Women scientists around the world have made significant contributions to Stem (science, technology, engineering, and maths). Here are four who pushed boundaries and changed the world.
Wu Chienshiung (1912—1997)
Born in Taicang, Jiangsu province, Wu took part in the Manhattan Project which helped create the world’s first nuclear weapon. Her famous Wu experiment overturned the theory of parity in physics.

On the 25th of December, my mother expected her children to be present, exchanging gifts and eating turkey. But as an artist and daughter, my heart seemed to be more in my work as an artist. As for my mother and my family, I thought we would have more time to spend Christmas together. I was going to do my own thing.
I made plans for my winter adventure in New Hampshire. The MacDowell Colony (麦道尔艺术村) was everything I could have wished for. About 20 to 30 artists were present, and it was as captivating as I had imagined. Snowy New England, sledding (滑雪橇) and whisky! It felt like my life had become an unexpected independent film.
By Christmas Eve, I had been at the colony more than a week. The fresh feelings were wearing off, but I would never admit it. Everyone around me was having too much fun—drinks and deep conversations by the fireplace. It seemed so amazing! What was wrong with me This was the holiday I’d always dreamed of. No plastic reindeer. Not a Christmas sweater anywhere in sight. People here didn’t even say “Christmas”, but they said “holiday”. Then why was I so down
Finally, I called home. My dad answered. He told me that my mother was out shopping with my brothers. I found there was a fire in my heart. They were having a fine Christmas without me Didn’t they miss me How could they
Despite a serious snowstorm, a large package with my mother’s beautiful handwriting showed up near my door at the artist colony on Christmas morning. I seized it as if I had been five years old. Inside was my favorite cake.
As I sliced (切) the cake, everyone gathered around —young and old. My mother had sent a real homemade gift. It was a minor Christmas miracle that one cake managed to feed so many. We ate it from paper towels with our hands, satisfying a hunger we didn’t know we had and reminding us of our dear families, who must be missing us too.
4．Why was the author unwilling to spend Christmas at home

