W: But how did you decide Did you immediately know that you liked history
M: Well, I definitely enjoyed it. But there were also a lot of things I didn’t get to study very closely in high school, so I thought college might be a good time to explore some different subjects. My mom even suggested that I take some classes in economics.
W: Really I have no idea. Grandma doesn’t ever talk about that kind of stuff either. But she has always seemed to be supportive of whatever you do.
M: At the time, she just thought that there might be more opportunities for me later if I picked economics. And I did like studying it.
W: But in the end you still chose history. And it worked out too. You love your job as a professor. But how did that happen
M: I took many interesting classes during college. But within the first year, I realized that when I studied history, I always wanted to learn more than just what was being taught in class. For other subjects, I seldom found myself researching things for fun. So that’s why I chose it as my major.
W: Well, I really hope I can find something that interests me that much.

18. Why might “clean meat” be popular
A. It is good to human and nature.
B. It deals with food shortages.
C. It proves a scientific theory.
19. How much of the global meat industry might “clean meat” occupy
A. A half. B. A third. C. A tenth.
20. What is special about Eat Just’s product
A. It uses different plants. B. It uses plant cells. C. It uses animal cells.
【答案】18. A 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】Singapore has given approval for the world’s first “clean meat”. This kind of meat does not come from dead animals. The decision enables Eat Just, a company in San Francisco, to sell lab-grown chicken meat. However, when it will become available is unknown. As people care about health, animal welfare and the environment, their demand for alternatives to regular meat has increased. According to Barclays Bank, the market for meat alternatives could be worth $140 billion within the next decade, or about 10 percent of the $1.4 trillion global meat industry. Plant-based meat options are increasingly found on supermarket shelves and restaurant menus. But Eat Just’s product is different because it is not plant-based. Instead, it’s grown from animal muscle cells. The company calls it a “breakthrough for the global food industry”, and hopes other countries will also do so. Over the last ten years, dozens of new companies have tried to bring artificial meat to market. They hoped to win over conventional meat eaters with the promise of a more animal-friendly product. Now, companies are trying hard to enter the market with cheap and tasty lab-grown meats. While many have spoken about the environmental benefits, some scientists say it might be worse for climate change under some conditions.

In 1997, the Hungarian biochemist Katalin Kariko met another struggling researcher, the American immunologist Drew Weissman, as they queued to photocopy scientific papers at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). The two scientists found they followed the same research direction and decided to cooperate. Now, their partnership achieved the peak of scientific recognition. They jointly won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. But while both scientists endured years of professional struggle on the way to the huge success, Kariko had to overcome greater setbacks than Weissman. For decades she never found a permanent position.
Having grown up in a village in a house without running water or a refrigerator, Kariko got a biochemistry doctorate in Szeged before she and her husband sold their car, sewed some cash into their toddler daughter’s teddy bear and went to the U. S. on a one-way ticket. The daughter became a U. S. national rower and Olympic gold winner.
Kariko worked in a few different research jobs before landing a junior position at the UPenn. And for many years her career at the UPenn was fragile. She migrated from lab to lab, relying on one senior scientist after another to take her in. She never made more than $60, 000 a year. She struggled to raise the grant funding essential for a scientific career. Kariko said she endured ridicule (奚落) from university colleagues for her pursuit. In 2013, Kariko “was kicked out from UPenn— forced to retire”. The university told her that her work was not of faculty quality, she said in an interview. Yet the scientist’s commitment to her work didn’t change at all. “When I was fired, I didn’t feel sorry for myself, ”she said. “I have to focus all the energy on seeking out what’s next. ”
In a news conference held at UPenn, she encouraged young scientists to love learning to solve problems and to be prepared for failure. “You have to learn how to handle the failure, because most of the time, we don’t understand-we make an experiment and the outcome is not what we want, ” Kariko said. Researchers in Kariko’s field are full of admiration for her generosity and persistence. “She is really the symbol of perseverance and what it takes to be a great researcher, ”Elliot Barnathan, a cardiologist who hired Kariko, said.
