Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Rosalind Franklin always liked facts. She was logical and precise, and impatient with things that were otherwise. She decided to become a scientist when she was 15. She passed the examination for admission to Cambridge University in 1938, and it sparked a family crisis. Although her family was well-to-do and had a tradition of public service and charity, her father disapproved of university education for women. He refused to pay.An aunt stepped in and said Franklin should go to school, and she wouldpay for it. Franklin’s mother also took her side until her father finallygave in.She was invited to King’s College in London to join a team ofscientists. The leader of the team assigned her to work on DNA with agraduate student. Franklin’s assumption was that it was her own project. The laboratory’s second-in-command, Maurice Wilkins, was on vacation at the time, and when he returned, their relationship was puzzling. He assumed she was to assist his work; she assumed she’d be the only one working on DNA. They had powerful personality differences as well: Franklin direct, quick, decisive, and Wilkins shy, hesitant, and passive.In 1953, Wilkins changed the course of DNA history by disclosing, without Franklin’s permission, her Photo 51 to competing scientist James Watson, who was working on his own DNA model with Francis Crick at Cambridge. Upon seeing the photograph, Watson said, “My jaw fell open and my pulse began to race,” according to author Brenda Maddox who wrote the book Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA.The two scientists did in fact use what they saw in Photo 51 as the basis for their famous model of DNA, which they published on March 7, 1953, and for which they received a Nobel Prize in 1962. Crick and Watson were also able to take most of the credit for the finding: they included a footnote acknowledging that they were “stimulated by a general knowledge”of Franklin’s and Wilkin’s unpublished contribution, when much of their work was rooted in Franklin’s photo and findings. Franklin didn’t know that these men based their article on her research, and she didn’t complain either, likely as a result of her upbringing. Franklin “didn’t do anything that would invite criticism… (that was) bred into her,” Maddox said.66. Wilkins’ relationship with Franklin was characterized by __________.A. unity and harmonyB. confusion and competitionC. cooperation and miscommunicationD. misunderstanding and conflict67. What does Watson mean by saying “My jaw fell open and my pulse began to race”?A. He was confused that Crick had not made this discovery.B. He was surprised that Wilkins had discovered this information.C. He was satisfied with the importance of Photo 51.D. He was anxious about the progress Wilkins and Franklin had made.68. What is Brenda Maddox’s main intention according to the quote in the last paragraph?A. To re-evaluate the importance of the DNA model.B. To criticize King’s College and Cambridge.C. To emphasize Franklin’s importance in science.D. To den y Watson’s and Crick’s contribution to science.69. Franklin’s career as a scientist demonstrates _________.A. that her work was pointing at the most difficult problemB. that she was the only female scientist during the periodC. the importance of DNA in modern scienceD. that perseverance leads to success and recognition of field scientists70. The reviewer admires Brian Aldiss’ ability to ___________.A. write so many novelsB. continue to be inventive in his writingC. write disturbing plotsD. have a writing career spanning over four decades71. Why does the setting of Jin-Shei appeal to the reviewer?A. It is a good science of fiction setting.B. It is mysterious.C. It is a less common choice of setting.D. It is very magical.72. Terry Brook’s novel continues a series on ___________.A. the adventures of an unsuspecting hero and his attempts to rescue his auntB. a quest about the High Druid of Shannara in a secret chamber in ParanorC. the disappearance of a druid which foils the plans of the enemiesD. liberating a stranded aunt who is key to the knowledge of the Forbidding(C)Aisling’s mother died at midsummer. She had fallen sick so suddenly that some of the villagers wondered if the fairies had come and taken her, for she was still young and beautiful. She was buried three days later beneath the hawthorn tree(山楂树) behind the house, just as twilight was darkening the sky.Maire Solanya, the village greenwitch, came that evening to perform the old rituals over the grave. She stood at the foot of the mound of black soil. Aisling and her father stood at the head of it, resting on the simple headstone, was the burning candle. Aisling’s father had lit it shortly after Elinor died, and it would burn all night. The gravestone was a plain piece of slate carved with her name: Elinor. Grass and tree roots would grow up a round it as the years passed, until it would seem as if it had always been there.Maire Solanya said in her low, clear voice, “Life to life, from breath to breath, we remember Elinor.” She held a round loaf