PRACTITIONERS (从业者)
Jacqueline Felice de Almania (c. 1322) highlights the suspicion (质疑) that women practicing medicine faced. Born to a Jewish family in Florence, she moved to Paris where she worked as a physician (医生) and performed surgery. In 1322 she was tried for practicing unlawfully. In spite of the court hearing testimonials (证明) of her ability as a doctor, she was banned from medicine.
Tan Yunxian (1461-1554) was a Chinese physician who learned her skills from her grandparents. Chinese women at the time could not serve apprenticeships (学徒期) with doctors. However, Tan passed the official exam. Tan treated women from all walks of life. In 1511, Tan wrote a book, Sayings of a Female Doctor, describing her life as a physician.
James Barry (c. 1789-1865) was born Margaret Bulkley in Ireland but, dressed as a man, she was accepted by Edinburgh University to study medicine. She qualified as a surgeon in 1813, then joined the British Army, serving overseas. Barry retired in 1859, having practiced her entire medical profession living and working as a man.
Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831-1895) worked as a nurse for eight years before studying in medical college in Boston in 1860. Four years later, she was the first African American woman to receive a medical degree. She moved to Virginia in 1865, where she provided medical care to freed slaves.

It is the eighth time this summer that Guo Xiunan has failed to grow vegetables without chemical pesticides (杀虫剂). After trying various homemade bug sprays (喷剂), such as plant ash, mixtures of pepper, vinegar, alcohol and water, there are still lots of holes in the leaves chewed by beetles .
“I will not give up trying and I will go on with my experiments,” the 29-year-old engineer-turned-farmer says.
Covering 0.67 hectares (公顷) of farmland and 1.33 hectares of woodland and wetland, his farm is located in the suburbs of Hefei, East China’s Anhui province. He is trying to turn it into an organic farm, growing fruits and vegetables with the same flavor of those from his childhood memories. “Growing tasty and healthy food has been my dream since I was a teenager. I know how difficult it can be, but if you take the soil seriously, I believe it will pay off,” Guo says.
He adds that farming is not a business that can make money in a short time, but for him, it became an urgent issue when his father suffered stomach cancer last year, ringing an alarm bell over food safety. Recalling spending time on the farm with his parents as a child, Guo believes the overuse of chemicals in farming is not only damaging the soil, but also people’s health.
After investing more than 100,000 yuan ($13,700) since he rented the farmland last year, and reading many books on agriculture, Guo is in the early stages of fighting the various challenges through trial and error. Meanwhile, he has to develop marketing channels for his products. In March, he uploaded his first post on short-video platform Douyin to introduce his business. His account now has nearly 6,000 followers, which is way above his expectations.
“Maybe it is because I’ve realized their dream life, one that they dare not pursue,” Guo says.
24. What can we know about Guo Xiunan from the passage?
A. He became a farmer after graduation.
B. He spent his childhood on the farm.
C. He’s learning farming from his father.
D. He has made money from his farm.
25. How did his father’s illness influence Guo?
A. He invested in treating the illnesses.
B. He became eager to grow healthy food.
C. He realized the importance of health.
D. He was encouraged to face challenges.
26. What attracts Guo’s followers on Douyin according to him?
A. His agricultural products.
B. His talent in business.
C. His life-choice of farming.
D. His influence of success.
27. Which of the following can best describe Guo?
A. Ambitious and competitive.
B. Traditional and stubborn.
C. Intelligent and adventurous.
D. Determined and hardworking.
C
Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to make sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.
Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board.
That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts.
By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don’t need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.
28. What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible?
A. The use of drones in checking on power lines. B. Drones’ ability to work at high altitudes.
C. The reduction of cost in designing drones. D. Drones’ reliable performance in remote areas.
29. What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Personnel safety. B. Assistance from drones.
C. Inspection and repair. D. Construction of infrastructure.
30. What function is expected of the rail drones?
A. To provide early warning. B. To make trains run automatically.
C. To earn profits for the crews. D. To accelerate transportation.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones
B. How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded
C. What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face
D. How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways
D
We all know that our body language can give off signals to those around us about how we’re truly feeling. Crossed arms or closed body language suggests that we are feeling defensive (防御的) and we didn’t really believe what we’re listening to. Walking here and there suggests that we’re bored. And poor eye contact can suggest that we’re lying.
One major development in the field of body language that hit the headlines is the “power pose.” This is a theory put forward in 2011 by U.S. social psychologists Amy Cuddy, Dana Carney and Andy Yap. They proposed that when you pretend to be powerful, you are more likely to actually feel powerful.