7．What did the author mainly intend to express in the last two paragraphs

D. Her mother’s cake cured the artists of their homesickness.
Today’s 14-and 15-year-olds are ambitious. They are optimistic about their future, but their career ideas are rather unclear. A job for life is not in their vocabulary. Almost half the boys surveyed expected that their hobbies would lead them into the right sort of job, while most girls seemed determined to avoid traditionally female careers such as nursing.
In the past, this might have counted as bad news. But the world has changed. The global economy is not kind to yesterday’s hardworking and dependable workers. The future belongs to quick-thinking people who are resourceful, ambitious and creative. This means that young people need training and guidance to help them develop the right skills for today’s market; not the rigid preparation for a workplace that disappeared 20 years ago.
So what is to be done A good first step would be to change the way in which schools prepare young people for adult life. The education system is becoming less flexible and paying more attention to traditional skills when the employment market is going in the opposite direction.
Accurate, latest information on new jobs and qualifications can help guidance counselors to help their students. Young people need solid information on the sort of training they need to their dream career. Also, a little bit of encouragement can go a long way.
What, then, can we as parents do to help them The best thing is to forget all the advice that our parents gave us, and step into our teenager’s shoes. It is important for them to learn how to be independent and resourceful. Give them courage to follow their dreams—however odd they might sound right now. In a world that offers economic security to almost no one, imagination is a terrible thing to waste.
8．According to the survey, how are boys and girls different in career ideas
A. Male teenagers are more ambitious and optimistic.
B. Dead-end but secure jobs are more popular with girls.
C. Boys prefer to choose jobs based on their interest.
D. Girl teenagers have clearer career ideas than boys.
9．What word can best describe the person who is fluent in the global economy
A. Inventive. B. Hardworking. C. Modest. D. Reliable.
10．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph imply
A. Wasting is the main cause of terrible economy.
B. Creativity should be valued most in the changing world.
C. No one can be secure in such a terrible world.
D. Wasting imagination leads to economic insecurity.
11．Why is the passage written
A. To analyze teenagers’ ideas about the economic world.
B. To explain how the world has changed the young.
C. To encourage parents to help the young to be independent.
D. To offer advice on how to prepare teenagers for careers.
Technology has undoubtedly opened up the world for me, literally, in the case of my fully accessible home. My windows are automatic, and my front door is automatic too. There are also my wheelchairs. I guess that any wheelchair user will say the best invention is that of the wheel. It's a tool bringing independence and comfort.
Last week, I took a well-deserved break from work and went on a staycation in my local area. On the first day, I was heading further out in my wheelchair than I had ever been on my own. This chair is almost like a Transformer. I like the speed, the phone charger and all the flexible features. It's a wonderful creation.
However, while there are many benefits that come with technology, I still live in a disabling world. For example, out in my wheelchair that day, feeling free and easy, I headed straight toward the shop not far away. I deserve to feel heard and included when innovation is concerned. But when I got there, I was confronted with self-service checkouts. While they are designed for easy and quick service, for me and many other disabled people, the lack of face-to-face services can put us at a disadvantage. Not only are the checkouts far too high, but they are awkwardly designed so that you cannot approach them with a wheelchair. So I waited for someone to assist me. In just a matter of a few hours, I had seen how technology and accessibility advancements have empowered me, and then, in the next breath, disabled me.
I still live in a disabling world with substandard accessibility. Therefore, disabled people by and large are more likely to rely on mechanical and technological devices such as lifts and communication aids. Unfortunately, these things are sometimes abused and mistreated, making the person relying on them dependent on others.
12．How does the author think of technology according to paragraphs 1 and 2
A.He casts some doubts on it. B. He shows much gratitude for it.
C.He expresses curiosity about it. D. He feels really surprised at it.
13．What happened to the author in the shop
A.He came across many other disabled people by chance.
B. He waited quite a few hours in order to check out.
C.He was unable to seek assistance from others.
D.He couldn't use the self-service checkout by himself.
14．Why does the author say he still lives in a disabling world
A. He thinks it is not easy to make his voice heard.
B. Some shops are inaccessible to wheelchair users.
C.He finds it really hard to fit in with non-disabled people.
D.Things related to technology are sometimes misused.
15．What would be the best title for the text
A.My Different Views Concerning Disability
B. How I Make Full Advantage of Technology
C. My Love-hate Relationship With Technology
D. How I Live Independently as a Disabled Man
二、七选五

六、读后续写
34．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。
When I was little, I used to walk with my grandmother on a quiet and small road across which she and my grandfather lived. My grandfather rarely joined us. He was a seemingly strict man, an ex-soldier who. usually held back his emotions, especially his affection(喜爱). He wasn’t a man who hugged me often when I was a child, but I had never doubted his love for me.
Grandma and I would walk, hand in hand, moving at an equal pace. The sun would be shining; the birds would be singing. We would chat about this and that, or just walk in silence, enjoying the outdoors and each other’s company. Yet, for me, these times were not just a chance to get some exercise or be with my grandmother, though both were important. These walks were treasure hunts.
More often than not, at the road’s edge, there would be money. Not lots of it — I cent here, 5 cents there. Sometimes, on really lucky days, I’d find 10 cents or even 25. I’d pick up these coins, proudly show Grandma and joyfully put them into my pockets. Some days, I wouldn’t find anything. “Maybe next time, ” my grandmother would say. Other days, I’d come back from our walk with more than twenty-five cents to put in my piggy bank, or to buy candies — a treat for a six-year-old child.
Looking back now, it wasn’t even the money that was such a big deal; it was the joy of discovery. It was the hope of finding something small left or forgotten along the side of the road. It made me feel so lucky and so special. Yet, it wasn’t until years later, when I was in my late twenties, that the simple memory meant much more to me than simply the happiness of a child. It was my mother who told me the secret which brought a whole new meaning to my experience.
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。
Paragraph 1:
“Remember when you used to walk with Grandma and find money ” Mother asked.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Now, I would do the same thing my grandfather did.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

