B I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes. At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind. Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory. Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how may of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about 41. Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again? A. She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields. B. She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination. C. She is not good at telling stories of the kind. D. She finds space research more important. 42. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute the author’s failures to ________. A. the very fact that she is a woman B. her involvement in gender politics C. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist D. the burden she bears in a male-dominated society 43. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research? A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science. B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle. C People’s stereotyped attitude toward female scientists. D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurtured. 44. Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class? A. Female students no longer have to bother about gender issues. B. Her students’ performance has brought back her confidence. C. Her female students can do just as well as male students. D. More female students are pursuing science than before. 45. What does the image the author presents to her students suggest? A. Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation. B. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success. C. Women can balance a career in science and having a family. D. Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career. C Libraries are my world. I’ve been a patron (老主顾) all my life, and for the past nine years I’ve worked at multiple libraries and archives (档案馆) in and around Detroit. The library as an institution has many roles, but as our country struggles through an economic crisis, I have watched the library where I work evolve into a career and business center, a community gathering place and a bastion (堡垒) of hope. In the spring of 2007, I got a library internship at the Southfield Public Library (SPL), just north of Detroit. Summers at SPL were usually slow, but that year, we experienced a library that was as busy as science-fair project week, midterms or tax season. Yet patrons weren’t looking for Mosby’s Nursing Drug Reference or tax return forms. They were coming for information on growing their small business. I interpreted people’s interest in our business collection as the first step to pursuing their dreams, but these patrons were not motivated by dreams. They were responding to reality, and they were looking for Plan B. Things worsened in 2008, and in 2009 the economic crisis continues to plague (折磨) Michigan. Last year, we put up a display with a variety of job resources that we restocked (补充货源) every hour. Each night when the library closed, the display was bare. While we normally keep displays up for a week, we kept the job resources display up for months. Then there’s the tightening credit market. People see the writing on the wall and they want to get educated. They can’t afford a financial adviser, but checking books out is free. Some of the most popular titles now are Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and Suze Orman’s 2009 Action Plan. The economic downturn affects us all. I have had to work long hours and don’t get to see much of my boyfriend or experience any kind of social life lately, but I am thankful to be in a position where I can help people overcome this struggle. In Michigan, we haven’t lost hope. As long as there are libraries here, there will always be hope. 46. What changes has the current economic crisis brought to the library? A. It has opened its age-old archives to the general public. B. It has become a center for job and business information. C. It has evolved into a place for business transactions. D. It has been turned into a community center by the government. 47. What does the author say about the Southfield Public Library in the summer of 2007? A. It was overflowing with unusual numbers of visitors. B. It launched a science project series for teenagers. C. It added many books on business to its collection. D. It was full of people seeking information on drugs. 48. What can be inferred from people’s strong interest in the library’s business collection? A. They think it is now time to realize their dreams. B. They want to tide themselves over the crisis. C. They consider it a trend to start their own business. D. They are concerned about the worsening economy. 49. Why were there no more job resources on display by the end of the day? A. The library staff could not do the restocking quickly enough. B. People competed with each other for the jobs listed in the ads. C. People were much interested in the job resources on display. D. All the materials on display were free of charge to the jobless. 50. How did the author feel about working in the library? A. She felt contented to be in a position to provide help. B. She felt pleased to be able to give hope to the jobless. C. She felt rewarded to have gained a lot of experience. D. She felt sorry for herself to miss her normal social life. D A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common.After all,the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world,and the baby is,well, just playing…right?Perhaps,but some developmental psychologists have argued that this “play” is more like a scientific investigation than one might think. Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge, it falls in the ground—and, in the process, it belongs out important evidence about how physical objects interact; bowls of rice do not flood in mid-sit, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation and the scientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim(to learn about the natural world), overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected?). Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way—that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has. For example, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate. Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort—the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world—is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.” 51. According to some developmental psychologists, ________. A. a baby’s play is nothing more than a game. B. scientific research into babies; games is possible C. the nature of babies’ play has been thoroughly investigated D. a baby’s play is somehow similar to a scientist’s experiment 52. We learn from Paragraph 2 that ________. A. scientists and babies seem to observe the world differently B. scientists and babies often interact with each other C. babies are born with the knowledge of object support D. babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do 53. Children may learn the rules of language by ________. A. exploring the physical world B. investigating human psychology C. repeating their own experiments D. observing their parents’ behaviors 54 What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The world may be more clearly explained through children’s play. B. Studying babies’ play may lead to a better understanding of science. C. Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists. D. One’s drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows. 55. What is the author’s tone when he discusses the connection between scientists’ research and babies’ play? A Convincing. B. Confused. C. Confidence. D. Cautious. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026（下）高三年级英语学科‘策马争春’训练 一、单项选择 1. —I’m thinking of going away after Christmas for a week or so.

