John A. Roebling (1806-1869)
John A. Roebling moved to the US from Germany in 1830. He invented a way to make wire rope (钢丝索) to hold suspension (悬浮) bridges. He built his first railroad suspension bridges from Niagara, New York to Canada. His most famous bridge is New York's Brooklyn Bridge. He died after an accident during the construction. His son Washington completed the bridge by following his careful plans.

Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy, while her wealthy English parents were travelling in Europe. As a child, she travelled to many places with her family and learned how to speak several languages.
When Nightingale was 17, she told her family that she was going to help sick people. Her parents did not approve, but Nightingale was determined.
She travelled to hospitals all over Europe. She saw that doctors were working too hard. She saw that patients died because they did not get enough care. Nightingale felt that women could be doing more to help doctors take care of sick people.
Nightingale knew that in order for nurses to do more, they needed special training in how to take care of sick people. Nightingale went to a hospital in Germany to study nursing. Then she returned to London and became the head of a group of women called Gentlewomen During Illness. These women cared for sick people in their homes.
In 1854, England was fighting a war with Russia. No reporters wrote about the terrible conditions in the hospitals that cared for the wounded. People demanded that something be done about it. A leader of the government asked Nightingale to take some nurses into the war hospitals. So, in November 1854, Nightingale finally got to work in a hospital. She took along 38 nurses whom she had trained herself.
At first, the doctors on the battlefields did not want Nightingale and her nurses in their hospitals. They did not believe that women could help. But in fact, the nurses did make a difference. They worked around the clock, tending the sick. Thanks to their hard work, many wounded soldiers survived.
After the war, Nightingale and her nurses were treated like heroes. Finally, in 1860, she started the Nightingale School for Nurses. In time, thanks to Florence Nightingale, nursing became an important part of medicine.
24.What do we know about Nightingale from Paragraph 1
A.She grew up in Italy.
B.She visited many places in Italy.
C.Her family was rich.
D.She could speak several languages fluently.
25.What was Nightingale's parents' attitude toward her decision to be a doctor

B.They supported it.
C.They were happy about it.
D.They disagreed with it.
26.How was Nightingale's attempt about nurses to work with doctors in the hospital
A.It was not practical.
B.It turned out to be a success.
C.It was rejected by the government.
D.It was welcomed by many doctors.
27.What role did Nightingale play according to the passage
A.A reporter of the war.
B.A pioneer in women's illness.
C.The founder of modern nursing.
D.An educator in women's education.
C
Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.
In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated (激励) by scientists whose success was connected with efforts than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein.
Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at the Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann, an assistant professor of Psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings—recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology—would help deal with the certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science.
According to the researchers, there is anxiety in the science community about a number of students who run after careers in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research role models, who give the students specific goals, behavior or strategies they can follow.
The researchers performed studies with 176 and 162 participants in each study respectively (分别地). In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in his science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Although the stories were the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein's success. In addition, the participants who believe the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths problems.
“This proved that people generally seem to view Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly linked to extraordinary talent,” Hu said. “Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked to his efforts.” Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the science career confidently.”
28.What kind of scientist is more inspiring
A.Those who made important discoveries.
B.Those who were born with a gift.
C.Those who are viewed as great inventors.
D.Those who are famous for their hard work.
29.What is the concern in the science community
A.The students will drop out of school soon.
B.There are fewer role models for students to follow.
C.Fewer students will continue to work on science.
D.Some scientists cannot give students specific goals.
30.Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems
A.They knew the problems were given by Edison.
B.They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.
C.They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.
D.They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.
31.What is the best title for the text
A.Einstein Is Less Encouraging than Edison
B.Einstein's Success Story
C.How to Be a Great Scientist
D.Edison's Achievements Are Greater
D
Eugene Newman Parker, a leading figure in heliospheric (日球层的) physics for the past half century, passed away peacefully at his home in Chicago on Mar.15. He was 94.
Acknowledged as a visionary in the field of heliophysics, Parker changed our understanding of the sun and its effects on Earth and other bodies within the solar system. NASA even stated that “the field of heliophysics exists in large part because of Dr Eugene Parker”. In 2018, Parker became the first living scientist to witness the launch of a spacecraft that was named in his honor.
Parker is best known for his groundbreaking theory on the existence of a phenomenon called “solar wind”, a continuous stream of charged particles that flow off the sun. It can become violent, causing space weather that impacts the Earth. When Parker's research was published in 1958, his theory was initially met with skepticism (怀疑) and ridicule by the scientific community. The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an absolute vacuum (真空), and was thus completely empty of any matter. But, there were no errors in his study or his calculations, and the theory was later proven to be correct in 1962, when a NASA spacecraft mission to Venus revealed the constant presence of a supersonic wind—exactly as Parker had predicted.
That experience likely led to the advice Parker often gave young researchers: “If you do something new or innovative, expect trouble. But think critically about it because if you're wrong, you want to be the first one to know that.” Parker never co-authored a paper with his students, thus urging them to be independent.
Parker was humble, straightforward, and wise. His son Eric said, “My sister Joyce and I didn't get a real feel for what a ‘big dog’ our dad was in the field.” They got an even better sense when a month after Parker's death, they traveled to Lund, Sweden, to accept on his behalf the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy.
32.What can we learn from the second paragraph
A.A spacecraft was named in memory of Parker.
B.The sun has less effect on Earth than expected.
C.Parker deserved credit for his great contributions.
D.NASA provided new insights into the lunar effect.
33.Why did people view Parker's theory of “solar wind” skeptically at first
A.Some mistakes were found in his calculations.
B.It went against the popular opinion at that time.
C.The presence of a supersonic wind was proven by NASA.
D.Matter was believed to exist in the space between planets.
34.What advice did Parker often give to young researchers
A.Expect challenges and critically evaluate your work.
B.Stick to conventional methods to minimize risks.
C.Depend on your professor for decision-making.
D.Cooperate frequently to ensure success.
35.What words can be used to describe Parker according to the passage
A.Responsible and accessible.
B.Straightforward and generous.
C.Distinguished yet modest.
D.Intelligent yet peculiar.