of bread in her hands. She tore off a small piece and ate it, chewing deliberately, before handing the loaf to Aisling’s father. He pulled off his own piece, then passed it to his daughter. It was still warm, and it smelled like her mother’s kitchen after baking. But it hadn’t come from her mother’s hands, and that realization made a lump rise in her throat. The bread was tasteless.Maire Solanya took the loaf from her, its crust(面包皮) gaping open, and placed it on the gravestone next to the candle. Aisling couldn’t shake the feeling that her mother had merely gone out on an errand and would come home at any moment and wonder what the three of them were doing. It didn’t seem possible that she was buried there, at the foot of the hawthorn tree, in the ground. It was easier to believe the village rumors than to sit with the ache inside herself.She remembered those rumors now, while she stood with her father and Maire Solanya in a tense silence. Everyone had always said that Elinor had some magic in her, and everyone knew that fairies –if they existed –were drawn to that. So Aisling’s father had ordered all the old rituals, even though he did not believe in them, just in case. She was not entirely sure what she herself believed, but she knew that her mother would want them to do these rituals for her, and that was enough.When the sun slipped below the horizon, the greenwitch said, “Sleep in peace, Elinor,”and scattered a gold powder over the grave to bind Elinor to the earth. On the freshly turned soil, the gold glittered like fairly dust.73. Aisling and her family are most likely __________.A. fairlies in disquiseB. simpl e village folkC. wealthy farmersD. experienced bakers74. Maire Solanya performed the rituals in order to __________.A. express thanks to the fairiesB. protect the hawthorn treeC. respect Elinor’s wishesD. capture Elinor’s spirit75. Which of the following does not describe Elinor?A. A believer in magic.B. Practical.C. Skilled at baking.D. Youthful.76. Which statement best describes Aisling’s belief in fairies?A. She is uncertain and finds the idea unsettling.B. She finds the idea comforting but is unsure.C. She is certain they exist and wishes they would bring back her mother.D. She believes strongly in the power of their rituals but not in their existence.77. Why did Aisling find the bread “tasteless”?A. It reminded her of her mother’s absence.B. It was a terribly rude thing to eat at her mother’s funeral.C. Solanya was really a poor baker in the village.D. There had not been sufficient ingredients to make the bread.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.How was it that an American ship came to be sunk by American mines in a port held by American forces?Built in1931, the luxury liner SS President Coolidge was a 10-year veteran(退伍军人) of the Pacific before she was pressed into service by the military and converted to carry troops.On October 26, 1942, towards the e nd of her first year of World War II service, the Coolidge hit an American mine in the east entrance of the Segond Channel on Espiritu Santo, one of the islands of the New Herbrides(now Vanuatu), and sank in 36 meters of water.Though all but two of the 5000 officers and men aboard were saved, the loss of the ship was a military scandal. She had escaped the Japanese during the worst part of the war in the Pacific, only to be lost because of a series of disastrous American mistakes.The master of the Coolidge, Henry Nelson, claimed he hadn’t been warned that the harbor was mined. Worse, in terms of wartime security, neither of the two US destroyers the Coolidge had encountered had challenged her. Nor had they relayed the vital information about the mines. “The first warning was from a signal station further in the harbor telling me to stop, that we were approaching danger,” he wrote.‘I, in turn, stopped the engines and backed the engines, but with the speed we were moving, we still went too far and we struck two mines. I immediately, with the speed we had left, headed the ship to the beach, and ordered “abandon ship ”, which was done and completed in 45 minutes.’‘No one mentioned to me, no one informed me, that there was a mine field in Espiritu Santo. Had there been some knowledge of mines, I never would have approached anywhere visible.’Captain Nelson was exonerated(免罪) by a court of inquiry but those responsible didnot escape blame. The port director’s office at Noumea and the inefficiency of an experienced commanding officer of a navy patrol(巡逻队) and pilot boat were blamed.Today, the Coolidge is one of the world’s best wreck dives. Much of her original luxury decoration remains, including The Lady, perhaps the most photographed underwater icon in the world. Military equipment she was transporting can also still be seen.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. The ship was “pressed into service by the military”suggests that it was ______________.79. What caused the sinking of the ship?80. Why did the ship still hit the mines after the captain stopped the engines?81. Why was the sinking of this ship a “scandal”?第II卷(共47分)I.

