一、阅读理解
A
There is a kind of woman in the world who has the ability to accomplish the difficult challenges of their own life and to inspire others to achieve great things. They’re strong and independent, wise and successful, talented and brave, and can teach all of us a lot.
Still Alice
In this film, we can catch a glimpse of a family’s relationships, fears, concerns and struggles. The film’s main character Alice, aged 50, copes bravely with Alzheimer’s disease: she’s the perfect example of an iron-willed woman.
Julianne Moore’s amazing performance adds extra charm to this character.
Erin Brockovich
The film is about Erin Brockovich, a strong yet easily-hurt woman, but ordinary weakness is not allowed in her situation. She may not be a genius, but her persistence and concern for others allow her to achieve the impossible: a victory over a powerful and major corporation that is literally poisoning people.
When you are about to give up on something, simply watch this movie for motivation.
The Devil Wears Prada
As assistant to impossibly demanding New York fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, young Andy Sachs has landed a job that “a million girls would die for.” Unfortunately, her heaven-sent appointment as Miranda’s assistant just might be the death of her!
There’s a very classic line in the film: Let me know when your whole life goes up in smoke. That means it’s time for a promotion.
Mona Lisa Smile
This movie teaches you about dignity, courage and persistence, and the central theme is learning to have a mind of your own.
Katherine Watson is a recent UCLA graduate hired to teach art history at the all-female Wellesley College, in 1953. Determined to face up to the outdated customs of society, Katherine inspires her traditional students to challenge the lives they are expected to lead.

