The most important life lesson I've learned from running is to run at my own pace. This lesson has guided me in many ways. In particular, it made me challenge the fixed expectations of retirement and aging.
Running is a metaphor (隐喻) for life. I realized this while training for a marathon to celebrate my 60th birthday. All the other runners being faster than me made me embarrassed, but my coach shared some valuable advice: run at your own best pace — setting a goal or target time could be a limitation. He was right. Over time I ran more easily and faster. I also enjoyed the experience much more.
I have applied this principle to other areas of my life. Finding a rhythm is not about efficiency or how many things I can get done in a day. It has more to do with what I decide to do at this stage in my life. Running carries its own set of expectations, including what people at certain life stage should be doing or not doing. Expectations at my age can center on how leisure time is spent, decisions about employment, and even the role of a grandparent.
I used to think it was young people who bore the impact of peer pressure, but older adults can experience it too. This is ironic, because often later in this life is a time when we tend to care less about the opinions of others.
I'm not suggesting we postpone dreams. Of course, we should do what matters to us, but it's easy to view retirement as another occupation with benchmarks (基准) to be met. It's a comparison trap that makes what someone else does the reference point.
Forget what others are doing. Their pace is not necessarily the pace you should run at. Run at your own way. Our bodies know what they need. Our hearts know what they need. In living life on our own terms, we will likely feel stronger in body, mind and spirit.
24．What motivated the author to participate in marathon
A．Her keen wish to celebrate her 60th birthday.
B．Her strong curiosity for fighting against aging.
C．Her eager interest in doing regular exercise.
D．Her urgent need to enhance her health and mind.
25．What do the underlined words "this principle" in paragraph 3 probably refer to
A．Setting a target time. B．Finding your limitation.
C．Enjoying your decisions. D．Running at your own pace.
26．What does the author think of peer pressure
A．Its impact is only limited to young generations.
B．Even senior citizens cannot avoid it completely.
C．Its existence is too ridiculous to explain.
D．It ends if we stop pursuing our dreams.
27．What might the author intend to convey through her experience
A．Look before you leap.
B．Birds of a feather flock together.
C．It's never old late to learn.
D．Don't follow the crowd.

On January 7, David Bennett went into the operating room at the University of Maryland Medical Center for a surgical procedure never performed before on a human. The 57-year-old Maryland resident had been hospitalized for months due to a life threatening disease. His heart was failing him and he needed a new one.
Bennett's condition left him unresponsive to treatment and ineligible (不合格) for the transplant list or an artificial heart pump. The physician-scientists at the center, however, had another-also-risky-option: transplant (移植) a heart from a genetically-modified pig.
"It was either die or do this transplant," Bennett had told surgeons a day before the operation. "I want to live. I know it's a shot in the dark, but it's also my last choice."
It took the medical team eight hours to finish the operation, making Bennett the first human to successfully receive a pig's heart. "It's working and it looks normal. We are thrilled, but we don't know what tomorrow will bring us. This has never been done before," Barkley Griffith, who led the transplant team, told the New York Times.
While it's only been five days since the operation, the surgeons say that Bennett's new pig heart has been, so far, functioning as expected and his body wasn't rejecting (排斥) the organ. They are still monitoring his condition closely.
"I think it's extremely exciting," says Robert Montgomery, transplant surgeon and director of the NYU Langone Transplant Institute, who was not involved in Bennett's operation. The result of the procedure was also personally meaningful for Montgomery, who received a heart transplant in 2018 due to a genetic disease that may also affect members of his family in the future. "It's still in the early days, but still the heart seems to be functioning. And that in and of itself is an extraordinary thing. Up to now most experimental heart transplant procedures have been done between pigs and other animals. This is the first time that surgeons have taken it into a living human."
28．What do the words "a shot in the dark" underlined in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Something that costs a fortune.
B．Something impossible to succeed.
C．Something drawing public attention.
D．Something with an uncertain outcome.
29．What is Barkley Griffith's attitude to Bennett's post-operation condition
A．Negative. B．Cautious. C．Optimistic. D．Uncaring.
30．What is the text mainly about
A．The heated debate over the pig heart transplant.
B．David Bennett's contribution to medical research.
C．The first experimental pig heart transplant in the world.
D．The first successful pig heart transplant into a living human.
31．In which section of a magazine may this text appear
A．Political Affairs. B．Global Entertainment.
C．Sci-Tech Front. D．Financial Window.

