Until four years ago, Liu was a full-time computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi. He only wrote science fiction in his free time. But it was during this time that his imagination really took off. He did things he might never get to do in real life — like traveling in space, fighting aliens, and visiting faraway planets. Even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, who is 55 years old, probably didn’t expect that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award in 2015. That’s the top prize in science fiction. He might also have never imagined that former US President Barack Obama would read his book The Three-Body Problem, or that he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society on November 9 in Washington DC. This was the first time a Chinese writer had ever won this award. In his speech when he accepted the award, Liu said that his imagination came from Arthur C. Clarke, a famous UK sci-fi writer. He said that reading Clarke’s book 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s changed his life. “My mind opened up in a way it never had before. I felt like a small river finally seeing the ocean,” Liu said. “That night, the night sky looked completely different to me. For the first time, I was amazed by how mysterious the universe is.” But even though Liu’s imagination takes him to faraway places, his books always make sense. In The Three-Body Problem, for example, he tells a story about aliens coming to Earth. But instead of just focusing on the aliens, he talks about how different civilizations interact, the rules of survival, and what life means. In another book, The Wandering Earth, he thinks about what will happen when our solar system ends and humans need to find a new home. But all his ideas are based on real science. Liu’s books aren’t just dreams — they’re grounded in facts. 4. What do we know about Liu Cixin? A. He became a full-time writer when he was young. B. He is the first Asian to win the Arthur Clarke Award. C. He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award. D. He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood. 5. Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ________. A. his feeling after reading Clarke’s work B. his love of reading science fiction C. his interest in mysteries of the universe D. his confusion when he started writing 6. Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth? A. To prove that Liu Cixinˈs works relate science to reality. B. To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas. C. To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination. D. To compare the different writing styles in the two books. 7. What’s the text mainly about? A. Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction. B. Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style. C. How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer. D. How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述中国科幻作家刘慈欣的成就、创作灵感来源及其作品结合科学与想象的风格。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Liu, who is 55 years old, probably didn’t expect that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award in 2015. That’s the top prize in science fiction.(55岁的刘慈欣可能没想到，自己会在2015年成为首位获得雨果奖的亚洲人。这是科幻领域的最高奖项)”可知，刘慈欣是首位获得雨果奖的亚洲人。由此推知，他是第一位获得该项的中国人。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“He said that reading Clarke’s book 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s changed his life.(他说，20世纪80年代初阅读克拉克的《2001 太空漫游》改变了他的人生)”以及第四段中的““My mind opened up in a way it never had before. I felt like a small river finally seeing the ocean,” Liu said. “That night, the night sky looked completely different to me. For the first time, I was amazed by how mysterious the universe is.”(“我的思维以一种前所未有的方式打开了，感觉就像一条小河终于见到了大海。” 刘说，“那天晚上，夜空在我眼中完全变了样。我第一次惊叹于宇宙是如此神秘。”)”可知，引用刘慈欣的话是为了展示他阅读克拉克作品后的感受。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“In The Three-Body Problem, for example, he tells a story about aliens coming to Earth. But instead of just focusing on the aliens, he talks about how different civilizations interact, the rules of survival, and what life means. In another book, The Wandering Earth, he thinks about what will happen when our solar system ends and humans need to find a new home. But all his ideas are based on real science. Liu’s books aren’t just dreams — they’re grounded in facts. (例如，在《三体》中，他讲述了一个外星人来到地球的故事。但他并没有仅仅聚焦于外星人，而是探讨了不同文明如何互动、生存的法则以及生命的意义。在另一部作品《流浪地球》中，他思考了当太阳系终结、人类需要寻找新家园时将会发生什么。但他所有的想法都基于真实的科学。刘的作品并非只是空想 —— 它们是建立在事实基础之上的)”可知，作者提及这两部作品是为了证明刘慈欣的作品将科学与现实相结合。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段中的“Even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, who is 55 years old, probably didn’t expect that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award in 2015. He might also have never imagined that former US President Barack Obama would read his book The Three-Body Problem, or that he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society on November 9 in Washington DC. This was the first time a Chinese writer had ever won this award. (即使拥有如此强大的想象力，55岁的刘（慈欣）或许也未曾想到，自己会在2015年成为首位斩获雨果奖的亚洲人。