B
It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.
My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.
On the road to the harbor, we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps (脊背) in the distance.
On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it—there aren’t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.
The little baby whale—actually as big as our boat—was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools (漩涡) and waves. “She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe, and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.
In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.
24. The author says “I’m so glad I did.” in Para.2 because __________.
A．he witnessed the whole process of fishing
B．he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea
C．he experienced the rescue of the whales
D．he spent the weekend with his family
25. The harbour survived the storm owing to _________.
A．the shape of the harbour
B．the arms of the bay
C．the still water in the channel
D．the long coastline
26. The mother whale failed to help her baby because _________.
A．she had stayed in the polluted water for too long
B．the whirlpools she had made were not big enough
C．she had no other whales around to turn to for help
D．the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction
27. What is the theme of the story
A．Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.
B．Fishing provides excitement for children.
C．It’s necessary to live in harmony with animals.
D．It’s vital to protect the environment.
C
When Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in 1928, he found a bacteria culture he had grown was infected by fungus (霉菌), killing any colonies it touched. Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin,” and seemingly in a single stroke, created the new field of antibiotics (抗生素).
That’s how most people see innovation: A flash of brilliance and Eureka! A new world is born. The truth, however, is messier. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use.
To put Fleming’s discovery in context, consider Ignaz Semmelweis, who pioneered hand washing in maternity wards (产房), significantly reducing childbed fever but receiving scorn instead of fame. That was because in the 1850s, his ideas conflicted with the popular miasma theory, which attributed disease to “bad airs.” After his death in 1865, germ theory was accepted,paving the way for Fleming’s later work.
Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator. When he published his results in 1929, few took notice. In 1935, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming’s paper, understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity. By 1943, with World War Ⅱ raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945.
Penicillin owes much of its success to government support. For many other groundbreaking innovations like the Internet and GPS, their innovators, while carving their own path, are often uncertain of where the opportunity lies until they team up with other visionaries and corporations, who might have the resources to fast-track their ideas. So, look at any significant innovation and the myth of the lone genius and the “eureka moment” breaks down.
28. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about
A．An account of a lab story.
B．Redefinition of a traditional view.
C．Correction of a popular misconception.
D．An analysis of a scientific phenomenon
29. What is the message conveyed in paragraph 3
A．Great minds think alike.
B．The early bird catches the worm.
C．Luck’s got your back when it comes to success.
D．Early work is a stepping stone to later breakthroughs.
30. What does the underlined part “ushering in” in the paragraph 4 mean
A．Delaying.
B．Introducing.
C．Predicting.
D．Transforming.
31. Which of the following can be the best title
A．Great Innovations: Individuals Are True Heroes
B．From Failure to Success: The Story of Penicillin
C．The Lone Genius: Fleming’s Discovery of Penicillin
D．The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens
D
Imagine a future where science has created your twin. Not a flesh-and-blood twin, but one that recreates your flesh and blood, your bones, your heart, your brain — your whole body, in fact — as an extremely complicated computer model.
Your doctors can use this digital twin to work out how you will respond to a particular drug or medical procedure. They can even look further into the future, creating a “healthcast”, to forecast what diseases might happen to you or how your lifestyle will affect your health as you age. It is the ultimate in personalized medicine. This is the bold vision set out in Virtual You: How building your digital twin will revolutionize medicine and change your life by Peter Coveney, director of the Centre for Computational Science, and Roger Highfield, science director of the Science Museum Group, UK.
Digital twins are already in widespread use in industries such as civil engineering. But these model systems are much simpler than the complex human body. Imagine all the parts that come together to make you work: from the 3 billion letters of your genome (基因组), the numerous molecules (分子) that make up your cells, the trillions of cells building your tissues and organs, and the environment having its input too. Now, imagine trying to create a model of this that is made to each unique individual and that predicts the changes that will take place over a lifetime. This is easier said than done. Changes in the systems biologists want to describe are usually different from what mathematicians describe as “non-linear” (非线性的). Another complication is “emergence”: where the whole of a system is greater than the sum of its parts. This complexity challenges mathematics and pushes computing to the limit too.
But getting to the next level — a whole human individual — is going to require yet more data and a revolution in computing technology far beyond what is currently possible. Whether we will get there is an open question, but Virtual You shows us what scientists from different fields can achieve when they all work together.
32. What be learned about your science-made twin according to Paragraph 1
A．Your twin looks just like you.
B．Your twin knows your thoughts.
C．Your twin exists on the computer.
D．Your twin is created out of your DNA.
33. Why is it difficult to build a digital twin
A．Human body is more complicated than models.
B．Digital twins are not widely used in industries.
C．Scientists lack enough data in building it.
D．Mathematicians and biologists hold different opinions.
34. What’s the author’s attitude towards the idea of a digital twin
A．Optimistic.
B．Uncertain.
C．Unconcerned.
D．Skeptical.
35. What is the purpose of this text
A．To stress the necessity of digital twins.
B．To show the effects of digital twins on future health.
C．To explain the building of digital twins in health.
D．To introduce new treatments for diseases in the future.
二、七选五
Travel broadens your horizons, but it does so by shrinking your world. I recently checked into a hotel less than a mile from my house. It wasn’t fancy, but as I entered the room. I felt a sense of relief. It wasn’t what the hotel offered that made me happy, but what it lacked — mess. At home, mess can depress me. Travel releases me from it. ____36____
The magic of travel starts before we leave home. The ideal luggage is big enough to hold nearly what I need, but not enough for everything. This leads to a simple yet essential rule. ____37____ Do I really need all those sweaters, or will one do Travelers get rid of extra things for the same reason hot-air balloonists unload weight — to soar higher.
____38____ It reflects our desire to break free from the burden of endless decisions. Less stuff means fewer choices. Too many choices can confuse us and rob us of happiness. Travel helps control those choices. Life on the road is simpler and more manageable, which is why I find it appealing.
Travel is a mind game. You may feel more romantic in Paris or more relaxed in Rio de Janeiro, but those cities, wonderful as they are, can’t take all the credit. So, why the transformation ____39____ The unfamiliar surroundings simply provide the perfect backdrop for your mind to wander freely. Everything you experience while traveling could also be experienced at home, but it’s much harder.
We are like racehorses, focused ahead. A good journey is like a pair of shades, keeping us fixed on what matters. ____40____ As William James noted, “The essence of genius is knowing what to overlook.” This wisdom can help us find contentment on the road.
A．Escaping from chaos is travel’s true gift.
B．Pack light — it forces me to choose carefully.
C．This act of choice is the first step toward a new path.
D．The simplicity is more about psychology than space.
E．Travel blocks out life’s distractions and sharpens our focus.
F．By clearing physical mess, we subconsciously gain mental mess.
G．Real changes happen because you give yourself permission to feel that way.

六、读后续写
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。
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night Did he get tired Have doubts Did he want to quit I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.
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。
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation.

A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. My teacher called me to his office and told me I won the first prize. I stood there shocked, never imagining I could make it. He handed me the certificate and praised my unique story told from the horse’s view. I held the paper tightly, warm joy filling my heart. All those repeated rewrites and hard efforts finally paid off. The award ceremony was held the next day, and I stepped onto the stage nervously but proudly to receive my prize.
I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. I thanked him repeatedly for pushing me to take part in the contest. Without his encouragement, I would never have discovered my love for writing. He smiled and told me the prize was not the greatest gain; what mattered was that I overcame my fear and found pleasure in expressing myself. From then on, I kept writing regularly, and writing gradually became my favorite way to record my feelings and stories.