AFailing in something isn’t a really nice feeling, but Scotland’ s Fettes College in Edinburgh wants to show its students that failure isn’t something to fear and is actually something to accept willingly!The boarding school held “failure week” to ce lebrate taking risks and learning from them. Whether in sports or school, children often face lots of pressure to succeed and do well, and the school was becoming concerned.“Young people fro m all walks of life live in a high-pressure environment where they are trying very hard to achieve a level of perfection,” said Sue Bruce, head of personal and social education in the school.“This week at Fettes we have been focusing on one of the most mi sunderstood parts of success: failure. While we are often scared of failure, it is important to learn that it is only through failing, often many times, that we learn how to succeed. All through the week, we have looked at the experiences of some of the most successful inventors, artists and businessmen, who failed hundreds, if not thousands of times on their journey to success,” read a letter on Fettes College’s website.To celebrate failure, students were encouraged to try something they’ve never done be fore, like playing an instrument or dancing in front of audiences. A number of students stepped up and tried things that they finally failed in, but they had fun and enjoyed the experience. “The concert was extremely enjoyable, proving that we should always try not to worry about failure and have a go!” read another note on the website. Students were also taught about famous people like J.K. Rowling and Richard Branson who failed many times before they finished what they set out to do.“If they let the fear of failure stop them from doing something, they are actually stoppingthemselves from learning, developing, and potentially succeeding,”said Bruce.21. What is the purpose of the boarding school to hold “failure week”?A. To get the students involved in social activities.B. To help the students accept and learn from failure.C. To make the students study even harder.D. To teach the students how to get relaxed.22. During the “failure week” the students could do the following things EXCEPT ___________?A. taking risksB. learning from others’ experiencesC. trying something newD. trying to entertain themselves23. What can we learn from the passage?A、Many successful people are lucky and achieve success easily.B、Because we are often scared of failure ,we never succeed.C、The fear of failure can stop the students from learning and succeeding.D、The students who failed in trying new things felt depressed.BHumans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr. Jean-LoupRault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companionsare coming: robot pets.“Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990swas really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over alovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You don’t haveto feed it, you don’t have to walk it, it won’t make a mess in your house, and you can go ona holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are alle rgic to pets,short on space, or fearful of real animals.It’s not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that wecan bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animalslife sto ries. It’s the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robotdog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect ourattitudes towards liv e animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn’t needfood, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,”he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with livingand breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are inconstant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn’t have a heartbeatmight not be a far-fetched dream.24. What does the under lined phrase “sit well with” means?A. be refused byB. be beneficial toC. make a difference toD. receive support from25. What are the advantages of robot pets?a. They are plastic and feel smooth.b. Owners needn’t worry about them when going out.c. They can help cure allergies.d. They save space and costs.A. abB. bcC. bdD.cd26. We can learn from the passage that___________.A. Sony is the first company to produce robot pets Aibo.B. People can develop strong bond with their robot pets.C. Rault thinks robot pets still have a long way to go.D. Robot toys may help people care more about living beings.27. The passage mainly tells us___________.A. the advantages of robot toysB. the popularity of robot petsC. living pets are dying out.D. robot pets are coming.CLee’s mother Sun became unexpectedly pregnant while married to a disabled ma n. Doctors told her that because of a medication she had been taking her child would not be normal. She chose to continue with the pregnancy and in 1985 in Seoul, South Korea, little Hee Ah Lee was born with only two fingers on each hand, disfigurement of her legs, and slight brain injury. The hospital told Sun that she could not care for the child at home and her relatives wanted her to place the child for adoption in a foreign country. Sun, however, thought her baby would live a successful life.When Lee was a pre-schooler, Sun wanted her daughter to take piano lessons for two reasons. One was that she felt it would help her strengthen her hands so she could hold a pencil. The other was that she felt that if she could master the piano, she could master anything. For six months piano schools turned them down and then the one teacher who did accept the task got discouraged and wanted to quit. It was a three-month contest of wills between mother and daughter that led to a conflict in which Sun actually threw her daughter on the floor in frustration. But Lee got back up on the piano bench and for the first time played a children’s song. That was the turning point and one year later Lee won the grand prize in a piano concert for Kindergartners. It was at the a ge of 7 that Lee won Korea’s 19th National Handicap Conquest Contest and was presented with her award by the President of Korea.Lee has won numerous awards, and is a widely traveled concert pianist with more than 200 appearances. Her first album titled “Hee-ah, a Pianist with Four Fingers” was released in June, 2008.Lee speaks highly of her mother for challenging her to master the piano and said that although her training was difficult, “As time went by, the piano became my source of inspiration and my best friend.”28. Which of the following can best describe Sun?A. stubborn and devotedB. impatient and strictC. enthusiastic and hardworkingD. honest and responsible29. What was probably in Lee’s mind when on the floor?A. Learning piano was too difficult for her.B. Life was unfair to her.C. She would try her best to learn piano.D. Her mother didn’t love her any more.30. When was Lee awarded by the president of Korea?A. 1985B. 1992C. 2008D. 200731. What’s the best title of the passage?A. A 4-finger pianistB. Love between mother and daughterC. Learning pianoD. An abnormal girlDEvery year, millions of Americans see their personal information leak into the wrong hands. Maybe there’s spyware on the their computer, or a service they use suffered a security reach, leaving customers at the risk of exposure. Or perhaps their password is easy to guess.Don’t fear: You can easily set up proper defenses. Here’s how.