What the theory suggests is that the simple act of holding a powerful pose can have powerful impact. For example, sitting with your legs up on the desk and arms held behind your head can raise your androgen levels and lower your cortisol (皮质醇) levels. Androgen is the hormone that affects dominance (控制); cortisol is the stress hormone. The study assessed participants’ hormone levels before and after they held high-power and low-power poses.
Just as a male gorilla beats his chest to tell his dominance, humans can use body language to enhance their confidence, increase feelings of power, and lower their stress levels. These findings build on several psychological studies suggesting that some aspects of body language can change your emotional state. For instance, someone nodding “yes” to you can make you easier to persuade, and when you smile, you can feel more positive.
So, how can powerful poses help us in the workplace? Well, the study proposes that, simply by striking a powerful pose, you can better prepare yourself for difficult or stressful situations. Perhaps you’ve got a presentation that you’re nervous about giving, or a job interview coming up. Holding a power pose, even in private, can help you to approach these events in a confident and less-stressed way. In contrast, a weak pose with closed body language can make you perform poorly.
32. If one pretends to be strong, _________.
A. he is hiding his scare B. he may need others’ help
C. he is more likely to feel strong D. he may doubt what he is listening to
33. How will people feel if they have high cortisol?
A. Confident. B. Stressed.
C. Bored. D. Defensive.
34. Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To highlight the truth of the power pose. B. To show the body language of gorillas.
C. To persuade people to be more positive. D. To explain the changes in body language.
35. What may be the writer’s suggestion for working?
A. Keeping calm in difficult situations.
B. Taking part in formal events actively.
C. Using a powerful pose to help ourselves.
D. Using more body language in job interviews.

Screen Saver
Rene Compean had hiked the park near his home in Southern California numerous times. But after venturing (敢于去) along a new path last April, the 45-year-old mechanic was lost.
As the day faded into dusk, following several hours of aimless wandering, his concern turned to fear. With no flashlight, only a liter of water and a power bar in his backpack, and less than ten percent battery remaining on his cell phone, Compean was unprepared for anything more than the two-hour journey he’d planned.
Compean climbed to a spot, some 7,000 feet above sea level, where he found at least one bar of signal. “SOS. My phone is going to die. I’m lost,” he texted a friend, attaching a photo showing where he was. The shot showed his legs hanging over rocks.
All Compean could do then was wait and hope. The temperature was dropping fast, and the winds were blowing. And he wouldn’t sleep. After spotting two mountain lions and a hear, he spent the night on high alert, keeping a big stick and some sharp rocks beside him in case an animal came close.
Sixty miles away in Ventura County, Ben Kuo was working at home when he read a tweet from the police station, showing a blurry (模糊的) image of a man’s legs. The police search-and-rescue teams had spent the previous night unsuccessfully looking for Compean, so they released the photo to the public, hoping someone might know the location,
Kuo has an unusual hobby. “I have always loved looking for where photos are taken,” he says. He frequently tries to identify where movie scenes, television shows, or commercials were filmed. He’s often successful.
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。.
Seeing the blurry image, Kuo pulled up a satellite map on his laptop.

The police of Ventura County arrived on the spot immediately.

PRACTITIONERS (从业者)
Jacqueline Felice de Almania (c. 1322) highlights the suspicion (质疑) that women practicing medicine faced. Born to a Jewish family in Florence, she moved to Paris where she worked as a physician (医生) and performed surgery. In 1322 she was tried for practicing unlawfully. In spite of the court hearing testimonials (证明) of her ability as a doctor, she was banned from medicine.
Tan Yunxian (1461-1554) was a Chinese physician who learned her skills from her grandparents. Chinese women at the time could not serve apprenticeships (学徒期) with doctors. However, Tan passed the official exam. Tan treated women from all walks of life. In 1511, Tan wrote a book, Sayings of a Female Doctor, describing her life as a physician.
James Barry (c. 1789-1865) was born Margaret Bulkley in Ireland but, dressed as a man, she was accepted by Edinburgh University to study medicine. She qualified as a surgeon in 1813, then joined the British Army, serving overseas. Barry retired in 1859, having practiced her entire medical profession living and working as a man.
Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831-1895) worked as a nurse for eight years before studying in medical college in Boston in 1860. Four years later, she was the first African American woman to receive a medical degree. She moved to Virginia in 1865, where she provided medical care to freed slaves.

