You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the US Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On 1 December 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus toa white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
11. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?
A Her social work. B. Her teaching skills.
C. Her efforts to win a prize. D. Her community background.
12. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?
A. Her lack of proper training in law.
B. Her little work experience in court.
C. The discrimination (歧视) against women.
D. The poor financial conditions.
13. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the US?
A. Jane Addams. B. Rachel Carson.
C. Sandra Day O’Connor. D. Rosa Parks.
B
I was sitting at my kitchen table the other day with a pen, notebook, calculator and a pile of bills. I was doing my monthly budget. There were bills for rent, insurance, the car, the phone, and cable (有线电视), plus money for food, gas, clothes, and hopefully a little left over for unexpected expenses. When I was done, I shook my head, closed my eyes and thought of a time long ago when I would regularly get treasures.
When I was a boy, we lived across the road from Camp Caesar. It held week-long camps throughout the summer and my grandma who I lovingly called “Nanny” worked in her big kitchen. Every time I visited her, I was greeted with a warm smile, a hug, and a kiss. After that, she would hand me a hot roll, still fresh from her kitchen. Then she would reach into her pockets and pull out a treasure — a shiny quarter, which I would quickly use to buy an ice-cold Coke or a warm cherry Coke and a small bag of chips. I always took my time deciding, feeling rich for a few minutes.
Looking back now I can see that the real treasure was not the quarter at all. It was the love with which Nanny gave it to me. It was her smile, hugs, and kisses that were priceless in my heart then and now.
The old saying is true, “With your work you can make a living, but it is with your love that you make a life.” You can always welcome love into your heart, soul and mind. And you can always share your love with others. It is that one treasure that lasts forever.
14. According to Paragraph 1, what was the author trying to figure out?
A. Where to get treasures. B. What food and supplies to buy.
C. How to sort out these bills at hand. D. How to balance the money available.
15. What does the underlined word “roll” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A sound. B. A greeting.
C. A kind of act. D. A kind of bread.
16. Which of the following best describes Nanny?
A. Loving. B. Helpful. C. Humorous. D. Selfless.
17. Why does the author mention the old saying in the last Paragraph?
A To change people’s heart and soul.
B. To show what we should value in life.
C. To explain work and love can make a life.
D. To advise more love and sharing in childhood.
C
When learning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional ways: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But Brian Mathias’ research team found out that if you gesture(做手势) with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later.
As Mathias describes, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented words over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed the gesture themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German. At the same time, they had equipment attached to their heads that sent weak distracting signals to their primary motor cortex(运动皮层) — the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. Those who performed better on the task showed a higher level of activity in their motor cortex. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. The effect did not occur when the subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures.
Another research group led by Leipzig had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days, paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures. After two months, the two methods were still equally effective. But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the children were helped equally by both.
But it is not only the motor cortex itself that promotes learning. The meaning expressed by the gesture also figures in, “I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms,” Goldin-Meadow says. “Good teachers and good listeners use it, but not always in a systematic way. Others don’t necessarily bring it into the class — and it could be used more often and more effectively.”
18. What do we know according to Brian Mathias’ research?
A. Those only presented with matching pictures performed better.
B. The motor cortex had nothing to do with the vocabulary learning.
C. The research concluded that gestures benefited vocabulary learning.
D. 22 German-speaking adults and children were chosen as the test subjects.
19. Why was equipment attached to the subjects’ heads during Mathias’ test?
A. To count words. B. To record emotion.
C. To influence brain activity. D. To give clues to questions.
20. What does Leipzig’s research tell us about language learning?
A. Adults and children are equally good learners.
B. Pictures have little influence on language learning.
C. Pictures are found more helpful than videos for children.
D. Benefits of gestures are more obvious in adults in the long run.
21. What does the author suggest teachers do in the classroom?
A. Make better use of gestures.
B. Teach listening in a systematic way.
C. Avoid traditional teaching approaches.
D. Do some scientific researches on teaching.
D
Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries
Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”
22. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club?
A. They’re unfair. B. They’re conservative.
C. They’re objective. D. They’re strict.
23. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs
24. Why are more geniuses known to the public?
A. Improved global communication.
B. Less discrimination against women.
C. Acceptance of victors’ concepts.
D. Changes in people’s social positions.
25. What is the best title for the text?
A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms
C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the US Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On 1 December 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus toa white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
11. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?

