You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years
Jane Addams(1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson(1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks(1913-2005)
On December 1,1955,in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
1. What is Jane Addams noted for in history
A. Her social work.
B. Her teaching skills.
C. Her efforts to win a prize.
D. Her community background.

C. Sandra Day O’Connor. D. Rosa Park.
3. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text

【1题详解】
A
细节理解题。根据Jane Addams部分的Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace.可知Jane Addams在历史上主要以她的社会工作而出名，贡献A.
【2题详解】
D
细节理解题。根据Rosa Parks部分的It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement.可知Rosa Parks因在公交车上拒绝为白人让座而拉开了民权运动的序幕，所以她对美国民权运动做出了很大贡献，贡献D.
【3题详解】
C
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知Jane Addams是第一个获诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性；Rachel Carson的作品Silent Spring 提高了人们对污染的危险性和化学物质对人类和环境的危害性的认识；Sandra Day O’Connor是美国首位联邦最高法院女法官；Rosa Parks的行为拉开了民权运动的序幕；她们都是先锋者，故选C.
【名师点睛】
推理判断题的解题方法：
推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了做出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。此类题要求在理解表面文字的基础上，做出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。
本文涉及到的是根据文意推测文章的观点或结论。如小题3根据In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.可知Jane Addams是第一个获诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性；Rachel Carson的作品Silent Spring 提高了人们对污染的危险性和化学物质对人类和环境的危害性的认识；根据in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court.可知Sandra Day O’Connor是美国首位联邦最高法院女法官；根据It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. 可知Rosa Parks的行为拉开了民权运动的序幕；由四个人的贡献可知她们都是各领域先锋者，都是pioneers.
B
Electrical devices (电子仪器) could soon use power made by human energy. Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking, British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.
The device connects to a person’s knee. As the person walks, the device captures energy each time the person slows down. To do this, the device helps with the slowing down movement of the leg, the movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity. Using the device, an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute. Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes.
There are several possible uses for the device. Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers. The device could also be used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers (起博器) and it could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.
The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy, but the researchers hope to make a lighter, less costly version. An improved version should be ready in one year.
The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries; nearly twenty five percent of people around the world live without electric power.
A similar product was invented in 2005 by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania. He created a bag carried on a person’s back that also produces power from walking. The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag, but the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.
4. What is the disadvantage of the experimental version of the device
A. It is too heavy for the walker to bear.
B. It is too complex for people to use.
C. It is too expensive for most people to afford.
D. It will slow down one’s walking speed.
5. Compared with the device designed by Larry Rome, this new device________.
A. produces power without adding a heavy load to the walker
B. can produce more power in a much shorter time
C. needs to be equipped with a battery
D. can help the walker walk faster
6. What would be the best title for the passage
A. First device powered by walking will soon be on the market.
B. Advanced technology brings in a new way to operate heart pacemakers.
C. Device gives new meaning to the idea of power walking.
D. Human energy will become a main source of electricity.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家研制出一种固定在人膝盖上的发电装置，这种装置可以通过收集人走路时消耗的能量发电。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy（该设备的实验版本重约1.5公斤，但对大多数人来说太贵了）”可知，这个装置的实验版本的缺点是它太贵了，大多数人都买不起。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag, but the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.（膝盖装置产生的电能不如背包少，但背包需要步行者背负20到30公斤的负重。）”可知，与拉里·罗马(Larry Rome)设计的装置相比，这种新装置在不增加步行者负重的情况下产生动力。故选A。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Electrical devices could soon use power made by human energy. Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking, British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.（电子设备很快就可以使用人类能量产生的能量。英国科学家Max Donelan和加拿大和美国的其他科学家研发了一种通过人走路的物理运动来发电的实验装置。）”可知，文章主要介绍了科学家研制出一种固定在人膝盖上的发电装置，这种装置可以通过收集人走路时消耗的能量发电。C项：Device gives new meaning to the idea of power walking.（赋予了快步走这个概念新的含义的装置。）符合题意。故选C。
C
My best friend and I made our first trip to Ireland less than a year ago. I wasn’t very excited about it at the very beginning. But my uncle wanted me to go and offered to pay for my trip. Then I did. All of the words “magical charming or memorable” don’t even touch what Ireland is. Our favorites were Kilkenny, Cobh, and Killarney. We did a self-drive tour, which was not as hard as people made it sound.
We stayed in a castle in Dublin for two days, where my ancestors came from. The town we thought we might be bored in was Kilkenny, but we loved every minute we were there. There were so many places to explore and the pictures we took were beautiful.
Our driver was so informative and entertaining that he knew just where to stop for the best photos. And seeing the little village of Cobh and knowing it was the last stop for the Titanic were so touching. We loved the visitor’s center there and the little shops. We never got any bad food there. It was so mouth-watering at every stop! And when we stayed in Westmeath and looked out for our window to see the Trim Castle and found some scenes from Brave Heart were filmed there, we were so impressed. Again, more beautiful pictures were taken in that tiny town.
We love the country, the people, the food, and the magic! We would go back very soon. I was so indebted to my uncle who had given me the chance to be here.
The one piece of advice I would offer is to bring your own washcloths. Only one of our hotels supplied them, because people there think they are not environmentally-friendly. I have no words to adequately describe our trip. Go, explore the small villages, eat and enjoy! I still look at my pictures and can’t believe I was actually there.
7. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage ________
A. The writer didn’t show great interest in visiting Ireland at first.
B. The trip was more exciting than they expected.
C. They had thought the self-drive tour was very easy.
D. It was the first time for the writer to visit Ireland.
8. How did the writer find Kilkenny ________
A. It was not interesting at all. B. It was also a wonderful place.
C. It needed to open up to visitors more. D. It was not worth staying at for a long time.
9. What can be inferred from the passage ________
A. Their driver helped a lot during the journey. B. The Titanic was filmed in Cobh.
C. The writer knew nothing about Brave Heart. D. The writer visited the Trim Castle alone.
10. What does the underlined word “indebted” most probably mean in Paragraph 5 ________
A. Angry. B. Amazed. C. Stressed. D. Thankful.
【答案】7. C 8. B 9. A 10. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者和朋友的一次自驾游旅行以及旅途中的所见所闻。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“We did a self-drive tour, which was not as hard as people made it sound.(我们进行了自驾游，这并不像人们说的那么难)”可知，C选项“他们认为自驾游很容易”与原文不符。故选C。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The town we thought we might be bored in was Kilkenny, but we loved every minute we were there. There were so many places to explore and the pictures we took were beautiful.(我们原来觉得小镇Kilkenny会让我们无聊，但我们喜欢在那里的每一分钟。有很多地方可以探索，我们拍的照片很美)”可知，作者发现Kilkenny也是一个很棒的地方。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Our driver was so informative and entertaining that he knew just where to stop for the best photos.(我们的司机是如此的有知识和有趣，他知道在哪里停车可以拍下最好的照片)”可推知，他们的司机一路上帮了很多忙。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。结合上文提到作者进行了一次愉快的旅行，和画线词后文“my uncle who had given me the chance to be here”可知，叔叔给了作者来到这里的机会，所以作者感激叔叔。故画线词意思是“感激的”。A. Angry.愤怒的；B. Amazed.惊讶的；C. Stressed.紧张的；D. Thankful.感谢的。故选D。