32．答案：①which②an③reflect④creative⑤totally⑥is⑦hidden⑧in⑨direction⑩to master
解析：①考查定语从句。句意：现在，我正在学习这门独特的艺术，它在中国，甚至在今天的东亚都很有价值。分析句子结构可知，空格处为非限制性定语从句的连接词，从句中缺少主语，先行词为this unique art，指的是物，所以用which。故填which。
②考查冠词。句意：它不仅是人类语言的一种古老的艺术形式，而且也反映了中国的传统。空格处位于名词前，因此需要填入冠词；此处指的是中国书法艺术是人类语言的一种古老的艺术形式，表示泛指，且空后的形容词ancient的发音为元音音素开头。故填an。
③考查一般现在时，主谓一致。句意：它不仅是人类语言的一种古老的艺术形式，而且也反映了中国的传统。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入谓语动词，此处为陈述事实，因此需要使用一般现在时，句子的主语为it，s所以谓语动词需要用第三人称单数。故填reflects。
④考查形容词。句意：作为一个喜欢画画，热爱创造性事物的人，起初，我认为我的中国书法应该很好。空格处位于名词之前，修饰名词，因此需要填入形容词。create的形容词为creative表示“有创造力的”。故填creative。
⑤考查副词。句意：我完全错了。空格处位于形容词之前，修饰形容词，因此需要填入副词；total的副词为totally表示“完全地”。故填totally。
⑥考查一般现在时，主谓一致。句意：对于初学者来说，使用粗笔尖来产生笨拙的笔触是非常困难的。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入谓语动词，此处为陈述事实，因此使用一般现在时，主语为动名词短语Using thick brush tips to produce awkward brush strokes (笔画)，所以谓语动词因使用第三人称单数。故填is。
⑦考查非谓语动词。句意：我不知道不同类型的书法和每一个背后隐藏的含义。分析句子结构可知，句子中已经有谓语动词，空格处需要填入非谓语动词，hide与逻辑主语meanings之间为动宾关系，因此需要使用过去分词表示被动含义。故填hidden。
⑧考查介词。句意：此外，我必须以一种非常特殊的方式拿着画笔，不像钢笔或铅笔，画笔是直立握在手里的。此处表示“以一种非常特殊的方式”，in … way表示“以……方式”。故填in。
⑨考查名词。句意：当我改变画笔的角度或方向时，我需要格外小心，尤其是当我在纸上用力过猛时。连词or前后连接的词需要保持词性一致，分析句子可知，此处需要填入名词；根据句意可知，此处表示的是单数的含义，因此需要填入名词单数。故填direction。
⑩考查动词不定式。句意：上完这节课，我现在明白了书法的难度，也明白了要掌握这门艺术需要付出努力和承诺。it takes … to do sth.为固定句型，意为“花费……做某事”，此处用it作形式主语，to do不定式为真正的主语。故填to master。

34．答案： Paragraph 1:
“Remember when you used to walk with Grandma and find money ”Mother asked. “All those years, ”she said, “your grandfather drove up and down the walking route, dropping change for you to find.” I was amazed. I remembered how he’d smile when I dug my finds out of my pocket to show him, but I’d always thought he was just happy about my luck. I’d never imagined that he was the one responsible for it. It turned out that he had given me joy in the way I hadn’t even connected to him.
Paragraph 2:
Now, I would do the same thing my grandfather did. Every once in a while, as I take a walk down the street, I drop a cent or two, or maybe even 25, and watch the money roll on the street. I picture some small children finding it, pleased with the discovery. They’ll never know someone put it there on purpose for them to find. But that’s part of the joy and a precious memory. Thanks, Grandfather.
