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)

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 US Supreme Court.O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks(1913-2005)

I always feel sorry for world leaders busy dealing with fights between nations.When my three children were young,most days it was hard to keep my house from becoming a battlefield.
It got worse as they grew older.Three years ago,Zack,then 16,couldn’t make it through a day without making his sisters,Alex 11 and Taryn 9,angry.
My husband and I tried to be understanding the boy at such an age.We reasoned,punished,and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how he was hurting our family.His answer was “I say it because it’s true.”
I even tried telling the girls to fight back.Bad idea.Now I had three children at war.Whatever I said to them,they paid no attention.When there was no way out,I told everything to my sister,Mary,in an email.She replied,“Don’t email me.Email him.”
Our son was online every day,mailing and talking with his friends.Maybe he would actually hear me this way.I didn’t say anything different,but email just took the tension away.There’d be no shouting or door banging.Zack wouldn’t feel under attack.
Zack didn’t reply for days.When he finally did,his entire message was four small words.I smiled when I read them:“You’re right.I’m sorry.”
The children still fought,of course,but Zack changed.Best of all,I now have a better way to talk with not one but three of them.I like it that they don’t tune me out as much as they used to.They like not having to listen to me shouting to them.Or as Alex says,“You’re so much nicer online.”
All I know is that the house is quiet.But we’re talking.
4.What was the trouble before the online talk in the family

6.The underlined phrase “tune me out” in the passage probably means “ ”.
A.pay no attention to me
B.get angry with me
C.quarrel with me
D.keep me out of their rooms
7.Why does the writer feel sorry for world leaders busy dealing with fights between nations
A.Because she doesn’t think the leaders are successful.
B.Because she doesn’t think fights can be stopped.
C.Because she has nothing to do with the leaders.
D.Because she can understand that the leaders’ job is hard.
C
When Albert Einstein was young,he was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone.He was slow to talk and had difficulty in learning to read.
When Albert was five years old,his father gave him a compass.Albert was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction—the north.He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move.Their answers were difficult for Albert to understand.Yet he spent a lot of time thinking about them.He said later that he felt something must be hidden behind things.
Albert didn’t like school.The German schools of that time were not pleasant.Students couldn’t ask questions.Albert said he felt as if he were in prison.
One day Albert told his uncle Jacob how much he hated school,especially mathematics.His uncle told him to solve mathematical problems by pretending to be a policeman.“You are looking for someone,” he said,“but you don’t know who he is.Call him ×.Find him by using your mathematical tools.”
Albert learnt to love mathematics.He was studying the complex mathematics of calculus(微积分) while all his friends were still studying simple mathematics.Instead of playing with his friends he thought about things such as “What would happen if people could travel at the speed of light ”
Albert wanted to teach mathematics and physics.He graduated with honours,but it was a pity that he could not get a teaching job.

If your job requires a lot of sitting,you could be putting your health at danger.
The American Journal of Epidemiology(流行病学) did a study in 2010 on the correlation(关联) between sitting and an individual’s physical health.In the study,53,440 working men and 69,776 working women were surveyed on their time spent sitting.The subjects were all disease free when employed.The researchers identified 11,307 deaths in men and 7,923 deaths in women during the 14-year follow-up.
The findings:Women who reported sitting for more than six hours per day had an approximately 40 higher all-cause death rate than those who reported less than three hours a day,and men had an approximately 20 higher death rate.
Well,now’s a fine time to get this information.But why didn’t they tell me this years ago I would have planned on taking a more active job instead of the sedentary(需要久坐的) job of an editor.
So what can you do if you have to work for a living at a job that requires a lot of sitting Here are some ideas:
First,take frequent breaks.It is recommended that workers vary activities,change their position,and take short breaks every 20 minutes to rest muscles and increase blood circulation.Second,get a standing desk.Some studies have shown that working from an upright position may be better for health.The serious fitness people can even purchase a treadmill(跑步机) desk.It only goes about one mile per hour.Third,have a walking meeting.If your group is kind of small,going for a walk while discussing topics is a good alternative.
12.According to the text,the study in 2010 .
A.found men reporting shorter sitting time than women
B.surveyed more men than women on their daily sitting time
C.identified fewer deaths in men than in women during the 14-year follow-up
D.discovered correlation between sitting and physical health in men and in women
13.We can infer from the text that the author did not recommend .
A.using a standing desk
B.resting one’s muscles
C.quitting sedentary jobs
D.taking a walk while discussing
14.What does the underlined word “subjects” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Things being discussed.
B.People being studied.
C.Areas of knowledge being learned.
D.Objects being painted.
15.What is the main idea of the text
A.Your long-sitting job could be killing you.
B.Working out leads to health risks.
C.Long-time sitting is positively associated with health.
D.A study on sitting time and physical health was completed.