【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了咖啡因存在的食物和饮料，并说明了过量的咖啡因摄入带来的害处。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：你可能从孩提时代就开始服用咖啡因了。根据since childhood可知，句子为现在完成时。如果强调一直使用，用现在完成进行时。主语为第二人称you。故填have used/have been using。
2.考查时态。句意：咖啡因存在于你的第一份可乐。根据your first Coke可知，句子的时态为一般过去时，主语为Caffeine，不可数名词，be动词用was。故填was。
3.考查副词。句意：最近，咖啡因已经存在于橙汁，苹果汁和其它调味果汁了。空处为副词，修饰动词，用recently。故填Recently。
4.考查连词。句意：少量的咖啡因——每天一杯或两杯咖啡——对大多数人来说似乎是安全的。分析句子，a cup与two为选择关系，用连词or。故填or。
5.考查介词。句意：然而，有些人即使吃一点点也会有问题。观察句子，have trouble in为固定搭配，意思为：……中有困难。故填in。
6.考查代词。句意：在下午晚些时候或晚上喝一杯咖啡会让他们几乎整晚都保持清醒。空格作cause的宾语，用人称代词宾格形式them。故填them。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意：大量的咖啡因会导致咖啡因中毒。空处修饰problem，作后置定语，call与problem构成动宾关系，因此，用call的过去分词。故填called。
8.考查主语从句。句意：咖啡因也有可能导致人类的出生缺陷。分析句子可知，为It作形式主语的主语从句，从句部分陈述一件事实，用that引导从句部分。故填that。
9.考查名词。句意：一项研究表明，怀孕期间喝大量咖啡的女性，比如每天喝八杯或更多咖啡的女性更有可能生出有出生缺陷的孩子。根据句意可知，此处表示女性这一类群体，用名词复数women。故填women。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。be likely to do“有做……的倾向”为固定搭配。空处填写不定式to have。故填to have。

