A
Here are the introductions and achievements of four scientists.
Jöns Jacob Berzelius
Jöns Jacob Berzelius was a Swedish chemist, often referred to as one of the founders of modern chemistry. He developed a system of chemical symbols, which laid the foundation for the establishment of the modern periodic table. Berzelius also made important discoveries in the field of electrochemistry.
Niels Henrik David Bohr
Niels Henrik David Bohr was a Danish physicist. He proposed the atomic (原子的) model known as the Bohr model, which explained the behavior of electrons moving in fixed energy levels or orbits around the atomic nucleus. His model helped explain the spectra of elements and laid the groundwork for further developments in atomic physics.
Robert Boyle
Robert Boyle, born in Ireland, was regarded as one of the founders of modern chemistry, known for Boyle's law. Boyle's law describes the relationship between the pressure and volume (体积) of a gas at constant temperature. Boyle's work laid the foundation for the modern understanding of gas behavior and promoted the development of scientific experimental methods.
William Lawrence Bragg
William Lawrence Bragg was a British physicist born in Australia who made significant contributions to Xray crystallography (晶体学). Together with his father William Henry Bragg, he developed the famous Bragg's law. This discovery revolutionized the field of crystallography and paved the way for determining the atomic and molecular structures of various substances, including DNA and proteins.