9-year-old Igor lived in a huge forest in the north of Russia.His father was a woodcutter and his mother was a tailor.The boy liked playing with animals in the forest,and knew the names of different birds and their songs.One freezing winter,Igor was seriously ill and the doctor who was from big cities told his parents that only surprise could save him.Lying all day in bed,Igor only wanted his father to catch a bird and played with it.But in winter there were no birds in the forest.“You could make him a bird out of wood,”suggested the anxious mother.
The first finished bird was fat and too heavy to fly.He threw it into the fire but the head was in hands.
It was snowing heavily,and he really didn’t know where to find a bird.Then an idea occurred to him,“The bird needs two pieces of wood.”Eventually,he made it and showed it to his wife.“Beautiful!”she said,taking a needle and thread(线) and sewing the two ends together,like a real bird.She tied a long thread to the bird’s back.And it could be hung above Igor’s bed.Quietly,the woodcutter hung the bird above the boy’s bed.
At daybreak,his son was watching the bird carefully.There was a light in his eyes for the first time in many weeks.“Beautiful!”said Igor.“I’ve never seen it before in the forest.What’s its name ”“That’s a good question.I’ll find out and tell you.”The next morning,when the father entered Igor’s room,he found the boy sitting up in bed,trying to touch the bird.The last time Igor sat up in bed was many weeks ago.“What’s it called ” the boy asked.“Oh,dear,I’m still not sure.”
Late on that night,Igor’s father went into his son’s room quietly and made the thread a little shorter.Then the bird was hanging a little higher above Igor’s head.Three days later,he found Igor kneeling on the bed,trying to touch the bird.His hand was very near it.“Have you decided on the name ”“Not yet.My son.”his father replied.
Again,at night the father went into his son’s room.
Several days later,Igor’s father was cutting wood when he heard a scream from the house.

9-year-old Igor lived in a huge forest in the north of Russia.His father was a woodcutter and his mother was a tailor.The boy liked playing with animals in the forest,and knew the names of different birds and their songs.One freezing winter,Igor was seriously ill and the doctor who was from big cities told his parents that only surprise could save him.Lying all day in bed,Igor only wanted his father to catch a bird and played with it.But in winter there were no birds in the forest.“You could make him a bird out of wood,”suggested the anxious mother.
The first finished bird was fat and too heavy to fly.He threw it into the fire but the head was in hands.
It was snowing heavily,and he really didn’t know where to find a bird.Then an idea occurred to him,“The bird needs two pieces of wood.”Eventually,he made it and showed it to his wife.“Beautiful!”she said,taking a needle and thread(线) and sewing the two ends together,like a real bird.She tied a long thread to the bird’s back.And it could be hung above Igor’s bed.Quietly,the woodcutter hung the bird above the boy’s bed.
At daybreak,his son was watching the bird carefully.There was a light in his eyes for the first time in many weeks.“Beautiful!”said Igor.“I’ve never seen it before in the forest.What’s its name ”“That’s a good question.I’ll find out and tell you.”The next morning,when the father entered Igor’s room,he found the boy sitting up in bed,trying to touch the bird.The last time Igor sat up in bed was many weeks ago.“What’s it called ” the boy asked.“Oh,dear,I’m still not sure.”
Late on that night,Igor’s father went into his son’s room quietly and made the thread a little shorter.Then the bird was hanging a little higher above Igor’s head.Three days later,he found Igor kneeling on the bed,trying to touch the bird.His hand was very near it.“Have you decided on the name ”“Not yet.My son.”his father replied.
Again,at night the father went into his son’s room.
Several days later,Igor’s father was cutting wood when he heard a scream from the house.
参考范文
Again,at night the father went into his son’s room.Seeing Igor was asleep,he put the bird a little higher and left.To his joy,Igor was able to stand on the bed and nearly touch the bird the second day.He wanted to make it go round in person.The woodcutter encouraged his son to go on trying and told him it was not as high as he thought.However,Igor still wanted to know the name of the bird.The father said he was trying to figure out the kind of the bird.
Several days later,Igor’s father was cutting wood when he heard a scream from the house.He ran quickly to his son’s bedroom.He couldn’t believe what he saw.Igor was jumping up and down excitedly on his bed.It was above his head that the bird was going round very fast.He showed off his performance to his father.“Please tell me,what’s its name ”“It’s called the bird of surprise,”his father replied excitedly.And his mother,standing at the door,cried tears of joy to see her young son full of life once again.

