(二)阅读下面的短文,根据要求回答问题。
Throughout history scientists have risked their health and their lives in their search for the truth.
Sir Isaac Newton, the seventeenth century scientist, was very smart, but that didn't stop him from doing some pretty stupid things.In his laboratory in Cambridge he often did the strangest experiments.Once, while testing how light passes through lenses (晶状体), he put a long needle into his eye, pushed it to the back, and then moved it around just to see what would happen.Luckily, nothing long-lasting did.On another occasion he stared at the sun for as long as he
In the 1750s the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele was the first person to find a way to produce phosphorus (磷). He in fact discovered eight more chemical elements including chlorine (氯), though he didn't get any praise for them.He was a very clever scientist, but his one failing was a curious habit of tasting a little of every substance he worked with. This risky practice finally caught up with him, and in 1786 he was found dead in his laboratory surrounded by a large number of dangerous chemicals, any of which might have been responsible for his death.
could bear, to discover what effect this would have on his sight.Again he escaped suffering permanent damage, though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes recovered.
Eugene Shoemaker was a respected geologist.He spent a large part of his life studying craters on the moon, and how they were formed, and later did research into the comets of the planet Jupiter.In 1997 he and his wife were in the Australian desert where they went every year to search for places where comets might have hit the earth.While driving in the Tanami desert, normally one of the emptiest places in the world, another vehicle crashed into them and Shoemaker was killed on the spot.Some of his ashes (骨灰) were sent to the moon aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft and left there — he is the only person who has had this honor.

British chemist David Evans has become an overnight celebrity on Chinese social media.His chemistry experiments have attracted over 2 million followers in just a few months.Evans is a chemistry professor at the Beijing University of Chemical Technology.The 60-year-old always wears a white lab coat, a pair of safety goggles (护目镜), and smiles often.Some web users say he looks just like the “grandpa of KFC”.
Evans has posted videos of various experiments.His most popular experiments have attracted millions of hits on video-sharing apps.Excited children's cheers and shouts can be heard in his videos.“I hope my experiments can arouse people's interest in science,” he says.
Evans has been interested in China since childhood.In the early 1970s, before the reform and opening-up,he viewed it as a “country full of mysteries”.He first visited China in 1987 to attend a chemistry conference in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province.He quit his job in the United Kingdom and moved to Beijing in 1996.Many of his friends thought he was crazy.But Evans says they just saw China's challenges but not its potential.
Since 2011, Evans has turned to the Internet to popularize science.He learned short-video apps are also popular in small cities and rural areas.And he realized this enables him to reach more students, who lack opportunities to perform fun experiments.But even a one-minute video requires a considerable amount of work.Still, he thinks it's worth it to fulfill his responsibility to popularize science.
His experiments always fill schools' lecture halls with laughter.Some viewers call him “a Harry Potter-like magician”, but he disagrees.“A magician never tells the secrets behind his tricks, but a scientist always gives an explanation.” He sees himself as a teacher.He performs experiments to spread knowledge, inspire thinking, remove misunderstandings and show that science can create changes.Evans says he looks forward to more “chemical reactions” with China.

Andrew Grey doesn't fit most people's idea of an astronomer.He works in a car repair shop, not in a lab or university, yet the Australian repairman discovered a star system hiding in data from NASA's Kepler space telescope.
Mr Grey is one of millions of citizen scientists helping researchers to expand collective understanding.For centuries, only a few ordinary people had been contributing to science, but advances in technology have brought a higher level of democratization (民主化) to science.
“This is a collaborative (合作的) effort that anyone could get involved in,” says Chris Lintott, an Oxford University astrophysicist (天体物理学家) and co-founder of Zooniverse, a platform that hosts dozens of citizen science projects.Citizen scientists can contribute to breakthroughs in almost any field, from ecology to astrophysics.
“As long as pattern recognition is involved, there are no limits to what can become a citizen science project,” Lintott says.“Anyone can identify patterns in images, graphs, or even seemingly boring data after a short tutorial.Machine learning allows computers to do some pattern recognition.But humans, particularly amateur scientists, don't stay focused on what they're supposed to.And that's good, because people who do that notice the unusual things in a data set.”
