Katherine Johnson,a brilliant mathematician at NASA (美国宇航局),began working on the space program in the 1950s.Many of NASA’s first missions were made possible by her amazing calculations (计算).
As a child,she loved to count.Her father placed great importance on education and insisted all four of his children go to college,working overtime to pay for it.Johnson said this atmosphere was important to her success.“I was always around people who were learning something.I liked to learn,” she said.
Johnson graduated from high school at 14 and college at 18.In 1953,Johnson started to work for NASA,doing the math that powered engineers’ work.Then,because of her outstanding talent,she was moved to work on rockets with an all-male flight research team.As for Johnson,her calculations contributed to many of NASA’s most important projects.In 1961,with the help of Johnson’s work,Alan Shepherd became the first American to go into space.Johnson also lent her unbelievable talent to the success of the Apollo 13,which had trouble getting back to Earth.She worked hard to calculate a safe path back to Earth for the astronauts.
Johnson retired in 1986,but her huge contribution to the space program has only been reaching the public attention for the past few years.Part of that is because,as she is the first to admit,science is based on collaboration.“I never took any credit because we always worked as a team,it was never just one person,” she said in a 2010 interview.
Earlier this year,NASA named a new data center after her.She was also given a Silver Snoopy award,which recognises “outstanding performance,contributing to flight safety and mission success.”
24.The author explains Johnson’s help to NASA by .
A.giving reasons B.showing numbers
C.providing examples D.comparing differences
25.What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean
A.Experience. B.Teamwork.
C.Research. D.Talent.
26.What can we infer from the passage about Johnson
A.She travelled to space with the Apollo 13.
B.She lived a rich life when she was young.
C.She has been widely-known since her retirement.
D.She used to be the only lady in the research team.
27.What is the passage mainly about
A.Johnson’s great contribution to NASA.
B.Respectable awards honored to Johnson.
C.The importance of education for Johnson.
D.NASA’s achievements in exploring space.
C
Life can bring us down from time to time.At some point,you may find yourself in what you will consider as your darkest hour.As you try to find your way out of that bad situation,you should try to remind yourself that there is still a reason to be grateful.
If you look at your situation now and compare it with someone who is in much deeper trouble than you,I am sure that you’ll find something to be thankful for.We all have our share of problems.But complaining about them so much only makes us blind about the fact that there are the miracles that happen around us every day.
When all your needs are provided,then you should be content and happy.If you have a roof over your head,some decent (得体的) clothes to wear,enough food on the table,a comfortable place to sleep,clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices then you should be happy and grateful.Many people all around the world,especially those who are at war or those in very poor countries would give anything to be in your conditions.
Even if you lose all your money or possessions and your heart is broken for some reason,as long as you are still alive,then everything material you have lost can be regained again.If you have a few good friends who will be there to support or help you,then be glad because true friends are hard to find.As long as you have someone to love and someone to love you back,then you are a very fortunate person.Remember to be patient and trust that things will get better.
28.What’s the author’s advice for those people faced with difficulties
A.They should believe in miracles to happen.
B.They should take a grateful attitude to life.
C.They should have confidence in themselves.
D.They should remind themselves to keep calm.
29.According to the author,complaints about our sufferings only result in .
A.being teased by others
B.taking everything for granted
C.having doubts about self-value
D.ignoring the good things in life
30.What can we infer from paragraph 3
A.People should try to make a difference.
B.People should be satisfied with what they have.
C.People should work hard to gain what they want.
D.People should practice kindness to those in need.
31.What does the author intend to tell us
A.It’s not so easy to make a living.
B.It’s important to have faith in life.
C.Show appreciation of what we have.
D.Never compare ourselves with others.

I enjoyed English,biology,and chemistry at school,but which one should I choose to study at university I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at the computer to do some research on great women of China.
By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi,a specialist in women’s diseases.She lived from 1901 to 1983.It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career,travelling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles.One of them caught my eye.It was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies.She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean,healthy and free from sickness.Why did she write that Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice I looked carefully at the text and realised that it was intended for women in the countryside.Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor.
Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time.That was a generation when girls’ education was always placed second to boys’.Was she so much cleverer than anyone else Further reading made me realise that it was hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school.What made her succeed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients.There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi,tired after a day’s work,went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.
By now I could not wait to find out more about her.I discovered that Lin Qiaozhi had devoted her whole life to her patients and had chosen not to have a family of her own.Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered.By this time I was very excited.Why not study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work It was still not too late for me to improve my studies,prepare for the university entrance examinations,and...
32.The writer was a when she wrote this article.
A.nurse
B.college student
C.high school student
D.student on computer
33.The underlined sentence in paragraph 3 is intended to show .
A.that Lin Qiaozhi often worked late into the night
B.that Lin Qiaozhi was a specialist in delivering babies
C.that Lin Qiaozhi often treated her patients without pay
D.that Lin Qiaozhi’s kindness and consideration to her patients
34.From the passage,we see that .
A.it was Lin Qiaozhi’s success that made her famous
B.the writer is determined to follow Lin Qiaozhi’s career
C.Lin Qiaozhi wasn’t able to go to school when she was a child
D.the writer regrets not having chosen to study at medical college
35.The writer mainly wants to in this passage.
A.share with us the information about Lin Qiaozhi
B.show her determination to go to medical university
C.show it is convenient to find out information on the Internet
D.show the difficulty in choosing what kind of university to go to

