A
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 Supreme Court of the United States. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 25 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 passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). 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.
2. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm
A. Her lack of proper training in law.
B. Her little work experience in court.
C. The discrimination against women.
D. The poor financial conditions.
3. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text
A. They are highly educated. B. They are truly creative.
C. They are pioneers. D. They are peace-lovers.
B
The home of the future won't be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today. But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams. No two homes will be the same. People will be able to buy "house kits" containing a basic house structure, with movable walls, doors and windows. They will put together the different parts to create the home they want.
Many jobs that we do today will disappear, others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won't disappear because machines can't replace them. Teachers will still exist because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more from home. The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today.
Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won't be for everyone because they won't be cheap. Short space trips will develop first, then space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century, there will be holiday centers on the moon with leisure facilities for families.
Paper won't exist in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper.
The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear sometime in the future. This isn't going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes (爆炸). We will have to explore the universe and find another home. At some point in the distant future, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another planet. There won't be any other choice.
4. Homes of the future will__________.
A. be completely different from those of today.
B. be very similar to our homes
C. be movable as you want
D. all be different from one another
5. Space trips and staying in space hotels will__________.
A. become a very common way to spend a holiday
B. be the cheapest holiday choice for families
C. still only be for very rich people
D. attract a lot of people
6. E-paper will replace traditional paper because__________.
A. it won't waste natural resource
B. young people like it
C. it will be cheaper to produce
D. it will be convenient to carry
7. We will have to move to another planet__________.
A. if we want to live a better life
B. if we want to save the human race
C. when the earth explodes
D. when the earth is too crowded to live on
C
Young adults in Singapore can often live with their parents into their 30s. They are encouraged by the government, which is fond of praising family values. Housing policy makes it difficult for young people to live independently. Almost 80% of Singaporeans live in subsidized (补助的) public housing. They cannot have a flat of their own until they marry or turn 35.
Yet a small but growing number of Singaporeans are resisting the nanny state (保姆式国家): Between 1990 and 2020, the number of those under 35 who lived alone or with non-family members grew from 33,400 to 51,300. Since they do not qualify for public housing, they must rent in the private sector. One factor is that Singaporeans are getting married later. In 1980, the average ages at which men and women married were 27 and 24; today, they are 30 and 29. A growing number choose not to marry at all. For others, it was COVID-19 that pushed them out of the nest. Serene Chee, a 25-year-old lawyer, did not greatly mind living with her parents until travel restrictions and work-from-home policies kept her stuck at home all the time. In June, Ms Chee and a friend moved into an apartment together.
Living on your own is not easy. First, you must inform your parents. It took Lydia Yang, an illustrator who was then 28, three months to gather the courage Then you must learn to pay bills and do basic chores. When Lenne Chai, a photographer, moved out seven years ago at the age of 23y she did not know how to cook.
Life on your own can be lonely. Ms Yang found it “a bit depressing”, particularly during the lockdown. But living apart may improve relationships. Both Ms Yang and Ms Chai said that they got on better with their parents after moving out. When living together, they paid each other little attention. Now their weekly visits are “quality time”, said Ms Chai. When Ms Chee’s parents came to her flat for dinner recently, they were impressed by how tidy it was.
8. What’s the attitude of the government to family values
A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Subjective.
9. What makes it hard for young people to live by themselves
A. Housing policy. B. The spread of COVID-19.
C. Parents’ disagreement. D. The limited private apartments.
10 What can we know from Paragraph 2
A. A growing number of people have enough money to hire nannies.
B. People need to rent houses because they have qualification for public housing.
C. More and more people don’t want to get married because of economic pressure.
D COVID-19 is one of the reasons why many people don’t want to live with their parents.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The definition of “quality time”. B. The positive effect of living alone.
C. The loneliness of living independently. D. The parents’ attitude to children’s independence.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了过去100年中几位杰出女性，赞扬她们为人类进步所做出的巨大贡献。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Jane Addams (1860-1935)”下文介绍中的“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. (任何曾经得到过社工帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。Addams帮助穷人，为和平而努力。她通过为有需要的人建立庇护所和促进教育和服务来鼓励社区意识。)”可知，Jane Addams因为推动了社会工作的发展在历史上出名。故选A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)”下文介绍中的 “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. (1952年，当Sandra Day O’Connor以全班第三名的成绩毕业于斯坦福法学院时，她找不到律师事务所的工作，因为她是女性。)”可知，Sandra Day O’Connor被律师事务所拒绝是因为她是一位女性，也就是针对女性的性别歧视。故选C项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson.