24. What was a major contributor to the cooperation of Kariko and Weissman
A. An accidental encounter. B. Shared scientific interest.
C. Pursuit of the Nobel Prize. D. Demand for photocopying.
25. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3
A. The research at the Upenn was rewarding. B. She was fired because of her casual attitude.
C. The career made her psychologically weak. D. She didn’t get the recognition she deserved.
26. How did Kariko react to her dismissal from UPenn
A. She criticized her lab colleagues. B. She switched her career goal.
C. She stuck to her original belief. D. She abandoned her research work.
27. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text
A. To inform readers of Kariko’s latest research.
B. To reveal the fierce competition in universities.
C. To applaud the cooperation between scientists.
D To highlight a scientist’s extraordinary quality.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章旨在通过Kariko的故事展现一位科学家如何在面对行业内的困难和未获得认可的情况下，坚持自己的科学追求，井最终获得成功和认可。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The two scientists found they followed the same research direction and decided to cooperate.(两位科学家发现他们遵循相同的研究方向，并决定合作)”可知，卡里科和韦斯曼合作的主要原因是共同的科学兴趣。故选B。

推理判断题。根据第三段“She migrated from lab to lab, relying on one senior scientist after another to take her in. She never made more than $60, 000 a year. She struggled to raise the grant funding essential for a scientific career. Kariko said she endured ridicule (奚落) from university colleagues for her pursuit. In 2013, Kariko “was kicked out from UPenn— forced to retire”. The university told her that her work was not of faculty quality, she said in an interview.(她从一个实验室搬到另一个实验室，依靠一个又一个资深科学家收留她。她一年的收入从未超过6万美元。她努力筹措科学事业所必需的经费。Kariko说，她因为自己的追求而遭受了大学同事的嘲笑。2013年，Kariko“被宾夕法尼亚大学开除——被迫退休”。她在一次采访中说，学校告诉她，她的工作不符合教师的素质)”可推知，划线句表明她没有得到应有的认可。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Yet the scientist’s commitment to her work didn’t change at all. “When I was fired, I didn’t feel sorry for myself, ”she said. “I have to focus all the energy on seeking out what’s next. ”(然而，这位科学家对工作的投入丝毫没有改变。“当我被解雇时，我并没有为自己感到难过，”她说。“我必须把所有的精力都集中在寻找下一步。”)”可知，Kariko被宾夕法尼亚大学开除后，仍然坚持她最初的信仰。故选C。

C
Catfish effect is the effect that a strong competitor has in causing the weak to better themselves. Actions done to actively apply this effect in an organization are termed catfish management.
In Norway, live sardines are several times more expensive than frozen ones, and are valued for better texture and flavor. It was said that only one ship could bring live sardines home, and the shipmaster kept his method a secret. After he died, people found that there was one catfish in the tank. The catfish keeps swimming, and the sardines try to avoid this predator (捕食者). This increased level of activity keeps the sardines active, thus, increasing their survival rate greatly.
Catfish effect has been one of the hottest topics in human resources management. Therefore, I will keep the explanation short and sweet. When an outsider joins a well-established team as a competitor, he causes the weak to better their performance. This method is meant to motivate each of the teammates to feel the competition in order to keep up the competitiveness level of the whole team.
However, adding a catfish in the team can also bring in the downside in the group’s dynamics.
The team would go back to the storming stage. Under-performers would become more negative about the change that the catfish tried to implement (实施) because they would see it as a threat. The failed attempt of implementation of changing will create under-performance in the team as a whole, which will lead to a greater management challenge.
The key employee or backbone employee will feel demotivated because the opportunity to get a more senior job has decreased. If there are too many catfish in the company, this would generate a stressful work environment. The employee would constantly worry if they are being “preyed” by the catfish. The mental burden would create a harmful corporate culture and increase the distrust between employees.