第四节 读后续写(满分25分)
57. 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。
One morning, my family and I woke up and went to eat breakfast——until we heard barking and scratching at the door. When my mom opened the door, we saw a puppy(小狗). We looked around to see if we saw its owner, but there was no one. We took it inside and fed it.
Regardless of how badly I wanted to keep the puppy, we decided to look for the owner. We looked all day, but we failed. We talked about whether we should keep looking or if we should look the next day. We all agreed to look for its owner the next day.
So, the next day my family and I looked for the dog's owner. It was so hard looking for its owner. We were looking for flyers(传单)that involved the puppy, but no luck. We wouldn't have quit because it's a puppy.
“We won't stop looking,” my mom and dad said. We were going to take care of the puppy until we found its owner.
When we woke up in the morning, we went to a pet shop to buy the puppy some dog food. After that we went back home to feed the puppy the dog food that we had just bought. After we fed the puppy, we gave it a nice bath. It was so dirty that the fur was black and sticky, but after we gave it a bath, it turned white.And I noticed there was a collar (狗项圈)on him, which said “Coby”. After we gave him a bath, we went to look for the p uppy's owner, but my mom stayed at home, and it was only my dad and me this time.
We continued looking more and more until we found flyers. “We looked at it.”it said.
“Lost Dog: Please Help if Found.” Then we looked at the picture;it looked exactly like Coby. We were all happy we found a flyer that was for Cody.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
There was a phone number on the flyer.

We found the lady’s house, and then we knocked on the door.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
There was a phone number on the flyer. My dad called it and someone answered; it was a lady. My dad asked whether she was the one who put out the flyers. She said “Yes!” with excitement and told us Coby, who was very dear to her, had been gone days before. Then we told her that we had her puppy and we would take him to her. She told us her address at once; then we went to it.
We found the lady’s house, and then we knocked on the door. A lady opened the door, and when she saw the puppy, she screamed with joy. We handed her the puppy, feeling proud. She wanted to give us a reward for taking care of her puppy for her, but we said it was OK because we were really happy to help. So we went home tired but content, telling my mom the whole thing. My family became friends with the lady, and we were all happy.

You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years
Jane Addams(1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson(1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks(1913-2005)
On December 1,1955,in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.

