　　（2026•青岛高二上期中） People You’ve Never Heard of Who Changed the World 　　It is a fact that most people live their lives unremarked by history．Whether by design or by accident， there are always some pioneers whose achievements changed the course of history but whose names are unknown to us． James Harrison 　　James Harrison has saved the lives of over two million people by donating his blood 1，173 times， a Guinness world record．His blood produces a rare antibody （抗体） which cures the otherwise deadly Rhesus disease in unborn children．It has also been used in the development of a medicine anti－D， which will cure the Rhesus disease in children forever． Lewis Latimer 　　After helping Alexander Graham Bell obtain his patent for the telephone， Lewis Latimer patented a carbon filament （碳灯丝）， which allowed light bulbs to burn for hours before burning out， much more useful than that invented by Thomas Edison at that time．Latimer went on to invent many other useful devices， including a device which cooled and cleaned patients’ rooms in hospitals． Maurice Hilleman 　　Not all achievements require bravery and self－sacrifice．Take Maurice Hilleman for example．He found another way to change the world．He developed the mumps vaccine （流行性腮腺炎疫苗） after his daughter got the illness．And he didn’t stop there．In total， he has single－handedly developed over 40 vaccines， including eight commonly given to children．His work has saved millions of lives and prevented serious consequences due to the diseases． Nils Bohlin 　　In 1959 Nils Bohlin patented a revolutionary design that has saved millions of lives — the three－point safety belt．After the initial resistance from drivers who hated being told what to do， and even for their own good， the three－point belt has become a standard feature in new cars around the world． 21.Whose patent allowed light bulbs to burn for hours before burning out？（　　） A．Alexander Graham Bell．　　 B．Lewis Latimer． C．Thomas Edison．　　 D．Nils Bohlin． 22.What’s the similarity between James Harrison and Maurice Hilleman？（　　） A．They both had spirits of bravery and self－sacrifice． B．Their contributions saved the lives of many children． C．They devoted themselves to work because of family members． D．They both set a Guinness world record． 23.What were drivers’ initial attitudes to the three－point seat belt according to the passage？（　　） A．They refused to use it．　　 B．They were satisfied with it． C．They were surprised at it．　　 D．They got excited about it． B 　　（2026•郑州十校高二上联考）Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie or Richard Feynman， Wu Chien－shiung is not a household name in China but she was one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century， one that “completely” changed human’s view of the universe． 　　Wu’s father， Wu Zhongyi， founded the first school for girls in Taicang， aiming to break the old idea that it was women’s virtue to have no talents， which had the greatest influence on Wu Chien－shiung’s life．Working in the scientific world dominated （支配） by men， she never gave up or lowered her standards even if unequally treated．After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934， Wu registered at the University of California， Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics． 　　During her 44－year career as a nuclear physicist， Wu’s pioneering achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”，“queen of nuclear research” and “first lady of physics”．She was the first woman to be president of American Physical Society， the first female winner of the Comstock Prize in physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences， the first person to receive the Wolf Prize in physics， the first honorary doctorate awarded by Princeton University to a woman， and the first female professor of physics in the history of Columbia University． 　　To get accurate results from experiments， she worked very hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation for accuracy．There was a saying among physicists：If the experiment was done by Wu， it must be correct．She was always very careful in experiments， spending a great deal of time calibrating （校准） instruments．She didn’t start collecting data until she fully understood the instruments．Her experiments overturned many previous experimental results and theories， said Samuel Chao Chung Ting， American physicist and Nobel Prize winner． 　　On 16 February 1997， Wu died in the US．According to her will， she was buried in her hometown Taicang．She was a distinguished world citizen， and was forever a Chinese． 24.What influenced Wu Chien－shiung when she was young？（　　） A．Her life in America．　　 B．Her love for physics． C．