It is the eighth time this summer that Guo Xiunan has failed to grow vegetables without chemical pesticides (杀虫剂). After trying various homemade bug sprays (喷剂), such as plant ash, mixtures of pepper, vinegar, alcohol and water, there are still lots of holes in the leaves chewed by beetles .
“I will not give up trying and I will go on with my experiments,” the 29-year-old engineer-turned-farmer says.
Covering 0.67 hectares (公顷) of farmland and 1.33 hectares of woodland and wetland, his farm is located in the suburbs of Hefei, East China’s Anhui province. He is trying to turn it into an organic farm, growing fruits and vegetables with the same flavor of those from his childhood memories. “Growing tasty and healthy food has been my dream since I was a teenager. I know how difficult it can be, but if you take the soil seriously, I believe it will pay off,” Guo says.
He adds that farming is not a business that can make money in a short time, but for him, it became an urgent issue when his father suffered stomach cancer last year, ringing an alarm bell over food safety. Recalling spending time on the farm with his parents as a child, Guo believes the overuse of chemicals in farming is not only damaging the soil, but also people’s health.
After investing more than 100,000 yuan ($13,700) since he rented the farmland last year, and reading many books on agriculture, Guo is in the early stages of fighting the various challenges through trial and error. Meanwhile, he has to develop marketing channels for his products. In March, he uploaded his first post on short-video platform Douyin to introduce his business. His account now has nearly 6,000 followers, which is way above his expectations.
“Maybe it is because I’ve realized their dream life, one that they dare not pursue,” Guo says.

C. He’s learning farming from his father.
D. He has made money from his farm.
25. How did his father’s illness influence Guo?
A. He invested in treating the illnesses.
B. He became eager to grow healthy food.
C. He realized the importance of health.
D. He was encouraged to face challenges.
26. What attracts Guo’s followers on Douyin according to him?

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Recalling spending time on the farm with his parents as a child, Guo believes the overuse of chemicals in farming is not only damaging the soil, but also people’s health.(回想起小时候和父母一起在农场度过的时光,郭认为,在农业中过度使用化学品不仅会破坏土壤,还会损害人们的健康)”可知,郭秀南他的童年是在农场度过的。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“He adds that farming is not a business that can make money in a short time, but for him, it became an urgent issue when his father suffered stomach cancer last year, ringing an alarm bell over food safety.(他补充说,农业不是一项可以在短时间内赚钱的业务,但对他来说,去年他父亲患胃癌后,这成为了一个紧迫的问题,敲响了食品安全的警钟)”可推知,父亲的病敲响了食品安全的警钟,让他开始渴望种植健康食品。故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Maybe it is because I’ve realized their dream life, one that they dare not pursue,” Guo says.(“也许是因为我实现了他们的梦想生活,一个他们不敢追求的生活,”郭说)”可知,他认为是他实现了他们的梦想生活。由此推知,他的生活吸引了抖音上郭的粉丝。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It is the eighth time this summer that Guo Xiunan has failed to grow vegetables without chemical pesticides (杀虫剂).(这是今年夏天郭秀南第八次种植不使用化学农药的蔬菜失败)”以及第二段““I will not give up trying and I will go on with my experiments,” the 29-year-old engineer-turned-farmer says.(“我不会放弃尝试,我会继续我的实验,”这位29岁的工程师出身的农民说)”可知,他失败了8次了,但是依然不放弃,所以他意志坚定,根据倒数第二段“After investing more than 100,000 yuan ($13,700) since he rented the farmland last year, and reading many books on agriculture, Guo is in the early stages of fighting the various challenges through trial and error. Meanwhile, he has to develop marketing channels for his products. In March, he uploaded his first post on short-video platform Douyin to introduce his business. His account now has nearly 6,000 followers, which is way above his expectations.(自从去年租下这片农田以来,他已经投资了10多万元人民币(合13700美元),并阅读了许多农业方面的书籍,郭还处于通过试错来应对各种挑战的早期阶段。同时,他还要为自己的产品开发营销渠道。今年3月,他在短视频平台抖音上上传了自己的第一篇博文,介绍了自己的业务。他的账户现在有近6000名粉丝,这远远超出了他的预期)”可知,他不但要种植指物,还要学习并且为自己的产品开发营销渠道,所以他很勤奋。故选D项。
C
Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to make sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.
Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board.
That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts.
By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don’t need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.
