Passage 1
(24-25 学年高二下·福建福州八市·期中)
In a breathtaking incident in Berlin, a young man narrowly escaped a life-threatening situation where he became trapped beneath a bus.
The 16-year-old found himself unable to move beneath a tyre (轮胎) of the bus when he fell down during an attempt to catch the departing vehicle at a local stop on a Monday afternoon. The quick response of the bus driver, who immediately stopped the vehicle, coupled with the
assistance of roughly 40 people, including both passengers and bystanders, led to a remarkable
achievement. Together, they managed to lift the right side of the bus sufficiently to free the young man.
Frank Kurze, one of the courageous volunteers who participated in the rescue, recalled the messy scene, stating, “I saw the men trying to lift the bus, and it was clear to me that I also had to help lift the bus and try to pull the young man from underneath.”
Nearby medical professionals from a healthcare center in the Spandau neighborhood of
Berlin instantly arrived at the scene to provide vital first aid. Michelle Rueckborn, one of the
nurses on duty, shared their response, saying, “We were at work when we heard screams, and our coworker looked out of the window and saw what had happened, and said ‘Grab the doctor’s kit and run. ’”
Sandra Grunwald, another nurse present at the scene, added, “He was responsive but
understandably confused, unsure of what was unfolding around him.” Despite the frightening circumstances, the young man unbelievably survived with only minor injuries, thanks to the collective effort of around 40 individuals who came together to perform a heroic rescue.
The Berlin police department praised the collective efforts of those involved in the rescue as “heroes” and expressed their gratitude on social media, stating, “Thank you, Spandau. Thank

Passage 2
(24-25 学年高二下·福建福州三中·期中)
I joined the coast guard because I wanted to help people. Hovercraft (气垫船) are rare and special. They’ve been discontinued in most commercial operation, because they are so expensive to make, but when it comes to search and rescue, they’re priceless.
From far away, a hovercraft looks like a normal boat. But if you look under its skirt, the
craft is not touching the water — it floats on a cushion of air. That cushion allows us to travel over everything from water to muddy land — and even break through ice. We do all of that as a
70-tonne machine, going a maximum of nearly 120 kilometers per hour. These features allow us to rescue a large number of people quickly get onto land, and get someone into an ambulance far easier than with any other device I can think of.
The advantages of hovercraft can also make them difficult to handle. We’ve got a massive vehicle moving fast, sometimes in a thick fog bank up a narrow river. During assignments on
other coast guard ships, I had 20 minutes to make alterations to avoid a crash. In a hovercraft, I
have 10 seconds. You have to have enough situational awareness to make the right decision every time.
People call us for all sorts of problems: missing divers, on-board fires, or even when

they’ve run out of fuel or had a mechanical breakdown. A container ship could burst into flames. We have a strong network here at the base to help everyone through difficult situations like that. Thankfully, we have captains who train us in a safe environment, but you don’t ever get fully
comfortable. Anything can throw the hovercraft off — maybe your lift settings are off a little, or the wind blows with a bit of extra weight. After several years operating a hovercraft, I’m still
learning. Every one of the captains here agrees: you can drive this thing for 20 years and still be surprised.
5 .What makes hovercraft unsuitable for commercial use
A.Their safety risks. B.Their poor durability. C.Their low efficiency.
D .Their production costs.

(24-25 学年高二下·福建泉州七中·期中)
Jim Johnson, a mail carrier, was an institution in the leafy Westmoreland, Westhaven and
Westover Hills neighborhoods, just north of downtown Wilmington, where he delivered much
more than the mail. He knew all the kids and their pets by name; he carried in the groceries; he
took note of unlocked doors, offered gardening advice, and taught more than a few young boys the art of the curveball. When he wasn’t doing all that, Jim was running across a checkerboard of
green lawns (草坪) to ensure the local postal service did not fall short of its daily promise.
Though the postal service is often disparaged now, the trust in local postal service lives on. In many communities, that trust is won every day when life-saving medicine, greeting cards,
social security checks, college acceptance letters-even the bills-appear in mailboxes in front of the houses.
After more than three decades, Jim approached his final days on the job much like any
other. He drove a boxy postal truck to North DuPont Road for the first unofficial stop of the day. Butch, a dog who belonged to one of the neighbors, was waiting just like every day before. And just like every day before, he got into the jump seat and they were off. On the route, Jim and
Butch had become inseparable. Now, the dog and the mailman would ride off to retirement
together. At every stop, Jim accepted the parting good wishes of families that had become his own. There were tears and laughter, and hugs filled with warm memories.
It’s been 33 years since Jim left the route, but we are still reminded of the deep bond
established between community and letter carrier. That’s what the postal service means to us.
13 .What do we know about Jim Johnson from the first paragraph
A .He’s open-minded. B .He’s sharp-eyed. C .He’s warm-hearted. D .He’s strong-willed. 14 .What does the underlined word “disparaged” in Paragraph 2 mean

