Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times.Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for science,one of the highest honors in the world.Some women scientists never
married,some worked with their husbands,and others raised large
families.It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.
In the early 1800s in England,Mary Anning became one of the first women recognised for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth.Mary and her father collected fossils in their village on the south coast of Great Britain.Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.
When she was only twelve years old,Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons of several animals that no longer existed on earth.She didn’t become famous for her
discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.
In 1891,a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics.She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland.She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie.Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together.They received the Nobel Prize for
physics in 1903 along with another scientist.Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911,this time for chemistry.Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist.

Over the next 20 years,we are going to send more and better
robots to Mars.Those robots will send back better
pictures,maps,samples,and weather reports.There is a limit to what
robots can tell us,though,so eventually we will have to send people
to study the planet.Before people can visit Mars,we need to invent
a spaceship that can take us there.Mars is very far away.Depending on where Mars and Earth are in their orbits (轨道) around the sun,it could take between six months to a year to get there.
The moon is much closer,and we were there,25 years ago.Over the next 10 years,we are going to work on building a new spacecraft that can go to the moon.Using this craft,we will practise the skills we need to go to Mars.
Once we get to the moon,we are going to build a station so that
people can live and work on the moon for months at a time.This is
important so that we have a place to start from when we want to visit Mars,but it is also important because it gives us practice with living away from Earth.
By the time you are old enough to be an astronaut,we will have people spending months on the moon.By the time you are old enough to be a commander of a space mission we will be taking trips to
Mars.By the time your kids are old enough to be astronauts,we may
have people living on Mars.Wouldn’t it be cool to get a postcard
from someone who was building a house on Mars?Wouldn’t it be
cooler if it was you who sent the postcard?

Terry Evanshen was one of Canadian football’s greatest receivers.He played every down (进攻) as if it was his last.Though he had made great achievements,Terry’s memories of his playing days have been completely lost.
It was in the summer of 1988 after he retired from playing that his career in sales was taking off.One day in July,Terry,on his way home from work,had a terrible car accident.He was knocked
unconscious,and within minutes he was rushed to the nearby hospital.Three weeks later,he woke up.However,it became obvious that
Terry’s injuries were far more serious than whatever damage had
been done to his body.A lifetime of memories had been completely
wiped clean.He had been all but reduced to the level of a baby;everything from his ability to talk and walk to his
understanding of what it meant to be a husband and a father was all gone.
At age 44,Terry Evanshen would be starting all over again.Luckily he had the support of his family,helped by small
victories and a renewed bond between him and his three daughters like when they taught him how to play football again.
In 1992,his recovery really began to pick up steam.It has taken years to rebuild his shattered (破碎的) life,but today,more than 20 years since his playing days,Terry is a popular public speaker.He tells his story of perseverance (坚持不懈) and courage.“Never forget,we’re all in this game of life together.We will get to the finishing line,one day at a time,one moment at a time,but celebrate the journey.Seize today,because yesterday is gone and is never coming back.” As the subject of the most watched Canadian movie of 2005,The Man Who Lost Himself,Evanshen says his family has been his
most important treasure.He refuses to be a victim,saying he is a
survivor.

Why should mankind explore space?Why should money,time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits?Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth?These are questions that,understandably,are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings.What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains,and on into all possible areas and environments?The wider the spread of a species,the better its chance of survival.Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civilization has explored,because by doing so,any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for.Without knowledge,we may be completely destroyed by the danger.With knowledge,we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found.Even if we have no immediate need of
them,they will perhaps be useful later.Resources may be more than
physical possessions.Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives.We have already benefited from other unexpected benefits including improvements in earthquake prediction,in satellites for weather forecasting and in communication systems.Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return,the exploration of space allows creative,brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was
formed or how it works,it also holds dangers.The danger exists,but knowledge can help human beings to survive.Without the ability to reach out across space,the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
While Earth is the only planet known to support life,surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other
planets.It is true that the lifestyle would be different,but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。人类为什么要进行太空探索?随着这一问题的提出,作者从人类天性的角度深入剖析了人类进行太空探索的动机以及从中获得的益处——太空探索可以帮助我们避免地球上潜在的一些问题。 32.Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1? A.To express his doubts. B.To compare different ideas.
C.To introduce points for discussion. D.To describe the conditions on Earth. 答案C
解析推理判断题,是对作者写作目的和意图的推断。作者提出这些问题是为了引出下文要讨论的观点,故选C项。
33.What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2? A.Humans are nature-born to do so. B.Humans have the tendency to fight.
C.Humans may find new sources of food.
D.Humans don’t like to stay in the same place. 答案A
解析细节理解题。由第二段第一句“Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings.”和此段最后一句“Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.”可知A项正确。
34.What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets? A.Our genetic makeup. B.Resources on the earth.
C.The adaptive ability of humans.
D.By-products in space exploration. 答案C
解析细节理解题。由倒数第二段最后一句“Without the ability to reach out across space,the chance to save ourselves might not exist.”和最后一段中的“It is true that the lifestyle would be different,but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.”可以得出人类的适应能力使得人类居住在其他星球成为可能。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Space is where our future is—trips to the Moon,Mars and beyond. 36 But,since our space journey started we have left so much trash (垃圾) there that scientists are now concerned that if we don’t clean it up,we may all be in great danger.
The first piece of space junk was created in 1964,when the American satellite Vanguard I stopped operating and lost its connection with the ground center. 37
38 The junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped off rockets to cameras,huge fuel tanks,and even odd items like the million-dollar tool kit that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn Piper
lost during a spacewalk.
39 Moreover,pieces of junk may crash with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the Earth. 40 Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space
shuttles.Future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations to stop littering in space and to clean up the trash already there.
A.But how should we deal with so much trash? B.I’m sure future plans will make a difference.
C.To avoid this,scientists have invented several ways for clearing the sky.
D.Most people would think that aside from comets (彗星) and stars there is little else out there.
E.The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spaceship.
F.It is said that there are now over 500,000 pieces of man-made trash orbiting the Earth at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour. G.However,since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any results,scientists became increasingly comfortable abandoning (抛弃) things that no longer served any useful purpose in space. 答案与解析 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了太空垃圾的形成、危害以及可能的应对方法。
36.D 根据后文的but以及后文提到太空垃圾的问题,可知此空所表达的意思应该和这个相反,所以选D项。
37.G 空格前提到了最早的太空垃圾satellite VanguardⅠ,所以接下来继续谈论这个问题,因此选G项,此项中的it代指的是satellite VanguardⅠ。
38.F 由后文的“The junk”可知此处特指上文提到过的太空垃圾,也就是本选项中的trash。
39.E 由后文的“Moreover,pieces of junk may crash with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the Earth.”可知这部分谈论太空垃圾的害处,由Moreover可知此空也该表达这个意思,因此选E项。
40.C 为了避免上文提到的危害,科学家们发明了清理天空的方法。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)

