Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut. Her family moved to the Brooklyn area of New York City in 1908. Barbara was an active child with interest in sports and music. She also developed an interest in science. She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later, she-noted that few college students desired to study genetics. Barbara McClintock decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell. She completed a master’s degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate. McClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. The 1930s was not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the Great Depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticists were not much in demand. An old friend from Cornell, Marcus Morton Rhoades, invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941 working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. It was a research centre on Long Island, near New York City. McClintock started in a temporary job with the genetics department. A short time later, she accepted a permanent position in the laboratory. This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid. By the 1970s, her discoveries had had a significant effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research. McClintock won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change positions on chromosomes. She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. 24. When did McClintock get a doctorate? ( ) A. In 1921. B. In 1923. C. In 1925. D. In 1927. 25. What can we learn about in the middle of the Great Depression in the US?( ) A. Male geneticists were in great demand. B. Young scientists might nave trouble finding a job. C. Female geneticists were not in demand at all. D. Male scientists lost their jobs and were out of work. 26. Which of the following jobs was beneficial to McClintock’s research? ( ) A. A job as a botany teacher. B. A temporary job in the genetics department. C. A permanent position in the laboratory. D. A job on cancer. 27. Why was McClintock awarded a Nobel Prize? ( ) A. Because she received a degree in Genetics. B. Because she contributed to genetic engineering and cancer research. C. Because she made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes. D. Because she was the first American woman who studied genes and chromosomes. C On the side of a busy road leading into Dundee, on the east coast of Scotland, the blades (叶片) of a small wind turbine (涡轮机) move in the wind of passing cars and trucks. It is charging a battery that is below the ground. This is an invention by Sanwal Muneer, a young engineer from Pakistan. Muneer was inspired to create the turbine as he stood on the side of a racetrack several years ago. “At first, the light wind from the cars was just a welcome relief from the heat, ” he says. “Then I started to think about how we could use that energy.” The turbine stands 2.5 metres tall. Made of recyclable carbon fibres, it weighs just nine kilogrammes, making it easy to transport it and set it up. The fully-charged battery can hold a kilowatt of electricity, enough to run two lamps and a fan for around 40 hours. The idea is that this could be a source of electricity for rural communities in developing countries, or could power traffic lights or road signs in urban areas. Dundee City Council is the first local authority to allow Muneer’s company, Capture Mobility, to test the turbine beside its roads. “We want to help engineers create something inventive which is also beneficial to the city, ” says Neil Gellatly, head of roads and transportation for Dundee City Council. Capture Mobility moved to Scotland from Pakistan in 2015. The Scottish government is investing in cleaner-energy technologies. Wind is also strong and plentiful all year round here. This makes it a good location for Muneer’s company. Production costs remain the company’s biggest challenge. The turbines must be affordable in developing countries, but achieving this will depend on commercial scale (规模). Capture Mobility is now analysing data from the turbine. Later this year, the company plans to send the next stage of the design to the producers. “I am passionate about engineering, ” Muneer says. “But engineering is only a success if it improves lives.” 28. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? ( ) A. By sharing opinions about turbines. B By offering the definition of turbines. C. By introducing the inventor’s experience. D. By describing the scene of a wind turbine at work. 29. What can we learn about Muneer’s turbine? ( ) A. It is fixed to the ground. B. It turns traffic into energy. C. It has been used to power traffic lights. D. It is inspired by a rechargeable fan. 30. Why did Capture Mobility move to Scotland? ( ) A. To make full use of its wind with the Scottish government s permission. B. To work with its inventive engineers. C. To help solve its energy shortage. D. To answer its government’s invitation. 31. What might Capture Mobility do in the future? ( ) A. Make the turbine out of recyclable materials. B. Invest in cleaner-energy technologies. C. Test the turbine in Dundee. D. Mass-produce the turbine. D Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motorcars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motorcars which go even faster are produced; each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds on handling tasks. All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet lag (时差反应); our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long time on the computer results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about. However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not to relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps “the days” are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world. There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care for cattle. No multitasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced; they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence. 32. Why do the new products become more and more time-saving? ( ) A. Because our love of speed seems never-ending. B. Because time is limited. C. Because the prices are increasingly high. D. Because the comparties boast a lot. 33. What does the underlined part “the days” in paragraph 3 refer to? ( ) A. Imaginary life. B. Simple life in the past. C. Times of inventions. D. Times for constant activity. 34. What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology? ( ) A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Optimistic. D. Negative. 35. What does the passage mainly discuss? ( ) A. The present and past times. B. Machinery and human beings. C. Imaginations and inventions. D. Modern technology and its influence. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Become a Scientist Be curious. Scientists choose to become scientists because they are curious about the world around them and how the things in it work. This curiosity leads them to investigate the how and why behind what they see. (36) Becoming a scientist takes a long time. There are very few careers that take longer than this one. Even when you’re doing with your education, you still have to get research under your belt. If you’re an instant-gratification (即时满足) type of person, this may not be the right career for you. Be diligent and persevere. It’s been said that jobs in science are the lowest paid in the US. What this is getting at is that because of the long path to success, for a while you won’t be living lavishly (奢华地). (37) Have the need to always keep learning. (38) Whether it’s reading peer-reviewed journals, attending seminars, or working toward getting yourself published, you’ll always be learning. (39) In those years of waiting for results, you need to constantly be looking for the smallest changes in what you expect to see. Your eye needs to be focused and ready at all times. Think differently. Think back to Newton’s apple falling on his head or Archimedes jumping into his tub and displacing water. Most people would think nothing of these events, but these men saw something else, something no one else was seeing at the time. (40) A. Observation skills are also necessary. B. Be patient in climbing the career ladder. C. Things are going to be tough for a while. D. Then you’ve probably made of the right stuff. E. As the saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” F. Actually what every scientist does is to seek out knowledge. G. To make progress in human knowledge, you have to think differently. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Martha and Sandy have been running a tech charity—pass IT on—for 15 years.

I was looking forward to my presents. Since I’m the youngest in the family, all of the family members would give me a gift one way or another. Sometimes it was a cookie or a hug but it was always there. I was the only center of attention and it was feeling good. My uncles usually would ask me what I wanted before Christmas and that year I knew what I wanted. It was the spaceship I saw in the ads. I was dreaming of opening a big gift box, and it was there. But that year it came in a way that I wasn’t expecting. It was two weeks before Christmas. Just two weeks. She couldn’t wait. My dear mother told my father that it was time, and then we went to the hospital. After an hour, they told me that I had a sister now. But I didn’t want a sister. I wanted a spaceship. The next few days went so fast. No one was caring about me. Everyone was talking about her and I knew that my life is never going to be the same ever again. I wasn’t ready to grow up, to be a big brother. But it just happened in an instant. On the day before Christmas, everyone was in our home, talking only about my newborn sister. My family was becoming hers. Even my uncles didn’t ask me anything about the gift. She stole everything I’d ever had, my life and my presents. Thinking about this, I cried to sleep. I had a nightmare (噩梦) and woke up at the middle of the night. Shadows were all around me, and I was defenseless and so weak. I ran into my parents’ bedroom but couldn’t wake up my poor parents who were just too worn out. I was standing near their bed, trying not to cry when I saw her. She was awake and looking at me with her big eyes in her small bed. 注意： 1．续写词数应为 150 左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly a long shadow came into the bedroom and she started crying.