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)

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 US Supreme Court.O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks(1913-2005)

I always feel sorry for world leaders busy dealing with fights between nations.When my three children were young,most days it was hard to keep my house from becoming a battlefield.
It got worse as they grew older.Three years ago,Zack,then 16,couldn’t make it through a day without making his sisters,Alex 11 and Taryn 9,angry.
My husband and I tried to be understanding the boy at such an age.We reasoned,punished,and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how he was hurting our family.His answer was “I say it because it’s true.”
I even tried telling the girls to fight back.Bad idea.Now I had three children at war.Whatever I said to them,they paid no attention.When there was no way out,I told everything to my sister,Mary,in an email.She replied,“Don’t email me.Email him.”
Our son was online every day,mailing and talking with his friends.Maybe he would actually hear me this way.I didn’t say anything different,but email just took the tension away.There’d be no shouting or door banging.Zack wouldn’t feel under attack.
Zack didn’t reply for days.When he finally did,his entire message was four small words.I smiled when I read them:“You’re right.I’m sorry.”
The children still fought,of course,but Zack changed.Best of all,I now have a better way to talk with not one but three of them.I like it that they don’t tune me out as much as they used to.They like not having to listen to me shouting to them.Or as Alex says,“You’re so much nicer online.”

When Albert Einstein was young,he was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone.He was slow to talk and had difficulty in learning to read.
When Albert was five years old,his father gave him a compass.Albert was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction—the north.He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move.Their answers were difficult for Albert to understand.Yet he spent a lot of time thinking about them.He said later that he felt something must be hidden behind things.

One day Albert told his uncle Jacob how much he hated school,especially mathematics.His uncle told him to solve mathematical problems by pretending to be a policeman.“You are looking for someone,” he said,“but you don’t know who he is.Call him ×.Find him by using your mathematical tools.”
Albert learnt to love mathematics.He was studying the complex mathematics of calculus(微积分) while all his friends were still studying simple mathematics.Instead of playing with his friends he thought about things such as “What would happen if people could travel at the speed of light ”