The home of the future won't be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today. But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams. No two homes will be the same. People will be able to buy "house kits" containing a basic house structure, with movable walls, doors and windows. They will put together the different parts to create the home they want.
Many jobs that we do today will disappear, others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won't disappear because machines can't replace them. Teachers will still exist because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more from home. The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today.
Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won't be for everyone because they won't be cheap. Short space trips will develop first, then space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century, there will be holiday centers on the moon with leisure facilities for families.
Paper won't exist in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper.
The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear sometime in the future. This isn't going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes (爆炸). We will have to explore the universe and find another home. At some point in the distant future, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another planet. There won't be any other choice.
4. Homes of the future will__________.
A. be completely different from those of today.

C. be movable as you want
D. all be different from one another
5. Space trips and staying in space hotels will__________.

C. still only be for very rich people
D. attract a lot of people
6. E-paper will replace traditional paper because__________.

B. young people like it
C. it will be cheaper to produce
D. it will be convenient to carry
7. We will have to move to another planet__________.

B. if we want to save the human race
C. when the earth explodes
D. when the earth is too crowded to live on

Young adults in Singapore can often live with their parents into their 30s. They are encouraged by the government, which is fond of praising family values. Housing policy makes it difficult for young people to live independently. Almost 80% of Singaporeans live in subsidized (补助的) public housing. They cannot have a flat of their own until they marry or turn 35.
Yet a small but growing number of Singaporeans are resisting the nanny state (保姆式国家): Between 1990 and 2020, the number of those under 35 who lived alone or with non-family members grew from 33,400 to 51,300. Since they do not qualify for public housing, they must rent in the private sector. One factor is that Singaporeans are getting married later. In 1980, the average ages at which men and women married were 27 and 24; today, they are 30 and 29. A growing number choose not to marry at all. For others, it was COVID-19 that pushed them out of the nest. Serene Chee, a 25-year-old lawyer, did not greatly mind living with her parents until travel restrictions and work-from-home policies kept her stuck at home all the time. In June, Ms Chee and a friend moved into an apartment together.
Living on your own is not easy. First, you must inform your parents. It took Lydia Yang, an illustrator who was then 28, three months to gather the courage Then you must learn to pay bills and do basic chores. When Lenne Chai, a photographer, moved out seven years ago at the age of 23y she did not know how to cook.
Life on your own can be lonely. Ms Yang found it “a bit depressing”, particularly during the lockdown. But living apart may improve relationships. Both Ms Yang and Ms Chai said that they got on better with their parents after moving out. When living together, they paid each other little attention. Now their weekly visits are “quality time”, said Ms Chai. When Ms Chee’s parents came to her flat for dinner recently, they were impressed by how tidy it was.
8. What’s the attitude of the government to family values
A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Subjective.
9. What makes it hard for young people to live by themselves
A. Housing policy. B. The spread of COVID-19.
C. Parents’ disagreement. D. The limited private apartments.
10. What can we know from Paragraph 2
A. A growing number of people have enough money to hire nannies.
B. People need to rent houses because they have qualification for public housing.
C. More and more people don’t want to get married because of economic pressure.
D. COVID-19 is one of the reasons why many people don’t want to live with their parents.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The definition of “quality time”. B. The positive effect of living alone.
C. The loneliness of living independently. D. The parents’ attitude to children’s independence.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B

60. If today is anything like yesterday, it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley. (英译汉)
【答案】如果今天像昨天一样，那将会充满汗水和艰辛，因为我要徒步跨越这片地形险峻的土地，达到峡谷另一端的目的地。
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句。分析句子可知，前半句是if引导的条件状语从句，其中含有短语anything like，译为“像……那样的东西”，所以前半句译为“如果今天像昨天一样”。主句的主语是it (它)，时态是一般将来时，所以使用了助动词will+动词原形，be full of是动词短语，译为“充满”，sweat and hard work (汗水和艰辛)在介词后作宾语，译为“汗水和艰辛”。最后是as引导的原因状语从句，原因状语从句中主语是I (我)，谓语动词是hike (徒步)，over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley是状语，译为“跨越这片地形险峻的土地，达到峡谷另一端的目的地。”，整理语序，故本句可译为：如果今天像昨天一样，那将会充满汗水和艰辛，因为我要徒步跨越这片地形险峻的土地，达到峡谷另一端的目的地。