There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes. At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind. Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory. Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how may of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about 41. Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again? A. She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields. B. She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination. C. She is not good at telling stories of the kind. D. She finds space research more important. 42. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute the author’s failures to ________. A. the very fact that she is a woman B. her involvement in gender politics C. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist D the burden she bears in a male-dominated society 43. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research? A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science. B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle. C. People’s stereotyped attitude toward female scientists. D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurtured. 44. Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class? A. Female students no longer have to bother about gender issues. B. Her students’ performance has brought back her confidence. C. Her female students can do just as well as male students. D. More female students are pursuing science than before. 45. What does the image the author presents to her students suggest? A. Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation. B. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success. C. Women can balance a career in science and having a family. D. Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【分析】试题分析: 作者通过比较自己原来所处的年代的情况和现在的情况，告诉我们现在又越来越多的女生开始学习科学，这让作者很自豪。同时作者还给这些女生提出了自己的建议：要在科学和家庭之间取得平衡。 【41题详解】 B 细节题。根据文章第三段It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.可知她已经厌倦了这样的话题。故选B. 【42题详解】 A 推理题。根据第二段But while earning my PhD at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement --- jobs, research papers, awards --- was viewed through the lens of gender politics. So were my failures.可知在这个时候很多问题开始困扰作者，她取得的成绩，她的工作，论文，甚至是她的失败。故选A. 【43题详解】 C 细节题。根据第二段My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens of gender politics；Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus right brain, or nature versus nurture , I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind可知在做研究时，人们总是用千篇一律地从性别角度看待女科学家，而她总是会反驳。因而她总是和人们陈旧的观点作斗争。故选C. 【44题详解】 D 推理题。根据文章第四段You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children.可知现在作者班级里有很多女学生在学习科学，这让作者很自豪。因为现在学习科学的学生比以前要多了很多。故选D. 【45题详解】 C 推理题。根据文章最后一段Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.说明作者给她的学生的建议是要在学习和家庭生活之间取得平衡。故选C. 考点：考查社会现象类短文阅读 C Libraries are my world. I’ve been a patron (老主顾) all my life, and for the past nine years I’ve worked at multiple libraries and archives (档案馆) in and around Detroit. The library as an institution has many roles, but as our country struggles through an economic crisis, I have watched the library where I work evolve into a career and business center, a community gathering place and a bastion (堡垒) of hope. In the spring of 2007, I got a library internship at the Southfield Public Library (SPL), just north of Detroit. Summers at SPL were usually slow, but that year, we experienced a library that was as busy as science-fair project week, midterms or tax season. Yet patrons weren’t looking for Mosby’s Nursing Drug Reference or tax return forms. They were coming for information on growing their small business. I interpreted people’s interest in our business collection as the first step to pursuing their dreams, but these patrons were not motivated by dreams. They were responding to reality, and they were looking for Plan B. Things worsened in 2008, and in 2009 the economic crisis continues to plague (折磨) Michigan. Last year, we put up a display with a variety of job resources that we restocked (补充货源) every hour. Each night when the library closed, the display was bare. While we normally keep displays up for a week, we kept the job resources display up for months. Then there’s the tightening credit market. People see the writing on the wall and they want to get educated. They can’t afford a financial adviser, but checking books out is free. Some of the most popular titles now are Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and Suze Orman’s 2009 Action Plan. The economic downturn affects us all. I have had to work long hours and don’t get to see much of my boyfriend or experience any kind of social life lately, but I am thankful to be in a position where I can help people overcome this struggle. In Michigan, we haven’t lost hope. As long as there are libraries here, there will always be hope. 46. What changes has the current economic crisis brought to the library? A. It has opened its age-old archives to the general public. B. It has become a center for job and business information. C. It has evolved into a place for business transactions. D. It has been turned into a community center by the government. 47. What does the author say about the Southfield Public Library in the summer of 2007? A. It was overflowing with unusual numbers of visitors. B. It launched a science project series for teenagers. C. It added many books on business to its collection. D. It was full of people seeking information on drugs. 48. What can be inferred from people’s strong interest in the library’s business collection? A. They think it is now time to realize their dreams. B. They want to tide themselves over the crisis. C. They consider it a trend to start their own business. D. They are concerned about the worsening economy. 49. Why were there no more job resources on display by the end of the day? A. The library staff could not do the restocking quickly enough. B. People competed with each other for the jobs listed in the ads. C. People were much interested in the job resources on display. D. All the materials on display were free of charge to the jobless. 50. How did the author feel about working in the library? A. She felt contented to be in a position to provide help. B. She felt pleased to be able to give hope to the jobless. C. She felt rewarded to have gained a lot of experience. D. She felt sorry for herself to miss her normal social life. 