Women were less likely than men to support the Vietnam war, the Gulf war, or the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. They commit far fewer murders. They are less likely to favor strikes. For some scholars, these are grounds for thinking that a world run by women would be more peaceful.
But European history suggests otherwise, according to political scientists Oeindrila Dube and S. P. Harish. They studied how often European rulers went to war between 1480 and 1913, and found that states ruled by queens were 27% more likely to get involved in wars than those ruled by kings.
This was not all the queens' fault: men, seeing them as soft targets, tended to attack them. Frederick the Great of Prussia once declared: "No woman should ever be allowed to govern anything." Shortly after becoming king, he attacked the newly crowned Archduchess of Austria, Maria Theresa, and seized Silesia province. Despite years of war, she never recovered it.
But perceived weakness is not the whole story. Queens, the researchers found, were more likely to gain new territory. Catherine the Great expanded her empire by some 200,000 square miles. And married queens were more aggressive than single queens or kings, whether single or married.
The authors suggest several reasons for this. First, married queens may have been able to form more military alliances (联盟), making them confident enough to pick fights. Their husbands had often served in the army before they married, and were well placed to strengthen military ties between their homelands and their wives' states.
Second, unlike most kings, queens often gave their husbands a lot of power, putting them in charge of foreign policy or the economy. During the 1740s, Maria Theresa's husband, Francis I, reformed the Austrian economy and raised money for the armed forces while his wife ruled much of central Europe. Prince Albert was Queen Victoria's most trusted adviser, shaping her foreign policy until his death in1861. This division of labor, the authors suggest, freed up time for queens to pursue more aggressive policies.
The modern era, too, has witnessed female leaders in wars: Golda Meir and the Yom Kippur war, or Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands. The number of countries led by women has more than doubled since 2000, but there is plenty of room for improvement: the current level of 15 represents less than 10% of the total. A world in which more women took power might be more equal. Whether it would be more peaceful is a different question.
32．The underlined "perceived weakness" in paragraph 4 means that ____.
A．women were less likely to support wars
B．women could not recover lost territory
C．women commit far fewer crimes
D．women were soft targets
33．Why were married queens more likely to gain new territory
A．Because their military alliances picked fights for them.
B．Because they were ambitious and aggressive by nature.
C．Because their husbands were supportive in state governing.
D．Because they centralized all power into their own hands.
34．What is the purpose of mentioning the two female leaders in the last paragraph
A．To imply there is room for improvement in gender equality.
B．To indicate more females become leaders in modern times.
C．To illustrate female leaders cannot prevent wars in modern times.
D．To suggest female leaders have their share of wars in modern times.
35．According to the passage, we can safely conclude that ____.
A．married women are not fit to govern their states on their own
B．female leaders should be responsible for all wars throughout history
C．the world wouldn't be more peaceful even if more women took power
D．the division of labor allows queens to survive economic crisis
四、任务型阅读(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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many people wonder what they can do to become well-rounded and competitive while increasing their rate of success. 　36． 　
Be willing to expand your mind. Rid yourself of assumptions and convictions so that you can be open and receptive to new information. 　37． 　 You will eventually come across information that challenges your worldview. Rather than remaining resting in your comfort zone, use this time to stop, reflect and shed light on these ideas in a way that can develop and expand your vision.
After the mind has been ready, the next step is application. 　38． 　 Learning information you can use in your daily life is very important to having a continuous desire to further advance your education. Skill-based learning, for example, is useless if it isn't applied. Reading a book on automobile repair isn't the same as physically changing the oil or tire on your car. Reading about art isn't the same as picking up a brush. If your knowledge can be directly applied in a functional and fun fashion, put it into practice! Many people learn by being hands-on.
Surround yourself with like-minded individuals and try to always take something valuable away from your daily interactions. 　39． 　 If you come across anything that confuses you, ask them! Never be too prideful, for each question you don't ask is a missed opportunity!
　40． 　 Commit to expanding your mind, continuing your education and becoming a student of life. Use the world as your classroom, and always come away with a lesson. Remember to cultivate your mind so it is prepared to expand, blossom and grow. And share your fountain of knowledge.
A. Go ahead and challenge yourself today.
B. Create a to-learn list just as you would a to-do list.
C. There are so many things they can do to achieve their goal.
D. You can find a large number of outstanding people in your school.
E. This at times may even contradict what you have always believed to be true.
F. Many people are professionals in their field and have valuable information and insight to share.
G. An often overlooked yet simple way to improve is to increase your knowledge by being a self-starter.

