That conversation stayed with him. A few years later, Brad decided to take a weekend road trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and asked Grandma if she’d like to join him. Thankfully, his grandmother jumped at the chance. At 85, she saw her first mountain, climbed her first mountain and went camping for the first time. While he knew that the fun might be ruined (毁灭) when he travelled with an elderly person, Brad quickly found that this wasn’t the case. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It made the experience of being in the great outdoors much richer because having to move more slowly meant he was able to appreciate everything in a more meaningful way. The first trip planted a seed of joy inside Brad that had been missing, and he was excited to see how much Grandma had enjoyed the experience. To keep their adventure going, the pair made a plan to travel to the other 62 US National Parks together. Such a challenge would be a huge achievement for most hikers, let alone an elderly woman with limited hiking experience, so they decided to take their time with it. It took them nearly eight years to do it. Brad said that the lens (镜头) through which Grandma was seeing the world was very different from most people of his age because she didn’t visit a site thinking, “Well, I’ll be back again,” so there was more presence. After reaching their final stop, the National Park of American Samoa in the South Pacific, in 2023, they became closer than ever and eventually decided on trying to travel to every continent (大陆) in the world. 24．(2.5分)What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To sum up the whole story. B．To show Brad’s love for travelling. C．To explain Brad and his grandma’s trip reason. D．To describe the beautiful scenery during adventures. 25．(2.5分)What did Brad worry about at first on his first trip with his grandmother? A．High cost. B．Less fun. C．Bad weather. D．Poor health. 26．(2.5分)What did Brad think his grandma’s trip was like? A．She always felt very tired. B．She was close to giving up. C．She enjoyed it all the time. D．She was too old to go to many places. 27．(2.5分)What was Brad and his grandmother’s next plan? A．They would travel farther. B．They decided on the National Park. C．They wanted to have a break. D．They could post their stories online. 【答案】24．C 25．B 26．C 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了布拉德·瑞安和祖母乔伊·瑞安一起旅行探险的故事。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2010, while Brad Ryan described his previous adventures hiking and climbing a famous mountain, he learned that his grandmother Joy Ryan had never set eyes on a mountain, which was one of her lifelong regrets. That conversation stayed with him.(2010年，当布拉德·瑞安讲述他之前徒步旅行和攀登一座名山的冒险经历时，他得知他的祖母乔伊·瑞安从未见过山，这是她一生的遗憾之一。那次谈话一直萦绕在他心头)”可知，第一段主要讲述了布拉德得知祖母从未见过山，这成为她一生的遗憾之一，这个对话一直留在他的心里，从而引出了后文他和祖母一起去旅行的故事。所以第一段的作用是解释布拉德和他祖母旅行的原因。故选C项。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段中“While he knew that the fun might be ruined (毁灭) when he travelled with an elderly person, Brad quickly found that this wasn’t the case.(虽然他知道和一位老人一起旅行可能会破坏乐趣，但布拉德很快发现事实并非如此)”可知，一开始布拉德担心和祖母一起旅行乐趣会减少。故选B项。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The first trip planted a seed of joy inside Brad that had been missing, and he was excited to see how much Grandma had enjoyed the experience.(第一次旅行在布拉德心中种下了一颗快乐的种子，他很高兴看到祖母如此享受这次经历)”以及第五段中“Brad said that the lens (镜头) through which Grandma was seeing the world was very different from most people of his age because she didn’t visit a site thinking, “Well, I’ll be back again,” so there was more presence.(布拉德说，祖母看世界的视角与他这个年龄的大多数人非常不同，因为她参观一个地方时不会想，“嗯，我还会再来的”，所以她更投入)”可知，布拉德认为祖母一直很享受这次旅行。故选C项。 27．细节理解题。根据最后一段“After reaching their final stop, the National Park of American Samoa in the South Pacific, in 2023, they became closer than ever and eventually decided on trying to travel to every continent (大陆) in the world.(2023年，他们到达了最后一站——南太平洋的美国萨摩亚国家公园，他们比以往任何时候都更亲密，最终决定尝试去世界上的每一个大陆旅行)”可知，布拉德和他祖母的下一个计划是去更远的地方旅行，即去世界上的每一个大陆旅行。故选A项。 （本题10分）In our exploration of literature this month, My Name is Miene stands out as an appealing comic essay that has captured the hearts of many on social media. The fictional character, Miene, is a blind kitten who finds herself in a risky situation after getting separated from her mother and hurting her paw, all while being chased by a crow. Ultimately, she is rescued and finds a home with a caring family.