When she was younger, Julia Foland wanted to learn another language. “I tried taking
Spanish in school and I tried to self-study French. However, these languages didn't seem to match with me. I couldn't really find passion in studying them, ” she said. “A friend of mine took Korean classes when she attended college, and hearing her stories about studying Korean was the main

Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as
soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough covered with ugly
yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn’t have to face Doug laughing at my work.
I went on preparing the rest ofthe meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to
Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and
went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin,
holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he
dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked
harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. I had to
admit what the “living thing” was and why it was there. I don't know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing — Doug or me.
29 .Why did the woman’s attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful

Passage 1
(24-25 学年高二下·福建龙岩·期中)
Diving isn't just about swimming alongside various marine species, but the adventure also involves appreciating nature as a work of art. One diver Gary Grayson from Worsley had a rather shocking experience with two seals that were swimming around him.
During one of his dives off the coasts ofthe Isles of Scilly, England, Grayson got lucky and found two young seals. One of the seals approached him first and started playing with him by
touching his hand. The diver remained still, hoping it would leave him alone, while the seal went on with its actions. The marine creature kept exploring Grayson, who had no idea why the seal
wouldn't leave him alone.
It turned out that the animal had something adorable in mind and dragged at Grayson's arms slightly because it wanted a scratch (挠) from the diver, and Grayson instantly understood. As he gently scratched the animal, it seemed to enjoy it and wanted more. The diver was excited about
this heartwarming interaction with the seal. “I was absolutely loving it,” the 55-year-old experienced diver said.
“We were told just to keep still but the more still we were, the more curious this seal was because we were in their world,”the diver explained. After the first seal was done playing with him, the second seal that was swimming around the diver started to take an interest in his legs.
Being an adventure lover, Grayson always loved living life on the edge. But the time he had with those two seals underwater was something extraordinary for him. The video shot by Gary
from more than a decade ago gained online popularity. While the Internet often considers seals as the “dogs of the sea”, their behavior in this video shows how that comparison might be true.
32 .Why did Grayson stop moving after seeing the seals
A .He planned to observe them quietly. B .He wanted to conduct research.
C .He wasn't able to escape from them. D .He wanted to wait for them to leave.

“It’s not unusual for guests to feel emotional when they discover the story behind our
food,” says Patrick Navis. “Not to mention when they taste it. One even cried with happiness.” The setting for these tearful scenes Navis’s restaurant in a Dutch city. Here, the owner and his team create experimental food using herbs, roots, flowers and nuts— some common, others less so.
Most of these ingredients come from the Ketelbroek Food Forest nearby. To the untrained eye, it’s like an ordinary wood. But there’s one key difference: everything in it is edible (可食用的). It was set up in 2009 by Dutch botanist and environmentalist Noah Eck as an experiment in slow farming, to see what would happen if the right combination of food plants were left to grow together like a natural forest, without chemicals.
“It’s the first ‘food forest’ of its kind in Europe and we’re one of the few restaurants around the world cooperating in this way,” says Navis. “We have over 400 different species of edible
plants we plan our menus around, including some we previously knew little about.” He harvests the ingredients and, with his fellow chefs, works them into beautifully presented tasting menus, served in a dining room hidden in the backstreets ofthe city,
“To us, fine dining is not about the fame of a restaurant, its location, expensive decoration, fancy cooking and wine list,” says Navis. “It’s about adding value through creativity and using
ingredients nobody knows of, which are grown with great attention.” However, he adds, luxury cooking can be about enhancing everyday ingredients, too.
“When looking at cooking in this way, who can argue that caviar (鱼子酱), for example, is more valuable than a carrot grown with specialist knowledge ”
Experimentation is extremely important to Navis. In the next five years, he hopes to open
an outdoor restaurant. But for now, the most important thing is to continue focusing on how plants are being grown and the perennial system used in the Food Forest, reducing the need for
replanting each season.
40 .What can we learn about Navis’s restaurant
A .It is known for its rare food sources. B .It serves food with moving stories.
C .It offers experimental food for free. D .It is well received by its guests.
41 .How is Ketelbrock Food Forest different from ordinary woods
试卷第 14 页,共 26 页
A .It is a natural forest. B .Diverse plants coexist in it.
C .It provides safe food ingredients. D .Plants there take longer to grow.
42 .What is the key element of fine dining according to Navis

C .Innovative menus. D .Fancy cooking techniques.
43 .What does “the perennial system” in the last paragraph probably refer to
A .Farming with proper use of chemicals. B .The sustainable farming practice.

