B Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie or Richard Feynman,Wu Chien-shiung is not a household name in China but she was one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century,one that"completely"changed human's view of the universe. Wu's father,Wu Zhongyi,founded the first school for girls in Taicang,aiming to break the old idea that it was women's virtue to have no talents,which had the greatest influence on Wu Chien-shiung's life.Working in the scientific world dominated (by men,she never gave up or lowered her standards even if unequally treated.After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934,Wu registered at the University of California,Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics. During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist,Wu's pioneering achievements won her nicknames such as "Chinese Madame Curie","queen of nuclear research"and "first lady of physics".She was the first woman to be president of American Physical Society,the first female winner of the Comstock Prize in physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences,the first person to receive the Wolf Prize in physics,the first honorary doctorate awarded by Princeton University to a woman,and the first female professor of physics in the history of Columbia University. To get accurate results from experiments,she worked very hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation ()for accuracy.There was a saying among physicists:If the experiment was done by Wu,it must be correct.She was always very careful in experiments, 高二英语试题卷第3页（共8页） spending a great deal of time calibrating (instruments.She didn't start collecting data until she fully understood the instruments.Her experiments overturned many previous experimental results and theories,said Samuel Chao Chung Ting,American physicist and Nobel Prize winner.

C Primary testing of a newly developed Al-enhanced blood test has shown promise in being able to accurately determine the potential of someone's developing Parkinson's disease in the coming years.In research published last week,a team of scientists in Europe identified eight blood-based biomarkers that might warn doctors to a high potential for Parkinson's disease development in a patient-up to seven years before symptoms()appear. The test,while still in its early stages,offers hope for a disorder that has no cure and affects nearly nine million people worldwide.At present,the treatment for Parkinson's disease tends to be reactive and focused on stopping symptoms from getting worse,which include shaking movements,slow movements,stiffness and a loss of balance,after a diagnosis (is made. "We need to get to people before they develop symptoms.It's always better to do prevention rather than cure,"senior author Kevin Mills says.With this goal in mind,the team began their work by collecting blood samples from 99 people who have Parkinson's disease and 36 people who don't.Analyzing a selection of 70 percent of these samples,a machine learning algorithm (identified eight proteins that appeared in different concentrations in the blood of those with the disease. This pattern could provide a diagnosis with 100 percent accuracy,according to a statement from University College London.In a follow-up evaluation,the algorithm was given the remaining 30 percent of blood samples that it hadn't been trained on-30 from people currently with Parkinson's disease and 11 from people without it.The tool aced the test,correctly diagnosing every patient."This means that drug treatment could potentially be given at an earlier stage,which could possibly slow down disease progression or even prevent it from occurring," Michael Bartl,the co-first author of the study,says. "We've seen significant progress in the development of exciting new tests for Parkinson's disease in the last year alone,"Katherine Fletcher,research communications leader says."We anticipate that these new tests will start being used within the next few years." 28.What can the new blood test do for Parkinson's disease? A.Predict its likelihood. B.Identify its initial causes. C.Relieve its symptoms. D.Determine its treatment plan 高二英语试题卷第4页（共8页) 29.What do we know about the current treatment for Parkinson's disease? A.It is mainly preventive. B.It is based on early diagnosis. C.It is on symptom control. D.It is effective in complete cure. 30.What does the underlined phrase"aced the test"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Needed a new test. B.Performed well in the test. C.Became a failed test. D.Showed limitations in the test. 31.What is Katherine Fletcher's attitude to the new blood test for Parkinson's disease? A.Contradictory. B.Indifferent. C.Optimistic. D.Doubtful. D Picture this,you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they'd like to join.There comes their response"Maybe."Your mood immediately turns,for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert. If you've experienced anything like the above anecdote ()you're not alone.People responding"maybe"to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life.What goes on in people's heads when they aren't sure whether to accept an invitation?Social invitations can be a delicate dance.People often misread what someone giving an invitation wants to hear and overestimate an inviter's likelihood of preferring a"maybe"over a"no."Moreover,they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a"maybe"in response to their invitation. Naturally,we wanted to figure out why this awkward interaction plays out.We found that it's largely due to something called"motivated reasoning."Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased(有偏差的)way to suit their own wishes.In other words,invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear"maybe"instead of"no"because a"maybe"is better for the invitees,allowing them to leave their options open.Besides,people tend to overestimate the negative consequences of saying"no"to invitations,thinking it will upset,anger and disappoint inviters. However,there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying"no"to an invitation.When receivers of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person offering the invitation,they are more likely to realize that they'd probably prefer a definite answer.When the participants get invited to do something they didn't want to do,they had no desire to keep their options open.The motivated reasoning then became irrelevant. While tackling social situations can be tricky,being direct and definite is sometimes best.It might reduce your options.But it'll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they'll still think of you when the next concert comes to town. 32.Why is the concert anecdote mentioned at the beginning? A.To introduce a common social situation. B.To stress the importance of quick replies. C.To encourage immediate decision-making. D.To explain the background of the invitation. 33.What is the main reason for the response of"maybe"to an invitation? A.An underestimation of refusal result. B.A biased interpretation of social signals. C.A desire for harmonious communication. D.An understanding of the inviter's expectation. 34.What is the author's suggestion in the last paragraph? A.Giving clear response to the invitation. B.Keeping your options open for better plans. C.Thinking twice before refusing an invitation. D.Accepting invitations to maintain friendships 高二英语试题卷第5页（共8页） 35.What is the best title for the passage? A.The Psychology behind"Maybe" B.The Hidden Consequence of“Maybe'” C.“Maybe'”:A Polite Escape from'Conflict D."Maybe":A Perfect Solution to Invitations 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Think back to the last time you shopped for fruits and vegetables.You may have noticed some items labeled with the word"organic".36 "Organic"refers to the way food is grown.To be labeled as organic,food production must meet strict guidelines.These can be different depending on where you live.In the United States, organic foods must be grown or raised without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers 37 That changed after the Industrial Revolution.During the 20th century,many ideas that were used by factories and big businesses were put into action on farms.This helped some farms grow larger and produce more. The organic movement was started to get back to the old traditional ways of farming.Why? Many believe the chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to your health.38 And those who support the organic movement also point to its benefits for the environment. Have you ever compared organic and non-organic foods at the grocery store?If so,you know that organic food tend to cost more.This happens for many reasons.Organic farming produces fewer crops.39 Additionally,organic farms spend more money taking care of the animals they raise.These and other factors drive the cost of organic food up. Is organic food worth the extra cost?Some people believe it is.They may think it tastes better or just prefer to eat food that has not been grown using chemicals.40 They are still trying to find a major difference between organic and non-organic food in terms of safety, nutrition,or taste.Still,others argue that the environmental benefits of organic food make it worth the price. A.Have you ever wondered what that means? B.The cost of production is also usually higher. C.For most of history,almost all food was organic. D.Are you wondering if organic food is right for you? E.Many people are willing to pay more for organic food. F.Some also think organic foods are naturally more nutritious G.Scientists have studied organic and non-organic foods for many years now. 第三部分语言运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项。 Contrary to(与…相反)popular belief,the secret to confident public speaking is not about getting rid of your nerves.The key is to redefine your anxiety as 41.

As I set the tray (down on a small table by the window,I glanced over and saw two firefighters in the corner.Their uniforms were heavy with faint spots,like they'd just stepped away from a smoky scene,and their boots still held a bit of damp from the morning dew.They stood in the back of the line,shoulders relaxed but eyes tired. I was just about to pick up my burger-the cheese melted perfectly-when a loud,sharp alarm cut through the noise of the restaurant.The two firefighters froze for half a second,and then moved.No hesitation,no exchange of words-just muscle memory.One grabbed his helmet off the nearby counter,the other adjusted his radio on his shoulder,and they turned toward the door,their steps quickening.I watched them go,and my fork paused mid-air. My empty stomach served as a quiet reminder of how long I'd waited for this meal.I'd stood in that line for 15 minutes,my feet aching from the morning's work.Giving them my lunch meant I would have to wait again-maybe another line,maybe my break slipping away faster.I bit my lip,staring at the tray.Then I thought of their uniforms,the spots,the way they'd act upon hearing the alarm like it was a call they couldn't ignore.They didn't get to pause for a meal when emergencies hit.They'd probably go hours without eating,running from one call to the next. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My hesitation melted away. I went back to the counter,only to find the manager was waiting for me. 高二英语试题卷第8页（共8页）