他或许也从未想过，美国前总统巴拉克・奥巴马会阅读他的《三体》，亦或是自己会于11月9日在华盛顿特区斩获 2018 年亚瑟・C・克拉克奖“社会服务想象力奖”。这是中国作家首次获得该奖项)”等信息介绍刘慈欣的成就，并通过其作品内容及第三段中的“In his speech when he accepted the award, Liu said that his imagination came from Arthur C. Clarke, a famous UK sci-fi writer.(在获奖致辞中，刘表示他的想象力源自英国著名科幻作家阿瑟・C・克拉克)”和第五段中的“In The Three-Body Problem, for example, he tells a story about aliens coming to Earth. But instead of just focusing on the aliens, he talks about how different civilizations interact, the rules of survival, and what life means. In another book, The Wandering Earth, he thinks about what will happen when our solar system ends and humans need to find a new home. But all his ideas are based on real science. Liu’s books aren’t just dreams — they’re grounded in facts. (例如，在《三体》中，他讲述了一个外星人来到地球的故事。但他并没有仅仅聚焦于外星人，而是探讨了不同文明如何互动、生存的法则以及生命的意义。在另一部作品《流浪地球》中，他思考了当太阳系终结、人类需要寻找新家园时将会发生什么。但他所有的想法都基于真实的科学。刘的作品并非只是空想 —— 它们是建立在事实基础之上的)”等描述分析其写作风格可知，本文主旨为刘慈欣的成就与写作风格。故选B项。 C Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research shows that scientists who work hard are more inspiring than those who seem naturally smart. In a few studies, researchers found that young people are more motivated by scientists whose success comes from hard work than those who seem naturally brilliant, even if that scientist is Albert Einstein. Danfei Hu, a student at Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann, a professor at William Paterson University, said their findings could help explain what it takes to succeed in science. Their research was recently published in a science journal. Many students want to study science in school but some give up on science careers after college. To help with this problem, Hu and Ann looked at role models, who can show students what goals to aim for and how to achieve them. The researchers did two studies, one with 176 people and the other with 162 people. In the first study, everyone read the same story about a scientist’s struggles. Half were told it was about Einstein, and the other half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Even though the stories were the same, people thought Einstein’s success was because he was a genius. But those who thought the story was about Edison were more motivated to solve math problems. Hu said, “People usually see Einstein as a genius, and they think his success is because he was super talented.” But Edison is known for trying over 1,000 times to make the light bulb, and his success is linked to hard work. Hu added, “If students know that hard work can lead to great things, they’ll be more confident in pursuing science careers.” 8. What kind of scientist is more inspiring? A. Those who made important discoveries. B. Those who were born with a gift. C. Those who are viewed as great inventors. D. Those who are famous for their hard work. 9. What is the concern in the science community? A. The students will drop out of school soon. B. There are fewer role models for students to follow. C. Fewer students will continue to work on science. D. Some scientists cannot give students specific goals. 10. Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems? A. They knew the problems were given by Edison. B. They believed they could solve the problems by working hard. C. They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein. D. They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Einstein Is Less Encouraging than Edison B. Einstein’s Success Story C. How to Be a Great Scientist D. Edison’s Achievements Are Greater 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍新研究发现：努力型科学家比天赋型更能激励年轻人投身科学。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In a few studies, researchers found that young people are more motivated by scientists whose success comes from hard work than those who seem naturally brilliant, even if that scientist is Albert Einstein. (在几项研究中，研究人员发现，年轻人更容易被那些成功源于努力的科学家所激励，而非那些看似天赋异禀的科学家 —— 即便那位科学家是阿尔伯特・爱因斯坦。)”可知，以努力工作闻名的科学家更具激励性。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Many students want to study science in school, but some give up on science careers after college. To help with this problem, Hu and Ann looked at role models (许多学生在学校想学习科学，但有些人在大学后放弃了科学职业。为了解决这个问题，胡和安研究了榜样的作用)”可知，科学界关注的问题是更少学生继续从事科学工作。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Half were told it was about Einstein, and the other half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Even though the stories were the same, people thought Einstein’s success was because he was a genius. But those who thought the story was about Edison were more motivated to solve math problems. (一半人被告知故事主角是爱因斯坦，另一半人则被告知是托马斯・爱迪生。尽管故事内容完全相同，但人们认为爱因斯坦的成功源于他是天才。而那些认为故事主角是爱迪生的人，更有动力去解决数学问题。)”及第六段中的“Edison is known for trying over 1,000 times to make the light bulb, and his success is linked to hard work. (爱迪生因尝试1000多次制造灯泡而闻名，他的成功与努力工作息息相关。)”可知，参与者因相信爱迪生的成功源于努力，从而认为自己通过努力也能解决数学问题，因此更有动力。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research shows that scientists who work hard are more inspiring than those who seem naturally smart. (榜样对于激励科学家至关重要，但最新研究表明，努力工作的科学家比那些看似天赋异禀的科学家更具激励作用。)”以及下文介绍的两项研究的对比可知，在激励年轻人方面，代表“努力”的爱迪生比代表“天赋”的爱因斯坦更有效，核心结论为“努力型科学家比天赋型更具鼓舞性”，由此可知，标题“爱因斯坦不如爱迪生鼓舞人心”以对比形式概括了概括了文章主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。 