When it comes to the question how to encourage students to achieve success,teachers may offer different answers based on their own teaching experience.Here are some suggestions.
Post your expectations around the room.
If a student does not understand what teachers expect from him,he will have a much greater chance of failure.From the first day of class your expectations should be clear.Many teachers post their class rules for all to see. 36 You can select posters with encouraging words that explain your expectations.
37
Make sure that you do not show any bias (偏见) towards students’ learning.If you believe that the students in your class can’t learn a subject well,they probably won’t. 38 Be careful about the words you use and make sure that you don’t make students feel that you doubt their abilities.You must believe strongly and sincerely that your students can and will learn what you are teaching them.
Allow students the space to learn on their own.
39 While you can provide guidance,as the year goes on,you should pull back and give them more responsibility for their own learning.You should avoid jumping right in and helping students by simply providing them with the answers to their questions. 40
A.Pay special attention to slower students.
B.Have a right attitude to students’ abilities.
C.It is also a great idea to put up your expectations.
D.A healthy teacher-parent relationship is necessary.
E.The way a teacher treats students is very important.
F.Students need to learn to become self-directed learners.
G.Instead,lead students to find the answers by themselves.

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 summer when I was ten years old,my brother and I received a wonderful gift—tennis rackets (球拍) and balls.We had never had the opportunity to play tennis,so this was exciting.However,there was one problem—the small town we lived in did not have a tennis court (网球场).
One Saturday morning my brother said,“Hey,I’ve got an idea.Let’s take our tennis rackets and balls to the school and hit the balls against the school building.”
“Great idea!Let’s go,” I agreed,not realizing what a lesson we would learn.
When we got to the school ground,no one was around,so we began hitting our balls against the side of the building.“I’ll hit it the first time,” my brother suggested,“then you hit it the next time.We’ll hit it back and forth to each other.” So we began taking turns hitting the ball,getting more confident with each hit.Actually,we became pretty good at returning the ball and we were hitting the ball higher and faster each time.Suddenly,the unexpected thing happened—the ball got out of control and went crashing through one of the upstairs windows,leaving lots of broken glass on the ground.We looked around and no one was in sight except there was a guard sitting there over a distance.
Quietly,I asked,“Now what should I do ”
“Well,” my brother answered,“no one saw us,except that old man down there.And he probably can’t see this far.”
“He probably doesn’t know who we are anyway... Let’s go home,” I added.
As we picked up the rest of our balls and went home,we discussed whether to tell Mom and Dad what had happened.Would we be punished for our mistakes Would every penny we had saved go to pay for the window Or just keep it a secret We thought about all these things all the way.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
But that decision was made the moment we walked into the house.
On Monday,my brother and I went to school.

Dear Jim,
It’s great to hear from you.I feel proud knowing your interest in Chinese history.
As for my favourite figure in Chinese history,it must be Wei Yuan,a great thinker in the late Qing Dynasty.He,in his book,Maps and Records of the World,introduced modern technologies and ideas to China.That opened our eyes to the world.In fact,he inspires me to major in English in college.
Interested in knowing more I can find you some books!Just let me know.
Cheers!
Yours,
Li Hua

But that decision was made the moment we walked into the house.As we were about to tell Mom what had happened,she asked first.Gathering the courage,we told her.“Oh,my goodness!” my mother said.After a short while,Dad came up and said,“Well,the first thing on Monday,you two have to talk to the headmaster and admit your mistake.You will probably have to pay for the window,but that is what you two should do.”
On Monday,my brother and I went to school.With our hearts beating wildly,we went to the headmaster and told the whole story.Smiling,he told us that he had known it from the school guard,and he was glad we were there.He said the school would repair the window,so we needn’t worry.“I am proud of you,” he continued.We felt proud too and learned it was good to be honest.
