During the spring of my junior year,my class watched a documentary called “The Invisible Children.” It was about three college students who take a trip to Africa and document their experience.At first the film was slightly humorous.However,once the group arrived in northern Uganda,the mood changed.They learned what the consequences of a 23-year war had been for thousands of children.Some had lost family and friends,while others were caught by the opposing force and became child soldiers. Before long,I was sobbing.I couldn’t believe these things were happening,yet at the same time I knew they were.I just hadn’t been paying attention,for in the past 17 years,I was blessedly protected.When the movie ended,I couldn’t get it out of my head.For the next week,I was not myself.Every bite of food I took made me think of Grace,the 15-year-old who had little to eat.When I went to bed,I pictured Sunday,the 14-year-old boy sleeping on a straw mat on the ground in a camp.My whole world shifted. Since that day,I haven’t been able to picture my future in a way that doesn’t involve going to Africa and doing what I can to help.Ultimately,this is why I decided to major in engineering.With an engineering degree,my potential for change will be limitless.I will build wells and schools,and design irrigation systems.Engineering is tough,but I know—in what Yeats called “my deep heart’s call”—that this is what I’m supposed to do with my life. 1.How did the author think of a decisive moment at first? A.It was impossible. B.It was unforgettable. C.It was common. D.It was powerful. 2.How does the movie influence the author? A.It amused him. B.It changed his perspectives of life. C.It made him unsure of himself. D.It made him lose the desire to eat or sleep. 3.Why does the author choose to study engineering? A.To achieve his goal. B.To be well acknowledged. C.To challenge himself. D.To realize his childhood dream. 4.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A.Celebrity. B.Health. C.Education. D.Science. B (2025广东深圳高二上期中) My phone rang after I boarded a plane.It was my PhD adviser calling to tell me there were identified flaws in the paper I had just published in Nature.My stomach dropped as he told me the authors of the critique(评论) were demanding a retraction(撤回).That day I spent the 16-hour flight processing a mix of emotions—disbelief,embarrassment,frustration. After the plane landed,I immediately read the critique myself,which was harsh and thorough,pointing out several fundamental flaws in our methods and in the basic data.The fallout was swift and intense.I received a flood of emails and messages.Some were from supportive colleagues,but many were harshly critical of my work.I was depressed,wondering what this would mean for my career. I wrote a response,correcting the apparent errors in the data set.When it became clear that the retraction was unavoidable,I formally offered my resignation to my department head.He didn’t accept it,saying a resignation wasn’t needed considering the errors in the paper were honest mistakes. The experience helped me grow as a scientist.I know it is better to be open and accountable,even if it means admitting mistakes.I can’t expect myself to know everything as a scientist and my work will be stronger if I seek out diverse expertise and opinions. The reality is that retractions are a necessary part of the scientific process—and one that shouldn’t be viewed only through a negative lens.Retractions can also be an opportunity to learn and improve.Honest mistakes happen,and researchers should be encouraged,not punished,for doing the right thing and retracting flawed work. 5.What happened to the author before the plane took off? A.He was filled with a mix of negative emotions. B.His career was influenced by the errors in his paper. C.His published paper was retracted because of some flaws. D.He was informed some errors were found in his published paper. 6.What does the underlined word “fallout” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Consequence. B.Conflict. C.Solution. D.Shame. 7.Why was the author’s resignation refused? A.He admitted the mistakes frankly. B.He treated the mistakes seriously. C.He made the mistakes unintentionally. D.He corrected the mistakes carefully. 