C. Her efforts to win a prize. D. Her community background.
12. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?

B. Her little work experience in court.
C. The discrimination (歧视) against women.
D. The poor financial conditions.
13. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the US?
A. Jane Addams. B. Rachel Carson.
C. Sandra Day O’Connor. D. Rosa Parks.
【答案】11. A 12. C 13. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了对人类发展产生重大影响的四位女性Jane Addams、Rachel Carson、Sandra Day O’Connor以及Rosa Parks的故事,赞扬她们为人类进步所做出的巨大贡献。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据Jane Addams (1860-1935)部分“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.(任何曾经得到过社工帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。)”可知,任何一个得到社会工作者帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。由此可知,正是Jane Addams推动了社会工作的发展,她才因此而出名。故选A。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)部分“When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.(1952年,当Sandra Day O’Connor以全班第三名的成绩毕业于Stanford Law School时,她找不到律师事务所的工作,因为她是女性。)”可知,因为是女性,Sandra Day O’Connor在律师事务所找不到工作。由此可知,律师事务所拒绝O’Connor主要是因为她是一位女性,也就是对妇女的歧视。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Rosa Parks部分“It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.(它持续了一年多,并拉开了民权运动的序幕。Parks说:“我唯一感到疲倦的是,我厌倦了屈服。”)”可知,正是因为Rosa Parks的努力,美国的民权运动才得以推进,她对美国的人权运动做出了巨大的贡献。故选D。
B
I was sitting at my kitchen table the other day with a pen, notebook, calculator and a pile of bills. I was doing my monthly budget. There were bills for rent, insurance, the car, the phone, and cable (有线电视), plus money for food, gas, clothes, and hopefully a little left over for unexpected expenses. When I was done, I shook my head, closed my eyes and thought of a time long ago when I would regularly get treasures.
When I was a boy, we lived across the road from Camp Caesar. It held week-long camps throughout the summer and my grandma who I lovingly called “Nanny” worked in her big kitchen. Every time I visited her, I was greeted with a warm smile, a hug, and a kiss. After that, she would hand me a hot roll, still fresh from her kitchen. Then she would reach into her pockets and pull out a treasure — a shiny quarter, which I would quickly use to buy an ice-cold Coke or a warm cherry Coke and a small bag of chips. I always took my time deciding, feeling rich for a few minutes.
Looking back now I can see that the real treasure was not the quarter at all. It was the love with which Nanny gave it to me. It was her smile, hugs, and kisses that were priceless in my heart then and now.
The old saying is true, “With your work you can make a living, but it is with your love that you make a life.” You can always welcome love into your heart, soul and mind. And you can always share your love with others. It is that one treasure that lasts forever.
14. According to Paragraph 1, what was the author trying to figure out?
A. Where to get treasures. B. What food and supplies to buy.
C. How to sort out these bills at hand. D. How to balance the money available.
15. What does the underlined word “roll” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A sound. B. A greeting.
C. A kind of act. D. A kind of bread.
16. Which of the following best describes Nanny?
A. Loving. B. Helpful. C. Humorous. D. Selfless.
17. Why does the author mention the old saying in the last Paragraph?
A. To change people’s heart and soul.
B. To show what we should value in life.
C. To explain work and love can make a life.
D. To advise more love and sharing in childhood.