A high standard is required on the catfish. The catfish would eventually turn into a leading role in the team. Lack in leadership skill from the catfish would lead to a bigger chaos in the workplace. Worst situation would be setting up a bad leadership role model to further an unhealthy competitive environment.
28. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. The magic trick of catching sardines. B. The underlying logic of the effect.
C. The exact origin of the legend. D. The great wisdom of a catfish.
29. What may a catfish mean to backbones of the company
A. Unfair corporate culture. B. Violent work environment.
C. Great management challenge. D. Reduced promotion chance.
30. Which might be the solution to the downside of a catfish
A. Qualifying a catfish for a leading role. B. Setting up a harmonious relationship.
C. Creating a less competitive workplace. D. Stopping a catfish entering a company.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards adding a catfish in the company
A. Subjective. B. Pessimistic. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讨论了鲶鱼效应及其在组织中的应用，包括对团队竞争性的提高和潜在的负面后果，强调了鲶鱼在团队中的领导角色的重要性。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“In Norway, live sardines are several times more expensive than frozen ones, and are valued for better texture and flavor. It was said that only one ship could bring live sardines home, and the shipmaster kept his method a secret. After he died, people found that there was one catfish in the tank. The catfish keeps swimming, and the sardines try to avoid this predator (捕食者). This increased level of activity keeps the sardines active, thus, increasing their survival rate greatly.(在挪威，活沙丁鱼比冷冻沙丁鱼贵好几倍，而且口感和味道更好。据说只有一艘船能把活沙丁鱼带回家，船长对他的方法保密。他死后，人们发现鱼缸里有一条鲶鱼。鲶鱼一直在游，沙丁鱼试图避开这个捕食者。这种增加的活动水平使沙丁鱼保持活跃，从而大大提高了它们的存活率)”可知，文章第二段主要讲的是鲶鱼效应的潜在逻辑。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The key employee or backbone employee will feel demotivated because the opportunity to get a more senior job has decreased.(关键员工或骨干员工会感到失去动力，因为获得更高职位的机会减少了)”可知，公司的骨干员工或关键员工会因为晋升机会减少而感到动力不足。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“A high standard is required on the catfish. The catfish would eventually turn into a leading role in the team.(鲶鱼的质量要求很高。鲶鱼最终成为了团队中的主角)”可知，通过提高鲶鱼的领导资格和标准，可以缓解其带来的负面效应。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据整篇文章的论调既讨论了鲶鱼效应的积极作用，也探讨了其可能产生的负面影响，展示了对鲶鱼管理策略的平衡看法。这体现了作者试图从客观的角度去评价这种效应及其在企业管理中的应用。由此推知，作者对在公司增加一条鲶鱼持客观的态度。故选C。
D
Why do we find ugly animals so appealing And what makes odd-looking creatures so cute
Evolution plays a role. According to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz, human attraction to infantile (婴儿的) features, such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for their offspring, guaranteeing the survival of their species. Odd-looking animals such as blobfish, pugs, aye-ayes and bulldogs all share these infantile qualities that trigger an affectionate response among humans and an natural instinct (本能) to nurture and protect. And these infantile characteristics increase a person’s protective behavior, attention and willingness to care for the individual and reduce the likelihood of aggression towards an infant, says Marta Borgi, a researcher.
Ugly animals often have other value-some, like the blobfish or the naked mole rat, live in extreme environments that they have adapted to in remarkable ways. Scientists are keen to study these animals to understand whether their biology might provide fresh insights that could lead to treatments for human health conditions such as cancer, heart disease and neurodegenerative diseases.
But while many ugly creatures are adapted to their life in the wild and can provide enormous benefits to the ecosystems they live in, they often still don’t get as much attention as more traditionally cute animals. This can result in a prejudice which leads to many of the less attractive species being overlooked in terms of research.
There are other culture-led factors that also drive our obsession (痴迷) with ugly-cute animals. “The ugly-cute thing is very fashionable,” says Rowena Packer, a lecturer of animal behavior. This is partly driven by social media, with many celebrities and influencers showing off pet pugs and French bulldogs on Instagram, she says.
