Dear John, I’d like to introduce my favorite scientist to you. He is Qian Xuesen, a patriotic, outstanding and gifted scientist.

In 1955, he returned from America to China and was in charge of China’s space and missile programme. Under his leadership, China made steady progress in aerospace and aviation. He made great contributions to the development of China’s aerospace. Qian Xuesen devoted all his life to science and he will inspire me to follow my dream. Sincerely yours, Li Hua 八、任务型读写：本大题共1小题，每题25分，满分25分。 67. When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered. There was an extraordinary outburst of applause from every corner of the auditorium. People were all on their feet, screaming and cheering, doing everything they could to show how much they appreciated what he had done with just three strings on the stage. People were all astonished by his exquisite skills and brilliant performances. He has prepared all his life to make music on a violin of four strings. All of a sudden, in the middle of a concert he found himself with only three strings; so he made music with three strings. The music he made that night with just three strings was more beautiful, more sacred, more memorable, than any that he had ever made before, when he had four strings. Perhaps our task in this fast changing world is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left. 【解析】 1. creative 解析：需要形容词修饰名词“way”， create  的形容词形式是  creative ，表示“富有创造力的”。 原句翻译：她一直以一种相当有创造力的方式传承中国传统文化。 2. proposal 解析：不定冠词“a”后接名词， propose  的名词形式是  proposal ，固定搭配  make a proposal  意为“提出一项提议”。 原句翻译：他们提出了一项保护当地河流免受污染的提议。 3. limited 解析：用形容词  limited  修饰名词“resources”，表示“有限的”，说明资源的数量是有限的。 原句翻译：我们正利用现有的有限资源尽最大努力。 4. applicant 解析：不定冠词“an”后接名词， apply  的名词形式是  applicant ，表示“申请者”。 原句翻译：任何热爱历史的人都可以成为关注文物保护的志愿者项目的申请者。 5. comparison 解析：固定搭配  in comparison with  意为“与……相比”， compare  的名词形式是  comparison 。 原句翻译：通过精心修复来保护古建筑，比仅仅在周围张贴警告标志需要更多的时间、资金和技能。 6. to carry 解析：固定句型  It is worthwhile to do sth.  意为“做某事是值得的”，因此用动词不定式  to carry 。 原句翻译：对中国古建筑进行研究是值得的。 7. refused 解析：“get + 过去分词”构成被动结构， refuse  的过去分词是  refused ，表示“被拒绝”。 原句翻译：我的提议被拒绝了，因此我心情低落。 8. encountered 解析：时间状语“in his first week”表明动作发生在过去， encounter  的过去式是  encountered ，表示“遇到”。 原句翻译：这位新经理在他的第一周遇到了一些困难。 9. consequently 解析：用副词  consequently  连接前后句，表示“因此，从而”，说明前文行为的结果。 原句翻译：这对农业和食物链构成了威胁，进而对人类健康构成威胁。 10. relatively 解析：用副词  relatively  修饰形容词“long”，表示“相对地”，说明时间的长度是相对的。 原句翻译：在农村地区，救护车可能需要相对较长的时间才能到达，因此电话亭起到了救命的作用。 11. objective 解析：形容词“objective”意为“客观的”，修饰名词“evidence”，表示“客观的证据”。 原句翻译：他没有任何客观证据表明正在发生什么不寻常的事情。 12. evaluated 解析：主语“results”与“评估”是被动关系，用  evaluate  的过去分词  evaluated ，构成被动语态。 原句翻译：数据被分析，结果被评估并与其他研究人员分享。 13. property 解析：名词“property”意为“财产”，是不可数名词，符合语境中“拥有多少财产”的表达。 原句翻译：事实上，幸福不在于你拥有多少财产。 14. vital 解析：形容词“vital”意为“必不可少的”，固定搭配  be vital to  表示“对……至关重要”。 原句翻译：水对于维持所有生物的生命是必不可少的。 15. acknowledged 解析：固定句型  It is widely acknowledged that...  意为“人们普遍认为……”， acknowledge  的过去分词是  acknowledged 。 原句翻译：人们普遍认为，应该从整体质量的角度来评价学生。 16. distinct 解析：形容词“distinct”意为“清晰的”，说明每个词都很清晰，能够被完全理解。 原句翻译：他的声音很轻，但每个词都很清晰，所以我完全听懂了。 17. gradually 解析：副词“gradually”意为“逐渐地”，修饰动词“became”，表示变化的过程是渐进的。 原句翻译：夜幕降临，天气逐渐变凉，我们在寒风中微微发抖。 18. passion 解析：名词“passion”意为“酷爱”，固定搭配  strong passion for  表示“对……的强烈热爱”。 原句翻译：知道你对中国文学有强烈的热爱，我想向你推荐《红楼梦》。 19. devices 解析：名词“device”意为“装置”，此处用复数形式  devices ，表示“所有现代化办公设备”。 原句翻译：除此之外，她打字速度足够快，并且熟悉所有现代化办公设备。 20. novelist 解析：名词“novelist”意为“小说家”，说明作品的创作者是小说家。 原句翻译：这位小说家的作品很大程度上取材于她的个人经历。  21~23. 21. 细节理解题。根据Martha Argerich部分中“Argerich preferred being on stage with others instead of performing solo; therefore, she has been performing in a concerto format since the 1980s.”可知，Martha Argerich在她的职业生涯中注重的是和其他音乐家的合作。故选B。 22. 细节理解题。根据Alfred Brendel部分中“Brendel was self-taught and learned his love of piano at an early age.”可知，Brendel自学音乐。故选C。 23. 细节理解题。根据Arthur Rubinstein部分中“His career began in the early 20th century when he began to come into contact with some of the world’s most important composers, such as Maurice Ravel, Paul Dukas, and Jacques Thibaud.”可知，Rubinstein的职业生涯始于20世纪初，当时他开始接触到一些世界上最有影响力的作曲家。故选D。 24~27. 【文章大意】本文主要向读者介绍了莫扎特的生平事迹。 24. 通读全文可知，本文主要向读者介绍了伟大的作曲家莫扎特的生平事迹。故选C。 25. 根据第二段“Mozart continued traveling around Europe with his father, who was his teacher in everything.”可知，在莫扎特小的时候，他的父亲教了他很多音乐知识。故选A。 26. 根据第一段“When Mozart was three years old, he learned to play the harpsichord”可知，莫扎特三岁时就学会了弹奏大键琴，故选D。 27. 根据最后一段“He worked as a teacher and pianist, but he did not make much money...so poor that there was not enough money for him to have a proper grave.

