So last summer, I travelled to Bolivia. The natives, called the Tsimane,were reported to have the healthiest hearts in the world. I wanted to learn what they could teach me about preventing heart disease. Getting to the Tsimane wasn’t easy. They lived in small family groups of about 60 people along river banks. We finally found one of the villages at sunset. That night, we set up our tents in the middle of the village. Thatched huts (茅草屋) surrounded us, with no electricity or modern conveniences. I initially thought they mainly got their calories from meat. However, I found food such as rice and corn made up nearly 70% of their diet. The food was not processed, lacking added sugars or salts. During my stay there, I went hunting and fishing with the men and played soccer with the kids. I found the Tsimane were standing or walking nearly all of their waking hours. Men spent lots of time tracking animals. Farming and gathering, mostly done by children and women,were all-day affairs. I also got a clear idea of how they rested. As soon as the sun went down, people returned to their huts and went to sleep. And with the call of the cock in the morning, another day began. The lifespan (平均寿命) of the Tsimane is actually much shorter than those living in the US. Various factors,like animal attacks and infections, bring down the lifespan. But up until the day they die, they are often very healthy. While heart disease kills thousands of Americans every year and costs nearly a billion dollars a day, the Tsimane remind us that wealth doesn't necessarily buy health. 4. Why does the author pay so much attention to preventing heart disease? A. He wants to teach others about the topic. B. His family members encourage him to do so. C. He was born with a high risk of heart disease. D. He dreams of becoming a doctor. 5. Which factors did the author mainly focus on in his research? A. Diet, activity and rest. B. Housing, food and cooperation. C. Physical work, social life and lifespan. D. Group size, family history and consumption. 6. What was the Tsimane’s sleep-wake cycle mainly based on? A. Natural light. B. Natural sound. C. Routine activity. D. Animal behaviour. 7. What might the author advise us to do after his travels in Bolivia? A. Stand less and walk more. B. Take in less sugar and salt. C. Eat white meat instead of red meat. D. Live in the middle of the community. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是作者为防治心脏病，与心脏最为健康的提斯曼人生活一段时间，观察他们的饮食、活动和生活作息。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的第一句“Preventing heart disease is a topic I think about all the time, given my family history of heart disease.(如何预防心脏病是我一直在思考的问题，因为我有家族心脏病史)”可知，作者非常重视心脏病的预防，因为他生下来就有很高的心脏病风险。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。作者研究的焦点主要从以下三点得出。首先，文章第三段“I initially thought they mainly got their calories from meat. However, I found food such as rice and corn made up nearly 70% of their diet. The food was not processed, lacking added sugars or salts.(我起先以为他们主要通过肉类获取热量。可是，我发现大米和玉米占了他们饮食的70%。食物未经加工，不加糖和盐)”介绍了他们获取热量的来源、饮食占比和食物加工与否，说明作者关注了他们的饮食，也就是“diet”。其次，根据文章第四段的最后两句“Men spent lots of time tracking animals. Farming and gathering, mostly done by children and women,were all-day affairs.(男子大部分时间都在追踪动物。大部分女子和孩子整日务农和采摘果子)”可知，“tracking animals”“farming”和“gathering”都是他们的活动，所以作者关注了他们的活动，也就是“activity”。最后，根据文章第五段的第一句“I also got a clear idea of how they rested.(我还弄清楚了他们的作息方式)”可知，作者还关注了他们的生活作息，也就是“rest”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段的第二、三句“As soon as the sun went down, people returned to their huts and went to sleep. And with the call of the cock in the morning, another day began.(太阳一下山，他们就回到自己的屋子睡觉。早上公鸡打鸣，他们新的一天就又开始了)”可知，太阳下山和公鸡打鸣——公鸡打鸣代表天亮了——都与自然光息息相关。由此推知，提斯曼人的醒睡周期主要基于自然光。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段的最后一句“The food was not processed, lacking added sugars or salts.(食物未经加工，不加糖和盐)”可知，提斯曼人是饮食习惯是不加盐，也不加糖，而他们心脏很健康。由此推知，作者会建议大家少盐少糖。故选B项。 