第三部分写作(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共5小题;满分10分)
阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题,并将答案写到答题卡的相
应位置。
Magic words are usually only found in fairy stories,but the word "why"comes quite
close to being magical.It has changed the world many times.
Every important progress and great achievement in human history has started with a
question:a“Why?,an "I wonder?”,or“Shall we try?”.Every experiment(实验)and
discovery starts with a question,sometimes as simple as "What is this?"
Often,the more you know about something,the more questions you have.This might
sound strange-surely if you know a lot,you don't need to keep asking anything.
However,humans have learned many important things by asking questions.
Wonder mode(模式):On
(Curiosity()is so important.It's how people get to know one another,
understand things and solve problems.
One of the most important life-saving developments came from people's thinking,
"Hang on,what's going on here then?"In the late 18th century,the deadly disease
smallpox()killed huge numbers of people.A doctor named Edward Jenner heard a
story.Anyone who had caught a.similar illness called cowpox()couldn't catch
smallpox.Interested in this,and curious about what was going on,he began testing the
idea.This led to the development of vaccines()
Another huge leap()came about in 1928.The scientist Alexander Fleming came
back from a holiday.He noticed something unusual in a dish in his lab and said,"Isn't it
funny?"Fleming looked into what was funny.It was a type of mould()that seemed to
stop bacteria(细菌)from spreading.This led him to discover penicillin(青釋素),
There are no silly questions
When children are babies and are first getting to know the world,everything is a
question-even before they know enough words to be able to ask one.Early life is like
many small experiments.Sometimes the answer to "What happens if I do this?"is "I land
on my bottom and it hurts"-but that's still an important lesson.
Sometimes,as people get older,they can worry that asking questions makes them
sound silly,but the cleverest people in the world spend their lives asking questions.And
getting an answer is never the end for them
45
41.Why does the writer think the word "why"is magical?
42.What does the underlined word "this"in Paragraph 5 refer to?
43.What did Alexander Fleming discover?
44.What does the writer want to tell us according to Paragraphs 7 and 8?
45.Please give an ending.