But there are some serious welfare concerns around this trend. Veterinarians are urging people not to choose a flat-faced dog breed (品种), because they suffer from serious health problems. Pugs and French bulldogs which have been selectively bred experience breathing difficulties, repeated skin infections and eye diseases. So while ridiculous features such as bulging eyes and wrinkly faces may make us smile, we might want to reconsider our obsession with “ugly-cute” pets.
32. What features of animals might stimulate human’s love for them
A. Unusual Body shapes. B. Different color patterns.
C. Soft bodies and cute looks. D. Baby-like facial expressions.
33. Why are scientists keen on the research into ugly animals
A. To gain new insights into their living habits.
B. To develop certain cures for human diseases.
C. To find ways to survive extreme environments.
D. To explore reasons for their strange appearances.
34. What has contributed to people’s craziness about ugly-cute animals
A. The appeal from celebrities. B. The need of the community.
C. The proposal from an expert. D. The influence of social media.
35. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text
A. Be a wise ugly-cute animal lover B. Develop the protective behavior
C. Follow in influencers’ footsteps D. Adopt more odd-looking animals
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】

【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“This is partly driven by social media, with many celebrities and influencers showing off pet pugs and French bulldogs on Instagram, she says.(她说，这在一定程度上是由社交媒体推动的，许多名人和有影响力的人在Instagram上展示宠物哈巴狗和法国斗牛犬)”可知，社交媒体的影响导致了人们对又丑又可爱的动物的狂热。故选D。

主旨大意题。根据第一段“Why do we find ugly animals so appealing And what makes odd-looking creatures so cute (为什么我们觉得丑陋的动物如此有吸引力？是什么让长相奇怪的生物如此可爱？)”以及文章提及了对“丑萌”动物的喜爱应基于对它们特性的理解，并关注这种趋势可能带来的健康问题，也就是说，我们应该明智地爱这些“丑萌”动物，而不仅仅是追随潮流。由此可知，A选项“做一个明智的丑萌动物爱好者”最符合文章标题。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是生活中“做减法”的意义以及在生活各方面如何“做减法”的建议。
【36题详解】
根据空前“In a world obsessed with “more,” it’s easy to overlook the power of subtraction(减法). We’re constantly bombed with messages telling us that we need more stuff, more money, and more followers.”(在一个痴迷于“更多”的世界里，很容易忽视减法的力量。我们持续不断地被各种信息轰炸，告诉我们要有更多的东西，更多的钱，更多的粉丝。)”可知本句强调了当今生活中主流的要做“加法”的思想，根据空后“Let’s explore the power of subtraction, and how less can truly mean more.(让我们来探索减法的力量，以及如何更少才能真正意味着更多。)”则强调了减法的力量，空处承上启下，所以空处应该缺少一个表示转折，并且是强调“减法”力量的句子，B项But what if less is the secret to happiness (但是，如果幸福的秘诀是少呢？)承接上文，引出下文，而且选项中的But表明空前后语意上是一种转折关系，符合上下文语境。故选B项。
【37题详解】
根据空前“We all have too much stuff. It’s time to clear up. Donate or sell what you don’t need or love. You’ll be amazed at how liberating it feels to live with less.(我们都有太多的东西。该打扫了。捐赠或出售你不需要或不喜欢的东西。你会惊奇地发现少花钱是多么的自由。)”可知此处讲的是应该捐出或出售自己不需要或不喜欢的东西，根据空后“The fewer possessions you have, the more you’ll appreciate what truly matters.(拥有越少的东西，你越会欣赏那些真正重要的东西。)”可知本句强调了东西的质量胜过于东西的数量，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是我们更应该注重东西的质量而不是数量，F项Embrace minimalism and focus on quality over quantity.(拥抱极简主义，注重质量而不是数量。)指出要注重质量而不是数量，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选F项。
