Elizabeth Blackwell was born on February 3,1821 in Bristol，England.Her father was a rich sugar businessman at that time.Because her parents thought boys and girls should be equal，Elizabeth received the same education as her brothers.
In 1832，her father’s business was destroyed by fire，so her family moved to New York City.But her father’s business there failed.Then in 1837，the family moved to Cincinnati，Ohio.Not long after，her father died.After her father’s death，Elizabeth，at the age of 16，had to go to work.
When she was 24，she visited her dying friend Mary.Her friend said，“You’re young and strong，you should become a doctor.”That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century.But she knew this was what she was going to do.
After several rejections from medical schools，she finally was accepted by Geneva Medical College.By studying hard，she graduated successfully in 1849.
After graduating from medical school，she went to Paris to learn more about medicine.She wanted to be a surgeon，but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.
When she returned to America in 1851，she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman.In 1857，Elizabeth and her sister，also a doctor，along with another woman doctor，managed to open a new hospital，the first for women and children.Besides，she also set up the first medical school for women in 1868，where she taught the women students about disease prevention.It was the first time that the idea of preventing disease was taught in a medical school.
Elizabeth Blackwell started the British National Health Society in 1871，which helped people learn how to stay healthy.In 1889，Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman doctor in the United States.Most importantly she fought for the admission of women to medical colleges.
Elizabeth Blackwell died on May 3,1910，when she was 89.She opened a world of chances for women.She always fought for what was right in all her life.In 1949 the Blackwell medal was established.It’s given to women who have excellent achievements in the field of medicine.She’ll always be remembered as a great woman.
1． According to the passage，Elizabeth Blackwell ________.
A．received bad education in her childhood
B．spent a happy and lucky childhood
C．moved to America with her family at eleven
D．decided to be a doctor due to her father’s death
2． Elizabeth Blackwell could not become a surgeon because ________.
A．she was a woman
B．she had a serious eye problem
C．she went to Paris for further education
D．she didn’t go to medical school
3． Elizabeth Blackwell opened her first hospital for woman and children ________.
A．eighteen years after her father died
B．seven years after returning to America from Paris
C．ten years before setting up her first medical school
D．eight years after graduating from medical school

Nobel，who was born in Stockholm，is a great scientist famous for his dangerous experiments.
Nobel studied in the USA and then Russia between 1850 and 1859.After his return，he started researching into bombs.As is known，bomb is dangerous to life，but Nobel was working under that condition.Once a big explosion in his lab completely destroyed the lab and caused some deaths.After that he had to experiment on a boat in a lake.He received criticism and satire(讽刺)，but he proceeded with the work rather than losing heart.From 1860s to 1880s，Nobel made many achievements and his inventions were first used in building roads and digging tunnels.Most of the bombs were safer and more possible to be controlled.Even at the end of the 20th century，we still used his methods.
Nobel had many patents in Britain and other European countries.He was quick to see industrial openings(机会) for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries.Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forward-looking industrialist.
But Nobel’s main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries.Seldom happy，he was always searching for a meaning to life，and from his youth，he had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy.His greatest wish，however，was to see an end to wars，and thus peace between nations，and he spent much time and money working for this cause.To follow his will，a fund was set up to encourage people to make great progress in physics，chemistry，physiology(生理学)，medicine，literature and peace.That’s the Nobel Prize which means great honor to a scientist.
1． Through his early experimental work，it is evident that ________.
A．Nobel was a man of strong will
B．Nobel was a man of gift
C．Nobel seldom got on well with his work
D．Nobel had his heart in his work
2． Nobel also had much financial sense because ________.
A．he had a very strong desire for money
B．he cared about nothing but making profits
C．he managed money matter well，making the best use of chances for making profits
D．he invented bombs in order to make money
3． Based on the passage，Nobel，as a scientist，________.