The rich narrative not only entertains but also evokes a profound appreciation for life and existence.

Despite Rina's heartfelt intentions, Miene dashes around energetically, representing the spirit of adventure and resilience. This portrayal resonates with anyone who has faced trials but still embraces life bravely, making the reading experience both enjoyable and meaningful. There are numerous interesting works that can make one lose track of time, and such a unique narrative is surely not to be missed. 28．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Miene from paragraph 1?

Her perception of life, relying on her other senses instead of sight, offers a heartwarming perspective that encourages readers to cheer for her. (故事讲述了米恩既搞笑又心酸的旅程，她在可怕的世界中挣扎，对抗恐惧与痛苦。她依靠其他感官而非视觉感知生活，给人一种温暖的视角，鼓励读者为她加油。)”可知，米恩的故事融合了困境与温暖。故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“One striking feature of this work is its substantial amount of text. The book is loaded with a remarkable amount of written content, surprising for a comic essay, filled with hand-drawn letters that create an extraordinary rhythm between the illustrations. (这部作品一个显著的特点是文本量巨大。这本书有非常多的文字内容，对于一篇漫画散文来说令人惊讶，书中充满了手绘文字，在插图之间营造出一种非凡的节奏。)”可知，这本书与其他漫画散文的不同之处在于它包含大量的文字内容。故选B。 30．词句猜测题。根据第三段“A particularly touching scene is when the lady of the house, Rina, decides to adopt Miene, extending her hand and saying, “I will give you my twenty years”, which showcases the deep commitment one needs to take on such responsibility.  (一个特别感人的场景是，房子的女主人莉娜决定收养米恩，她伸出手说：“我会给你我的二十年”，这展现了承担这份责任所需的坚定承诺。)”可知，划线句子传达的是莉娜对照顾米恩的长久承诺。故选D。 31．推理判断题。文章讲述盲猫米恩虽遭遇不幸、身处困境，但最终被救助、被收养，收获温暖与爱，传递出“黑暗中总有希望，困境中总有光明”的寓意。C选项“Every cloud has a silver lining. (黑暗中总有一线光明。)”最能呼应本书。故选C。 （本题10分）As birth order (出生顺序) is clearly one of the many reasons that affect development, we should pay much attention to it. Big brothers and sisters usually develop leadership early in life, mainly because of the responsibilities for younger children given to them by their parents. The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限), he or she can become an overbearing person who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders. Studies of nearly 300 people have found that a person’s first child is usually the most strongly motivated towards achievement. This is mainly the result of parental expectations. Research also suggests that firstborn children generally become more conservative than other children because they receive most of the parental orders and rules. Used to caring for others, they are more likely to move towards such leadership professions as teaching and politics. Less social and flexible because they become accustomed in the very early years to acting alone, they may have difficulty making close friends. By contrast, the researchers say later children are more likely to be more relaxed and sociable than the eldest child because their parents are more relaxed. However, later children are often less ambitious and may be uncomfortable making decisions for others, and will seek work that fits their needs. This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing. Later children may be good sellers because persuasion (劝说) may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children. Younger children tend to remain forever “the baby” enjoyable to be around, but at times too dependent on others. 32．(2.5分)What can we infer from the first paragraph? A．Birth order is the top factor influencing a person’s development. B．Older siblings’ early leadership has nothing to do with their parents. C．An older child may be unwilling to accept others’ opinions. D．All elder brothers and sisters will turn into overbearing people eventually. 33．(2.5分)What might a younger child want to be according to the passage? A．A librarian. B．A doctor. C．A writer. D．A teacher. 34．(2.5分)Why may later children become good sellers? A．They feel uneasy when making decisions for other people. B．They are very good at persuading others. C．They have great wishes to develop leadership. D．They are good at selling books and enjoying freedom. 35．(2.5分)What’s the best title for this passage? A．Which Is Better: Being the Eldest or the Youngest? B．Birth Order and Marriage C．The Relation Between Birth Order and Job Success D．Effects of Birth Order on One’s Personality 【答案】32．C 33．C 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了出生顺序对个人性格的影响，包括长子长女和排行靠后的孩子各自的特点以及这些特点如何影响他们的职业选择。