I'd like to give you some tips on this. First, parents should set a good example. When I was a kid, my parents hardly watch T, V at home. They loved exercising outdoors. I fell in love with doing that too. If parents lead by example, kids will be more likely to join in the fun. Second, parents should said healthy goals. Parents should provide kids with at least five different kinds of fruits and vegetables every day. Kids should be allowed to watch T, V for less than two hours daily. Also, parents should ask their kids to do physical activity for at least one hour daily. Third, parents can give children toys that encourage physical activity, like balls, kids and jump rope. When I was Young, my father often gave me balls as birthday present, and I really made good use of them. That's so much for today. Thank you for your listening. Good morning, everyone.

第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
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
Donna Strickland was awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with Arthur Ashkin and Gérard Mourou. It’s the first time in 55 years that a woman has won this famous prize,but why has it taken so long? We look at five other pioneering female physicists—past and present—who actually deserve the prize.
Jocelyn Bell Burnell
Perhaps the most famous snub (冷落):then-student Bell discovered the first radio pulsars (射电脉冲星)in 1967,when she was a PhD student at University of Cambridge. The Nobel Prize that recognized this landmark discovery in 1974,however,went to her male supervisor,Antony Hewish. Recently awarded a £2.3m Breakthrough Prize,which she gave away to help under-represented students,she joked to The Guardian,“I feel I’ve done very well out of not getting a Nobel Prize.”
Lene Hau
Hau is best known for leading the research team at Harvard University in 1999 that managed to slow a beam of light,before managing to stop it completely in 2001. Often topping Nobel Prize prediction lists,could 2019 be Hau’s year?
Vera Rubin
Rubin discovered dark matter in the 1980s,opening up a new field of astronomy. She died in 2016,without recognition from the committee.
Chien-Shiung Wu
Wu’s “Wu experiment” helped disprove the “law of conservation of parity (宇称守恒定律)”. Her experimental work was helpful but never honoured,and instead,her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize for their theoretical work behind the study.
Lise Meitner
Meitner led groundbreaking work on the discovery of nuclear fission. However,the discovery was acknowledged by the 1944 Nobel Prize in Chemistry,which was won by her male co-leader,Otto Hahn.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了五位先驱女物理学家,她们在科学研究方面做出了巨大贡献,但由于种种原因而未能获得诺贝尔奖。
21.When was the discovery of radio pulsars recognized by the Nobel committee?
A.In 1944. B.In 1967.
C.In 1974. D.In 1980.
C [细节理解题。根据Jocelyn Bell Burnell中“The Nobel Prize that recognized this landmark discovery in 1974... ”可知,第一个射电脉冲星在1967年被发现,该项成果被授予诺贝尔奖是在1974年,故选C。]
22.Which woman is most likely to win a Nobel Prize later according to the text?
A.Donna Strickland.
B.Jocelyn Bell Burnell.
C.Lene Hau.
D.Vera Rubin.
C [推理判断题。根据Lene Hau中“Often topping Nobel Prize prediction lists... ”可知,Lene Hau经常被列于诺贝尔奖预测名单榜首,她最有可能之后获诺贝尔奖,故选C。]
23.What do we know about the five females?
A.The five female scientists did greatly in chemistry.
B.Vera Rubin had opened up a new field in geometry.
C.Lise Meitner’s teacher won a Nobel Prize for her work.
D.All their findings haven’t been recognized by the Nobel committee.
D [推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,文中介绍的5位女科学家都应该获得诺贝尔奖,但由于各种原因未能获奖,故选D。]
B
Jerome Karle and Isabella Lugoski met in their first physical chemistry class at the University of Michigan in 1940. Jerome Karle was in his first year of doctoral work,Isabella Lugoski was in her last year as an undergraduate (大学本科生),and they were laboratory partners. However,they didn’t get along well at first.
Isabella Lugoski looked back on the past,“I walked into the physical chemistry laboratory and there was a young man in the desk next to mine with his equipment all set up running his experiment. I don’t think I was very polite about my question. I asked him how he got there early and had everything all set up. He didn’t like that. So we didn’t talk to each other for a while.”
Their relationship got going as they competed for the top grade in that course and they started to build connection because both of them were interested in chemistry. They married in 1942. By 1946,both of the Karles had earned doctorates in physical chemistry,and,after a period of time at the University of Chicago working on the Manhattan Project,they moved to Washington D.C. to join the US Naval Research Laboratory.