28. What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible?
A. The use of drones in checking on power lines. B. Drones’ ability to work at high altitudes.
C. The reduction of cost in designing drones. D. Drones’ reliable performance in remote areas.
29. What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Personnel safety. B. Assistance from drones.
C. Inspection and repair. D. Construction of infrastructure.
30. What function is expected of the rail drones?
A. To provide early warning. B. To make trains run automatically.
C. To earn profits for the crews. D. To accelerate transportation.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones
B. How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded
C. What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face
D. How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。应用今天的“空中之眼”的技术,无人机能在保证铁路安全可靠的同时又能帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points.(无人机已经被用于检查高压电线。他们完全可以做同样的事情来检查铁路线路和铁路基础设施的其他重要方面,如铁路轨道和换乘点的正确位置)”可推知,无人机在高压电线检测中的应用,为其应用到铁路线路提供了可行性。故选A。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. (据统计,仅欧洲铁路公司每年在铁路维护上的花费就约为200亿欧元,其中包括经常在夜间派遣维修人员检查和维修铁路基础设施)”可知,花在maintenance上的费用是用于“inspect and repair the rail infrastructure (检查和维修铁路基础设施”。由此可知“That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety”是指大幅节省检修成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全,划线词和 C项:Inspection and repair(检修)含义相近。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.(带有先进传感器和人工智能的非常小的无人机可以像副驾驶一样在火车前面行驶。凭借它们的预见能力,它们可以发出任何问题的信号,以便快速行驶的火车能够及时做出反应)”可推知,对于无人机期待的功能是提前发现问题。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Can a small group of drones(无人机)guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to make sure that the millions of kilometers of rail tracks and infrastructure(基础设施)worldwide are safe for trains on a24/7 basis.(一小群无人机能否在保证铁路安全可靠的同时,帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元?这很可能是应用今天的“空中之眼”技术的未来,以确保全球数百万公里的铁路轨道和基础设施全天候安全运行。)”以及后文第二段讲到了使用无人机检查电力线路使无人机应用于铁路线路成为可能;第三段讲到了使用无人机大幅节省维护成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全;第四段讲到了通过使用最新的技术,无人机还可以开始为铁路提供更高的价值,可知文章主要讲述了无人机将如何改变铁路的未来,所以D项“无人机将如何改变铁路的未来。”符合文章中心思想,适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。

D
We all know that our body language can give off signals to those around us about how we’re truly feeling. Crossed arms or closed body language suggests that we are feeling defensive (防御的) and we didn’t really believe what we’re listening to. Walking here and there suggests that we’re bored. And poor eye contact can suggest that we’re lying.
One major development in the field of body language that hit the headlines is the “power pose.” This is a theory put forward in 2011 by U.S. social psychologists Amy Cuddy, Dana Carney and Andy Yap. They proposed that when you pretend to be powerful, you are more likely to actually feel powerful.
What the theory suggests is that the simple act of holding a powerful pose can have powerful impact. For example, sitting with your legs up on the desk and arms held behind your head can raise your androgen levels and lower your cortisol (皮质醇) levels. Androgen is the hormone that affects dominance (控制); cortisol is the stress hormone. The study assessed participants’ hormone levels before and after they held high-power and low-power poses.
Just as a male gorilla beats his chest to tell his dominance, humans can use body language to enhance their confidence, increase feelings of power, and lower their stress levels. These findings build on several psychological studies suggesting that some aspects of body language can change your emotional state. For instance, someone nodding “yes” to you can make you easier to persuade, and when you smile, you can feel more positive.
So, how can powerful poses help us in the workplace? Well, the study proposes that, simply by striking a powerful pose, you can better prepare yourself for difficult or stressful situations. Perhaps you’ve got a presentation that you’re nervous about giving, or a job interview coming up. Holding a power pose, even in private, can help you to approach these events in a confident and less-stressed way. In contrast, a weak pose with closed body language can make you perform poorly.
32. If one pretends to be strong, _________.
A. he is hiding his scare B. he may need others’ help
C. he is more likely to feel strong D. he may doubt what he is listening to
33. How will people feel if they have high cortisol?
A. Confident. B. Stressed.
C. Bored. D. Defensive.
34. Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To highlight the truth of the power pose. B. To show the body language of gorillas.
