Everybody knows that Massachusetts is a great place to see fall leaves. But surely there are other places to catch the leaves turning green to reddish-golden The short answer is yes.
Aspen, Colorado
Aspen—as its name suggests—doesn’t fail to impress with its backdrop of majestic snow-capped mountains. Head to the Maroon Bells to look into mirror-like lakes to see double: on a calm day the mountains and trees are reflected in the still waters.
Bavaria, Germany
Take a trip into a Brothers Grimm fairytale. Not only can you catch breathtaking views—such as castles emerging from red, green and golden trees—but you can experience the region’s fall traditions, such as the “Almabtrieb” event, bringing in the cattle from the grasslands, and local parish (教区) fairs, called “Kirchweih-Feste” where beer is everywhere.
Catskills, Upstate New York
If spotting fall in one state isn’t enough, head to the Catskills, where you can see five states at once. Head to the Northern Catskills of Greene County, to the “Five State Lookout” in Windham, where you can view treetops in New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, as well as beautiful scenery of the Hudson River Valley.
Edinburgh, Scotland
This city is made for fall with its tree-lined streets and big open parks. Head to Princes Street Gardens, which is home to some of the city’s most typical monuments, such as the storybook-style Gardeners’ Cottage and the Scott Monument, or take a hike through Holyrood Park, marveling as the russet tones (红褐色) cover the rolling hills which climb up to the famed Arthurs Seat offering full views of the city and beyond.

In about a week I will start one of my most expected adventures ever. Sarek National Park will be a mission. It is not a place for the unprepared. It is a place for adventurous hearts who are looking for solitude (独处), wildness and a connection with nature that is hard to find on our planet these days. High up in the north of Sweden at the border with Norway, it is called the last European Wilderness.
The preparation for this trip started a few months ago. I tried to prepare in the best way possible as this is uncharted territory for me. It will be the first hike really off the beaten path. I will not go into details until I get back and actually know what I am talking about.
There are a few things to keep in mind when you plan to hike in Sarek National Park. First of all there are no huts or any accommodation. If you are at the heart of Sarek you will be at least a 4-5 days hike away from the next mountain hut. So this means I will have to carry everything I need for 8-10 days. The biggest part of the load will be food. There are no paths or waymarks. I will have to make my own route with GPS and maps.
In addition, the weather can be very challenging. Sarek is the area in Sweden with the heaviest rainfall. It is also known for strong wind and there’re not many places to shelter from it because there are hardly any tees. It is important to bring professional hiking gear (装备). Finding and choosing a good campsite might take some time as well.
4. What kind of destination does the author consider Sarek National Park to be
A. Popular and convenient. B. Busy and well-connected.
C. Remote and forest-covered. D. Attractive and demanding.
5. What does the underlined word “uncharted” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Not explored. B. Not accepted. C. Not vast. D. Not dangerous.
6. What will the author do in Sarek National Park
A. Make a map of Sarek. B. Build shelters for tourists.
C. Reach the depths of Sarek. D. Measure the rainfall of Sarek.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 4
A. To explain why there are few trees there.
B. To recommend ways of finding good campsites.
C. To discuss causes of heavy rains and strong wind.
D. To remind possible travelers of the challenging weather.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要分享了作者自己为去萨勒克国家公园所做准备，提醒前往的人要注意的事项。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It is not a place for the unprepared. It is a place for adventurous hearts who are looking for solitude (独处), wildness and a connection with nature that is hard to find on our planet these days. High up in the north of Sweden at the border with Norway, it is called the last European Wilderness.(这不是一个没有准备的地方。这是一个充满冒险精神的地方，他们正在寻找孤独、野性和与自然的联系，而这些天在我们的星球上很难找到。它位于瑞典北部与挪威接壤的高处，被称为最后的欧洲荒野)”可知，萨勒克国家公园冒险爱好者的乐园，对前往的游客有比较高的要求，所以去之前必须提前做好充分的准备。而且它被称为欧洲最后的荒野，由此可推知，作者认为该国家公园具有吸引力并且要求很高。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“The preparation for this trip started a few months ago. (这次旅行的准备工作几个月前就开始了)”,划线单词前半句话“I tried to prepare in the best way possible(我尽力以最好的方式做好准备)”以及“I will not go into details until I get back and actually know what I am talking about.(在我回来真正知道我在说什么之前，我不会详细说明)”可知，作者还没有去过萨勒克国家公园，正因为这里是他还没有探索过的地域，因此他临行前做好了充分的准备。所以划线单词的意思为“无人涉足的，陌生的”。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“If you are at the heart of Sarek you will be at least a 4-5 days hike away from the next mountain hut. So this means I will have to carry everything I need for 8-10 days. (如果你在萨雷克的中心，你将距离下一个山间小屋至少4-5天的徒步旅行。所以这意味着我将不得不在8-10天内携带我需要的一切)”可知，作者此次做足了准备，打算深入探索萨勒克国家公园。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“In addition, the weather can be very challenging.(此外，天气可能非常具有挑战性)”以及“ It is important to bring professional hiking gear (装备). Finding and choosing a good campsite might take some time as well.(带上专业的登山装备很重要。寻找和选择一个好的露营地可能也需要一些时间)”可推知，作者在本段提醒打算前往的探险者们要注意恶劣天气问题。故选D。
C
When Kurt Benirschke started collecting skin samples from rare and endangered animals in 1972, he didn’t have a plan on what to do with them. As a researcher at the University of California San Diego, he believed that one day the tools would be developed to save those animals. A few years later, he moved his collection to San Diego Zoo, and called it the Frozen Zoo. Today, the Frozen Zoo is the world’s largest animal cryobank (生物冷库), with samples from over 10,500 individual animals from 1,220 species.