has frequently played a major role in scientific discovery.(运气在科学发现中经常扮演重要角色)”构成因果关系,符合语境。故选B。 37. 过渡句。根据空上句“You may think a scientist should be smart, skilled in mathematics, and precise.(你可能认为科学家应该聪明,擅长数学,而且细致)”和空下句“Being a scientist is 90% failure and 10% success.(作为一个科学家,失败占90%,成功占10%)”再结合选项可知,G项(然而,一个优秀的科学家应该具备的一个重要品质是愿意失败)承上启下,对空上句进行语意上的转折,说明科学家也会失败,同时引出下文,进一步说明科学家失败是常事,符合语境。G项中的“fail”和下句中的“failure”对应。故选G。 38. 细节句。空上句“Challenge yourself to come up with one idea related to your project a day.”建议要努力想出各种点子。分析选项可知,F项(虽然其中一些会是不好的,但许多可能会促使一个新的实验或学说产生)符合本段主要内容,且与空上句衔接紧密,符合语境。故选F。 39. 细节句。根据主旨句“Practice your writing skills.(练习你的写作技巧)”可知,D项(创造一个适合自己的写作过程,并坚持下去)符合语境,是对练习写作技能的具体说明,“writing”是关键词。故选D。 40. 主旨句。根据文章结构及其他段的主旨句位置可推知设空处为本段主旨句。根据本段中的“itˈs vital to strike a balance between professional work and personal downtime(使专业工作和个人休息达到平衡很重要)”和“Donˈt let yourself get burnt out.(别把自己累垮)”可知本段主要讨论要平衡工作和休息。A项(努力工作和休息之间要保持平衡)符合本段主旨。故选A。 41~55. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。历史上有很多女性取得了杰出的成就，可是她们却默默无闻。物理学家Jess Wade想通过自己的努力来改变这一现状。

56. 考查定语从句，先行词为“reasons”，表示“原因”，空格处引导词在从句中作原因状语，故填“why”，符合“reason作先行词，从句表原因时用why引导”的语法规则。 57. 考查谓语动词时态，根据时间状语“several thousand years ago”（几千年前），可知此处需用一般过去时，“carve”的过去式为“carved”，故填“carved”。 58. 考查名词单复数，“many different”后接可数名词复数，“variety”的复数形式为“varieties”（以辅音+y结尾，变y为i加-es），“varieties of”表示“各种各样的”，故填“varieties”。 59. 考查让步状语从句，“no matter + 疑问词”引导让步状语从句，结合句意“无论中国人住在哪里”，疑问词用“where”，故填“where”。 60. 考查冠词，“means”为可数名词（单复数同形），此处泛指“一种重要的媒介”，需用不定冠词；“important”以元音音素开头，故填“an”。 61. 考查被动语态，先行词“works”（作品）与动词“write”为动宾关系，需用被动语态；结合时间状语“in ancient times”，用一般过去时的被动语态“were written”，故填“were written”。