C. To persuade people to be more positive. D. To explain the changes in body language.
35. What may be the writer’s suggestion for working?
A. Keeping calm in difficult situations.
B. Taking part in formal events actively.
C. Using a powerful pose to help ourselves.
D. Using more body language in job interviews.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国心理学家提出的理论,当你假装强大时,你更有可能真正感到强大,并举例证明及给出在工作场所使用强势姿势的建议。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They proposed that when you pretend to be powerful, you are more likely to actually feel powerful. (他们提出,当你假装强大时,你更有可能真正感到强大)”可知,如果假装强大,可能就会感觉自己很强大,故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“What the theory suggests is that the simple act of holding a powerful pose can have powerful impact. For example, sitting with your legs up on the desk and arms held behind your head can raise your androgen levels and lower your cortisol (皮质醇) levels. Androgen is the hormone that affects dominance (控制); cortisol is the stress hormone. (这一理论表明,保持一个有力姿势的简单动作可以产生强大的影响。例如,把腿搭在桌子上,把胳膊放在脑后坐着可以提高你的雄激素水平,降低你的皮质醇水平。雄激素是影响支配地位的激素;皮质醇是压力荷尔蒙)”可知,如果皮质醇水平高,人们会感到有压力,故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One major development in the field of body language that hit the headlines is the “power pose.” This is a theory put forward in 2011 by U.S. social psychologists Amy Cuddy, Dana Carney and Andy Yap. They proposed that when you pretend to be powerful, you are more likely to actually feel powerful. (肢体语言领域的一个重大发展成为头条新闻,那就是“强势姿势”。这是美国社会心理学家Amy Cuddy、Dana Carney和Andy Yap在2011年提出的一个理论。他们提出,当你假装强大时,你更有可能真正感到强大)”和第四段“Just as a male gorilla beats his chest to tell his dominance, humans can use body language to enhance their confidence, increase feelings of power, and lower their stress levels. (就像雄性大猩猩通过捶胸脯来表明自己的统治地位一样,人类也可以用肢体语言来增强自信,增强力量感,降低压力水平)”可推知,举例是为了强调强势姿势的真实性。故选A。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“So, how can powerful poses help us in the workplace? Well, the study proposes that, simply by striking a powerful pose, you can better prepare yourself for difficult or stressful situations. Perhaps you’ve got a presentation that you’re nervous about giving, or a job interview coming up. Holding a power pose, even in private, can help you to approach these events in a confident and less-stressed way. (那么,强大的姿势如何在工作场所帮助我们呢?这项研究表明,只要摆出一个有力的姿势,你就能更好地为困难或压力环境做好准备。也许你有一个演讲,你很紧张,或者一个工作面试即将到来。保持强势姿势,即使是在私下,也可以帮助你以自信和压力较小的方式处理这些事件。相反,一个虚弱的姿势和封闭的肢体语言会让你表现得很差)”可知,作者建议在工作中使用强势姿势来帮助我们自己。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了中国女科学家屠呦呦的生平事迹以及她发现青蒿素对疟疾治疗的重要贡献。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意:她开始谈论救命的药物青蒿素,这是她在20世纪70年代在她的团队的帮助下发现的。with the help of是固定短语,意为“在……的帮助下”,因此空格处用介词with,故填with。
【57题详解】
考查不定式和被动语态。句意:这位女士就是屠呦呦,她是第一位因其工作而获得诺贝尔奖的中国女科学家。Chinese female scientist前有序数词,空格处用不定式作后置定语,屠呦呦是被授予诺贝尔奖,因此空格处用不定式的被动语态to be awarded。故填to be awarded。
【58题详解】
考查时态。句意:她在北京大学医学部学医。句子描述过去的事情,时态用一般过去时,空格处用过去式,故填studied。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:后来,她跟随该领域的专家学习了两年半的中医,对传统习俗有了深入的了解。空格处是“介词+whom/which”引导的限制性定语从句,先行词experts是人,因此空格处用whom,故填whom。
【60题详解】
考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:1969年,屠呦呦被选中组建一个团队,寻找疟疾的治疗方法。疟疾每年夺去数百万人的生命。由In 1969可知,句子描述过去的事情,屠呦呦是被选中,因此句子用一般过去时的被动语态was/were done,主语Tu Youyou是单数,因此空格处是was chosen。故填was chosen。
【61题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:1969年,屠呦呦被选中组建一个团队,寻找疟疾的治疗方法。疟疾每年夺去数百万人的生命。millions of是固定短语,意为“数百万的”,因此空格处是millions。故填millions。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意:然而,屠呦呦有一个想法,中草药可能藏有这个秘密。idea是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,idea是元音音素开头,因此不定冠词用an,故填an。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她研究了数百种与抗疟疾疗法有关的传统配方。句中谓语是researched,空格处用非谓语动词,traditional recipes和connect之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,故填connected。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意:他们克服了许多困难,最后屠呦呦勇敢地自愿成为第一个人体受试者,试验取得了成功。空格处用副词修饰动词volunteered,brave的副词是bravely,意为“勇敢地”。故填bravely。
【65题详解】
考查最高级。句意:他们发现的药物,青蒿素,现在已经成为世界上对抗疟疾最有效的药物。根据语境可知,句子表示“青蒿素现在已经成为世界上对抗疟疾最有效的药物”,空格处意为“最有效的”,用最高级most effective。故填most effective。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Screen Saver
Rene Compean had hiked the park near his home in Southern California numerous times. But after venturing (敢于去) along a new path last April, the 45-year-old mechanic was lost.