C United Airlines is aiming to have electric aircraft flying regional routes by the end of the decade, part of the company’s goal to fully reduce its carbon footprint to net zero by 2050. Those battery-powered aircraft are being developed by Swedish start-up Heart Aerospace, from which United Airlines placed an order for 100 planes in July 2021. United Airlines has pushed heavily into a variety of lower-emission forms of aviation, not only announcing plans to buy electric air taxis and vertical aircraft, as well as hydrogen-electric engines but also investing in the companies behind the advanced technologies. “We cannot continue doing and operating our business the way we do; it is important that we change it, and the way we’ re going to change it is through investing in technology,” Mike Leskinen, United Airlines Ventures president, said in an interview as part of CNBC’s ESG Impact virtual conference on Thursday. “Existing technology is going to either cause us to fly less, which is an unacceptable alternative, or continue with a carbon footprint, which we believe is equally unacceptable,” Leskinen said. Heart Aerospace, which recently redesigned what will be its first electric aircraft which is now called the ES-30, plans to have the planes enter service in 2028, said Anders Forslund, the company’s CEO and founder. The 30-passenger planes will be driven by electric motors with battery-derived energy, allowing the planes to have a fully electric range of 200 kilometers. The planes will also include a reserve- hybrid engine powered by sustainable aviation fuel, allowing it to have an extended range of up to 400 kilometers with a full flight. United Airlines could potentially offer those shorter routes not only with greater frequency but at a lower cost. Leskinen said. “As we adopt electric aircraft, I think the cost for a 30-seat aircraft or a 50-seat aircraft, as the industry evolves, is going to be lower than a traditional aircraft,” he said. For small cities, this means they are “going to get either service that they didn’t have before or greater frequency of service,” he added. 8. What message did Mike Leskinen try to deliver in paragraph 3? A. Economic benefits should come first. B. Environmental protection should come first. C. Economy and environment should be equally valued. D. Economy and environment can’t be balanced. 9. What do we learn about the electric planes mentioned in the text? A. They will offer short-distance flights. B. They will fly faster than traditional ones. C. They were developed by United Airlines. D. They each can hold 30 passengers at most. 10. What did Leskinen try to stress about the electric planes in the last paragraph? A. Their security performance. B. Their potential benefits. C. Their operating modes. D. Their possible problems. 11. Which would be the most suitable title for the text? A. ES-30 Will Be Driven by Electric Motors B. The Airline Industry Faces New Opportunities C. Heart Aerospace Plans to Develop Electric Planes D. United Airlines Aims to Have Electric Planes Flying 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了美国联合航空公司的目标是在2030年之前让电动飞机飞区域航线，这是该公司到2050年将碳足迹完全减少到净零目标的一部分。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段““Existing technology is going to either cause us to fly less, which is an unacceptable alternative, or continue with a carbon footprint, which we believe is equally unacceptable,” Leskinen said.(“现有的技术要么使我们减少飞行，这是一个不可接受的选择，要么继续增加碳足迹，我们认为这同样是不可接受的，”Leskinen说)”可知，Mike Leskinen认为，公司无法接受为了环保而让飞机减少飞行次数，而继续像现在这样大肆排放二氧化碳污染环境公司同样也无法接受。由此推知，环境保护和经济效益要兼顾是他们选择未来使用电动飞机的主要原因。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“United Airlines could potentially offer those shorter routes not only with greater frequency but at a lower cost.(Leskinen说，联合航空公司可能会提供这些较短的航线，不仅频率更高，而且成本更低)”可知，他们将会提供短途的航班。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“United Airlines could potentially offer those shorter routes not only with greater frequency but at a lower cost. Leskinen said. “As we adopt electric aircraft, I think the cost for a 30-seat aircraft or a 50-seat aircraft, as the industry evolves, is going to be lower than a traditional aircraft,” he said.(Leskinen说，联合航空公司可能会提供这些较短的航线，不仅频率更高，而且成本更低。“随着我们采用电动飞机，我认为随着行业的发展，30座或50座飞机的成本将低于传统飞机，”他说)”可推知，Mike Leskinen主要说明了这种电动飞机跟传统飞机相比之下的两大优势：其一是飞行成本低，其二是飞行频次高。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“United Airlines is aiming to have electric aircraft flying regional routes by the end of the decade, part of the company’s goal to fully reduce its carbon footprint to net zero by 2050.(美国联合航空公司的目标是在本十年末让电动飞机在区域航线上飞行，这是该公司到2050年将碳足迹完全减少到净零的目标的一部分)”及下文内容可知，文章主要讲述了美国联合航空公司计划让电动飞机飞行。由此可知，United Airlines Aims to Have Electric Planes Flying适合作本文标题。故选D。 D The South Pole has been warming at more than three times the global average over the past 30 years, according to research led by Ohio University professor Ryan Fogt, and Kyle Clem, who is a current postdoctoral research fellow in climate science. According to the study, this warming period was mainly driven by natural tropical (热带的) climate variability and was likely strengthened by increases in greenhouse gases. Clem and his team analyzed weather station data at the South Pole, as well as climate models to examine the warming in the Antarctic interior (内陆). They found that between 1989 and 2018, the South Pole had warmed by about 1. 