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 100years
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 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 company because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 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 white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. 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 refused by the law company
A. Her lack of proper training in law.
B. Her little work experience in court.
C. Women were looked down upon.
D. The poor family situation.
3 Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the U.S.
A. Jane Addams.
B. Rachel Carson.
C. Sandra Day O’Connor.
D. Rosa Parks.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了对人类发展产生重大影响的四位女性Jane Addams、Rachel Carson、Sandra Day O’Connor以及Rosa Parks的故事，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。根据小标题Jane Addams下的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.(任何曾经得到过社工帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams)”可知，任何一个得到社会工作者帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。由此可知，正是Jane Addams推动了社会工作的发展，她才因此而出名。故A项正确。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据小标题Sandra Day O’Connor下的“When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law company 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，因为是女性，Sandra Day O’Connor在律师事务所找不到工作。由此可知，律师事务所拒绝O’Connor主要是因为她是一位女性，也就是对妇女的歧视。故C项正确。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据小标题Rosa Parks下的“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.(它持续了一年多，并拉开了民权运动的序幕。Parks说：“我唯一感到疲倦的是，我厌倦了屈服。”)”可知，正是因为Rosa Parks的努力，美国的民权运动才得以推进，她对美国的人权运动做出了巨大的贡献。故D项正确。
B
Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for Science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married, some worked with their husbands, and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.
In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her father collected fossils(化石) in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.
When she was only twelve years old, Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons(骨架) of several animals that no longer existed on the earth.She didn’t become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.
In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland.She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. They received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with another scientist.Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Noble Prize in 1911, this time for Chemistry. Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist.

【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. (在19世纪早期的英国， Mary Anning成为第一批因发现地球古代历史而被认可的女性之一。)”可知，Mary Anning是在古代地球研究方面取得成就的女性之一。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. (Marie和Pierre Curie结婚了，并共同做出了许多发现。)”可以推知，Marie Sklodowska结婚后有许多科学发现。故选D项。

What are scientists They are often described as gray-haired white-coated dull scholars.
But the world has changed.Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage.
This is also true in China.Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji,university professor Liu Mingzhen,and biologist Wan Ruixue.At the age of 28 in 2018,Wan Ruixue received the 2018 Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists.This is a global prize to reward outstanding scientists at an early stage of their careers.
She focuses mainly on biomedicine (生物医学) and artificial intelligence.“Both are cutting-edge (前沿) technologies at an early stage of development,” she said.
“So,I think they have great potential to be developed.I think in the study of cutting-edge technologies,China and other leading countries in the world are standing on the same starting line.And in the study of structural biology,China is likely to become the leader.”
She felt it was her fate to become a biologist.“I grew interested in the natural world,when I was very young,” she said.In 2009,she entered Sun Yat-sen University.
In her third year at the university,she realized that she wanted to do something related to biomedicine.So she emailed China’s top biologist Shi Yigong,hoping to join his lab at Tsinghua University.
Shi recognised her talent and welcomed her.Years of efforts at the lab have paid off.Her research on the high-definition 3D structure of spliceosome led to a scientific breakthrough.
Unlike many of other young scientists who choose to pursue further study abroad,Wan currently has no plan to go overseas.
“The whole ecosystem for scientific research is continually improving in China,” she said,adding that the country has great science facilities.
8. What does the underlined word “releasing” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Giving out. B. Getting over.
C. Finding out. D. Taking over.
9. What does Wan Ruixue feel about the study of cutting-edge technologies in China
A. Anxious. B. Confident.
C. Disappointed. D. Satisfied.
10. What can we learn about Wan Ruixue’s journey of becoming a biologist
A. Her teacher led her into the field.
B She finds it’s easier than she thought.
C. Her contribution has been recognised.
D. She thinks it’s boring but worth trying.

Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, turned 200 years old in 2018! It has been called the first true work of science fiction and the first English horror novel. The story has been told over and over again—not just in books, but in movies and television shows. To celebrate, New York City s Morgan Library & Museum has a special exhibit on the writer and the book.
The reason for the success is that Doctor Frankenstein and his creature, the monster, live on in numerous remakes, shows, and even comic books.
Mary Shelley’s classic is one of the most famous horror stories of all time. But Frankenstein is so much more than that. It presents ideas or themes that are still important today. Knowing something about her suffering can help readers have a good knowledge of her work. Shelley wrote the book when she was only 18 years old. And it relates to her own sad life. Her mother died 10 days after she gave birth to her. She knew what it meant to be a child without a mother. It is no surprise that Shelley wrote a story about a motherless creature one that is very much alone in the world.
Losing her mother shortly after her birth in 1797 was only part of her life story. Mary Shelley gave birth to four children, but only one child survived to adulthood.
Around the age of 17, she fell in love with the poet Percy Shelley. The two writers got married in 1816. However, the marriage of Percy and Mary Shelley was short-lived. Her husband died in a sailing accident in 1822. She was still in her twenties when she became a widow. In some ways, it’s not entirely surprising that she ended up with a story about a monster without a mother.
After the publication of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley continued to write. She died from brain cancer on February 1,1851. Her most important legacy is a monster that is still very much alive today.
12. What do we know about Frankenstein
A. It exists in different forms of art.
B. It is a romantic fiction.
C. It is not popular with modern readers.
D. It has been made into the most interesting science fiction movie.
13. What did Shelley and the monster have in common
A. They were quite creative. B. They felt lonely.
C. They had the same character. D. They behaved badly at home.
14. Why did the author mention Shelley’s sufferings
A. To show pity to her. B. To introduce her to readers.
C. To make readers understand her novel better. D. To show her difficulty in writing the novel.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Success comes from struggle.
B. Hardship creates a great person.
C. Shelley’s experiences contribute to the success of Frankenstein.
D. Frankenstein comes into the market.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Mary Shelley的科幻小说Frankenstein在2018年迎来了200岁的生日! 它被称为第一部真正的科幻小说作品和第一部英国恐怖小说。Frankenstein存在于不同的艺术形式中，而正是Shelley的悲惨遭遇成就了这部经典作品。文章主要介绍了Shelley一生的事迹。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中The story has been told over and over again—not just in books, but in movies and television shows.可知这个故事被一遍又一遍地讲述——不仅在书中，在电影和电视节目中也是如此。以及第二段The reason for the success is that Doctor Frankenstein and his creature, the monster, live on in numerous remakes, shows, and even comic books.可知成功的原因是Frankenstein博士和他的怪物，在无数的翻拍，表演，甚至漫画书中继续存在。由此可知，Frankenstein存在于不同的艺术形式中。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中But Frankenstein is so much more than that. It presents ideas or themes that are still important today. Knowing something about her suffering can help readers have a good knowledge of her work. Shelley wrote the book when she was only 18 years old. And it relates to her own sad life. Her mother died 10 days after she gave birth to her. She knew what it meant to be a child without a mother. It is no surprise that Shelley wrote a story about a motherless creature one that is very much alone in the world.可知但Frankenstein的意义远不止于此。它提出的观点或主题在今天仍然很重要。了解她的遭遇有助于读者更好地了解她的作品。Shelley写这本书时只有18岁。这和她自己的悲惨生活有关。她的母亲在生下她10天后去世了。她知道对一个没有母亲的孩子意味着什么。Shelley写了一个故事，关于一个没有母亲的生物，它在世界上非常孤独的故事，这并不奇怪。由此可知，Shelley和怪物的共同之处是她们都感到孤独。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中But Frankenstein is so much more than that. It presents ideas or themes that are still important today. Knowing something about her suffering can help readers have a good knowledge of her work.可知但Frankenstein的意义远不止于此。它提出的观点或主题在今天仍然很重要。了解她的遭遇有助于读者更好地了解她的作品。由此可推知，作者提到Shelley的苦难，是为了让读者更好地理解她的小说。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中Mary Shelley’s classic is one of the most famous horror stories of all time. But Frankenstein is so much more than that. It presents ideas or themes that are still important today. Knowing something about her suffering can help readers have a good knowledge of her work.可知Mary Shelley的经典是有史以来最著名的恐怖故事之一。但Frankenstein的意义远不止于此。它提出的观点或主题在今天仍然很重要。了解她的遭遇有助于读者更好地了解她的作品。结合文章主要说明了Mary Shelley的科幻小说Frankenstein在2018年迎来了200岁的生日! 它被称为第一部真正的科幻小说作品和第一部英国恐怖小说。Frankenstein存在与不同的艺术形式中，而正是Shelley的悲惨遭遇成就了这部经典作品。文章主要介绍了Shelley的一生事迹。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是Shelley的经历促成了《弗兰肯斯坦》的成功。故选C。

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 100years
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 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 company because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 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 white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. 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.

Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for Science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married, some worked with their husbands, and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.
In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her father collected fossils(化石) in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.
When she was only twelve years old, Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons(骨架) of several animals that no longer existed on the earth.She didn’t become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.
In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland.She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. They received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with another scientist.Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Noble Prize in 1911, this time for Chemistry. Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist.
4. The author believes that women scientists________.
A. have more opportunities to become successful
B. can not get the highest honors in the world
C. go through difficulties to be successful
D. had better pay more attention to their families
5. Mary Anning was one of the first women to ________.
A. win the Noble Prize for Science after getting married
B. make achievements in the study of ancient earth
C. research animals and their bones
D. study the mystery of all kinds of plants
6. What can we learn about Marie Sklodowska
A. She studied physics in Poland and got a college education.
B. She received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 on her own.
C She only got one Nobel Prize during her lifetime.
D. She made many discoveries after she got married.
7. What’s the passage mainly about

What are scientists They are often described as gray-haired white-coated dull scholars.
But the world has changed.Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage.
This is also true in China.Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji,university professor Liu Mingzhen,and biologist Wan Ruixue.At the age of 28 in 2018,Wan Ruixue received the 2018 Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists.This is a global prize to reward outstanding scientists at an early stage of their careers.
She focuses mainly on biomedicine (生物医学) and artificial intelligence.“Both are cutting-edge (前沿) technologies at an early stage of development,” she said.
“So,I think they have great potential to be developed.I think in the study of cutting-edge technologies,China and other leading countries in the world are standing on the same starting line.And in the study of structural biology,China is likely to become the leader.”
She felt it was her fate to become a biologist.“I grew interested in the natural world,when I was very young,” she said.In 2009,she entered Sun Yat-sen University.
In her third year at the university,she realized that she wanted to do something related to biomedicine.So she emailed China’s top biologist Shi Yigong,hoping to join his lab at Tsinghua University.
Shi recognised her talent and welcomed her.Years of efforts at the lab have paid off.Her research on the high-definition 3D structure of spliceosome led to a scientific breakthrough.
Unlike many of other young scientists who choose to pursue further study abroad,Wan currently has no plan to go overseas.
“The whole ecosystem for scientific research is continually improving in China,” she said,adding that the country has great science facilities.
8. What does the underlined word “releasing” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Giving out. B. Getting over.
C. Finding out. D. Taking over.
9. What does Wan Ruixue feel about the study of cutting-edge technologies in China

Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, turned 200 years old in 2018! It has been called the first true work of science fiction and the first English horror novel. The story has been told over and over again—not just in books, but in movies and television shows. To celebrate, New York City s Morgan Library & Museum has a special exhibit on the writer and the book.
The reason for the success is that Doctor Frankenstein and his creature, the monster, live on in numerous remakes, shows, and even comic books.
Mary Shelley’s classic is one of the most famous horror stories of all time. But Frankenstein is so much more than that. It presents ideas or themes that are still important today. Knowing something about her suffering can help readers have a good knowledge of her work. Shelley wrote the book when she was only 18 years old. And it relates to her own sad life. Her mother died 10 days after she gave birth to her. She knew what it meant to be a child without a mother. It is no surprise that Shelley wrote a story about a motherless creature one that is very much alone in the world.
Losing her mother shortly after her birth in 1797 was only part of her life story. Mary Shelley gave birth to four children, but only one child survived to adulthood.
Around the age of 17, she fell in love with the poet Percy Shelley. The two writers got married in 1816. However, the marriage of Percy and Mary Shelley was short-lived. Her husband died in a sailing accident in 1822. She was still in her twenties when she became a widow. In some ways, it’s not entirely surprising that she ended up with a story about a monster without a mother.
After the publication of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley continued to write. She died from brain cancer on February 1,1851. Her most important legacy is a monster that is still very much alive today.
12. What do we know about Frankenstein
A. It exists in different forms of art.
B. It is a romantic fiction.
C. It is not popular with modern readers.
D. It has been made into the most interesting science fiction movie.
13. What did Shelley and the monster have in common
A. They were quite creative. B. They felt lonely.
C. They had the same character. D. They behaved badly at home.
14. Why did the author mention Shelley’s sufferings
A. To show pity to her. B. To introduce her to readers.
C. To make readers understand her novel better. D. To show her difficulty in writing the novel.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Success comes from struggle.
B. Hardship creates a great person.
C. Shelley’s experiences contribute to the success of Frankenstein.
D. Frankenstein comes into the market.
