Here are four who pushed boundaries and changed the world. Wu Chienshiung (1912—1997) Bon in Taicang, Jiangsu province, Wu took part in the Manhattan Project which helped create the world’s first nuclear weapon. Her famous Wu experiment overturned the theory of parity (宇称理论) in physics. This breakthrough led to a Nobel Prize that was awarded to her male colleagues, but Wu’s critical role in the work was overlooked. Hedy Lamarr (1914—2000) Austria-born Lamarr starred in a lot of Hollywood films and made great success. She was also super smart and a self-taught inventor. During the second world war, Lamarr together with George Antheil, a composer, developed a radio guidance system. The principle of their work is part of the basis of Bluetooth and wireless technology. Katherine Johns (1918—2020) African American NASA mathematician Johnson’s calculations were critical in getting the first US astronauts to space and back safely. During her 33-year career at NASA, Katherine earned a reputation for mastering complex calculations and was referred to as a “human computer”. Tu Youyou (1930—) Born in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, Tu shared the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with two other foreign scientists, for her work in discovering artemisinin, a drug used to treat malaria (疟疾). Her work has saved millions of lives all over the world. Tu is the first Chinese Nobel winner in physiology or medicine and the first female citizen of the PRC to win a Nobel Prize. 1. Besides being an inventor, Hedy Lamarr is also a(n)________. A. composer B. producer C. actress D. mathematician 2. What is Tu Youyou’s greatest contribution to the world? A.

She was also super smart and a self-taught inventor. (奥地利出生的拉玛出演了许多好莱坞电影，并取得了巨大的成功。她还非常聪明，是一个自学成才的发明家)”可知，除了是一个发明家，海蒂·拉玛也是一位女演员。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tu Youyou (1930—)部分中的“Her work has saved millions of lives all over the world. (她的工作拯救了全世界数百万人的生命)”可知，屠呦呦对世界最大的贡献是她的发现帮助拯救了数百万人。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Here are four who pushed boundaries and changed the world. (下面是四位打破界限、改变世界的人)”可知，这四位女科学家共同之处是她们都对世界产生了影响。故选D。 B Carol-Anne O’Callaghan, a former teacher from Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, has fought hard to protect ancient oaks near her home, which she says are home to rare bats. In February 2021, O’Callaghan was walking her dogs when she spotted yellow dots stuck on some of the 99 oak trees in a narrow country lane close to her home. The dots indicated trees marked for destruction. After she learned the trees would be felled as part of the HS2 high-speed railway works, she called the HS2 helpline and was told there was nothing that could be done as an over-road would be built. She gets choked up remembering the moment she realized many of them were to be cut down. O’Callaghan loves that ancient line of oaks. They were planted in the 19th century. “My family and I would picnic under them,” she says, “climb them, have rope swings on them. The trees are amazing and beautiful and meant so much.” One of the last photos of her mother, taken shortly before she died, was of her sitting in a swing in their branches. She noticed that on the other side of the lane, to the north, there were no ancient oaks. So she began campaigning to save the trees. With the help of her daughter, Blaize, she started a petition(请愿书), which went on to get nearly 43,000 signatures. “I saw someone passionate about giving a voice to those who don’t have one, someone not afraid of asking questions and calling out large, daunting businesses for doing the wrong thing,” says her neighbour Victoria. Buckinghamshire Council has got involved, and the felling is paused. A final decision has yet to be made about the proposed over-road. “We’re optimistic that they’ll hear our argument and take the ecology of the lane into account,” says O’Callaghan. “We want them to put in a green crossing in the gaps between trees, for the bats, and we’d like the place to become a conservation area. For the trees and the bats—this is what we are fighting for!” 4. What did the yellow dots on the oaks indicate? A. These oaks would be cut down. B. The narrow lane would be widened. C. Rare bats would get protected. D. A railway station would be built. 5. Why does O’Callaghan have deep feelings of the oaks? A. Due to the oaks’ long history. B. Due to the natural beauty. C. Due to the precious memories. D. Due to the diverse wildlife. 6. What kind of person is O’Callaghan? A. Creative. B. Humorous. C. Generous. D. Enthusiastic. 7. What is a direct result of O’Callaghan’s efforts? A. The ecology is being improved. B. The felling has been put off. C The Council canceled the proposal. D. The area becomes a reserve. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了白金汉郡的Carol-Anne O’Callaghan为保护家附近的古橡树和橡树上的稀有蝙蝠而努力奔走，最终白金汉郡议会涉入此事，砍伐行动被暂停了。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The dots indicated trees marked for destruction.