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第一段“The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限), he or she can become an overbearing person who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders.(危险在于，如果年长的孩子将这种角色发挥到极致，他或她可能会成为一个专横的人，不听取别人的意见，因为他们认为自己是领导者。)”可知，年长的孩子如果将领导角色发挥到极致，可能会变得专横，不愿意听取他人意见。所以，我们可以推断出一个年长的孩子可能不愿意接受别人的意见。故选C项。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing.(这可能有助于解释为什么年幼的孩子容易喜欢音乐、艺术和写作等工作。)”可知，年幼的孩子可能喜欢音乐、艺术和写作等工作，因此他们可能想成为一名作家。故选C项。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段“Later children may be good sellers because persuasion (劝说) may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children.(排行靠后的孩子可能是很好的推销员，因为劝说可能是他们与年长孩子打交道的唯一工具。)”可知，排行靠后的孩子可能很擅长劝说别人，因此他们可能成为很好的推销员。故选B项。 35．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，文章主要讨论了出生顺序对个人性格的影响，包括长子长女和排行靠后的孩子各自的特点以及这些特点如何影响他们的职业选择。因此，最适合本文的标题是“Effects of Birth Order on One’s Personality(出生顺序对个人性格的影响)”。故选D项。 （本题12.5分）On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley’s mother gave him an old microscope. It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake (雪花) with the device. 36(2.5分) When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. Bentley then spent 2 years figuring out how to take a picture of a snowflake under a microscope. On January 15, 1885, he did it, creating the world’s first photomicrograph. 37(2.5分) Outdoors, he collected snowflakes on a wooden tray that was painted black. Once inside, while still wearing big gloves to keep his hands warm, he used a straw (吸管) to pick up the snowflake and place it on a microscope slide. Then being careful not to breathe on the flake, he quickly examined and photographed it. Taking photomicrographs was only half of a long process. In those days, glass plates (感光板) were used to take photographs. Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. 38(2.5分) Bentley shared his snowflakes with anyone interested. He sold prints of his photomicrographs for 5 cents each. He wrote articles for scientists and for magazines such as National Geographic. Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. 39(2.5分) At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” 40(2.5分) In 1920, Bentley was elected as one of the first members of the American Meteorological Society, which later awarded him its first research grant in 1924. A．Still, he never stopped. B．The process was difficult and cold. C．Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. D．Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. E．Sometimes he handled the snowflake with a feather. F．He dedicated himself to observing flakes of snow for 60 years. G．This was the beginning of a fascination that lasted the rest of his life. 【答案】36．G 37．B 38．C 39．A 40．D 【导语】文章讲述了Wilson Bentley从15岁迷恋雪花开始，通过自制设备拍摄世界上首张雪花显微照片，并克服严寒与技术困难持续研究多年，最终其成果获得认可。 【详解】36．上文“On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley’s mother gave him an old microscope. It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake (雪花) with the device. (在Wilson Bentley 15岁生日那天，他的母亲送给他一台旧显微镜。那天正在下雪，这个男孩用这台仪器成功地看到了一个六边形的雪花。)”讲述Bentley在15岁生日时首次用显微镜看到六边形雪花，下文“When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. (在他17岁那年，Bentley请求父母给他买一台新的、更好的显微镜以及一台相机。)”提到他在17岁时想要更好的显微镜和相机，因此G项“This was the beginning of a fascination that lasted the rest of his life. (这是他终生迷恋雪花的开端。)”符合语境，指出首次看到雪花的经历对他产生了深远影响，承上启下。 37．下文“Outdoors, he collected snowflakes on a wooden tray that was painted black. Once inside, while still wearing big gloves to keep his hands warm, he used a straw (吸管) to pick up the snowflake and place it on a microscope slide. Then being careful not to breathe on the flake, he quickly examined and photographed it. (在户外，他将雪花收集在一块涂成黑色的木托盘里。回到室内后，尽管仍戴着大手套以保持双手温暖，他还是用一根吸管将雪花吸起，并将其放在显微镜载玻片上。然后，他小心翼翼地避免对着雪花哈气，迅速对其进行观察并拍照。)”详细描述他在户外收集雪花、用吸管移动雪花、小心避免呼吸影响等细节，因此B项“The process was difficult and cold. (这个过程既困难又寒冷。)”符合语境，可作为段首句概括这一段的主题，统领下文。 38．上文“Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. (Bentley在楼梯下的一间暗室里冲洗这些感光板，然后把感光板拿到附近的小溪里冲洗。)”描述他冲洗感光板的方法和过程，因此C项“Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. (有时他在黑暗中夜间进行。)”符合语境，补充说明他冲洗感光板的另一方法，和上文是并列关系。 39．上文“Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. (有时，他会感到有些沮丧，因为似乎很少有人关心他的工作。)”提到他有时会沮丧，下文“At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. (在65岁那年，他拍摄了自己第5000片雪花的照片。)”表明他仍坚持着这项热爱，因此A项“Still, he never stopped. (尽管如此，他从未停止。)”符合语境，和上文构成转折，衔接下文的坚持。 40．上文“Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” (渐渐地，人们开始对他产生了兴趣。记者们有时会来到他家门前。人们开始称他为“雪花先生”和“Bentley教授”。)”指出他受到关注，并列举具体事例佐证，因此D项“Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. (珠宝制造商仿制雪花设计。)”符合语境，说明他的工作启发了艺术和商业领域，和上文的事例并列，句式相仿，共同支撑段首提到的关注。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）At 73, Anil Kapoor had already retired from a successful business career.