Her family background．　　 D．Marie Curie’s achievements． 25.What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3？（　　） A．Awards are usually gained through great efforts． B．Wu Chien－shiung was “a pioneer” in many ways． C．No scientists were better than Wu Chien－shiung． D．We cannot stress the importance of physics enough． 26.Which of the following can best describe Wu Chien－shiung？（　　） A．Caring and responsible．　　 B．Courageous and creative． C．Stubborn and sensitive．　　 D．Cautious and hardworking． 27.What is the text mainly about？（　　） A．An influential woman nuclear physicist．　　 B．An important contribution to physics． C．The influence of modern education．　　 D．Nuclear researches in scientific world． C 　　Elon Musk’s controversial start－up Neuralink has implanted a chip in a human brain for the first time， the billionaire said in a post on his X platform late Monday．The operation took place on Sunday and the patient was recovering well， he added． 　　Musk’s announcement could mark an important milestone for Neuralink’s efforts to lead potentially life－transforming technology out of the lab and into the real world．But he offered few details， and it’s unclear from Musk’s post how significant of a scientific advancement the implantation represents． 　　Neuralink’s first product would be called Telepathy， he said in another post， adding that its initial users will be people who have lost the use of their limbs （肢）．“Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer．That is the goal，” Musk wrote． 　　Neuralink has been working toward using implants to connect the human brain to a computer for half a decade．In May last year， Neuralink received FDA’s permission for human clinical trials． 　　Neuralink’s clinical trial is called PRIME， short for “Precise Robotically Implanted Brain－Computer Interface”， which aims to study the safety of its implant and surgical robot， and to test the functionality of its device， the company said in a September blog post about recruiting trial participants． 　　Trial patients will have a chip surgically placed in the part of the brain that controls the intention to move．The chip， installed by a robot， will then record and send brain signals to an app， with the initial goal being “to grant people the ability to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone”， the company wrote in September． 　　“The idea of brain－nervous system interfaces has great potential to help people with neurological disorders in the future，” Tara Spires－Jones， president of the British Neuroscience Association， told the UK－based Science Media Center Tuesday．“However， most of these interfaces are still in experimental stages， thus it will likely be many years before they are commonly available．” 28.What was Elon Musk’s announcement mainly about？（　　） A．The trial of a new theory．　　 B．The launch of a new product． C．The progress of a new technology．　　 D．The development of a new company． 29.What can we learn about Neuralink’s first product？（　　） A．It will first be used on animals．　　 B．It will come on the market soon． C．It will be targeted at a special group of people．　　 D．It will be aimed at curing some special diseases． 30.What’s the purpose of Neuralink’s PRIME？（　　） A．To test its new technology．　　 B．To predict the future trend． C．To promote its new products．　　 D．To analyze the market demand． 31.What was Tara Spires－Jones’s attitude towards Elon Musk’s idea？（　　） A．Doubtful．　　　　　B．Optimistic．　　C．Negative．　　　　　D．Ambiguous． D 　　（2026•潍坊高二上期中）Many factors can influence whether a patient lives or dies．However， in data from different countries， patients treated by female doctors seem to do better than those treated by male ones． 　　In 2017， Yusuke Tsugawa of Harvard Medical School， and his colleagues in Boston analyzed the medical records of around 1.5 million older adults who had been in hospital in America between 2011 and 2014.They found that patients whose treatment had been performed by a female doctor were about 4% less likely to die than those whose treatment doctor was a man． 　　One disadvantage with the study is that it is retrospective， looking back at naturally occurring data rather than random experiments．This could cover any factors which might be really driving the effect， says Gavin Stewart， an expert at Newcastle University．It could be that female doctors tend to be responsible for healthier patients than their male colleagues．In an experiment where patients were randomly distributed among doctors， female doctors seem to do better． 　　Researchers say the next step is to work out why．“I don’t think it’s the presence or absence of a Y chromosome （染色体），” says Dr Christopher Wallis．