A．took a single interest in science
B．took a serious interest in money
C．took no interest in literature
D．took a serious interest in literature as well as in science
4． Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．His wonderful will surely provided other scientists with a large sum of money.
B．In leaving behind a well-meant will，Nobel succeeded in setting up a permanent monument for his interests and ideals.
C．Nobel made a glorious will so that he might be remembered and respected after his death.
D．Nobel expressed his wish in his will that a monument should be put up in memory of him.

You must practice your language skills，or there is no point learning.__1__ It is by constantly repeating words and phrases until they all start to make sense.The same is needed by people who are trying to learn a foreign language.There are many different things to do for each of the four parts of language learning.
__2__ If you are learning French，then next time you go to France，buy a lot of newspapers and books.Read them—it is as simple as that.If you read with a dictionary next to you，you should be able to look up words when you don’t know them and at least follow what is being said.
Practicing writing does not have to be too tricky.__3__ You could write to tourist information offices asking for brochures about their town，or to hotels asking for details of prices.With the Internet，practicing writing does not have to be difficult as you can write a quick e-mail and send it straight off.If a reply comes back to you containing the information you requested，you will feel happy as your practice is paying off.
Practicing speaking skills is perhaps the most interesting experience because you get the chance to interact with others.Of course，the best way to practice is to visit the country where the language is spoken.__4__ If this route is also closed，do not panic.You can speak to yourself and make tapes of it.
The practice of listening skills tends to go hand in hand with speaking.If you are able to do any of the above，such as going on holiday or chatting with a native speaker，then the listening practice will follow naturally.__5__ You can also listen to rented DVDs in the language with and without subtitles to help you along.
A．Traveling is a good way of enjoying the culture.
B．Practicing reading does not have to be difficult.
C．Think of how a child picks up its mother tongue.
D．But if not，you can buy or borrow tapes of people speaking.
E．A good test to see if your writing is making sense is to ask for replies.
F．You can persuade your partner or best friend to learn the language with you.
G．If this is not possible，then speak to a friend or your teacher if they have time.

第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Albert Einstein (1879～1955) was one of the greatest and most original scientific thinkers of all time.
Born of Jewish parents in Germany，he completed his education in Switzerland and got his PhD at the University of Zurich.He went to live in the United States in 1933 because of the rise of Nazism (纳粹) in Germany and Hitler’s persecution (迫害) of the Jews.
In 1905，while still at Zurich，he published his Special Theory of Relativity，which was based on things everyone may have noticed.If two trains are standing alongside each other and one train starts to move，a person sitting in the train may wonder whether his own train is moving or the other is moving，and before he finds out what is happening，he can see that one train is moving relatively to the other.From this and also from other more complicated facts，Einstein came to the conclusion that all motion is relative and that there are really no such things as absolute (绝对) motion.Some of the other conclusions he drew are that nothing can go faster than light，and that if something such as a ruler was moving faster and faster it would seem to get shorter and shorter as its speed was near the speed of light.By 1915，Einstein had made known his General Theory of Relativity.He also improved on Newton’s theory of gravity.Most of his theories have been tested and found to be true though some may sound strange.For his important work he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics.
56．In 1933，Einstein went to live in the United States because ________.
A．he loved the USA more than his own country
B．he had got some friends there with whom he could work together
C．he wanted to live quietly in the USA
D．he could no longer work in Germany when Hitler came into power
57．Einstein published his Special Theory of Relativity when he was ________.
A．in the United States
B．in Ulm，Germany after he got his PhD
C．still in Switzerland at the age of twenty-six
D．still at the University of Zurich at the age of thirty-six
58．One of the conclusions drawn by Einstein is that ________.
A．planes go faster than trains and buses
B．people couldn’t run as fast as vehicles
C．light goes the fastest of all the things
D．two trains can go in different directions
59. Einstein was world-famous for his ________.
A．Special Theory of Relativity
B．General Theory of Relativity
C．improving on Newton’s theory of gravity
D．all of the above
B
A list of Benjamin Franklin’s inventions reveals a man of many talents and interests.His natural curiosity about things and the way they work made him try to find ways to make them work better.
