design a system that took advantage of lunar soil and solar radiation, the two rich resources on the moon, according to a study published on Thursday in the journal Joule.
After analyzing the Chang’e-5’s lunar soil, the team found the sample contained metal- rich substances, which could work as a catalyst (催化剂) to make oxygen using sunlight and carbon dioxide. The team proposed a strategy using lunar soil to electrolyze water from the moon and the astronauts’ life support system into oxygen and hydrogen. The process was powered by sunlight. The carbon dioxide breathed out by moon inhabitants can be collected and combined with hydrogen to produce the fuel, also catalyzed by the lunar soil, according to the study. The researchers said with this method, no external energy apart from sunlight would be used to produce oxygen and fuel to support life on a moon base.
“We use the environmental resources to minimize rocket payload, and our strategy provides a scenario for a sustainable and affordable living environment for life out of the Earth,” said the paper’s first author Yao Yingfang from Nanjing University, expressing his assumption.
“The challenge lies in the fact that catalytic efficiency of lunar soil is lower than catalysts on the Earth,” said the researchers. They are testing different approaches in order to improve the design. The team is looking for an opportunity to test the system in space with China’s future manned lunar missions.
8. What is the main implication of Chinese scientists’ discovery of the moon’s soil?
A. The moon is rich in rare elements. B. Lunar soil can be used for exploring space.
C. The moon can be lived on by humans. D. Lunar soil is a new renewable energy source.
9. What did the researchers work on according to paragraph 3?
A. The process of the sun producing light.
B. The analysis of China’s Chang’e-5’s work.
C. The supportive method producing metal-rich substances.
D. The sustainable living strategy employing lunar resources.
10. What does the underlined word “scenario” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Contract. B. Profession. C. Possibility. D. Sponsor.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The discovery of active compounds on the moon.
B. The testing approaches to improving the lunar soil.
C. The research on the environmental system of the moon.
D. The study of using lunar soil for oxygen and fuel production.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Chinese material scientists have found the soil on the moon may potentially be able to generate oxygen and fuel, a finding that means more possibilities of humans to use lunar resources to further exploration of the moon and beyond.(中国材料科学家发现,月球上的土壤可能能够产生氧气和燃料,这一发现意味着人类利用月球资源进一步探索月球及其他地方的可能性更大。)”可知,中国科学家发现月球土壤能够产生氧气和燃料,这意味着可以利用月球土壤进一步探索太空。故选B。
9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The team proposed a strategy using lunar soil to electrolyze water from the moon and the astronauts’ life support system into oxygen and hydrogen. The process was powered by sunlight. The carbon dioxide breathed out by moon inhabitants can be collected and combined with hydrogen to produce the fuel, also catalyzed by the lunar soil, according to the study.(该团队提出了一种策略,利用月球土壤将月球和宇航员生命维持系统中的水电解成氧气和氢气。这个过程是由阳光驱动的。根据这项研究,月球居民呼出的二氧化碳可以被收集起来,并与氢结合来生产燃料,也可以由月球土壤催化。) ”可知,研究人员利用月球资源进行可持续生存策略的研究。故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段的“The researchers said with this method, no external energy apart from sunlight would be used to produce oxygen and fuel to support life on a moon base. (研究人员表示,通过这种方法,除了阳光之外,不需要任何外部能量被用来产生氧气和燃料,以支持月球基地的生命。)”可知,目前人类在月球上不能像在地球上一样生存,再由第四段的“for a sustainable and affordable living environment for life out of the Earth(为地球以外的生命提供一个可持续的、负担得起的生活环境)”可知,通过对月球土壤资源的研究利用,人类有望在月球上得以生存,因此划线词意为“愿景,构想”,和C项:Possibility(发展前景,潜能)含义相近。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Chinese material scientists have found the soil on the moon may potentially be able to generate oxygen and fuel, a finding that means more possibilities of humans to use lunar resources to further exploration of the moon and beyond.(中国材料科学家发现,月球上的土壤可能能够产生氧气和燃料,这一发现意味着人类利用月球资源进一步探索月球及其他地方的可能性更大。)”和第二段的“The researchers at Nanjing University showed that the lunar sample brought back by China’s Chang’e- 5 contains active compounds (化合物) that can change carbon dioxide into oxygen and fuel. Initially, they hoped to design a system that took advantage of lunar soil and solar radiation, the two rich resources on the moon, according to a study published on Thursday in the journal Joule.(南京大学的研究人员表明,中国嫦娥五号带回的月球样本含有活性化合物,可以将二氧化碳转化为氧气和燃料。根据周四发表在《焦耳》杂志上的一项研究,最初,他们希望设计一个利用月球土壤和太阳辐射的系统,这是月球上两种丰富的资源。)”可知,这篇文章讲述了中国科学家发现月球土壤可以用于生产氧气和燃料,这意味着可以利用月球土壤进一步探索太空。故选D。

