"It was written in some sense," Sophie Blake, a physics professor, would end up in observational
cosmology—the study of the origin and development of the universe using specialized telescopes. "I'm not going
to lie. My father was a physicist. My mother's an astronomer. But no kid wants to be like their parents," she jokes,
semi-seriously.
Blake always enjoyed building things like a child engineer. It wasn't unusual for her to experiment with her
father's research equipment. She thanks, in part, her short attention period for her inquisitiveness, "I am always
looking for something."
For the last few years, Blake has been searching for signs of the universe's early existence—from the birth of
the first stars to the "cosmic（宇宙的）dark ages"—and she's building her own equipment to explore beyond the
known universe, focusing on its distant past with novel radio technology. Since 2017, Blake and her team have
been engineering and planting radio telescopes in two of the Earth's most remote（and quietest）locations for the
best shot at hearing the earliest voice of the universe.
Initially, Blake planned a PhD in particle（粒子）physics but switched direction after a visit to a lab with
messy equipment and tools everywhere at the California Institute of Technology. "I didn't know about
observational cosmology then but thought, ‘Whatever this is, I want to do that.’"
She spent a year at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, after conducting experiments of a balloon-borne
microwave telescope launched from McMurdo. "That really inspired my love for remote places," she said.
Eventually, she wanted to engineer her own instruments. After her year at the South Pole, she joined the
University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. At that time, the site decision was made for the largest radio
telescope group on Earth.
"This was also a leap of faith because I really couldn't continue the work I was doing before." Blake recalls.
"I had never done radio before but I thought, 'Let me give this a try and see how it goes.'"
24. What can we infer from Blake's joke in paragraph 1
A. She follows in her parents' footsteps. B. She develops an interest in telescopes.
C. She lies about her parents' professions. D. She lives up to her parents' expectations.
25. What does the underlined word "inquisitiveness" in paragraph 2 mean
A. Talent. B. Courage. C. Curiosity. D. Intelligence.
26. What inspired Blake's passion for distant places
A. Her visit to a lab in a university. B. Her wish to build her own equipment.
C. Her faith in hearing the cosmic sound. D. Her experience at a South Pole Station.
27. Which of the following best describes Blake
A. Confident and caring. B. Generous and optimistic.
C. Modest and open-minded. D. Adventurous and determined.
C
As humanity has got richer, animal’s roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer
wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine (内燃机) made
horses unneeded; modern sanitation (卫生设备) kept rats in check and made cats less useful. Domestic animals
are no longer necessities, but commonly seen companions. Pet-keeping seems to become more and more popular,
as a recent survey found that 69% of American households keep at least one pet.
The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more
money on them. No longer are they food-waste-recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters’ tables.
Pet food shelves are full of cuisines tailored to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods
for pets that are old, diabetic, or suffer from sensitive digestion.
In the business, this is called “pet humanization” — the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of
the family. This is obvious in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex, and Spot to Bella,
Lucy, and Max.
People still hold the false assumption that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making
people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. New research suggests that dogs have evolved
those “cute eyes” to affect human emotions and control them, which works very well. Humans now work very
hard to pay for the care of their pets. For example, Americans often refer to themselves not as cat owners but as
the cat’s “mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one step further, describing themselves as cat “butlers (管家)”.
Watch an unlucky man walking his dog, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and we have to doubt: who’s in
charge now Is this relationship what we really want
28. What can we learn about the animal-keeping trend
A. People’s needs for animal services are increasing.
B. The price for purchasing a domestic pet is on the rise.
C. Pet foods are less various and customized than before.
D. Both the pet number and the pet business are growing.
29. Which of the following is the evidence of “pet humanization”
A．Pets’ ability to make their owners less anxious.
B．Human’s increasing investment in pet-keeping.
C．Pet’s roles as both working staff and companions.
D．The owners’ preference to give pets human names.
30．What is the author’s attitude towards the current human-pet relationship
A．doubtful. B．objective. C．Unclear. D．supportive
31．Which might be the best title of the passage
A．The Changing Roles of Pets B．The Growing Trend of Pet Business
C．The Craze for Pet-keeping D．The Pros and Cons of Keeping Pets
D
Imagine a warm spring day 66 million years ago. These could have been the very last moments of the dinosaur
era when a city-sized asteroid (小行星 ) struck Earth, killing off three quarters of all species on the planet.
According to a study published in Nature on Feb 23,the asteroid hit in springtime.
Scientists have long been confused over the time of year the asteroid hit, and how some animals managed to
survive while dinosaurs didn’t, according to USA Today.
Researchers in 20l9 discovered fossilized（变成化石的） fishes in North Dakota that died shortly after the
asteroid hit Earth. They examined the fossils with a particle accelerator（粒子加速器） and found out there was
seasonal growth on the bone. All fish bone cell densities and volumes can indicate the season. Because the
accelerator also could capture the sizes, researchers were able to determine when in the year the asteroid hit,
Dennis Voeten told USA Today.
“I think spring puts a large group of the late Cretaceous biota（生物群） in a very unprotected spot because
they were out and about looking for food, tending to offspring after the winter,” Melanie During, the main author
of the study.
In the Southern Hemisphere, it was autumn. Therefore, life in the Southern Hemisphere was a lot more
prepared for this event.
It is unclear whether small animals in the Northern Hemisphere actually did worse than those in the south.
There is evidence that Northern Hemisphere turtles were wiped out in the asteroid strike, after which their
habitats were later repopulated by turtles from the south, Voeten told The Guardian.
Nothing much larger than a house cat survived the asteroid impact and many species would have been killed
whenever it hit, Daniel Field, a professor at the University of Cambridge, told The Guardian.
32．Which probably helps find the time of year the asteroid hit
A．The types of fossilized fishes. B．The location of fossilized fishes.
C．The number of fish fossils in the area. D．The volume and density of the fish bone cells.
33．What causes the species’ extinction when the asteroid hit in Melanie During’s opinion
A．The season of the hit. B．The size of asteroid.
C．The group size of species. D．The body shape of animals.
34．Which would Daniel Field most probably agree with
A．Chances of survival depended on it where the species lived at the time.
B．Many species could have survived the asteroid strike but for the season.
C．Many species had little chance to survive even if it was a different season.
D．Animals from the Southern Hemisphere were less affected by asteroid strikes.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．The Science behind the Asteroid B．Occurrence of the Natural Disaster
C．The Effect of Dinosaurs’ Extinction D．New Research on the Asteroid Strike