“And citizen science doesn't have to be directed by a scientist,” says Sheila Jasanoff, director of the Program on Science, Technology and Society at Harvard University.“Citizens producing knowledge in places where official organs have failed them can also be citizen scientists,” she says.That's what happened in Flint, Michigan, when a local mother started drinking water tests that caused a broader investigation of lead levels.
Citizen-powered research is as old as scientific inquiry.For centuries before science became professionalized, regular people looked for patterns in the world around them.Despite a lot of advanced equipment and computer models, scientists still welcome help from everyday people.
As a professional scientist himself, Lintott says, “People think that we're intelligent, but science is easy and we need your help.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。数个世纪以来,只有少数普通人为科学做出了贡献,但科技的进步已经为科学带来了更高水平的民主化,科学是任何人都能参与的,每个人都有可能成为科学家。
8.What made citizen scientists appear?
A.The high level of science projects.
B.The development of technology.
C.The support of the government.
D.The foundation of Zooniverse.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“but advances in technology have brought a higher level of democratization to science”可知,科技的进步为科学带来了更高水平的民主化,从而使更多的普通人也能参与科学研究,促成了平民科学家的出现。
√
9.What is an advantage of humans in pattern recognition compared with machines?
A.Humans can identify patterns more swiftly.
B.Humans focus their attention on data.
C.Humans can observe uncommon things.
D.Humans have stronger emotions.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段尤其是最后一句可知,在模式识别方面,人类与机器相比,人类的优势在于能够注意到一些不寻常的东西。
√
10.What is Lintott's attitude towards citizen science?
A.Favorable. B.Cautious.
C.Indifferent. D.Doubtful.
解析:观点态度题。根据第三段中Lintott表述的科学人人都能参与,第四段中他表述的平民科学家有自身的优势和尾段中他说的话可推知,Lintott支持平民科学。
√
11.What would be the best title of the text?
A.Citizen scientists can be intelligent
B.Science is important to everyone
C.Anyone can be a scientist
D.Science is everywhere
√
解析:标题归纳题。文章第一段以澳大利亚汽车修理工Andrew Grey成为平民科学家来引入话题,接着又讲到天体物理学家Chris Lintott和Sheila Jasanoff对于平民科学的看法,并结合倒数第二段中的“scientists still welcome help from everyday people”可知,本文主要肯定了平民科学家,表达了任何人都可能成为科学家的观点,故C项最适合作文章标题。
D
We live in an age when all scientific knowledge — from the safety of vaccines (疫苗) to the reality of climate change — faces organized and often angry opposition.Doubters have declared war on the consensus (共识) of experts.It seems that people have turned argumentative overnight.
In a sense, all this is not surprising.Our lives are affected by science and technology as never before.The world seems full of real and imaginary dangers.Though scientists agree that the Ebola virus is spread only by direct contact with blood or body fluids (液体), if you type “airborne Ebola” into an Internet search engine, you'll find that some people believe that this virus has almost supernatural power.
In this often confusing world, we need to rely on science to decide whether what we choose to believe has a basis in the laws of nature or not.But science doesn't come naturally to most of us.Science has often led us to truths that are really mind-blowing.For example, although the roundness of the Earth has been known for thousands of years, some still feel it hard to accept.
Even when people become scientifically educated, most of them still try to make sense of the world by relying on personal experience, stories or emotions rather than statistics.When they hear a number of cancer cases in a town with a dangerous waste dump (垃圾场), they believe pollution caused the cancers.Yet two things happening together doesn't mean one caused the other.Even when they turn to the Internet, they let in only the information they agree with to strengthen their belief that has already been shaped by their worldview.
How can scientists convince doubters? Throwing more facts to people may not be enough.More efforts are supposed to be made.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。现在,我们的生活前所未有地受到科学和技术的影响,但是即便已经有科学证实的事实,有些人还是会依赖个人经验。科学家该如何说服怀疑者?摆出更多的事实恐怕还不够。
12.What's the text mainly about?
A.How people view the world.
B.What challenges science faces.
C.Whether science is worth respect.
D.Why people show disbelief in science.