Since the Frozen Zoo was founded, Oliver Ryder, a geneticist at San Diego Zoo, says many achievements have been reached in the field of genetics, starting with the cloning of the first animal -- a sheep named Dolly in 1996. Since 2001, four endangered species have been cloned using genetic material from the Frozen Zoo: the Indian Gaur, a humpbacked Asian wild ox; the Banteng, a Southeast-Asian species of cattle; Przewalski’s horse and the Black-footed ferret.
In recent years, the clock has been ticking for many species in danger. According to the WWF Living Planet Report 2020, as a result of loss of habitat due to human activities, one million species -- animals and plants -- are threatened with extinction over the coming decades and centuries. With the current rate of biodiversity loss, some scientists believe collecting samples from species that might not be here tomorrow is a scientific must-do.
One of the main challenges will be persuading conservation agencies that cryobanking is a reasonable strategy and worth funding. “Many of us are doing this without any national or government support beyond donations,” says Lisa Yon, an associate professor of zoo and wildlife medicine at the University of Nottingham. “Cryobanking is increasingly being recognized as an important resource, so it’s a bit puzzling that there isn’t more funding support.”
8. Why did Kurt Benirschke start the Frozen Zoo
A. To attract more visitors. B. To find new tools for research.
C. To sell samples more conveniently. D. To help save endangered animals.
9. What might be Oliver Ryder’s attitude towards the Frozen Zoo
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Uncaring.
10. What can be learned from paragraph 3
A. Biodiversity is in great danger. B. WWF is working with the Frozen Zoo.
C. Wildlife population is getting bigger. D. The Frozen Zoo has stored 1,220 species.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The efforts of Kurt Benirschke. B. The development in cloning.
C. The importance of the Frozen Zoo. D. The problem of genetic technology.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界上最大的生物冷库——Frozen Zoo在保存濒危动物细胞样本方面的重要成果及作用。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段前两句“When Kurt Benirschke started collecting skin samples from rare and endangered animals in 1972, he didn’t have a plan on what to do with them. As a researcher at the University of California San Diego, he believed that one day the tools would be developed to save those animals. ”（当Kurt Benirschke在1972年开始收集珍稀濒危动物的皮肤样本时，他并没有一个如何处理它们的计划。作为加州大学圣地亚哥分校的一名研究人员，他相信总有一天会开发出拯救这些动物的工具。）及最后一句“Today, the Frozen Zoo is the world’s largest animal cryobank(生物冷库), with samples from over 10,500 individual animals from 1,220 species.”（现在，冷冻动物园是世界上最大的动物冷冻库，有来自1220个物种的10500多只动物样本。）可知，Kurt Benirschke收集濒危动物的皮肤样本是为了将来能够有机会拯救它们。Frozen Zoo是储存动物样本的冷库，故他将样本移到冷库是为了保存数据，期望拯救濒危动物。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Since the Frozen Zoo was founded, Oliver Ryder, a geneticist at San Diego Zoo, says many achievements have been reached in the field of genetics”（自冷冻动物园成立以来，圣地亚哥动物园的遗传学家Oliver Ryder说，遗传学领域取得了许多成就）可知，Oliver Ryder对于Frozen Zoo持积极赞成的态度。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“With the current rate of biodiversity loss, some scientists believe collecting samples from species that might not be here tomorrow is a scientific must-do.”（以目前生物多样性丧失的速度，一些科学家认为，从明天可能不复存在的物种身上收集样本是一项科学必须做的事情。）可知，物种灭绝加剧，生物多样性遭到严重破坏。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“Today, the Frozen Zoo is the world’s largest animal cryobank(生物冷库), with samples from over 10,500 individual animals from 1,220 species.”（现在，冷冻动物园是世界上最大的动物冷冻库，有来自1220个物种的10500多只动物样本。）及第二段第一句“Since the Frozen Zoo was founded, Oliver Ryder, a geneticist at San Diego Zoo, says many achievements have been reached in the field of genetics”（自冷冻动物园成立以来，圣地亚哥动物园的遗传学家Oliver Ryder说，遗传学领域取得了许多成就）及第三段最后一句“With the current rate of biodiversity loss, some scientists believe collecting samples from species that might not be here tomorrow is a scientific must-do.”（以目前生物多样性丧失的速度，一些科学家认为，从明天可能不复存在的物种身上收集样本是一项科学必须做的事情。）可知，本文主要介绍了Frozen Zoo在保存濒危动物细胞样本方面取得的成果及其重要性。故选C项。

Do you get nervous thinking about a coming math test If yes, you are far from alone. Math anxiety has become a common condition among students around the world. Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published by the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15.
Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject, such as technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.
Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined (注定的) to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press.
Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive (认知的) scientist told the BBC. “Just because you have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms, that does not necessarily mean you will fail.”
Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn’t do fractions (分数). He could never grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four, resulting in a higher number than the original.
12. What do we know about math anxiety
A. People who are good at math don’t experience math anxiety.
B. It is most commonly seen among teenagers.
C. It can cause unpleasant symptoms both mentally and physically.
D. Math anxiety leads to people struggling in their career.
13. What does Daniel Ansari’s study imply
A. Math anxiety may contribute to better grades.
B. Students with math anxiety may have higher cognitive abilities.
C. Math anxiety does not reflect the ability to solve math problems.
D. Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages.
14. How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article
A. Practice more before you take math exams.
B. Learn to understand your feelings.
C. Ask cognitive experts for help.
D. Take all nervous energy as a challenge.
15. Why is Leonardo da Vinci’s story mentioned
A. To show that math definitely isn’t easy.
B. To explain why math is a particularly difficult subject.
C. To show da Vinci’s math anxiety is very serious.
D. To suggest a way to solve math anxiety.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了数学焦虑以及缓解的方法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study.(剑桥大学的一项研究表明，数学焦虑——一种对核心学科的负面情绪反应——会导致年轻学生的恐惧、身体痛苦和行为问题)”可知，数学焦虑会在精神和身体上引起不愉快的症状，故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“‘If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement,’ Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press.(“如果一个孩子有数学焦虑，不要认为他们不擅长数学。他们可能有过非常糟糕的数学经历，但有一些方法可以提高数学成绩”，该研究的资深作者Daniel Ansari在接受《伦敦自由出版社》采访时表示)”可知，Daniel Ansari的研究表明，数学焦虑并不反映解决数学问题的能力，故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. ‘It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,’ Sian Beilock…(如果你在数学考试前感到有压力，在考试开始前花几分钟探究这些感觉可能会有帮助。“这是为了确保你正确地理解自己的感受”，Sian Beilock说)”可知，如果你有关于数学的压力，你应该学会理解自己的感受，故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段首句“Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are.(不管你有多聪明，数学都不容易学)”提到，不管你有多聪明，数学学起来都不容易，接着文章举了达·芬奇的例子，达·芬奇是数学的狂热爱好者，但他不会做分数，以此来支撑上述观点，说明学习数学不容易。故选A项。

47. 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。
As Amy walked home from school one afternoon, she saw images of symmetry (对称) all around her: in the faces of people, in the buildings she passed, and in the cars that went by. Even the autumn leaves that covered the sidewalk. A butterfly landed on a branch above her, and Amy suddenly stopped. She held her breath and smiled, watching as it opened and closed its perfectly symmetrical wings.
All that month, Amy’s class had been studying different forms of symmetry, and Amy was deeply attracted. They’d observed the mirror symmetry of violins and the rotational symmetry of starfish. They’d even studied symmetry using a microscope and recorded the beauty with a phone camera. Now Mr. Garcia, their science teacher, had given them their final assignment: to find the most beautiful example of symmetry and give a report to the class on it.
“The most beautiful example of symmetry. What on earth could that be ” Amy asked herself. She finally decided to use her microscope to find one. Amy spent hours in the garden on the examination of cells, pieces of rock, and drops of pond water. Although she was amazed by what she saw, none was truly beautiful.