When something goes wrong, do you tend to bounce back or fall apart When you have resilience (恢复力),
you have the inner strength that helps you rebound from a setback or challenge. 36 Here are some skills
to help you develop resilience（弹力）.
Realize it’s normal. Less than 20 percent of people successfully achieve their goal the first time around. It’s
normal and expected for setbacks to occur. 37 Knowing this, it’s important to predict that the main task
will be how to effectively manage the setback when it arises.
Learn from the past. 38 Think about what has helped you through tough times. You can even
write about past events in a journal to help you see the patterns of how you behave and to help guide you in the
future.
39 Tend to your own needs and feelings. Do activities and hobbies you enjoy. Include physical
activity in your daily routine. Get plenty of sleep and make bedtime rituals. Eat a healthy diet. Practice how to
manage stress. Try ways to relax, such as yoga, meditation, guided imagery, deep breathing or prayer.
Take action. Don’t ignore your problems. 40 It can take time to recover from a major setback,
trauma or loss. But know that your life can improve if you work at it.
A．Take care of yourself.
B．Make every day have meaning.
C．Think of how you’ve dealt with troubles in the past.
D．Connect with others by joining a faith or spiritual group.
E．Instead, figure out what you need to do, make a plan and take action.
F．In other words, it’s not about whether a challenge will happen, but when.
G．If you lack resilience, you might get stuck on problems or feel like a victim.

Many years ago, I was at a girls’ school and our teacher made all the girls in the class sit next
to someone different every day.
On one of the days, my teacher paired Madhuri, who I had never talked to, and me to sit next
to each other. I noticed that she seemed very anxious. I asked her what was wrong. She remained
silent at first, but eventually, she told me that she had three sisters in her family and that her father
couldn’t afford school books for all of them.
My primary school was strict, as was the standard then, and if you didn’t have your school
books the teacher would make you leave the class. Madhuri was very anxious that day because she
thought that the teacher would tell her to leave the class. When the teacher saw that she didn’t have
the books, he told Madhuri that she couldn’t attend class for a week.
Madhuri was very upset. I felt so bad when I saw her pain that I decided to help her. I went to
speak to her and offered to buy the books for her. She refused my offer to help. She had very strong
principles and she would never accept things bought by others.
When I got home from school I told my mom the story. She said that it was good that I had
tried to help but I should stop worrying about it because there was nothing more that I could do if
she had refused my offer to help. I couldn’t stop worrying about it though.

research. His hard work finally paid off. Nuclear and hydrogen bombs were developed by his team,
greatly improving China’s defense power. Greatly acknowledged by the whole nation, he was
awarded several national prizes. Unfortunately, he developed cancer because of nuclear radiation,
and passed away in 1986.
He will always be remembered. (96单词)

67．Then I had an idea. My older brother, who had once used the same series of books, graduated
from school last year. Why not turn to him for help Maybe those old books were the solution to
the problem. They wouldn’t cost anything so Madhuri could accept without any pressure. I went to
mom and my brother immediately. After hearing Madhuri’s situation and my plan, my brother was
quite willing to help. We sorted out the needed books for Madhuri together very quickly. Looking
at the neatly piled books, I felt quite satisfied and delighted but suddenly a concern flashed across
my mind, “Would Madhuri mind they are second-hand books ”
The next day, I got up early so that I could go to her house before going to school. Not
knowing what would happen and not sure whether she would accept the books or not, I knocked at
the door nervously. When the door opened, I could see her surprised expression. Hearing that these
books were old books of my brother, she accepted them without hesitation. I also got a weight off
my mind. On the way to school, I could see from her face how happy she was. From that day on,
something changed and as the day passed and the years moved on, Madhuri and I became best
friends.