We can’t do anything about it,” the stewardess said gently, trying to persuade the businessman who had a glare on his face. “That seems unlikely,” Franklin said, loud enough for nearby rows to hear. “These seats require a certain... well, given the fare structure, I’m sure the airline has verification (验证) procedures.” He glanced at Stella’s outfit, then back to the stewardess. “I’m merely concerned about system integrity.” Other passengers in business class turned to look at them, and Stella looked down at her feet. The argument continued, and it was delaying filling the plane. Several other stewardesses showed up, trying to calm Franklin down. Surprisingly, a few passengers agreed with the businessman. They agreed that the woman couldn’t possibly have paid for the seat and told her to get out. But more stayed silent, looking uncomfortable. It was the most shameful experience of Stella’s life, and finally, she calmed down. “Miss, it’s OK. If you have another seat in economy, I’ll stay there. I spent all my savings on this seat, but it’s better not to trouble others,” she said, placing her hand on the stewardess’ arm gently. Her voice trembled, but her back was straight. She had survived worse — poverty, loneliness, and now this. She wouldn’t let them break her dignity. The stewardess had already been so kind to her because Stella got lost at the airport. She was 85 years old and had never traveled in her lifetime. Therefore, the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport had been pretty confusing. But the airline finally assigned her a stewardess, who accompanied her through the entire process, and they finally reached her flight, which was departing for New York. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The stewardess wouldn’t give in. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing Stella’s words, the businessman felt more than guilty. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： The stewardess wouldn’t give in. She faced Franklin squarely, her eyes steady and unwavering. She said, “Sir, I understand your frustration, but this lady has every right for her seat. She’s gone through a lot to get here today.” Then, turning to Stella, she said gently, “You don’t have to move, ma’am. This is your seat.” Stella took a deep breath and looked up at Franklin, her voice steady but tinged with a hint of sadness. “I’ve saved for a long time to take this trip. I know I don’t look like I belong here, but I’ve worked hard for this.” Her words were simple, yet they carried a weight that made the other passengers pause and reflect. Hearing Stella’s words, the businessman felt more than guilty. His face flushed with shame as he realized the depth of his prejudice and the hurt he had caused. Slowly, he stood up, head bowed. “I was wrong to judge you based on appearances. I’m truly sorry for my behavior,” he said sincerely. Stella looked at him, her expression softening. “We all make mistakes,” she replied gently. The other passengers, moved by the exchange, also apologized to Stella. The stewardess, relieved, helped Stella settle into her seat. As the plane began to move, Stella took a deep breath, grateful for the unexpected turn of events and the kindness that had emerged. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。富商富兰克林因不愿与老妇人斯特拉邻座，当众刁难并质疑其购飞机票资格，引发其他乘客议论。 【详解】1.段落续写 ① 由第一段句首内容“乘务员坚决不肯让步。”可知，第一段可以描写乘务员坚定地维护斯特拉的座位权益，斯特拉鼓起勇气向富兰克林诉说自己为这趟旅程的付出，她的话让在场乘客陷入反思的过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“听到斯特拉的这番话，这位商人心中涌起的不只是愧疚。”可知，第二段可以描写富兰克林因自己的偏见感到羞愧并诚恳道歉，斯特拉选择宽容原谅，其他乘客也纷纷致歉，最终斯特拉安心落座，心怀感激地迎来旅程。 2.续写线索：乘务员据理力争 —— 斯特拉诉说付出 —— 富兰克林心生愧疚 —— 诚恳道歉求原谅 —— 众人致歉显善意 —— 斯特拉感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①面对：face/confront ②移动：move/shift/relocate ③帮助：help/assist 情绪类： ①伤心：sadness/sorrow/grief ②感激：grateful/thankful/appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her words were simple, yet they carried a weight that made the other passengers pause and reflect.(运用了that引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】As the plane began to move, Stella took a deep breath, grateful for the unexpected turn of events and the kindness that had emerged.(运用了As引导的时间状语从句) 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 2 Let’s Talk Teens（较易版02）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分） Who’s the woman most probably?