Passage 2
(24-25 学年高二下·福建南平·期中)
About 15 years ago, I was working at a sewing (=纫) machine when I lost focus and put
the needle straight through my left middle finger — the wound never quite recovered. It’s the kind of warning teachers tell new sewists, but it also creates a metaphor for a feeling that maybe
familiar to the 7.7 million people who enjoy sewing as a hobby: the effect of sewing lives on
under our skin. It’s a theme that runs through historian Barbara Burman’s book exploring the
cultural history of sewing: The Point of the Needle: Why Sewing Matters. For Barbara, her own interest in sewing is something that can be traced back through her life.
“I grew up in a poor household, and I had two very practical parents,” she recalls. “My
mother actually taught sewing, dressmaking, and soft tailoring, so I was surrounded by people
making things and talking about tools. My interest in sewing comes from an interest in the history of ordinary people, particularly women’s lives. I feel that it’s a kind ofuntold story. We’re so used to it that we don’t think about it. We put our clothes on, and there we are. But I wanted to look at what sewing actually means at an individual level, as well as a more global level.”
We notice the invention of electricity and countless other creations — but sewing, despite the fact that we couldn’t go about our daily lives without it, is often overlooked. When I ask
Barbara why the story of sewing is largely untold, she has some insight.
“Mostly because it’s connected so thoroughly with women, and women have always been, as it were, ‘second rate’,” she explains. “We’ve also lived with this quite false separation between working with our brains and working with our hands. So manual work is thought of as secondary
试卷第 15 页,共 26 页
to head work. But, in fact, our hands, and particularly our sense of touch, give us such a huge
amount of information in the world. Countless studies have confirmed how beneficial crafts can be for our mental health and well-being.”
44 .What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 imply
A .Sewing may cause physical injury to sewists.
B .Sewing is rooted in people’s life for a long time.
C .Sewing holds a deep meaning for sewing lovers.
D .Sewing is popular with a large number of people.