Each specialized in a different aspect of X-ray crystallography (晶体学):Jerome focused on developing equations (方程式)that could determine how atoms (原子)were arranged inside complex molecules,while Isabella ran practical experiments to test how well the equations worked. Working together,they created what is now called the direct method for determining molecular structures (分子结构),which has allowed scientists to effectively study and copy complex organic molecules to continue further study.
Jerome Karle was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1985. Although he was disappointed that the Nobel committee had ignored Isabella’s contribution to that work,she was unfazed. At that point,she had already won more awards and prize money for her experimental work than he had.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jerome Karle和Isabella Lugoski这两位在化学领域取得卓越成就的化学家的故事。
24.What did Isabella Lugoski do when she first met Jerome Karle?
A.She blamed him for his being late.
B.She set up all his equipment for him.
C.She asked him a question impolitely.
D.She observed his experiment silently.
C [细节理解题。根据第二段中“I don’t think I was very polite about my question. I asked him how he got there early and had everything all set up.”可知Isabella Lugoski第一次见到Jerome Karle时她不礼貌地问了他一个问题。]
25.What made Jerome Karle and Isabella Lugoski become connected?
A.Their common interest in chemistry.
B.Their wonderful marriage since 1940.
C.Their pleasant first talk in a laboratory.
D.Their successful cooperation in courses.
A [细节理解题。根据第三段中“... they started to build connection because both of them were interested in chemistry.”可知,对化学的共同兴趣让Jerome Karle和Isabella Lugoski建立了关系。]
26.What is Paragraph 4 mainly intended to show?
A.The Karles’ encouraging further study.
B.The Karles’ good teamwork in science.
C.How the Karles worked with others.
D.Why the Karles won the Nobel Prize.
B [段落大意题。根据第四段内容,尤其是第四段第一句可知,第四段主要展示夫妇俩在科学上的良好团队合作。]
27.Which of the following best explains “unfazed” underlined in the last paragraph?
A.Generous. B.Touched.
C.Shocked. D.Calm.
D [词义猜测题。根据“Although he was disappointed that the Nobel committee had ignored Isabella’s contribution to that work... ”可知,画线词所在句与前半句是转折关系,因此推断Isabella尽管被忽视了贡献,但是她很平静。故画线单词意思是“平静的,冷静的”。]
C
Scientists may have found a way to reduce shortage of type O blood. Type O is the kind of blood that hospitals most often need. What the researchers are testing is an easier way to make type O blood out of other kinds of blood.
There are four main kinds of blood. Most people born with one of these four:Type A,Type B,Type AB or Type O. Type O can be safely given to anyone. So it is commonly used when a person is injured or sick and has to have blood.
The differences among blood types are linked to whether or not red blood cells contain certain kinds of sugar molecules (分子). These molecules are found on the surface of the cells. They are known as antigens (抗原). These antigens are found with type A,B and AB blood but not with type O.
More than twenty-five years ago,scientists found that the antigens could be removed to create what they called universal-type cells. They could be removed with chemicals called enzymes (酶). But large amounts of enzymes were required to make the change.
Doctor Henrik Clausen of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark led the study. The next step,he says,is to complete safety tests. The team is working with the American company ZymeQuest to test the new method. If it meets safety requirements and is not too costly,it could become a widely used life-saving tool to increase the supply of universal blood.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了目前科学家正在测试的一种新的O型血的制造方法,这一方法可以解决医院和血库中O型血的匮乏问题。
28.How do scientists deal with the problem of lacking type O blood?
A.Hope more people to donate type O blood.
B.Make the most of the present type O blood.
C.Develop new ways of using type O blood.
D.Make type O blood out of other kinds of blood.
D [细节理解题。根据第一段中“What the researchers are testing is an easier way to make type O blood out of other kinds of blood.”可知,研究人员正在测试的是一种更容易的方法,从其他类型的血液中制造O型血液。故选D项。]
29.What make (s) people have different kinds of blood?
A.Sugar molecules in red blood cells.
B.People’s different living conditions.
C.People’s various immune systems.
D.The variety of people’s cells and genes.
A [细节理解题。根据第三段中“The differences among blood types... kinds of sugar molecules (分子).”可知,血型之间的差异与红细胞是否含有某些类型的糖分子有关。故选A项。]
30.What can we infer from the text?
A.Type O blood can be safely given to anyone.
B.Antigens could easily be removed to create universal blood.
C.A Danish company wanted to involve itself in studying blood.
D.The new method is not safe enough to be put into use in hospitals now.