If your job requires a lot of sitting,you could be putting your health at danger.
The American Journal of Epidemiology(流行病学) did a study in 2010 on the correlation(关联) between sitting and an individual’s physical health.In the study,53,440 working men and 69,776 working women were surveyed on their time spent sitting.The subjects were all disease free when employed.The researchers identified 11,307 deaths in men and 7,923 deaths in women during the 14-year follow-up.
The findings:Women who reported sitting for more than six hours per day had an approximately 40 higher all-cause death rate than those who reported less than three hours a day,and men had an approximately 20 higher death rate.
Well,now’s a fine time to get this information.But why didn’t they tell me this years ago I would have planned on taking a more active job instead of the sedentary(需要久坐的) job of an editor.
So what can you do if you have to work for a living at a job that requires a lot of sitting Here are some ideas:
First,take frequent breaks.It is recommended that workers vary activities,change their position,and take short breaks every 20 minutes to rest muscles and increase blood circulation.Second,get a standing desk.Some studies have shown that working from an upright position may be better for health.The serious fitness people can even purchase a treadmill(跑步机) desk.It only goes about one mile per hour.Third,have a walking meeting.If your group is kind of small,going for a walk while discussing topics is a good alternative.
12.According to the text,the study in 2010 .
A.found men reporting shorter sitting time than women
B.surveyed more men than women on their daily sitting time
C.identified fewer deaths in men than in women during the 14-year follow-up
D.discovered correlation between sitting and physical health in men and in women
13.We can infer from the text that the author did not recommend .
A.using a standing desk
B.resting one’s muscles
C.quitting sedentary jobs
D.taking a walk while discussing
14.What does the underlined word “subjects” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Things being discussed.
B.People being studied.
C.Areas of knowledge being learned.
D.Objects being painted.
15.What is the main idea of the text
A.Your long-sitting job could be killing you.
B.Working out leads to health risks.
C.Long-time sitting is positively associated with health.
D.A study on sitting time and physical health was completed.

Again,at night the father went into his son’s room.
Several days later,Igor’s father was cutting wood when he heard a scream from the house.

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.

I always feel sorry for world leaders busy dealing with fights between nations.When my three children were young,most days it was hard to keep my house from becoming a battlefield.
It got worse as they grew older.Three years ago,Zack,then 16,couldn’t make it through a day without making his sisters,Alex 11 and Taryn 9,angry.
My husband and I tried to be understanding the boy at such an age.We reasoned,punished,and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how he was hurting our family.His answer was “I say it because it’s true.”
I even tried telling the girls to fight back.Bad idea.Now I had three children at war.Whatever I said to them,they paid no attention.When there was no way out,I told everything to my sister,Mary,in an email.She replied,“Don’t email me.Email him.”
Our son was online every day,mailing and talking with his friends.Maybe he would actually hear me this way.I didn’t say anything different,but email just took the tension away.There’d be no shouting or door banging.Zack wouldn’t feel under attack.
Zack didn’t reply for days.When he finally did,his entire message was four small words.I smiled when I read them:“You’re right.I’m sorry.”
The children still fought,of course,but Zack changed.Best of all,I now have a better way to talk with not one but three of them.I like it that they don’t tune me out as much as they used to.They like not having to listen to me shouting to them.Or as Alex says,“You’re so much nicer online.”

When Albert Einstein was young,he was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone.He was slow to talk and had difficulty in learning to read.
When Albert was five years old,his father gave him a compass.Albert was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction—the north.He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move.Their answers were difficult for Albert to understand.Yet he spent a lot of time thinking about them.He said later that he felt something must be hidden behind things.
Albert didn’t like school.The German schools of that time were not pleasant.Students couldn’t ask questions.Albert said he felt as if he were in prison.
One day Albert told his uncle Jacob how much he hated school,especially mathematics.His uncle told him to solve mathematical problems by pretending to be a policeman.“You are looking for someone,” he said,“but you don’t know who he is.Call him ×.Find him by using your mathematical tools.”
Albert learnt to love mathematics.He was studying the complex mathematics of calculus(微积分) while all his friends were still studying simple mathematics.Instead of playing with his friends he thought about things such as “What would happen if people could travel at the speed of light ”