Ben had poor vision and needed glasses to read.He got tired of constantly taking them off and putting them back on，so he decided to figure out how his glasses would let him see both near and far.He had two pairs of glasses cut in half and put half of each lens (镜片) in a single frame.Today，we call them bifocals (双光眼镜)．
Everyone knows the story of Ben’s famous kite flight.Although he made important discoveries and advancements，Ben did not “invent” the electricity.He did，however，invent the lightning rod which protects buildings and ships from lightning.
In colonial America，most people warmed their homes by building a fire in a fireplace even though it was dangerous and used a lot of wood.Ben figured that there had to be a better way.His invention of an iron furnace stove allowed people to warm their homes less dangerously and with less wood.The furnace stove that he invented is called the Franklin Stove.Interestingly enough，Ben also established the first fire company and the first fire insurance company in order to help people live more safely.
As a postmaster，Ben had to figure out routes for delivering the mail.He went out riding in his carriage to measure the routes and needed a way to keep track of the distance.He invented a simple odometer (里程表) and attached it to his carriage.
Later，other famous inventors，like Thomas Alva Edison and Alexander Graham Bell，followed in Ben’s footsteps by trying to find ways to help people live better.
60．How many things invented by Benjamin Franklin are mentioned in the passage?
A．3. B．4. C．5. D．6.
61．What do we know about the Franklin Stove?
A．It is made of iron and easy to carry.
B．It is much safer and can save wood.
C．It is much smaller than the traditional stove.
D．It reaches the requirements of the fire company.
62．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Franklin invented the bifocals because of his poor vision.
B．Franklin invented the odometer to make his riding easier.
C．Franklin first invented the electricity and then the lightning rod.
D．Franklin invented the odometer when he worked in a post office.
63．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．The Life of Benjamin Franklin
B．Benjamin Franklin，a Great Inventor
C．A Man of Many Talents and Interests
D．How to Help People Live Better
C
Hawking has a motor neurone (运动神经元) disease that is related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)，a condition that has progressed over the years.He can hardly move any parts of his body.His illness has progressed more slowly than typical cases of ALS：it’s uncommon for someone who suffers from ALS to survive more than 10 years.
Signs of the disorder first appeared as soon as he arrived at the University of Cambridge.He lost his balance and fell down a flight of stairs，hitting his head.Worried that he would lose his mental abilities，Hawking took a test to check whether his thinking abilities were affected.Doctors discovered that he had a motor neurone disease in 1963，shortly before his first marriage，and they said he would not survive more than two or three years.By 1974，he was unable to feed himself or get out of bed.His speech became unclear and he could be understood only by people who knew him well.In 1985，Hawking suffered from pneumonia (肺炎)，which in his condition was life-threatening.He had an emergency operation and lost his remaining ability to speak.
A speech generating system was built at the University of Cambridge，using software from an American company.The system enables Hawking to write onto a computer with small movements of his body，and then has a voice synthesizer (合成器) speak what he has typed.For lectures and media appearances，Hawking appears to speak fluently through his synthesizer.However，when preparing answers his system produces words at a rate of about one per minute.As he is only able to use his cheek to put in information，constructing complete sentences takes time.During a conference talk，it took him seven minutes to provide a brief answer to a question.
He describes himself as lucky，despite his disease.Its slow progression has allowed him time to make influential discoveries and has not prevented him from having a very attractive family.
64．After falling down stairs，Hawking took a test to find out ________.
A．whether his leg was seriously injured
B．whether he was as smart as before
C．what he should do to be healthy
D．what had caused his problems
65．What is the right time order of the following events in Hawking’s life?
a．He fell down a flight of stairs.
b．He suffered from pneumonia.
c．He couldn’t eat by himself.
d．He lost his speaking ability completely.
e．He got married for the first time.