pianists ever to play. Argerich preferred being on stage with others instead of performing solo; therefore, she has been performing in a concerto format since the 1980s. Argerich was not one for the spotlight, as she often avoided public appearances such as interviews; however, her great talent was all the publicity she needed, standing out during concertos and sonatas. Leif Ove Andsnes Known for his appealing performances of Edvard Grieg’s works, Andsnes has won praise for his performances at some of the world’s most famous concert halls. Andsnes has certainly made his mark in Norway, as he is the founding director of Norway’s Rosendal Chamber Music Festival. Because of his unique voice and interesting approach, he was praised by The New York Times as a “pianist of authoritative elegance, power, and insight.” Alfred Brentel Known for his beautiful interpretations of Beethoven, Haydn, Schubert and Mozart, Alfred Brentel was considered one of the greats. He played in various concertos throughout his career and became known for his interpretive coldness in creating these works. Brentel was considered one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century, as he made his mark in the classical music industry. Brentel was self-taught and learned his love of piano at an early age. Arthur Rubinstein Arthur Rubinstein was certainly one of the greats. His career began in the early 20th century when he began to come into contact with some of the world’s most important composers, such as Maurice Ravel, Paul Dukas, and Jacques Thibaud. He made various trips worldwide and visited nearly every continent, where crowds met him with great praise and encouragement. 21.What does the female pianist focus on in her career? A. Skills in hosting concertos and sonatas. B. Cooperation with other musicians. C. Close relationships with the media. D. Unique ways to interpret music. 22.Who learned music by himself or herself? A. Martha Argerich. B. Leif Ove Andsnes. C. Alfred Brentel. D. Arthur Rubinstein. 23.How is Arthur Rubinstein different from the other pianists? A. He was the director of a Norwegian festival. B. He made a difference in classical music. C. He was the best musician of the 20th century. D. He got in touch with some famous composers. B Mozart was one of the greatest composers who ever lived. He was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. Even when he was very young, Mozart loved music. His father, who was the leader of an orchestra, was very happy that his son was so interested in music. When Mozart was three years old, he learned to play the harpsichord, which is a kind of piano. Mozart began to compose music at the age of five, and his father took him to play in front of the kings and queens of Europe. At one concert, one of the violinists was missing from the orchestra. Mozart picked up a violin and played the music without a mistake. Mozartˈs father and the other players in the orchestra were surprised. Mozart had never been taught to play the violin! Mozart continued traveling around Europe with his father, who was his teacher in everything. He composed many pieces for the piano, the violin, and later for full orchestra. Mozart could write down a piece of music even if he had heard it only once. One day, he went to hear a group of people singing in a big church in Rome. The song was very special. The church leader said that people could sing the song only once a year, and only in his church. No one else was allowed to have the music. Mozart listened to the song. Although it was very difficult and long, Mozart went back home and wrote down the whole piece from memory. The head of the church heard about this, and instead of being angry with Mozart, he gave him a prize. When Mozart grew up, people were not so interested in him. He worked as a teacher and pianist, but he did not make much money. In 1791, at the age of 35, he died. He was so poor that there was not enough money for him to have a proper grave. No one knows where he is buried. 24.The story is mainly about______． A.

Peng was born in 1925 into a family of heroes.After the founding of the Peopleˈs Republic of China,Peng was selected to study chemical machinery (机械) in the Soviet Union.In 1956,when he was about to graduate,he faced a turning point in his life.At that time,the central government decided to select a group of outstanding students studying abroad to transfer to the atomic energy major.Peng willingly agreed,marking the beginning of his lifelong commitment to developing Chinaˈs nuclear power.  In 1958,China started to independently develop its own nuclear submarines,and Peng was appointed to take charge of the research and design of the nuclear propulsion system.In the 1980s,China decided to build a commercial nuclear power plant.Appointed as the director-in-chief,Peng once again devoted himself to its preparation and construction. During his career,Peng held a variety of high-ranking titles.In 1994,he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering,one of the top academic bodies in China. Peng passed away in Beijing on March 22,2021 at the age of 96.The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee awarded the title “Role Model of the Times” to Peng for his contributions. 28.What does the author imply in the first paragraph?