D When we’re little, we learn that tigers and sharks are scary animals. They’re big and strong, so we might be afraid of them. But as we grow up, we find out that sometimes the smallest animals can be the most dangerous. In fact, the animal that hurts the most people is one we all know: the mosquito. Not all mosquitoes bite people. Male mosquitoes eat nectar from plants. But female mosquitoes need animal blood. When a female mosquito bites a person, it puts its saliva into the person’s blood. This saliva might have a deadly disease in it. Sometimes the bite just makes you itch, but other times it can be very serious and even cause death. Mosquitoes bite a lot of people in their lives. They can easily spread diseases from one person to another. Every year, over 700 million people get sick from these diseases, and at least 2 million people die from them. Some people use mosquito nets over their beds to keep mosquitoes away. Mosquitoes also have natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and some fish. If we bring more of these animals to places where mosquitoes live, it might help reduce the number of mosquitoes. But this doesn’t always work well. We can also use sprays or poisons to kill mosquitoes, but these can hurt other plants or animals too. Even though mosquitoes don’t look as scary as big animals, they’re actually more dangerous to people. But things are changing. Scientists are working hard, and one day they might find a way to protect everyone from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. 12. Why does the passage mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks? A. To compare different animals. B. To lead into the topic about mosquitoes. C To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are. D. To show people’s misunderstanding of dangerous animals. 13. What can we learn about mosquitoes? A. Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans. B. The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases. C. Male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits. D. More than 700 million people die from the diseases carried by the mosquitoes. 14. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes. B. Some useful measures are taken to kill mosquitoes. C. There is no perfect solution to the mosquito problem. D. Mosquitoes’ natural enemies could protect human beings. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of solving the mosquito problem? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Negative. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文通过对比老虎、鲨鱼等大型危险动物，引出蚊子这一最具危险性的小动物。文中介绍了蚊子的习性（雄性食花蜜、雌性吸血）、传播疾病的方式及危害（每年超 7 亿人感染、至少 200 万人死亡），并探讨了现有防蚊措施的局限性（如使用蚊帐、引入天敌、喷洒药物等效果有限或存在副作用），最后提到科学家正在努力寻找解决方案，对未来持积极态度。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When we’re little, we learn that tigers and sharks are scary animals. They’re big and strong, so we might be afraid of them. But as we grow up, we find out that sometimes the smallest animals can be the most dangerous. In fact, the animal that hurts the most people is one we all know: the mosquito.( 当我们小的时候，我们知道老虎和鲨鱼是可怕的动物。它们又大又壮，所以我们可能会害怕它们。但随着我们长大，我们发现有时最小的动物可能是最危险的。事实上，伤害人类最多的动物是我们都知道的：蚊子。)”可知，开篇提及老虎、鲨鱼是为了通过“大型动物看似危险”与“蚊子微小却更致命”的反差，自然引出核心话题蚊子。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When a female mosquito bites a person, it puts its saliva into the person’s blood. This saliva might have a deadly disease in it. Sometimes the bite just makes you itch, but other times it can be very serious and even cause death.( 当雌蚊子叮咬一个人时，它会将唾液放入人的血液中。唾液里可能有致命的疾病。有时被咬只会让你发痒，但有时会非常严重，甚至会导致死亡。)”可知，雌性蚊子可能会把疾病传染给人类。故选A项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Some people use mosquito nets over their beds to keep mosquitoes away. Mosquitoes also have natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and some fish. If we bring more of these animals to places where mosquitoes live, it might help reduce the number of mosquitoes. But this doesn’t always work well. We can also use sprays or poisons to kill mosquitoes, but these can hurt other plants or animals too.( 有些人在床上使用蚊帐来驱赶蚊子。蚊子也有天敌，比如蝙蝠、鸟、蜻蜓和一些鱼。如果我们把更多的这些动物带到蚊子生活的地方，可能有助于减少蚊子的数量。但这并不总是奏效。我们也可以使用喷雾剂或毒药来杀死蚊子，但这些也会伤害其他植物或动物。)”可知，第四段主要讲的是对于蚊子的问题没有完美的解决办法。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Scientists are working hard, and one day they might find a way to protect everyone from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.( 科学家们正在努力工作，有一天他们可能会找到一种方法来保护每个人免受蚊子和它们携带的疾病的侵害。)”可推知，作者对未来解决蚊子问题的态度是积极的。故选B项。 二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12. 5分。 In a highly-connected world where your phone is always with you, information is being collected and shared every second.“So what?” you say. “I have nothing to hide.” ____16____ According to some experts, people may not understand the scope (范围) of the problem.