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。
My name is Padmanabhan and I am an average kid. My father is a great scientist who is known all over the world and is interested in making new things. However, I usually get around 50 points out of 100 in my exams.
One time, my scores were 45,54,65,29, and 48, as low as usual. My class topper Benjamin made fun of me like he usually did, “Here comes the son of the greatest scientist in the world. I wonder why he did not inherit (继承) his father's brain!” The whole class laughed for the joke going on for years.
Then I found myself waiting for my birthday and my father called me to choose my present.
“What do you want for the gift?” he asked.
“I just want to beat Benjamin!” I said to him.
“You have to study for that,” my father said.
After two months, my father told me his new invention was complete. “I created the microsensor (微型传感器)!” he said. He gave it to me as my birthday gift.
“What does it do?” I asked.
“What you need to do is a little thing. You put on the power glasses, insert (插入) the sensor in it and allow it a few moments to start. Then the sensor is connected to your brain. You just think, ‘OK, micro.’ Then you ask a question. It will answer it perfectly in your brain. It's good for your study when you meet problems you can't solve.”
A week later, my teacher said that whoever gets the highest grade in the exam will be given a tour to the Disneyland. Wow! All I wanted to do in my life was to visit the Disneyland.
So on the day of the exam, even though I did not study, I had confidence in the sensor. It was already connected to the glasses.
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。
  I asked my father whether I could use it.                                                                                                                                                    So, with one last look on the glasses, I slowly kept it in my bag.

Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy, while her wealthy English parents were travelling in Europe. As a child, she travelled to many places with her family and learned how to speak several languages.
When Nightingale was 17, she told her family that she was going to help sick people. Her parents did not approve, but Nightingale was determined.
She travelled to hospitals all over Europe. She saw that doctors were working too hard. She saw that patients died because they did not get enough care. Nightingale felt that women could be doing more to help doctors take care of sick people.
Nightingale knew that in order for nurses to do more, they needed special training in how to take care of sick people. Nightingale went to a hospital in Germany to study nursing. Then she returned to London and became the head of a group of women called Gentlewomen During Illness. These women cared for sick people in their homes.
In 1854, England was fighting a war with Russia. No reporters wrote about the terrible conditions in the hospitals that cared for the wounded. People demanded that something be done about it. A leader of the government asked Nightingale to take some nurses into the war hospitals. So, in November 1854, Nightingale finally got to work in a hospital. She took along 38 nurses whom she had trained herself.
At first, the doctors on the battlefields did not want Nightingale and her nurses in their hospitals. They did not believe that women could help. But in fact, the nurses did make a difference. They worked around the clock, tending the sick. Thanks to their hard work, many wounded soldiers survived.
After the war, Nightingale and her nurses were treated like heroes. Finally, in 1860, she started the Nightingale School for Nurses. In time, thanks to Florence Nightingale, nursing became an important part of medicine.

Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.
In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated (激励) by scientists whose success was connected with efforts than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein.
Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at the Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann, an assistant professor of Psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings—recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology—would help deal with the certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science.
According to the researchers, there is anxiety in the science community about a number of students who run after careers in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research role models, who give the students specific goals, behavior or strategies they can follow.
The researchers performed studies with 176 and 162 participants in each study respectively (分别地). In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in his science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Although the stories were the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein's success. In addition, the participants who believe the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths problems.
“This proved that people generally seem to view Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly linked to extraordinary talent,” Hu said. “Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked to his efforts.” Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the science career confidently.”

A.They knew the problems were given by Edison.
B.They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.
C.They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.
D.They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.

Eugene Newman Parker, a leading figure in heliospheric (日球层的) physics for the past half century, passed away peacefully at his home in Chicago on Mar.15. He was 94.
Acknowledged as a visionary in the field of heliophysics, Parker changed our understanding of the sun and its effects on Earth and other bodies within the solar system. NASA even stated that “the field of heliophysics exists in large part because of Dr Eugene Parker”. In 2018, Parker became the first living scientist to witness the launch of a spacecraft that was named in his honor.
Parker is best known for his groundbreaking theory on the existence of a phenomenon called “solar wind”, a continuous stream of charged particles that flow off the sun. It can become violent, causing space weather that impacts the Earth. When Parker's research was published in 1958, his theory was initially met with skepticism (怀疑) and ridicule by the scientific community. The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an absolute vacuum (真空), and was thus completely empty of any matter. But, there were no errors in his study or his calculations, and the theory was later proven to be correct in 1962, when a NASA spacecraft mission to Venus revealed the constant presence of a supersonic wind—exactly as Parker had predicted.
That experience likely led to the advice Parker often gave young researchers: “If you do something new or innovative, expect trouble. But think critically about it because if you're wrong, you want to be the first one to know that.” Parker never co-authored a paper with his students, thus urging them to be independent.
Parker was humble, straightforward, and wise. His son Eric said, “My sister Joyce and I didn't get a real feel for what a ‘big dog’ our dad was in the field.” They got an even better sense when a month after Parker's death, they traveled to Lund, Sweden, to accept on his behalf the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy.
篇章导读:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了太阳物理学的领军人物Eugene Newman Parker (尤金·纽曼·帕克)的贡献以及他对年轻人的影响。
32.What can we learn from the second paragraph
A.A spacecraft was named in memory of Parker.
B.The sun has less effect on Earth than expected.
C.Parker deserved credit for his great contributions.
D.NASA provided new insights into the lunar effect.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Acknowledged as a visionary ... within the solar system.”可推知,Parker对整个太阳物理学领域做出了极大的贡献,他是值得赞扬的。故选C。
33.Why did people view Parker's theory of “solar wind” skeptically at first
A.Some mistakes were found in his calculations.
B.It went against the popular opinion at that time.
C.The presence of a supersonic wind was proven by NASA.
D.Matter was believed to exist in the space between planets.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When Parker's research was published ... of any matter.”可知,人们起初对Parker的“太阳风”理论持怀疑态度,因为它违背了当时的行星之间的空间是绝对真空的普遍观点。故选B。
34.What advice did Parker often give to young researchers
A.Expect challenges and critically evaluate your work.
B.Stick to conventional methods to minimize risks.
C.Depend on your professor for decision-making.
D.Cooperate frequently to ensure success.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“That experience likely led to ... to know that.’”可知,Parker经常给年轻研究人员的建议是预料可能的挑战,批判性地评估自己的工作。故选A。
35.What words can be used to describe Parker according to the passage
A.Responsible and accessible.
B.Straightforward and generous.
C.Distinguished yet modest.
D.Intelligent yet peculiar.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Acknowledged as a visionary ... within the solar system.”可推知,Parker是一位杰出的人;根据最后一段中的“Parker was humble, straightforward, and wise.”可知,Parker是谦逊的。故选C。