8℃ over the past 30 years at a rate of +0. 6℃ per decade—three times the global average. The study also found that the strong warming over the Antarctic interior in the last 30 years was mainly driven by the tropics, especially warm ocean temperatures in the western tropical Pacific Ocean that changed the winds in the South Atlantic near Antarctica and increased the delivery of warm air to the South Pole. They suggest these atmospheric changes along Antarctica's coast are an important mechanism driving climate anomalies (异常事物) in its interior. Clem and Fogt argue that these warming trends were unlikely the result of natural climate change alone, stressing the effects of added warming related to human activities on top of the large tropical climate signal on Antarctic climate have worked together to make this one of the strongest warming trends worldwide. “From the very beginning, Kyle and I worked very well together and were able to accomplish more as a team than we were individually,” Fogt said. “We have published every year together since 2013, with one of our continuing collaborations being the annual State of the Climate reports. Our work on this project together each year ultimately led to this publication documenting the warming at the South Pole. However, most importantly for my family and me, apart from being a fantastic scientist and collaborator, Kyle is also considered as one of our closest friends.” 12. What is the major cause of the South Pole's warming according to the research? A. The weather station. B. Lack of winds. C. Increases of greenhouse gases. D. Natural tropical climate change. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The tropical climate signals in the Antarctic interior. B. The effect of human activities on the warming trends. C. The detailed explanation for the South Pole's warming. D. The unpleasant consequences of natural climate change. 14. Which of the following does Fogt most probably agree on? A. Cooperation is valued in scientific research. B. Getting science paper published is difficult. C. Friendship is more important than science. D. Family support plays a key role in science. 15. From which is the text most probably taken? A. A chemistry textbook. B. A science magazine. C. A travel brochure. D. A science novel. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南极地区气温异常增高及其原因。热带地区气候变化影响了大气环流以至向南极地区输送了更多温暖的气流，加之人类活动的影响，进而造成了南极地区气温异常增高。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“According to the study, this warming period was mainly driven by natural tropical climate variability and was likely strengthened by increases in greenhouse gases(这一变暖期主要是由自然的热带气候变化驱动的，并可能因温室气体的增加而加强)”可知，研究发现南极气温异常升高主要是因为热带地区气候变化。故选D。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The study also found that the strong warming over the Antarctic interior in the last 30 years was mainly driven by the tropics, especially warm ocean temperatures in the western tropical Pacific Ocean that changed the winds in the South Atlantic near Antarctica and increased the delivery of warm air to the South Pole. They suggest these atmospheric changes along Antarctica's coast are an important mechanism driving climate anomalies (异常事物) in its interior(研究还发现，南极内陆在过去的30年里强烈的变暖主要是由热带地区，特别是热带太平洋西部温暖的海洋温度驱动的。热带，尤其是西热带太平洋温暖的海洋温度改变了南极洲附近南大西洋的风，增加了向南极的暖空气输送。 他们认为，这些沿南极洲海岸的大气变化是导致其内部气候异常的重要机制)”可知，太平洋西部热带地区海洋温度升高改变了靠近南极洲的南大西洋风向，进而向南极输送了更多的温暖的气流，由此造成了南极变暖。由此可知，本段主要是对南极变暖的详细说明。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“From the very beginning, Kyle and I worked very well together and were able to accomplish more as a team than we were individually...We have published every year together since 2013, with one of our continuing collaborations being the annual State of the Climate reports. Our work on this project together each year ultimately led to this publication documenting the warming at the South Pole(从一开始，凯尔和我就合作得很好，作为一个团队我们完成了更多工作，超过了我们单独工作所能完成的。自2013年以来，我们每年都一起布报告，其中一个持续合作项目是年度气候状况报告。 我们每年在这个项目上的共同工作最终导致了这份记录南极变暖的出版物地诞生)”可知，Fogt和好友的研究成果的取得离不开他们的合作。由此可知，Fogt非常看重科学研究中的合作。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要介绍了南极地区气温异常增高及其成因，这属于科学研究的范畴。因此，本文最有可能出自“科学杂志”。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2 . 5分，满分12 . 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Muzak The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen.

