Women are such amazing beings and if you need a bit of inspiration to keep going, here are stories of inspiring women who made a mark on history!
Jane Austen（1775-1817）
She wrote about what life was like during the late 1700s and early 1800s through the books Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Emma. These books were released within just four years of each other. Two other books, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published after she died. Her face is now on the new 10 note, reminding us every day how much her books have affected us all.
Florence Nightingale（1820-1910）
She was born into a wealthy family, which disapproved of her entering the nursing profession. After receiving a letter from the Secretary of War who asked her to put together a team and look after British soldiers during the Crimean War, she moved to London. This was the first time that women were allowed to serve in the army.
She went home as a hero and even received a thank-you letter from Queen Victoria. She left a legacy in healthcare in the war.
Marie Curie（1867-1934）
One of the most famous scientists of all time comes in the form of Marie Curie. Together with her fellow scientist and husband Pierre, she made amazing work on their discoveries. In 1903, they received a Nobel Prize. She won another Nobel Prize in 1911, the first woman to do so. The Curies were the pair who made discoveries on radioactivity, which paved the way for the creation of X-rays.
Mother Teresa（1910-1997）
In September 2016, Mother Teresa was announced to be named as a Saint, which she deserves after her devotion to helping people in poverty. In 1929, she traveled to India and dedicated her whole life to helping poor people, especially in the Indian city of Kolkata. She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner celebration. She then suggested giving all of the money to the poor people in Kolkata.

Diego Carde osa has loved sharks ever since he was a child. The Colombia native was never afraid of them when he visited his beloved beach. Instead, he was fascinated with how sharks moved through water using their fins（鳍）. It's no surprise that he became a marine（海洋的）biologist.
Concern grew as Carde osa learned about the serious state of sharks worldwide. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature reports a shocking rise in the extinction threat to shark species, now affecting 35%, up nearly 50% in a decade. Overfishing stands as the main cause, driven by demand for shark meat and fins.
"They are being killed at a rate that cannot survive in the future,” said Carde osa. "As soon as I realized they were going through a conservation crisis, I wanted to help what I love the most."
Scientists worry the sharks' dropping numbers could bring ecological disaster as they play a number of key roles in the ocean. Unlike many fish, sharks take a long time to reproduce. Fisheries kill about 100 million sharks a year, according to the non-profit Save Our Seas. Many sharks end up as bycatch when long lines and nets unintentionally catch them.
Today, Carde osa fights against the illegal shark trade as a Distinguished Postdoctoral Scholar at Florida International University. His innovation-a portable DNA kit like a small red box-plays a key role in identifying shark species and their origins in major ports globally. This breakthrough has greatly improved law enforcement（实施）efforts in ports like Hong Kong, where the amount of seized shark fins has risen from five to a hundred tons annually since the kit's introduction.
Carde osa's efforts extend beyond sharks, aiding authorities in stopping trafficking of other endangered species like European eels and South America's matamata turtles. His commitment earned him recognition from international criminal police organization.
24. What led to Diego Carde osa's profession
A. His great interest in sharks. B. His surprise at sharks'value.
C. His concern for shark extinction. D. His childhood love for oceans.
25. What is the main reason for shark species being threatened to extinction
A. Climate change. B. City construction. C. Natural disasters. D. Business fishing.
26. What could happen if sharks continue to decrease in numbers
A. There will be fewer attacks on tourists.
B. More fish species might become endangered.
C. Marine ecological balance could be destroyed.
D. Fishing industries would face less competition.
27. What is the function of Diego's DNA kit
A. It reduces shark fin sales. B. It aids in species identification.
C. It changes law enforcement. D. It meets demand for shark products.
C
People who have trouble walking often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It's called Seatrac.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp（轻便梯）that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water or go for a swim. The Seatrac system can also help anyone else who has a hard time walking, including older people and pregnant women.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn't like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a sack（袋）of potatoes.
Mr. Fotiou realized that there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to get into the water. Mr. Fotiou worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to design the system. In time, they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell it.
The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar-powered. It doesn't require outside power and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Seatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when the swimming season ends.
This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy and Latvia. TOBEA hopes to offer Seatrac in other countries soon.
The Seatrac service in Greece is being offered for free. The Greek government has helped pay for it, with local cities buying and managing the equipment. Greece's government hopes that Seatrac will help attract more tourists to the country.
28. Who is Seatrac designed for
A. Older people who move freely.
B. Youths who like to swim in the sea.
C. Women who enjoy beach baths with their children.
D. People who have trouble moving around on the beach.
29. What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The system. B. Potato. C. Ramp. D. Normal wheelchair.
30. What can we learn about the Seatrac system
A. It's not easy to operate.
B. Users don't have to worry about charging it.
C. People need to have a big cost to use it in Greece.
D. It has been available at more than one thousand beaches.
31. Why does the Greek government help pay for the Seatrac service
A. To improve the government's image.
B. To promote the development of tourism.
C. To set up an organization for the disabled.
D. To support small and medium-sized local companies.
D
In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies, Upside Foods and Good Meat, to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a laboratory. That makes the US the second country to approve lab-grown chicken.
Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isn't created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it's a meat product developed from animal cells that are grown in a lab. So it is also called "cell-based" or "cultured" meat.
The process of creating lab-grown meat is completely different from the normal meat-raising process. The first cells come from live animals. The cells are grown inside large steel tanks, where they're fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow to look like normal meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes.
The companies say that their meat is better for the environment than meat from animals.
Raising animals for food uses huge amounts of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Raising animals for food creates about 15% of the world's greenhouse gases. That's why cutting back on eating meat is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change. Lab-grown meat can also help out in other ways. Raising animals for food is extremely hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces and are treated badly.
Polls（民意调查）have shown that many people aren't too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that it just sounds weird. But Amy Chen, who works for Upside Foods, says that once people try the meat, "The most common response we get is, 'Oh, it tastes like chicken.'"
But right now, the meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Even though the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply.
32. What can we know about lab-grown chicken meat
A. It is created from animal cells in a laboratory.
B. It is cheaper than the normal meat.
C. America is the first country to approve selling it.
D. Two companies are allowed to do research on it.
33. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The necessity of eating normal meat.
B. The process of creating lab-grown meat.
C. The disadvantages of raising animals for food.
D. The similarities between lab-grown meat and normal meat.
34. What does the underlined word "weird" in paragraph 6 mean
A. Easy. B. Ordinary. C. Strange. D. Attractive.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Lab-grown Meat Is Outdated B. What Exactly Is Lab-grown Meat
C. How Is the Lab-grown Chicken Made D. Lab-grown Chicken Meat Is Coming

