Mary Wollstonecraft, a famous writer, was born on April 27, 1759 in Spitalfields, London. She grew up in a difficult family situation. His father was violent and drunken every day. In 1778, she was tired of such a life and decided to take a job as a lady's companion to Sarah Dawson.This proved a difficult experience as she didn't get on well with the old lady.
However, around this time, she made friends with Fanny Blood, who played an important role in widening Mary's ideas.The two became very close and Fanny Blood's death in 1785 was quite a shock to Mary.
For a while, Mary worked as a tutor in a large Irish family. She had a talent for teaching but took a dislike to Lady Kingsborough. To Mary, Kingsborough was not an ideal woman. In Lady Kingsborough,she saw a woman with no real independence,but primarily concerned with appearances and pleasing men.Mary later developed her thoughts on the concept of a good wife.
Mary had a desire to become a writer.Mary returned to London where she met with famous men such as Thomas Paine,William Godwin and Joseph Johnson.In London,she became more aware of new political and philosophical ideas.The late eighteenth century was an era of change.The old“divine rights(王权神授)”of kings was being replaced with greater faith in human reason and liberty.
In 1790 ,she wrote the Vindication of the Rights of Men.This sought to defend(保卫)the principles of the French Revolution against Edmund Burke's conservative critique(批评).Shortly after the Vindication of the Rights of Men,Mary wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Women.This was a ground-breaking book,as it proposed women were the equal of men.
24.How old was Mary when she met Sarah Dawson
A.19.
B.26.
C.31.
D.33.
25.What gave Mary strength during her early difficult time
A.Meeting with Thomas Paine.
B.Teaching in an Irish family.
C.Fanny Blood's friendship.
D.Lady Kingsborough's guidance.
26.What did Mary say about Kings borough?
A.She was a good wife.
B.She was a talented woman.
C.She was very beautiful.
D.She was kind of dependent.
27.What idea does A Vindication of the Rights of Women mainly deliver
A.Women should unite to fight to the death.
B.Women should have the same rights with men.
C.Women should serve as good wives for men.
D.Women should maintain their relationships with men.

Technologically,the 20-year jump from 2015 to 2035 will be huge.Back in 1995 we were in the early days of the Internet,we worked in small rooms and our computers were heavy and powered by Windows 95.There were no touch screen phones or flat screen TVs;people laughed at the idea of reading electronic books.
So,what will our world really be like in 2035 What will the future jobs and technology be like The world in 2035 will probably be much like it is today,but smarter and more automatic.We can see the future of our work first.
Taxi drivers will be replaced by self-driving Uber cars and receptionists will be replaced by robots.Doctors can use vast medical databases and travel agents will be wiped out by trip-planning,flight-booking web services.Even writers are threatened by companies such as Narrative Science,which currently uses AI to create sports reports and financial updates.
Obviously,there will also be new jobs created:the computer engineer who fixes the self-driving Uber taxis,programmers,space tour guides and vertical(垂直的)farmers.Technology will continue to disrupt(扰乱)businesses and get rid of jobs,creating new professions we can't yet envisage now.
Those of us who work probably won't do so in a traditional office either.We're already seeing a shift in the definition of work.It's now a task you perform,not a place you go to.Productivity is no longer measured by sitting at a desk.There's no nine to five.No job for life.
The biggest advantage of working from home is that you save a lot of time commuting back and forth to work.You can spend extra time with your children or spouse and read the newspaper instead of sitting in traffic.Of course,advanced technology will ensure that most of us can work from home.
28.What's the function of the questions in paragraph 2
A.Leading in the topic of the article
B.Raising the thinking of the readers.
C.Introducing the work of the future.
D.Inspiring readers to explore the future.
29.What does the underlined word“envisage”in paragraph 4 mean
A.Assess.
B.Ignore.
C.Imagine.
D.Reject.
30.Where will most people work in the future
A.In the office.
B.At the hotel.
C. In the open air.
D.At home.
31.What will be discussed in the following paragraph
A.The future health.
B.The future technology.
C.The future marriage.
D.The future transportation.