As the day faded into dusk, following several hours of aimless wandering, his concern turned to fear. With no flashlight, only a liter of water and a power bar in his backpack, and less than ten percent battery remaining on his cell phone, Compean was unprepared for anything more than the two-hour journey he’d planned.
Compean climbed to a spot, some 7,000 feet above sea level, where he found at least one bar of signal. “SOS. My phone is going to die. I’m lost,” he texted a friend, attaching a photo showing where he was. The shot showed his legs hanging over rocks.
All Compean could do then was wait and hope. The temperature was dropping fast, and the winds were blowing. And he wouldn’t sleep. After spotting two mountain lions and a hear, he spent the night on high alert, keeping a big stick and some sharp rocks beside him in case an animal came close.
Sixty miles away in Ventura County, Ben Kuo was working at home when he read a tweet from the police station, showing a blurry (模糊的) image of a man’s legs. The police search-and-rescue teams had spent the previous night unsuccessfully looking for Compean, so they released the photo to the public, hoping someone might know the location,
Kuo has an unusual hobby. “I have always loved looking for where photos are taken,” he says. He frequently tries to identify where movie scenes, television shows, or commercials were filmed. He’s often successful.
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。.
Seeing the blurry image, Kuo pulled up a satellite map on his laptop.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The police of Ventura County arrived on the spot immediately.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Seeing the blurry image, Kuo pulled up a satellite map on his laptop. The first thing that he noticed in Compean’s photo were patches of greenery. After comparing it to the satellite map, Kuo realized something: “He must be on the south side because there’s not really any green valleys on the north side.” That finding tightened his search, leading him to an area that resembled the terrain in the image. The final step was cross-referencing the original photo with 3-D images of the area from the satellite map. The locations matched! Kuo soon called the police of Ventura County and told them the location.
The police of Ventura County arrived on the spot immediately. Soon, a search-and- rescue team helicopter was in the air, hovering above Compean. After spending 27 hours alone in the wilderness, Compean cried with excitement, “I’m safe!” The police told Compean that his story probably would have ended very differently had a total stranger with strong satellite skills and a sharp eye for detail not taken action. Days later, Compean paid a visit to Kuo, expressing his gratitude to him. He told Kuo, “I owe you my life.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以故事发展为线索展开,Rene Compean在徒步旅行时迷路了,在他发出求救信号和所在位置的照片后,警察也不能确定他的位置。而Ben Kuo有个爱好,他喜欢寻找照片的拍摄地点,他通过对比地图和Rene Compean的照片找到了Rene Compean的位置,所以警察才能救下Rene Compean。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“看到模糊的图像,Kuo在他的笔记本电脑上打开了一张卫星地图。 ”可知,第一段可描写Kuo通过对比地图和Compean的照片找到Compean的位置,并告知警察。
②由第二段首句内容“文图拉县的警察立即赶到了现场。”可知,第二段可描写警察救下Compean以及Compean的感激之情。
2.续写线索:看到模糊的图片——Kuo对比地图和图片——Kuo确定位置——Compean得救
3.词汇激活
行为类
①注意到:notice/pay attention to
②给某人打电话:call somebody/give somebody a ring/ring somebody up
③拜访某人:pay a visit to somebody/visit somebody/drop in on somebody
情绪类
①激动地:with excitement/excitedly
②感激:gratitude/appreciation
【点睛】[高分句型1]The first thing that he noticed in Compean’s photo were patches of greenery. (由关系代词that引导的限制性定语从句)
[高分句型2]That finding tightened his search, leading him to an area that resembled the terrain in the image. (leading是现在分词作状语)
[高分句型3]The police told Compean that his story probably would have ended very differently had a total stranger with strong satellite skills and a sharp eye for detail not taken action. (运用了that引导的宾语从句,虚拟语气和倒装)