Passage 3
(24-25 学年高二下·福建泉州四校·期中)
Known by the Nazis as the “White Mouse”, Nancy Wake is Australia’s most celebrated World War II resistance fighter.
Hearing the name the “White Mouse”, most people would imagine that Nancy was mild,
and shy, but nothing could be further from the truth. Nancy Wake was a brave and fearless woman who took part in dangerous tasks to save the lives of Allied servicemen and war refugees.
As a journalist living in France, Nancy witnessed firsthand the cruelty of the Nazis and
试卷第 16 页,共 26 页
made up her mind to fight it any way she could. When the war started, Nancy helped hundreds of people escape to neutral ( 中立的) Spain. Placed on top of the Gestapo’s most-wanted list, Nancy was referred to as the “White Mouse” because of the way she slipped (溜走) through their fingers and avoided detection.
Nancy was sent to England in 1943 to join the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). She was trained in parachuting and surveillance (监视), throwing herself into these activities with strength and determination. She was later parachuted into France, where she helped organise and lead resistance fighters. On one memorable occasion she walked and cycled 500km through
several German checkpoints to find a radio operator. She believed that being female allowed her to pass through checkpoints that no one else could get through.
Nancy received medals from Allied countries. The medals are displayed in the World War II gallery at the Australian War Memorial, and form a fitting tribute to this fearless woman, who passed away in 2011.
Perhaps the best words to underline Nancy Wake’s spirit came from her own lips: “I hate
wars and violence. But if they come, I don’t see why we women should just wave our men a proud goodbye and then make them shoes, socks and gloves.”
48 .What might most people think of Nancy Wake on hearing her nickname
A .She was a protective woman.
B .She was gentle and easily harmed.
C .She would like to tell the truth all the time.
D .She was not afraid of being involved in a war.
49 .What did Nancy Wake do at the start of the war
A .She got a full copy of the Gestapo’s most-wanted list.
B .She helped people get away from war areas.
C .She organised and led resistance fighters.
D .She left France for Spain for good.
50 .What can be learned about Nancy Wake as a female soldier
A .She fell victim to cruelty easily.
B .She died in a parachute accident.
C .She became a successful radio operator.
试卷第 17 页,共 26 页
D .She got past German checkpoints successfully.
51 .Which of the following is probably Nancy Wake’s belief
A .Women can fight on the front line.
B .Women can make a great difference at home.
C .Women should be trained to support the family.
D .Women shouldn’t put themselves in high-risk situations.
Passage 4
(24-25 学年高二下·福建漳州·期中)
Many kids who grow up in big cities have lots of opportunities to experience science
hands-on. There are zoos, museums and school field trips. But those conditions are sometimes out of reach for lower-income children. And in some rural areas, those opportunities simply don’t
exist at all.
Dan Sudran has taken it upon himself to help close the gap. Growing up as a good, studious kid in Kansas, he followed the rules and went to college, then law school. But he was confused. “I couldn’t really figure out what I was or what I was supposed to be,” Sudran says. Sudran finally
had his answer in his late 30s. He started taking apart electronics and collecting materials from the beach. In school, science had held no interest for him at all. But out in the real world, it turned out to be the thing he’d been missing all along. “My life becomes better since I got into science.”
Sudran says.
And that inspired him. What if he could give children the same experience he’d waited 30 years to discover So Sudran got a college to donate some space and equipment. Pretty soon, a small nonprofit project called the Community Science Workshop Network was born.
Today there are six workshops, almost all in low-income neighborhoods around California. One of the workshops is filled with stuff: microscopes, power tools, even a turtle and a snake.
There’s no curriculum, nothing to memorize but tools to play and experiment with. Eighth-grader Jose Vega is working hard at building a robot while Esteban Espinoza, 6, is getting tadpoles(蝌蚪) out of a tank to examine them under a microscope. One group of kids are spreading out on the
floor, trying to figure out how to build a hot air balloon.
Sudran’s dream, he says, is to take this model of quick hands-on science all over the world.
试卷第 18 页,共 26 页
Next up, Sudran hopes, will be the small Southern California desert town of Coachella.
52 .What can we know about Dan Sudran from the first two paragraphs
A .He had vast experience in field trips. B .He makes a clear plan for his life.
C .He has a strong sense of responsibility. D .He showed an interest in science at school.

Passage 1
(24-25 学年高二下·福建泉州科技中学·期中)
This summer, I marked what some call a “milestone birthday”. My approach to birthdays is usually twofold: fear them in advance and bear them in the moment. But this year, I decided to
confront my birthday directly instead of tolerating it awkwardly. Rather than wait to receive cards and gifts, why not celebrate my birthday by giving presents to others Maybe turning tradition
upside down would assuage my discomfort.
Science was on my side. Studies have found that spending money on others makes us
happier than spending money on ourselves. “We observe this all over the world, even in places where people are struggling to meet their own basic needs. Charitable contributions activate the reward centres of our brain that spark for delights such as music and food,” Elizabeth Dunn, a University of British Columbia psychology professor told me.
Armed with these studies, I began planning my experiment. The gift had to be small enough to mail in an envelope and meaningful enough to touch hearts. I decided on pencils. I located a
试卷第 19 页,共 26 页
vendor (商贩) in Central California who could customize pencils. I ordered them in pink to
honour my last name. And I engraved (雕刻) them with three messages about pencils that double as messages about life: Stay sharp. Get to the point. Erasing is creating.
With my wife, I turned our kitchen table into a fulfillment centre. We printed labels, slid three pencils into a sleeve and each sleeve into an envelope. Then, in two walks to our
neighbourhood post office, we sent 98 gifts out to the world.
A few days later, I got texts and emails from the pencil recipients (收件者). I heard from
about three-fourths of them that they like the gift. Several people sent photos of their new pink
pencils along with thanks or birthday wishes. A few told me how touched they were that I thought of them. One person texted fire and heart emojis.
This exercise deepened my sense of gratitude and connection. For a few moments, I forgot I was turning okay, I’ll say the number now, 60.
56 .What does the underlined word “assuage” in Paragraph 1 mean
A .Ease. B .Cause. C .Hide. D .Express.
57 .What can we learn from Elizabeth Dunn’s words in Paragraph 2
A .People worldwide observe birthdays. B .Giving offers people more pleasure.
C .Material wealth generates charity. D .People in need are more likely to donate.
58 .Why did the author tailor the pencils pink
A .To entertain children. B .To make them striking.
C .To highlight the messages on them. D .To bear a mark of himself.
59 .What’s Paragraph 5 mainly about
A .How the pencils were packed and sent. B .How the author’s birthday was celebrated.
C .How people responded to the author’s gift. D .How the author reflected on the experience.