When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing in the street. On that balcony I played sometimes with my elder sister, Maria. She was seven years old and when my mom was absent, she was like a mother to me. The balcony was a great hobby place for my father. After his work he used to grow carnations (康乃馨) in flower boxes. His carnations were red, pink and white, and everyone appreciated them for their beauty. He took care of them with so much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking care of her baby. Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with patience. He was always doing something on that balcony. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony floor, changing the potting soil and when the stems were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation attentively like a doctor. My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height. Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in again of barley (插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His job was then to water the plants and to take care of them. “No one should touch them,” he said to Mom. Every day, when he came home from work he went straight to the balcony. Mom used to tell us, “Do not touch Daddy’s flowers.” For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the small stems were growing and making flowers. When the carnations had grown big enough, my dad enjoyed watching them every day. We the kids did too. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： One day, my elder sister, who loved Dad very much, had a great idea. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： When my dad arrived, he went as usual, straight to the balcony and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A possible version: Paragraph 1： One day, my elder sister, who loved Dad very much, had a great idea. She proposed us to pick the best out of the carnations so that dad could appreciate it forever than have to plant it hard. We went to the balcony, hoping to select out the best and most lovely one. While doing so, however, Maria accidentally fell, bruising her knees. What was worse, many flowers were also knocked down, leaving the balcony in a mess and the majority of the flowers out of shape. Despite this, we managed to pick the very flowers we wanted and waited nervously and uneasily for the father’s arrival and his response. Paragraph 2： When my dad arrived, he went as usual, straight to the balcony and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals. In no time, he got annoyed and stormed into our room, questioning us in glare who it was that made such a mess of his flowers. Instead of crying, brave Maria held out the flowers and explained what we meant to do and how it ended up this way. She was afraid that dad might punish her, but at the same time she hoped that dad would smile at our warm actions. Deeply touched, dad held the flowers tightly and gently, and immediately gathered us into his arms, saying, “You are my best flowers!” 【解析】 【分析】这篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者家有一个阳台，这个阳台是他和他姐姐的玩耍的小天地，但更是爸爸的养植他心爱花的地方。爸爸每天下班回家就会去阳台那里照料他的花朵。 【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：一天，爱着爸爸的姐姐有了一个好的主意……，所以应该写姐姐的这个主意是什么，应该怎么做来实现这个想法。要详细描述姐姐有这样想法的原因，姐姐和我怎么做，做了什么来实现这个姐姐的这个想法。第二段开头是：爸爸回家后，像往常一样直奔阳台，看到了他的花像死去的动物一样躺在那里……，这里应该写爸爸看到阳台的一片狼藉后做了些什么。爸爸看到阳台的花被弄的一片狼藉，感到十分愤怒，找到我和姐姐质问我们为什么会变成这样，勇敢的姐姐解释了这样做的初衷，但因为意外导致现在这样的状况并向爸爸道歉，当他们忐忑地等待着爸爸的责骂时，爸爸却是感动地把他们揽在怀里深情地说道：“你们就是我最好的花朵。” 续写时要求根据所给文章和段落开头，写一篇完整的短文，且所续写短文的词数应为150左右。按要求完成写作任务。 【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：propose sb to do，what was worse，in a mess，storm into等 高级词汇；目的状语从句so that dad could appreciate it forever than have to plant it hard， what we meant to do and how it ended up this way.两个并列宾语从句，questioning us in glare who it was that made such a mess of his flowers. 非谓语引导的伴随状语。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度下学期 广东省两校高考临门一脚考试 英语试卷 参加学校：诺德安达学校、金石实验中学 注意事项: 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，请2B用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 一、阅读理解：本大题共15小题，共37. 5分。 A Madrid is a popular place to visit. It’s a city with lots of different things: old buildings and new tall buildings. History Madrid has more than 3 million people. It has a really big palace, the biggest in Western Europe. Many people think it’s the most beautiful building in Madrid. The palace has 2,800 rooms, and they’re all fancy with nice furniture and art. Tourists can visit 50 of these big, pretty rooms. Shopping Madrid has some of the best shopping malls in Europe. People like to look for good deals in the stores. There’s also a huge outdoor flea market called the Rastro. It’s been around for 500 years. You can find all kinds of things there, like old stuff and CDs. Entertainment When you go to Madrid, you should see a flamenco show. Flamenco is a famous Spanish art. Performers sing, dance, and play guitars in small cafes and big theaters every day. Food Madrid has lots of different restaurants, but Spanish people usually eat dinner late, around 9 or 10 p.m.. So, it’s hard to find good dinner food earlier. If you get hungry before that, you can go to a tapas bar. They serve small snacks. Make sure you try jamon, which is a special kind of ham. Spain is famous for it. 1. What do we know about the royal palace in Madrid? A. It can hold 2,800 people. B. It offers 50 rooms for visit. C. It’s been visited by 3 million people. D. It is thought to be the largest palace in Europe. 2. What is the Rastro famous for? A. Good dinner food. B. Various goods. C. Its art performances. D. Its special location. 3.