Many cities in the United States could grow their own food locally,raising enough crops and cattle to meet the needs of all residents.This is the finding of an interesting new modeling study from Tufts University,which analyzed the potential for local food production in 378 areas across the US and expected food production.
The researchers found that cities in the Northwest in the United States had the greatest potential to raise their own food.Cities along the Eastern seaside and in the Southwest had the least potential and would not be able to meet all their own needs of diet,even if every acre of agricultural land was used for food production.This makes sense,as many of the cities are coastal and lack room for agricultural spreading.
The study revealed that the United States have a surplus(多余的)of agricultural land for feeding the domestic(国内的)population.Currently,some land is used to raise export crops,but a focus on local food production would start a conversation about how that land gets used.In the words of Peters,lead author and associate professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts,“It would be important to make sure policies for supporting local or regional food production benefit conservation and create opportunities for farmers to adopt more sustainable(可持续的)practices. Policies should also recognize the ability of the natural resources in agiven local or region and consider the supply chain,including ability for food processing and storage.”
Although it's a far cry from the current reality,it is a nice thought to imagine cities surrounded by food production operations that transport freshly harvested food to nearby homes,and then make use of the leftover food to fertilize fields and generate heat for greenhouses.
32.The cities along the Eastern seaside fail to provide enough food because_________.
A.citizens are unwilling to grow crops
B.the methods of food production are wrong
C.they don't have enough land to grow crops
D.their climate limits the agricultural production
33.What will the focus on local food production lead to
A.More job opportunities for citizens.
B.More specific policies about using land.
C.Conversations with the local government.
D.A discussion on how to make use of land.
34.In which section can we read this text in a newspaper
A.Agriculture.
B.Entertainment.
C. Lifestyle.
D.Sport.
35.What is the best title of this text
A.The US Government Stops Wasting Food
B.Many Cities in the US Can Grow Their Own Food
C.Cities Learn to Grow Food From the Villages
D.Farmers Have More Chances to Be Employed

Traveling with friends or family is always a fun bonding experience,and one of the best ways to do that is by taking a charter(租赁)bus. 36 .
Security and safety
37 .When hiring a bus,it is much harder for someone to steal it because there are not enough cars or people they can distract during an escape attempt.Additionally,some companies provide their security personnel on board their buses which adds an extra measure of safety for all passengers and the company itself.
38 .
When chartering a bus,you have more flexibility than renting cars or traveling by train.You'll also have the convenience of being able to specify precisely how much space and comfort everyone in your group needs during the trip,which is essential if there are mobility issues among some members of your party.
Comfort
If you're traveling with more than one or two people,there may be more comfortable ways to travel than staying in a car. 39 ,especially if you're traveling long distances.The seating will be comfortable,and there will probably be many electrical outlets where you can plug your devices in.
Convenience
There are many advantages of booking a charter bus over a rental car when traveling with a group,but the biggest one is convenience.If you book a charter bus,the bus company will pick you up at your start location,drive you to your end location,and even wait for you at any place where you want to stop. 40 .
A.Flexibility
B.Room for personal belongings
C.In short,the bus is your vehicle,and you can use it as you please
D.The first reason is security when you travel with more than one person
E.You just have to worry about having fun safely with other fellow travelers
F.A chartered bus will give everyone in your group some much-needed comfort
G.Here are the reasons why you should book a charter bus when traveling with a group

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
"Would you say you are more of a scientist or an artist " I commonly heard this question as I was preparing to start my neuroscience doctoral program,often after I told my teachers and classmates that I love writing poetry.I learned to respond,“A scientist”not because it was necessarily true,but because I felt it would win me more respect.As an undergraduate,poetry had been a way for me to relax.But in grad school,I wanted to be seen as just as devoted to my work as those around me,who appeared completely undisturbed by nonscientific hobbies.So,I left my poetry by the wayside—but it wasn't long before I felt a huge void(空虚)in my life.
By the second year of my Ph.D.,my paper project had become very boring and tiring and I was starting to burn out.One afternoon,a student mentioned the weekly event held by the university's poetry club,of which she was a leader.After hearing how much I enjoyed poetry,she declared,“You should come!”A few days later,I sat in a crowded cafe,excited to be here and to be a part of it.
Through reading and writing poems,I rediscovered how to relax.However,I still worried about appearing less than fully dedicated to my science.So,when a senior grad student in my lab whispered, "I hear you love poetry!"I froze.My heart began to race. She went on to invite me to perform at our department's art gala(联欢会).“By the way,Cheryl will be performing!”she added.
I was surprised to discover that Cheryl,our lab's principal investigator,was a dancer.I excitedly sought her out,and we spoke for more than an hour about how science and art could intertwine(交织).She explained that my skill at picking up patterns in experimental results was the same one I used to create rhymes in my poems.With Cheryl as a model,I decided to perform at the gala,for once not feeling I had anything to hide.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The night of the gala,I was amazed at the talent of the performers.________

Dear Jason,
I'm glad to receive your letter. When it comes to sports events,my favorite is playing football.First of all,it's an active sport,which can help me keep fit and stay in shape.Secondly,it‘s a team sport.By playing football,I can not only develop deep friendships with others,but also have strong awareness of the importance of teamwork.Last but not least,I learned first aid skills in this sport,which is very useful.
What's your favorite sport Would you like to share it with me?I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
The night of the gala,I was amazed at the talent of the performers.Chatting with the other performers,I found many of them were also graduate students.I realized many shared my concern that we might interpret a passion for art as a lack of passion for science.But over the course of the evening,I found myself at peace with the two halves of my identity,and I got the feeling that others felt that same peace,too.
Since then,I decided to be my whole self.While completing my Ph.D.,I often wrote poetry in my spare time.Some teachers and students have seen the value of this outside interest;others have been distrustful.But when I have my own doubts,I think of some famous figures,whose achievements remind me that art and science can balance and enhance each other.And now, if someone asks me whether I'm more of a scientist or an artist,I very proudly say,“Both.”