When learning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional ways: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But Brian Mathias’ research team found out that if you gesture(做手势) with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later.
As Mathias describes, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented words over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed the gesture themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German. At the same time, they had equipment attached to their heads that sent weak distracting signals to their primary motor cortex(运动皮层) — the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. Those who performed better on the task showed a higher level of activity in their motor cortex. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. The effect did not occur when the subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures.
Another research group led by Leipzig had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days, paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures. After two months, the two methods were still equally effective. But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the children were helped equally by both.
But it is not only the motor cortex itself that promotes learning. The meaning expressed by the gesture also figures in, “I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms,” Goldin-Meadow says. “Good teachers and good listeners use it, but not always in a systematic way. Others don’t necessarily bring it into the class — and it could be used more often and more effectively.”
18. What do we know according to Brian Mathias’ research?
A. Those only presented with matching pictures performed better.
B The motor cortex had nothing to do with the vocabulary learning.
C. The research concluded that gestures benefited vocabulary learning.
D. 22 German-speaking adults and children were chosen as the test subjects.
19. Why was equipment attached to the subjects’ heads during Mathias’ test?
A. To count words. B. To record emotion.
C. To influence brain activity. D. To give clues to questions.
20. What does Leipzig’s research tell us about language learning?
A. Adults and children are equally good learners.
B. Pictures have little influence on language learning.
C. Pictures are found more helpful than videos for children.
D. Benefits of gestures are more obvious in adults in the long run.
21. What does the author suggest teachers do in the classroom?
A. Make better use of gestures.
B. Teach listening in a systematic way.
C Avoid traditional teaching approaches.
D. Do some scientific researches on teaching.
【答案】18. C 19. C 20. D 21. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了研究发现利用手势学习外语更有利于记忆单词。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But Brian Mathias’ research team found out that if you gesture(做手势) with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later. (但Brian Mathias的研究团队发现,如果你在学习时用手臂做手势,即使几个月后,你也能更好地记住词汇。)”可知,Brian Mathias的研究总结出运用手势有利于单词学习。故选C。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At the same time, they had equipment attached to their heads that sent weak distracting signals to their primary motor cortex(运动皮层) — the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements.(与此同时,他们的头上安装了设备,向他们的初级运动皮层——控制自主手臂运动的大脑区域——发送微弱的分散注意力的信号。)”可知,这种设备会影响大脑活动。故选C。
【20题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After two months, the two methods were still equally effective. But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the children were helped equally by both.(两个月后,这两种方法仍然同样有效。但六个月后,成年人从手势中受益比图片更多,而孩子们则从两者中得到了同等的帮助。)”可知,从长远来看,手势学习的好处对成年人更明显。故选D。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms,” Goldin-Meadow says. “Good teachers and good listeners use it, but not always in a systematic way. Others don’t necessarily bring it into the class — and it could be used more often and more effectively.”(戈尔丁-梅多说:“我认为我们在课堂上没有充分利用手势。好的老师和好的听众会使用它,但并不总是系统地使用。其他人不一定会把它带到课堂上,但它可以更经常、更有效地使用。”)”可推测出,作者建议老师更充分地使用手势。故选A。
D
Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”
22. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club?
A. They’re unfair. B. They’re conservative.
C. They’re objective. D. They’re strict.
23. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs
24. Why are more geniuses known to the public?
A. Improved global communication.
B. Less discrimination against women.
C Acceptance of victors’ concepts.
D. Changes in people’s social positions.
25. What is the best title for the text?
A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms
C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck
【答案】22. A 23. D 24. A 25. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章由问题“谁是天才?”引入,论述了世人对天才的狭隘定义,提出事实上“天才”有很多种形式,不要让思维限制了我们的“天才”能力。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“It is said that history is written by victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club-women, or people of a different color or belief-they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.(据说历史是由胜利者书写的,而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时,他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝。)”可知,作者认为那些“胜利者”对进“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的,因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief. Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.(更糟糕的是,研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的。六岁左右,她们开始避免那些据说是“非常非常聪明”的孩子参加的活动。)”可推知,女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响,认为自己不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。故选D。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.(在一个拥有持续的全球交流的联网的世界里,我们随时随地都能看到天才的出现。)”可知,进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。故选A。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,结合文章第一段提出问题“Who is a genius?(谁是天才)”和最后一段的“And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, who are able to change the world.(我们看得越多,就越会发现,像性别、种族和阶级这样的社会因素并不能决定天才的外表。正如一位作家所说,未来的天才来自那些具有“智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才。)”可知,天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人,他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。

【51题详解】
考查语态。句意:表现突出的教师将从全国各地的学院和学习机构中选拔出来,向朝廷报告,并获得500两银币作为奖励。Teachers和pick之间是动宾关系,应用被动语态,且空前有would,这里应用be done的形式。故填be picked。

考查名词。句意:在私塾,教师总是在某些节日或每学期开始和结束时收到寄宿家庭的钱或礼物。空前有the,空处应用名词。beginning意为“开始”。根据空后的“and end of each semester”可知,这里特指每学期的开始和结束,应用名词单数。故填beginning。
【55题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:教师收到礼物的节日因地区而异,而最受重视的节日是端午节、中秋节和春节,以及孔子的生日和私人教师的生日。这里是“in+关系词”引导的定语从句,先行词为指物的The festivals,所以应用关系代词which。故填which。

Dear Peter,
I’m sorry to hear you’re stressed about balancing heavy schoolwork and colorful club activities. It’s totally normal for freshmen to feel this way, so don’t be too hard on yourself.
Here are two practical suggestions. First, make a detailed schedule to arrange study and club time reasonably — prioritize important tasks like exams. Second, don’t hesitate to quit some less important club events if you feel overwhelmed. It’s better to focus on a few things well than do many poorly.
Hope these tips help. May you soon find a balance and enjoy your high school life!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