第二节（满分25分）
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。
I teach high school history to a group of sixteen-to eighteen-year-olds. One particular student, Emily, is dangerously close to failing not only the entire course but the end-of-year exam. She must pass the course. Otherwise, she would have to repeat the entire year. That's really a pity. She is the type of student who is incredibly bright, switched on and engaging. But she's been hanging out with some naughty kids since her parents divorced（离异）. It was a group of students who didn't love learning and just wanted to have fun every day.
This part of the story occurred just after a paper was due. The paper was meant to assess just how well the students knew the course material that we had covered before the end-of-year exam. I handed out everyone's marked and graded paper except for Emily's, who was sitting with her friend group.
Looking at Emily, I said to her in a peaceful voice, "Emily, when I dismiss（解散）everyone else, I want to see you privately, please."
A collective "ooooooh" hissed（发出嘘声）around the class. Emily was obviously a little bit worried about what this might be. I dismissed the class and sat opposite Emily, her paper in my hand.
"So, how do you think you did on your paper " I asked.
Emily replied, "It seems that I don't get the material, right Why do you always-". But I gently interrupted with a warm smile, "You don't get it That's strange."
"Actually, Emily, you've surprised us all," I said, turning the paper to reveal a big, fat A+ next to her name. "Because your paper perfectly summarized the issues we discussed this semester about class difference in the Victorian Era. Obviously, this is your area of expertise," I explained.
Emily's eyes widened in disbelief. "W-what "
I continued, "Your paper was the highest-scoring one I've ever had. I'm completely serious."
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。
Emily was obviously shocked. __________________________________________________________________

After this conversation, I noticed a big change in Emily. _____________________________________________