【知识点】独白
【解析】【听力原文】W: It's easy for parents to get worried about their kids being left behind. But the truth is, two-year-olds don't need a computer. Early-childhood experts agree that two-year-olds need experience in the real first. At about three and a half, most children can learn to handle the mouse. At this age, kids may not need a computer, but they'll enjoy it. And they'll learn from it, often in unforeseen ways. Judy Salpeter, San Francisco, California, editor of Technology and Learning, remembers that when her son was three, he loved a paint-box program that allowed him to position stamps of little figures on the screen. One day, she overheard him saying, "I'll put all these here because they're food, and all these here because they're animals." Although the software hadn't been designed to teach classification, it allowed him to experiment with that idea himself. If you don't have a computer by the time your child goes to school, he'll form his first impressions of computers in the classroom. It's OK for them to learn the computer at school. But if they had used it at home, they'll feel smarter and it's easier for them to succeed in their studies. By third or fourth grade, however, students may be at a definite disadvantage in both writing and research if they don't have at-home access toward processing programs.

20．问题：为什么孩子们有必要在家里学习电脑？根据“But if they had used it at home, they'll feel smarter and it's easier for them to succeed in their studies. By third or fourth grade, however, students may be at a definite disadvantage in both writing and research if they don't have at-home access toward processing programs.”但如果他们在家里使用它，他们会觉得自己更聪明，也更容易在学业上取得成功。然而，到了三年级或四年级，如果学生不能在家学习处理程序，他们在写作和研究方面可能会处于明显的劣势。故选A。

33．考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段“The authors suggest several reasons for this. First, married queens may have been able to form more military alliances(联盟),making them confident enough to pick fights. Their husbands had often served in the army before they married, and were well placed to strengthen military ties between their homelands and their wives’ states.”作者提出了几个原因。首先，已婚皇后可能已经能够形成更多的军事联盟，使他们有足够的信心挑起战争。他们的丈夫在结婚前经常在军队服役，他们处于有利地位，可以加强祖国和妻子所在州之间的军事联系。可知，他们的丈夫会帮助其管理国家。故选C。

【知识点】故事阅读类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者去上海的计划。
（1）句意：我已经看过很多关于上海的文件，并一直想要去上海。“大量的”，表达为plenty of，故去掉a。
（2）句意：我已经看过很多关于上海的文件，并一直想要去上海。此处意为“我一直渴望去上海”，强调从过去持续到现在的动作，故此处应用现在完成时，故had改为have。
（3）句意：我就会沿着外滩散步，在外滩，我可以看到很多西方建筑。此处引导定语从句，先行词为the Bund，在定语从句作地点状语，故应用where引导，故将which改为where；或理解为介词+which引导定语从句，表示“在外滩”用介词on，也可用在which前加上on。故which改为where或者在which前加on。
（4）句意；对于午餐，我想要在豫园吃一些美味的小吃。全文讲述作者去上海的计划，主语为I，故we改为I。
（5）句意：对于午餐，我想要在豫园吃一些美味的小吃。snack“零食”为可数名词，且此处为复数形式，以为你“吃各种零食”，故snack改为snacks。
（6）句意：午餐之后，我打算去参观东方明珠塔，这是世界第七高塔。此处意为“世界上第七高塔”，故应用序数词+adj.最高级，故high改为highest。
（7）句意：而且，我也将爬到塔的顶部，鸟瞰整个现代化的城市。此处修饰名词city，应用形容词modern“现代的”作定语，故modernly改为modern。
（8）句意：只有通过这种方式，我才能更了解上海。“通过这种方式”表达为in this way，故by改为in。
（9）只有通过这种方式，我才能更了解上海。此处意为“更好地理解……”，表达为have a better understanding of…，故在better前加上a。
（10）句意：我希望我参观上海的愿望在今年可以实现。此处wish与realize之间为被动关系，应用过去分词和will be构成一般将来时的被动语态。故realizing改为realized。