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了有些人不相信科学的原因:虽然我们的生活前所未有地受到科学和技术的影响,但某些人还会依赖个人经验等。
√
13.What does the underlined word “mind-blowing” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Unbelievable. B.Desirable.
C.Dangerous. D.Obvious.
解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段的尾句“For example, although ...it hard to accept.”可知,几千年来,尽管地球是圆的这一说法已经众所周知,但仍有人觉得难以接受。由此可知,科学发现的真理往往是让人难以置信的,故画线词的意思与A项最为接近。
√
14.How do “people” in paragraph 4 understand the world?
A.They apply logical thinking.
B.They stick to their own belief.
C.They form the views on assumptions.
D.They rely on the information on the Internet.
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段第一句的内容可知,即使人们接受了科学教育,他们中的大多数人仍然试图依靠个人经验、故事或情感来理解世界,而不是统计数据。由此可以推知,他们坚持自己的看法。
√
15.How does the author prove his opinions?
A.Through comparison.
B.Through quotation.
C.By giving examples.
D.By making definitions.
√
解析:写作手法题。通读第二段可知,该段通过举例说明埃博拉病毒的传播途径受到人们质疑,说明事实受到质疑;通读第四段可知,该段通过举例介绍小镇上有一些癌症病例时,人们会认为是垃圾场的污染导致了癌症,说明人们往往依赖个人经验或个人情感理解世界,而不是统计数据。由此可知,作者通过举例论证其观点。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
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。
Around 200 years ago, a well-known English poet called John Keats attacked science.He said that British scientist Isaac Newton had “unweaved (拆解) the rainbow”.Newton explained how light forms a rainbow.For Keats, this explanation meant rainbows could no longer be beautiful.
__16__ We often hear people talk of problems with science, or say that it is boring.Some people, like Keats, also say that science takes away the beauty of the world.But is this fair?
First of all, science helps us get things done. __17__ When you are studying science in school, remember that one day you might be using that knowledge to build a bridge, or save a life.Next time you use your phone to send a message, remember that this is possible thanks to science.When Keats criticized Newton, the very paper he wrote on was created through science.Beyond helping society and getting things done, science also makes us think in a certain way. __18__ It teaches us never to trust our assumptions.It teaches us that sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction.
When you study science, remember what it means. __19__ Humans once looked up at rainbows, and said that they were beautiful.Science explained them, and they were no longer mysterious to us. __20__ Through science, we can find new rainbows: mysteries that lie beyond the stars themselves.
A.But discovery never stops.
B.This is just one example of many.
C.It is a constant search for truth and knowledge.
D.Science is not so closely associated with our lives.
E.It asks us to believe things only through evidence.
F.It helps us understand the world in which we live and how it works.
G.See science as a tool to discover how living things interact and evolve on Earth.
16.选B 上一段落列举出了诗人攻击科学的例子。根据空后一句可知,人们觉得用科学解释美丽的事物很无聊。该空承上启下,故B项“这只是众多例子中的一个”符合语境,选项中“This”指代上文中英国著名诗人John Keats攻击科学的例子。
17.选F 根据上文“First of all, science helps us get things done.”可知,该空承接上文,具体说明科学如何帮助我们做事。故F项“它帮助我们理解我们生活的世界和它是如何运作的”符合语境,且与空后一句话题一致,都是在说明科学在生活中的实际应用。
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学的重要性、必要性以及科学发现无止境。
18.选E 根据空前一句可知,这里指出了科学让我们思考。根据空后一句可知,这里具体说明科学如何让我们思考。故E项“它要求我们只能通过证据来相信事情”符合语境,也是在具体说明科学如何让我们思考,且与下文句式相同。
19.选C 根据上文“When you study science, remember what it means.”和下文“Humans once looked up at rainbows, and said that they were beautiful.Science explained them, and they were no longer mysterious to us.”可知,该空承上启下,解释科学的真谛。故C项“它是对真理和知识的不断追求”符合语境。
20.选A 根据空后一句可知,通过不断地探索,会有更多新的科学发现,即发现无止境。故A项“但是发现从未停止”符合语境。

The important thing to remember is that you need to learn from your mistakes. __45__ you don't, then there is no point making them.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章通过一系列案例告诉我们:许多成功的事情都是在失败中孕育出来的。不要害怕失败,要从失败中学习。
36.who 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Thomas Edison,且在从句中作主语,故填who。
37.failures 考查名词及其复数。空处与“false starts”并列作主语,应用名词的复数形式,故填failures。
38.a 考查冠词。句意:事实上,相当多的日常事务都是从错误及误解中孕育出来的。固定搭配a number of意为“很多”,且surprising以辅音音素开头,故填a。
39.what 考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导宾语从句,且在从句中作主语,表示“……的东西”,故填what。
40.thinner 考查形容词比较级。than为表示比较含义的连词,应连接形容词的比较级,故填thinner。
41.held 考查非谓语动词。此处为固定结构have sth.done,故填held。