“What are you bringing to class ” Amy asked her friend Cathy on the bus ride to school. “A model airplane,” replied Cathy proudly. “And my brother Mathew is bringing his guitar.” Those things are nice, thought Amy, but there must be something more beautiful.
That evening, she stayed with her microscope until her father called out, “Get inside, Amy. It’s freezing outside. The weather forecast says it’s going to snow.”
Amy’s heart sank. There would be fewer things to study under the microscope. Snow would cover the area like a blanket, hiding everything from sight. Her assignment was due in just a few days. Amy began to feel panic as she was packing up her microscope. Then she caught sight of something white blown onto the stage of her microscope. Yes! The snowflake (雪花)! She looked through the microscope and was amazed by its beauty.
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 have to show it to my class,” Amy cried excitedly.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, it was the day to report.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “I have to show it to my class,” Amy cried excitedly. She looked through the microscope again to take a closer look and was surprised to find that there was nothing there! The snowflake had disappeared taking all of its beauty with it. “No! Wait!” cried Amy. She had to take the snowflake to class, but how It could melt before she got on the school bus! Suddenly, Amy had an idea—she ran to her house and picked up her camera. Within minutes, she had managed to attach it to the microscope. She carefully placed another snowflake on the microscope’s stage and took a series of pictures.
Finally, it was the day to report. Amy took the photos to the class, which surprised the classmates and the science teacher. Each snowflake was different, symmetrical, and unbelievably beautiful. They were excited to see the most beautiful example of symmetry. The teacher praised Amy for her careful observation, which made Amy happy and proud.
【解析】

Everybody knows that Massachusetts is a great place to see fall leaves. But surely there are other places to catch the leaves turning green to reddish-golden The short answer is yes.

Bavaria, Germany
Take a trip into a Brothers Grimm fairytale. Not only can you catch breathtaking views—such as castles emerging from red, green and golden trees—but you can experience the region’s fall traditions, such as the “Almabtrieb” event, bringing in the cattle from the grasslands, and local parish (教区) fairs, called “Kirchweih-Feste” where beer is everywhere.

In about a week I will start one of my most expected adventures ever. Sarek National Park will be a mission. It is not a place for the unprepared. It is a place for adventurous hearts who are looking for solitude (独处), wildness and a connection with nature that is hard to find on our planet these days. High up in the north of Sweden at the border with Norway, it is called the last European Wilderness.
The preparation for this trip started a few months ago. I tried to prepare in the best way possible as this is uncharted territory for me. It will be the first hike really off the beaten path. I will not go into details until I get back and actually know what I am talking about.
There are a few things to keep in mind when you plan to hike in Sarek National Park. First of all, there are no huts or any accommodation. If you are at the heart of Sarek you will be at least a 4-5 days hike away from the next mountain hut. So this means I will have to carry everything I need for 8-10 days. The biggest part of the load will be food. There are no paths or waymarks. I will have to make my own route with GPS and maps.
In addition, the weather can be very challenging. Sarek is the area in Sweden with the heaviest rainfall. It is also known for strong wind and there’re not many places to shelter from it because there are hardly any tees. It is important to bring professional hiking gear (装备). Finding and choosing a good campsite might take some time as well.
4. What kind of destination does the author consider Sarek National Park to be
A. Popular and convenient. B. Busy and well-connected.
C. Remote and forest-covered. D. Attractive and demanding.
5. What does the underlined word “uncharted” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Not explored. B. Not accepted. C. Not vast. D. Not dangerous.
6. What will the author do in Sarek National Park
A. Make a map of Sarek. B. Build shelters for tourists.
C. Reach the depths of Sarek. D. Measure the rainfall of Sarek.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 4
A. To explain why there are few trees there.
B To recommend ways of finding good campsites.
C. To discuss causes of heavy rains and strong wind.
D. To remind possible travelers of the challenging weather.
C
When Kurt Benirschke started collecting skin samples from rare and endangered animals in 1972, he didn’t have a plan on what to do with them. As a researcher at the University of California San Diego, he believed that one day the tools would be developed to save those animals. A few years later, he moved his collection to San Diego Zoo, and called it the Frozen Zoo. Today, the Frozen Zoo is the world’s largest animal cryobank (生物冷库), with samples from over 10,500 individual animals from 1,220 species.
Since the Frozen Zoo was founded, Oliver Ryder, a geneticist at San Diego Zoo, says many achievements have been reached in the field of genetics, starting with the cloning of the first animal -- a sheep named Dolly in 1996. Since 2001, four endangered species have been cloned using genetic material from the Frozen Zoo: the Indian Gaur, a humpbacked Asian wild ox; the Banteng, a Southeast-Asian species of cattle; Przewalski’s horse and the Black-footed ferret.