72．【答案】Dear teachers and my fellow students,
Good morning. I am Li Hua. Much honored to deliver a speech on behalf of senior three students here, I would like to share my humble opinions on how to better adapt to senior three life.
It is certain that the coming year is laden with difficulties and challenges. With in total six major subjects to work on, chances are that we will frequently feel a shortage of time. Besides, the highly intense study life is likely to cause stress and anxiety, which leads to low efficiency and even health problems.
Faced with these possible obstacles, we need a detailed study schedule to maximize our efficiency. Meanwhile, it's necessary to occasionally take off the burden, get enough exercise and relax.
I'm now determined to reach for the stars and firmly believe that as long as we are mentally and physically prepared, we can manage senior three life perfectly.
Thank you for listening.

【知识点】独白
【解析】【听力原文】W: It's easy for parents to get worried about their kids being left behind. But the truth is, two-year-olds don't need a computer. Early-childhood experts agree that two-year-olds need experience in the real first. At about three and a half, most children can learn to handle the mouse. At this age, kids may not need a computer, but they'll enjoy it. And they'll learn from it, often in unforeseen ways. Judy Salpeter, San Francisco, California, editor of Technology and Learning, remembers that when her son was three, he loved a paint-box program that allowed him to position stamps of little figures on the screen. One day, she overheard him saying, "I'll put all these here because they're food, and all these here because they're animals." Although the software hadn't been designed to teach classification, it allowed him to experiment with that idea himself. If you don't have a computer by the time your child goes to school, he'll form his first impressions of computers in the classroom. It's OK for them to learn the computer at school. But if they had used it at home, they'll feel smarter and it's easier for them to succeed in their studies. By third or fourth grade, however, students may be at a definite disadvantage in both writing and research if they don't have at-home access toward processing programs.
【点评】考查听力理解能力，首先看懂问题，然后根据问题在文中找出依据，选出正确答案。
18．问题：大多数孩子什么时候才能学会使用电脑？根据“At about three and a half, most children can learn to handle the mouse.”大约三岁半的时候，大多数孩子都能学会操作鼠标。故选B。
19．问题：朱迪的儿子是怎么知道分类的？根据“Although the software hadn't been designed to teach classification, it allowed him to experiment with that idea himself.”尽管该软件不是为了教授分类而设计的，但它让他自己也能尝试这个想法。可知朱迪的儿子自己知道分类的。故选A。
20．问题：为什么孩子们有必要在家里学习电脑？根据“But if they had used it at home, they'll feel smarter and it's easier for them to succeed in their studies. By third or fourth grade, however, students may be at a definite disadvantage in both writing and research if they don't have at-home access toward processing programs.”但如果他们在家里使用它，他们会觉得自己更聪明，也更容易在学业上取得成功。然而，到了三年级或四年级，如果学生不能在家学习处理程序，他们在写作和研究方面可能会处于明显的劣势。故选A。