A．a-c-d-b-e B．a-d-c-e-b C．a-e-c-b-d D．a-c-b-d-e
66．What can we know about the speech system Hawking uses?
A．It was built by an American company.
B．It enables him to speak fluently in his daily life.
C．It takes a long time for him to prepare an answer with it.
D．Hawking can construct a sentence with it easily.
67．What’s the passage mainly about?
A．Hawking’s career. B．Hawking’s education.
C．Hawking’s illness. D．Hawking’s family.
D
At the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey，kids can learn about science in a fun and exciting atmosphere.
Science educator Lisa Silverman showed a group of students how surgery is performed.As she guided the children through the operation，she also taught lessons about infections (感染)，the roles of the operating room staff and the kinds of schooling one needs to be a surgeon.
Education experts call this “informal” or “free-choice” science learning，since it takes place outside of the school setting.The National Academies will publish a report about the learning of science in such informal settings，including such places as museums，zoos and aquariums (水族馆)．
The report is meant to address the lack of scientific education among Americans.Many are afraid there will be a shortfall in homegrown engineers and scientists to keep the nation competitive，and a general workforce ill-equipped to fun_ction in an increasingly high-tech world.Experts believe science museums can play a big role in teaching and promoting science to both children and adults.
The Liberty Science Center expects about 850,000 guests this year.Visitors can walk along a high steel beam in the skyscraper exhibit or practice laboratory experiments.Kids and their parents are welcome to ask as many questions as they like.For many students，the experience is as important as any technical or book lesson，because the information can be related to their families，friends and，most of all，themselves.
“The value of science museums is that they allow families to learn together，and even about each other，”says Oregon State University researcher John Falk.“Parents may discover that a daughter is interested in engineering after a trip to a museum.”
Sue Allen，who studies museum learning at San Francisco’s Exploratorium，said，“In a fast-changing world where people need to keep learning all their lives，science museums provide a model for going outside of classroom education.”
68．The National Academies’ report will ________.
A．criticize learning science in informal settings
B．analyze the cost of museums，zoos and aquariums
C．discuss the shortage of scientific education in America
D．mention the contribution of homegrown engineers and scientists in detail
69．What do we know about the Liberty Science Center?
A．It is open to both children and adults.
B．It mainly teaches visitors engineering.
C．It attracts an average of about 850,000 visitors a year.
D．Visitors are not allowed to do experiments themselves.
70．The passage was written mainly to tell us ______.
A．science learning is of great importance
B．science learning is not that easy
C．museum learning plays an important role in scientific education
D．museum learning is becoming more and more popular

How to Do Well in Exams
Do not underestimate the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination.The closer you are to the exam，the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial information.But do not overdo it.71.________ An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period，so in the days leading up to your first exam，get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game.It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.
On the day of the exam，have a good breakfast，pack two of everything you need (pens，pencils，erasers，etc.)，then make your way to the examination hall in good time.72.________
Once in your seat，simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts.Close your eyes and take in a few slow，deep breathes to help you relax.When you turn over the test paper，spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions，paying particular attention to key verbs such as “discuss”，“compare” and “evaluate”.73.________ It is wise always to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers.Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle，begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest.It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on the paper.Also remember to write clearly，and do not be afraid to express the unexpected：after all，examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical answers.
74．________ If you do need something else to focus on to help collect your thoughts，choose a fixture in the room，such as the ceiling or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.
Finally，once you have finished，never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students.75.________
A．Do not arrive too early，though，as other people’s anxiety can be infectious，and you may suffer from unnecessary panic.
B．Try not to be tempted to look at those around you，or at the clock.
C．When you get home，read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didn’t understand.
D．Sleep，exercise and relaxation are all just as important.
E．Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.
F．Go and have a well-earned rest，then prepare for your next exam.
G．Underestimate the test in your mind.