“I think it’s a series of behaviours that are linked with gender．” Past research has found that female doctors tend to spend more time with patients， are more likely to provide preventive care and tend to stick more closely to guidelines than their male colleagues do．This could reduce the risk of deaths． 　　Understanding why such difference in care will help all doctors improve their practice．For all things that advanced medical equipment and new drugs can do， a physician’s judgement seems to be as important as ever． 32.In which way was the study in 2017 conducted？（　　） A．Theoretical models．　　 B．Statistical methods． C．Practical examples．　　 D．Historical analyses． 33.What does the underlined word “retrospective” in paragraph 3 mean？（　　） A．Critical．　　　　　 B．Backtracked．　　 C．Dated．　　　　　 D．Accurate． 34.Which statement would Wallis probably agree with？（　　） A．Y chromosome determines gender differences． B．Gender difference in care has different effects． C．Female doctors are always assigned with healthier patients． D．Male doctors could reduce the potential risk of deaths． 35.What can we know from the last paragraph？（　　） A．A doctor’s judgement is as important as other factors． B．Gender difference can’t help improve doctors’ treatment． C．We should notice gender difference in doctors’ treatment． D．We could use doctors’ judgement to improve his treatment． 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。 　　How long does it take to become an expert in your field？ 36.　　 That’s what John Hayes， a cognitive psychology professor at Carnegie Mellon University， wanted to know． 　　For decades， Hayes has been investigating the role of effort， practice， and knowledge in top performers.37.　　 The research focused on people like Mozart and Picasso to determine how long it took them to become world class at their craft． 　　Let’s talk about what Hayes has discovered about world class performers．And more importantly， let’s discuss how you can use these insights to achieve your goals and become your best． 　　38.　　 He analyzed thousands of musical pieces produced from 1685 to 1900.The central question that drove his work was，“How long after one becomes interested in music is it that one becomes world class？” 　　Eventually， Hayes developed a list of 500 pieces of “masterworks”， which were created by a total of 76 composers.39.　　 And then he calculated how long they had been working before they created their popular works．What he discovered was that virtually every single “masterwork” was written after year ten of the composer’s career． 　　40.　　 Even a genius like Mozart had to work for at least ten years before he produced something that became popular．Professor Hayes began to refer to this period， which was filled with hard work and little recognition， as the “ten years of silence”． 　　In follow－up studies， Hayes found similar patterns among famous painters and popular poets．These findings have been further confirmed by research from professors like K．Anders Ericsson， who produced research that revealed that you needed to put in “10，000 hours” to become an expert in your field． A．It takes time to achieve your goal． B．And what do people like doing in their spare time？ C．He has studied the most talented creators in history． D．Hayes started his research by examining successful composers． E．Next， Hayes mapped out the timeline of each composer’s career． F．And what do the successful people do differently from the rest of us？ G．Not a single person produced incredible work without putting in a decade of practice first． 第三部分　语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 　　阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 　　Throughout history， female scientists， engineers and mathematicians have

groceries．I was driving north， and she was walking south．I’d seen her before， but as a young lady， I would feel guilty each time I didn’t offer her a lift． 　　But how could I safely stop in the middle of a busy road to help anyone without blocking the late－afternoon traffic？ That was my reasoning．It resolved my guilt ．．．temporarily． 　　This day， however， the guilt got to me．I got into the far－left lane and made a U－turn．Slowing down， I opened the window and called out，“Need a ride？” 　　I knew I was upsetting the drivers around me， but I no longer cared．The woman looked tired， with sweat pouring down her tired face． 　　“Let me help you with your groceries，” I added． 　　Getting out of the car， I placed her walker and bags into my trunk （后备箱）．I helped the woman into the passenger seat， and we were off． 　　After a few blocks and a bridge， we continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building where she lived．