Barbara Rieco, a woman with a firm desire to become an author, witnessed the realization of her long-prized dream this Christmas season. Her grandson, Chad Cooper, played a crucial role in making it happen.
Though Rieco authored the children’s book More! More! More! as early as in 1972, the
试卷第 20 页,共 26 页
path to publication had been filled with rejections for four decades. Nevertheless, she kept trying
to publish this book. The concept of abandoning her dream simply has never crossed Rieco’s
mind. The story of More! More! More! focuses on Prissy Miss and her exploration of gratitude and the power of make-believe. It draws inspiration from Rieco’s early years in a middle-class
Philadelphia family and her later experiences at Project Head Start, where she was deeply touched by the sight of poverty and her desire to assist those in need grew.
Cooper, engaged in production and design, discovered a book file in his grandmother’s
computer during one of his visits. After his grandmother told him the story about the book file,
Cooper was moved by her perseverance (毅力), and due to the story’s potential, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
Cooper self-published the book and enlisted (争取) the talent of illustrator Yuri Moyashi to vividly bring the story to life. After its release, the TikTok video recording the moment he
presented the published book as a Christmas gift to Rieco has gained over 4 million views and
800,000 likes, causing an outpouring of admiration from viewers. Several hundred copies of the book were sold within a month, and it has an online presence on .
Encouraged by this success, plans for an audio-book and a hardcover edition are underway. Rieco has other unpublished works that she is eager to pursue, and both she and Cooper are now determined to help others realize their dreams concerning writing. This heartwarming journey not only shows the power of perseverance but also the great impact of familial support in the pursuit of one’s creative ambitions.

Passage 3
(24-25 学年高二下·福建厦门双十中学·期中)
My birth was a little more dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the world. Within minutes of coming out, I was taken away into another room while doctors gave my parents the
difficult news: I was born missing my left hand. This news would come to define the rest of my life, but thanks to a nurse’ intervention telling my parents to treat me normally. I had a relatively normal childhood. I played sports, acted in theater, excelled (出色) in school, participated in
student government and had play dates with friends. Despite some stares and polite questions about my limb (肢体) difference, I wasn’t made fun of.
As kids do, I quickly learned to adapt, working around the “missing” hand. One of my earliest memories is my father trying to teach me to tie my shoes. His two handed method
wouldn’t work for me, so I figured out a way to do it with one hand.
I started hiding disability on the first day of high school. I was 13, an age when kids are
already very self-conscious. I remember getting on the yellow school bus and one of the other kids stared just a little too long at my left arm. The staring worried me in a way it never had before, and I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand, so I impulsively (冲动地) slipped it into my pocket. For the next two decades, I kept my limb difference hidden at all times. From then on, I realized that my
missing hand made me hideous and that if people knew about it they would be scared of me and they don’t want to be around me anymore. Honestly, I was terrified that if I exposed my limb
difference that people would find me as ugly as I found myself, I felt lonely and scared all the time.
When I was 38 years old, tired of hiding and so lonely, I met someone who convinced me to stop hiding my limb difference. For the first time in my life, I allowed someone to really hold
试卷第 22 页,共 26 页
my limb, look at it, take pictures of it, touch it, love it—love me. From that point on, I saw my
limb difference as something unique and beautiful about me, something that should be shown, not hidden.
Unhiding my hand made everything in my life better. It was a transformational experience, and through that process, I learned to love myself. This ability to love myself changed how I lived my entire life, and it made me happier.

66 .What can be inferred about the author’s emotional state in high school

D .Envious and insecure.
67 .What is the main message the author wants to convey
A .Actions speak louder than words. B .Be yourself, everyone else is taken.
C .Practice makes perfect. D .Better late than never.

