PRACTITIONERS
Jacqueline Felice de Almania (c.1322) highlights the suspicion that women practicing medicine faced. Born to a Jewish family in Florence, she moved to Paris where she worked as a physician and performed surgery. In 1322 she was tried for practicing unlawfully. In spite of the court hearing testimonials (证明) of her ability as a doctor, she was banned from medicine. James Barry (c.1789 — 1865) was born Margaret Bulkley in Ireland but, dressed as a man, she was accepted by Edinburgh University to study medicine. She qualified as a surgeon in 1813, then joined the British Army, serving overseas. Barry retired in 1859, having practiced her entire medical profession living and working as a man.
Tan Yunxian (1461 — 1554) was a Chinese physician who learned her skills from her grandparents. Chinese women at the time could not serve apprenticeships (学徒期) with doctors. However, Tan passed the official exam. Tan treated women from all walks of life. In 1511, Tan wrote a book, Sayings of a Female Doctor, describing her life as a physician. Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831 — 1895) worked as a nurse for eight years before studying in medical college in Boston in 1860. Four years later, she was the first African American woman to receive a medical degree. She moved to Virginia in 1865, where she provided medical care to freed slaves.

I’m in the area of Noailles in Marseille, France’s second largest city and its main trade seaport. Some small shops sell vegetables, meat, and, it seems, all the spices of the Middle East. In addition to French, languages spoken on the busy streets include Arabic and African French. It all adds up to one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Europe.
Close to the downtown street, I discover an Algerian restaurant, whose owner makes his signature dish-couscous with barley, not the usual wheat, using a recipe that hasn’t changed since the 1920s. Couscous is an necessary part of Marseille culture. The dish was added to the UNESCO’s Lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020.
To be honest, before I travelled here, couscous had not been the first meal that came to mind when I thought of Marseille. It was bouillabaisse, the rich soup with olive oil, garlic and saffron. I imagined enjoying it at a small portside cafe. This was clearly a romantic fantasy. For one thing, there are no small cafes at historic city. For another, the restaurants do serve bouillabaisse, but when I see the price at one place I am shocked: 69 euros! No bowl of soup should cost that much.
I give up and end up two streets away from the old harbor in a new restaurant, Ourea. For 28 euros, Chef Matthieu Roche serves a three-course lunch that includes tuna steaks and couscous.
More and more young, talented people are discovering that Marseille is an ideal place to live. There is also a growing number of Parisians moving here every year. Tired of the rush and expense of life in larger cities, the newcomers come looking for the more relaxed Mediterranean way of life.
Walking through these contrasting neighborhoods of Marseille. I think about the distinct communities here living in the same neighborhoods — together, side by side, but not mixed. They may also feel they are Marseillais first regardless of nationalities.

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website Book turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the website and register (注册) the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual. The website now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.
12. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph
A. To make comparisons. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To stress the importance. D. To provide an example.
13. Why does BookCrossing attract so many people
A. They like to pass books to another reader.
B. They like to mail books back to their owner.
C. They like to keep books safe in the bookcase.
D. They like to get back to the traditional style.
14. What does the underlined word “virtual” in the last paragraph mean
A. Unreal. B. Effective. C. Meaningful. D. Wonderful.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Electronic Books: A new Trend B. A Website Brings Tradition Back
C. Online Reading: A fashionable trend D. A Book Group for unselfish people

Molly and Maye were good friends, like sisters, not only because they were always in the same class, but also they shared an interest—both of them were crazy about acting.
Before this summer holiday, their school was to hold the annual “School Play”, wanting a whole set of actors. That was their luck. “I’d like to play a role in the show.” Molly told herself.
After reading the notice, she learned that the play was named Rapunzel, who was a magic princess. Another leading role was an evil witch (女巫) stealing Rapunzel to keep herself young forever. Immediately, Molly and Maye were both attracted by the role of princess. Apart from them, there were about twenty other girls interested in this role as well. So an audition (试镜) would be needed to choose the most suitable one.
“Do you really want to play the princess, Maye ” they walked home, arm in arm.
“Yes, a little. And you ” Maye replied.
Long silence...
Several weeks before the audition they practiced and practiced. With time speeding by, Molly’s confidence grew and she felt happy with her acting.
The morning of the audition arrived at last. Unbelievable! So many students crowded into the school hall to appreciate and witness the moment. Nervous though Molly was, she took a deep breath and recalled what she had practiced. During the audition, she tried her best to present her best self, and she was sure that she could make it.
After an anxiety-filled hour, the result of the audition came out. Molly didn’t even dare to check the result in person. Standing outside the crowd, she heard someone shouting, “Maye is the princess!” What was worse, Molly was shocked to learn that she was given the role of “witch”!