● Clean Your Computer and SmartphoneBefore you put new security measures into place, make sure your devices are as spotless as possible. This means installing a good antivirus program and taking the time to clear out any spy —or malware that may have already infected your system. These days, it’s also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses. iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spyware, but Android users should download the Lookout app to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be.● Secure Your WiFiIt’s fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they’re able to share your connection —that’s why you want to be careful when using public W iFi. Even though you put security measures into place a couple of years ago, it’s a good idea to refresh your settings.● Use passwordsWhat you’ve heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numerals, letters, and cases when possible.● Check the shopping securityTake care when shopping online. Always check the security symbols when using an online site for shopping. If the lock icon encryption (加密) is not there, do not give out credit details. Also, check that the site is legal — never go to a site from a random email and start shopping online.Keep a separate credit card just for online shopping. This will make it easier to cancel if something bad does happen and your other credit card for “in real life” can still be u sed uninfluenced.Don’t store informatio n on any store’s website. It may be convenient but it’s also a possible loss to you if the site is hacked.32. This passage is mainly about ___________.A. ways of avoiding identity theftB. tips of freeing computers from virusesC. measures to ensure network securityD. steps to keep track of passwords33. To put new security measures into place, we need to ___________.A. clear out everything in the systemB. make a random selection of networkC. get rid of potential spywareD. refresh the infected system34. According to the passage, the risk of exposing personal information may possibly be causedby ___________.A. the applications of antivirus programsB. the practice of using public WiFiC. the difficult access to passwordsD. the separate credit card for online shopping35. Which of the following is an improper way to shop online?A. Adopting a unique password for every website.B. Shopping online at reliable websites.C. Keeping credit details safe by checking security symbols.D. Monitoring credit card by storing information online.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

She chose to continue with the pregnancy and in 1985 in Seoul, South Korea, little Hee Ah Lee was born with only two fingers on each hand, disfigurement of her legs, and slight brain injury. The hospital told Sun that she could not care for the child at home and her relatives wanted her to place the child for adoption in a foreign country. Sun, however, thought her baby would live a successful life.When Lee was a pre-schooler, Sun wanted her daughter to take piano lessons for two reasons. One was that she felt it would help her strengthen her hands so she could hold a pencil. The other was that she felt that if she could master the piano, she could master anything. For six months piano schools turned them down and then the one teacher who did accept the task got discouraged and wanted to quit. It was a three-month contest of wills between mother and daughter that led to a conflict in which Sun actually threw her daughter on the floor in frustration. But Lee got back up on the piano bench and for the first time played a children’s song. That was the turning point and one year later Lee won the grand prize in a piano concert for Kindergartners. It was at the age of 7 that Lee won Korea’s 19th Nati onal Handicap Conquest Contest and was presented with her award by the President of Korea.Lee has won numerous awards, and is a widely traveled concert pianist with more than 200 appearances. Her first album titled “Hee-ah, a Pianist with Four Fingers”was released in June, 2008.Lee speaks highly of her mother for challenging her to master the piano and said that although her training was difficult, “As time went by, the piano became my source of inspiration and my best friend.”28.

Maybe there’s spyware on the their computer, or a service they use suffered a security reach, leaving customers at the risk of exposure. Or perhaps their password is easy to guess.Don’t fear: You can easily set up proper defenses. Here’s how.● Clean Your Computer and SmartphoneBefore you put new security measures into place, make sure your devices are as spotless as possible. This means installing a good antivirus program and taking the time to clear out any spy — or malware that may ha ve already infected your system. These days, it’s also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses. iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spyware, but Android users should download the Lookout app to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be.● Secure Your WiFiIt’s fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they’re able to share your connection —that’s why you want to be careful when using public WiFi. Even though you put security measures into place a couple of years ago, it’s a good idea to refresh your settings.● Use passwordsWhat you’ve heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numerals, letters, and cases when possible.● Check the shopping securityTake care when shoppi ng online. Always check the security symbols when using an online site for shopping. If the lock icon encryption (加密) is not there, do not give out credit details. Also, check that the site is legal — never go to a site from a random email and start shopping online.Keep a separate credit card just for online shopping. This will make it easier to cancel if something bad does happen and your other credit card for “in real life” can still be used uninfluenced.Don’t store informatio n on any store’s website. It may be convenient but it’s also a possible loss to you if the site is hacked.32.