Passage 1

Drew Lanham grew up on the farm his grandfather built in Edgefield County, S. C. in the 1920s. Lanbam, now 54, says his father felt a responsibility to stay on the land and care for the
试卷第 23 页,共 26 页
animals and crops there. To Lanham, that family land was connected with his love for birds. He would spend hours observing birds like the prairie warbler and the bobwhite quail when he was young.
Lanbam said he believed from a very early age he would be someone who studied birds. However, he lost track of that dream on the road to becoming an engineer. “Before I left for
college, everyone around me said, “You’re good at math and science. Be an engineer. Make money, Drew. And for a while, I tried that, but hated every last moment of it,” he said.
When he took a return trip to the farm, the farm was unrecognizable. All of these
wonderful forests that he’d grown up in had been cut. But some wildlife remained. “remember the day when I left. I was driving up this dirt road, and the birds were singing ‘Zee, zee, zee’,” he said. The birds’ song lit a fire under Lanham. After his visit back to the farm, he couldn’t see himself
returning to work as an engineer. Therefore, he got on track to study to become an ornithologist (鸟类学家). Lanbam researched the eastern bluebird. “The work was often hot and bard and long hours. But there were moments when I would look up and there would be the songs of birds.
These moments made me realize that I was doing what I bad always dreamed of,” he said.
Lanham thinks that his turn towards the study of nature is carrying his father’s legacy (溃产) forward.
68 .Why did Drew Lanbam become an enginect at first
A .He enjoyed studying math and science.
B .He was persuaded by people around.
C .He wanted to make big money.
D .He lost interest in birds then.
69 .What happened during Lanham’s return trip to the farm
A .He was trapped on the dirt road.
B .He wanted to save the destroyed farm.
C .The birds reminded him of his childhood.
D .The birds awakened his love for wildlife.
70 .Based on the passage, what is the most likely reason Drew Lanham decided to become an ornithologist
A .He wanted to inherit his father’s land and continue farming.

B .He wanted to earn more money to improve his family’s life.
C .He wanted to follow his passion for nature and birds.
D .He wanted to study the migration habits of eastern bluebirds.

Passage 2
(24-25 学年高二下·福建厦门十中·期中)
More than three centuries after she made an adventurous transatlantic voyage to study
butterflies, a rare copy of the hand-coloured masterwork by the great naturalist and artist Maria Merian is returning to Amsterdam.
Metamorphosis of the Suriname is one of the most fascinating (有吸引力的) books in
natural history. It included some 60 richly coloured plates illustrating the different stages of
development that she had observed in Suriname’s insects. Metamorphosis of the Suriname is a work of art and scientific scholarship. Merian recorded the local names of plants and insects she studied. In contrast to other European naturalists, she credited local people with helping her
discover the colony’s wildlife, although didn’t name individuals.
Born in 1647 in Frankfurt, Germany, Merian learned to paint in her artist father’s
workshop, and became fascinated by silkworms, moths and butterflies. At that time, insects were believed to spring forth magically from mud, waste and plant matter in a process known as
“spontaneous generation”. While Merian was not the first to show the transformation from egg to adult insect, her artistic talents helped to bring this message to a wider audience. The pioneering work of Merian was celebrated for its scientific accuracy and for bringing a new standard of
precision to scientific illustration.
In 1691, Merian moved to Amsterdam and opened her own studio. She worked as an
independent artist and prepared specimens for a growing market of collectors. In Amsterdam,
Merian had access to some of the finest natural history collections in the world. As she associated
试卷第 25 页,共 26 页
with famous scholars, physicians and botanists, ideas for her own voyage of discovery began to take shape. At 52, she embarked on (开始) a self-funded voyage to Suriname, driven by curiosity about the lives of insects.
Her image would be dismissed as a fantasy. In the 18th century, people responded: “that’ s what you get when you send a woman to tropical places. She probably made that up”. But
scientists later confirmed her findings. The spider plate was a very good example of how Merian worked. She was a really good observer.
72 .What do we know about Metamorphosis of the Suriname
A .It won a book award for art. B .It listed the names of local helpers.
C .It recorded Merian’s transatlantic voyage. D .It was based on Merian’s own observations.
73 .What was the significance of Merian’s work
A .It had extremely high artistic value. B .It was the first natural history book.
C .It shaped our understanding of insects. D .It introduced a creative research theory.
74 .What inspired Merian’s idea of a personal journey to Suriname
A .Her encounter with noted scientists. B .Her ambition to expand her business.
C .Her dream to travel around the world. D .Her curiosity about the lives of insects.
75 .What can be inferred about nature study in Merian’s time
A .It lacked convincing evidence. B .It was conducted in tough places.
C .It was considered the domain of men. D .It greatly improved women’s social status.
