We ask questions, listen to their stories, and try to understand their perspectives. This can help us build stronger connections with people. However, curiosity needs to be balanced.

C Curiosity in Science Curiosity plays a crucial role in the field of science.

She spent years studying the phenomenon and made groundbreaking discoveries. Her work on radioactive elements not only won her two Nobel Prizes but also opened up new areas of research in nuclear physics. Another example is Isaac Newton. His curiosity about why apples fall from trees led him to develop the theory of gravity. This simple question changed the way we understand the physical world. Curiosity in science also leads to technological advancements. Scientists’ curiosity about making things better, faster, or more efficient has resulted in the invention of many useful devices, from the light bulb to the computer. However, scientific curiosity requires patience and perseverance. It may take years or even decades to find answers to complex questions.

But many people often think older people are physically weak, helpless or unable to do anything meaningful. How do you feel about getting old? I once chatted with my grandma, Solveig King, to find out her opinions. Born in 1927, my grandma grew up in America during the Great Depression (大萧条) of the 1930s and World War Ⅱ. There were no outdoor lights and no running water. “But it was a very happy childhood: snow every winter and always sunshine in summer, enough food, but no luxuries (奢侈品),” she said. This explains where she got her habit of keeping old boxes and never wasting any food. In 2015, I went to live with my grandma for a few months. We would sit together and read books, go to the swimming pool, watch some travel programs on TV, do some gardening and then do it all again the next day. It was quite fun! Now 96 years old and in a wheelchair, Solveig can’t go swimming anymore, but she still keeps up with her other hobbies. “I don’t feel ‘old’, just a little disabled! But I never wish I could do something I know I can’t do.” And she keeps a curious and adventurous (冒险的) mind. “Soon, I’ll need to live at a nursing home for two weeks while my family is away. I’m excited because I’ll get to learn all about old people!” she said. How active she is! I seem to know that getting old is not close to the end of life but a process of finding the beauty of life. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 66．Who is Solveig King? 67．Where did Solveig grow up? 68．Was Solveig’s childhood happy or unhappy? 69．Why is Solveig excited about living at a nursing home? 70．How does the writer feel about getting old? 第二节 书面表达（共1题，满分15分） 71．好奇心 (curiosity) 在我们的学习和生活中起着重要的作用。请以“Curiosity”为题，写一篇英语短文，谈谈好奇心的重要性，并举例说明好奇心是如何帮助你或他人取得进步或获得成功的。 要求： 1. 包含所给要点，可适当发挥； 2. 语句通顺，意思连贯，语法正确，书写规范； 3. 词数：80词左右。 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案及试题解析 1．A 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．B 6．A 7．A 8．A 9．A 10．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨好奇心的重要性及其对学习和生活的积极影响。 1．句意：它是推动人们探索未知、提出问题并寻求答案的力量。 power力量，侧重抽象能力；energy能量；strength力气，身体的力量；force侧重强制力。根据“It is the power that drives people to explore the unknown...”可知，它是驱动人们探索未知的力量，此处强调“驱动力”的抽象概念。故选A。 2．句意：当我们有好奇心时，就会渴望了解更多自己感兴趣的事物。 little少的；less更少；more更多；much许多。根据“When we are curious, we are eager to learn...about...”可知，当我们好奇时，会渴望了解更多。故选C。 3．句意：这种好奇心会引导我们看书、做实验或与他人讨论。 do做；make制作；take拿走；carry携带。根据“...experiments”可知，此处为“做实验”。故选A。 4．句意：它使学习变得有趣和令人兴奋。 bored厌倦的；boring令人厌倦的；interested感兴趣的；interesting有趣的。根据“It makes learning...and exciting”可知，它让学习变得有趣且激动人心，interesting与exciting并列，均为积极的形容词，且learning为物，用interesting来修饰。故选D。 5．句意：他的好奇心让他对周围的一切都充满了兴趣。 interest兴趣，名词；interested感兴趣的，形容词；interesting有趣的，形容词；interests兴趣，复数名词。根据“His curious mind made him...in everything”可知，好奇心使他对一切感兴趣，make sb adj意为“使某人怎样”，形容词作宾补，此处用来进一步补充说明him的状态，修饰人用interested。故选B。 6．句意：这些问题促使他发明了许多重要的东西，比如灯泡。 led促使，导致；made制作；let让；had让。根据“These questions...him to invent...”可知，这些问题引领他发明了许多重要的东西，lead sb to do意为“促使某人做某事”，故选A。 7．句意：这也意味着要有勇气去冒险和尝试新事物。 means意味着；shows展示；tells告诉；says说。根据“It also...having the courage to take risks and try new things.”可知，这也意味着要有勇气去冒险和尝试新事物。mean doing“意味着做某事”，故选A。 8．句意：有时，我们寻求的答案可能并不容易找到，我们可能会面临许多困难。 face面临；avoid避免；create创造；solve解决。根据“we may...many difficulties”可知，我们可能面临许多困难。故选A。 9．句意：在日常生活中，我们应该培养自己的好奇心。 develop培养；grow成长；increase增长；rise上升。根据“we should...our curiosity”可知，我们应培养好奇心。故选A。 10．句意：我们可以从多问问题、开放心态和接受新体验开始。 taking up占用；taking off起飞，脱下；taking on接受；taking in吸收。根据“...taking on new experiences”可知，接受新体验。故选C。 11．A 12．B 13．B 14．C 15．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章旨在阐述好奇心的强大力量：它是推动人类探索与发现的重要动力，能促进个人成长、改善人际关系；同时强调好奇心需适度，应在积极且不侵犯他人的前提下发挥作用。 11．细节理解题。根据第一段“It is the desire to know more, to explore, and to understand the world around us.”可知，好奇心是渴望了解更多、探索和理解周围世界的欲望。故选A。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段“Galileo Galilei was curious about the stars and the planets... made many important discoveries about the solar system.”可知，伽利略・伽利莱对恒星和行星充满好奇，在太阳系方面有许多重要发现。故选B。 13．细节理解题。根据第三段“When we are curious, we are more likely to learn new skills and gain new knowledge... broaden our horizons and make us more well-rounded individuals.”可知，好奇心会促使人们主动学习新事物、尝试新体验 (如培养爱好、阅读、社交等)，而这些经历最终能拓宽视野，帮助个体变得更全面。故选B。 14．细节理解题。根据第四段“In addition, curiosity can improve our relationships.”可知，好奇心能改善我们的人际关系。故选C。 15．推理判断题。根据最后一段“We should not be overly curious about things that are none of our business... use our curiosity in a positive way, not to cause harm or trouble.”可知，当我们产生好奇心时，我们应该注意把握尺度：一方面，不应过度探寻与己无关的事 (如他人隐私)；另一方面，要以积极的方式发挥好奇心，避免带来不良后果，核心是 “以积极方式使用好奇心且不干涉他人私事”。故选B。 16．C 17．C 18．C 19．B 20．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一个好奇的男孩汤姆在探索家附近的树林时发现了一些奇怪的植物，并通过父亲的讲解学到了保护自然的重要性。 16．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“He loved to explore the woods near his home.