B Maybe no one understands the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu was a full-time computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi. He only wrote science fiction in his free time. But it was during this time that his imagination really took off. He did things he might never get to do in real life — like traveling in space, fighting aliens, and visiting faraway planets. Even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, who is 55 years old, probably didn’t expect that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award in 2015. That’s the top prize in science fiction. He might also have never imagined that former US President Barack Obama would read his book The Three-Body Problem, or that he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society on November 9 in Washington DC. This was the first time a Chinese writer had ever won this award. In his speech when he accepted the award, Liu said that his imagination came from Arthur C. Clarke, a famous UK sci-fi writer. He said that reading Clarke’s book 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s changed his life. “My mind opened up in a way it never had before. I felt like a small river finally seeing the ocean,” Liu said. “That night, the night sky looked completely different to me. For the first time, I was amazed by how mysterious the universe is.” But even though Liu’s imagination takes him to faraway places, his books always make sense. In The Three-Body Problem, for example, he tells a story about aliens coming to Earth. But instead of just focusing on the aliens, he talks about how different civilizations interact, the rules of survival, and what life means. In another book, The Wandering Earth, he thinks about what will happen when our solar system ends and humans need to find a new home. But all his ideas are based on real science. Liu’s books aren’t just dreams — they’re grounded in facts. 4. What do we know about Liu Cixin? A. He became a full-time writer when he was young. B. He is the first Asian to win the Arthur Clarke Award. C. He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award. D. He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood. 5. Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ________. A. his feeling after reading Clarke’s work B his love of reading science fiction C. his interest in mysteries of the universe D. his confusion when he started writing 6. Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth? A. To prove that Liu Cixinˈs works relate science to reality. B. To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas. C. To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination. D. To compare the different writing styles in the two books. 7. What’s the text mainly about? A. Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction. B. Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style. C. How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer. D. How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style. C Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research shows that scientists who work hard are more inspiring than those who seem naturally smart. In a few studies, researchers found that young people are more motivated by scientists whose success comes from hard work than those who seem naturally brilliant, even if that scientist is Albert Einstein. Danfei Hu, a student at Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann, a professor at William Paterson University, said their findings could help explain what it takes to succeed in science. Their research was recently published in a science journal. Many students want to study science in school, but some give up on science careers after college. To help with this problem, Hu and Ann looked at role models, who can show students what goals to aim for and how to achieve them. The researchers did two studies, one with 176 people and the other with 162 people. In the first study, everyone read the same story about a scientist’s struggles. Half were told it was about Einstein, and the other half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Even though the stories were the same, people thought Einstein’s success was because he was a genius. But those who thought the story was about Edison were more motivated to solve math problems. Hu said “People usually see Einstein as a genius, and they think his success is because he was super talented.” But Edison is known for trying over 1,000 times to make the light bulb, and his success is linked to hard work. Hu added, “If students know that hard work can lead to great things, they’ll be more confident in pursuing science careers.” 8. What kind of scientist is more inspiring? A Those who made important discoveries. B. Those who were born with a gift. C. Those who are viewed as great inventors. D. Those who are famous for their hard work. 9. What is the concern in the science community? A. The students will drop out of school soon. B. There are fewer role models for students to follow. C. Fewer students will continue to work on science. D. Some scientists cannot give students specific goals. 10. Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems? A. They knew the problems were given by Edison. B. They believed they could solve the problems by working hard. C They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein. D. They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Einstein Is Less Encouraging than Edison B. Einstein’s Success Story C. How to Be a Great Scientist D. Edison’s Achievements Are Greater D When we’re little, we learn that tigers and sharks are scary animals. They’re big and strong, so we might be afraid of them. But as we grow up, we find out that sometimes the smallest animals can be the most dangerous. In fact, the animal that hurts the most people is one we all know: the mosquito. Not all mosquitoes bite people. Male mosquitoes eat nectar from plants. But female mosquitoes need animal blood. When a female mosquito bites a person, it puts its saliva into the person’s blood. This saliva might have a deadly disease in it. Sometimes the bite just makes you itch, but other times it can be very serious and even cause death. Mosquitoes bite a lot of people in their lives. They can easily spread diseases from one person to another. Every year, over 700 million people get sick from these diseases, and at least 2 million people die from them. Some people use mosquito nets over their beds to keep mosquitoes away. Mosquitoes also have natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and some fish. If we bring more of these animals to places where mosquitoes live, it might help reduce the number of mosquitoes. But this doesn’t always work well. We can also use sprays or poisons to kill mosquitoes, but these can hurt other plants or animals too. Even though mosquitoes don’t look as scary as big animals, they’re actually more dangerous to people. But things are changing. Scientists are working hard, and one day they might find a way to protect everyone from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. 12. Why does the passage mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks? A. To compare different animals. B To lead into the topic about mosquitoes. C. To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are. D. To show people’s misunderstanding of dangerous animals. 13. What can we learn about mosquitoes? A. Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans. B. The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases. C. Male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits. D. More than 700 million people die from the diseases carried by the mosquitoes. 14. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes. B. Some useful measures are taken to kill mosquitoes. C. There is no perfect solution to the mosquito problem. D. Mosquitoes’ natural enemies could protect human beings. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of solving the mosquito problem? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Negative. 二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12. 5分。 In a highly-connected world where your phone is always with you, information is being collected and shared every second.“So what?” you say. “I have nothing to hide.” ____16____ According to some experts, people may not understand the scope (范围) of the problem.

When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing in the street. On that balcony I played sometimes with my elder sister, Maria. She was seven years old and when my mom was absent, she was like a mother to me. The balcony was a great hobby place for my father. After his work he used to grow carnations (康乃馨) in flower boxes. His carnations were red, pink and white, and everyone appreciated them for their beauty. He took care of them with so much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking care of her baby. Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with patience. He was always doing something on that balcony. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony floor, changing the potting soil and when the stems were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation attentively like a doctor. My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height. Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in again of barley (插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His job was then to water the plants and to take care of them. “No one should touch them,” he said to Mom. Every day, when he came home from work he went straight to the balcony. Mom used to tell us, “Do not touch Daddy’s flowers.” For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the small stems were growing and making flowers. When the carnations had grown big enough, my dad enjoyed watching them every day. We the kids did too. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： One day, my elder sister, who loved Dad very much, had a great idea. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： When my dad arrived, he went as usual, straight to the balcony and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