【38题详解】
根据空前“In today’s fast-paced world, our attention is a valuable commodity.(在当今快节奏的世界里，我们的注意力是一种宝贵的商品。)”可知此处讲的是在当今快节奏的世界里，我们的注意力是非常宝贵的，根据后文“excessive social media scrolling, watching TV shows non stop or focusing too much attention on insignificant tasks is time-consuming(过度刷社交媒体，不停地看电视节目，或者把太多的注意力集中在无关紧要的任务上，这些都很耗时。)”可知本句话所提到的都是一些占据时间的不重要的活动，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是人们要学会辨别这些不重要的活动，避免浪费时间，D项 Identify meaningless activities that occupy your time.(找出那些占用你时间的无意义活动。)指出要找出占用时间的无意义的活动，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选D项。
【39题详解】
空处位于句首，应是对全段的概括，根据后文“Subtract the poisonous individuals and invest more time and energy into the friendships that genuinely enrich your life.(从你的生活中去掉那些有害的人，把时间投资在真正让你的生活变得丰富的友谊中。)”可知此处强调的是我们应该把时间投资在真正让自己的生活变得丰富的友谊中，所以空处应该讲这样做的原因是什么，选项E We must admit not all relationships are worth keeping. (我们必须承认并不是所有的关系都值得保持。)指出因为并不是所有的关系都值得保持，所以要学会辨别真正让自己生活变得丰富的友谊，对全段进行概括，符合上下文语境。故选E项。
【40题详解】
空处位于段末，应对前文进行总结，根据空前“Practice mindfulness techniques, such as yoga, to help clear your mind(练习专注的技巧，比如瑜伽，来帮助你理清思路。)”可知这是一个练习专注的建议，所以空处应该是这个建议所带来的结果，G选项Thus, you’ll make room for more optimism and creativity.(因此，你会为更多的乐观和创造力腾出空间。)指出练习专注的技巧的结果，对前文进行了总结，而且G项开头的Thus刚好可以引出结果，符合逻辑，与此同时G选项中的Optimism也与前文中的negative thought相对应，符合上下文语境。故选G项。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1. 5分, 满分15分)
阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Pillows have been used in China for thousands of years and hold a significant place in Chinese culture. In modem times, we enjoy a wide range of pillows___56___(fill) with synthetic fibers, down, or feathers. However, it is interesting to explore___57___ancient Chinese people used as pillows.
Based on historical records, the development of pillows in China can be learned___58___various materials. Pillows used to___59___(categorize)into hard and soft types, with stone and wooden pillows appearing earliest in history.
The origins of pillows can be traced back to the middle Paleolithic period. During that time, people___60___(unknowing)used objects like stones, sticks, or pieces of animal skin as head support, ___61___(serve)as the earliest prototypes(原型) of pillows.
References to pillows can also be found in historical documents in ancient China. For instance, a stanza of Shijing, the___62___(old)existing collection of Chinese poetry, ___63___(mention)a pillow, describing how a melancholic beauty finds it difficult to sleep.
During the Warring States period, pillows in China presented a certain level of craftsmanship and___64___(delicate). The earliest discovered pillow in China was a wooden one unearthed in___65___Chu state tomb.