China Lost a Famous Nuclear Expert D. A Nuclear Hero Devoted Himself to Helping His Country D Science is always seen as hard core and hard to understand. But could you imagine hundreds of people being attracted by the cover of a science magazine? The achievement was completed after Wang Yixi and his team made the cover of an October issue of Structure, a US-based Cell Press journal. The cover shows a Chinese ink painting that vividly shows the process in which a special enzyme (酶) involved in the biosynthesis (生物合成) of an important organic compound is activated—the latest breakthrough by a Chinese scientific research team. Another one of his popular works that carries distinctive Chinese elements is a composite image, describing a scientist as the folk goddess Nyuwa, carrying her newly discovered compound to fill a crack in the sky. While studying chemistry at university, Wang Yixi often came across an experimental preparation process that he had to explain, but the amount of text was too large and abstract. He had been interested in drawing, and related software like Photoshop, so he decided to turn his graphics into fine art. He went on to study 3D graphics software in order to better display the microscopic structures in his field and improve the presentation of his papers. It didnˈt take long before his classmates and professors noticed his talents and asked him to help them with their papers. By word of mouth, more people beat a path to Wangˈs door and were willing to pay for his service. Over the past four years, Wang and his team have come up with more than 10,000 visual works for academic papers across a variety of fields, many of which have made their way to the worldˈs top academic journals, including Nature, Science and Cell. "Every scientific paper is innovative, and graphics are an essential part of scientific papers," Wang says, adding that what he tries to achieve is an explanation of models or methods, to showcase experimental results, visually process data or compare differences among experiments. 32.What play a special role in Wangˈs works?（） A. Fairy tales. B. Chinese elements. C. Rich colors. D. Complex structures. 33.What can we learn about Wang Yixi from paragraph 3?（） A. He preferred painting to chemistry. B. He developed useful mapping software. C. He had an active mind to solve problems. D. He had trouble conducting his experiment. 34.How does Wang make abstract papers easily understood?（） A. By visualizing them vividly. B. By showing them accurately. C. By explaining them in detail. D. By constructing them uniquely. 35.Which is the best title for the text?（） A. The power of art B. Dilemmas of science C. Mysteries of chemistry D. Inspiration from science 四、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分。 Maybe youˈre a young scientist wanting to make an influence on the world, or a more seasoned veteran of scientific study who is curious about how to get better at your job. Either way, there are several key steps to develop your ability to make positive contributions to the world. Experiment with new ideas. An important part of scientific discovery is the result of hard work and luck. Luck has frequently played a large role in scientific discovery.       (36)     You never know when experimentation and luck will collide (碰撞) to create an important discovery. Be open to failure. You may think a scientist should be smart, skilled in mathematics, and precise.      (37)      Being a scientist is 90% failure and 10% success. Take charge of your ideas. Challenge yourself to come up with one idea related to your project a day.      (38)      As a scientist in a competitive field, you need to create your own opportunities by owning your ideas and working hard to develop them further. Practise your writing skills.          (39)      Try to do a little writing every day, and put your ideas or thoughts down on the page so you get into the habit of recording your ideas, which could later end up in a published paper or in a lecture about your latest scientific theory.       (40)    ​Though hard work is necessary for you to be a good scientist, itˈs important to strike a balance between professional work and personal downtime. Donˈt let yourself get burnt out. A. Keep a balance between hard work and rest. B. So, donˈt be afraid to play around with new ideas. C. You will do better work if you work with someone else. D. Create a writing process that suits you and stick to it. E. You should be open to the solutions made by others in the field. F. Though some of them will be bad, many could lead to a new experiment or theory. G. However, an important quality a good scientist should have is a willingness to fail. 五、完形填空：本大题共15小题，每题1分，满分15分。 Throughout history, female scientists, engineers and mathematicians have changed the world.

From their research, they discovered and tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments. One medical text from the fourth century suggested      (62)      (use) the extract from sweet wormwood to treat a fever. Tuˈs team tested a collection of dried wormwood leaves but found no effect. They then tried boiling fresh wormwood, and using the liquid      (63)      (obtain) from this to treat malaria, but this did not work either. She then concluded that boiling the sweet wormwood      (64)      (apparent) destroyed its medical properties. After failing more than 190 times, the team finally succeeded in 1971. Tu Youyou and her team members even insisted on testing the medicine on      (65)      (they) to make sure that it was safe.

If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He was stricken with polio(　　小儿麻痹) as a child, and so he has braces on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches. To see him walk across the stage one step at a time, painfully and slowly, is an awesome(令人敬畏的) sight. Then he sits down, slowly, puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps on his legs, tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and proceeds to play. By now, the audience is used to this practice. They remain silent while he undoes the clasps on his legs. They wait until he is ready to play. But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it snap　　—it went off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that sound meant. People who were there that night thought to themselves: 　　“We figured that he would have to get up, put on the clasps again, pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage—to either find another violin or else find another string for this one. ” But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestra began, and he played from where he had left off. And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before. Anyone knows it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night, he was seen modulating, changing, and recomposing the piece in his head. He was detuning the strings to get new sounds they had never made before. 注意: 续写词数应为150个左右。 　　When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. ____________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ 　　He has prepared all his life to make music on a violin of four strings. ______ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ 第1页，共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