Britain is launching the world’s largest ever clinical trial of the Galleri test, which picks up pieces of genetic code from DNA before symptoms such as lumps (肿块) appear. The test is a game-changer for early cancer detection, which can detect more than 50 types of the disease in the very early stages. It has been developed by GRAIL, a healthcare company focusing on early cancer detection.
National Health Service (NHS) chief executive Amanda Pritchard said, this quick and simple blood test could mark the beginning of a revolution in cancer detection and treatment here and around the world. By finding cancer before signs and symptoms appear, we have the best chance of treating it and we can give people the best chance of survival.
NHS has sent out invites across the country offering the test to 140,000 people aged 50 to 77with no cancer symptoms. Another 6,000 with suspected signs have been offered to speed up their diagnosis (诊断). Blood samples will be taken at mobile clinics in retail parks and community locations. Laboratory analysis produces a result in a fortnight. Each test costs $ 620 but NHS has negotiated a discounted price. Half the participants will have their blood screened with the Galleri test right away and samples from the rest will be stored and tested in the future. This will allow scientists to compare the stage at which any tumours (肿瘤) are detected between the two groups.
“The Galleri test can not only detect a wide range of cancer types but can also predict where the cancer is in the body with a high degree of accuracy. Earlier trial results showed it can detect 68% of12 deadly cancers,” Health Secretary Sajid Javid said. In England 56% of cancers are diagnosed at stage one or two. NHS aims to increase that to three quarters by 2028. If found early there are a broader range of treatment options available, which can be curative and are often less aggressive.
12. What can be learned about the Galleri test?
A. It can spot early-stage cancers. B. It has been developed by NHS.
C. It is an effective cure for diseases. D. It has been completed in Britain.
13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. The test is carried out free of charge.
B. The test results will come out the following night.
C. Some blood samples will be saved for future use.
D. NHS has offered the test to people from home and abroad.
14. Why is Sajid Javid’s words mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To prove the necessity of the test. B. To show the testing process.
C. To explain the purpose of NHS. D. To stress the harm caused by cancer.
15. What will the Galleri test impact on cancer patients?
A. It will diagnose all kinds of disease easily.
B. It will reduce the medical burden.
C. It will be helpful to observe patients’ illness and assess curative effect, and to make specific treatment pertinently.
D. It will make people’s lives happier and meaningful.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. C

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Anybody passing by the school’s football ground wouldn’t miss noticing Jake Harvey and his friends talking about soccer. The boys always thought they would merely select those who had the physique(体格)and skills to represent their team.
One day, the team’s “head”, as they called him, Jake, was busy playing soccer with his friends when the newcomer, Sam, in their class walked over. The little boy called out saying he was ready to play, but Jake’s team paused and turned in disbelief, staring at the boy’s artificial leg. “How on earth will you play for us with that artificial leg?” Jake said. Sam got depressed when Jake’s words echoed in his ears. He almost cried but he didn’t want his tears to weaken him in front of the boys.
Meanwhile, Mr. Jones, the school’s physical trainer, saw the whole thing from his office window. After the practice session, he walked over to Jake and took him aside for a word in private. “I saw what happened, and if I’m not wrong, you sent away that newcomer, right?” Mr. Jones asked Jake. “Do you have any idea who he is?” Jake was shocked after Mr. Jones revealed Sam’s background.
As it turned out, Sam was captain of the soccer team in his previous school. He was also an excellent goalkeeper who had won several gold medals for his team. “Maybe, Mr. Jones... But I don’t see any hope of having him on our team. Just look at his leg,” Jake said to the teacher.
Seeing that Jake felt dissatisfied with Sam’s condition, Mr. Jones unfolded another story about how Sam lost his leg.
One day, Sam’s school bus met with a car accident on the way back from a trip. The school bus was set on fire;though Sam got out and reached safety, he realized one of his classmates was still on the school bus. He risked his own life to save her without hesitation. With all his strength, he carried her out of the bus. As a result, the girl was saved but Sam’s leg was severely injured and had to be amputated(截肢).
Paragraph 1:
Jake was deeply moved by Sam’s bravery and became teary-eyed.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The next day, Jake went to the classroom, saying he had an important announcement to make.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Jake was deeply moved by Sam’s bravery and became teary-eyed. He told Mr. Jones he was terribly sorry about his rudeness to Sam. “It’s not all about winning or losing, but about having the heart to love everyone and appreciate their talents,” Mr. Jones told Jake and left. Reflecting on these words, Jake felt more regretful. He then gathered the members of his team, and after a short discussion, they reached an agreement that they believed would be a surprise to Sam.
Paragraph 2:
The next day Jake went to the classroom, saying he had an important announcement to make. All the classmates turned to him, including Sam. Hearing he had been selected as the new goalkeeper of the team, Sam could hardly believe his ears. Then Jake walked up to Sam, making a public apology to him. Realizing what was happening, Sam smiled and said with gratitude, “Thank you! Jake.” Mr. Jones watched them from outside the classroom, feeling relieved at the scene.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Sam想加入足球队,但遭到足球队长Jake的嘲笑和拒绝,因为Sam拥有一条假腿,教练Jones发现这件事后叫过来Jake,并讲述Sam以前也是足球队长,但因为在一次救同学时失去了腿。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Jake被Sam的勇敢深深感动,泪眼汪汪。”可知,第一段可重点写Jake对自己所做之事的后悔以及想要做些事来弥补自己的过错。
②由第二段首句内容“第二天,Jake来到教室,说他有一个重要的公告要宣布。”可知,第二段可重点写Jake宣布Sam为守门员并向他道歉,Sam很感动,教练Jones也很欣慰。
2.续写线索:Jake感到后悔——Jake决定弥补自己的过错——宣布Sam为守门员并道歉——Sam很感动——教练Jones很满意
3.词汇激活

①.宣布: say/announce/declare
②.道歉:make an apology/apologize/say sorry
③.发生: happen/occur /take place