He was well known as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity. Usually, the majority of his students were middle-aged housewives, who wanted to fine-tune their make-up skills so as to make themselves more attractive. But this time, it was beyond him that his class was attended by a man as well. The new student was a gentleman in his best years with a seemingly boundless interest in make-up artistry. He was keen to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible. He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn�t stop until he was satisfied with the result of his work. Understandably, the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women were alone. Speculations (猜测) quickly started to spread. Why did he learn make-up? Was he to seek for a woman to be his life partner? How about my neighbor’s youngest daughter? Why on earth would he attend such a woman class? Who could it be? Doubts like this came crowding in. The community college was placed in a remote rural area, which was why the other participants were quite doubtful of the man�s intentions. Throughout the lessons, ignoring the curious women around him, the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned, leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled. When the day and class were slowly coming to an end, the gossiping women simply could not hide their curiosity any longer, for they knew it was time to remove their doubts, otherwise � Finally, one of them couldn�t resist her curiosity, so she picked up the courage and asked him why he was so interested in make-up artistry. What followed was a dead silence. After what seemed a century, he slowly opened his mouth and here came the most inspiring beautiful reply. Paragraph 1: He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes (糖尿病) and she was no longer able to apply her make-up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: So he decided to take the course to surprise his wife. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes and she was no longer able to apply her make-up. Fearing being laughed at, she locked herself in her room, abandoning herself to great grief. She was absolutely beautiful even without make-up. But what upset her was that she simply felt not comfortable leaving the home without make-up. Sensing her loneliness in a colorless-world, I was also at a loss as to what to do. Once informed of this class, I determined to learn make-up without hesitation, hoping to make a difference. So he decided to take the course to surprise her. Without a pause, he shared his story. He mastered a wide range of practical skills, allowing him to help her take on a new look. Surely, being enveloped by an atmosphere of love, his beloved wife at present was deeply affected. “I not only want to learn how to apply her make-up, I want her to wear the most beautiful make-up so her inner beauty also shines on the outside.” he announced, “It is her smile that touches most my heart, not the make-up.” 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。要求考生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。 【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，正常化妆课的授课对象都是女性，但一天一位男士来上化妆课，而且听课十分认真，这引起在座其他同学（主要是家庭主妇们）的好奇和各种猜疑。在课程结束时，终于有人问出了他们的疑惑——他为什么来上化妆课？ 续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：他的爱妻因为糖尿病，视力受损，不能在自己涂化妆品，所以应该写他妻子的一些情况，不能化妆对他妻子的一些影响，以及他对于爱妻痛苦的回应。第二段开头是：所以他决定来上这个课，给妻子一个惊喜。本段应该写他利用所学内容如何帮助了妻子，以及妻子的一些转变。最后不忘初心，总结一下自己上化妆课的原因和目的。 最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。 【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：abandon oneself to，at a loss，without hesitation等高级词汇；主语从句和表语从句what upset her was that she simply felt not comfortable leaving the home without make-up.非谓语动词Fearing being laughed at,和allowing him to help her take on a new look强调句It is her smile that touches most my heart, not the make-up. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年第二学期期中三校联考高二英语科试题 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Northumberland coast may, not be Britain’s best-known seaside destination, but it has an attractive and interesting nature.