42.was asked 考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子结构可知,Thomas Watson与ask之间是被动关系,应用被动语态;又因为事情发生在过去,因此应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was asked。
43.training 考查非谓语动词。spend time/money doing sth.意为“花费时间/金钱做某事”,故填training。
44.benefit 考查非谓语动词。let后接动词时应用动词原形,故填benefit。
45.If 考查连词。上文提到“重要的是,你要从错误中学习”,而下文则提到“没有从错误中学到东西,犯错就没有意义”,由此判断这是一个条件状语从句,且空处位于句首,首字母应大写,故填If。

Dear Tom,
I am excited to tell you that the first Science and Technology Festival was held in our school last month.It aimed at enriching us students' school life and promoting the students' awareness of innovation.
There were a variety of activities in the festival, which included Makers on Campus, where participants could show their designs and products, and an exhibition of the students' original inventions, designs and literary works. With the enthusiastic participation and support of all the students, the activity turned out a great success. I was astonished at the schoolmates' creativity and teamwork spirits.
I do hope more activities will be held in my school to provide us with chances to practice our critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Yours,

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。
One time,the teachers at a school wanted to teach the students about airplanes.While all airplanes can fly, some are able to fly farther than others.This is because not all airplanes are built the same.For example, a fighter plane looks very different from a plane that people fly in when they want to go on a holiday.The teachers wondered how they could make students understand this.
Then, the science teacher, Mr Moose, decided that the school should have a paper airplane contest.Every student would design a paper airplane.They would stand in a line in the playground behind the school.The students would take turns throwing their airplanes.The student whose airplane went the farthest would win.
When Mr Moose announced the paper airplane contest to the students, they were very excited.A student named Paul, who was on the school sports team, said to everyone else that his airplane would win.“I am the strongest,” Paul said.“So I will be able to throw my airplane the farthest.”
However, while Paul was saying this, another student, Brian, was thinking how he could win.Brian did not play any sports and was not very strong.But he loved airplanes and really wanted to win the contest.
Brian realized what he had to do.He went to the store and bought a big stack (叠) of paper.When he got home, he took the paper into his backyard.He took a piece of paper and folded an airplane.It didn't go very far, so Brian took another piece and folded another airplane and threw it.This airplane went a little farther.Brian kept folding different kinds of airplanes and throwing them.Some went very far and some did not.Finally, when Brian had used all the paper, he walked up to the airplane that had flown the farthest and picked it up.
The next day was the contest.All the students lined up.Everyone took turns.After a while, everyone had thrown except Paul and Brian.Paul went first.With a loud yell, he threw the airplane into the sky.It went farther than every other airplane.Everyone cheered.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Finally, it was Brian's turn. ________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Brian won because he tried out many solutions to the problem of how to make an airplane fly very far. _____________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文:
Finally, it was Brian's turn.Brian took the airplane that he had picked up the day before.He walked up to the line and, with all his strength, he threw the plane.It went flying, farther and farther, until finally it landed — 10 feet past Paul's plane! The whole school cheered.Brian won the contest.Mr Moose gave him a prize: a toy airplane.
Brian won because he tried out many solutions to the problem of how to make an airplane fly very far.He did this by testing out many different designs and comparing the results.When he found the design that worked best — the paper airplane that flew the farthest — he used it.Because Brian tried a lot of designs, he was able to make up for his lack of strength and beat Paul.