D [推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The next step,he says... increase the supply of universal blood.”可知,新的方法还没有完成安全测试,由于安全性还不确定,还没有投入使用。故选D项。]
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.Four different kinds of blood
B.A new way to make type O blood
C.The latest research on blood type
D.Find the proper type of blood
B [标题归纳题。根据“What the researchers are testing is an easier way to make type O blood out of other kinds of blood.”可知,本文主要介绍的是一种新的制造O型血的方法,故选B项。]

3-D printing is a recent technological development that has started making its way into the marketplace. It is a way of making 3-D objects from computer models. 3-D printing works by adding together layers of material. This pattern is repeated until the layers form a shape for almost any purpose. The almost unlimited possibility of 3-D printing is quickly leading to a revolution in how things are made and produced. As with most technology,3-D printing may help to create things that could benefit humans. However,it could also be used to create things that could harm other people.
One of the promising aspects of 3-D printing is that it may help doctors treat patients in need. Currently 3-D printing is being used to create prostheses (假体) that help replace missing noses and eyeballs,thus greatly cutting down on the usual wait time for a new prosthesis. Dentists are also using 3-D printers to create custom toothbrushes for patients’ teeth. The toothbrush fits a person’s teeth well,which means that he or she gets a much cleaner mouth than with regular toothbrushes. Many scientists see the potential for 3-D printing to create replacement organs for people who need organ transplants. This would save lives as it removes the need for such patients to wait for an organ donation (捐献).
Although many people believe 3-D printing is a positive technology that could help humans,it may also have the opposite effect. There is a recent controversy (争议)about the ability of 3-D printing to produce arms such as guns. Recently,one organization announced the plans to produce a 3-D plastic gun. Anyone with the proper technology and with the determination to make a gun could potentially do so. Will the future of 3-D printing provide hope or danger for humans?

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。
Franklin’s experiment:How much is true?
Benjamin Franklin’s famous lightning experiment has introduced generations of children to science. 36
The well-known story is that Franklin flew a kite during a storm in 1752. At that time,there was much interest in electricity. People wanted to know if lightning was really produced by electricity. 37 He raised the kite with a piece of string tied to it. A metal key was attached to the string. A flash of lightning hit the kite,and electricity was conducted through the string to the key. 38 This,he said,proved that lightning was a form of electricity.
For years,schools have taught this story and it has inspired us and taught us that scientific experiments are important to establish the truth and to contribute towards later scientific discoveries and inventions.
However,neither the story nor the details of the experiment are entirely true. Although it has been proved that Franklin’s experiment took place,more than one scientist has questioned what really happened. 39 But scientists all agree that if Franklin had actually touched the key,he would certainly have died from the electric shock.
Scientists often question accepted ideas because they want to establish the facts. Some have even questioned the story about the apple that fell on Newton’s head and led him to come up with his theory of gravity.
40 But in science,facts should be proved by experiments and research,and we should not always believe everything we read or hear—even if it is a great story.
A.Franklin was one of them.
B.The details about the string and the key are true.
C.It’s true that many discoveries start with an experiment.
D.Admittedly,fiction is often more interesting than the truth.
E.Franklin then touched the key with his finger and got an electric shock.
F.However,new research suggests that the story may be fiction instead of fact.
G.This experiment proves beyond any doubt that lightning is an electric phenomenon.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了富兰克林的实验真实性。因为在科学中,事实应该通过实验和研究来证明,不应该依据一个伟大的故事。
36.F [由文章标题“富兰克林的实验:有多少是真的?”和第四段前两句“然而,这个故事和实验的细节都不是完全真实的。尽管富兰克林的实验已经被证明发生过,但不止一位科学家质疑到底发生了什么。”可知,富兰克林著名的闪电实验虽让孩子们认识到了科学,但这个故事可能是假的,不是真的。故F项(然而,新的研究表明,这个故事可能是虚构的,而不是事实。)切题。]