答案与解析 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。伽利略出生于意大利,是一个天文学家、哲学家和物理学家。由于他巨大的成就,他被称为“现代天文学之父”。 56.scientific 考查词形转换。修饰名词revolution用形容词形式。
57.achievements 考查名词的复数。
58.is considered 考查被动语态。伽利略的成绩被认为是对亚里士多德成绩的突破。主语the work与consider之间是被动关系,因此填is considered。
59.particularly 考查形容词和副词的转换。此空用副词作状语。
60.who/that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,“ 60 experimented”
是定语从句,从句中缺少谓语动词experiment的主语,因此填who/that。
61.conclusion 考查名词。根据空前的his可知此空填名词。
62.to turn 考查非谓语动词。当中心词是序数词或者由序数词修饰的时候,其后的定语用不定式。
63.it 考查代词。此空it用作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式。
64.convinced 考查非谓语动词。convince意为“使某人相信”,此空表示伽利略发现使人们相信他的理论很难。people和convince之间是被动关系,因此填convinced。
65.to 考查介词。stick to是固定搭配,意为“坚持”。stick to one’s views“坚持某人的观点”。

参考范文 Dear Chris,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re suffering from online game addiction.I completely understand how you feel and I’m writing to help you with the problem.
Actually,long-time exposure to online games affects not only
your academic performance but also your health.I’d like to offer you some suggestions.First of all,start some other hobbies,such as reading and working out regularly,which will take your mind off the game and help you resist the temptation.Besides,it is also a
necessity to have a heart-to-heart conversation with your parents.
I hope these ideas can help you get rid of your addiction as soon as possible.
Best wishes! Yours,
Li Hua

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。
For many years,I had a recurring (重复出现的) dream.I was a little girl again,rushing about,trying to get ready for school.
“Hurry,you’ll be late for school,” my mother called to me. “I am hurrying,Mom!What did I do with my books?”
Deep inside I knew where the dream came from.It was about some unfinished business in my life.As a kid,I loved everything about school.I loved books,teachers,tests and homework.Most of all I longed to someday march down the aisle (通道) to receive my diploma.That seemed more appealing even than getting married.
But at 15,I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition (学费).My hope of getting a diploma was dead,or so I thought.Pretty soon,I married and had three children,and I thought:“There goes my diploma.”
Even so,I wanted my children to be educated.But Linda,our
youngest child,had juvenile arthritis (幼年型关节炎) in her hands
and knees,which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom.I felt really sorry for her and I didn’t want her to live her life with regret.I didn’t give up hope of her being back to school in some way.
One day,I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening
courses.“That’s the answer,” I said to myself.Linda always feels better in the evening,so I’ll just sign her up for night school.
Linda was busy filling out enrollment (入学) forms when the
secretary said:“Mrs Schantz,why don’t you come back to school?” I laughed:“There’s no way!I’m 55!” But he persisted,and before I knew what I had done,I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts.“This is only an experiment,” I warned him,but he just smiled.So,I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work.Anyway,my dream was still there in my heart.
注意:续写的词数应为150左右。
It was exciting to go to school again but
my diploma.To my surprise,almost all of my classmates voted for me to be class speaker,and I got a $3,000 college scholarship.The unfinished business in my dreams was eventually finished.
Linda and I saw each other through the time. 参考范文
It was exciting to go to school again but it was no
game.Sitting in a classroom full of kids was awkward,even if most of them were respectful and encouraging.During the day,I was still a busy married woman having loads of housework to do.In the evening,I was a hardworking student working on my courses.To my surprise,both Linda and I did very well in night school.I went back again the next semester,and my grades steadily improved.
Linda and I saw each other through the time.When I was
down,Linda encouraged me.“Mom,you can’t quit now!” And when she was down,I encouraged her.I have to say it was a time which was really hard on both of us.But neither of us gave up.At last,I got