解析:考查形容词的最高级。句意:它是世界上最大、保存最完好的古代木结构宫殿建筑群。根据“best-preserved”和“in the world”可知,设空处应用形容词最高级。故填largest。
58.答案:between
解析:考查介词。between ... and ... “在……之间”。故填between。
59.答案:which
解析:考查定语从句的引导词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是the Forbidden City,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,设空处应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
60.答案:including
解析:考查词性转换。根据“ancient calligraphy works, Chinese paintings and ancient books”可知,此处应用介词including“包括”,表示列举。故填including。
61.答案:a
解析:考查冠词。设空处泛指“一个受欢迎的旅游景点”,应用不定冠词,popular的发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。
62.答案:to visit
解析:考查非谓语动词。It is possible to do sth “做某事是可能的”,为固定句型,此处it是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式。故填to visit。
63.答案:cultural
解析:考查词性转换。此处应用形容词作定语修饰名词heritage。故填cultural。
64.答案:are advised
解析:考查动词的时态和语态。根据下文谓语动词 have可知,设空处谓语动词应用一般现在时;主语You与advise为被动关系,应用被动语态。故填are advised。
65.答案:exploring
解析:考查非谓语动词。have interest in doing sth “对做某事感兴趣”,介词in后接动名词作宾语。故填exploring。

Distinguished guests,
I am Li Hua. On behalf of my school, I'd like to express our warm welcome. It's a great privilege for me to accompany you on the visit to Taicang Harbour.
The harbour witnessed the first voyage of Zheng He, one of China's greatest explorers. A large fleet led by him navigated the blue seas, creating a splendid scene. Altogether, Zheng He made seven voyages to many countries and regions with his ships loaded with china, silk and tea as gifts. These voyages have a far-reaching impact on China and its neighbors, helping develop and strengthen mutual harmonious relations.
May you have an unforgettable experience.
第二节(满分25分)
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。
My name is Padmanabhan and I am an average kid. My father is a great scientist who is known all over the world and is interested in making new things. However, I usually get around 50 points out of 100 in my exams.
One time, my scores were 45,54,65,29, and 48, as low as usual. My class topper Benjamin made fun of me like he usually did, “Here comes the son of the greatest scientist in the world. I wonder why he did not inherit (继承) his father's brain!” The whole class laughed for the joke going on for years.
Then I found myself waiting for my birthday and my father called me to choose my present.
“What do you want for the gift?” he asked.
“I just want to beat Benjamin!” I said to him.
“You have to study for that,” my father said.
After two months, my father told me his new invention was complete. “I created the microsensor (微型传感器)!” he said. He gave it to me as my birthday gift.
“What does it do?” I asked.
“What you need to do is a little thing. You put on the power glasses, insert (插入) the sensor in it and allow it a few moments to start. Then the sensor is connected to your brain. You just think, ‘OK, micro.’ Then you ask a question. It will answer it perfectly in your brain. It's good for your study when you meet problems you can't solve.”
A week later, my teacher said that whoever gets the highest grade in the exam will be given a tour to the Disneyland. Wow! All I wanted to do in my life was to visit the Disneyland.
So on the day of the exam, even though I did not study, I had confidence in the sensor. It was already connected to the glasses.
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。
  I asked my father whether I could use it.                                                                                                                                                    So, with one last look on the glasses, I slowly kept it in my bag.                                                                                                                                                    
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Padmanabhan (帕德马纳班)得到了科学家父亲发明的微型传感器作为生日礼物。这个传感器能在他遇到难题时提供答案,从而提升成绩。在得知考试优胜者能获得迪士尼乐园之旅奖励后,父亲同意Padmanabhan使用传感器参加考试了吗?考试结果出来后爸爸又会怎么做呢?
[精彩范文]
I asked my father whether I could use it. “No! I will never allow you to do that! You have to use your brain! First, to be a great man, you need to be honest!” my father yelled. But I had to win. So, I stole the glasses and ran off. On the exam day, I started to write the paper. I could easily win. But suddenly, my father's words rang in my ears. I couldn't do this. I should not be greedy.
So, with one last look on the glasses, I slowly kept it in my bag. The exam results came the same day. I got 46.5. As usual, Benjamin was the topper. He got the chance to visit the Disneyland. Then I met my father in his room. “I could not beat him. I am sorry. I should not have done it,” I said. “Even though you took it, you did not use it. You are a really good boy. You are honest. For that, I am taking you to the Disneyland,” he said. And that was the happiest day of my life.

Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy, while her wealthy English parents were travelling in Europe. As a child, she travelled to many places with her family and learned how to speak several languages.
When Nightingale was 17, she told her family that she was going to help sick people. Her parents did not approve, but Nightingale was determined.
She travelled to hospitals all over Europe. She saw that doctors were working too hard. She saw that patients died because they did not get enough care. Nightingale felt that women could be doing more to help doctors take care of sick people.
Nightingale knew that in order for nurses to do more, they needed special training in how to take care of sick people. Nightingale went to a hospital in Germany to study nursing. Then she returned to London and became the head of a group of women called Gentlewomen During Illness. These women cared for sick people in their homes.
In 1854, England was fighting a war with Russia. No reporters wrote about the terrible conditions in the hospitals that cared for the wounded. People demanded that something be done about it. A leader of the government asked Nightingale to take some nurses into the war hospitals. So, in November 1854, Nightingale finally got to work in a hospital. She took along 38 nurses whom she had trained herself.
At first, the doctors on the battlefields did not want Nightingale and her nurses in their hospitals. They did not believe that women could help. But in fact, the nurses did make a difference. They worked around the clock, tending the sick. Thanks to their hard work, many wounded soldiers survived.
After the war, Nightingale and her nurses were treated like heroes. Finally, in 1860, she started the Nightingale School for Nurses. In time, thanks to Florence Nightingale, nursing became an important part of medicine.

Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.
In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated (激励) by scientists whose success was connected with efforts than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein.
Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at the Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann, an assistant professor of Psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings—recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology—would help deal with the certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science.
According to the researchers, there is anxiety in the science community about a number of students who run after careers in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research role models, who give the students specific goals, behavior or strategies they can follow.
The researchers performed studies with 176 and 162 participants in each study respectively (分别地). In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in his science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Although the stories were the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein's success. In addition, the participants who believe the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths problems.
“This proved that people generally seem to view Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly linked to extraordinary talent,” Hu said. “Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked to his efforts.” Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the science career confidently.”
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。研究发现,以辛勤工作著称的科学家比被视为天生才华横溢的科学家更鼓舞人心。
28.What kind of scientist is more inspiring
A.Those who made important discoveries.
B.Those who were born with a gift.
C.Those who are viewed as great inventors.
D.Those who are famous for their hard work.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“but new research suggests ... as naturally brilliant”可知,新的研究表明,那些因努力工作而著名的科学家更鼓舞人心。故选D。
29.What is the concern in the science community
A.The students will drop out of school soon.
B.There are fewer role models for students to follow.
C.Fewer students will continue to work on science.
D.Some scientists cannot give students specific goals.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“According to the researchers ... graduate from college.”可知,科学界担心的是更少的学生将继续从事科学研究。故选C。
30.Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems
A.They knew the problems were given by Edison.
B.They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.
C.They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.
D.They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“In addition ... of maths problems.”和最后一段中的“Edison, on the other hand ... to his efforts.”可知,相信关于Edison (爱迪生)的故事的参与者更有动力完成一系列数学问题,由此可推知,通过Edison的故事,他们相信通过辛勤工作可以解决问题。故选B。
31.What is the best title for the text
A.Einstein Is Less Encouraging than Edison
B.Einstein's Success Story
C.How to Be a Great Scientist
D.Edison's Achievements Are Greater
解析:标题判断题。通读全文可知,研究发现,以辛勤工作著称的科学家比被视为天生才华横溢的科学家更鼓舞人心,文章列举了Einstein (爱因斯坦)和Edison的例子佐证了这一观点。A项(爱因斯坦不如爱迪生鼓舞人心)最适合作为文章标题。故选A。
D
Eugene Newman Parker, a leading figure in heliospheric (日球层的) physics for the past half century, passed away peacefully at his home in Chicago on Mar.15. He was 94.
Acknowledged as a visionary in the field of heliophysics, Parker changed our understanding of the sun and its effects on Earth and other bodies within the solar system. NASA even stated that “the field of heliophysics exists in large part because of Dr Eugene Parker”. In 2018, Parker became the first living scientist to witness the launch of a spacecraft that was named in his honor.
Parker is best known for his groundbreaking theory on the existence of a phenomenon called “solar wind”, a continuous stream of charged particles that flow off the sun. It can become violent, causing space weather that impacts the Earth. When Parker's research was published in 1958, his theory was initially met with skepticism (怀疑) and ridicule by the scientific community. The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an absolute vacuum (真空), and was thus completely empty of any matter. But, there were no errors in his study or his calculations, and the theory was later proven to be correct in 1962, when a NASA spacecraft mission to Venus revealed the constant presence of a supersonic wind—exactly as Parker had predicted.
That experience likely led to the advice Parker often gave young researchers: “If you do something new or innovative, expect trouble. But think critically about it because if you're wrong, you want to be the first one to know that.” Parker never co-authored a paper with his students, thus urging them to be independent.
Parker was humble, straightforward, and wise. His son Eric said, “My sister Joyce and I didn't get a real feel for what a ‘big dog’ our dad was in the field.” They got an even better sense when a month after Parker's death, they traveled to Lund, Sweden, to accept on his behalf the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy.