【答案】56. filled

64. delicacy

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了枕头在中国文化中的地位，并追溯了枕头的发展历史。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在现代，我们喜欢各种各样用合成纤维、羽绒或羽毛填充的枕头。分析句式结构可知，此处用非谓语动词作后置定语，又因为fill和pillows之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填filled。
【57题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：然而，探索古代中国人用什么作为枕头是很有趣的。分析句式结构可知，此处是宾语从句，且从句中缺少宾语，所以用what来引导。故填what。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意：根据历史记载，枕头在中国的发展可以从各种材料中学习。根据空格前的learned可知，此处用介词through或from表示“从……中学习”故填through/from。
【59题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：枕头有硬枕头和软枕头之分，历史上最早出现的是石枕头和木枕头。分析句式结构可知，used to do sth是固定搭配表示“过去常常做某事”，所以此处用动词原形，又因为categorize和主语Pillows之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，即用be categorized表示“被分类”。故填be categorized。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意：在那个时期，人们不知不觉地使用石头、棍棒或动物皮片等物体作为头部支撑，这是最早的枕头原型。分析句式结构可知，此处用提示词的副词形式unknowingly作状语修饰动词used。故填unknowingly。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句式结构可知，此处用非谓语动词作状语，又因为serve和主语people之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语。故填serving。
【62题详解】
考查形容词的最高级。句意：例如，现存最古老的中国诗集《诗经》中的一节提到了一个枕头，描述了一个忧郁的美人如何难以入睡。分析句意再根据空格前的the可知，此处用形容词的最高级表示“最古老的”故填oldest。
【63题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：同上。分析句意可知，本句的时态为一般现在时，再分析句式结构可知，空格处是谓语的位置，因为主语a stanza of Shijing是单数，所以谓语动词用动词的第三人称单数形式。故填mentions。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意：战国时期，中国的枕头呈现出一定的工艺和精致。根据and可知，此处应该用提示词的名词形式delicacy和and前的craftsmanship并列。故填delicacy。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意：中国最早发现的枕头是在楚国古墓中出土的木制枕头。分析句意可知，此处是泛指一个楚国古墓，且Chu state tomb是以辅音因素开头，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。

67. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One of my teachers once asked my class what our favorite memory was. My answer, however, invited giggles and hesitant smiles. Why Because I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike-at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmate’s stares and laughter, because I knew there was more to the story.
My sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship: We couldn’t stand each other. Or, to be honest, she couldn’t stand me. I admired her. Her personality was the definition of cool. My clothes were mysteriously inclined to look like hers, and even my words tended to mimic(模仿) those I heard from home. Many times, I even wanted to literally follow my sister, crying every time I was banned from attending movies with her. Needless to say, I was a brat (淘气鬼) and an annoyance to her. Any sort of conversation we had was usually reduced to fighting, and try as might, my sister had an extra six years worth of insulting (侮辱的) vocabulary (which meant she usually won). After a while, I stopped trying to impress her and learned to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern-I avoided her, she ignored me, and deep inside, it hurt. So that’s how it was between us. Indifferent or hostile (敌对 的), she was only a sister in name. I truly believed that we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth. And nothing more.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received the bike that day, which was great, until I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My mom had long abandoned any attempt to teach me; I had proved to be a panicky, frustrating student.
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。
I couldn’t ride my bike, and on that day, it was no different.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My sister never once let me fall.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
I couldn’t ride my bike and on that day, it was no different. I was practising riding in a park. I struggled, but in vain. “I’m so stupid!” I murmured to myself. Overwhelmed by a sense of failure, I burst into tears. Suddenly, a familiar voice came, “You’re a noisy girl! What happened ” I stared at my sister with tears in my eyes. To my surprise, she lifted the bike up, saying, “Let me teach you!” Then she patiently told me how to keep a balance while riding. She encouraged me to have another try and promised to give me necessary help.
My sister never once let me fall. She helped me with my bike like a protective umbrella and inspired me. Little by little I could keep my balance and my fear disappeared. Eventually, I could ride the bicycle without my sister’s aid. “Congratulations!” my sister called to me. Not until that moment did I realize my sister’s hidden love for me. I got off the bike and ran to hug her tightly, conveying my gratitude. Since then, we’ve always kept a close relationship.

In 1997, the Hungarian biochemist Katalin Kariko met another struggling researcher, the American immunologist Drew Weissman, as they queued to photocopy scientific papers at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). The two scientists found they followed the same research direction and decided to cooperate. Now, their partnership achieved the peak of scientific recognition. They jointly won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. But while both scientists endured years of professional struggle on the way to the huge success, Kariko had to overcome greater setbacks than Weissman. For decades she never found a permanent position.