The natives, called the Tsimane,were reported to have the healthiest hearts in the world. I wanted to learn what they could teach me about preventing heart disease. Getting to the Tsimane wasn’t easy. They lived in small family groups of about 60 people along river banks. We finally found one of the villages at sunset. That night, we set up our tents in the middle of the village. Thatched huts (茅草屋) surrounded us, with no electricity or modern conveniences. I initially thought they mainly got their calories from meat. However, I found food such as rice and corn made up nearly 70% of their diet. The food was not processed, lacking added sugars or salts. During my stay there, I went hunting and fishing with the men and played soccer with the kids. I found the Tsimane were standing or walking nearly all of their waking hours. Men spent lots of time tracking animals. Farming and gathering, mostly done by children and women,were all-day affairs. I also got a clear idea of how they rested. As soon as the sun went down, people returned to their huts and went to sleep. And with the call of the cock in the morning, another day began. The lifespan (平均寿命) of the Tsimane is actually much shorter than those living in the US. Various factors,like animal attacks and infections, bring down the lifespan. But up until the day they die, they are often very healthy. While heart disease kills thousands of Americans every year and costs nearly a billion dollars a day, the Tsimane remind us that wealth doesn't necessarily buy health. 4. Why does the author pay so much attention to preventing heart disease? A. He wants to teach others about the topic. B. His family members encourage him to do so. C. He was born with a high risk of heart disease. D. He dreams of becoming a doctor. 5. Which factors did the author mainly focus on in his research? A. Diet, activity and rest. B. Housing, food and cooperation. C. Physical work, social life and lifespan. D. Group size, family history and consumption. 6. What was the Tsimane’s sleep-wake cycle mainly based on? A. Natural light. B. Natural sound. C. Routine activity. D. Animal behaviour. 7. What might the author advise us to do after his travels in Bolivia? A. Stand less and walk more. B. Take in less sugar and salt. C. Eat white meat instead of red meat. D. Live in the middle of the community. C United Airlines is aiming to have electric aircraft flying regional routes by the end of the decade, part of the company’s goal to fully reduce its carbon footprint to net zero by 2050. Those battery-powered aircraft are being developed by Swedish start-up Heart Aerospace from which United Airlines placed an order for 100 planes in July 2021. United Airlines has pushed heavily into a variety of lower-emission forms of aviation, not only announcing plans to buy electric air taxis and vertical aircraft, as well as hydrogen-electric engines but also investing in the companies behind the advanced technologies. “We cannot continue doing and operating our business the way we do; it is important that we change it, and the way we’ re going to change it is through investing in technology,” Mike Leskinen, United Airlines Ventures president, said in an interview as part of CNBC’s ESG Impact virtual conference on Thursday. “Existing technology is going to either cause us to fly less, which is an unacceptable alternative, or continue with a carbon footprint, which we believe is equally unacceptable,” Leskinen said. Heart Aerospace, which recently redesigned what will be its first electric aircraft which is now called the ES-30, plans to have the planes enter service in 2028, said Anders Forslund, the company’s CEO and founder. The 30-passenger planes will be driven by electric motors with battery-derived energy, allowing the planes to have a fully electric range of 200 kilometers. The planes will also include a reserve- hybrid engine powered by sustainable aviation fuel, allowing it to have an extended range of up to 400 kilometers with a full flight. United Airlines could potentially offer those shorter routes not only with greater frequency but at a lower cost. Leskinen said. “As we adopt electric aircraft, I think the cost for a 30-seat aircraft or a 50-seat aircraft, as the industry evolves, is going to be lower than a traditional aircraft,” he said. For small cities, this means they are “going to get either service that they didn’t have before or greater frequency of service,” he added. 8. What message did Mike Leskinen try to deliver in paragraph 3? A. Economic benefits should come first. B. Environmental protection should come first. C. Economy and environment should be equally valued. D. Economy and environment can’t be balanced. 9. What do we learn about the electric planes mentioned in the text? A. They will offer short-distance flights. B. They will fly faster than traditional ones. C. They were developed by United Airlines. D. They each can hold 30 passengers at most. 10. What did Leskinen try to stress about the electric planes in the last paragraph? A. Their security performance. B. Their potential benefits. C. Their operating modes. D. Their possible problems. 