23．考查细节理解。根据Personality and creativity, 40 percent部分中的“ Does it make us laugh or cry or leave us deep in thought ”它会让我们笑，让我们哭，还是让我们陷入沉思？可知，播客的内容有笑点或泪点，B项说必须要有教育意义和娱乐性，不符合。故选B。
阅读理解
The most important life lesson I've learned from running is to run at my own pace. This lesson has guided me in many ways. In particular, it made me challenge the fixed expectations of retirement and aging.
Running is a metaphor (隐喻) for life. I realized this while training for a marathon to celebrate my 60th birthday. All the other runners being faster than me made me embarrassed, but my coach shared some valuable advice: run at your own best pace — setting a goal or target time could be a limitation. He was right. Over time I ran more easily and faster. I also enjoyed the experience much more.
I have applied this principle to other areas of my life. Finding a rhythm is not about efficiency or how many things I can get done in a day. It has more to do with what I decide to do at this stage in my life. Running carries its own set of expectations, including what people at certain life stage should be doing or not doing. Expectations at my age can center on how leisure time is spent, decisions about employment, and even the role of a grandparent.
I used to think it was young people who bore the impact of peer pressure, but older adults can experience it too. This is ironic, because often later in this life is a time when we tend to care less about the opinions of others.
I'm not suggesting we postpone dreams. Of course, we should do what matters to us, but it's easy to view retirement as another occupation with benchmarks (基准) to be met. It's a comparison trap that makes what someone else does the reference point.
Forget what others are doing. Their pace is not necessarily the pace you should run at. Run at your own way. Our bodies know what they need. Our hearts know what they need. In living life on our own terms, we will likely feel stronger in body, mind and spirit.
24．What motivated the author to participate in marathon
A．Her keen wish to celebrate her 60th birthday.
B．Her strong curiosity for fighting against aging.
C．Her eager interest in doing regular exercise.
D．Her urgent need to enhance her health and mind.
25．What do the underlined words "this principle" in paragraph 3 probably refer to
A．Setting a target time. B．Finding your limitation.
C．Enjoying your decisions. D．Running at your own pace.
26．What does the author think of peer pressure
A．Its impact is only limited to young generations.
B．Even senior citizens cannot avoid it completely.
C．Its existence is too ridiculous to explain.
D．It ends if we stop pursuing our dreams.
27．What might the author intend to convey through her experience
A．Look before you leap.
B．Birds of a feather flock together.
C．It's never old late to learn.
D．Don't follow the crowd.
【答案】24．A

【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；人生百味类；夹叙夹议
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，讲述了作者通过跑马拉松，教练给他的建议，明白了每个人的人生应该有自己的节奏，而不是按照别人的节奏来生活。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，要求考生准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。
24．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“I realized this while training for a marathon to celebrate my 60th birthday. ”我是在为庆祝我60岁生日的马拉松训练时意识到这一点的。可知，庆祝60岁生日的强烈愿望激励了作者参加马拉松。故选A。
25．考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“All the other runners being faster than me made me embarrassed, but my coach shared some valuable advice: run at your own best pace — setting a goal or target time could be a limitation. ”所有其他跑得比我快的人都让我很尴尬，但我的教练分享了一些宝贵的建议:以你自己的最佳节奏跑步——设定一个目标或目标时间可能是一种限制。说明教练建议作者按照自己的速度跑步，不用在意其他人的速度。从而推知第三段“I have applied this principle to other areas of my life.”的意思是：我把this principle应用到我生活的其他方面。其中划线短 this principle 应为“按照自己最好的节奏跑步”的意思。故选D。
26．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“I used to think it was young people who bore the impact of peer pressure, but older adults can experience it too.”我曾经认为只有年轻人才会受到同辈压力的影响，但老年人也会有同样的感受。可知，作者认为在同辈压力影响方面，即使是老年人也不能完全避免它。故选B。
27．考查推理判断。根据最后一段“Forget what others are doing. Their pace is not necessarily the pace you should run at. Run at your own way. Our bodies know what they need. Our hearts know what they need. In living life on our own terms, we will likely feel stronger in body, mind and spirit.”忘记别人在做什么。他们的速度不一定是你应该跑的速度。按照你自己的方式奔跑。我们的身体知道自己需要什么。我们的心知道自己需要什么。按照自己的方式生活，我们可能会在身体、思想和精神上感到更强大。可知，作者打算通过她的经历向读者传达，按照自己的节奏生活，不要随大流儿。故选D。