58.答案:between
59.答案:which
解析:考查介词。between ... and ... “在……之间”。故填between。

My name is Padmanabhan and I am an average kid. My father is a great scientist who is known all over the world and is interested in making new things. However, I usually get around 50 points out of 100 in my exams.
One time, my scores were 45,54,65,29, and 48, as low as usual. My class topper Benjamin made fun of me like he usually did, “Here comes the son of the greatest scientist in the world. I wonder why he did not inherit (继承) his father's brain!” The whole class laughed for the joke going on for years.
Then I found myself waiting for my birthday and my father called me to choose my present.
“What do you want for the gift?” he asked.
“I just want to beat Benjamin!” I said to him.
“You have to study for that,” my father said.
After two months, my father told me his new invention was complete. “I created the microsensor (微型传感器)!” he said. He gave it to me as my birthday gift.
“What does it do?” I asked.
“What you need to do is a little thing. You put on the power glasses, insert (插入) the sensor in it and allow it a few moments to start. Then the sensor is connected to your brain. You just think, ‘OK, micro.’ Then you ask a question. It will answer it perfectly in your brain. It's good for your study when you meet problems you can't solve.”
A week later, my teacher said that whoever gets the highest grade in the exam will be given a tour to the Disneyland. Wow! All I wanted to do in my life was to visit the Disneyland.
So on the day of the exam, even though I did not study, I had confidence in the sensor. It was already connected to the glasses.
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。
I asked my father whether I could use it.﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
So, with one last look on the glasses, I slowly kept it in my bag. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍

I asked my father whether I could use it. “No! I will never allow you to do that! You have to use your brain! First, to be a great man, you need to be honest!” my father yelled. But I had to win. So, I stole the glasses and ran off. On the exam day, I started to write the paper. I could easily win. But suddenly, my father's words rang in my ears. I couldn't do this. I should not be greedy.
So, with one last look on the glasses, I slowly kept it in my bag. The exam results came the same day. I got 46.5. As usual, Benjamin was the topper. He got the chance to visit the Disneyland. Then I met my father in his room. “I could not beat him. I am sorry. I should not have done it,” I said. “Even though you took it, you did not use it. You are a really good boy. You are honest. For that, I am taking you to the Disneyland,” he said. And that was the happiest day of my life.