11. Which would be the most suitable title for the text? A. ES-30 Will Be Driven by Electric Motors B. The Airline Industry Faces New Opportunities C. Heart Aerospace Plans to Develop Electric Planes D. United Airlines Aims to Have Electric Planes Flying D The South Pole has been warming at more than three times the global average over the past 30 years, according to research led by Ohio University professor Ryan Fogt, and Kyle Clem, who is a current postdoctoral research fellow in climate science. According to the study, this warming period was mainly driven by natural tropical (热带的) climate variability and was likely strengthened by increases in greenhouse gases. Clem and his team analyzed weather station data at the South Pole, as well as climate models to examine the warming in the Antarctic interior (内陆). They found that between 1989 and 2018, the South Pole had warmed by about 1. 8℃ over the past 30 years at a rate of +0. 6℃ per decade—three times the global average. The study also found that the strong warming over the Antarctic interior in the last 30 years was mainly driven by the tropics, especially warm ocean temperatures in the western tropical Pacific Ocean that changed the winds in the South Atlantic near Antarctica and increased the delivery of warm air to the South Pole. They suggest these atmospheric changes along Antarctica's coast are an important mechanism driving climate anomalies (异常事物) in its interior. Clem and Fogt argue that these warming trends were unlikely the result of natural climate change alone, stressing the effects of added warming related to human activities on top of the large tropical climate signal on Antarctic climate have worked together to make this one of the strongest warming trends worldwide. “From the very beginning, Kyle and I worked very well together and were able to accomplish more as a team than we were individually,” Fogt said. “We have published every year together since 2013, with one of our continuing collaborations being the annual State of the Climate reports. Our work on this project together each year ultimately led to this publication documenting the warming at the South Pole. However, most importantly for my family and me, apart from being a fantastic scientist and collaborator, Kyle is also considered as one of our closest friends.” 12. What is the major cause of the South Pole's warming according to the research? A. The weather station. B. Lack of winds. C. Increases of greenhouse gases. D. Natural tropical climate change. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The tropical climate signals in the Antarctic interior. B. The effect of human activities on the warming trends. C. The detailed explanation for the South Pole's warming. D. The unpleasant consequences of natural climate change. 14. Which of the following does Fogt most probably agree on? A. Cooperation is valued in scientific research. B. Getting science paper published is difficult. C. Friendship is more important than science. D. Family support plays a key role in science. 15. From which is the text most probably taken? A. A chemistry textbook. B. A science magazine. C. A travel brochure. D.

He was well known as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity. Usually, the majority of his students were middle-aged housewives, who wanted to fine-tune their make-up skills so as to make themselves more attractive. But this time, it was beyond him that his class was attended by a man as well. The new student was a gentleman in his best years with a seemingly boundless interest in make-up artistry. He was keen to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible. He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn�t stop until he was satisfied with the result of his work. Understandably, the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women were alone. Speculations (猜测) quickly started to spread. Why did he learn make-up? Was he to seek for a woman to be his life partner? How about my neighbor’s youngest daughter? Why on earth would he attend such a woman class? Who could it be? Doubts like this came crowding in. The community college was placed in a remote rural area, which was why the other participants were quite doubtful of the man�s intentions. Throughout the lessons ignoring the curious women around him, the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned, leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled. When the day and class were slowly coming to an end, the gossiping women simply could not hide their curiosity any longer, for they knew it was time to remove their doubts, otherwise � Finally, one of them couldn�t resist her curiosity, so she picked up the courage and asked him why he was so interested in make-up artistry. What followed was a dead silence. After what seemed a century, he slowly opened his mouth and here came the most inspiring beautiful reply. Paragraph 1: He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes (糖尿病) and she was no longer able to apply her make-up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: So he decided to take the course to surprise his wife. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