On January 7, David Bennett went into the operating room at the University of Maryland Medical Center for a surgical procedure never performed before on a human. The 57-year-old Maryland resident had been hospitalized for months due to a life threatening disease. His heart was failing him and he needed a new one.
Bennett's condition left him unresponsive to treatment and ineligible (不合格) for the transplant list or an artificial heart pump. The physician-scientists at the center, however, had another-also-risky-option: transplant (移植) a heart from a genetically-modified pig.
"It was either die or do this transplant," Bennett had told surgeons a day before the operation. "I want to live. I know it's a shot in the dark, but it's also my last choice."
It took the medical team eight hours to finish the operation, making Bennett the first human to successfully receive a pig's heart. "It's working and it looks normal. We are thrilled, but we don't know what tomorrow will bring us. This has never been done before," Barkley Griffith, who led the transplant team, told the New York Times.
While it's only been five days since the operation, the surgeons say that Bennett's new pig heart has been, so far, functioning as expected and his body wasn't rejecting (排斥) the organ. They are still monitoring his condition closely.
"I think it's extremely exciting," says Robert Montgomery, transplant surgeon and director of the NYU Langone Transplant Institute, who was not involved in Bennett's operation. The result of the procedure was also personally meaningful for Montgomery, who received a heart transplant in 2018 due to a genetic disease that may also affect members of his family in the future. "It's still in the early days, but still the heart seems to be functioning. And that in and of itself is an extraordinary thing. Up to now most experimental heart transplant procedures have been done between pigs and other animals. This is the first time that surgeons have taken it into a living human."
28．What do the words "a shot in the dark" underlined in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Something that costs a fortune.
B．Something impossible to succeed.
C．Something drawing public attention.
D．Something with an uncertain outcome.
29．What is Barkley Griffith's attitude to Bennett's post-operation condition
A．Negative. B．Cautious. C．Optimistic. D．Uncaring.
30．What is the text mainly about
A．The heated debate over the pig heart transplant.
B．David Bennett's contribution to medical research.
C．The first experimental pig heart transplant in the world.
D．The first successful pig heart transplant into a living human.
31．In which section of a magazine may this text appear

Women were less likely than men to support the Vietnam war, the Gulf war, or the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. They commit far fewer murders. They are less likely to favor strikes. For some scholars, these are grounds for thinking that a world run by women would be more peaceful.
But European history suggests otherwise, according to political scientists Oeindrila Dube and S. P. Harish. They studied how often European rulers went to war between 1480 and 1913, and found that states ruled by queens were 27% more likely to get involved in wars than those ruled by kings.
This was not all the queens' fault: men, seeing them as soft targets, tended to attack them. Frederick the Great of Prussia once declared: "No woman should ever be allowed to govern anything." Shortly after becoming king, he attacked the newly crowned Archduchess of Austria, Maria Theresa, and seized Silesia province. Despite years of war, she never recovered it.
But perceived weakness is not the whole story. Queens, the researchers found, were more likely to gain new territory. Catherine the Great expanded her empire by some 200,000 square miles. And married queens were more aggressive than single queens or kings, whether single or married.
The authors suggest several reasons for this. First, married queens may have been able to form more military alliances (联盟), making them confident enough to pick fights. Their husbands had often served in the army before they married, and were well placed to strengthen military ties between their homelands and their wives' states.
Second, unlike most kings, queens often gave their husbands a lot of power, putting them in charge of foreign policy or the economy. During the 1740s, Maria Theresa's husband, Francis I, reformed the Austrian economy and raised money for the armed forces while his wife ruled much of central Europe. Prince Albert was Queen Victoria's most trusted adviser, shaping her foreign policy until his death in1861. This division of labor, the authors suggest, freed up time for queens to pursue more aggressive policies.
The modern era, too, has witnessed female leaders in wars: Golda Meir and the Yom Kippur war, or Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands. The number of countries led by women has more than doubled since 2000, but there is plenty of room for improvement: the current level of 15 represents less than 10% of the total. A world in which more women took power might be more equal. Whether it would be more peaceful is a different question.
32．The underlined "perceived weakness" in paragraph 4 means that ____.
A．women were less likely to support wars
B．women could not recover lost territory
C．women commit far fewer crimes
D．women were soft targets
33．Why were married queens more likely to gain new territory
A．Because their military alliances picked fights for them.
B．Because they were ambitious and aggressive by nature.
C．Because their husbands were supportive in state governing.
D．Because they centralized all power into their own hands.
34．What is the purpose of mentioning the two female leaders in the last paragraph
A．To imply there is room for improvement in gender equality.
B．To indicate more females become leaders in modern times.
C．To illustrate female leaders cannot prevent wars in modern times.
D．To suggest female leaders have their share of wars in modern times.
35．According to the passage, we can safely conclude that ____.
A．married women are not fit to govern their states on their own
B．female leaders should be responsible for all wars throughout history
C．the world wouldn't be more peaceful even if more women took power
D．the division of labor allows queens to survive economic crisis
【答案】32．D