(这些圆点表示被标记为要毁坏的树木。)”可知，橡树上的黄色圆点表示这些橡树将被砍伐。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“‘My family and I would picnic under them,’ she says, ‘climb them, have rope swings on them. The trees are amazing and beautiful and meant so much.’ One of the last photos of her mother, taken shortly before she died, was of her sitting in a swing in their branches.(‘我和家人会在树下野餐，’她说，‘爬上树，在树上荡绳子绑的秋千。这些树令人惊叹、美丽，意义重大。’她母亲去世前不久最后拍摄的照片中有一张就是她坐在树枝上的秋千上。)”可知，O’Callaghan一家人在树下野餐、在树上攀爬、荡秋千，而且她有一张照片就是她母亲去世前坐在秋千上拍摄的。由此可推测出，O’Callaghan有许多与橡树的珍贵回忆，所以她对这些橡树有深刻的感情。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中邻居Victoria的话“I saw someone passionate about giving a voice to those who don’t have one, someone not afraid of asking questions and calling out large, daunting businesses for doing the wrong thing(我看到有人热衷于为那些无法发声的东西发声，不怕问问题，也不怕指责那些做错事的大型、令人生畏的企业)”可知，邻居认为O’Callaghan敢于发声、敢于质疑和指责有错误的大企业，由此可推测出，她是一个充满热情的人。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Buckinghamshire Council has got involved, and the felling is paused.(白金汉郡议会已经介入，砍伐行动暂停。)”可知，O’Callaghan努力的直接结果就是让砍伐行动得以暂停。故选B。 C More than 3/4 of the Southeast Asia population is agriculture-based. Twice as much fish is consumed in this area compared to other forms of animal protein, reflecting the long coastlines and river environments of Southeast Asia. The staple food(主粮) throughout the area is rice, which has been planted for thousands of years. Rice serves as the basic staple food for more than half of the world’s population today. In Asia, there are different styles of eating food. In India and the Middle East, as well as Southeast Asia, people eat food with their hands. It is a very direct way to experience the texture(口感) of the food, and people normally wash their hands before and after each meal. Normally, only the right hand is used, so that one knows to keep it especially clean. Generally, the foods to be eaten are placed on plates in the center of the mat or table, and people take food in small portions(一份) as they eat. The exception to this pattern is Vietnam, where the influence of China was much stronger than anywhere else in Southeast Asia. Here, each person has chopsticks, and food is served and divided among people onto individual plates or into individual bowls. A similar pattern is found in other Asian countries where Chinese influence was especially strong,e. g. Japan, Korea and so on. The influence of Western cultures is found not only in the use of tables and chairs in many modern Southeast Asian households, but also in the use of spoons and forks. Knives are not necessary, since meat and vegetables are cut into smaller portions before cooking or serving. A large spoon is held in the right hand, while the left hand is used to shovel food into the spoon. 8. What can be known from the first two paragraphs? A. Most of the Asians live in the cities. B. Most people eat food with their hands throughout Asia. C. Rice serves as the non-staple food in most areas in Southeast. D. Southeast Asians eat more fish than other forms of animal protein. 9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The food. B. The meal. C. The right hand. D. The texture of the food. 10. In what aspect is Vietnam an exception? A. People there eat with their hands. B. People take food from plates with chopsticks. C. Food is served and shared into a large plate or bowl. D. Japanese influence is seen more than Chinese influence. 11. What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph? A. Food culture in Western countries. B. The adoption of metal eating tools. C. The introduction of seating furniture. D. Changes caused by Western cultures. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是东南亚国家的饮食文化。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Twice as much fish is consumed in this area compared to other forms of animal protein, reflecting the long coastlines and river environments of Southeast Asia.(与其他形式的动物蛋白相比，该地区的鱼类消费量是其两倍，这反映了东南亚漫长的海岸线和河流环境。)”可知，相对于其他形式的动物蛋白，东南亚人吃更多的鱼。故选D。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“In India and the Middle East, as well as Southeast Asia, people eat food with their hands. It is a very direct way to experience the texture(口感) of the food, and people normally wash their hands before and after each meal.  Normally, only the right hand is used(在印度、中东以及东南亚，人们用手吃饭，这是一种非常直接的方式来体验食物的质地，人们通常在饭前饭后都洗手。通常情况下，只使用右手)”可知，通常情况下，在印度、中东以及东南亚，人们用手吃饭，因此人们在饭前饭后都洗手，通常情况下，只使用右手，故保持右手是干净整洁的。故划线词指代前文的“右手”。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Here, each person has chopsticks, and food is served and divided among people onto individual plates or into individual bowls. (在这里，每个人都有筷子，食物被端上来，并在人们之间分成单独的盘子或单独的碗。)”可知，越南与其他东南亚国家不同的是用餐使用筷子而不是手。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The influence of Western cultures is found not only in the use of tables and chairs in many modern Southeast Asian households, but also in the use of spoons and forks. (西方文化的影响不仅体现在许多现代东南亚家庭对桌椅的使用上，也体现在对勺子和叉子的使用上。)”