8.Which words can best describe the author? A.Bold and strict. B.Humble and responsible. C.Open and critical. D.Ambitious and hardworking. 知识积累卡 一、重点单词 1.decisive adj.　　　　　  2.blessedly adv.　　　　　　  3.flaw n.　　　　　  4.harsh adj.　　　　　  5.thorough adj.　　　　　  6.swift adj.　　　　　  7.resignation n.　　　　　  二、熟词生义 1.document　本文义:v.　　　　　　　其他义:n.　　　　　　  2.process　本文义:v.　　　　　　　其他义:n.　　　　　　  三、词块速记 1.the opposing force 　　　　　　  2.major in engineering 　　　　　　　　  3.board a plane 　　　　　  4.a flood of emails and messages 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  四、经典句式背诵 My stomach dropped as he told me the authors of the critique(评论) were demanding a retraction(撤回).(读后续写之心理描写) 句意:    参考答案 Ⅰ.1.virtues　2.wages　3.loan　4.mature　5.integrity 6.ambulance　7.subtle　8.licence　9.selfish　10.minimum Ⅱ.1.suitable　2.commitment　3.approval　4.to climb　5.was pulled　6.for　7.a Ⅲ.1.No doubt　2.in charge of arranging all the activities 3.you want to be treated　4.found it impossible to get around 5.as if we were her children Ⅳ.Activity 1 1.Lisa took on the responsibility of being in charge of the class garden project.　2.made a strong commitment to make it beautiful　3.A fierce storm struck　4.Instantly,the garden was in a mess.　5.were in low spirits　6.didn’t let them lose hope　7.gathered everyone together　8.approved with big smiles;as if she were a little hero　9.can’t stop her from growing Activity 2 Lisa took on the responsibility of being in charge of the class garden project.She made a strong commitment to make it beautiful.But a fierce storm struck without warning.Instantly,the garden was in a mess.The classmates were in low spirits,feeling as though all their hard work had come to nothing.However,Lisa didn’t let them lose hope.She gathered everyone together to replant the damaged ones.When the teachers saw the rebuilt garden,they approved with big smiles,looking at Lisa as if she were a little hero.Through this,Lisa learned that setbacks can’t stop her from growing. Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在观看了纪录片《看不见的孩子》后,人生观被改变,决定主修工程学来改变世界。 1.A　细节理解题。根据第一段中“In movies and books,people often describe a decisive moment when they figure out who they are.However,I never thought it actually happened in real life.I never expected to have a ‘moment’of my own.”可知,作者最初认为这个决定性时刻是不可能的。故选A项。 2.B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“My whole world shifted.”可知,电影改变了作者的人生观。故选B项。 3.A　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Ultimately,this is why I decided to major in engineering.With an engineering degree,my potential for change will be limitless.I will build wells and schools,and design irrigation systems.Engineering is tough,but I know—in what Yeats called ‘my deep heart’s call’—that this is what I’m supposed to do with my life.”可知,作者选择工程专业是为了达到他的目标。故选A项。 4.C　推理判断题。根据文章主要讲述了作者在观看了纪录片《看不见的孩子》后,人生观被改变,决定主修工程学来改变世界,可推知,文章选自报纸的“教育”版面。故选C项。 【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者发表的研究论文被发现错误而不得不退回,但这件事也让作者明白了退回错误是科学过程中必不可少的部分,不应该消极地看待它,因为它也是一个学习和提高的机会。 5.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My phone rang after I boarded a plane.It was my PhD adviser calling to tell me there were identified flaws in the paper I had just published in Nature.”可知,在飞机起飞前,作者被告知他发表的论文中发现了一些错误。故选D项。 6.A　词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“I received a flood of emails and messages.”可知,作者下飞机后收到了大量的电子邮件和信息,由此可推测出,这篇文章被指出错误所带来的后果非常迅速而强烈。fallout意为“后果”与A项:Consequence(结果,后果)意思最接近。故选A项。 7.C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He didn’t accept it,saying a resignation wasn’t needed considering the errors in the paper were honest mistakes.”可知,部门领导认为作者没必要辞职,因为论文中的错误是无心之失,即作者不是故意犯错的。故选C项。 8.B　推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“I wrote a response,correcting the apparent errors in the data set.When it became clear that the retraction was unavoidable,I formally offered my resignation to my department head.”以及倒数第二段内容可知,作者对论文中被发现的错误及时纠正和承担责任,是非常的谦虚和负责的。故选B项。 知识积累卡 一、1.关键的　2.幸运的是　3.缺陷　4.严厉的　5.详尽的　6.迅速的　7.辞职信 二、1.记录　文件　2.处理　过程,进程 三、1.敌对力量　2.主修工程学　3.登机　4.大量的电子邮件和信息 四、当他告诉我这些评论的作者要求撤回文章时,我的心一下子沉了下去。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