B
Sir Ronald Ross was born in Almora, India in 1857. During his early years, he developed interests in poetry, literature, music, and mathematics, all of which he continued to engage in (从事) for the rest of his life.
Although he had no tendency to study medicine, at the age of 17 he agreed to obey his father's wish to see him enter the Indian Medical Service. He began his medical studies at St. Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College, London in 1874. Later, he developed his scientific interests and took a course in bacteriology.
In 1892 he became interested in malaria and, having originally doubted the parasites' (寄生虫的) existence, became an enthusiastic supporter of the belief that malaria parasites were in the blood stream when this was demonstrated to him by Patrick Manson in 1894.
In 1895, Ross began to prove the hypothesis (假说) of Alphonse Laveran and Manson that mosquitoes (蚊子) were connected with the spread of malaria. However, his progress was hampered by the Indian Medical Service.
On 20 August 1897, Ross made his landmark discovery. While dissecting (解剖) the stomach tissue of a mosquito fed four days previously on a malarious patient, he found the malaria parasite and went on to prove the role of mosquitoes in the transmission of malaria parasites in humans.
He continued his research into malaria in India, using a more convenient experimental model, malaria in birds. By July 1898, he had demonstrated that mosquitoes could serve as intermediate (中间的) hosts for bird malaria. After feeding mosquitoes on infected (被感染的) birds, he found that the malaria parasites could develop in the mosquitoes, allowing the mosquitoes to infect other birds during following blood meals.
In 1902 Ross was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for his work on malaria, by which he has shown how it enters the organism and thereby has laid the foundation for successful research on this disease and methods of fighting it.” Ross wrote extensively on malaria including his book The Prevention of Malaria in 1911. While Ross is remembered for his malaria work, this remarkable man was also a mathematician, epidemiologist, sanitarian, editor, novelist, dramatist, poet, amateur musician, composer, and artist.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了诺贝尔奖获得者Ronald Ross,他如何证实疟疾是由蚊子传播以及他所取得的成就。
4.What made Ross take up medical studies?
A.His father's expectation.
B.His keen interest in bacteriology.
C.The rapid spread of malaria in India.
D.The invitation from a medical college.
A 细节理解题。由第二段中的“Although he had no tendency to study medicine,... He began his medical studies at St. Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College, London in 1874. (虽然他没有学医的倾向,但在17岁时,他同意听从父亲的意愿,进入印度医疗服务机构。1874年,他在伦敦圣巴塞洛缪医院医学院开始医学学习。)”可知,Ross并未打算学医,但他的父亲希望他能参加印度的医疗服务,Ross顺从了父亲的意愿;由此可知,父亲的期望使Ross开始学习医学。故选A。
5.What does the underlined word “hampered” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Assisted. B.Evaluated.
C.Blocked. D.Monitored.
C 词义猜测题。由划线词上一句“In 1895, Ross began to prove ... were connected with the spread of malaria.(1895年,Ross开始证明Alphonse Laveran和Manson的假设,即蚊子与疟疾的传播有关。)”可知,1895年Ross开始证明蚊子与疟疾的传播有关;结合划线词所在句“However, his progress was hampered by the Indian Medical Service”中的转折词“However”以及“his progress”可知,Ross证明蚊子传播疟疾这一假说的进展受到了印度医疗服务的阻碍;由此可知,划线词hampered意为“阻碍”,与C选项“Blocked(妨碍;阻碍)”意思一致。故选C。
6.How did Ross confirm Patrick Manson's hypothesis?
A.By closely observing malarious birds.
B.By dissecting dead malarious patients.
C.By finding malaria parasites in mosquitoes.
D.By studying the human blood stream in depth.
C 推理判断题。由第五段中的“While dissecting (解剖) the stomach tissue of a mosquito fed four days previously on a malarious patient, he found the malaria parasite and went on to prove the role of mosquitoes in the transmission of malaria parasites in humans.(1897年8月20日,罗斯有了里程碑式的发现。在解剖一只四天前叮咬疟疾病人的蚊子的胃组织时,他发现了疟疾寄生虫,并继续证明蚊子在人类传播疟疾寄生虫中的作用。)”以及第六段“He continued his research into malaria in India, ..., allowing the mosquitoes to infect other birds during following blood meals.(他在印度继续研究疟疾,使用了一种更方便的实验模型——鸟类疟疾。到1898年7月,他已经证明蚊子可以作为鸟类疟疾的中间宿主。在给蚊子喂食受感染的鸟类后,他发现疟疾寄生虫可以在蚊子体内生长,使蚊子在接下来的吸血过程中感染其他鸟类。)”可知,Ross发现这种蚊子在叮咬疟疾患者之后胃壁内出现了疟原虫的特征,给蚊子喂食受感染的鸟类后,疟疾寄生虫可以在蚊子体内生长,使蚊子在接下来的吸血过程中感染其他鸟类;由此可知,Ross在蚊子身上发现疟原虫,证实了 Patrick Manson的假设,证明蚊子与疟疾的传播有关。故选C。
7.What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?
A.Ross' career.
B.Ross' hobbies.
C.Ross' personal life.
D.Ross' achievements.
D 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In 1902 Ross was awarded ..., this remarkable man was also a mathematician,epidemiologist,sanitarian,editor,novelist,dramatist,poet,amateur musician,composer,and artist.(1902年,Ross被授予诺贝尔生理学或医学奖,‘因为他在疟疾方面的工作,他展示了疟疾是如何进入生物体的,从而为成功研究这种疾病和对抗它的方法奠定了基础。’Ross写了大量关于疟疾的文章,包括1911年的《预防疟疾》一书。虽然Ross因其对疟疾的研究而被人们铭记,但这位杰出的人还是一位数学家、流行病学家、卫生学家、编辑、小说家、剧作家、诗人、业余音乐家、作曲家和艺术家。)”可知,本段主要介绍了Ross所取得的成就,他被授予诺贝尔生理学或医学奖,写了大量关于疟疾的书,在许多领域都取得杰出成就;由此可知,最后一段主要探讨了Ross所取得的成就。故选D。