37.A [由上两句“那时,人们对电很感兴趣。人们想知道闪电是否真的是由电产生的。”和后面三句“他放飞了一个风筝,用一根绳子绑着它。一把金属钥匙系在绳子上。一道闪电击中了风筝,电通过绳子传导到了钥匙上。”可知,富兰克林开展了闪电实验,说明他对电很感兴趣,即他也是对电很感兴趣的人们中的一员。A项(富兰克林就是其中之一。)切题。]
38.E [由上两句“一把金属钥匙系在绳子上。一道闪电击中了风筝,电通过绳子传导到了钥匙上。”和下一句 “他说,这证明了闪电是电的一种形式。”可推断出,富兰克林通过自己触电来证明电的存在。E项(富兰克林接着用手指碰了一下钥匙,被电击了。)切题。]
39.B [由上两句“然而,这个故事和实验的细节都不是完全真实的。尽管富兰克林的实验已经被证明发生过,但不止一位科学家质疑到底发生了什么。”可知,此处承接上文,富兰克林的实验虽不是完全真实的,但实验发生过,由此可得出有关绳子和钥匙的细节是真的。B项(关于绳子和钥匙的细节是真的。)切题。]
40.D [由下一句“但是在科学中,事实应该通过实验和研究来证明,我们不应该总是相信我们所读或听到的一切,即使它是一个伟大的故事。”可知,D项(诚然,虚构的事往往比事实更有趣。)切题,空处与下句是转折关系。]

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述以屠呦呦和史蒂芬霍金为例,讲述了科学家改变了我们的生活,影响了世界。
56.解析: to 考查介词。根据短语“make a difference to... ”意为“对……产生影响”可知介词需使用to,故填to。
57.解析: who 考查定语从句。根据句子结构分析可知,设空处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句。先行词为Tu Youyou,在从句中作主语指人,因此需使用关系代词who。故填who。
58.解析: to receive 考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构分析可知,定语从句的谓语是has become,receive在从句中是非谓语作后置定语,修饰的名词为scientist,因scientist被序数词修饰,所以需使用动词不定式的主动式。故填to receive。
59.解析: deadliest 考查形容词的最高级。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词diseases,需使用形容词“deadly”,根据句意及“in human history”可知,此处是一定范围内的最致命的疾病,需使用形容词的最高级形式。故填deadliest。
60.解析: an 考查冠词。根据“agricultural scientist and educator”可知,此处泛指“一位农业科学家和教育家”,agricultural的发音以元音音素开头,需使用不定冠词an。故填an。
61.解析: was awarded 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语In 2019可知,动作发生在过去,需使用一般过去时。因主语he与动词award是被动关系,则需使用一般过去时的被动语态且主语为第三人数单数。故填was awarded。
62.解析: impacts 考查名词的单复数。此处为形容词significant修饰的名词,短语一般为make an impact或者make impacts,故填impacts。
63.解析: major 考查词性转换。此处需使用形容词major作定语来修饰名词。故填major。
64.解析: delivered 考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构分析可知,argued为谓语,deliver为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰名词短语The public lecture,因lecture与deliver是被动关系,所以应使用过去分词的形式。故填delivered。
65.解析: Obviously 考查词性转换。根据句子结构分析可知,此处为副词作状语修饰后面的句子。首字母大写,Obviously意为“显然地”。故填Obviously。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Growing up,we didn’t have much money. Actually,we had very little. We lived in a small house with holes in the floor. We wore old clothes and had little food. With three little mouths to feed,my daddy worked as a gatekeeper in a middle school and then farmed our own small field until dark. Daddy provided the best he could for us and Mama made our clothes on her old sewing machine. We could have easily applied for welfare,but my parents wouldn’t think of it. Our family was full of love and proud of hard work.
Then I was in the third grade,in Mrs Harper’s class. One day,Mrs Harper brought a huge box of toys to school to give to “poor” children. Everyone was invited to bring some of his or her own toys from home to put in the box. Needless to say. I had hardly any toys of my own to offer.
My eyes got big the next day when I looked into that box. It was like a dream world to me—so many colourful toys! Clearly,Mrs Harper saw the curious look on my face,and although I never asked with a smile,she let me pick out two toys for myself from the box. I was so thankful and thought that I was the luckiest girl in the whole world!
When I got home. I couldn’t wait to show Mama what I brought from the school. She admired the toys and asked where I got them. I told her about the box for the poor children and that Mrs Harper had let me pick two toys from the box! Mama thought for a few seconds and said in a very sweet way,“No... no. You can’t keep these two toys.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
Mama explained to me that those toys were for “poor” children. __________

[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
Mama explained to me that those toys were for “poor” children. She took me by the hand and showed me around our house and said that we had a house to live in and that we had enough to eat. Above all,we had a family and we loved each other. We were not poor at all. But there were many children who didn’t. They were the people who really needed the toys. Eventually she asked me to take the two toys back to school and put them in Mrs Harper’s box.
Paragraph 2:
Mrs Harper said she understood what Mama meant. And after school,she took me and some of my classmates to the street to hand out those toys. When I saw the smiles on the faces of those homeless children,I began to understand what Mama had told me. Mama was long gone. But her words have stayed with me all the time.