Having grown up in a village in a house without running water or a refrigerator, Kariko got a biochemistry doctorate in Szeged before she and her husband sold their car, sewed some cash into their toddler daughter’s teddy bear and went to the U. S. on a one-way ticket. The daughter became a U. S. national rower and Olympic gold winner.
Kariko worked in a few different research jobs before landing a junior position at the UPenn. And for many years her career at the UPenn was fragile. She migrated from lab to lab, relying on one senior scientist after another to take her in. She never made more than $60, 000 a year. She struggled to raise the grant funding essential for a scientific career. Kariko said she endured ridicule (奚落) from university colleagues for her pursuit. In 2013, Kariko “was kicked out from UPenn— forced to retire”. The university told her that her work was not of faculty quality, she said in an interview. Yet the scientist’s commitment to her work didn’t change at all. “When I was fired, I didn’t feel sorry for myself, ”she said. “I have to focus all the energy on seeking out what’s next. ”
In a news conference held at UPenn, she encouraged young scientists to love learning to solve problems and to be prepared for failure. “You have to learn how to handle the failure, because most of the time, we don’t understand-we make an experiment and the outcome is not what we want, ” Kariko said. Researchers in Kariko’s field are full of admiration for her generosity and persistence. “She is really the symbol of perseverance and what it takes to be a great researcher, ”Elliot Barnathan, a cardiologist who hired Kariko, said.
24. What was a major contributor to the cooperation of Kariko and Weissman
A. An accidental encounter. B. Shared scientific interest.
C. Pursuit of the Nobel Prize. D. Demand for photocopying.
25. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3
A. The research at the Upenn was rewarding. B. She was fired because of her casual attitude.
C. The career made her psychologically weak. D. She didn’t get the recognition she deserved.
26. How did Kariko react to her dismissal from UPenn
A. She criticized her lab colleagues. B. She switched her career goal.
C. She stuck to her original belief. D. She abandoned her research work.
27. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text
A. To inform readers of Kariko’s latest research.
B. To reveal the fierce competition in universities.
C. To applaud the cooperation between scientists.
D. To highlight a scientist’s extraordinary quality.
C
Catfish effect is the effect that a strong competitor has in causing the weak to better themselves. Actions done to actively apply this effect in an organization are termed catfish management.
In Norway, live sardines are several times more expensive than frozen ones, and are valued for better texture and flavor. It was said that only one ship could bring live sardines home, and the shipmaster kept his method a secret. After he died, people found that there was one catfish in the tank. The catfish keeps swimming, and the sardines try to avoid this predator (捕食者). This increased level of activity keeps the sardines active, thus, increasing their survival rate greatly.
Catfish effect has been one of the hottest topics in human resources management. Therefore, I will keep the explanation short and sweet. When an outsider joins a well-established team as a competitor, he causes the weak to better their performance. This method is meant to motivate each of the teammates to feel the competition in order to keep up the competitiveness level of the whole team.
However, adding a catfish in the team can also bring in the downside in the group’s dynamics.
The team would go back to the storming stage. Under-performers would become more negative about the change that the catfish tried to implement (实施) because they would see it as a threat. The failed attempt of implementation of changing will create under-performance in the team as a whole, which will lead to a greater management challenge.
The key employee or backbone employee will feel demotivated because the opportunity to get a more senior job has decreased. If there are too many catfish in the company, this would generate a stressful work environment. The employee would constantly worry if they are being “preyed” by the catfish. The mental burden would create a harmful corporate culture and increase the distrust between employees.
A high standard is required on the catfish. The catfish would eventually turn into a leading role in the team. Lack in leadership skill from the catfish would lead to a bigger chaos in the workplace. Worst situation would be setting up a bad leadership role model to further an unhealthy competitive environment.
28. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. The magic trick of catching sardines. B. The underlying logic of the effect.