可知，最后一段介绍的是希望文化对东南亚饮食文化带来的影响，不仅体现在许多现代东南亚家庭对桌椅的使用上，也体现在对勺子和叉子的使用上。D选项“Changes caused by Western cultures.(西方文化造成的变化。)”概括本段主要内容。故选D。 D A large amount of great scientific discoveries is not actually discovered but borrowed. That was the case when scientists discovered proteins from an unlikely lender: green algae (绿藻), whose cells are modified with proteins that can sense light. The light-sensing protein promised the power to control neurons (神经元) by providing away to turn them on and off. Such ability, first noticed in 2002, quickly caught the attention of brain scientists: Nerve cells which were genetically engineered to produce such proteins become light-controlled. A flash of light could cause a quiet neuron to send signals or force an active neuron to fall silent. “This is the light sensor that we needed,” says Zhuo-Hua Pan, a scientist searching for a way to control vision cells in mice’s eyes. The method is now called optogenetics (光遗传学). In Pan’s lab, light-responsive proteins restored vision in mice with damaged eyesight, a finding that has now led to a medical test on people. Optogenetics’ promise wasn’t clear in early days, as scientists were first learning how to use these proteins in neurons. “At that time, no one expected that this optogenetic work would have such a huge impact,” Pan says. The algae’s light sensors have been adopted for use in countless brain research fields. Talia, another scientist, uses optogenetics to study connections between cells in the mouse brain. The method allows her to comb the relationships between cells that produce and respond to dopamine (多巴胺), which might help uncover details about motivation and learning. So far, optogenetics research has taken place mostly in mice. But findings into more complex brains like human brain may soon be confirmed. “We are definitely on the tip of uncovering some fascinating principles of the human brain, such as how the brain transforms signals from the eyes into perceptions,” says Yasmine of Columbia University. No matter what happens next in this swiftly moving field, one thing is certain: Brain scientists will be forever in the algae’s debt. 12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The origin of neurons. B. The varieties of neurons. C. The discovery of green algae. D. The inspiration from green algae. 13. What can we learn from Pan’s research? A. The findings are used to cure brain diseases. B. Impaired eyesight is likely to be restored. C. Relationships between cells have been found. D. The light-sensing protein is the key to the brain. 14. What’s Yasmine’s attitude towards the future of her research? A. Confident. B. Cautious. C. Critical. D. Unclear. 15. Which section is this text most probably taken from? A. Health. B. Botany. C. Figure. D. Invention. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了科学家们如何从绿藻中发现能感知光的蛋白质，并利用这些蛋白质进行神经元的控制。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The light-sensing protein promised the power to control neurons by providing away to turn them on and off. Such ability, first noticed in 2002, quickly caught the attention of brain scientists: Nerve cells which were genetically engineered to produce such proteins become light-controlled. A flash of light could cause a quiet neuron to send signals or force an active neuron to fall silent. “This is the light sensor that we needed,” says Zhuo-Hua Pan, a scientist searching for a way to control vision cells in mice’s eyes. The method is now called optogenetics . (这种光感应蛋白通过提供开关来控制神经元，从而保证了控制神经元的能力。这种能力在2002年首次被注意到，并迅速引起了脑科学家的注意：通过基因工程产生这种蛋白质的神经细胞变得光控。一道闪光可以使一个安静的神经元发出信号，或者迫使一个活跃的神经元停止活动。“这就是我们需要的光传感器，”科学家潘卓华说，他正在寻找一种控制老鼠眼睛视觉细胞的方法。这种方法现在被称为光遗传学。)”可知，第二段主要讲来自绿藻的启发。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“In Pan’s lab, light-responsive proteins restored vision in mice with damaged eyesight, a finding that has now led to a medical test on people. (在潘的实验室里，光反应蛋白使视力受损的老鼠恢复了视力，这一发现现已用于人体医学试验。)”可知，根据Pan的研究，受损的视力有可能得到恢复。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中““We are definitely on the tip of uncovering some fascinating principles of the human brain, such as how the brain transforms signals from the eyes into perceptions,” says Yasmine of Columbia University. (哥伦比亚大学的Yasmine说:“我们无疑即将揭开人类大脑的一些迷人原理，比如大脑是如何将来自眼睛的信号转化为感知的。”)”可知，Yasmine对她研究的未来充满信心。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据文章最后一段话“No matter what happens next in this swiftly moving field, one thing is certain: Brain scientists will be forever in the algae’s debt. (无论这个快速发展的领域接下来会发生什么，有一件事是肯定的：大脑科学家将永远欠藻类的债。)”可知，文章主要讲述了科学家们如何从绿藻中发现能感知光的蛋白质，并利用这些蛋白质进行神经元的控制，文章与生命健康有关。由此推知，短文来自健康专栏。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10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。 Minor Cold: A sugary feast to get through the freezing winter Minor Cold, or “Xiaohan” in Chinese, is the 23rd of the 24 solar terms in the Chinese lunar calendar ____16____ We’ve outlined below how people deal with the Minor Cold and its significance in Chinese culture.