That conversation stayed with him. A few years later, Brad decided to take a weekend road trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and asked Grandma if she’d like to join him. Thankfully, his grandmother jumped at the chance. At 85, she saw her first mountain, climbed her first mountain and went camping for the first time. While he knew that the fun might be ruined (毁灭) when he travelled with an elderly person, Brad quickly found that this wasn’t the case. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It made the experience of being in the great outdoors much richer because having to move more slowly meant he was able to appreciate everything in a more meaningful way. The first trip planted a seed of joy inside Brad that had been missing, and he was excited to see how much Grandma had enjoyed the experience. To keep their adventure going, the pair made a plan to travel to the other 62 US National Parks together. Such a challenge would be a huge achievement for most hikers, let alone an elderly woman with limited hiking experience, so they decided to take their time with it. It took them nearly eight years to do it. Brad said that the lens (镜头) through which Grandma was seeing the world was very different from most people of his age because she didn’t visit a site thinking, “Well, I’ll be back again,” so there was more presence. After reaching their final stop, the National Park of American Samoa in the South Pacific, in 2023, they became closer than ever and eventually decided on trying to travel to every continent (大陆) in the world. 24．(2.5分)What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To sum up the whole story. B．To show Brad’s love for travelling. C．To explain Brad and his grandma’s trip reason. D．To describe the beautiful scenery during adventures. 25．(2.5分)What did Brad worry about at first on his first trip with his grandmother? A．High cost. B．Less fun. C．Bad weather. D．Poor health. 26．(2.5分)What did Brad think his grandma’s trip was like? A．She always felt very tired. B．She was close to giving up. C．She enjoyed it all the time. D．She was too old to go to many places. 27．(2.5分)What was Brad and his grandmother’s next plan? A．They would travel farther. B．They decided on the National Park. C．They wanted to have a break. D．They could post their stories online. （本题10分）In our exploration of literature this month, My Name is Miene stands out as an appealing comic essay that has captured the hearts of many on social media. The fictional character, Miene, is a blind kitten who finds herself in a risky situation after getting separated from her mother and hurting her paw, all while being chased by a crow. Ultimately, she is rescued and finds a home with a caring family. The narrative follows Miene's comedic yet poignant journey as she navigates the frightening world around her, struggling against her fears and pain. Her perception of life, relying on her other senses instead of sight, offers a heartwarming perspective that encourages readers to cheer for her. One striking feature of this work is its substantial amount of text. The book is loaded with a remarkable amount of written content, surprising for a comic essay, filled with hand-drawn letters that create an extraordinary rhythm between the illustrations. The combination of text and visuals is so impressive that readers often laugh out loud when recalling its funny moments, even after closing the book.