C. The exact origin of the legend. D. The great wisdom of a catfish.
29. What may a catfish mean to backbones of the company
A. Unfair corporate culture. B. Violent work environment.
C. Great management challenge. D. Reduced promotion chance.
30. Which might be the solution to the downside of a catfish
A. Qualifying a catfish for a leading role. B. Setting up a harmonious relationship.
C. Creating a less competitive workplace. D. Stopping a catfish entering a company.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards adding a catfish in the company
A. Subjective. B. Pessimistic. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
D
Why do we find ugly animals so appealing And what makes odd-looking creatures so cute
Evolution plays a role. According to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz, human attraction to infantile (婴儿的) features, such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for their offspring, guaranteeing the survival of their species. Odd-looking animals such as blobfish, pugs, aye-ayes and bulldogs all share these infantile qualities that trigger an affectionate response among humans and an natural instinct (本能) to nurture and protect. And these infantile characteristics increase a person’s protective behavior, attention and willingness to care for the individual and reduce the likelihood of aggression towards an infant, says Marta Borgi, a researcher.
Ugly animals often have other value-some, like the blobfish or the naked mole rat, live in extreme environments that they have adapted to in remarkable ways. Scientists are keen to study these animals to understand whether their biology might provide fresh insights that could lead to treatments for human health conditions such as cancer, heart disease and neurodegenerative diseases.
But while many ugly creatures are adapted to their life in the wild and can provide enormous benefits to the ecosystems they live in, they often still don’t get as much attention as more traditionally cute animals. This can result in a prejudice which leads to many of the less attractive species being overlooked in terms of research.
There are other culture-led factors that also drive our obsession (痴迷) with ugly-cute animals. “The ugly-cute thing is very fashionable,” says Rowena Packer, a lecturer of animal behavior. This is partly driven by social media, with many celebrities and influencers showing off pet pugs and French bulldogs on Instagram, she says.
But there are some serious welfare concerns around this trend. Veterinarians are urging people not to choose a flat-faced dog breed (品种), because they suffer from serious health problems. Pugs and French bulldogs which have been selectively bred experience breathing difficulties, repeated skin infections and eye diseases. So while ridiculous features such as bulging eyes and wrinkly faces may make us smile, we might want to reconsider our obsession with “ugly-cute” pets.
32. What features of animals might stimulate human’s love for them
A. Unusual Body shapes. B. Different color patterns.
C. Soft bodies and cute looks. D. Baby-like facial expressions.
33. Why are scientists keen on the research into ugly animals
A. To gain new insights into their living habits.
B. To develop certain cures for human diseases.
C. To find ways to survive extreme environments.
D. To explore reasons for their strange appearances.
34. What has contributed to people’s craziness about ugly-cute animals
A. The appeal from celebrities. B. The need of the community.
C. The proposal from an expert. D. The influence of social media.
35. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text
A. Be a wise ugly-cute animal lover B. Develop the protective behavior
C. Follow in influencers’ footsteps D. Adopt more odd-looking animals

One of my teachers once asked my class what our favorite memory was. My answer, however, invited giggles and hesitant smiles. Why Because I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike-at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmate’s stares and laughter, because I knew there was more to the story.
My sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship: We couldn’t stand each other. Or, to be honest, she couldn’t stand me. I admired her. Her personality was the definition of cool. My clothes were mysteriously inclined to look like hers, and even my words tended to mimic(模仿) those I heard from home. Many times, I even wanted to literally follow my sister, crying every time I was banned from attending movies with her. Needless to say, I was a brat (淘气鬼) and an annoyance to her. Any sort of conversation we had was usually reduced to fighting, and try as might, my sister had an extra six years worth of insulting (侮辱的) vocabulary (which meant she usually won). After a while, I stopped trying to impress her and learned to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern-I avoided her, she ignored me, and deep inside, it hurt. So that’s how it was between us. Indifferent or hostile (敌对 的), she was only a sister in name. I truly believed that we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth. And nothing more.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received the bike that day, which was great, until I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My mom had long abandoned any attempt to teach me; I had proved to be a panicky, frustrating student.
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。
I couldn’t ride my bike and on that day, it was no different.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My sister never once let me fall.