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. B 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在图书馆工作，见证其在经济危机中角色的转变及自己的感受。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The library as an institution has many roles, but as our country struggles through an economic crisis, I have watched the library where I work evolve into a career and business center, a community gathering place and a bastion (堡垒) of hope.(图书馆作为一个机构，有着多种功能和角色，但在我们的国家正艰难地度过经济危机之际，我目睹了我工作的图书馆逐渐发展成为一个职业和商业中心，一个社区聚会场所和一个希望的堡垒)”可知，当前的经济危机使图书馆变成了就业和商业信息的中心。故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Summers at SPL were usually slow, but that year, we experienced a library that was as busy as science-fair project week, midterms or tax season.(SPL的夏天通常很冷清，但那一年，我们经历了一个像科技周、期中考试或报税季节一样繁忙的图书馆)”可知，作者说2007年夏天南菲尔德公共图书馆里挤满了不同寻常的访客。故选A。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I interpreted people’s interest in our business collection as the first step to pursuing their dreams, but these patrons were not motivated by dreams. They were responding to reality, and they were looking for Plan B.(我把人们对我们商业收藏的兴趣解释为他们追求梦想的第一步，但这些顾客并不是被梦想所激励。他们是在回应现实，他们在寻找B计划)”以及第四段中“Each night when the library closed, the display was bare. While we normally keep displays up for a week, we kept the job resources display up for months.(每天晚上图书馆关门时，展台都空空如也。虽然我们通常会把展品展示一周，但这次我们把求职资源展示了好几个月)”可推知，人们对图书馆商业藏书有浓厚兴趣，是因为他们想帮助自己度过危机。故选B。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Last year, we put up a display with a variety of job resources that we restocked (补充货源) every hour. Each night when the library closed, the display was bare. While we normally keep displays up for a week, we kept the job resources display up for months.(去年，我们展示了一系列求职资源，并每小时补充一次货源。每天晚上图书馆关门时，展台都空空如也。虽然我们通常会把展品展示一周，但这次我们把求职资源展示了好几个月)”可推知，到了一天结束的时候，展示的求职资源已经没有了是因为人们对展示的求职资源非常感兴趣。故选C。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I have had to work long hours and don’t get to see much of my boyfriend or experience any kind of social life lately, but I am thankful to be in a position where I can help people overcome this struggle.(我不得不长时间工作，最近很少见到我的男朋友，也没有任何社交生活，但我很高兴我能帮助人们克服这场斗争)”可推知，作者对在图书馆工作感到满足，因为她能够提供帮助。故选A。 D A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common.After all,the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world,and the baby is,well, just playing…right?Perhaps,but some developmental psychologists have argued that this “play” is more like a scientific investigation than one might think. Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge, it falls in the ground—and, in the process, it belongs out important evidence about how physical objects interact; bowls of rice do not flood in mid-sit, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation and the scientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim(to learn about the natural world), overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected?). Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way—that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has. For example, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate. Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort—the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world—is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.” 51. According to some developmental psychologists, ________. A. a baby’s play is nothing more than a game. B. scientific research into babies; games is possible C. the nature of babies’ play has been thoroughly investigated D. a baby’s play is somehow similar to a scientist’s experiment 52. We learn from Paragraph 2 that ________. A scientists and babies seem to observe the world differently B. scientists and babies often interact with each other C. babies are born with the knowledge of object support D babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do 53. Children may learn the rules of language by ________. A. exploring the physical world B. investigating human psychology C. repeating their own experiments D. observing their parents’ behaviors 54. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The world may be more clearly explained through children’s play. B. Studying babies’ play may lead to a better understanding of science. C. Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists. D. One’s drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows. 55. What is the author’s tone when he discusses the connection between scientists’ research and babies’ play? A. Convincing. B. Confused. C. Confidence. D. Cautious. 【答案】51. D 52. D 53. C 54. B 55. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了孩子的玩耍和科学家的研究有共同之处。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的but some developmental psychologists(心理学家) have argued that this “play” is more like a scientific investigation than one might think可知，心理学家觉得孩子的玩耍和科学家的研究有些相似，故选D。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world)可知，孩子也会像科学家一样收集证据，故选D。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory”可知，孩子可以通过重复自己的实验来学习语言的规律，故选C。 【54题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“Viewing childhood development as ascientific investigation throws light on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists.”可知，研究孩子可以让人们更好地了解科学，故选B。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据作者在文中的用词appear to、用may来弱化绝对性的表达及通过引用其他人的观点some psychologist suggestthat 可知，作者的语气是谨慎的。故选D。 【名师点睛】阅读理解有时理解文章中的长难句是关键，理解不了这些句子就很难理解文章的大意。下面我们分析一下这篇文章中的长句。 句子1：It is likely that babies are not born knowing this basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. 这句话使用分号连接两个并列分句，前面的分句使用It is likely that…这个句型，现在分词短语knowing…作伴随状语；后面的分句是“nor+倒装句”结构。 句意：可能婴儿不是一生下来就知道宇宙的这一基本事实，他们也没有被清楚地教过。 句子2：For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, for example, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate. 这句话使用了强调句，强调的是through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory，这部分比较长，考生可能没有注意到这个句式。主干部分中idea后面是同位语从句，from后面的what he or she has是宾语从句。 句意：例如，可能只是通过反复实验，收集证据，并最终推翻一个理论，一个婴儿就会接受其他人可以和他/她持有不同的意见和愿望这一观点。例如，和孩子不同，妈妈实际上并不喜欢德芙巧克力。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