Several noisy young men in their early twenties had gathered around the entrance．They were smoking something and appeared threatening．Some were on motorcycles， and one， wearing his bushy， long hair， was staring at me intently — too intently — and smiling． 　　Hoodlum （小混混）! I thought I was getting more and more uncomfortable， but the woman in my car seemed fine．I stopped the car where she had indicated and opened the trunk．She directed a couple of the guys to help with her walker and groceries．She thanked me， and I drove away as fast as I could． 　　With GPS， I drove slowly and turned on the radio playing some familiar music．Suddenly the peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by the roar of a motorcycle behind me．I must admit it made me nervous．Slowing down， I was hoping he would pass me．I recognized the biker from the apartment house — the one with bushy hair who kept smiling at me familiarly． 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 　　I was forced to pull over to the side of the lonely road．　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　Obviously， the young man came to return it．　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 答案 单元质量检测（一）　PEOPLE OF ACHIEVEMENT 第一部分 1－5　ACBCB6－10　BCABA 11－15　BCABC　　16－20　ABCBC 听力材料： （Text 1） W：What do you like to do during the weekend？ M：I love cycling．On Saturday morning I usually ride around the city for two hours． （Text 2） W：What kind of college are you going to apply for？ M：My father wants me to go into business but my mother wants me to go to medical school． （Text 3） M：How much time has passed since we started talking？ W：It’s been only 10 minutes． M：So right now it should be 3：10 p．m． W：Correct． （Text 4） W：Where did you get the money to start your restaurant？ M：I have been saving my money for years． W：Is there any other way to get money to start up a small business？ M：Yes， you can borrow some from a bank． （Text 5） W：Did you want to become a scientist when you were young？ M：No．I became interested in insects only after I entered university． W：Are you happy with the working conditions in this university？ M：Yes．It provides me excellent equipment and enough funding to do my work． （Text 6） M：What did you do after graduation？ W：I’d planned to be a teacher， but then I was offered a good job doing marketing， so I changed my mind． M：Sounds like you’re happy with your decision． W：I am．I enjoy my job very much．By the way， have you not had any job offers yet？ M：I had one， but I didn’t like the job very much．I’d also really wanted to attend graduate school， but I was afraid I couldn’t pay that much money． W：I think you need to make a decision， stick to it and don’t be afraid of difficulties． （Text 7） W：Look， Jack!

work之间为主动关系，因此用动词－ing形式。 64.to honour　考查非谓语动词。这里表示一颗小行星以刘徽的名字命名，以纪念他和他所代表的中国数学。因此用动词不定式短语作目的状语。 65.their　考查代词。本空后面是名词短语lasting influence，因此这里用形容词性物主代词来修饰它。 第四部分 第一节 Dear John， 　　I’d like to introduce my favorite scientist to you．He is Qian Xuesen， a patriotic， outstanding and gifted scientist． 　　Initially， Qian Xuesen studied Railway Mechanical Engineering， but after the Songhu Battle broke out， he shifted his major to aviation to defend our country．In 1955， he returned from America to China and was in charge of China’s space and missile program．Under his leadership， China made steady progress in aerospace and aviation．He made great contributions to the development of China’s aerospace． 　　Qian Xuesen devoted all his life to science and he will inspire me to follow my dream． Sincerely yours， Li Hua 第二节 　　I was forced to pull over to the side of the lonely road．My heart raced with fear as I watched the biker approach my car．He stopped his motorcycle， took off his helmet， and walked towards me with that same strange smile．I rolled down the window slightly， ready to drive away at any moment．But to my surprise， he reached into his pocket and pulled out my wallet．“You dropped this at the apartment，” he said．I was shocked．I hadn’t even realized I’d lost it．I felt a rush of embarrassment for misjudging him． 　　Obviously， the young man came to return it．I thanked him from the bottom of my heart， feeling a deep sense of shame for my initial thoughts．Sensing it， he just laughed and said，“We may look rough， but we’re not bad guys．” His words made me realize I shouldn’t judge people by their appearance．As he rode away， I sat there for a moment， reflecting on this unexpected encounter．This experience taught me a valuable lesson about kindness and not making hasty judgments．Then， I drove off， feeling a newfound warmth in my heart． 13 / 13 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