In recent years, the clock has been ticking for many species in danger. According to the WWF Living Planet Report 2020, as a result of loss of habitat due to human activities, one million species -- animals and plants -- are threatened with extinction over the coming decades and centuries. With the current rate of biodiversity loss, some scientists believe collecting samples from species that might not be here tomorrow is a scientific must-do.
One of the main challenges will be persuading conservation agencies that cryobanking is a reasonable strategy and worth funding. “Many of us are doing this without any national or government support beyond donations,” says Lisa Yon, an associate professor of zoo and wildlife medicine at the University of Nottingham. “Cryobanking is increasingly being recognized as an important resource, so it’s a bit puzzling that there isn’t more funding support.”
8. Why did Kurt Benirschke start the Frozen Zoo
A. To attract more visitors. B. To find new tools for research.
C. To sell samples more conveniently. D. To help save endangered animals.
9. What might be Oliver Ryder’s attitude towards the Frozen Zoo
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Uncaring.
10. What can be learned from paragraph 3
A. Biodiversity is in great danger. B. WWF is working with the Frozen Zoo.
C. Wildlife population is getting bigger. D. The Frozen Zoo has stored 1,220 species.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The efforts of Kurt Benirschke. B. The development in cloning.
C. The importance of the Frozen Zoo. D. The problem of genetic technology.
D
Do you get nervous thinking about a coming math test If yes, you are far from alone. Math anxiety has become a common condition among students around the world. Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published by the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15.
Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject, such as technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.
Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined (注定的) to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press.
Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive (认知的) scientist told the BBC. “Just because you have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms, that does not necessarily mean you will fail.”
Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn’t do fractions (分数). He could never grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four, resulting in a higher number than the original.
12. What do we know about math anxiety
A. People who are good at math don’t experience math anxiety.
B. It is most commonly seen among teenagers.
C. It can cause unpleasant symptoms both mentally and physically.
D. Math anxiety leads to people struggling in their career.
13. What does Daniel Ansari’s study imply
A. Math anxiety may contribute to better grades.
B. Students with math anxiety may have higher cognitive abilities.
C. Math anxiety does not reflect the ability to solve math problems.
D. Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages.
14. How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article
A. Practice more before you take math exams.
B. Learn to understand your feelings.
C. Ask cognitive experts for help.
D Take all nervous energy as a challenge.
15. Why is Leonardo da Vinci’s story mentioned
A. To show that math definitely isn’t easy.
B. To explain why math is a particularly difficult subject.
C. To show da Vinci’s math anxiety is very serious.
D. To suggest a way to solve math anxiety.

47. 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。
As Amy walked home from school one afternoon, she saw images of symmetry (对称) all around her: in the faces of people, in the buildings she passed, and in the cars that went by. Even the autumn leaves that covered the sidewalk. A butterfly landed on a branch above her, and Amy suddenly stopped. She held her breath and smiled, watching as it opened and closed its perfectly symmetrical wings.
All that month, Amy’s class had been studying different forms of symmetry, and Amy was deeply attracted. They’d observed the mirror symmetry of violins and the rotational symmetry of starfish. They’d even studied symmetry using a microscope and recorded the beauty with a phone camera. Now Mr. Garcia, their science teacher, had given them their final assignment: to find the most beautiful example of symmetry and give a report to the class on it.
“The most beautiful example of symmetry. What on earth could that be ” Amy asked herself. She finally decided to use her microscope to find one. Amy spent hours in the garden on the examination of cells, pieces of rock, and drops of pond water. Although she was amazed by what she saw, none was truly beautiful.
“What are you bringing to class ” Amy asked her friend Cathy on the bus ride to school. “A model airplane,” replied Cathy proudly. “And my brother Mathew is bringing his guitar.” Those things are nice, thought Amy, but there must be something more beautiful.
That evening, she stayed with her microscope until her father called out, “Get inside, Amy. It’s freezing outside. The weather forecast says it’s going to snow.”
Amy’s heart sank. There would be fewer things to study under the microscope. Snow would cover the area like a blanket, hiding everything from sight. Her assignment was due in just a few days. Amy began to feel panic as she was packing up her microscope. Then she caught sight of something white blown onto the stage of her microscope. Yes! The snowflake (雪花)! She looked through the microscope and was amazed by its beauty.
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 have to show it to my class,” Amy cried excitedly.