Here are four who pushed boundaries and changed the world. Wu Chienshiung (1912—1997) Bon in Taicang, Jiangsu province, Wu took part in the Manhattan Project which helped create the world’s first nuclear weapon. Her famous Wu experiment overturned the theory of parity (宇称理论) in physics. This breakthrough led to a Nobel Prize that was awarded to her male colleagues, but Wu’s critical role in the work was overlooked. Hedy Lamarr (1914—2000) Austria-born Lamarr starred in a lot of Hollywood films and made great success. She was also super smart and a self-taught inventor. During the second world war, Lamarr together with George Antheil, a composer, developed a radio guidance system. The principle of their work is part of the basis of Bluetooth and wireless technology. Katherine Johns (1918—2020) African American NASA mathematician Johnson’s calculations were critical in getting the first US astronauts to space and back safely. During her 33-year career at NASA, Katherine earned a reputation for mastering complex calculations and was referred to as a “human computer”. Tu Youyou (1930—) Born in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, Tu shared the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with two other foreign scientists, for her work in discovering artemisinin, a drug used to treat malaria (疟疾). Her work has saved millions of lives all over the world. Tu is the first Chinese Nobel winner in physiology or medicine and the first female citizen of the PRC to win a Nobel Prize. 1. Besides being an inventor, Hedy Lamarr is also a(n)________. A. composer B. producer C. actress D. mathematician 2. What is Tu Youyou’s greatest contribution to the world? A.

They all made a difference to the world. B Carol-Anne O’Callaghan, a former teacher from Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, has fought hard to protect ancient oaks near her home, which she says are home to rare bats. In February 2021, O’Callaghan was walking her dogs when she spotted yellow dots stuck on some of the 99 oak trees in a narrow country lane close to her home. The dots indicated trees marked for destruction. After she learned the trees would be felled as part of the HS2 high-speed railway works, she called the HS2 helpline and was told there was nothing that could be done as an over-road would be built. She gets choked up remembering the moment she realized many of them were to be cut down. O’Callaghan loves that ancient line of oaks. They were planted in the 19th century. “My family and I would picnic under them,” she says, “climb them, have rope swings on them. The trees are amazing and beautiful and meant so much.” One of the last photos of her mother, taken shortly before she died, was of her sitting in a swing in their branches. She noticed that on the other side of the lane, to the north, there were no ancient oaks. So she began campaigning to save the trees. With the help of her daughter, Blaize, she started a petition(请愿书), which went on to get nearly 43,000 signatures. “I saw someone passionate about giving a voice to those who don’t have one, someone not afraid of asking questions and calling out large, daunting businesses for doing the wrong thing,” says her neighbour Victoria. Buckinghamshire Council has got involved, and the felling is paused. A final decision has yet to be made about the proposed over-road. “We’re optimistic that they’ll hear our argument and take the ecology of the lane into account,” says O’Callaghan. “We want them to put in a green crossing in the gaps between trees, for the bats, and we’d like the place to become a conservation area. For the trees and the bats—this is what we are fighting for!” 4. What did the yellow dots on the oaks indicate? A. These oaks would be cut down. B. The narrow lane would be widened. C Rare bats would get protected. D. A railway station would be built. 5. Why does O’Callaghan have deep feelings of the oaks? A. Due to the oaks’ long history. B. Due to the natural beauty. C. Due to the precious memories. D. Due to the diverse wildlife. 6. What kind of person is O’Callaghan? A. Creative. B. Humorous. C. Generous. D. Enthusiastic. 7 What is a direct result of O’Callaghan’s efforts? A. The ecology is being improved. B. The felling has been put off. C. The Council canceled the proposal. D. The area becomes a reserve. C More than 3/4 of the Southeast Asia population is agriculture-based. Twice as much fish is consumed in this area compared to other forms of animal protein, reflecting the long coastlines and river environments of Southeast Asia. The staple food(主粮) throughout the area is rice, which has been planted for thousands of years. Rice serves as the basic staple food for more than half of the world’s population today. In Asia, there are different styles of eating food. In India and the Middle East, as well as Southeast Asia, people eat food with their hands. It is a very direct way to experience the texture(口感) of the food, and