In 1987,a mountain on Mercury (水星) got a name—Li Qingzhao,the name of a Chinese female poet.According to the International Astronomical Union,all new mountains on Mercury must be named after a litterateur (文人) or an artist who was famous for more than fifty years,and dead for more than three years,before the date they are named.Of the total of 310 names,fifteen are named after famous Chinese writers and artists,and Li Qingzhao is one of them,together with Li Bai,Bai Juyi,Cao Xueqin and Lu Xun.
What did Li Qingzhao do to deserve such an honour?Li is a poet of the Song Dynasty.Compared with other male poets in China,who have left hundreds or even thousands of poems,Li has only eightyseven,like a drop in a bucket of water However,her talents and artistic creativity as shown in her eightyseven works have earned her a lasting place in the Chinese literary circle.
Li was born into a scholarofficial family in 1084.Like other young women in a rich family,she was wellread and trained in Chinese calligraphy (书法) and musical instrument.Most young women of rich families were taught to follow the “Three Obediences and Four Virtues” at that time,while Li was free in both character building and artistic development.
When it was time for her to start another stage in lifemarriage,Li married Zhao Mingcheng,a student at the supreme academy of the imperial court.The couple devoted their spare time to their common interests-literature and the collection of calligraphy and painting.
Unluckily,their happiness didn't last long.The power struggle at the very top of the government destroyed everything.Li first followed her husband to Qing Zhou,and spent the next ten years there.It turned out that the ten years in Qing Zhou was the most productive period for her artistic creativity.Then in 1127,when the North Song Dynasty ended,Li followed her husband to Lin'an.Soon her husband died.And the worst part was that not only did she lose her loved husband but she also lost most of her accumulated (积累的) works.
Later,Li remarried a government official,who turned out to be a total liar and treated her badly.She died in 1155 in loneliness and pain.

In the year 1992 when Reeder retired,he went all in.He has repaired books for a number of organizations including the Montana Historical Society and the Billings Public Library.
Skyview's students are not only thankful for Reeder's help,but inspired by his work.
“They have made him thankyou signs and cards.I have one girl who left me a note the other day.She wants to learn to do what Paul does.What he does is a lost art.He has done great things for our kids and for our books,” said Black.
The wornout books are brought to Reeder on Friday,and in most cases,he's able to return the books as good as new by the following Monday,according to Black.

Questions to Ask Before Getting
Your Child a Cell Phone
At what age should you get your child a cell phone? 16 However,before you decide to add your child to your family plan,ask yourself these questions.
17
If you and your child are not often apart beyond school hours,a cell phone may not be a serious necessity,but if he is independent or involved in extracurricular(课外的) activities outside your home,a cell phone could be useful,especially during emergencies as a convenient means of communication with you.
Does your child understand the cost?
Make sure your child understands the cost of having a cell phone. 18 Some options to help control costs include prepaid and postpaid phones,setting a monthly budget for your child.
How can you keep your child's phone usage safe and under control?
Before you get your child a phone,you should discuss what it can be used for,rules he is expected to follow,and consequences if he fails to follow them. 19
20 If you prefer to take an extra step towards monitoring his phone use,these application programs allow you to track your child's mobile activity.
A.Who needs a cell phone?
B.How can you determine whether or not to buy a cell phone for your child?
C.You ask your child to make use of his cell phone for learning.
D.Also be sure that he can be trusted to stay within his limits from month to month.
E.Also,educate yourself on what social media apps are popular with teens.
F.According to Pew Research Center,the average age is between 12 and 13.
G.For example,is the phone only to be used to call family,or can it be used socially?
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。要不要给孩子买手机?什么时候给孩子买手机合适?为什么需要手机?如何规划手机产生的费用?文章就这些问题给出了适当的解释。
16.F 根据文章的大意和本段首句中的“At what age”可知,回答的问题涉及孩子的年龄,故选项F符合语境。
17.B 根据下一段中的两个if条件句,“如果你孩子不常离开你们……”和“如果你孩子很独立或常参加课外活动……”来确定该不该买手机,由此可推断出该段的标题为“How can you determine whether or not to buy a cell phone for your child.”。
18.D 根据上一句提出的“the cost of having a cell phone”和后一句分析的几种选择的方式可知,此空该填入D项合适。此外,“Also be sure”与“Make sure”相呼应。
19.G 根据前一句中的“discuss what it can be used for,rules...and consequences if he fails to follow them”可推断出,“For example,is the phone only to be used to call family,or can it be used socially”符合语境。G项举例说明了孩子该如何使用手机。
20.E 根据空格后一句中的“these application programs allow you to track your child's mobile activity”即可推断出E项符合语境。E项中的“social media apps”与下文中的“these application programs”相照应。
第二部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
“The important thing is not to stop questioning.Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” —Albert Einstein
It's no secret that curiosity makes learning more effective and 21 .Curious students not only ask questions,but also 22 seek out the answers.Without 23 ,Sir Isaac Newton would have never put forward the laws of physics,Alexander Fleming probably wouldn't have 24 penicillin (青霉素),and Marie Curie's pioneering research on radioactivity may not exist.
Curiosity is just as 25 as intelligence in determining how well students do in school.Curiosity 26 the brain for learning.As we all know,we're more likely to 27 what we've learned when the subject matter interests us.Actually,curiosity also helps us learn information we don't consider 28 or important.So if a teacher is able to 29 students' curiosity,they'll be better prepared to learn things that they would normally consider boring or difficult.For instance,if a student struggles with 30 ,personalizing math problem to match their specific interest could help them 31 remember how to go about solving similar math problems in the future.
However,scientists think that there are still a few things that remain 32 about curiosity's role in learning.For one thing,scientists have yet to determine its longterm effects.For instance,if a student's curiosity is aroused at the 33 of a school day,will it help them better absorb information all day long?Another thing the 34 are keen to investigate is why some people are more 35 curious than others,and which factors most influence how curious we are.