Electrical devices (电子仪器) could soon use power made by human energy. Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking, British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.
The device connects to a person’s knee. As the person walks, the device captures energy each time the person slows down. To do this, the device helps with the slowing down movement of the leg, the movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity. Using the device, an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute. Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes.
There are several possible uses for the device. Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers. The device could also be used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers (起博器), and it could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.
The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy, but the researchers hope to make a lighter, less costly version. An improved version should be ready in one year.
The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries; nearly twenty five percent of people around the world live without electric power.
A similar product was invented in 2005 by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania. He created a bag carried on a person’s back that also produces power from walking. The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag, but the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.
4. What is the disadvantage of the experimental version of the device
A. It is too heavy for the walker to bear.
B. It is too complex for people to use.
C. It is too expensive for most people to afford.
D. It will slow down one’s walking speed.
5. Compared with the device designed by Larry Rome, this new device________.
A. produces power without adding a heavy load to the walker
B. can produce more power in a much shorter time
C. needs to be equipped with a battery
D. can help the walker walk faster
6. What would be the best title for the passage
A First device powered by walking will soon be on the market.
B. Advanced technology brings in a new way to operate heart pacemakers.
C. Device gives new meaning to the idea of power walking.
D. Human energy will become a main source of electricity.
C
My best friend and I made our first trip to Ireland less than a year ago. I wasn’t very excited about it at the very beginning. But my uncle wanted me to go and offered to pay for my trip. Then I did. All of the words “magical, charming or memorable” don’t even touch what Ireland is. Our favorites were Kilkenny, Cobh, and Killarney. We did a self-drive tour, which was not as hard as people made it sound.
We stayed in a castle in Dublin for two days where my ancestors came from. The town we thought we might be bored in was Kilkenny, but we loved every minute we were there. There were so many places to explore and the pictures we took were beautiful.
Our driver was so informative and entertaining that he knew just where to stop for the best photos. And seeing the little village of Cobh and knowing it was the last stop for the Titanic were so touching. We loved the visitor’s center there and the little shops. We never got any bad food there. It was so mouth-watering at every stop! And when we stayed in Westmeath and looked out for our window to see the Trim Castle and found some scenes from Brave Heart were filmed there, we were so impressed. Again, more beautiful pictures were taken in that tiny town.
We love the country, the people, the food, and the magic! We would go back very soon. I was so indebted to my uncle who had given me the chance to be here.
The one piece of advice I would offer is to bring your own washcloths. Only one of our hotels supplied them, because people there think they are not environmentally-friendly. I have no words to adequately describe our trip. Go, explore the small villages, eat and enjoy! I still look at my pictures and can’t believe I was actually there.
7. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage ________
A. The writer didn’t show great interest in visiting Ireland at first.

57. 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。
One morning, my family and I woke up and went to eat breakfast——until we heard barking and scratching at the door. When my mom opened the door, we saw a puppy(小狗). We looked around to see if we saw its owner, but there was no one. We took it inside and fed it.
Regardless of how badly I wanted to keep the puppy, we decided to look for the owner. We looked all day, but we failed. We talked about whether we should keep looking or if we should look the next day. We all agreed to look for its owner the next day.
So, the next day my family and I looked for the dog's owner. It was so hard looking for its owner. We were looking for flyers(传单)that involved the puppy, but no luck. We wouldn't have quit because it's a puppy.
“We won't stop looking,” my mom and dad said. We were going to take care of the puppy until we found its owner.
When we woke up in the morning, we went to a pet shop to buy the puppy some dog food. After that we went back home to feed the puppy the dog food that we had just bought. After we fed the puppy, we gave it a nice bath. It was so dirty that the fur was black and sticky, but after we gave it a bath, it turned white.And I noticed there was a collar (狗项圈)on him, which said “Coby”. After we gave him a bath, we went to look for the p uppy's owner, but my mom stayed at home, and it was only my dad and me this time.
We continued looking more and more until we found flyers. “We looked at it.”it said.
“Lost Dog: Please Help if Found.” Then we looked at the picture;it looked exactly like Coby. We were all happy we found a flyer that was for Cody.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
There was a phone number on the flyer.