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website Book turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the website and register (注册) the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual. The website now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.
12. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph
A. To make comparisons. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To stress the importance. D. To provide an example.
13. Why does BookCrossing attract so many people
A. They like to pass books to another reader.
B. They like to mail books back to their owner.
C. They like to keep books safe in the bookcase.
D. They like to get back to the traditional style.
14. What does the underlined word “virtual” in the last paragraph mean

C. Online Reading: A fashionable trend D. A Book Group for unselfish people
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. D

【分析】这是一篇说明文。亚特兰蒂斯的故事是世界上最古老的谜团之一，文章对故事的起源和神秘进行了介绍。
【36题详解】
考查最高级。句意：亚特兰蒂斯的故事是世界上最古老的谜团之一。在one of后应用形容词最高级。故填oldest。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：2000多年前，著名的希腊作家柏拉图写了一个关于大西洋上一个美丽的岛屿的故事，他称之为亚特兰蒂斯岛。非限制性定语从句中缺少宾语，且先行词为“a beautiful island”，指物，所以应用关系代词which，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：那里的人非常富有和成功。根据“rich”可知，此处应用形容词作表语。故填successful。
【39题详解】
考查介词和固定搭配。句意：然而，当他们变得更富有，他们变得自私和贪婪，他们开始与来自其他岛屿的人争吵和斗争。fight with/against意为“和……斗争”，为固定搭配。故填with/against。
【40题详解】

【42题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：2000多年来，每个人都认为亚特兰蒂斯岛只是一个虚构的故事，直到一位名叫唐纳利的美国政治家和作家研究了从埃及到墨西哥的洪水和自然灾害的历史，才认为这个故事是关于一场真正的自然灾害。动词name意为“称作”，和主语“an American politician and writer”构成被动关系，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填named。
【43题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：后来，在20世纪60年代末，一位希腊历史学家在希腊锡拉岛上发现了一座古城的废墟。时间状语“late 1960s”前应用定冠词。故填the。
【44题详解】
考查过去完成时的被动语态。句意：当这位历史学家和他的团队检查这座古城的废墟时，他们发现以前曾有一群人住在那里，而这座城市已经被一次火山爆发摧毁并掩埋了。动词destroy和主语the city构成被动关系，用被动语态。这座城市被一次火山爆发摧毁并掩埋发生在他们发现之前，所以应用过去完成时。故填had been destroyed。
【45题详解】
考查一般现在时。句意：没有人知道，亚特兰蒂斯的故事仍然是一个谜。根据“NO one knows”可知，此处应用一般现在时。主语the story为第三人称单数。故填remains。

Molly and Maye were good friends, like sisters, not only because they were always in the same class, but also they shared an interest—both of them were crazy about acting.
Before this summer holiday, their school was to hold the annual “School Play”, wanting a whole set of actors. That was their luck. “I’d like to play a role in the show.” Molly told herself.
After reading the notice, she learned that the play was named Rapunzel, who was a magic princess. Another leading role was an evil witch (女巫) stealing Rapunzel to keep herself young forever. Immediately, Molly and Maye were both attracted by the role of princess. Apart from them, there were about twenty other girls interested in this role as well. So an audition (试镜) would be needed to choose the most suitable one.
“Do you really want to play the princess, Maye ” they walked home, arm in arm.
“Yes, a little. And you ” Maye replied.
Long silence...
Several weeks before the audition, they practiced and practiced. With time speeding by, Molly’s confidence grew and she felt happy with her acting.
The morning of the audition arrived at last. Unbelievable! So many students crowded into the school hall to appreciate and witness the moment. Nervous though Molly was, she took a deep breath and recalled what she had practiced. During the audition, she tried her best to present her best self, and she was sure that she could make it.
After an anxiety-filled hour, the result of the audition came out. Molly didn’t even dare to check the result in person. Standing outside the crowd, she heard someone shouting, “Maye is the princess!” What was worse, Molly was shocked to learn that she was given the role of “witch”!
注意：

A few days later, the big day for the play arrived.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Molly rushed home and burst out crying when her mother came. After her mom knew about everything, she smiled, “Dear, why not try your best to make witch impressed Maybe you are the best.” Molly jerked up her head as if awake from a dream. She kissed her mother in gratitude and got ready immediately. She carefully analyzed the witch’s personality traits, body language, consulted professionals, and looked up information about the relevant characters. As she learned more, her confidence grew gradually.
A few days later, the big day for the play arrived. The performance was a great success. Molly’s performance as the witch was as impressive as Maye’s as the princess, and the applause from the audience continued, which made Molly cry with joy. And her friend Maye also hugged her deeply and whispered, “If I had played a witch, I might not be as good as you.” Molly also understands a truth: no matter what role you play, as long as it is taken seriously, it will make people impressed.