【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；说明文；社会历史类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了由女性执政的国家历史上并不比男性执政的国家和平，已婚女王带领的国家其实经历了更多的战争。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇历史类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
32．考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“This was not all the queens’ fault: men, seeing them as soft targets, tended to attack them. ”这不全是女王的错：男人们把他们视为软目标，倾向于攻击他们；以及下文可知，男人们将女人看作软柿子，倾向于攻击她们，然后举例证明男人攻击女性执政的国家，而第四段却表示这不是完整的故事，说明划线词应该指代上文男性对女性的轻视，因此画线的句子应该理解为“认为女人是软柿子”。故选D。
33．考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段“The authors suggest several reasons for this. First, married queens may have been able to form more military alliances(联盟),making them confident enough to pick fights. Their husbands had often served in the army before they married, and were well placed to strengthen military ties between their homelands and their wives’ states.”作者提出了几个原因。首先，已婚皇后可能已经能够形成更多的军事联盟，使他们有足够的信心挑起战争。他们的丈夫在结婚前经常在军队服役，他们处于有利地位，可以加强祖国和妻子所在州之间的军事联系。可知，他们的丈夫会帮助其管理国家。故选C。
34．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“The modern era, too, has witnessed female leaders in wars: Golda Meir and the Yom Kippur war, or Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands. ”现代也见证了战争中的女性领导人：戈尔达·梅尔和赎罪日战争，或者玛格丽特·撒切尔和福克兰群岛。可知，这里举例是想表明当代的女性领导者也在战争中有参与。故选D。
35．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“A world in which more women took power might be more equal. Whether it would be more peaceful is a different question.”一个有更多女性掌权的世界可能会更加平等。是否会更和平是另一个问题。可知，越来越多女性执政可能世界会更平等，但是是否更和平就是另一回事了，且前面一直介绍历史上和现代女性执政者都参与战争，所以我们可以总结出就算更多女性执政，世界也不会变得更加和平。故选C。
四、任务型阅读(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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many people wonder what they can do to become well-rounded and competitive while increasing their rate of success. 　36． 　
Be willing to expand your mind. Rid yourself of assumptions and convictions so that you can be open and receptive to new information. 　37． 　 You will eventually come across information that challenges your worldview. Rather than remaining resting in your comfort zone, use this time to stop, reflect and shed light on these ideas in a way that can develop and expand your vision.
After the mind has been ready, the next step is application. 　38． 　 Learning information you can use in your daily life is very important to having a continuous desire to further advance your education. Skill-based learning, for example, is useless if it isn't applied. Reading a book on automobile repair isn't the same as physically changing the oil or tire on your car. Reading about art isn't the same as picking up a brush. If your knowledge can be directly applied in a functional and fun fashion, put it into practice! Many people learn by being hands-on.
Surround yourself with like-minded individuals and try to always take something valuable away from your daily interactions. 　39． 　 If you come across anything that confuses you, ask them! Never be too prideful, for each question you don't ask is a missed opportunity!
　40． 　 Commit to expanding your mind, continuing your education and becoming a student of life. Use the world as your classroom, and always come away with a lesson. Remember to cultivate your mind so it is prepared to expand, blossom and grow. And share your fountain of knowledge.
A. Go ahead and challenge yourself today.
B. Create a to-learn list just as you would a to-do list.
C. There are so many things they can do to achieve their goal.
D. You can find a large number of outstanding people in your school.

Dear teachers and my fellow students,
Good morning.
Thank you for listening.
【答案】Dear teachers and my fellow students,
Good morning. I am Li Hua. Much honored to deliver a speech on behalf of senior three students here, I would like to share my humble opinions on how to better adapt to senior three life.
It is certain that the coming year is laden with difficulties and challenges. With in total six major subjects to work on, chances are that we will frequently feel a shortage of time. Besides, the highly intense study life is likely to cause stress and anxiety, which leads to low efficiency and even health problems.
Faced with these possible obstacles, we need a detailed study schedule to maximize our efficiency. Meanwhile, it's necessary to occasionally take off the burden, get enough exercise and relax.
I'm now determined to reach for the stars and firmly believe that as long as we are mentally and physically prepared, we can manage senior three life perfectly.
Thank you for listening.