44.to argue 考查非谓语动词。句意:但政府发布了一份报告,想对此进行反驳。want后接动词作宾语,应用不定式形式,故填to argue。
45.angrily 考查副词。句意:政府声称,非政府组织在资金被削减后,愤怒地放火焚烧森林。分析句子成分可知,此处作状语修饰动词短语set fire,应用副词形式,故填angrily。

[参考范文]
The person I admire most
Teenagers are crazy about idols and are attracted by the beautiful faces, the dance and singing skills. But for me, the person I admire most is Yuan Longping, the “father of hybrid rice”.
As one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan devoted himself to studying agriculture. His hybrid strains have helped feed not just China, but many other countries that depend on rice as well. He received numerous awards, but he cared little for celebrity or money. Instead, he made large contributions to support agricultural research.

On a cold windy day,a poor boy tried to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door.Wandering on the street,he was not a successful seller.What's worse,he found that he only had one dime(一角硬币) left.His empty stomach reminded him constantly that for days he hadn't eaten anything.He had no choice but to beg for a meal at the next house.Hesitantly he knocked at a door,thinking about what to say when it opened.However,he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.“What can I do for you?” asked the young woman.The boy paused for a while “Would you please give me some...a drink of water?” the boy dare not to look directly into her eyes.She looked at the bony boy and thought he might need something to give him energy so she brought him a glass of milk.His head rising and small hands taking the cup,he drank it up slowly,and then asked,“How much do I owe you?”“You don't owe me anything,” she replied with a warm smile on her face.“My mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” Deeply moved,he said sincerely,“Then I shall thank you from the bottom of my heart.”As Howard Kelly left that house,he not only felt stronger physically,but it also increased his faith in God and the whole human race.As a matter of fact,he was about to give up and quit before that point.Years later the young woman became critically ill.However,the local doctors were unable to give the effective medical treatment. Finally they sent her to a hospital in the big city,where specialists can be called in to cure her rare disease.Among those famous specialists,Dr.Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation.When he heard the name of the town she came from,a strange light filled his eyes.Immediately,he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.
Dressed in his doctor's gown,he went in to see her.
The bill was sent to her room.

The bill was sent to her room.Hesitantly she took it.She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off.Finally she opened it,on the side of which a note caught her attention.She read these words,“Paid in full with a glass of milk.” signed Dr.Howard Kelly.Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently,“Thank You,God.”
