It was published by a famous scientist named Charles Darwin. This theory proposed that all species of life have changed over time from common ancestors. Before Darwin, most people believed that every species was created separately and never changed. Darwin’s idea was a huge changer in the world of biology. Darwin didn’t just come up with this theory overnight. He spent five years traveling around the world on a ship called the HMS Beagle. During the journey, he discovered many fossils (化石) and observed thousands of living things. He noticed that animals on different islands were similar but had small differences to help them survive in their own environments. For example, the beaks (喙) of finches (雀) on different islands were shaped differently for eating different seeds. Although many people did not accept his theory at first, it later became very powerful and successful. It helps us understand the history of life on Earth. Today, it is a general basis for modern biology. Darwin’s work proves that great discoveries require patient observation and a willingness to challenge old beliefs. 1.

D篇 (4小题，每题1分，共4分) 阅读短文，然后根据短文内容简要回答问题。 In the past, if you wanted to listen to music, you needed a record player, a cassette player, or a CD player. These devices were big, heavy, and often expensive. Then came a true game-changer: the MP3 player. The invention of the MP3 format allowed music files to be compressed (压缩) without losing too much quality. This meant you could store hundreds of songs on a small, inexpensive device. One of the most successful companies in this field was Apple with its iPod. The iPod didn’t invent the MP3 player, but it made it smart and incredibly easy to use. With its simple scroll wheel (滚轮) and large storage, it changed how people bought and listened to music. For the first time, you could carry your entire music collection in your pocket. This invention also had a huge power over the music industry, shifting sales from physical albums to digital downloads. While most people now use their smartphones to listen to music, the MP3 player paved the way for the portable media devices we use today. 1.

I’d like to tell you about Thomas Edison, the inventor I admire most. Edison is famous for inventing the practical electric light bulb. Before his invention, people had to use gas lamps which were dangerous. He also invented the phonograph. What I admire most is his spirit. He didn't give up after failing thousands of times. He said that every failure brought him closer to success. This teaches me that we should never be afraid of making mistakes. What about you? Who is your favorite inventor? I’m looking forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