If your job requires a lot of sitting,you could be putting your health at danger.
The American Journal of Epidemiology(流行病学) did a study in 2010 on the correlation(关联) between sitting and an individual’s physical health.In the study,53,440 working men and 69,776 working women were surveyed on their time spent sitting.The subjects were all disease free when employed.The researchers identified 11,307 deaths in men and 7,923 deaths in women during the 14-year follow-up.
The findings:Women who reported sitting for more than six hours per day had an approximately 40 higher all-cause death rate than those who reported less than three hours a day,and men had an approximately 20 higher death rate.
Well,now’s a fine time to get this information.But why didn’t they tell me this years ago I would have planned on taking a more active job instead of the sedentary(需要久坐的) job of an editor.
So what can you do if you have to work for a living at a job that requires a lot of sitting Here are some ideas:
First,take frequent breaks.It is recommended that workers vary activities,change their position,and take short breaks every 20 minutes to rest muscles and increase blood circulation.Second,get a standing desk.Some studies have shown that working from an upright position may be better for health.The serious fitness people can even purchase a treadmill(跑步机) desk.It only goes about one mile per hour.Third,have a walking meeting.If your group is kind of small,going for a walk while discussing topics is a good alternative.
12.According to the text,the study in 2010 .
A.found men reporting shorter sitting time than women
B.surveyed more men than women on their daily sitting time
C.identified fewer deaths in men than in women during the 14-year follow-up

C.quitting sedentary jobs
D.taking a walk while discussing
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,作者建议那些长时间坐着工作的人使用立式办公桌,放松肌肉或者边走边讨论,并没有提到放弃久坐不动的工作。故选C项。
14.What does the underlined word “subjects” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Things being discussed.
B.People being studied.
C.Areas of knowledge being learned.
D.Objects being painted.
答案B
解析词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“In the study,53,440 working men and 69,776 working women were surveyed on their time spent sitting.”可知,该研究对53,440个男员工和69,776个女员工坐着的时间进行了调查,发现这些人在受雇时均无疾病。由此可知画线词词义为“被调查的人”。故选B项。

9-year-old Igor lived in a huge forest in the north of Russia.His father was a woodcutter and his mother was a tailor.The boy liked playing with animals in the forest,and knew the names of different birds and their songs.One freezing winter,Igor was seriously ill and the doctor who was from big cities told his parents that only surprise could save him.Lying all day in bed,Igor only wanted his father to catch a bird and played with it.But in winter there were no birds in the forest.“You could make him a bird out of wood,”suggested the anxious mother.
The first finished bird was fat and too heavy to fly.He threw it into the fire but the head was in hands.
It was snowing heavily,and he really didn’t know where to find a bird.Then an idea occurred to him,“The bird needs two pieces of wood.”Eventually,he made it and showed it to his wife.“Beautiful!”she said,taking a needle and thread(线) and sewing the two ends together,like a real bird.She tied a long thread to the bird’s back.And it could be hung above Igor’s bed.Quietly,the woodcutter hung the bird above the boy’s bed.
At daybreak,his son was watching the bird carefully.There was a light in his eyes for the first time in many weeks.“Beautiful!”said Igor.“I’ve never seen it before in the forest.What’s its name ”“That’s a good question.I’ll find out and tell you.”The next morning,when the father entered Igor’s room,he found the boy sitting up in bed,trying to touch the bird.The last time Igor sat up in bed was many weeks ago.“What’s it called ” the boy asked.“Oh,dear,I’m still not sure.”
Late on that night,Igor’s father went into his son’s room quietly and made the thread a little shorter.Then the bird was hanging a little higher above Igor’s head.Three days later,he found Igor kneeling on the bed,trying to touch the bird.His hand was very near it.“Have you decided on the name ”“Not yet.My son.”his father replied.
Again,at night the father went into his son’s room.
Several days later,Igor’s father was cutting wood when he heard a scream from the house.
参考范文
Again,at night the father went into his son’s room.Seeing Igor was asleep,he put the bird a little higher and left.To his joy,Igor was able to stand on the bed and nearly touch the bird the second day.He wanted to make it go round in person.The woodcutter encouraged his son to go on trying and told him it was not as high as he thought.However,Igor still wanted to know the name of the bird.The father said he was trying to figure out the kind of the bird.
Several days later,Igor’s father was cutting wood when he heard a scream from the house.He ran quickly to his son’s bedroom.He couldn’t believe what he saw.Igor was jumping up and down excitedly on his bed.It was above his head that the bird was going round very fast.He showed off his performance to his father.“Please tell me,what’s its name ”“It’s called the bird of surprise,”his father replied excitedly.And his mother,standing at the door,cried tears of joy to see her young son full of life once again.
