一、阅读理解
阅读下面三篇语言材料，然后按文后要求做题
A
During his first years at Cambridge University. Stephen Hawking’s life was full of color. He felt as if the world was in his hands and he had a promising future. But his life changed. A rare disease stood in the way of his university life. When he went to see a doctor, he got the saddest news of his life: He had motor neuron disease (运动神经元病), a disease that causes the muscles (肌肉) to become weaker and ends in paralysis (瘫痪).
For someone in his 20s, with lots of promise and dreams, it was no doubt terrible news. What was worse, the doctor told him that the average life expectancy (平均寿命) for people with his disease was no more than two years.
In one moment, his world broke into pieces. But rather than feel sorry for himself, he made peace with life. He accepted that he wouldn’t live long, but he wanted to make his life brighter. He continued studying physics and later, as we know, he made great contributions to the field.
When he lived past the average life expectancy of two years, he surprised everybody. And more surprisingly, he lived for decades (数十年) more. During those years, he got married and became a father to three children. On March 14, 2018. Hawking died in Cambridge, UK at the age of 76.
Stephen Hawking didn’t stop when he had difficulties. He contributed to the world with his strong will. He is seen as the greatest scientist since Albert Einstein. Without a doubt, his life was still colorful and meaningful.

What would life be like if you were a rocker, a soccer player, a professor at Stanford University, and a Nobel Prize winner Carolyn Bertozzi from the US lives such a cool life!
Bertozzi, 56, shares this year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry with Barry Sharpless and Morten Meldal. She became this year’s only woman winner in science and the eighth woman to receive the chemistry prize in history.
Bertozzi won the prize for studying the sugar coats of cells (细胞). She has found a smart way to connect cells by connecting their sugar coats. The cells then have a green color so that scientists can see clearly where they are and how they move. According to the University of California, Berkeley, this finding has a quite good influence on medicine.
In spite of her great achievements, Bertozzi said she was not very interested in chemistry until her second year at Harvard University. “The professors made the class very difficult,” she told Chemistry World magazine. “My classmates complained a lot, but it matched my brain.”
Except for doing science studies, Bertozzi has lived a colorful life. She was a keyboarder (键盘手) in a rock band. “I even used to think about making music my major (专业),” she said. She also played soccer and won a scholarship in sports from Harvard.
As a female scientist, Bertozzi tries to encourage female students. “In the late 1980s, maybe 10 percent of the students were female,” she said. “There were maybe one or two women in a lab, so we tried to support each other by starting a monthly get-together for all the women students around me.” In 2022, Bertozzi won an award for this.
Her experience made her learn a very important lesson: You don’t need to know how to succeed quickly. All you need to do is to do some work every day and solve problems step by step. The way to success may finally appear.
根据材料内容，选择正确答案。
6．Why did Bertozzi win this year’s Nobel Prize
A．Because she was a professor and very interested in chemistry.
B．Because she is the eighth female professor at Stanford University.
C．Because she found a way to connect cells and make them clearer to see.
D．Because she found a new type of cells with a green color in the lab.
7．How might Bertozzi describe her chemistry class in her second year at Harvard University
A．Useless and quite difficult. B．Boring and very simple.
C．Difficult and really boring. D．Interesting and not hard.
8．What can we learn from Paragraph 5
A．Bertozzi once wrote songs for a rock band.
B．Bertozzi once studied music at her university.
C．Bertozzi lived a colorful life except for doing research.
D．Bertozzi won a scholarship because of her talent in chemistry.
9．How did Bertozzi encourage female students in the 1980s
A．She set an award for women in some science laboratories.
B．She increased the number of female students by 10 percent.
C．She helped start a monthly get-together for women students.
D．She built a new lab for some female students to do research.
10．What do we learn from Bertozzi

C．We should find the ways to succeed quickly.
D．We should be patient and work hard to succeed.
C
China’s FAST is the largest radio telescope in the world. It is as large as 30 soccer fields. It has received weak radio messages far away in space. Since April in 2021, China has opened it to the world. By sharing it with more scientists, the powerful tool will help human look deeper into the universe.
The idea of building the huge telescope was from the Chinese scientist, Nan Rendong.
He began working on the FAST project in 1994. He led a research team to work around the clock. The biggest and most important challenge was where to build the telescope. Nan and his team spent more than ten years climbing up and down the mountains to find the right place. Finally, they chose a quiet mountain valley (山谷). It’s good for listening for weak signals. Then Nan began to work there most of his time. Life was quite hard in deep mountains, but he only cared about how to finish the project. With little experience, it was difficult to build such a huge telescope. With great effort and a strong will, he led his team to overcome all kinds of difficulties and finally completed the project in 2016.
From a strong middle-aged man to an elder, he devoted himself to the project.
Nan passed away at the age of 72. He lived simply all his lifetime. He never thought about his own gain or loss. He is the role model of our times. We should learn from him and connect our dream with the development of our country.
根据材料内容，选择正确答案。
11．China’s FAST is a ________.
A．telephone B．television C．telescope D．telegram
12．In the writer’s opinion, what’s the key of Nan’s success
A．Great effort and a strong will. B．Saving up his energy.
C．Sharing with the world. D．Good luck.
13．What does the underlined word “devote himself to” mean in the passage
A．be on behalf of B．put all the energy into
C．have no effort on D．protect him from
14．What does the writer call on the readers to do
A．We needn’t pay any attention to small jobs.
B．In order to succeed, we should learn more about science.
C．We are supposed to connect our dream with the development of our country.
D．We should take more measures to build the FAST.
15．What’s the best title of the passage

五．例文
Failure Is the Mother of Success
I’d like to tell you a story. Before Edison invented bulbs, he failed over and over again, up to more than eight thousand times. But he didn’t give up trying. At the same time, all his friends laughed at what he did. However, he thought he could find ways to improve from these failures. Finally, he succeeded in inventing the first bulb in the world.
In my opinion, we should all learn from Edison. We may meet lots of difficulties in our life, but just like the saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.” If we keep on working and never give up, we will surely succeed.