people normally wash their hands before and after each meal. Normally, only the right hand is used, so that one knows to keep it especially clean. Generally, the foods to be eaten are placed on plates in the center of the mat or table, and people take food in small portions(一份) as they eat. The exception to this pattern is Vietnam, where the influence of China was much stronger than anywhere else in Southeast Asia. Here, each person has chopsticks, and food is served and divided among people onto individual plates or into individual bowls. A similar pattern is found in other Asian countries where Chinese influence was especially strong,e. g. Japan, Korea and so on. The influence of Western cultures is found not only in the use of tables and chairs in many modern Southeast Asian households, but also in the use of spoons and forks. Knives are not necessary, since meat and vegetables are cut into smaller portions before cooking or serving. A large spoon is held in the right hand, while the left hand is used to shovel food into the spoon. 8. What can be known from the first two paragraphs? A. Most of the Asians live in the cities. B. Most people eat food with their hands throughout Asia. C. Rice serves as the non-staple food in most areas in Southeast. D. Southeast Asians eat more fish than other forms of animal protein. 9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The food. B. The meal. C. The right hand. D. The texture of the food. 10. In what aspect is Vietnam an exception? A. People there eat with their hands. B. People take food from plates with chopsticks. C. Food is served and shared into a large plate or bowl. D. Japanese influence is seen more than Chinese influence. 11. What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph? A. Food culture in Western countries. B. The adoption of metal eating tools. C. The introduction of seating furniture. D. Changes caused by Western cultures. D A large amount of great scientific discoveries is not actually discovered but borrowed. That was the case when scientists discovered proteins from an unlikely lender: green algae (绿藻), whose cells are modified with proteins that can sense light. The light-sensing protein promised the power to control neurons (神经元) by providing away to turn them on and off. Such ability, first noticed in 2002, quickly caught the attention of brain scientists: Nerve cells which were genetically engineered to produce such proteins become light-controlled. A flash of light could cause a quiet neuron to send signals or force an active neuron to fall silent. “This is the light sensor that we needed,” says Zhuo-Hua Pan, a scientist searching for a way to control vision cells in mice’s eyes. The method is now called optogenetics (光遗传学). In Pan’s lab, light-responsive proteins restored vision in mice with damaged eyesight, a finding that has now led to a medical test on people. Optogenetics’ promise wasn’t clear in early days, as scientists were first learning how to use these proteins in neurons. “At that time, no one expected that this optogenetic work would have such a huge impact,” Pan says. The algae’s light sensors have been adopted for use in countless brain research fields. Talia, another scientist, uses optogenetics to study connections between cells in the mouse brain. The method allows her to comb the relationships between cells that produce and respond to dopamine (多巴胺), which might help uncover details about motivation and learning. So far, optogenetics research has taken place mostly in mice. But findings into more complex brains like human brain may soon be confirmed. “We are definitely on the tip of uncovering some fascinating principles of the human brain, such as how the brain transforms signals from the eyes into perceptions,” says Yasmine of Columbia University. No matter what happens next in this swiftly moving field, one thing is certain: Brain scientists will be forever in the algae’s debt. 12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The origin of neurons. B. The varieties of neurons. C. The discovery of green algae. D. The inspiration from green algae. 13. What can we learn from Pan’s research? A. The findings are used to cure brain diseases. B. Impaired eyesight is likely to be restored. C. Relationships between cells have been found. D. The light-sensing protein is the key to the brain. 14 What’s Yasmine’s attitude towards the future of her research? A. Confident. B. Cautious. C. Critical. D. Unclear. 15. Which section is this text most probably taken from? A. Health. B. Botany. C. Figure. D. Invention. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10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。 Minor Cold: A sugary feast to get through the freezing winter Minor Cold, or “Xiaohan” in Chinese, is the 23rd of the 24 solar terms in the Chinese lunar calendar ____16____ We’ve outlined below how people deal with the Minor Cold and its significance in Chinese culture.