Big brothers and sisters usually develop leadership early in life, mainly because of the responsibilities for younger children given to them by their parents. The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限), he or she can become an overbearing person who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders. Studies of nearly 300 people have found that a person’s first child is usually the most strongly motivated towards achievement. This is mainly the result of parental expectations. Research also suggests that firstborn children generally become more conservative than other children because they receive most of the parental orders and rules. Used to caring for others, they are more likely to move towards such leadership professions as teaching and politics. Less social and flexible because they become accustomed in the very early years to acting alone, they may have difficulty making close friends. By contrast, the researchers say later children are more likely to be more relaxed and sociable than the eldest child because their parents are more relaxed. However, later children are often less ambitious and may be uncomfortable making decisions for others, and will seek work that fits their needs. This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing. Later children may be good sellers because persuasion (劝说) may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children. Younger children tend to remain forever “the baby” enjoyable to be around, but at times too dependent on others. 32．(2.5分)What can we infer from the first paragraph? A．Birth order is the top factor influencing a person’s development. B．Older siblings’ early leadership has nothing to do with their parents. C．An older child may be unwilling to accept others’ opinions. D．All elder brothers and sisters will turn into overbearing people eventually. 33．(2.5分)What might a younger child want to be according to the passage? A．A librarian. B．A doctor. C．A writer. D．A teacher. 34．(2.5分)Why may later children become good sellers? A．They feel uneasy when making decisions for other people. B．They are very good at persuading others. C．They have great wishes to develop leadership. D．They are good at selling books and enjoying freedom. 35．(2.5分)What’s the best title for this passage? A．Which Is Better: Being the Eldest or the Youngest? B．Birth Order and Marriage C．The Relation Between Birth Order and Job Success D．Effects of Birth Order on One’s Personality （本题12.5分）On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley’s mother gave him an old microscope. It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake (雪花) with the device. 36(2.5分) When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. Bentley then spent 2 years figuring out how to take a picture of a snowflake under a microscope. On January 15, 1885, he did it, creating the world’s first photomicrograph. 37(2.5分) Outdoors, he collected snowflakes on a wooden tray that was painted black. Once inside, while still wearing big gloves to keep his hands warm, he used a straw (吸管) to pick up the snowflake and place it on a microscope slide. Then being careful not to breathe on the flake, he quickly examined and photographed it. Taking photomicrographs was only half of a long process. In those days, glass plates (感光板) were used to take photographs. Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. 38(2.5分) Bentley shared his snowflakes with anyone interested. He sold prints of his photomicrographs for 5 cents each. He wrote articles for scientists and for magazines such as National Geographic. Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. 39(2.5分) At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” 40(2.5分) In 1920, Bentley was elected as one of the first members of the American Meteorological Society, which later awarded him its first research grant in 1924. A．Still, he never stopped. B．The process was difficult and cold. C．Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. D．Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. E．Sometimes he handled the snowflake with a feather. F．He dedicated himself to observing flakes of snow for 60 years. G．This was the beginning of a fascination that lasted the rest of his life. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）At 73, Anil Kapoor had already retired from a successful business career.

We can’t do anything about it,” the stewardess said gently, trying to persuade the businessman who had a glare on his face. “That seems unlikely,” Franklin said, loud enough for nearby rows to hear. “These seats require a certain... well, given the fare structure, I’m sure the airline has verification (验证) procedures.” He glanced at Stella’s outfit, then back to the stewardess. “I’m merely concerned about system integrity.” Other passengers in business class turned to look at them, and Stella looked down at her feet. The argument continued, and it was delaying filling the plane. Several other stewardesses showed up, trying to calm Franklin down. Surprisingly, a few passengers agreed with the businessman. They agreed that the woman couldn’t possibly have paid for the seat and told her to get out. But more stayed silent, looking uncomfortable. It was the most shameful experience of Stella’s life, and finally, she calmed down. “Miss, it’s OK. If you have another seat in economy, I’ll stay there. I spent all my savings on this seat, but it’s better not to trouble others,” she said, placing her hand on the stewardess’ arm gently. Her voice trembled, but her back was straight. She had survived worse — poverty, loneliness, and now this. She wouldn’t let them break her dignity. The stewardess had already been so kind to her because Stella got lost at the airport. She was 85 years old and had never traveled in her lifetime. Therefore, the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport had been pretty confusing. But the airline finally assigned her a stewardess, who accompanied her through the entire process, and they finally reached her flight, which was departing for New York. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The stewardess wouldn’t give in. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing Stella’s words, the businessman felt more than guilty. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
